When I woke up and looked at the time, I was shocked. It was 9: 10 Am. I shot up from the bed and found Gavin sleeping peacefully on his bed. Why didn't his alarm ring today ? Now how are we going to school ? " Gavin ! ", I shouted. He groaned and buried himself a bit more under his blanket. I crawled out of my bed and went to him, shaking him harshly. " It's 9 : 10 Gavin. First hour already started ! ", I shouted into his ear. " Ahh..what's wrong with you Ethan ? Today is a holiday.", Gavin groaned closing his ears with his palm. " Holiday ??", I asked confused. " What holiday ?" " Today is October 14th you fool.", he said and buried his face into the pillow. October 14th ? Oh ! Columbus day. I see, so that is why our school conducted ball yesterday night instead of on weekend. Oh wait ! That means tomorrow is October 15th. And October 15th is my Mom's birthday ! Shit ! I almost forgot it and was pl
" Guys, we'll reach there in a minute.", Gavin finally said turning his head to us from the driver's seat. I and Michael were in the back seat and Grace was beside him. The car apparently belongs to his cousin brother, Drake who is studying in a university here and staying at an apartment nearby. So after having lunch from black swan, we got a taxi to Drake's apartment and got his car and key. And Gavin still hasn't told us where he is taking us. For the last half an hour, we have been asking him, but he didn't say a word. Now finally we are about to reach whichever place he intended to take us. Gavin slowed the car and proceeded to park it to a side. I looked out of the window curiously. But I couldn't see anything in particular. " Are we going I- Ice skating !?", Michael asked in surprise, looking out of the window on his side. Ice skating ?? I leaned to his side and found a big green board on the opposite side of the roa
Nate's POV" Ethan, I feel dizzy..let's...let's sit down for a while ?", I finally ask Ethan. It's almost two minutes since we are spinning continuously. " Yeah..", Ethan nod and stops spinning. I feel like everything rotating around me. And then Ethan almost lose balance and starts to fall down but I clutch his hands tightly and quickly skate with him to the edge and makes him sit down, quickly slumping down beside him. "Michael, I feel like the whole rink rotating around me.", He says holding his head with his both hands. " Same..", I laugh. " Just close your eyes for sometime.", I say and close my eyes. “ I don’t like you Gavin !” I open my eyes at Grace's voice and I find her standing beside me clutching onto the railing whilst watching Gavin doing circles by the rink, leaving her to skate by her own. Gavin just chuckles at her in response. " Huh..? I seriously don't like you.", she
" You know Michael...", Ethan says as we lie on his bed to sleep after the long day. " Uhm...?", I hum. " You are great.", he finishes his sentence. I tilt my head to him and he is smiling at me. " How am I great?", I ask. He opens his palm and starts counting on his fingers. " You are an artist, you are a dancer, you are really good at skating, you are so intelligent, good at studies and you are so handsome like Prince Charming. You are great." " You are so exaggerating. And P..Prince Charming ??", I laugh at him. " No I'm not exaggerating, Prince Charming. ", he smiles at me with his eyes crinkling at the corners. " Shall I call you Prince Charming then ?", he then asks turning his body completely to me and throwing his one arms over my stomach. " You can't....in...in front of others ! ", I say and he smiles wide. " Okay. So Prince Charming, let's sleep. I need to go for pra
After breakfast, Ethan grabs my hands and drags me to our dorm as if impatient to say or do something to me. I feel a bit nervous as he hurriedly run up the stairs holding my hands. As soon as we step into the dorm, Ethan locks the door and pushes me to the wall, pinning me between his arms. " I missed you.", he says and crashes his lips on mine. " What ?? M..missed me ?", I ask against his lips, my heart thudding rapidly. " Yeah..why you left to watch basketball practice ?", he feeds against my lips and stops moving his lips as if expecting a reply. I can't form words. He missed me in just one hour ? Yeah..I also kind of missed him while watching Basketball practice. I wished I was watching him practice dribbles. Ethan presses his knees on the wall between my legs and starts kissing me passionately as I don't say anything even after three seconds. His lips brush softly against mine and soon I start responding to the kiss b
I squirm lying on Gavin's bed, my ex-bed, not able to sleep. I guess it's past 2 Am now. Gavin is peacefully sleeping beside me. Grace too is sound asleep on her bed beside us. Only I can't sleep. I feel cold. I'm missing that comforting warmth. " Nate..", Gavin suddenly calls. I involuntarily hum to him. " You haven't slept yet ?", he asks in a sheepish voice. " Yeah..I- I slept.", I quickly say. Gavin let's out a chuckle and turns around, facing me. " Can't sleep without Ethan ?", he asks me with a hint of tease in his voice. " No ! Not that.", I quickly shake my head. " C'mon..it's that. Why arguing ? He will come back in two days.", he says. " No..it's really..not that. I was just thinking about s..something.", I argue back. " Oh what were you thinking about ?", he asks. I was actually thinking about Ethan. " Ahm..about my parents..my sister..."
