Ethan's POV

"My head!"I pressed my forehead.
Why am I on couch?
How am I on couch?

I scanned the surrounding,
I am Home?

How many drinks I had last night?

I got up and went to my room.

I lied on my bed.
Last night was coming in blur to me.

Wait...
How did I got home?
Jackson?

I took out my phone, there were missed calls from Jackson and Jace.

I called Jackson.

"Dude! where are you?" He yelled which made me pull back my phone from ear.

"I am home. Wait..that means you wasn't the one who got me home?" I was confused.

"No! That's why I was worried. How did you get home?" He asked with concern.

I walked to my window.
My Car?
Where's it?

'sit tight okay'

Wait..
Was she the one who got me home?

"Scarlett"

"Scarlett?" Jackson asked.

I forgot that he was still on the call.

"Yeah!Scarlett " I replied.

"Scarlett Rose?" He sounded confused.

"Yes Jackson. She got me home." I ran my hands through my hair.

"God! I Just hope I didn't said something stupid."

Jackson chuckled.

"Atleast somebody got lucky with your car." He chuckled again.

Oh my fucking God!
She has my Car.

"Shut up Davis, I'll talk to you later." I end the call.

I walked toward the bedroom door.
I was smelling gross.
Better to take bath first.

Scarlett's POV.

"Mom! do you need more syrup?" I yelled from kitchen.

"No! it's fine."mom yelled back.

How weekends were use to be disaster and now it's the most peaceful days.

"So what's your plan for today?" Mom asked.

"Umm..Netflix and sleep."I grinned.

"I have some meetings, so I'll be late for the dinner."

"Okay "

"Whose car is it in driveway?" She asked.

Fuck!how could I forgot?

"Friend's " I said looking at my pancakes.

"Okay,I gotta go now. Clean it before going to your room okay? Love you." She placed a kiss on my head before leaving.

"Yeah mom. Love you too " I smiled.

------*-----

I did the cleaning and got back to my room.

I caught a sight of car keys lying on my study table.

He was so adorable last night.
I chuckled to myself.

I lied on my bed and checked my phone.

Text from Edwin and Hannah.

Edwin:
I hope your answer is still yes.

I blushed.

Me:
Yes It is. :D

Edwin:
So tomorrow it is. I'll pick you up at 6:00pm. :)

Me:
Okay :) :)

------*-----

I called Hannah.

"Where did you went last night? You know I was worried!" She yelled.

"I am so sorry Hannah, I should have texted you but my phone got dead and-"

"It's okay. But next time it won't be okay if you disappear like that. Got that?"

"Okay mommy" I chuckled.

She laughed too.

"Hannah.. I need you to go shopping with me."

"Shopping?"

"Umm..yeah. Edwin asked me on a date and it's tomorrow and I am kind of running out of clothes ."

"That son of a bitch!" I can imagine her rolling her eyes.

"Okay! We'll go shopping." She squealed.

" I'll pick you up at 4."

'Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby, I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no'

"Be the girl for a month
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no...." I sang along Taylor Swift and got ready for shopping.

I wore my denim shorts paired with olive green t-shirt and white Converse .

"Coming!" I yelled from my room as I heard doorbell.

I took my phone and went downstairs.

"Sorry I was getting ready-" I said opening the door.

"Oh-um- Hey? " He smiled nervously.

Ethan.

"Oh—hey " I smiled nervously.

I didn't expected to see him.
Okay, maybe I did expected , afterall I have his precious car.

And let me tell one thing, his car is seriously well maintained and smooth.

Finally I got my chance to drive it.

We stand there in silence for a while, staring into each other's eyes.

Making things more awkward.

He cleared his throat and brought me back from my thoughts.

"My keys?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Oh-umm—yeah, wait I'll bring."

I went upstairs and brought his keys.

He was checking his phone.

"Um— your keys."I handed over his keys.

"thanks"He said.

The way he look into my eyes,
we became this known strangers.

We don't have anything to talk about but still both of us have a lot of questions for each other.
