i think i love you. ethma

ch. three

*i changed the name of this book but it's still the same :))*

we arrive at ethan's house.
he walks me to his bedroom when i remember that i don't have clothes
"e?"
"yes em"
"i don't have anything to change in to" i say
"oh it's okay i'll give you something of mine to wear"
he hands me a light pink champion hoodie and grey sweatpants. i go into his bathroom to change. i come out and walk into ethan's room. he's just sitting on his bed but i cant help notice how damn cute he is.

"i like you in my clothes" ethan suddenly says.

i feel myself starting to blush when he pulls me into his bed wrapping himself completely around me. we lay like that for sometime. ethan's arms wrapped around my lower body and me playing with his hair. i cant believe i caught feelings for the boy that i thought hated me.

i wake up and i look around the room forgetting where i was. then i look next to me and see a sleeping ethan and all the memories of the night before come flooding back to me. i smile to myself just thinking about them.

i try to get out of ethan's bed without waking him up but i did a shit job because i hear him say,
"em where are you going"
"well i have to go home sometime dolan. my moms gonna kill me"
he jumps out of bed
"you don't have a car so i'll drive you"
"thanks e"
"no problem em"

we walk into his car and he takes ahold of my hand. and i cant help but wonder if we're more than friends. it's almost as if ethan read my mind because he then blurts out.

"emma what are we?"
"what do you mean?"
"i really like you. not just in a friend way. and i totally get if you don't like me back i just want-"
"ETHAN" i scream interrupting his long ass rant
"i like you and just not in a friend way too"

he squeezes my hand as a sign of happiness and i'm smiling my ass off. ethan fucking dolan likes me. this is crazy. i cant even believe this.

he pulls in to my drive way. and i told him not to but he insisted on walking me to my front door.

"bye emma" he says staring into my eyes
"goodbye ethan" i say staring into his beautiful eyes
he grabs my chin and waist and pulls me in for a kiss. we kiss for what seems like minutes until i finally pull away out of breath.

"text me later e"

ethan nods and gives me a quick peck on the lips and a tight hug before climbing into his car and driving away.
i run to my room still pondering over the night i just had.

"i have to tell the girls" i say out loud to myself

i text amanda and olivia and tell them to come over asap

like and hour later both amanda and olivia arrive at my house and i spill everything. when i'm done telling them everything they just stare at me for a couple seconds not believing what had happened between me and ethan in such a short period of time.

"wait wait wait... you're telling me that ethan fucking dolan. like the one you haven't talked to since the eighth grade likes you???" says olivia
"i mean i think. i hope"

after that me and the girls continue talking spilling the tea on everyone. soon after that they had to go because they had to do something but i cant really recall what they said.

i hear a *ding* and look down at my phone
it was a text from ethan

ethan: hey em are you busy

me: nope i'm doing absolutely
nothing :((

ethan: lmao
ethan: be ready in 10 minutes

me: um what

ethan: just be ready in 10 minutes chambie

me: okay fine

damn it what am i gonna wear.
i dig through my closet until i find something somewhat presentable to wear
a black cropped tank top with my red cargo pants and obviously my doc martens.

ethan texted me again telling me he was here so i head out the door, i almost run into ethan who's standing directly outside my front door like a psycho.

"ethan what the fuck" i say laughing at what just happened.
"well isn't this how dates work. i pick you up at your doorstep?"
fuck this is a date? i feel my palms start to sweat and my heart begin to race.

he holds my hand as we walk to the car he gives me a peck on the lips as he opens my door for me. what a gentleman.

ethan takes me to this secluded place and it feels like i'm in the woods. its beautiful. there's hundreds of trees and wildflowers everywhere. there's a lake and the sunset is reflecting beautifully off the water.

ethan grabs both of my hands turns my face towards his and says these words
"emma frances chamberlain... will you be my girlfriend??"

it takes me a minute to process everything that's happened thus far. everything that's led up to this point. but i cant help but think we've been moving way to fast. but ethan and i's situation isn't like everyone else's. we didn't have to get to know each other. we know all there is to know about one another, the only thing we needed to do was become aware of our newfound feelings.

i realize that i had been staring off into space and quickly snap back into reality, answering ethan with a simple, yet effective,
"absolutely"

ethan smiles bigger than i've ever seen him smile before and that causes me to smile at how adorable he's being.

me and ethan sit on the hood of his car hand in hand watching the sun fall. and i couldn't be happier, i was on cloud nine. i have the perfect boyfriend. but of course my anxiety couldn't let me have a moment to enjoy the new bliss in my life. it had me questioning things like why ethan was talking to me or why he would even like me in the first place. i tried to shake those thoughts out of my head. after all i'm happy. after all these years i thought i hated him. turns out it's the opposite. how had i not noticed. it's not like i know him inside and out and vice versa. we've known each other since birth and were best friends at some point, and i never realized i love him.

"you love me?"
shit shit shit i said that out loud. fuck.
"um yea. i think i love you" i really hope my heart wasn't about to be crushed with the answer he gives me
"emma?"
"yes ethan?"
"i think i love you too, actually i think i've loved you for years."
"i've loved you for years too" i say back to him. "we were just to fucking stupid to realize it" i say as ethan burst into laughter. i simply smile at him. thinking about the perfect day i just had with my new boyfriend.