Ethan's POV Waking up early on the next day, I decide to do some exercise before Michael wakes up. Sunday mornings while I'm at home, I usually do exercise whilst playing rap. But since today, Michael is sleeping peacefully on our bed, I decide to do a few push ups and sit ups quietly. I tug my shirt off of my head and throws it to one of the desk chairs, starting to do a few stretches regarding my arm muscles, my daily routine. It's five minutes later, while I'm doing a set of vigorous sit-ups that I suddenly catch two eyes peek at me from under a think blanket. The blanket instantly falls down covering my favourite baby blue eyes.So my baby woke up and has been secretly watching me. I stop doing sit ups and walk to the desk to take my phone. I can't help but smirk as I look at the bed and see my baby is still completely swaddled under the blanket, pretending asleep. I go to the music Icon on my phone and play from my ro
Wednesday evening as I walk out of the class, I receive a message from Ethan asking me to come to the Basketball court. He and Grace might be there watching Gavin's practice. And probably we are going out to some cafe to have something after that. There's a basketball match coming two weeks later. So the basketballers are practicing zealously, skipping the last hour everyday. Soon I reach the court and as expected, Ethan and Grace are sitting on the side steps. I walk to them and slump down beside Grace. Cause why deviating the attention of these basketballers from their game by sitting beside Ethan ? By now the dating rumour has spread across the whole school and everywhere I go, I receive stares and whispers. Now I've almost come to a state where I don't even bother to listen what they are whispering about me. " You look tired. ", Ethan says bending forward and looking at me. " Last period was so boring. Inorganic chemist
Nate's POV Ethan has a proud smile on his lips as he looks at me from among the vast sea of graduates, sitting in front of me, wearing black robes and hats. Gavin, Grace, Milan and Dulce are beside Ethan and they also have wide smiles on their faces. I'm now standing on the dials of Westview's main auditorium, in front of the Mike, facing at least a three thousand people, including our principal, chief guests, staffs, my fellow graduates and their friends and family. And they are all looking at me confused as to why I suddenly paused my valedictorian speech without a proper conclusion. Yes, today I'm graduating from high school and I'm standing here on the stage, delivering a speech after becoming the Valedictorian of this year. Something I and all the others thought I would never be able to do. Or better something people made me think I would never be able to do. But today I proved to myself and to the other that it was a wrong conception. Of course I co
" Michael..", Ethan calls, shaking me by my shoulder as I almost drift into sleep. I open my eyes and see his face hovering over me. " Your parents are coming here evening. They want to have dinner with us.", he says. " Oh ! ", I gasp and shoot up from the bed, causing Eve to groan. I quickly give her a pillow to hug and slide out of the bed. " But they didn't tell me." " They were going to tell you when you handed me the phone.", he says. " Okay, so what are we d..doing ?", I ask. " They are planning for us to meet at some restaurant.", he says. " So after having dinner, they would r..return back ?", I ask. He nods. " So they are coming just for a dinner ? Why do they have to c..come now ? We had told them that we would come on v..vacation, right ?", I ask in surprise. " Yeah..but they want to see us now. They already booked ticket.", Ethan says scratching on his neck.
