Let Yourself Fall // sequel to My Ethan Karpathy

Chapter 49.

PAISLEYS POV:

I have absolutely no regret about what we just did. We used protection and it was full of love, not lust. It's just great to be back with Ethan again, and to know that we have yet another bond connecting us. He has my virginity and I have his, just the way we always said we wanted. We are both lying there, only half clothed again. I'm wearing a pair of shorts and my bra, and Ethan's just wearing a pair of shorts. The rest of the clothes are still spread out over the floor. I'm laying beside Ethan, wrapped up in his arms again. I missed this so much.

We hear voices and footsteps coming up the stairs.

"I wonder if she came here?" I hear what I think is Jai say.

"I don't know, the door was unlocked. We can check." I hear who I know is Brai say. I can't hear too many footsteps, so I'm guessing grace and Chris have gone somewhere else.

"Do you reckon he found her?" Jai asks.

"Mm, I dunno. I hope so." Brai replies, the footsteps getting lighter so I know they're at the top of the stairs. I sense Ethan's smirk on his face as he tightens his arms around me. We are both just laying there, both facing the wall so they might not be able to see me if they come to the door.

Ethan pulls up the sheet over us at the last minute. I'll have to thank him for that later. I hear a gasp as the footsteps stop just outside the door. I'm assuming they think Ethan has just cut himself again since he's laying in bed, shirtless with a sheet over him. I hear them run over to the bed and I hear another gasp, but this time it's a happy one.

"We know you're not asleep." Brai laughs. I hear some whispering and some laughing and then they both jump on top of us. Ethan tries to keep the sheet up over us so they don't catch on to anything, but it's not working. I turn over really quickly so I'm pressed up against Ethan. If the sheets get ripped off, at least they won't see much.

"Hang on a second.. Are you? Did you?" Jai says, stopping suddenly. He stops and looks at me for a second then a big, cheeky smile lights up his face, making me smile too. He holds out his fist and Ethan fist pumps him with a big smile on his face too.

"Guys, they had make up sex!" Jai yells. Wait, what?!

We hear a heap more heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and two more people burst into the room. I didn't think Chris and Grace were here. Ethan smirks as he pulls the sheet right over our heads. He's incredibly strong, holding the sheet up with three other boys trying to pull it down. Eventually, Ethan gives up and flips me so I'm facing down on the bed. I feel a sudden burst of cold on my back as the sheet is ripped off completely and dropped on the floor. Ethan's arms somehow find themselves around me, keeping me warm.

"Guys, do you mind?" Ethan asks cheekily, making me smile into the pillow.

"We're just excited that our little Etho baby has all grown up." Jai teases through small laughs.

"Yeah, we always thought you'd be the last of us." Chris adds. I can literally sense his smirk.

"But we always knew Paisley would be the first of us girls." grace adds.

"Well, she is the most attractive." Ethan says, kissing my shoulder.

"I beg to differ." Chris announces, acting hurt. I hear the sound of Chris kissing Grace on the cheek.

"This is depressingly cute. So, is everything okay now?" Brai asks.

"Better than okay." I say, turning my head sideways.

"Can we go to the beach tonight?" Jai asks.

"Yeah, sure."

"Where's Cat?" I ask. I want to fill her in on all the details.

"She had to go out. Family stuff, she won't be here tomorrow either." Brai shrugs.

"Oh well, let's go to the beach." I announce. Everything silent until Jai finally works it out.

"Right, guys. Let's let them get changed" Jai says quickly, nodding at Ethan before shoving everyone out the room. Jai closes the door behind him and I slowly sit up.

"Did I tell you that you look gorgeous naked?" Ethan flirts.

"And so do you." I reply, pecking him on the lips.

I stand up and run to the door, checking left and right before I run into my own room. It feels so good to have my own clothes back again. I make a mental note to thank Grace later. I suddenly realise that Grace won't have anything to wear to the beach, so I quickly put on the first bikini I see which is a blue and white striped one, then chuck on my denim shorts and an over the shoulder tee which ends just above my belly button. I run out my room and down the stairs, grab Grace by the arm, dragging her away from Chris and up the stairs. On the way up the stairs, Grace gets in front of me as we pass Ethan. Ethan lightly slaps my ass so I turn around and he's got this crazy smirk on his face. I turn back around and follow Grace to my room, smiling like an idiot. When we are both inside, I shut the door and walk over to my wardrobe. I open up my bathers drawer and pull out a pile of bikinis. I don't even know why I have so many, I guess every time I see one I like, I just get it. I also get free clothes from photo shoots sometimes.

"Pick one."

"What was it like?" She asks, sorting through the bikinis.

"Painful, but good." I reply, not really wanting to go into details.

"Just good?" She asks, finding a cute blue bikini and searching for the bottoms.

"It was gentle, and beautiful and perfect and I love him so much." I rush, spotting the bikini bottom and handing it to her with the biggest smile on my face.

"Sounds amazing. Did you plan it, or did it just.. Happen?"

"Why are you so interested?" I tease.

"Chris and I have been talking about it, but we want to wait until he's sixteen." Grace admits. I walk over to the cupboard and throw her another pair of my denim shorts and a blue cut out shoulder shirt.

"Well, I'm sure you'll know when the time is right." I smile, walking out the room to let her get changed.

I stand against the wall as the boys all come racing up the stairs. Ethan spots me and tells the boys to go pick whatever they want to wear. Ethan has so many pairs of boardies its not even funny. He has light ones, dark ones, floral ones, neon ones, short ones, long ones, Christmas ones. You name it, he's got it.

"Baby, I'll pay you ten bucks to put more clothes on." he says quietly, walking up to me and resting his chin in the crook of my neck.

"But why? I thought you'd like this." I pout, letting him plant small kisses along my neck.

"That's the problem; I like it a little too much, and you greatly over estimate my self control." he whispers, placing his hands on my hips.

"Self control? You didn't seem to be worried about that a few minutes ago." I tease, tugging on the hem of his shirt.

"Yeah, but no one would've caught us then. Now there's a house full of immature teenagers who would bust us in a second." he replies as I wrap my arms around him and rest my head against his shoulder.

"Go get ready." I whisper and pull away. Ethan gives my neck one last kiss before he turns around and disappears into his room. About twenty minutes later, we are all standing at the door, ready to go. Everyone bought their phones so they could listen to music on the way since we were walking. Everyone files out the door, but Ethan and I stay behind to lock it.

"You okay?" Ethan asks as everyone is walking down the driveway.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I reply, locking the door and following the others. I don't know how it's possible to feel both happy and sad at the same time, that's what I'm trying to work out. I'm so happy that I'm back with Ethan, but I think I'll always have some sort of gloomy feeling in the back of my mind.
