Forever You

chapter 10

We stayed at Woody's for a few hours and we made it back to the apartment. We were walking up the stairs still laughing about how the night ended. Jack immediately loved Adrianna and once she excused herself to the bathroom he gave me that look. He knew without me even saying anything that Adrianna was a game changer. If anyone knew me it was Jack. Jack, of course, flirted with her while we were there. I knew he was just fucking with me so I let it slide. Adrianna looked at me a few times he got her on the dance floor to save her. I didn't. I just sat and watch them dance a few times. The place was filled with the usual and no-one else approached her knowing I've never taken a girl there before. Smart men!

I unlocked the door and motioned for her to enter. She did still laughing and said "I still can't believe you made someone pee their pants." I couldn't help but smile again. Jack had told Adrianna about the time I defended Elli when Gage called me about that little prick ruffing Elli up. No-one touched Elli. I made sure of that and so did Evan and Erik. He told her a few other stories but I was surprised that was the one she brought up. We walked in and I shut and locked the door. She went to take her shoes off and fumbled a little. I grabbed her hips to steady her. She laughed again and I knew she wasn't drunk because we only had a few beers.

She was happy and I couldn't help but smile knowing I was the one that made her happy. At lease spending the day with her did. She removed her other shoe and threw it by the door with the other one. She grabbed my arms and looked up at me and said "I wish I would have had a sibling." I smiled again and said "you think I'm protective of my sister... if some one hurt you I'd do more than make them piss themselves!"

She sucked in a breath and looked at me confused and said "what's that suppose to mean?" I didn't know what the hell it meant but it was true. What I felt for Elli was completely different from what I was feeling for this angel. I was totally territorial over her and it wasn't because of brotherly protection. The thought of someone hurting her made me sick. Someone hurting Elli pissed me off to no end. There was a difference.

I still had ahold of her and said "what's what suppose to mean?" I knew what she meant but I couldn't help but ask. I smiled at her because she sucked in a breath again. She didn't want me this close. She wasn't ready. She finally met my eyes and said "why would you do more if someone hurt me?" O. My little angel had no idea how I felt about her. Why that fucking turned me on was beyond me. But it did. I was fully hard.

I didn't want to but I let her go and said "the thought of someone hurting you makes me sick." I wasn't sure why I told her the truth but I did. She bit into her lip and looked down. I need to get away before I attacked her. I wanted to so badly. I took a step back and said "I feel very protective of you angel." Please don't look down! She didn't and slowly meet my eyes. She gave me a small smile and said "Thank you for today. I had fun. I..... haven't had that much fun for...Well...a long time. I.." She paused and looked down the hall. Then she looked back to me and said "I'm going to turn in."

She was going to bed. I needed to let her so I said "I'm glad you had fun angel. I had fun too." She sucked in another breath and closed her eyes. Just walk away angel. I know you want too. If you don't then I can't be held responsible for what I do next. Which is attack you. I knew she wasn't ready for that. She pressed her hand to my chest and said "good night Ethan."

Smart girl. I watched her walk down the hall and open her door. She opened it and then turned to look at me. Just go to bed angel. She smiled again and then walked in and shut the door. Thank God!! I was so ready to attack her. I took a deep breath and stood there longer than I should have.

It was only half past nine and normally I would stay up for a while. I was surprisingly relaxed, except for the strain in my pants, and spending the day with her made me smile again. I slowly walked to my room and couldn't help but smile as I passed her door.
