Ethan's POV
My phone rings lying beside me as I sit on the side bench, sipping on my water bottle after practice. I pick the phone thinking it's Michael but it's actually my Mom calling." Hello Mom.", I say answering the call." Hello Ethan. Your practice is over ?", she asks." Yeah..I was about to go have breakfast. Why did you call now ?", I ask." Okay, I know you weren't planning to come home this weekend but sadly you have to come home today. ", She says." Oh....okay..something came up ?", I ask, feeling sad. Now what will I tell Michael ?" Yeah..I need to go to Tennessee for a case. I'll be heading today afternoon. I'll return only tomorrow evening.", she says." Okay, I'll be there by 6 : 30. When are you leaving ?", I ask." I'll be heading by 3. Mrs Berth will pick Eve from school. And she will be there with her until you come. ", she replies." Okay MNate's POV My eyes almost turn the size of soccers as I look out of the window and take in the sight of the big two storey house in front of us, as Ethan pulls the car in through the gates. It's dark outside, also he quickly roll the car into the porch, so I could only have a quick glance of the house but still I can say this is the biggest houses I've ever been too. As I sit there looking at the big beautiful wooden front door of the house with an open mouth, thinking this might have been actually the house I grew up in, if I wasn't switched with Ethan, he tilts his head and chuckles at me. ' Liked my house already ?", he asks leaning forward and unbuckling my forgotten seatbelt. I wordlessly nod to him, trying not to act so overwhelmed. He smiles at me and reaches for our bags in the back seat. He gives me my bag and the small shopping bag before grabbing his own bag. The shopping bag contains some chocolates, pizza and
Ethan's POV I leave a long sigh whilst looking at a totally amused Michael who is currently sitting on the couch, watching PAW Patrol on TV with my equally amused sister on his lap. They have become great friends within this short time. After we had dinner, Eve showed Michael around the whole house. Then Michael lied down on her Disney princess bed in her room upstairs and let himself be lectured about her favourite cartoons and stuff for an hour. Then we came downstairs and we are watching Rapunzel and PAW Patrol since more than an hour. " Enough...it's 10 PM now. One hour past your bed time, Eve. ", I say. " But I don't feel sleepy.", She says and yawns leaning comfortably against Michael's chest. " No..I'm switching off the TV.", I say and get up from the couch. " No..Ethan. This show will end in t..ten minutes. She will sleep after that.", Michael says. I leave a another sigh and slump back on th
Ethan's POV I feel a pair of warm hands wrap around my waist and as I carefully flip the pancakes. Soon a soft chin is placed on my shoulder. " Yummy... ", Michael huskily whispers in my ear, inhaling the smell of pancakes deep into his nostrils. I can't help but smile wide. Have I told earlier, even the way he breathe is so cute ? " So you know to cook p..pancakes and all ?", he asks. " Yeah..I can cook anything, baby.", I reply proudly. He giggles a little. " Really ?" " Yeah..what did you think about me ?", I ask chuckling. " Okay, I can also cook. I can b..bake cake. Can you ?", he asks. " I too can. It's easy.", I chuckle tilting my head and kissing the side of his forehead. " Oh..you can ??", he mumbles, kinda disappointed. "Uhm..why didn't you wake me up ? We could have together prepared breakfast. " He sighs and closes his eyes, hugging me more tightly, squirming his h
We sit and talk for more that an hour about random stuff whilst watching the kids play. Then finally at almost 1 PM, when we both starts feeling hungry, I go and pick Eve from among the few kids who were still playing.She was also tired and hungry that she agrees to leave without much hesitance. We then drive to a nice restaurant and have a delicious lunch before heading back home. I and Michael sit to watch a movie on the TV while Eve brings her drawing book down and sit on the floor in front of the coffee table, starting to draw Cinderella or some princess using pencil colour.She has lot of pictures drawn on the book and nobody can say they are drawings from a six year old. She showed it to Michael yesterday and he was really surprised and told me she will sure become a great artist in the future. But I'm sure Michael too will become a great artist one day. Now Michael actually has his whole attention on Eve rather than watching
Ethan's POV " Eddy ! There...Mom...", Eve squeals jumping up and down, waving her hands as she see Mom walk out of the security doors along with the other passengers. " Michael..that's my Mom.", I point her to Michael. She hasn't seen us yet. " Yeah I already saw. I've s..seen her at hospital the other d..day.", he says looking in Mom's direction. He looks a bit nervous now. " You don't need to be scared to meet her Michael. She likes you.", I assure grabbing his hands. He tilts his head and nods to me, smiling slightly. Finally Eve's squeals catch Mom's attention and a wide smile forms on her lips on seeing us. She then walks fast towards us, dragging her small suitcase behind. " Hey ! All of you guys came ?", She asks smiling as she reach near us. Her eyes are mainly on Michael. " Mommy..here meet Eddy's boyfriend.", Eve introduces Michael proudly to Mom, causing her to look at he
When I open my eyes, the sun is shining across the plush duvet covering my body. I immediately reach out for Michael but my hands brush against the cool empty sheets instead of his warm body. I lift my head and peer around the room and still no sign on him. Rubbing my eyes, I sit up and crawl out of the bed, walking to the bathroom. He isn't there too. Where did he go ? I walk out of the room and go to Eve's room. Her room door is open and she is still sleeping peacefully on her bed. Michael isn't there. Did he go downstairs ?? I check in the balcony too before skipping down the stairs. There is no one in the hall but small sounds are coming from the kitchen. So, I walk towards there only to reveal to my eyes the sight of Michael and my Mom cooking together whilst talking. " Hey guys..", I say walking inside. " Hey you woke up.. ", Mom turns to me whilst serving the nicely cooked bacon into a dish. " Yeah.
Nate's POV " Ethan, thank you so much.", I whisper tilting my head to him. He has a beautiful smile on his lips as he stares at the point were the sea meets the sky. His eyes lidded from the last rays of the sun as he watches the colours of sunset spread across the sky, hues of orange and lilac swirling with the blue of the sky behind the dimming sun, that now slowly sinks into the horizon. " Did you enjoy it here ?", he asks, slowly tilting his face to me. " So much.", I say raising my head and smiling wide at him, before looking back at the setting sun, in taking the beautiful scenery deep into my memory. When we headed from his home early, I didn't think he has such a surprise planned for me. A cool wind blows from the sea, giving me goose bumps all over my arms. Ethan also shivers beside me. Both of our T-shirt and shorts are drenched in salt water. For the last one and half hours, we have been, paddling and playing around in
5 weeks later Nate's POV " Students, so this is our last History class. We have revised all the portion. Now you may sit and study hard. You should have learned everything already. There is just one week for the exam. ", Mr Jacob says staring at us intently as the bell rings. Ethan leans back on his chair beside me and lets out a sigh. Most of the people in the class has an annoyed expression on their face on the mention of exam. Mr Jacob shakes his head in disdain and turns around, taking his book from his table. " And students your hall tickets are now available on our site. You can login through the students login and take a print. ", he says before walking out of the class. " Let's go and take the print from captech during lunch break.", Ethan tells tilting his head to me. " Okay.", I nod grabbing my book and stuff. We then get up from our seats and walk out of the class together, causing a few girls to look
