Chapter 29: An unexpected call

4 years later.  

                I slowly opened my eyes to see the most beautiful face. Even after four years, I couldn’t get tired of waking up  to him. My hands slowly trailed his innocent face, and I couldn’t believe we been together for four years. We broke every rule and every law society ever had to offer, and we took the biggest risk of our lives not knowing where we were going to end up. We could have broken up and I would have given up everything for nothing, but even if we did break up I wouldn’t be upset because I got my freedom by being with him.

                Me and Ethan  decided to move in together after a year of dating even though we attended different colleges, but our colleges were only twenty minutes from each other. Even though we said I love you to each other and I knew I meant it I wasn’t going to move in with the guy. I needed to get to know him more, sure we told each other our biggest secrets but we didn’t know the little things about each other, and we didn’t even know where this relationship was going, and when he asked me to move in with him I was a bit hesitant, but after a while I was ecstatic.

                Me and my family on the other hand were on horrible terms. Actually, me and my father were on horrible terms. My mother and my little sister still talk to me. My mother told me it took a lot of damage control, and even after four years her friends still talk about me as a horrible daughter who betrayed her family. I ask my mom why she is even friends with them and she replies that she doesn’t even know half the time. With me “tarnishing” the family name it caused my father animosity to even grow more. He forbid me to ever come in to his house ever again. I didn’t blame him, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to see the rest of the family, so whenever I do go down to my home town to see my family I usually stay at Ethan’s house and avoid my father like the plague. I miss him though. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep wishing I never had betrayed him, but then I think how could he force his daughter to marry a “weirdo” and not even wish her to become happy.

                I was so lost in thoughts I didn’t even realize a  hand trailing circles down my back. It wasn’t until he started trailing kisses down my neck that I realize where I was.

                “Good Morning.” He muffled against my skin.

                “Ethan stop. I have to go to class, and you have work.”  I tried to be rational, but even I could tell from the tone of my voice that I didn’t want him to stop.

                He pulls away, and then flips us over to where I am underneath him. “ We have at least an hour and half till both of us have to leave. Twenty minutes to get dress, 15minutes to eat,10 minutes to clean the bed, and 20 minutes it takes to get there. That leaves us with at least a half an hour. I have a pretty good idea what we can do in those 30 minutes.” He whisper and I can’t help, but feel the warmth against my skin.

“Ethan.” I screech in a high pitch voice.

“What? Don’t act so innocent because you weren’t acting innocent last ni..” I hit his chest before he can finish his sentence, and he starts chuckling.

“You are so annoying.” I groan.

“But you still love me.”

“Unfourtunly I do.” I say and then we just stare at each other letting a grin spread across our faces. Its times like these where I realize that even if we are together for twenty years that I will still love him like the first time I actually told him.

It wasn’t until my phone stared to ring to where Ethan finally decides to get off of me. “Sometimes I have the urge to snap your phone in half.” He grunts as I giggle. I push myself off the bed and press accept on my phone.

“Hey Raj.”  Yes, me and Raj somehow made up. It was probably a year after we stop talking and when we were both home for Christmas break we bumped into each other at the coffee house and we got to talking. We both apologize to each other. He came to realize that he wasn’t being totally irrational when he told me he didn’t want to talk to me because it was my personal choice to pick who I wanted to end up with, and we weren’t even dating so it wasn’t like I cheated on him. I told him I shouldn’t have played with his feelings and not been an ass. We both accept each other apologies and got to talking.  He was majoring in financing and he met a terrific girl that he was seeing for the past few months. Ever since that day we went back from being the same friends we were before this whole romance drama happened.

“Hey Naina. Are you coming home this weekend?”

“Yeah me and Ethan are going to leave tomorrow night after his shift at “Amour.”.” I explained and I gave a glare to Ethan when he grunted. Ethan wasn’t so thrilled about me and Raj being besties and besties again, but he dealt with it especially I after I told him he has a girlfriend.

“Tell him I said congrats on getting the head chief at the restaurant.” It was true my boyfriend was a head chief. He was an amazing cook and he deserved it especially after the crap he went through to become one.

“I will.Look Raj I have to get ready I will talk to you later.” I said before hanging up the phone. I stroll in to the bathroom washing my face. I hear my phone ringing and I tell Ethan to pick it up. I hear muffles through the bathroom door, and when I walk back outside I see Ethan looking pale as if he just seen a ghost.

“What happened?” I asked.

“That was your mom.” He replies monotone.

“Okay, so why are you acting like someone died.” I joke, but then his face become a thicker color of white when the words escape my mouth.

“Naina, you dad was emitted in to the hospital this morning.” And just like that my whole life changes in a flash.
