It was after school on a Monday, and I was alone and sorting through my locker. I was relieved the day was over as it had been a particularly long one, after having to sit through two fucking hours of Mr-I can't-stay-on-topic-for-the-life-of-me, drone on about his second divorce. 

Let's just say our history teacher was an oversharer...

 On the Brightside, I had the day off work today, so at least I wouldn't have to deal with the nightmare that was Sugar Shake.

As I was deep in thought, I jumped in surprise as I felt a pair of muscular arms wrap themselves around my waist and a warm body press against my back.

 I instantly knew the hands belonged to Ethan, from the distinct aroma of his masculine cologne.

 "Hello, sexy girlfriend," he whispered huskily against my ear, his warm creating goosebumps against my skin.

 I giggled and turned around to face him. I found him mere inches away from me and smiling down at me with a toothy grin. I watched as his eyes affectionately roamed over my face before he fixated his gaze on my lips. He looked down at me with a smirk before he leaned in about to descend his mouth on to my own.

 I really wanted to let him kiss me, but sadly, I couldn't. I placed two hands on his chest and pushed him away from me. He looked down at me in confusion.

"Your statement was half correct, you're right that I'm sexy, but I'm not your girlfriend," I winked.

 He rolled his eyes at me. "I can't believe we're still playing this game," he sighed in exasperation.

 "It's not a game. I'm serious," I said, despite the fact, there was a massive smile on my face. 

"Please, Mia, I just want to kiss you," he whined in annoyance.

 "And you can as soon as you ask me a certain question," I sang. 

"No," he snapped as he crossed his arms like a stubborn child. 

"That's fine with me, I quite like being single. I wonder if Henry is busy. He was hot, wasn't he?" I said with a mischievous smirk.

 I brushed past him and walked away as though I was going out to look for Henry. It took all of a nanosecond for him to grab me my wrist and pull me back.

 "Hey, that's not funny," he scowled.

 "What made you think I was joking?" I smirked, as I stared up at him with a challenging spark in my eyes.

I gasped in surprise as he quickly spun me around and pinned me roughly against the lockers. 

"You're my girlfriend, not his," he snapped.

 My heart jumped in excitement at the appearance of his possessive side.

 I know, I know, I shouldn't be purposely provoking him but sue me, it was hot to see him like this. 

God was I tempted to ruin everything there and drag him into an empty classroom with me and lock the door. 

"Well, I could be all yours, if you just ask me a certain question," I said persuasively as I tauntingly bit my lip.

 He glared at me for a few seconds before his face softened, and he moved back a little. "Okay, fine, whatever. You win Mia," he mumbled in defeat.

I smiled up at him triumphantly, happy that I finally managed to wear him down. 

He then did something really bizarre and entwined his hand with mine before getting down on one knee.

 "Erm...Ethan. Get up. What the hell are you doing?" I hissed in embarrassment as I looked around anxiously at all the people in the corridor, who were starting to stare at us.
