Say Your Line

Chapter 13

Emma blushed when she felt his hot body flushed against her backside. His arm was heavy around her waist and it was a reminder of how bold she had gotten yesterday.

By the time they finished packing it was 12 in the morning. He was going to head out when Emma suggested that he stay. Ethan was going to come back anyways in 5 hours so there was no point in driving all the way to his apartment only to drive back.

He graciously accepted her invitation and asked if she was sure. "I wouldn't have asked if I didn't mean it." She said. She looked him up and down, "Do you need anything to change into? I can look around, my dad might have left some clothes from the last time he visited."

"It's alright I have a spare change of clothes in my car for emergency's, and I can have Courtney drop off my luggage in the morning." Ethan said. Luckily he packed before he came to set up Emma's surprise, so Courtney won't have to waste time scrounging around his drawers to pack his bag.

"That poor girl, you never let her rest. You're such a demanding boss." Emma teased.

"Hey! She doesn't come cheap, you know. I pay her more than most assistants get because I'm self aware of that thank you very much."

Emma rolled her eyes, "I wouldn't put it past you to call her at 3 in the morning to bring you toilet paper."

"It was one time!" Ethan said defensively before he and Emma lost themselves in a fit of giggles. "I'll be back in a few." Ethan said. "You sure you don't want to change your mind."

Emma blushed, "For the last time, yes I'm sure. You ask me that one more time and I'll lock you out." Emma threatened and pushed him out the door.

Emma got nervous butterflies knowing that he was going to spend the night. Her initial confidence faded once she realized that for the first time in her life a man was staying the night in her apartment. It was different from last time. Last time it was an accident when she fell asleep at his place while this time she was fully aware of his hot presence close by. Not that anything was going to happen or had to happen, but it was terrifyingly new and exciting. Basically like every other time she spent time with him.

There was a small part inside of her that wanted something to happen. The yearning in her chest had gotten bigger each day and after how many times he has openly expressed his love it made her consider it even more. The most they've done was briefly kiss now and then, but she felt ready to take the next step...

When Ethan came back to her apartment he was the perfect gentleman. His plan was to take the couch, but one thing led to another and he was pulled onto Emma's bed.

"Hey." He softly murmured. His loving eyes piercing into hers.

"Hey." Emma said coyly. Her gaze falling from his eyes and onto his lips. She subconsciously wet her own when he continued to talk. Raising her finger up to his mouth she shut him up by pressing it against his lips. "Can I try something?" Emma nervously whispered.

"Emma." He said when she began to lean in.

"Please." She whimpered, "Before I chicken out." Ethan nodded his consent and Emma's rosy lips touched his, but she didn't stop there.

Her face turned pink and she shivered as she recalled how close they had gotten last night. How soft sighs escaped her lips as he trailed kisses up her neck. She could still feel the weight of his body on top of her while they made out like touch depraved teenagers.

Ethan shifted beside her and mumbled a quick 'morning'. He removed his arm, leaving her waist cold in his absence. He rubbed his eyes as they adjusted to the light shining through the blinds.

"What time is it?" Ethan asked.

"5:10, we still have some time before the alarm rings." Emma said.

Ethan smirked, "All the things we can do while we wait."

She tossed him a pillow.

"Ouch, I was talking about breakfast what the heck were you thinking you naughty fiend."

OoOoOoO

"Emma." Ethan groaned, "How much sunscreen do we need? We have 2 bottles in our luggage."

"You bought the wrong one Ethan." Emma said as she continued to browse through the selection the Hawaii airport store had.

"How do you buy the wrong sunscreen." Ethan asked in disbelief.

"You can't just use any sunscreen here it has to be environmentally friendly." Emma adorably cocked her head to the side, "Well, 100% reef friendly to be exact." Emma said.

Ethan raised his eyebrow, " And who's going to tell on us, the turtles?"

Emma playfully shoved him, "Shut up."

Ethan shrugged,"Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

"How long will the car rental take?" Emma asked.

"Not long, they should be calling in a few minutes or so. Enough time for you to finish shopping."

"So... what did you get?" Emma asked.

He smirked, " For the last time it's a surprise. Nice try though."

Emma groaned in frustration, "You and your surprises."

OoOoOo

"You're so corny." Emma said as she admired the blue jeep in front of them.

"I could go back and ask for the classic Volkswagen Microbus." Ethan said in a sing-song voice that promised how corny he could get.

"I never said I didn't like it." Emma said. "Shall we?"

Ethan opened the door and dramatically bowed, "After you."

The trip wasn't long to the hotel resort they would be staying in and even if it was she wouldn't have cared. The scenic view was too beautiful, everything was green and vibrant here.The car eventually came to a stop and Ethan carried their luggage up to the room.

"Wow you really thought of everything." Emma complimented Ethan as she checked out their hotel room. He had gotten them joint rooms which was sweet that he didn't assume that they would share a bed.

" I can't poop with someone else in my room." Ethan said, "AND i thought you might want some privacy." He teasingly added.

"Wow, and here I thought you were actually being chivalrous." Emma said.

Ethan laughed,"I'm gonna go unpack, holler at me if you need anything."

"While you do that, I'm going to be ordering room service. Do you want anything?" Emma asked.

"Surprise me." Ethan said.

They stared at each other and Ethan bolted the second Emma reached for her shoe. "I thought we agreed in the car that we weren't using that word anymore." She yelled after him. Ethan laughed and covered his ass with his hands as she chased after him.

AN: filler chapter, but i feel like we don't see enough cute scenes between them so its okay ;)
