Falling For Ethan (Ethan x reader)

chapter 6

"nonono! It's not what i looks like, i swear". The person whom i assume is mark the lawyer had started to walk away, but as soon as i spoke he halted. 

I try  to push Ethan off of me, which makes things worse for us. i fall down on the kitchen floor and while I'm at it, i trip Ethan making him fall on top of me. he puts his arms on either side  of my face. Mark comes over to us to see what's wrong  but regrets his decision as soon as he sees us.

"I can comeback later" he says teasing us  my face couldn't have been more red than it is now 

"No need i can assure you that nothing is happening here" this time Ethan says as he gets up

 he offers me his hand  to help me up but with everything that happened and my pride i refuse to take it. i stand  up by myself, and dust my ass it still hurts from the impact it took when i fell down

Mark places the sushi onto the table, and we start eating while discussing the contract. It's a pretty average contract  with generous payment. i don't think much to it  and i end up signing it. Ethan goes and takes a bathroom break leaving me a and mark alone in the kitchen enjoying our food. 

Mark's deep voice suddenly speaks up "this is a rare sight"

"Why's that?" i ask him

"I haven't seen Ethan enjoying himself so much in a long time" his voice trails off and i can see that mark is in deep thought

"well I'm happy" i say trying to express my feeling

"how long have you and Ethan known each other?" i ask him wanting to know more about their friendship

"Oh ever since Ethan moved here, i used to work for his father before and at the time i was around a lot and I spent a lot of time with Ethan, his dad was always busy, so he would get a bit late to our meeting so i would talk to Ethan to pass the time... we ended up becoming friends. Now Ethan doesn't get any other lawyer than me doesn't matter scandal he gets into is".

"That's nice... that you both kept each other company" i say our conversation is cut short when Ethan returns from the bathroom

"What are you guys talking about?" Ethan asks. 

 I was about to reply but mark interrupts "nothing, just gibberish"

I see Ethan squinting his eyes at mark suspiciously, but he lets it go, and we continue  joking around and eating our meal 

the rest of the night is quite please and like all the good thing it has to come to an end

"hey sorry guys its getting late its better if i go back to the dorms" i say pouting  I'm ready to call an Uber but Ethan stops me 

"let me drive you home" he says

I don't know if i feel that comfortable i mean even if he wants to do it I still don't feel comfortable with the idea of having him drive me every time we're going to meet. 

"Ethan i can go home alone i don't feel comfortable always going with you its almost like I'm using you" i say

"I don't mind Y/n" i want to bring you home it's not a problem at all for me

"at least let me owe you a favour or something" i say "I'll feel more comfortable this way"

"ok if that is what it takes for me to bring you home I guess I can accept it" I smile 

"Bye Mark!" i say as i head to Ethan car "pleasure meeting you" mark says with his charming and deep voice

the ride is quiet, neither of us speak probably because were both tired from today's events, a soft calming melody plays on the radio perfect for a lat night drive while we're leaving the house i make sure to look out of the  cars window  and yes its as beautiful as I imagined it to be, the night sky sparkles as the stars twinkle 

Twinkle I recall that's what he used to call me was it maybe because of my fondness of stars or maybe some other reason? I don't know.

I arrive at my dorm and say goodbye to Ethan "I'll give you your clothes back next time we meet or I'll keep them forever I'll see in what mood I'm in I say jokingly". 

"You can keep them" he says and winks "this way you won't miss me so much" his remark leaves me flustered.

He drives off and i go inside. i unlock the door and before i can grab the handle the door swings open "Y/NNN!" Amelie screams and hugs me. she drags me inside the house and basically throws me on the couch. 

"HOW WAS IT" he says wide-eyed making her look like a crazy person which she kindly is 

"I signed the contract" i say and with that she tackles mes her head pressed against my chest "you know what that means??" she asks with her huge green eyes sparkling in excitement "no..." i say just to kid with her and  before i know it she lets go of me and runs to the kitchen to get  the champagne and two glasses"  she pops open the bottle and pours in the glasses  and gives one to me. 

"cheers!" she says out loud, and we both take a sip as soon as she gulps it down she finishes her sentence "to true love" i playfully punch her shoulder 

"what? he doesn't see me that way he only talks to me because of my brother and now also because I'm working for him" i say. 

"but you love him" she says teasing  "what?" i say my face suddenly flushing 

"no i don't i try to cover it up" the rest of the night is just us acting like crazy weirdos  at 5 a.m. i go to sleep which was a pretty bad life choice since i had classes tomorrow.

AAAAA after a long time procrastinating I've finally finished this chapter
