"So what's the plan?" Olivia questioned after breakfast when I told her that I was going to get back at Ethan.
"The classic one. I'm going to put many alarm clocks in his room, three to be exact. The one in his room, the one from my room and the one in yours," I replied, taking a small sip of my coffee.
"You should've been more creative with your plan. I'm very disappointed," Olivia said, shaking her head at me.
"Hey! That's all I could come up with. Although I did consider other ideas," I retorted.
"Yeah? Like what?"
"Like putting eye drops in his drink to give him a severe diarrhoea but I couldn't find eye drops. I also considered sticking wet cotton balls all over his expensive cars but that would just spoil those beauties and I would never allow that. Also at some point I thought of sticking needle pins on his toilet seat but that's just gross so I let it pass," I said, scrunching my nose up in disgust.
Olivia let out a breath through he
After dinner, I immediately went up to my bedroom and told Olivia to do the same. I didn't want Ethan to get suspicious of our plans if he found us lurking around the house late at night. I stayed up in bed until one in the morning. I was sure Ethan wouldn't sleep soon and I knew he was tired so he wouldn't sleep too late either.I kept myself alert for any sounds of doors closing near my room which would indicate he was in his bedroom. And precisely so, I heard a door close shut softly at around half past midnight. I gave him about half an hour after that to sleep as I was pretty sure he wouldn't immediately go to sleep. Once it was about twenty past one, I jumped off the bed and landed softly on the carpeted floor on the balls of my feet.Oh,thethingsIdoforhim.I'msacrificing
The next day at breakfast, I couldn't contain my giggles when I saw a groggy looking and I'm-going-to-fall-asleep-any-second-now-so-don't-piss-me-off Ethan.He still hadn't noticed me sitting silently at the table when he walked in rubbing circles under his eyes. He looked tired and as if he hadn't slept at all. That was pretty obvious from the bags under his eyes and him yawning twice every minute.His eyes fell on me a minute later and he jabbed an accusing finger in my direction."You little-""What?" I quickly cut him off before he could call me something unpleasant, widening my eyes innocently. "What did I do?""You very well know what you did," he growled, lowering his finger.
"Ethan called, he said he wouldn't be able to make it to the dinner tonight," Charlotte announced at the dinner table, just as I took my seat."Poor boy, he works himself so hard. He should take a break every now and then," Mr. Jenson commented.Ohplease,I thought.Ifonlyyou'd knowthereasonofhisabsence, then you'dliketoretractyourstatementofhimworkinghard.HemustprobablybesnoggingHeatheror
"I see you had a good start to your morning," Ethan commented when I entered the kitchen. He was sat at the breakfast bar, sipping on a cup of coffee. The steam from the cup swirled above in beautiful patterns before disappearing into thin air. It made me crave for a nice hot chocolate or coffee."That was a lame thing to do to get back at me, you have to admit," I replied as I poured myself a glass of water instead.Ethan shrugged. "That's all I could think of when I walked into your room and found you sleeping soundly. Mess with my sleep and I'll mess with yours."I shook my head at him. "How did you even get into my room?""The door was ajar. I couldn't help myself. You were basically calling for it."
No sooner had she said it that the door burst open and in walked a teary eyed, what I assumed to be was, Rachael Jenson. A handsome man walked in tow which I was positive, was Antonio Jenson.I got up from the couch and hesitantly took a step forward but unfortunately ended up getting my toe stubbed into the coffee table.I hissed in pain and crouched down to hold my throbbing toe."A-are you okay?" Rachael asked as she reached me."Yes, I am," I answered quietly."Oh Juliet, I missed you so much." She croaked, pulling me to her as she crushed the life out of me."Why did you run away like that?!" She shook with incessant tears as s
"I want to show you something today," Rachael stated, barging into my room and catching me off guard as I was slipping into a shirt."What?" I asked, pushing the shirt down and looking at her."You'll get to know. Just dress up as soon as you can and we'll get going in a few minutes. There's probably going to be some media out there where I'm taking you because some idiot accidentally leaked out the information that I'm going to be present there today," Rachael huffed, rolling her eyes."Um...I don't think that's a good idea. I mean...I'm not used to getting exposed to the media...I-I..." I trailed off for lack of words to explain my situation.Rachael rose a perfect eyebrow at me. "What? What do you mean you're not used to it?"Realizing my slip up, I bit down on my tongue harshly and quickly amended my statement. "I-I mean after such a long gap...I'm not ready to face them."Rachael looked sympathetically at me. "I understand but don't wor
Ten more minutes and that was all it took for me to get bored easily. I thought back to yesterday morning and how Ethan had woken us up with that horrendous music as a way to get back at me.This was a perfect opportunity for a revenge. I was sure Ethan would still be in the shower and I hoped he would be in there for a while."I'm just going to go to the bathroom." I announced but seeing as no one had paid any attention to me and were still busy playing in the pool, I slipped out of there quickly.I sprinted upstairs to where Ethan's room was, unfortunately opposite to mine. Once I got there, I pressed an ear to the door so I could hear sounds that would tell me he had already finished showering. There were none so I knew he was still in the shower.I grabbed the door handle and slowly turned it to unlock, silently thanking that it wasn't locked or else I would've had to go to the kitchen and search what key it was to Ethan's room in the key rack and by
"A-are you okay?" Olivia asked me, waving her hand in front of my face as I sat staring off into space."Huh? What?" I asked, not entirely hearing or comprehending what she said."I asked if you were you okay? You look pretty shaken up," She observed.I was brought back to the real world. Holy crap. What had I done? That wasn't supposed to happen. I didn't mean to expose Ethan like that in front of about a dozen people.I was so stupid. I shouldn't have done anything in the first place. I had taken it too far. Granted the towel slipped by mistake and it was probably Ethan's fault that he didn't tie it tight enough.But I felt like I was largely at fault here. If I wouldn't have done what I did, it probably wouldn't have happened and my eyes would've still being innocent and not exposed to a heart attack triggering sight so precipitously."Julie!" Olivia suddenly yelled."What?" I asked with widened eyes, not expecting her sudden outbu
