"I want to." I breathed out against his lips. Ethan kissed my chin before kissing down my stomach slowly. My back arched for him as I felt his hands against my breasts.

I felt him pull my underwear off making me open my eyes to see his head between my thighs. I was about to ask him what he was doing when he started licking the inside on my thighs making me moan as I arched my back.

He quickened his pace making me bite my lip not wanting the people down the hall to hear. I felt an unfamiliar feeling in the pit of my stomach making me grip his hair as my other hand gripped his sheets.

I let out a breathy moan as I felt myself come from the way his mouth felt against me for the first time. Ethan started to kiss up my stomach again as I started to recover making me fill with butterflies at how gentile he was being.

Ethan pulled away once his lips met mine making me open my eyes to see Ethan rolling a condom on. "Are you sure?" Ethan asked again as he leaned down against me.

"Yes, Ethan." I answered as he moved a strand of hair away from my eyes. He kissed me softly before I felt him enter me slowly. I squeezed my eyes closed not used to this uncomfortable feeling inside me as we continued to kiss.

"You okay?" He asked softly as he stopped making me nod as a tear escaped my eye. Ethan quickly wiped it away before he continued entering me slowly.

I could tell it was taking a lot for him to take his time making my heart swoon before I felt him pulling away. I instantly missed him making me arch my back before he entered me again. I dug my nails into his back as the pain started to fade away and pleasure quickly consumed me.

"Faster." I whimpered making him do as he was told. I gripped the headboard with one of my hands as the other continued to claw at his bare back.

I let out a moan making him thrust into me faster as he kissed me to muffle my moans. "Fuck. You're so tight." Ethan hissed against my neck making me grip his hair roughly.

"I wonder why." I breathed out making him chuckle before he gripped my waist with one hand and my knee with his other.

I felt that unfamiliar feeling in the pit of my stomach again making my toes curl as my back arched. Ethan could tell I was about to come making him kiss me once again to muffle my moans as I came around him.

I moaned into his mouth as I dug my nails into his back roughly before I slowly came down from my high. After a few more strokes Ethan grunted into my chest before sighing heavily.

Ethan slowly pulled out of me making me wince before he threw the condom in the trash. He laid beside me as he threw a sheet over our sweaty bodies. I felt him wrap his arm around me as my back faced him making me smile softly before I slowly drifted to sleep.

I woke up lying on Ethan's bare chest as the sun streamed in making me smile softly. "Good morning." He said as he felt me shifting against him. "Morning." I breathed out ignoring the unfamiliar feeling in-between my legs.

"Do you want to take a shower?" Ethan asked making me nod lightly remembering I still have my makeup on from last night. "Can I borrow a shirt?" I asked as I sat up with the sheet around me making him nod.

I walked into his bathroom with the sheet around my body and his shirt in my hand before I closed the door most of the way. I let the sheet pool at my feet after I turned on the shower making me look at my reflection.

I had a few hickies on my collar bone and stomach making me smile softly. I had realized my makeup wasn't as smudged as much as I thought it would be making me grateful before I stepped into his shower.

I ignored the ache in-between my thighs as I cleaned my body with his body wash. After a few minutes I started drying off before throwing his black tee shirt on.

I walked back into his bedroom to grab my underwear that laid on the floor before pulling on my jeans. I ignored his stares as I threw my clothes in my bag and folded the dress, I wore last night and placed it on his dresser.

"Are you hungry?" Ethan asked breaking the silence as he stood up with the sheet I previously had around his waist. "No." I answered not looking at him as he walked past me.

I sat on his bed scrolling through my phone as he took a shower. There were no messages from Ian making me frown slightly. This was the first time we hadn't celebrated Halloween together. Even if it was just at a lame party at his friend's house.

"You okay?" Ethan asked making me realized he was done in the restroom. "Ian hasn't texted." I replied as I shoved my phone in my back pocket making him hum in reply.

After Ethan finished getting dressed, we made our way downstairs to see Sarah and his parents eating breakfast. "Good morning." Sarah said making me smile softly. "Morning." I replied quietly as I sat down.

"Has anyone checked on Lucas?" I asked after a few minutes of silence making Sarah nod. "Yes, a few hours ago. I was helping him as he vomited." She said making me smile at her again.

"Can you drive me home?" I asked Ethan as he finished eating making him nod. "Thank you for having me. The party was very fun." I said to Cynthia and Victor making them smile.

"It was nice meeting you." Victor said to me making me smile at him before I followed Ethan out of the house.

"Why does Lucas live with you?" I asked as we drove in uncomfortable silence. "He doesn't get along with his parents." Ethan answered making me nod lightly as I looked out the window.

"Do you regret it?" He asked breaking the silence me making me look over at him. "I-N-No." I stuttered making him silent again.

"Do you?" I asked hesitantly as he pulled up to my house making him look over at me. "No." Ethan answered making me smile softly as I looked away to leave his car.

He quickly grabbed my chin making me look up at him again before I felt his lips against mine. I quickly kissed him back loving the way our mouths molded against each other.

"Does this mean we are more than friends?" I asked as we pulled away making him chuckle softly down at me. "Are you asking me out, Amelia?" Ethan teased making me roll my eyes.

"Never mind." I said full of annoyance and embarassment as I turned away from him again making him turn my chin with his finger. "Do you want to be?" He asked making me shrug lightly.

"Do you?" I replied making him smile down at me in amusement. "Since the moment I met you." Ethan confessed making my heart swoon as I looked up in his deep brown eyes.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I said after a few seconds of silence before I finally left his car. I walked into an empty home making me sigh as I threw my bag on the kitchen counter.

So many questions and memories ran through my mind now that I was finally alone with my thoughts. I rummaged through the cupboards to grab ingredients to make cupcakes.

