COMMITMENT, TRUST, LIES, and HORRORS

Chapter Twelve

ETHAN'S POV

Waking up with Ashley still wrapped in my arms. I began to think, what if I started being a sweet gentleman. Maybe then will she fall in love with me, and then we can get married and have our honeymoon in China. As a matter of fact, how about I start today. Slowing getting up without waking her or the guys I hopped in the shower.

Standing in the shower, minding my business I heard a voice. "Hi baby how are you?" that voice sounded so familiar almost like I've heard it before.  "Baby I know you remember me" she said "Wait mom, is that you?" I asked almost frightened. "Yes baby it is me, do not be afraid I just came to let you know. That beautiful young lady out there, she is the one for you. Never let her go and always be faithful to her. Last but not least, treat your woman like a queen." Trying to remember the exact words she said. I jumped out of the shower in all my glory, I ran and wrote it down in my journal.

Getting back into the shower I finished taking my bath and got out to go cook breakfast. I was finishing the grits, bacon, and sausage getting ready to put on the eggs when I heard footsteps. "Wow, you cooking for us this morning? how sweet" Ashley said. "Ashley what are you talking about, I'm not cooking for yall. I'm cooking for the animals taking up space in my house."  Then all of a sudden she hit me, "ouch what was that for" I yelled.  "I ain't no animal!" she said screaming "Ashley calm down I never said you specifically."  Boy I can only imagine what she's thinking right now in her head.

After we finished eating we all got dressed and drove to school. We were about a hour and forty minutes late, but we were early enough to catch the attention of the anxious crowd as they race to their third hour classes. I never was one of those kids, and I never will be. I was always the one to either be the first to class or the last to class.

After walking into the school together, we each went our separate ways in order to get to our lockers. I pulled my composition notebook out of my locker and headed to my third hour, but not before going to talk to my side chick. Evett.

"Hey Evett, what's going on?"

"Nothing much, I've noticed you haven't been stopping by lately. What been going on?"

"Oh nothing much, I'm just broadening my circle that's all" I said.

"Well you need to stop. Cuz that little girl you been hanging out with, I don't like her" Evett said.

"Yeah, that's what I came to talk to you about. I've been hanging out with Ashley lately and I think that we could possibly take our relationship to the next level. That's why I think it would be best if we stop having out late night meetings."  Evett looked horrified "Ethan, what are you talking about were good ..."

"Evett, no we are not. You are a burden to me, you keep me from reaching my full potential. I'm sorry but it's over!"

After leaving Evett standing there trying to piece together what just happened I went to my third hour, reading.

"Hello Ethan, how nice of you to join us." said Ms.Taylor. "Yeah I know isn't it?" I said sarcastically. Not paying me any attention she shook her head and continued teaching. "Today I'm gonna give you a passage and you have thirty minutes to read the passage and answer the questions." she said as she sat the passage down in front of me. I flipped through and the story was four pages long and there were literally fifty questions. All I want to know is how in the world am I suppose to read four pages an answer fifty questions in thirty minutes. This is straight stupidity.

After I completed the test I sat there daydreaming.

"Honey I'm home!" I yelled through our beautiful two story mansion, but I got no response. So again I yelled "honey I'm home!" and all of a sudden this glorious sent hit my nose. And I followed this sent through the living room up the stairs and to our bedroom. Entering our bedroom there she was lying on our bed in black lingerie curled up on the bed. "Oh baby, you must really want some of papa tonight". Looking at me with a glistening light in her eyes she says "No, don't call me baby call me Ethan."  Wait what in the hell just happened, did she just say call me Ethan? 

"Ethan wake up" she yelled in my ear, opening my eyes I saw a beautiful woman with blonde curly hair standing over me. Ms. Taylor. "Ethan class is over, you can go now" she said almost in a whisper. Grabbing my bag I told her sorry and walked out of the classroom.

At lunch I went to sat by Ashley, with the girls. Their are times I wish the guys had my same lunch hour.

Sitting at the table surrounded by emotional unstable woman I begin to eat my lunch. "Who are you?" said one of the girls.

"A guy sitting down eating lunch, who are you?" stomping my foot under the table she gives me a look like be nice. "Fine, my name is Ethan and I'm Ashley's  boyfriend" all of the girls immediately turned to Ashley. "Guys calm down, I am not dating this maniac. He was just playing around" said ashley trying to get there shock under control.

Later that day after school the guys wanted to use our fake I.D's and go to a bar. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to I went home changed clothes ate some pie and went to bed. Goodnight my fellow dreamers.
