All Chapters of Always Be Mine: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

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.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,

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

Ethan's P.O.VAlthough most people wanted to go home at the end of the day, I was actually the complete opposite. I was someone who dreaded coming home. It's sad but true. When I come back home, I get reminded of the issues I have and my dysfunctional life.However, when I was home, apart from staying in my bedroom and avoiding my dad, there was nothing much to do. I spent most of my days, either outside or locked in my room, so I didn't have to see his face.I tried to walk as slow as I could to delay time, but I eventually still made it home. Once I got inside, a strong smell of beer and cigarettes hit my nostrils. My dad was sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand. Typical.Who even drinks this early?His finger comes off the remote, and his head turns toward me. "There's something I want to talk to you about later.""Whatever," I muttered.I could tell he was about to yell at my rudeness but decided against it before shifting his attention back to the television.Walking to t