After I preheated the oven and lined the cupcake tins, I started mixing the ingredients. The memory of Tyler threatening me, and all the things Lucas said to me crowded my mind.

How did Tyler know about Ian and what happened to our parents? Did Ethan tell them? Why was he dating Sarah? Should I tell her that he is dangerous?

I knew that if I did, she wouldn't believe me. And Tyler will tell everyone Ian and I's secret. So, I knew I had to keep my mouth shut about that night.

Who was that man I was talking to last night? Why did Ethan hate him so much? Was he dangerous also? The man claimed to be a big deal in whatever work they are in. I wonder in what way.

I started to think about last night and the moment Ethan and I shared making ne smile softly. I tried thinking of a rational explanation as to why I slept with him. Neither of us were drunk yet I kissed him back. I never thought that Ethan wanted to be with me in that way. He deserves to be with someone who is like him.

Who understands whatever his job is. Who doesn't lie and keep secrets from him. Who is in the same upper class as him. I was none of those things for Ethan.

But I also couldn't deny the unwanted chemistry we had. The way he made me feel last night and just in our normal day to day conversations. The way his laugh makes me laugh. How his touch sends electricity and butterflies throughout my body.

I couldn't explain it, but I desperately wanted to. I wanted to deny it because someone like him shouldn't be with someone like me.

Once I finished putting the cupcakes in the oven the door opened making me realize Ian was finally home. "Hey. How was your party?" I asked him as he collapsed on the couch.

"Alright." Ian answered making me nod lightly. "I made cupcakes." I stated as I started to clean off the counter making him look up at me.

"Why? Are you okay?" He asked making me groan inwardly. "Yes." I lied making him walk over to me.

"Is this about last night?" Ian asked making me snap my head to him. My lips parted to reply when he continued. "I didn't mean to celebrate Halloween without you." He said instantly making me ease as I let go of a breath, I didn't know I was holding.

"It's okay. It was bound to happen at some point." I replied making him nod before walking upstairs.

I had an urge to text Ethan making me frown as I placed my phone on the counter. After spending so much time with him at once I started to miss him now that he wasn't here.

I rolled my eyes hating the way Ethan was making me feel. I never had a problem distancing myself from others until he came along. Ever since I met him, he has always been in the back of my mind. Wondering what he is saying or doing. How he is feeling and if I could make him better. It's annoying.

My thoughts were cut off from a phone notification making me quickly grab it. 'You left one of your books.' Ethan texted making me frown.

'I have work in an hour. Can you drop it off there?' I asked hesitantly as I took the cupcakes out of the oven.

'What time?'

'I'm off at seven.' I answered as I turned off the oven before hearing Ian come back downstairs.

'See you then.' Ethan replied making me smile softly before Ian spoke. "Are they done?" He asked as he walked over to me and the cupcakes.

"Yeah. I need to get ready for work." I stated before I placed my phone on the counter before walking upstairs.

I had to ask for another uniform for the diner making me frown trying to forget the memories as I got ready. I tried to shove them off and what that man, Pete, did to me as I started walking downstairs.

I was met with Ian eating one of my cupcakes making me roll my eyes as I threw my hair in a ponytail. "I haven't frosted them yet." I stated in annoyance making him chuckle lightly. "I'll see you later." I said to him as I left the house with my book bag.

"How was your Halloween?" Chloe asked as she sat on the counter as I swept the floors. "G-Good." I answered trying to push aside the memory of Ethan and me.

"Did you spend it with your boyfriend?" She teased making me fight my smile as I continued to sweep. "I don't have a boyfriend." I stated making her chuckle lightly.

"Your friend." Chloe corrected herself making me roll my eyes at her tone. "Yes, I did. His parents threw a party " I answered as I looked up at her to see her grinning.

"And? How was the party?" She asked quickly making me frown lightly. "Fun." I replied hesitantly making her continue to smile before I started sweeping again.

"Since you two are 'just friends' you wouldn't mind if I asked him out?" Chloe teased as she smiled wide making me roll my eyes as I tried to ignore the feeling, I got from thinking about him with another woman.

I knew I had no right to be jealous of whoever he dates. But deep down I wished it were me I saw him making out with the day I met him.

"No. Of course, not." I lied making her roll her eyes. "He isn't my type." She replied making me frown as I finished cleaning.

"What is your type?" I asked making her chuckle. "Women." Chloe answered making me chuckle remembering meeting her girlfriend at the diner a few months ago.

"Your boyfriend is coming. Should we make him jealous?" Chloe joked as she raked her hand against the small of my back making me roll my eyes. "It would probably do the opposite effect." I said as I pulled away making her laugh.

"Hey." Ethan said to me as he walked in making me smile. "I need to clock out." I stated before walking in the back to punch in my timecard.

"What book did I forget?" I asked him as we left the diner with my bag on his shoulder. "What?" He asked as he looked down at me before his eyes flashed with realization.

"Oh, right. I lied." Ethan confessed making my eyebrows tense. "Why?" I asked making him shrug as we continued to walk.

"Missed you." He answered not looking at me making my stomach do summer salts. "Thought you would've gotten tired of me by now." I confessed through my smile making Ethan look down at me.

"Never." Ethan replied seriosuly making me look up at him. He stared down at me full of awe and seriousness making me look away. "Are you free Wednesday after school?" He asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence making me nod.

"Yes." I answered as we walked down the street as the sun started to set. "I'll pick you up at four." He asked making me roll my eyes as I smiled lightly.

"Why?" I asked making him chuckle beside me. "I'm taking you out on a date." Ethan said making me frown as I looked up at him. "A date?" I asked making him stop waking to smile down at me amused.

"That's what a boyfriend does for their girlfriend, no?"
