we landed
ethan gently shook me to wake me up.
"we are here."
"oh" I said still waking up.
"I'm going to miss you ethan" I follow up
"yeah" He said "I'm going to miss you too"
"hey rem"
"yeah?"
"what part of new York are you staying in?"
"buffalo" I said "you?"
"really? me too" He said excitedly "wanna go out sonetime?"
"yeah, YEAH!" this whole conversation happening as we walk off the plane
"okay text me" He gave me his number
he then turned and hugged me tightly.
"please be in contact with me" He pleaded
"sure thing" I replied as we went our separate ways.
I arrived at my hotel and once I unpacked I sat on the bed and texted ethan
me; hey ;)
ethan ❤; hey
me; I miss you when you wanna go on that date?
Ethan ❤; it's a date?
me; Oh uhm
Ethan ❤; of course it's a date
me; of you had me worried😶
Ethan ❤; how's tomorrow at about 6
me; perfect😊
Ethan ❤; okay get some sleep beautiful
me; okay cutie see you tomorrow goodnight
man it was a good day. his smile makes me feel some type of way. I can't wait to see it tomorrow.
I went to bed. and when it came morning I woke up and got dressed into a black high-waisted skirt, a white dotted blouse, black tights, high heel black boots and curled hair
I caught a taxi to a rental car place and once I was there I walked in and rented a 2016 mercedes benz G-wagon
I got in the benz and drove to my sisters place
I knocked on her door.
"abby?"
I walk in.
I hear her laughing so I walk back to her room.
"abby?" I call again
then I see her having a tickle fight with what looks like her new boyfriend. eventually he stops tickling her and they both lay on the floor laughing.
soon her boyfriend gets up
"hi I'm grayson" He says still laughing
I start laughing too
"hey I'm Remmington" I say shaking his hand
"my brother should be here soon. sorry for the wait." grayson says
"oh I don't mind"
knocking occurs at the door
"oh it must be ethan"
ethan?
grayson opened the door.
Ethan looked at me in shock.
"Remmington this is my brother ethan."
"oh yeah I know him we-"
ethan cut me off
"we bumped into eachother at the airport and I helped her pick up some papers"
"oh it's cool you guys know eachother" grayson said turning around.
I shot a look of disapproval and disappointment at ethan.
was he embarrassed of me?
"so this is my girlfriend abby" "abby this is ethan...my brother"
well I guess abby saw the look i shot at ethan because
"Remmington can i talk to you?"
abby took my hand and pulled me to the kitchen
"are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I stated
"Remmington no you're no you're not."
"I am" I said with tears forming in my eyes.
this was not only from the rejection I was feeling but many other things
"no Remmington don't cry"
"I can't help it. with dad and everything and now this"
"what is 'this'?"
"ethan asked me on a date tonight and we sat on the plane together and got lunch and stuff and now he is acting like he's embarrassed of me."
"oh there is probably a reason Remmington. if he's anything like ethan he's loving and caring now wipe your eyes and get out there."
"okay" I said wiping my eyes.
I walked back out my eyes red.
"It's nice to meet you again ethan" I sniffled but I forced a smile.
"you too Remington"
"heh" I tried to laugh
"I think im gunna go" I say
"what you just got here"
"I'm sorry grayson. is it okay if I come over again tomorrow?"
"yeah that's fine" He replied
i hugged abby and made my way out
i began to drive back to my hotel and once I got there I threw my hair up into a messy bun, put on leggings and a sweatshirt.
at about 8 at night there was a knock on my room door.
"what?" I yelled
"I'm here"
i opened the door
"why?"
"our date"
He was in tux and holding flowers
"I didn't know we were still going "
"get ready" He said smiling "i'll wait"
I ran back to my room straightened my hair and put on a short royal blue dress with black heels
at 840 I run back out
"I'm ready" I smile spinning around
"woah" ethans eyes grow wide "gorgeous"
"thank you" I say blushing
he hands me the flowers and offers me his hand. I take it.
"why did you pretend like we didn't have something infront of grayson"
"because grayson is weird about me dating people in relation to people he's dating"
"oh"
"did i make you cry when I did that?"
"well it was a part of my crying but not the soul reason"
"oh. Okay I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you"
"It's okay"
we make our way to the restaurant
"why are you doing this for me?"
"because you deserve a good guy and I want to make up for how I acted earlier"
I blushed
we sat down and I told him what else contributed to my crying
"I'm sorry I was over emotional today" I say
"no its fine id rather you show your true emotions" He grabbed my hand and smiled
"It's just my mom left when I was 3 and my dad just passed away."
"oh I'm so sorry" He said as he squeezed my hand
"It's okay" I say as my voice cracked and tears start falling one by one down my cheeks
ethan got up and slid into my side of the booth wrapping both of his arms around me allowing me to bury my face in his chest. he said nothing. he just let me let it all out. and sometimes that exactly what need.
I looked up at him and he looked down at me and grabbed my cheeks. he used his thumbs to wipe the tears from under my eyes.
"thank you" I whisper
and hug him very intensely
"no need to thank me. I would do anything for you"
when we were done dinner we headed back to my hotel room.
"thank you for everything"
"so what are we?" ethan asked
"what do you want to be"
"I want you to be mine"
"that's good because I want to be yours"
He grabbed me and pulled me in forcing me to put my arms around him as we kissed.
when we were done I stepped back and bit my lip
"i'll see you tomorrow?" ethan asked
I looked down at my feet and blushed
"yeah of course"
I closed the door behind him... what a night.