Nate's POV It's past 6 Am when Ethan pulls the car in through the gates of our house. We had started from hostel at 4, after our bit too courageous deed there. Ethan had been waiting for it since a long time and I too was waiting for him to do it to me. But he wouldn't ask me. So at last I decided to ask him on our birthday. I wanted our first time to be special and memorable and I'm damn sure this past night will remain in our memories forever. I know, If we got caught, we could have got dismissed from school without being able to write the last semester exams and it would have been a forever painful memory for both of us. But I knew no body would catch us as almost all the students had went home and only a very few were staying at hostel during study leave. And thankfully everyone in our nearby rooms had went home. Ethan pulls the car into the porch and unbuckles his seat belt whilst rubbing his sleep deprived eyes. He could only sle
My hands shook and my heart pounded away so hard in my chest that I thought I might perish right here and now from the simple sight of my angel lying naked underneath me on our small sweet bed in Dorm 69. This is the bed where we slept hugging each other tightly on the day we first met. I remember picking up a hyperventilating Michael from the bathroom that day and making him lie here on this bed. He was in a totally vulnerable state then. He was someone with a lot of fears and insecurities. But now he has changed a lot. He isn't that same boy anymore. As I looked at his gorgeous baby blue eyes and his equally gorgeous body, which he had given me to do whatever I wanted tonight, I felt my pulsing desire to make him fly to the highest reaches of heaven. I wanted to show him how desirable he was and how perfect he was to me and how hot he was. I watched fascinated as his slender body undulated underneath mine, his creamy skin flushed s
Ethan's POV Soft, cute, warm, nice, beautiful, comforting, baby blue, lovely, gorgeous these are a few of the many words that randomly pop into my mind as I lie back comfortably on the driver's seat with my head tilted a little to stare at Michael, lying beside me on the passenger seat, animatedly talking about his past birthdays, his baby blue eyes glowing beautifully under my car's dome light. " And then Ethan...I..", he pauses and tilts his head smiling at me. My heart melts on seeing his dimples and I stare at him awestruck. When he smiles at me like this I feel my entire being coming to a standstill. He then suddenly giggles, the most softest and cutest voice, which is like music to my ears. And the corners of his baby blue eyes crinkle making him look more cute. He simply takes my breathe away with those eyes and dimples of his. "Why are you looking at me like that ? " he asks, stopping his giggles as I keep on staring at h
4 Months and 2 weeks later Ethan's POV I feel uneasiness bubbling in the pit of my stomach as I park my car nearby Black Swan and unbuckle my seat belt. " What now Ethan ?", Michael asks me in a soft voice, unbuckling his own belt. " Baby, I feel sad...and also guilty.", I say. He sighs shaking his head. " I shouldn't have told you actually." " No..it's better you told.", I mumble, leaving a sigh. The thing is actually, tomorrow is June 7, our birthday. And currently it's Friday evening 4 : 35 Pm and we are in front of our usual cafe Black Swan. Gavin, Grace, Milan and Dulce are inside there and they are now gonna give me a small surprise birthday party. So to make things clear, none of them still knows Michael's birthday is also tomorrow. We haven't told them anything. The only people who knows we got switched at birth are Me, Michael, Michael's parents, his older sister and my Mot
" Really ? You don't know to r..ride a scooter.", Michael laughs looking at me whilst wearing the helmet. " I just haven't rode a scooter or motorcycle yet.", I say whilst patting on the leather seat of his Mom's scooter. She is now standing at the front doors along with his Dad, looking at us with a wide smile on her lips. " I thought I can r..ride sitting behind you. Now I've to give you a ride.", He laughs and climbs on the scooter, expertly pulling it out to the yard. " Okay, C'mon..climb on.", he squeals giving me a helmet. I take it and wear it before hoisting my legs over the scooter and mounting on the seat behind him. I don't know whether it was funny to watch me climbing on the scooter's back for the first time in my life, anyway both Michael's Dad and Mom laughs. Soon a growl escapes from the scooter's engine as Michael reach the handle bar and turn in slightly. " Mickey..ride slowly, okay ?", his Mom calls out as he revs up
Ethan's POV I feel like I just slept for five minutes when I wake up hearing knocks. And it's kinda dark inside the room. I take away Michael's arms and legs from my body and reach my hands to the switch board. He groans and buries his head into my chest as soon as I turn on the lights. Rubbing my eyes, I tilt my head to the left where a clock is sitting on the wall. It shows 5 : 50 Am. " Michael..get up. Your parents are knocking.", I whisper to him, shaking him slightly. He soon rolls around on his back and sits up rubbing his eyes. " Go, open the door.", I tell him. He nods, blinking his eyes twice or thrice, adjusting them to the lightening inside the room. Then he crawls out of the bed and walks to the doors, ruffling his hair while I quickly kick away the blanket from my feet and sits nicely on the edge. Like I expected, both his Dad and Mom are standing there as he opens the door. Both of them instantly turns their gazes to me and they look
Ethan finally pulls away and flips us over, making me lie on his chest. " Baby, are you still hiding something from me ?", he asks me, staring deep into my eyes with his beautiful brown orbs. I can't say 'No' or shake my head. " What are you still hiding, Michael ? Don't you trust me ?", he asks. " Yes..I trust you Ethan. M..my Dad and Mom knows I'm n..not their Son.", I let it out. He looks at me really surprised and I snuggle my head into the crook of his neck, letting out a whimper. He is silent for a few moments before his hands starts running slow soothing circles on my back. " How do you know baby ?", he asks. The gentle tone of his voice and his soothing hands doesn't help me keep the secret to myself. I practically let everything out.I start telling him about the blood group and he is surprised knowing there is such a thing. He tells me his Mom is also B+ve like him and his Dad is A+ve. So B+ve is possible for the
