i think i love you. ethma

ch. two

i already knew i didn't want to be here. but i slapped on a smile for olivia and amanda, who had already made their way to the dance floor.

before i was going to do anyyyy type of dancing i needed some drinks in me.

i make my way over to the kitchen where all the drinks are sprawled across blake's island.

i grab a random bottle and pour myself a glass when someone walks into the kitchen.

"hey" the guy says

"oh um hi" i say sheepishly, i get really nervous in social situations.

"im colby, and you are?"

"i-i'm emma"

"that's a pretty name" he says walking closer to me.

"thanks i was born with it" i blurt our chuckling to myself.

colby is now standing pretty close to me and i start getting a little uncomfortable, but i don't want to come off rude, so i keep my mouth shut.

"how old are you emma?" he asks smirking at me.

"17" i say with a look of innocence.

"oh. well i'm 21, do you think you're into older guys?" he says as he presses himself against my small body.

"i- um don't feel comfor-" but before i could finish my sentence i feel someone enter the

"andrews" ethan blurts

"what the fuck do you think you're doing?"

"ethan" i say quietly.

"chill out bro i was just talking to her"

"yea while she's pushed up against the wall. man you were practically grinding on her." ethan is fuming, though i don't really know why.

"whatever. i'm leaving. you clearly weren't even worth my time anyway" he spits in my face.

"thanks ethan" i manage to say even though i'm petrified to even look at him right now.

"it was nothing" he says without making eye contact with me.

"i'm gonna get back to the party" ethan says while heading out the doors.

"yea me too" i say as i run out behind him.

someone i don't recognize yells out "WE'RE PLAYING SPIN THE BOTTLE IN HERE" me and ethan shrug at each other and follow the voice.

we see everyone sitting in a tight circle on the floor but when they see us they make a little room.

blake spins the bottle and it lands on grayson and some girl named ellie.

grayson hesitates before leaning in to kiss her. after what seemed like minutes they pull apart breathless. and ellie goes to spin the bottle. it lands on two people i don't recognize and they make out for a good minute.

the game continues. someone spins the bottle, it lands on two people, they make out. i was starting to get a little bored until all of the sudden the bottle spins and it lands on me. and then on ethan.

i look at him expecting him to just laugh and refuse. but before i can say anything ethan's lips touch mine and i jerk my head away as a reflex.

he looks up at me and he looks almost sad. he then goes to sit back down. realizing what i had done i grab his neck and pull his face close to mine. i smash my lips onto his before i could change my mind. he grabs ahold of my waist and i run my fingers through his hair. for a moment i forget there's people around us. he pulls away and my face automatically goes red remembering the people watching us.
