What We Are - N.H

Forty Seven

ETHAN'S P.O.V
I stepped back from hugging her, not quite sure how she would take it, "I know that neither of us were expecting any of this to happen, and I know that we are both in relationships, but I just want you to know that I have changed. I'm a different man, I'm a different human." Complete rubbish was coming from my mouth, but she was too naive to know I was lying, she wasn't making any movements, she was just staring straight at my face, kinda creeping me a bit. Her piercing green eyes, burning through my face.

"I know what I did was completely disgusting and outrageous, and I understand that you will never forgive me, I just want you to know that I will never forgive myself. I just hope that this won't ruin yours and Freya's friendship." I said, not meaning any of it, her face stayed black. She just looked me up and down, there was no anger in her face, no expression, it was just blank. I was worried she wasnt taking it, that she could see through the lies.

Slowly she took a step forward, leaned towards me and wrapped her arms around my back, squeezing me tight. Wow, I've missed her warm embrace so much. I guess I really did love her, and still do, but love is so complicated. You think its going to work out and then everything comes crashing down on you or something gets in your way. I never wanted to hurt her, but it felt so good the first time, I just couldn't stop myself.

"We should hang out" I said and kind of laughed awkwardly, trying to cover my pleasure.
"Yeah that would be cool" she said, as we started to walk back into the shop to meet the girls, for the first time in forever, my heart danced and I could feel butterflies in my tummy, talk about being given a second chance. but she really doesn't know what shes in for, bless her poor innocent heart.

"Sorry about that" I strung my arm carelessly around Freya's neck and quickly kissed her cheek. Rubbing the kiss from my lips, I got a suspicious stare from Katrina, but I managed to style it out as if I was itching my cheek.

The thing is I cant stand Freya anymore. At first when I saw her, I thought that she'd be an amazing next victim, she looked gorgeous and I knew I had to make her mine. She was to easy to get though, almost like she was expecting it. After a few weeks I realized she wasn't very good in bed, way to aggressive for me. I swear that girl wanted it more than I did. I never expected her to know Mabel or have any connection with her, but when she showed me the picture of her and her old friends, being the girls, I couldn't help but get exited when I saw the striking smile and glimmering eyes I had missed for so long. I knew I had to get her back and it was so much easier than I had expected. I know Freya loves me, but I really don't care, shes just another prop for my big show.

My plan was working perfectly.
Step 1: Get Mabel to like me again. Already completed, a lot easier than I had expected thankfully. I just hope I can keep the act up before my lust takes over me.

Unfortunately, I knew step 2 wasn't going to be as easy. I had to get her to come back to my house without her boyfriend knowing. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to manage it, but I think it will be just about possible.

Jeez it was so cold. I really should have brought a bigger coat. If I was choosing where to eat it would have been Five Guys. Quick, easy and INDOORS, but no, its obviously up to them because their bloody One Direction, who just so happen to be one of the biggest boy bands ever.

I remember Niall from school, a real charmer, always taking my girls from me. I knew him and Mabel used to go out, but I never knew they still were. I can already tell that they are very far 'up each others arses' to even recognize whats going on in the real world and not their little game. To be honest, I bet he won't even remember me, I was expelled quite soon after he joined the school, and started acting like he owned the place.
