You sat on the couch that was placed near a window, slowly sipping on the hot beverage in your cup, as you admired the beautiful sunset. You have always loved watching sunset. For you sunset was a escape from the reality. The way sun would slowly disappear in clouds, painting the sky with vibrant colour, soothed you from inside.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Your bestfriend Ethan breaks the silence as he sits on the loveseat in front of you. He slowly keeps the cup of coffee on the side table and looks outside. "Yeah beautiful" you said admiring his side profile.
"So what did you wanted to talk about?" He asked looking at you with those hazel eyes which looked beautiful in the sunlight. You quickly look down at the cup in your hands, as heat rushed to your cheeks. A single eye contact was enough to make you nervous around him, make you feel the butterflies swarming in your stomach, make you feel the heat rushing to your cheeks. It was a wrong feeling, but oh so lovely.
"I- i just wanted to tell you something regarding Matthew" you mumbled the last words. As soon as your boyfriend's name left your lips, Ethan posture changed. His jaw clicked, one of his perfect eyebrow raised and his hand were clenched into fist which didn't go un-noticed by you.
"What about him?" He said, his voice was now stern. His name was enough to make him feel agitated.
"He thinks that we have something going on" you said. Trying not to look at him. There was silence. Complete silence. Unfortunately it wasn't comfortable as it was before.
"What do you mean?" Ethan said looking at you. He knew you were nervous by the way you were fidgeting with your fingers. "He thinks that I am cheating on him wi-with you" you added.
"So let me guess what, he wants you to stay away from me right" he said letting out a breathy laugh. Ethan didn't like him. He never did, but kept his mouth shut for the sake of your happiness, until now. The truth has to be spoken even though that might hurt your feelings.
You looked down, signifying that it was true. "God Y/n, why don't you see that he is clearly controlling you" he said standing up. "How can someone be so blind? He literally decides who you should be friends with, what you should be doing for fun, who should you hang out with. Not only that, he doesn't even allow you to go outside without him attached to your hip. It's not healthy Y/n. Even after so restrictions he is the one thinking you are cheating on him." He ranted running his through his hair.
Tears were brimming in your eyes. You were out of words. You didn't know either you should be sad that it was true or disappointed that you let these things happen and didn't stood up for yourself.
Ethan kneels in front of you. "I am sorry Y/n" he said, his voice was soft now. "This isn't your fault E" you muttered.
Ethan places his hand on your cheek, making you look at him. His touch send tingles all over your body. You didn't felt anything like this with Matthew.
Ethan slowly rubs his thumb on your cheek to wipe the tears from your eyes. Butterflies were exploding in your stomach. A simple touch from him was enough to make you feel some type of way.
You look into his amber eyes, slowly getting lost in them. It was reminded you of forest, green trees surrounding you, with sunlight scattering due to leaves. It was beautiful.
You didn't even realise that you both were leaning in. You slowly close your eyes, as you felt his plump lips on yours. The kiss was slow but full of passion. Goosebumps rises on your skin. Butterflies were swirling in your stomach. Your mind went blank, as if there weren't a single problem in your life. You forgot about everything around you. The only things you focused on were only him and his soft lips on yours and how they moved in sync.
He slowly pulls away, and presses his forehead against you. "I have been waiting for so long to do that" he says looking into your eyes. "Same" you mumbled. "I love you" he confessed making your heart skip a beat. "I love you too" you said.
