"god im so nervous" i say as i pull in.

"i havent seen him since last year at the last football game" I say.

"just breathee" andrea says. I giggle.

We get out of the car and walk in. Our heads turn and him and his friends are in the back corner laughing.

god he looked so good. he was wearing some grey joggers with a black shirt that showed his muscles off with the blue cancer band that he had tightly around his wrist. it made him look even more tan. He had a white snapback on. with some white vans. He looked good.

Me and andrea start walking up and all eyes turn to us. Ethan was still laughing not knowing whats going on and then he turns his head. our eyes meet and a big smile grew across his face. his eyes light up as he shifts in his chair, fully turning his body to me.

I smile while walking.

"Hi" he says softly and still smiling.

"Hi" i say shyly smiling. I havent seen him in forever. wow.

"im going to get some food, what anything?" andrea says.

"no im good" i say giving her a light smile and sitting down facing ethan.

"aye bro were leaving, will see ya later" some boys says. they do that handshake thing and leave. ethan turns back to me and smiles.

"how are you" he says resting his elbows on his knees while is hands hold is head up.

"im good, how are you" i say smiling.

"im good" he says looking me in the eyes. god I didn't realize how much ive missed him. Im getting butterflies even thinking about it.

"hows school going?" he asks.

"its good, getting boring haha. how about you?" I ask.

"same old stuff" he says giggling. A small giggle escaped my mouth.

"at least its almost summer" I say.

"thats true" he says looking over at andrea ordering food. it was silent for a bit. it was a little akward not gonna lie. we haven't seen eachother in so long. we were both shy. didn't know how to start the conversation off.

"hows your family?" he asks and my heart melts. He was so caring. Him asking about my family made me feel warm inside. knowing that not only does he care on how im doing but my family too. Its nice.

"there great, hows yours? I saw you aunt just had a baby" I say.

"there good and yes she did. she had a boy" he says smiling.

"awhh,, tell her i said congrats" i say smiling.

"i will. you should stop by one day and see him. there alwayyysss over at the house" he says.

"id love that" i say smiling. andrea starts walking over and she's smiling.

"hey e!" she says smiling and sitting down.

"hey A, how are you" he says smiling. They talk and i just listen. well not really. I was just thinking. thinking about everything thats happened in the past 8 hours today.

"soo hows grayson" andrea asks and thats when i zoned back in.

"hes good, he was gonna come up here but mom wanted him home" he says.

"gotchaa" she says.

grayson is ethans twin. Hes just like ethan actually. just a little bit different. hes more on the shy and down low side. hes very kind and loving not that ethan isnt but grayson is just a little bit more on that side. I havent seen him in forever either.

I look at my phone and its time to go home. I have to be home for my brother and sister. since my parents are working.

"andrea you almost done? we have to

go" I say looking at her.

"yeah, let me just refill this" she says standing up and walking to the machine. I grab my keys and wallet and stand up. Ethan stands up and grabs his things.

"im out too, grays asking where i am" he says giggling at the end of his sentence. I giggle.

"it was nice seeing you allison" he says smiling and walking over to me. I smile.

"yeah same" i say and he pulls me into a hug. I tense up a bit...the smell of his cologne takes over me and i instantly relax. my arms wrap around the high end of his waist as he squeezes me and one hand is moving up and down my back.

we slowly move apart and he looks down at me. he was so tall. I wasnt complaining though. tall guys are hot.

"see ya later?" he says as if it was a question.

"yeah, see ya later" I say smiling and standing there as he walks away. He smiles one last time before walking out the door. I just stand there watching him as he walks out. My mind running on what just happened 3 seconds ago.

"I was sooooo not expecting that" andrea says walking past me to go to the car.

"yeah neither was I" i say quietly but im sure she heard.

We get in the car and the wholeee ride home she was talking about how i need to be with ethan and how jackson was just a no and honestly I 1000% agree with her.

I think dating jackson was a mistake. A big one. I dont know what I was thinking. but then again I wouldve never say it coming.

________________________________

"I just think you need to go to ethan" she says as were sitting on my bed.

"i know but i cant just jump into something right after. it's gonna look like he was there the whole time when he wasnt you know?" I say.

"yeah i know, at least text ethan. I know hes dying to talk to you" She says scrolling through netflix and smiling. I shake my head and just look at my phone.

should I really text him? I mean jackson and I are no longer dating and im not jumping into anything im just...talking to him. right?

no i cant. it wouldnt be right. what if jackson finds out and calls me a whore or....you know what im just gonna go for it. Who cares right?

🙄😂

my mom finally gets home and we go downstairs.

"hey mom" i say hoping up on the counter.

"hey Mrs. lee" andrea says doing the same thing.

"hey girls, hows your day been" she says setting her things down.

"pretty good" we both say in sync. we look at eachother and laugh.

"good, hey will you girls do me a favor and go to the store for me?" she asks going through her purse.

"yeah.. what do u need?" i ask. she hands me a list.

"everything that's on there" she says.

"got it" i say hoping down and grabbing my stuff. we head out and my brother was playing basketball with our next door neighbor. Grant and max. Funny cuz ethans middle name is grant.

"hey allison, andrea" they boy say.

"hey" we both say.

"yall wanna go to the store with us?" we both ask.

"we would but we gotta leave soon" they say.

"gotchaa" we say as we get in the car.

"we could ask mark" andrea asks.

mark is a guy that lives in my neighborhood. he's pretty chill to hang with.

"he said he's leaving" andrea says.

"everyones so lame" i say laughing.

"ethan would go" i say giggling.

"text him" she says

"wait. are you serious?" i say looking at her.

"yes" she says laughing. I laugh "okay"

This is gonna be fun!
