"Pass your phone." I ask Ethan while gobbling down a fry.

"Why?" He asked, confused. Probably thinking that I wanted to check if he was cheating on me.

I bend towards his lap and pull out the phone, "Mine has run out of juice."

"You know, what you just did and said sound so wrong."

I gave a thoughtful look at him and grabbed his burito.

"Hey!" He tried to grab his burito back but I bit it in before he could.

"Hmm," I chew on the burito as I search his history on Quora. "Let's see."

"You seriously asked Quora ONE question?!" I show him the screen, "That too- How to keep a girl?" I dictate in his own tone.

"Give me my phone back." He snatches the phone from my hand.

"You seriously trusted Quora over ME?" I fold my arms around and turn my face away from him.

"Ida... I'm sorry..." His voice was a mere whisper and he looked back down.

"I accept your apology." The kid was pouting. I couldn't help but laugh at him.

Whenever he pouts he looks so much like Lee.

After finishing dinner we decide to go back home.

"Wait, wait! Get off." I tell Ethan to get off the bike.

"Why?" He asks but gets off.

I sit on the driver seat and he looks at me stunned.

"You seem very active today." He sits behind me. "Come on drive." Ethan laughs knowing that I had no idea how to.

"Teach me." I say.

"Okay." He puts both his hands on mine and our bodies were pulled closer.

"Pull this to move forward and release to slow. You know how to ride a cycle right?" I nod, "Then you'll be able to learn faster. All you have to do is balance and keep your feet down when you stop." I try placing my feet down but it didn't reach.

"Don't laugh at me, but mine don't reach."

"I know, so I'll do it for you."

I look behind to find that all this time the bike wasn't standing because of my legs, but because of his.

"Slowly pull." He pulls my hand and the bike goes forward slowly.

"I think I got this." I breath in as he releases his hand from over me, but my breath hitches when he places it around my waist.

"Steady." He calms me down.

I bite my lips and try to forget about the touch.

Riding a bike was very easy. Just like a cycle with more weight.

"You did good." Ethan complimented as we entered the Inn.

"No ones home?" I check around the place to find pin drop silence.

We both head up stairs to our room.

I open the door and a blaring noise filled the room. Coloured paper fell from all round.

Happy Birthday Ethan!

It read on the wall.

I gasp, "It's your birthday?!"

"Yea..." he scratches his neck. "This must be Maia. She always remembers everyones birthday. Didn't know she would remember mine too."

"YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHINGG!!" I said in panick.
