Chapter 12 : Sing For Me.
-------------------
Softly I strummed the chords of the guitar, my voice fragile as I sang along to Demi Lovato's voice. I fell in love with Catch Me. In my opinion it fits my situation very well.
Before I fall too fast,
Kiss me quick but make it last.
So I can see how badly this will hurt me,
When you say goodbye,
Keep it sweet keep it slow
Let the future pass and don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon
Under this beautiful moonlight
But you're so hypnotizing
You got me laughing while I sing
You got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me...
I sighed as I fell onto my bed hopelessly. Tanner is driving me crazy! I can't get him out of my head. He captivated my mind as well as my heart.
I jumped off as I heard somebody clap, "Nice voice. Though you shouldn't have gone through that much trouble to tell me how you feel about me."
"Ethan. What the hell are you doing here?"
"What? Can I be here or not?"
"I prefer if you didn't," I mumbled.
He lifted my chin with his index finger, "What is that?"
"Nothing!" I said rolling my eyes, "Mind telling me what are you doing here?"
"According to your parents 'studying'."
"Get out Ethan."
"I'm hurt Essence,"
"So was I when you ignored me the second day you've been at school!"
"I had my reasons,"
I put my hands on my hips, "Mind explaining?"
"Do you mind changing?"
I looked at my clothes, "I'm jus wearing shorts and a tanktop."
"And it's having a bad effect on me,"
I blushed and went to my closet. I pulled out black skinny jeans and a blue nerd domo shirt. After I changedd and let my hair down I turned to Ethan, "Ready to explain?"
He ruffled his hair, "I'm not good with dealing with being hated. I freak out I guess, I've never been hated."
"Poor kid," I muttered sarcastically.
"Dude,"
I held up my hands, "Sorry."
He grinned and I smiled. Why does his smile have to be infectious?
He laid down on my bed, "So what's up?"
"The usual, a crazy guy walked into my room made me change and is about to pass out on my bed."
"Funny," He mumbled.
"Ethan, you need to leave."
"Why?"
"Tanner is coming soon,"
"And?"
"And he's my boyfriend,"
"Boyfriend, smfhfiend."
"Ethan,"
"Dude, why do you like the guy?"
"Why do you keep calling me dude!" I wondered out loud, I smiled, "He's sweet."
"Just sweet?"
"Caring."
"Your boring me here Essence,"
I slapped his arm, "He's funny, musician, doesn't abondon me, really cute. Shall I go on?"
"Oh please, don't mind me." He mumbled sarcastically, "I'd love to hear you drone on and on."
"Get out,"
"No."
"Why!?" I whined.
"I want to meet him,"
I groaned, "What are you? My dad?"
My door slammed open and in walked Tanner. And damn did he look pissed.
Ethan raised his head lazily, "Hey dude,"
I groaned, I freaking hate the word 'dude' now.
Tanner wrapped an arm around my waist, "What do you want?"
"Just came by,"
He cocked an eyebrow, "And you just decided to randomly stop by at my girlfriend's house?"
I blushed and hid my face on his chest, Ethan snorted, "Really? I've never seen you around."
Tanner laughed, "Yes you did."
"Whatever, I'm out."
He pecked my cheek and smirked, "Ta ta Essence."
"IswearTannerwedidn'tdoanything!I'msorry!Youprobalyhatemerightnow!I'msorr-"
Tanner chuckled and ruffled my hair affectionately, "Slowly, lovev."
I blushed again, "Sorry."
He laughed smoothly and held my hands, "I got something to tell you."
My heart dropped, does he finally want to break up our fake relationsip?
He sat down on my bed and sat me down on my lap, "I really don't know how to say this."
"So sing it,"
He grinned before singing.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I cried our song.
He kissed my falling tears, "I love you Essence Evans."
"I love you too Tanner Sharpe,"
Then he pressed his lips on mine softly.
