Put song on repeat

       I walked into Ethan's office, not bothering to knock because it was normal for me to barge in. He hated it but I didn't really care, "morning" he mumbles, looking up at me with tired eyes. I hand him his piping hot coffee and he sips on it quickly.

        "Long night?" I ask, sitting down in the white plush chair and crossing one leg over the other, sipping on my cappuccino. "Xavier would not go to sleep, no matter what" he explained, running his hand through his messy hair. "By the time I got him to sleep for good it was like four AM" he shakes his head, sighing stressfully.

        "I'm sorry. Maybe you could call a sitter to stay with him and come sleep over at my place" I suggest with a shrug. "That's not a bad idea, actually" he murmurs, considering the offer. "I mean what's better than Netflix, head, and a good nights rest?" I ask with innocent eyes.

          He smirks, "Yeah I'm definitely gonna do that" he agreed making me chuckle. I take a deep breath, cleansing my mind really quick before I started my day off. "We could order some Chinese too" I suggest and he nods, "sounds like a date" he smiles and I nod, smiling back at him.

          I stand and lick my lips, "well I'm sure I have piles of paperwork to file so I'll catch you at lunch" I wave, walking out of his office and into mine. I turned on my light and set down my keys and coffee, starting up my monitors and skimming through the files Ethan had placed out for me.

           I arrived home safely, the sun fully setting as I unlock my front door and enter the dark apartment, turning on a few lights and getting settled. Ethan had texted me a few minutes before that he was on his way so I went ahead and placed an order for Chinese, getting him some veggie Lo Mein. It was simple and it would take a demon to hate it.

           I changed my clothes and decided on some shorts and Ethan's red shirt he gave me. Even though he was coming over in a matter of minutes I still felt so safe in it. Speaking of, three loud knocks erupted from the foyer which I quickly sped walked to, opening the door and seeing Ethan standing all tall and happy.

            "Come in" I open the door wider, stepping aside to let Ethan in. He looked around curiously, he'd only been here once before and it definitely wasn't for long. "Nice place" he mumbles, I wanted to roll my eyes at the lie, he lived in a mansion, there was no way he actually thought my small ass apartment was nice.

           "Thanks" I mumble back, "um, Chinese should be here soon" I mention and he nods, looking me up and down with a smile. "I have to do something" He tells me, my eyes brows furrowing as he steps towards me.

             His hands meet on either side of my waist, leaning his head down and kissing me passionately and sweetly. I close my eyes and hum at the feeling, it was a euphoric kiss that sent fireworks shooting down my spine. I wrap my arms around his neck, continuing the slow kiss that was very much needed.

              "Mm, much better" he whispers, pulling his head back from mine making me smile. "You look beautiful in my shirt, by the way" he compliments making me blush. "Thanks" I mumble, heat rushing over my face.

              "So what are we watching on Netflix?" He asks, stepping away from me and plopping himself down on my couch. I shrug and pick up the remote, sitting next to him. "Well I was thinking of watching the new Ted Bundy movie with Zac Efron." I suggest and he looks at me with raised brows.

                "You want to watch a movie about a serial killer?" He asks and I nod slowly, "I'll watch anything with Zac in it" I shrug and he laughs, looking back at the screen as I pull up the movie.
