"Sweetie," my mom hummed softly as she knocked on my door. Then she cracked it and peeked in,"Sean and I are going out. You'll be here with Ethan. Be nice," she said sternly. I nodded and she smiled. After they left I headed to Ethan's room.

"Ethan. I'm watching a movie. Do you want to join?" I wasn't sure if I wanted him to say yes or no but my mom said I need to be nice so I offered.

He opened the door and we stared at each other. He was shirtless and his abs were as ripped as I pictured. Veins defined themselves in his arm and his jawline...well who needs a knife when you have him. His messy hair and dark eyes kept me from looking away.

"Ok," he simply said. We walked downstairs and I rummaged through their movies.

"Can you make us popcorn?" He didn't answer, just headed to the kitchen. Then I heard popping.

He came out with the popcorn and caught me struggling with the dvd player.

"How do you work this?" I asked. He laughed. I felt him lean over me and guide my hand to the right buttons. His hot breath sent chills down my spine.

We sat down on the couch but not near each other. We weren't that close yet. I yawned and leaned over so my head was on his thigh. I didn't care if he was uncomfortable.

Ethan tucked my short bangs behind my ear and rubbed my back. Our parents had come home early and barged in through the front door. I sat up quick.

"What are you guys doing?" my mom asked.

"Watching a movie," we said in unison. Even though my mom probably wouldn't suspect if something was going on, I still didn't want her asking questions. Our parents headed to bed and I could barely keep my eyes open.

The last thing I remember was Ethan picking me up bridle style and walking to the stairs.
