I just stared at him, wide-eyed as I was too afraid to do anything. Just as his lips were about to touch mine, he lost his footing and we both crashed down. We were at the edge of one of the stairs after all.
I was the unlucky one as I fell on my back. What made it worse was Ethan landing on top of me. He immediately scrambled to get off of me.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he sat up straight and stared down at me.
"I hope so," I grunted.
After I recovered from the fall, we burst out laughing for no reason.

I woke up the next day with a smile on my face. I was reminiscing all the fun moments I shared with Ethan.
That was when Olivia came storming in my room.
"Where were you last night?" She asked, pointing a finger at me.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked as I swiftly rolled out of bed and fixed my shirt.
"I told you I was going to tell you everything about my date with Tristan. But wh
A few days later, Tristan stormed inside the mansion. I was in the middle of my classes when there were loud knocks on my door. I frowned and was about to open the door when Tristan's angry voice confronted me."Juliet, what did you tell her?" Tristan demanded from the other side of the door.I kept quiet. Did Olivia tell him that I told her about him?"Juliet, open the door. I want to talk to you."I still didn't say anything, hoping he would think I was not here."I know you're there. Don't think that just because you aren't speaking I'd think you aren't here."Well, damn."What is it?"I asked."What did you tell her about me? Why is Olivia acting strange since our date? It feels like she's avoiding me.""I don't know what you're talking about.""Open the damn door.""No, I'm busy. Let's talk later.""Later when?""After lunch. Can you wait till then?"Tristan didn't speak for a minut
"Brooke is getting married!"Amelia gasped. "Really?""Yeah! I can't believe Brian finally proposed to her.""Yeah. She texted me too. That's such a beautiful ring," Amelia squealed as she showed us the picture of a woman's hand with a big and beautiful diamond ring on the ring finger. "I'm so going to be the maid of honor!""No way, she's totally going to choose me." Heather fired back."Hah, keep dreaming. I know I'm her favorite!" Amelia retorted."Slow down. Who's Brooke." I asked, confused about this new person."She's my cousin," Amelia informed me. "And she's getting married to her long time boyfriend, Brian.""How long?""They've been dating for like eight years with three break ups in between.""Wow. How old is she?" Olivia asked pushing her sunglasses up her head as she peered at Amelia."She's almost twenty seven. And her fiancé, Brian is the sweetest guy ever. When they were in college, h
As weeks passed, Heather and Amelia's excitement for their friend's wedding knew no bounds. If I hadn't known better, I would've assumed it was their own wedding.We were in California now, two days before the wedding.Two weeks ago was the bridal shower which was attended by everyone. After that event, we were all too busy arranging a bachelorette party for the bride-to-be.Heather and Amelia had said that a simple one is what Brooke would prefer so they had booked a nice resort along the beach for the weekend which was about two hours or so away from the hotel we were staying at.A lot of planning went into the party. We booked a stretch limo for two days and Heather looked after the decorations at the resort. Amelia was tasked with
"She hasn't even watched Fifty Shades Of Grey or read the book so I think she's probably not sure what she has to find exactly." Callie explained."Oh no," Olivia groaned.That was advantageous to our team. I just hoped Vanessa wasn't as clueless as Ruth."Uh...I hope I have the right things." We heard Vanessa's voice."Yeah, you do have the right things!" Amelia confirmed after going through the items."So team A wins!"We cheered at our win. Ruth looked at her teammates sheepishly.Amelia, out if nowhere, pulled out a life-sized picture of Ryan Gosling and set it firmly against the wall."What is this?" Eliza questioned."Well, I know how much Brooke adores this guy. He's like her celebrity crush. So we're going to play a little game of Kiss The Lips. Okay, so who'd like to go first?" Amelia asked."The bride!" Everyone said in unison.Brooke got up and put on red lipstick after which Amelia blindfolded h

The wedding was lovely. I was so happy for Brian and Brooke even though I didn't know them much. Their wedding was like a fairytale. Although I didn't believe such kind of thing existed in real life, but looking at Brooke and Brian made me think that they were an exception.After the reception, Brian and Brooke set off for their honeymoon. The bouquet was caught by Heather and the garter by Ethan. It was so surprising and everyone was sure that they would be the next couple to get married soon.Ethan was a little weird at the reception though. Whenever I went to talk to him, he was always busy talking to others. Even when I caught him alone, at the sight of me he'd become panicked and dodge me by going in the opposite direction and getting someone to talk to him.I didn't know what was up with him.At the time of the dance he literally danced with every woman in the hall except me. It was like he was purposefully avoiding me. I didn't understand why he wa
This chapter continues in Julie's POV---"What's up with you?" Keith asked while I was absentmindedly stirring some soup in a pot."Nothing," I sighed."Are you not feeling well?" He asked, tugging at my arm to make me face him. He put his palm against my forehead. "You don't have a fever. Do you have a headache?""No, I'm fine.""Looks like you're not in the mood to cook," he commented. "You aren't attentive.""Sorry," I shook my head and started stirring vigorously."That's okay. I have days like that too," he said, taking the ladle from me.We cooked in silence until he decided to break it. "Is everything alright?""I'm not sure. I don't know if it's just me overthinking about the situation or the situation is really like that.""I don't understand."I shook my head. "Don't worry. It's nothing big.""Still...can I do something to help?""Hey, Keith.
Today I was determined to talk to Ethan when I caught sight of him in his suit, ready for work.I didn't see him at breakfast so I assumed he was done with it already. I didn't have much time to catch up with him.Grabbing a hoodie from the closet, I quickly put it on and hurried down. I was lucky he was just getting in his car when I burst out the front door. He didn't see me because he got in his car at that exact moment.I ran towards it and threw open the door before getting in and closing it behind me.He looked a little stunned by my actions and blinked a couple of times."What're you doing?" He asked, angling his body to face me."Let's talk."He huffed and faced the front. "I don't have time to talk to you right now.""I lost count of the number of times you said that to me in the past two weeks.""Your point?""Why are you avoiding me?""I'm not avoiding you. I'm very busy so I don't have time-"
