Stealing the bad boys heart

Chapter Six - Giving in

Ethan’s P.O.V

I rushed downstairs into the basement, hoping Matt was still sound asleep. I can’t believe we fell asleep, that was the last thing I was meant to do but I was that comfortable laying there with Amelia. I am not surprised we fell asleep.

“Dude where you been?” I heard Matt say

Shit! I looked at him, seeing him rubbing his eyes and stretching and relaxed a little cause that tells me he only woke up moments ago. Thank Christ.

“I was getting a drink of water,” I said lying through my teeth to him

I hated lying to him. We don’t lie to each other but I can’t exactly tell him I fell asleep in Amelia’s bed with her. I would be a dead man for sure. I was glad I was a good liar since I had to do a lot of lying to my parents and girls.

“What time is it?” he asked

“Ten thirty,” I said

“Still early. I am going back to sleep.” He groaned

“OK buddy, well I am hungry, gonna grab some food. See you late afternoon.” I laughed

He never responded, already fell back asleep. I have never met someone that can fall asleep as quick as he can. I chuckled, shaking my head before heading through to the kitchen. This place was like a second home to me. They treat me like part of the family cause they know I don’t have that with my real family, plus Matt and I have been friends since we were four years old.

I arrived at the kitchen, going straight to the fridge, looking for something to eat. I grabbed some fruit and yoghurt, turning around to see Amelia sitting at the breakfast bar giggling.

“How long have you been there?” I asked

“Since you walked in, you walked straight by Me,” she said with a small pout on her lips

“Sorry I was that hungry I need even noticed, sorry,” I said embarrassed that I completely ignore her

“It’s OK.” She smiled “I am guessing you never got caught cause you are still alive?” she added, trying not to laugh. 

“No, that was a close one.” I laughed, sitting across from her. 

I looked up at her, her red hair was a little messy. Her eyes a little puffy from not long wakening up and she had no make-up. I know she only wears a little make-up, in my opinion, though she looks better without any make-up at all. I smiled as I let my eyes study her for a moment. I see her cheeks turn red as she looked away from me.

“Why are you staring at me?” she said timidly

“Sorry. You just look really beautiful right now.” I said reaching across the table, placing my hand over hers

“I don’t think so.” She said, shaking her head

“I do think so,” I replied

She looked up at me, looking me straight in the eye. I sighed as I got lost in her light blue eyes. I don’t know how I am gonna keep away from her especially since I am here more than at home. I stay here at least four times a week. It isn't gonna be easy to move on from her and keep a distance when I see her all the time especially when she starts at the same school too. I will see her every day. I lifted my hand, brushing her cheek with my thumb. 

“Ethan please don’t,” she whispered, closing her eyes over

I knew she was right I should not be doing this. I quickly pulled away, 

“Sorry,” I said leaning back on the stool

She slowly opened her eyes, looking at me once again. I licked my lips without meaning to as I looked back at her. The look in her eyes was bringing me to the edge. I got lost in them right up until the moment she pulled away from me.

“Do you want a coffee or a tea?” she asked, walking away from away

“Coffee please,” I replied

I knew she was trying to avoid me. I turned around on the stool, looking at her. My eyes falling on her ass again and bare legs. I groaned as I looked at her. I don’t understand what this girl is doing to me. I have never liked anyone this way. I have never really been one for relationships and love due to seeing how bad it was with my parents. I cannot understand why they are even still together. They hate each other. What is the point of being with someone you hate? The one that is wrong for you when you can go out find the right one? Why choose to miserable?

Before I knew what I was doing I stood up, making my way over to Amelia. I stood behind her and wrapping my arms around her from behind. She whimpered, her body automatically relaxing into my touch.

“Ethan, what are you doing?” she asked

“This,” I whispered swinging her around to face me, reaching in and pressing my lips against hers.

She froze for a moment but after that, she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. I placed one of my hands on her cheek. The other on the small of her back, holding her against me, not wanting to give her the chance to run away from me. I ran my tongue gently over her bottom lip, hoping she would give me the access I needed into her mouth. She let out a soft moan, parting her lips. I slid my tongue into her mouth, finding hers. 

Amelia soon started moving her tongue in sync with mine. The kiss was slow and gentle. A kind of kiss I don’t usually give but with her, I wanted to. She was making me breathless with her lips being this close to mine. I pushed her against the kitchen counter, stepping in and pressing my body against her, not in a s****l way, more in a sensual way. I found the need to want to be closer to her.

The kiss lasted a few minutes before we pulled apart. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at me with a shocked look on her face. I smiled as I see her swollen lips and flushed cheeks.

“Why did you do that?” she breathed out

“Cause I wanted too. I know I should not have but I got a strong urge to kiss you, so I did it.” I said

“But.” She started, never finishing what she was gonna say

“I know I should not have.” I said, “Did you not like it?” I added, confused on the way she was looking at me.

I could not work out what it meant which made me panic. I took a step back from her. I stood waiting for her to reply…she never. She stood there in complete silence, looking at me. I see her open her mouth then close it over again.

“Sorry, won’t do it again,” I said turning, walking away from her

“Ethan wait?” she called after me

I knew I should have stopped and turned to her but I never, instead I walked away, heading back down to the basement. I can’t do that again, kiss her like that. I can’t break the bro code that way again. The kiss was enough to make me want her even more. I can’t let that happen. I am gonna just have to keep my distance from her, ignore her if I need cause I don’t want this coming between Matt and me. No girl is worth that. I will just need to find ways to distract myself from her.
