Ethan's P.O.VThis was supposedly the party of the year. Gabe didn't even have to tell anyone he was having a party on his birthday because they just automatically knew that he'd have one, just like every other year.And just like every other year, there was no way I could miss my best friend's birthday party. Plus, the guys would give me a lot of shit for not coming.When I got to his house, it was booming loud with music. There has got to be at least a hundred people in the house all dancing and drinking with each other. I doubt he even knew half the people here, but it wasn't like he cared.From left to right, there were guys and girls grinding against each other, a desperate look in their eyes that showed they were definitely going to hook up tonight. That's why there were rooms upstairs.Pushing past the crowd, I made my way to the stairs, which took a lot more effort than I expected. Navigating through a crowd of drunk and high teenagers is harder than you think."Ethan, my man!
Ethan's P.O.VAfter an hour or so, I found myself driving home. I contemplated long and hard before deciding that it wasn't the best idea to drive over to Maya's house considering that I was slightly intoxicated, so I decided to drop my car off first. Besides, it didn't take that long to walk over.Glancing briefly at the driveway, I see two cars parked in front of the house. I sighed as I locked my car, approaching the walkway. I hated it when his friends came over because that meant that I had to deal with five times the asshole, which was why I'm almost never home when they're over.Unfortunately for me, that wasn't the case today.I mentally prepared myself for the chaos that was about to happen as I entered the house, coming face to face with my dad and two other girls that looked barely legal by his side. They were probably around my age, but like the sick guy he is, he doesn't even care. I tried not to pay any attention to them as I strode through the living room, not making an
Ethan's P.O.VThe door swung open, and Maya looks up at me with her big and brown eyes. Her face slightly wet and shiny from the shower and to top it off, she was wearing an extremely thin tank top with heart-shaped pajama pants.Holy shit.How could someone wear pajamas and still make me want her so badly?I inhaled sharply as she pulled me into a hug and all I could think about was how close I was to her breasts. In fact, I could see them even clearer, perking through the paper-thin fabric as she leaned closer. As hard as I try to keep my eyes firmly on her face, she was making it incredibly hard."That was a long fifteen minutes," she arched an eyebrow, her arms crossed under her breasts, pushing it up slightly — not that I was looking.1"I'm sorry, I got into an unexpected fight with my dad," I said, "you know how he is."The moment I said that worry poured into her wide eyes as she moved aside, letting me into her house. The door shut behind us and she led me to her room. A stro
Maya's P.O.VWaking up the second time next to Ethan felt exactly it did the first time, his thighs against the back of mine, one leg on top of me, and his arms wrapped tightly around my waist.The curtains made the room dark, so I could barely make out his facial expression, but he shifted his body so that we were now face-to-face.Lowering his head, his lips brushed against my ear as he spoke. "Good morning, my beautiful princess."A flutter took residence inside my chest as he dragged his hands down my hips, a burst of shivers running down my spine. I wasn't sure if the shivers occurred because it was cold in the morning, or was it because of how sexy and deep his morning voice sounded."Hi," I said.A wide smile appeared on his lips as his gaze flicked up to my face, and I sucked in a soft breath to try and hide all the giddiness I was feeling deep inside. Ethan leaned in so that half of his body was hovering over mine."How did you sleep?"My lips twitched into a smile. "Great."
Maya's P.O.VAlthough Ethan left, Leah and Connor decided to stay behind with me for a little while, but they left not long after. For the rest of the day, I sat by myself while everyone talked amongst themselves. If you thought waiting at the hospital was terrible, it was worse now that I was alone.I passed the rest of the afternoon without feeling a single bit hungry, although not having any food in my body. Considering that I was on, I don't know, four hours of sleep, and waiting for any news about Jason, I was currently drowning myself in coffee to stay awake.While I sat and waited, I've officially decided that love was going to be the death of me.Why did love have to be so cruel?When I was a little girl, I've always loved fairy tales, true love, and romance. It was easy, though, because most of the romances I watched were The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and things like that. But it wasn't as easy in real life.Now that I've grown up, I've learned that life will throw you obst
Maya's P.O.V.I woke up somewhere between four or five in the morning, feeling heavy in my body. My legs felt weak, and I didn't have any motivation to get out of bed. Waking up is no longer the pleasure it was since I knew that Ethan wasn't going to be a part of my day.Closing my eyes, I think about all the reasons why I want to go to school, such as maintaining my perfect attendance and keeping up my G.P.A.Slowly but surely, I managed to pull myself out of bed, letting my feet hit the cool floor. Just like every other day, I headed to the toilet to start my morning routine of brushing my teeth and hair. After I managed to make myself somewhat presentable, I headed down for breakfast."Morning sunshine," my mom greeted from the kitchen.My dad pulled out his earphones and turned to greet me with the same excitement as my mom. "You're up early today, and your mom hasn't even finished cooking breakfast.""Actually, I have to go to school early today. Got a lot of work to catch up on,
Maya's P.O.VToday was the day of the start of the season football party, and everyone in school was invited. It's all everyone has been talking about for the past few weeks, and for the past few weeks, I've debated on whether to go or not.It wasn't that I didn't like going to parties or anything, but it was the fact that Ethan was going to be there.Although I was miserable on the inside, I've spent most of my time burying myself in studying since finals were coming up soon.My phone lights up in my hand, and I stop to take a quick look at who it was. I stare at my phone to see Leah's text appear on my screen.Leah: Girl, are you coming tonight?Maya: Yeah. What time does it start?Leah: Eight!Maya: Can you pick me up?Leah: Is that even a question? I'll be there at 7:50. Look hot.I tossed my phone onto the side of my bed and lay there, still contemplating whether it was a good idea to go or not. Leah wasn't going to take no for an answer.To be honest, I didn't plan on going to t
Ethan's P.O.VAs my third class came to an end, I couldn't wait to come to Maya's class. I packed my things into my bag before the bell rang so I could leave immediately and make it before Maya leaves her class.Staring through the small window on the door, I drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly. I couldn't help but notice how angelic she looked when she was focused. In fact, she was so focused that she didn't even look up when I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me.Walking to her table, I see Maya looking all beautiful with a broad smile plastered on her face."Hi, baby," I greeted."Hello," she said with a smile."Have I ever told you that I find your brain so sexy?" I smirked.Maya shrugs. "Only a few hundred times.""Ready to head to lunch, Einstein?""Definitely, I'm starving."The walk to the cafeteria was short, all we had to do was walk to the end of the hallway. As Maya put her bags on the bench, the guys seemed shocked to see her here since, for the pa
