The date I have to say was pretty cliché. But I had a lot of fun. After the movie Ethan and I just started walking around and talking. I actually feel like I've known Ethan all my life. There wasn't any awkward silences or those moments where you run out of what to say. We just kept talking and laughing. And the best part is, I didn't think of Emmett the entire time. I'd like to give myself a little pat on the back for that.
*pat *pat *pat
When Ethan dropped me off, he looked like he didn't want me to go. Kinda like a puppy. Aw. I was gonna get out of the car but Ethan held his hand up for me to stop and quickly got out of the car. I gave him a confusing look and watched as he attempted to slide across the car but failed immensely and fell off the hood. I tried to hold in a laugh but I couldn't and busted out laughing. He got up and brushed himself off with a slight blush on his cheeks. He went to my side of the door and opened it trying to be a gentleman. double aw.
I giggled a little but said "thank you Ethan" and gave him a smile. He smiled back at me and closed the door once I got out.
He walked me to the front of my door and we both stopped and looked at each other.
"Thank you for tonight..um you know for taking me out on a... Date?" I said awkwardly
"Ha um no problem. Thanks for letting me take you out on a date?" He said rubbing his neck awkwardly
"Um this is a date right?" I blurted out and covered my mouth. Ethan chuckled and smirked at me
"I take that back, I mean if you just wanna be friends that's fine, you know friendship rules and all that stuff. Wow look at the time." I look at my invisible watch on my wrist. "It's reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy late, yeah okay." I turn on my heels and rush inside closing the door on Ethans very confused face. I lean against the door and bite my lip.
Smooth Nicole. Really Smooth.
But the door bell rang and without thinking I open the door and see a smirking Ethan in front of me.
"You're cute when you rant Nicole." He smirks
"Um no. Psh that wasn't a rant. It was a very fast conversation of nothing." I bite my lip while laughing awkwardly
"No...pretty sure that was a rant, or a form of you blabbering." He smiles and chuckles at me
"Ummmm yeah.. Okay byeeeee." I try to shut the door but his foot stops it from closing.
"Nicole.." He drawls out
"HI" I peak through the crack of the door
"Open the door please" He says sweetly. So I do as he asks
"You really need to stop slamming doors in peoples faces." He tsks at me
"Sorry" I put my head down and look at the floor. He puts his fingers on my chin gently and lifts it up so I'm looking into his eye. Oh lord.
"Nicole, it was a date and I want to tell you I had a lot of fun. I hope to do it again." He whispered to me calmly, while he was leaning in.
"Date. Oh date. Uh yay?" I say not really knowing how to think like I'm basically in a trance. Before I know it our lips meet. Cue the fireworks. Fireworks? Where are you? Right. There are no fireworks. I feel nothing. Great. I think Ethan senses that I don't like it and pulls back. He looks disappointed and a pang of guilt hits me.
"I'm so sorry Ethan." I trail off
"No it's perfectly fine. Can't blame a guy for trying though" he shrugs
"I really thought I liked you." I said in a guilty tone
"No it's fine. But I really hope we can hang out you know, cause you are fun to be around..." He trailed off
"I'd like that" I smiled
"Okay, well I'm gonna go try mend my broken heart back together" He holds his heart dramatically
"Ugh. Ethan I really am sorry!" I practically whined. Ew. I whined.
"I'm just joking." He smirks at me. And with that he turned around and left. I closed the door only to be met with a very pissed off Emmett.
"Um. HI?" I sheepishly ask
"Don't you hi me." He snaps
I cringed from how pissed off he sounded
"What crawled up your ass and died" I asked annoyed
"Oh I don't know the fact that we kiss and you go on a date after." He snaps again
"OH don't you dare do that to me. You have a GIRLFRIEND Emmett. Do you not understand that?" I practically yell at him
"So?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows together
"So? SO? You're joking right? Please tell me you are joking!" I ask him and he just stares at me like I'm suppose to carry on
"Un-freaking believable. Emmett when you get a girlfriend you are suppose to stay faithful and not kiss another girl. Especially your bestfriend." I sigh
"But what if I want to kiss my bestfriend." I he smirks
"THAT'S STILL NOT OKAY EMMETT!" I yell
"Aw." He pouts. My god I can't handle this anymore
"EMMETT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT RESTRICTIONS YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN IN A RELATIONSHIP" I exasperate
"But Lauren is so hot." He pouts again. That's it i'm done.
My hand must have a mind of its on because I slapped Emmett across the face so fast I didn't even process it until Emmett looked at me with both shock and anger
"What the fuck was that for?!" He practically screamed at me
"For being a douche." I say and run towards my bedroom. I didn't even realize that I was crying till I reached my bedroom.
I heard foot steps outside my door. Emmett started knocking and yelling for my name but I didn't want to hear it. It sucks knowing that I've fallen in love with a man whore. Probably the reason I'm crying right now. I cry and I keep crying until I hear a click and the door slowly open.
"Nicky?" He slowly asked
I don't answer. I don't have the energy to argue or even speak to him. I just cry silently.
"Nicky are you mad?" He asks
Nope. Not answering you.
"Nickyyyyy" He drawls out and I feel my bed dip a little
"I don't want to speak to you right now Em." I say in my pillow
"But I don't know why you're so mad!" He exasperated. I quickly sit up.
"You don't know why I'm mad?! I'm mad because I chose to fall in love with a complete asshole that's why!" I scream at him
"Y-You love me?" He asked surprised
"Yeah I loved you. Loved, because I have no idea why my heart chose you out of all people to love." I say angrily
"But Nicky-" I cut him off
"You have a girlfriend. I want you to be happy with her. We are going to act like this never happened and I will pretend I didn't just spill my heart to you. Because I'd rather not go through a roller coaster of mixed emotions with you. It's not worth it. It's gonna suck but it's for the better." I say in a final tone
"But I'm not happy with her.." He trails off making my head whip to him really quickly
"Your not?" I ask confused
"Nope, But I wanna be with some one who may or may not have just confessed that they are in love with me..." He trails off and stares at me intently
"Ummm. Ummmm." I say looking everywhere but him. But before I can respond our lips are on each other. He pulls away after a few moments leaving me stunned.
"I'll see you tomorrow," He says and exits my room
"wait-" I'm cut off by the door slamming. He said he wanted to be with me, kissed me but didn't even try to tell me that he was going to break up with Lauren. What? Stupid mixed signal sending asshole. I need to get back at him.
I start brainstorming ideas and one hits me. He wants to send me all these mixed signals and play with me? Well let the games begin.
