Daisy's Pov

It's been three moths since the ball at Agnor's. Three full months of thinking about what to do next, three months trying to get my shit together, three months since Ethan confessed to me, three months of me trying to keep his thoughts out my head. And three full months of failing miserably.

Ironic, right?

After the night at Micah's, I haven't seen them again nor did Ethan tried to come closer to me or contact me.

Never would I have thought that my life would take a roll like this, being pathetic was never in my list but unknowingly I turned to be.

He told me that he will wait, wait for me. But can he? Not for long,that's what he said before parting away that night. I wonder what he meant by it. Did he mean that he will not wait for long and move on? It can be right?

Will he really move on? I mean..not that I have forgiven him yet but just the thought of seeing him with someone else makes my stomach twist in knots. Bile rises itno my throat just by the thought of it. What should I do? What should I do?

I am currently at my apartment, lazing around on my couch in pajamas with a bucket of half melted chocolate ice-cream. The scene of Jack drowining with Titanic playing on TV, I sniff wiping tears from my face. I might be looking like a monkey, with my hair disheveled and tears running down my cheek.

I heard my door bell ring, who might beon sunday? I put my fluffy slippers placing bucked of half melted ice-cream down and walk towards the door.

" Who is it?" I asked through the intercom when no one came into view.

Suddenly a head came into view smiling brightly at the camera waving his hands. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of familiar blue eyes and dimpled cute smile. He was pointing at the door for me to open.

Its been three months I last saw him, him coming at my door at Sunday afternoon is a surprise to me. I inhaled deeply and opened the door, his was standing in a black down shirt with a sexy smile and his eyes twinkling with life.

" What- what are you doing here?" I managed to ask, I didn't even realize what a mess I looked right now.

He looked over at me top to bottom, making me fidgety," You look..." he rubbed the rip of his nose thinking for right words.

" Like a truck run over me?" I asked unsure.

He shook his head giving me a grin," No..you look like lazy kid"

Well, I was really lazing around though.

" Here" he extended his hand for me, there was a small bag in his hand. I looked at his hand then at his face, not sure why he suddenly came out of nowhere to my apartment.

" What is it?" I did not take the bag from him instead folded my hands around my chest to stop my hands from fidgeting under his gaze.

He smiled," It is housewarming gift."

" Huh?" I scrunched my nose in confusion," Housewarming gift?"

" Yep, housewarming gift is a gift given to neighbours when we move into new house so tha..."

" I know, I know what housewarming gift is. I am not dumb okay" I cut him off.

" Oh, you know?" he said with a feigning surprise.

Damn...is he trying to irritate me?

" What do you exactly want, Ethan?" I sighed.

He shook his head," I swear I don't want anything. I am just giving house warming gift to my new neighbour"

My eyes widened in surprise," Neighbor? Who? You? The last time I checked the apartment opposite to mine is vacant"

" It was, not anymore" he smiled with a glimmer in his blue eyes," I have moved in, please do take care of your new neighbor ."

" What? How-why are you living opposite to me?" I asked confused.

" Can I come in I need a drink?" he questioned back.

" No.." but before I could say anything else he walked passed me into the living room." Hey..how can you barge into someone home like that? This is robbery" I chased after him.

He looked around the room and sat down on the couch which I was previously eating on. The half melted ice-cream had fully melted now, he looked at the bucked then at me shaking his head.

" Hey are you insulting me in my own home?" I angrily stood in front of him with hands on my hips," And how can you be so shamless to barge into someone's home without permission?"

He ignored me and opened the paper bag which he had brought with him, taking out a food container and opened it. I gulped at the sight of delicious chopuey noodles, I am a little hungry.

I ignored the increasing hunger and looked at him," Why are you here? And didn't you say you will stay away from me.?"

"Did I say that?" he blinked at me ," I don't remember it all"

" Not exactly but..but you said will wait for me.." I unconsciously blurted out, immediately regretting it. I sounded like a desperate bitch.

" Yeah I said I will wait for you, but did I also say that I won't wait for too long?" he stalking towards me ." Time's up, Buttercup. I gave enough time to think."

What enough time? It was only 3 months okay, not three years. He is making it seem like I am the unreasonable one.

" You-you what are you coming so close for?" he walked towards me taking slow steps, I felt like a deer trapped in headlights. His eyes were slightly narrowed and his lips curved into a cocky smirk, why do I sense danger in that smirk?

Damn..since when did I turn out to be such a pussy?

I gulped when he stood directly in front of me just few steps away from me, his eyes contained a mischievous glint, his eyes flickered to my lips and then to my eyes making me remember the kiss we shared months ago. Damn..hormones..

I held my breathe when he bent a little moving his face closer to mine, his breathe hitting my face making me wanting to squirm in my place. I resisted the urge to breathe in his intoxicating scent, before I could make a move to push him away he raised his hand brushed his thumb against the corner of my lips making me freeze on the spot and my eyes wide.

He moved away standing straight and looked at his thumb shaking his head," You can't even eat properly"

I blinked...once, twice, thrice looking at him blankly, noticing my blank look he said," You had ice-cream at the corner of your mouth." he slightly narrowed his eyes a stupid smirk plasted on his face," What were you thinking? You thought I was going to kiss you"

I opened my mouth but nothing came out making me look like fish gaping for water.

" Don't worry I won't kiss you, until you ask for it" after saying that he turned around and flooped down on my couch picking up the remote to search for movies.

Why do I feel like I am the guest and he is owner? Damnit..

" Hey what are you doing in my house? You gave your gift, now get lost" I stood in front him to stop him from searching movies.

" I want to watch a movie too, my TV haven't been fixed yet. So I am borrowing yours" he calmly leaned on the couch putting his legs on the table.

" I won't allow it. " I gritted looking at how calm he was.

" Come on, Buttercup. I am your neighbor after all and you can't be rude to your neighbor." he shook his head and sighed his head as if I was being unreasonably stuborn.

I gritted my teeth to stop myself from cursing out loud," You know right, that this is forcible abduction. I can sue for this."

" Hey come on, it cannot be called abduction, we call it abduction when a person is forcibly taken away, I am sitting at your home and you are free to do whatever you want." he innocently said with a smile," And if you wish you can even do anything to me"

Hehe...

" You sure won't regret it right? 'Cause I really want to bang your head right now? Can I do that?" I gave a tight lipped smile.

" How about banging me instead?" he smirked wiggling his eyebrows at me.

Fuck..I really want to wipe that smirk out of his face. Why didn't I know that this person can be so shameless before?

" ETHAN...you pervert.." I hissed glaring at him.

" Why are you getting so workep up for? I just suggested okay, if you don't want to, then how about I bang y...." before he could say anything more embarrassing I picked up the bucket of melted ice cream and dumped on his head, emptying all the sticky ice cream solution on his head.

Brown sticky and slippery liquid slide down his head in slow motion. The syrupy ice cream solution flowed all the way from his head to his nose bridge , to his lips and neck then disapperaing into his black shirt. His hair turned sticky as well.

He was rooted at his place frozed stiff without blinking. I laughed out loud mersilessly throwing my head back. He looked damn funny. The melted ice cream was so sticky that even looking at it made me gag.

Hearing my laughter he whipped his head towards me staring at me with unreadable eyes. I couldn't stop laughing at his sight. A smile appeared on his face the corner of his lifting making his face radiant. I stopped laughing and stared at him and he too did the same. The atmosphere turned stiff all of sudden.

He awkwardly cleared his throat and looked away," I-I will go change, it's sticky" after that he stood up and walked away taking a last glance at me.
