cheerleader-ethan and emma

chapter twenty five

emma's pov:

"AHHHHHHH"

i woke up to screaming.

my eyes shot open and i was being spooned by ethan.

lisa stood at the frame of ethan's door, a basket of laundry attached to her hip.

"oh my god." she whispered.

"um- i..." i stuttered.

her mouth hung open and her eyes were popping out of her head.

"did you two..." lisa began.

i rapidly shook my head no, realizing what she was implying.

"ok...." she hesitated.

"what does this mean?" lisa asked.

i sighed and shrugged. i could feel my cheeks heat up and my body start to tremble.

is she going to kick me out? yes, she definitely is going to ask me to leave.

"i'll go pack my stuff. i'll call my case worker and see where she can place me." i blurted.

of course i had to fucking ruin this. i had a semi permanent home but now i have to leave to go to some foster home that won't want me.

"honey, what are you talking about?" lisa asked, utterly confused.

"well i know i'm going to have to leave now because of this..." i said sadly.

"what? oh god no emma. sean and i are your godparents! you're not going into the system just because i found you cuddling with my son. besides, you and grayson do it all the time." lisa explained. she clearly was not phased by this after she found out we didn't fuck.

ethan groaned and rolled over closer to me. i was sitting up and he nuzzled his head into my lap.

lisa laughed lightly and shook her head.

"between you and me, ethan is a big softie. he may put on a tough face, but he really likes affection."

i laughed and blushed again, partially embarrassed by this conversation.

she waved goodbye and walked out of the room quietly.

i carefully tried to lift ethan's head off my lap so i could go to my room.

his grip on my waist only tightened.

"emmuh, where you goin?" he mumbled, his voice deep and hoarse.

"my room." i whispered and tried to break free.

"no. stay." he pleaded. his eyes were still shut. his fucking voice was so deep. it was impacting my decision making skills.

"ethan." i chided while giggling.

"cmon. five more minutes."

i huffed and agreed.

five more minutes turned into ten minutes. an hour later, my eyes peeled open to be greeted with ethan's chest. i nuzzled closer to him, trying to stay warm in the air conditioned room.

he traced patterns on my back and kissed the top of my head.

"good morning." he rasped.

i giggled and sighed.

"hi." i simply said.

"so, chamberlain. are you doing anything today?" ethan asked.
