i think i love you. ethma

ch. twelve

emmas pov

after last night, ethan stayed over and i woke up to him playing with my hair.

"good morning gorgeous" he says in that reallyyy sexy morning voice that guys have.

i debate kissing him, realizing that i probably have bad morning breath. ew.

"you look so cute when you wake up" ethan says twirling his fingers in my hair.

"where?" i say laughing, "i look terrible when i wake up"

ethan shakes his head and reaches over to kiss me. it's a sweet, chaste kiss, nothing like the kisses the night before held.

i stare at him for a while, only for him to ask while chuckling, "why are u looking at me like that emma ?"

"just love your face. i love you, you know that right?" i say climbing on his chest to lay on it, deciding that he looks pretty comfy.

"i do know" he says, "and i love you most"

"bitchass liar", i say, "there's no way"

"hey hey hey, i've loved you all these years emma, YOU hated me, not the other way around", he says raising his eyebrows at me.

"okay maybe you have a teeny, tiny point there" i explain, and ethan laughs.

a few hours of cuddling later ethan drags me out of bed, begging to hang out our with friends. and by friends he means my girls, and grayson.

we decide to meet up at a cute little cafe so we could all just sit and talk.

ethan insists on driving, guess he doesn't trust me driving his car. that asshole.

when we get to the cafe i text amanda and oliva, letting them know we're here. and as i click graysons contact to text him as well, i spot him across the room.

"hey gray !" i say to him waving.

he gets up from his seat and walks over to us.

"hey guys" he says leaning down to hug both ethan and i.

ethan and grayson end up talking about some weird sports shit that i don't understand, until i get a text from liv saying that she and amanda are here.

they walk in and i rush over to them.

"hi babe" liv says while giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"damn long time no see" says amanda while wiggling her eyebrows.

"oh shut up i saw you a week ago" i retort, and she laughs.

we walk over to the boys and i sit down while they all greet each other.

eventually we all ordered what we wanted from the menu and fall into conversation.

i began talking to the table about a tweet i saw of the cutest kitten i had ever seen.

naturally.

as i was rambling on, i felt ethan wrap his arm around my waist pulling me towards him. he then kisses my shoulder and temple. causing me to lose my train of thought mid- sentence.

amanda and olivia widen their eyes at the sight of ethan being publicly affectionate with me, not being used to this side of us quite yet. and honestly i wasn't either. not saying that i didn't like it or anything. i just never pictured ethan as a public touchy- feely person.

actually this is getting added to a very extensive list of reasons why i love ethan so much.

i look at ethan and smile at him, scooting closer to him as i finished my kitten story.
