"Chris, come with me, we need to 'DISCUSS SOMETHING' very important," Elle announced.
Chris gave her a look that said -Have -you -lost -your -mind?Elle smiled and tried to drag Chris away. I realised that Mr Arrogant was giving a suspicious look to the spot where mine and Chris's arms were still locked with each other.Chris unlocked our hands and went away with Elle.Elle winked at me and left me and Mr arrogant alone at the spot.I bet there is no such 'something 'to discuss between Elle and Chris."So, we have met before." startling me from my thoughts with his husky voice, Mr Arrogant gave me a non-alcoholic beverage glass and grabbed one for himself from the plate carried by a passing waiter."Yeah, we have met before at the mall and during my morning jog and guess what, both of the meetings were not so nice ."The bitter truth, which was boiling in my mouth earlier, was now ready to explode over this man."There would be no such 'not so nice meeting"Sure, captain." Coward Chase happily handed me to Ethan the moment he asked no ordered him to leave the dancefloor.The music had changed to a slow one.I placed my hand on Ethan's shoulder and believe me when he placed his hand on my waist, the spark returned. My thin layer of dress couldn't hide the feel of his hand on my skin.We moved slowly with the sound of music.Our eyes never broke the contact.I wanted to ask him, why did he kiss me on my cheek but choose not to. I was too afraid to speak something stupid and break this special moment.He danced too well.Even if we didn't want to break the moment, Victoria did. She interrupted us anyway.Jealousy and guilt both engulfed me.For God's sake, he does have a girlfriend. Don't get involved with him Sky.He was completely out of my league. I tried to knock some sense into me and left them on the dancefloor.I marched towards Chris instead."We need to leave now, lets
Elle clapped, Chris whistled and I blushed at Ethan's response. I thought today my luck was not with me (or maybe I was the luckiest girl). Problem solved. Matter dismissed. Without any further argument, and Ethan went to the parking lot where his silver expensive car was parked. Boys and their toys! Like a gentleman, he opened the door for me and then went to the driver's seat. There was no driver today. It was just me and Ethan. Oh boy, I was completely impressed and mesmerized with the interior as well as the exterior of his car. Sitting in such an expensive car was a lifetime achievement for me. "What are you doing?" I asked. Ethan leaned forward. Our faces were just inches apart. Was he going to kiss me? My eyes settled on his delicious lips. KISS ME. He reached for the seatbelt to wrap it around me. Jesus Christ! Skylar, how can you be such a fool? I wanted to smack my head
I was utterly stunned by what just happened. Before I could contemplate, Ethan kissed me again with the same passion. "Just like I imagined," Ethan muttered. Before I could reply, he went to his car. I did not miss the flash of his victorious smile at my shocked expression. Ethan drove away into the thin air, leaving me stunned and confused. HE KISSED ME TWICE TONIGHT. The goosebumps on my arm and absolute shocked expression were enough evidence to prove that I was not hallucinating. I lifted my fingers and brushed them lightly across my lips. The essence of his lingering kiss was still there. I could still taste his clean minty breath on my lips. This was real. His kiss was real. Ethan Maxwell was real. Oh my God! I just kissed the hottest boy I ever met in my entire existence. My perception of him being an arrogant jerk, felt so petty. He drove me to my home. Made sure I feel saf
Gran and I chatted for a bit longer than usual. After having my late-night dinner I decided to wash the dishes before going to bed. I went to the washroom and was stunned after gazing at my reflection. My lips were a little swollen. My eyes were shining with an irrevocable brightness that I have never felt before. My heart picked up its erratic pace every time I thought about the kisses that we shared. "Get a grip, Skylar!" I whispered to no one. I shook my head and patted my cheeks a bit to compose myself and my tangled thoughts. After removing the make up I washed my face with cold water from the sink. I changed into my comfortable clothes and plopped on the bed. Tonight felt like one of the longest nights of my life. I was never the kind of girl who gets hung up just because of a kiss. Guess you can't escape from the teenage phase out of your life. Gran was so elated! Earlier she used to nag me to get a boyfriend and now. Wh
"Skylar who's there at the door?" I heard Gran question from the kitchen. Good question Gran but how do I answer that question? I saw Ethan smiling at my state of trouble. "Why are you here?" I asked. "Ouch!" Ethan feigns hurt by placing his hand on his chest, just over his heart. I rolled my eyes at his overacting but also a smile was breaking its way out on my face. "I am here to give you something." "Give me what?" "Skylar, why are you not answering my question?" Gran asked again. Jeez! Gran, why so impatient? "It's a friend, Gran," I answered from the door watching Ethan's smile slowly turning into a scowl. That scowl even made him look like an absolute hottie. "Invite your friend for breakfast Sky." What! Gran you can't honestly ask me to do that! What happened to put the distance between us? I spent last night with his thoughts through and through only to find him st
Oh My God! Could it go any more embarrassing than this situation I have tangled me into? Watching Ethan smirk in front of me was making me go red with embarrassment. "I don't recall giving you my handkerchief?" Of course you never 'gave' it to me. All right, I could take this situation in two ways from now. First, feign ignorance and second come clean. Since the former sounded way overrated, even in my head, I thought why not go for the second one? "You never gave it to me." "Then how did you get it?" Ethan asked dangling the hanky in front of us. He was smirking like a predator who has just got a whiff of its prey. "Remember our first meet at the mall?" I asked. "Of course I do." "You left it there by my side when you went away," I said lowering my voice in the last part. He took a step towards me and took my hand in his. "You have it with you since then?" Not knowing how to answ
"You want me to take you to my bedroom?" I asked Ethan, unbelievably."Yes." His answer was short and to the point."In your dreams Maxwell." I rolled my eyes and went ahead to the stairs."Oh common Carter, I am sure I have visited you in your dreams right in your bedroom, don't you want me to make your dreams come true?" Ethan asked, raising a brow. Yes, he could actually raise a brow, and somehow that made him appear more attractive.Why does his smile always make me so weak?"I have many other things to dream about, Ethan. Besides, I don't dream about boring stuff." I teased."Open the door and I will show you how 'interesting' your dreams can become." The smile that Ethan was giving me before had now turned into something darker, just like his eyes.It was evident that Ethan was not at all joking.I don't know what possessed me, but feeling a rush of adrenaline, I decided to invite him to my bedroom.I flicked on the light switch and opened the window
Every time he touched me, my body never failed to feel the spark. I closed my eyes and let that thrilling spark run down my body along with excitement and anticipation.I let myself drown in that kiss.Drown with him."Go on a date with me tonight," Ethan uttered breaking the kiss.Though I felt frightened at first, there was still a pinch of excitement that made its way into my heart, just by thinking about going on a date with him."But I am helping Gran at the restaurant tonight." I didn't want to appear too eager in front of him about the date.I didn't know how I managed to keep my calm from outside, cause inside I was practically screaming with excitement and anticipation."Then we will help Gran together." Ethan smiled.I liked how he decided to help Gran along with me instead of asking me to skip the restaurant tonight."Do you even know how to help?" I asked raising a brow."Is this some sort of job interview?" Ethan mimicked me by raising his brow."What if it is?""Then I w
