Amelia’s P.O.V
“Boy’s help Millie upstairs with her things please?” my Aunt said as we all finished lunch
“Yes, mam,” Ethan said laughing
“Ethan stop calling me mam, you make me feel old. Now run along.” She laughed
Ethan and Matt headed to the hallway and I went to follow but before I could my Aunt Tanya stopped me, making me look at her.
“Was Ethan the reason you were looking flustered?” she asked
“What? Of course not.” I said my voice a little shaky
“You are a terrible liar.” She laughed
“Shh,” I said dismissing her claim
I never said another word before making my way to the hallway to catch up with the guys. They were already halfway upstairs. Only leaving one case for me to take up. I grabbed it, realising they had left me with the heaviest one. How gentleman like of them…not. I grabbed it, trying my best to drag it upstairs but I was not the strongest person in the world.
“Let me help you with that Amelia.” I heard Ethan’s voice say, his voice causing me to shiver as he spoke my name.
I looked up at him, giving him a grateful smile and nodding my head. He took the case from me, motioning me to go up in front of him. I stepped by him, my body brushing against his, causing a quiet whimper to fall from my lips. I really hope he never heard that cause that would be embarrassing. I walked up in front of him, feeling his eyes on from behind as I did.
“Nice ass.” He said, only loud enough for me to hear and no more.
I never responded, instead my face heated up again, making me thankful that I have my back to him right now. I think I have embarrassed myself enough in front of him for one day. I heard him let out a chuckle when I never responded. I was glad when I reached my bedroom.
“Ethan what did you do to her? She is blushing crimson red again.” Matt said as I appeared in front of him
“Nothing,” he replied
Liar! Then again I don’t think it would be a smart idea for him to tell Matt that he told me I had a nice ass. He would end up at the bottom of the stairs if he did. Matt has always been very protective of me since we were little.
“I don’t believe you but OK.” Matt said glaring “Is that everything?” he added looking at me
“There are still two bags in my car but I can get them,” I said
“No don’t be silly. Give me your keys.” He said, “And Ethan please don’t embarrass my cousin while I am gone OK?” He added.
I passed Matt my car keys and he headed away. I was nervous all of a sudden being left alone with Ethan especially when he was standing looking at me. His eyes taking a tour of my body. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable, I was not used to being looked at this way.
“I seem to make you very nervous Amelia. Why is that?” he said stepping in closer to me
“I…I…don't know what you mean.” I stuttered out nervously, fiddling with the material of my jeans, looking everywhere except at him.
“Yes, you do. Look at me, Amelia.” He whispered
I hesitated for a moment before lifting my head to look at him. He was watching me closely, a small smile playing on his lips. A pair of lips that I found myself wanting to kiss which is not like me. I have only ever kissed one boy and that is how experienced I was. The hooking up like every other person at school never appealed to me, not really. Yes, I had crushes but that is far as it went for me. I was not the kind of girl that has guys falling at her feet.
I see Ethan’s arm out the corner of my eye, move, taking place on my hip. I shivered when I felt his hand on me.
“Do you have a boyfriend back home Amelia?” he asked
I shook my head
“Anyone special? Anyone you hook up with? Like?” he asked
Why is he asking me all these questions? Again I shook my head. I see his smile grow on his face when I say this.
“Interesting.” He said smirking
“Why is that interesting?” I said, finally managing to find my words again
“Cause that means I have no one to compete with.” He winked
“Compete with? Compete for what?” I asked confused
“You.” He said simply, shrugging his shoulders
“Me? What does that even mean?” I asked
“You really are innocent and naïve aren’t you?” he said “It means that you are in my sights, Amelia. I am very drawn to you and I do not know why but I am.” He said
Drawn to me? Does he want me? Why? I am sure he has girls lining up for his attention, why would he want me?
“W…w…why?” I said, turning back into a stuttering mess of a girl
“Why what? Why am I interested in you?” he asked and I nod “Cause I think you will be a challenge for me Amelia. I am used to getting what I want, something tells me that will not be the case with you. I like a challenge, Amelia, plus I find you very beautiful.” He said stroking my cheek.
How do you even respond to something like that? I was glad when I heard Matt coming back upstairs. He was quick to move away from me. He was acting like he was not just making a pass at me. I turned away, looking out of the window, not wanting Matt to see my again flushed face.
“Did you manage to behave?” I heard Matt say to Ethan
“Always.” He laughed
I took a few deep breaths, slowly turning around to face them both.
“Amelia come with us tonight?” Matt said
“I am too tired to go anywhere, Matt. Next time maybe.” I said
“Promise?” he asked
“Promise,” I replied
“Good, well we better get going. See you in the morning dork.” He laughed, hugging me
“Goodbye.” I giggled
“See you around Amelia,” Ethan said, winking at me before the two of them left my room
I let out a loud breath as soon as they were out of sight. I had a feeling things were gonna get complicated with Ethan around. I cannot deny that I am attracted to him in ways I have never been attracted to anyone before. I don’t know if that was a good or a bad thing. I guess I will find out since I am here for a year.
