I was lying in bed when I heard my phone vibrate. I unlocked my phone and saw it was a message from an unknown number. I opened the message and it read, +23 5820 27207:
Hey, as weird as this is, I got your number from your Instagram, I have got to admit, I did stalk you a bit... anyway, as cringy as this sounds, hope you won't find me too weird, just wanted to chat to you again. Ethan.
I smiled and typed his name in 'Ethan'
+23 5820 27207 has changed to Ethan.
Skye: Hey, no it's cool, plus nobody could be as weird as me.
Ethan: I doubt it, you look cool.
Skye: Well thank you.
Ethan: No problem.
Skye: So why did you want my number?
Ethan: Well I'd like to get to know you more.
Skye: Ohh I see.
Ethan: So... tell me about yourself. What you like doing... favourite food... favourite colour... anything?
Skye: My favorite thing to do is probably to draw or horse ride, and listen to music. My favorite food has probably got to be pizza. Favorite colour is black. Umm I love heavy metal, I love horses. I'm seventeen. What about you?
Ethan: Wow that's amazing... I'm twenty two. What about family?
Skye: One older brother and two parents.
Ethan: Ahh nice. Boyfriend?
Skye: No boyfriend. I'm as single as a pringle.
Ethan: Why don't you have a boyfriend? You're so pretty.
Skye: Trust me, I'm not. I wear black mostly and I listen to screamo music, and I've got a shitty attitude mixed with an ugly body. No guy wants something like me.
Ethan: What? I think you're b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l and your body is equally as beautiful as you, if I was your boyfriend, I'd feel proud to have such an amazing girl like you by my side. I'd feel honoured.
I blushed heavily at his words. Nobody has ever said this to me. I smiled and continued to type.
Skye: Thank you.
Ethan: My pleasure. And I hope that made you smile?
Skye: Maybe.
Ethan: Just a maybe? Well what would you do if I told you that when the first time I saw you it felt like the world stopped. All I could see was you. You're the only girl that actually made me nervous.
Skye: Fine, you got it right.
Ethan: My mission here is to put a smile on your pretty face.
Skye: Well you've won.
Ethan: I'm glad. What would you say if I asked you out on a date? It's still weekend and tomorrow is sunday. I'd like to take you out?
Skye: I don't know.
Ethan: Ahh come on please? I really want to see you and spoil you.
We drove down the highway and he stopped at an Italian restaurant.
(After the date)
The "date" went perfect. Ethan was perfect. He was funny, sweet, kind and caring. He stopped at the boarding school and I climbed out. It was already dark. He climbed out and walked to me.
"Thank you for today." I say to him and he smiles, revealing his deep dimples.
"Did you at least enjoy it?" He asks and I shake my head. He looked down, looking disappointed and I lift his chin up, so our eyes met.
"It was perfect. I loved every second." I said and he smiled brightly.
"Do you know what else would be perfect?" He asks and I raise my eyebrow.
"What?" I ask and he crashes his lips onto mine. His breathe was minty. He kissed me slowly, but passionately, and I returned the kiss.
Soon he broke away, but it looks like he battled to. I wrapped my arm around his neck and kissed him again. He kissed me back, roughly this time. He slipped his tongue past my lips and I moaned softly, and he smiled against my lips. I felt like I was on fire.
After a while, we pulled away.
"That was more than perfect." He says and I nod my head, agreeing.
"Goodnight Skye." Ethan says and wraps his arm around my waist and hugs me close. I hug him back.
"Sleep well beautiful." He says and kisses my forehead. I smile and kiss his cheek, and walk inside.
Today was good.
That voice in my head was louder. Who wanted me so badly? And the voice sounded angry.
