Runaway

Chapter 27: Mia

I wake up in an unfamiliar bed but once I get my bearings and I'm actually awake, I know that I'm in Ethan's bed... again. I had such a wonderful time yesterday with him, watching the sunset and that kiss by the lake had me feeling all kinds of things. But he was so understanding when I slowed things down. Seriously I have never met a guy like him before. My worries are slowly disappearing but I am still skeptical because do I really know him or is this all an act.

I really want to believe that he is being genuine but I still have my doubts. He didn't try anything last night even though when he walked out of the bathroom, I felt all kinds of things mainly between my legs. When he walked out in just a pair of low hanging shorts that sat on his hips, I couldn't help but stare and I know he caught me too. But his chest, I have never seen anything like it, the abs and then the V that lead down below his shorts arggghhh. I couldn't help but cuddle up to him when he got into bed even after he offered to sleep in the couch. I couldn't let him do that, I didn't want him to do that. My fingers automatically went straight to his chest and I started aimlessly running my fingers over him. I felt safe and honestly I had the best nights sleep in a long time. His bed is so much more comfy than mine and it smells like him.

I pull myself out of his bed and notice a note on the side table.

There is a spare toothbrush in the bathroom and fresh towels. Feel free to grab one of my shirts if you want. See you soon. Ethan

I smile at the note that he left me as I make my way into his bathroom where I see a set of fluffy towels on the counter with a toothbrush on top. I pull my hair into a messy bun as I really don't want it to get too wet and jump into the shower. After washing myself with his bodywash, I hop out and get ready for the day. I brush my teeth and I decide that I really do want a clear shirt to wear so dressed in just my bra and leggings that I had on yesterday, I exit the bathroom and make my way over the Ethan's drawers.

I'm searching through his drawers to try and find something on the smaller size "Oh shit, sorry, I'll just wait out here umm while you finish getting dressed, sorry" and then I hear the door close. I quickly grab the first shirt I get my hands on and go to the door and open it up to find Ethan standing there looking at the ground with a slight red tinge on his cheeks.

"Sorry I should have knocked before I came in" he said sheepishly still not looking me in the eyes.

"It's your room Ethan, it's ok." I say back to him as he finally raised his head. I lean in and give him a kiss on the cheek "Good morning, how are your skate?" I can tell he was shocked by that move but it just felt right to me.

"Not too bad. Would you like some breakfast, I'm cooking?" he smiles at me as he walks into his room and puts down the bag that he was carrying. I nod and head towards the stairs. I feel his hand come onto the small of my back and I start to get butterflies over the simple gesture. "My shirt looks good on you by the way" he whispers in my ear as we reach the bottom of the stairs.

Making our way towards the kitchen I can hear voices. When we round the corner I see Alex and Sienna sitting on the stools with coffee in hand "Woohoo our chef has arrived" Sienna basically yells with excitement "Oh hey Mia, didn't realise that you where here" she looks at me with a massive grin on her face.

"Hey, yeah I feel asleep while we were watching a movie last night" not really knowing what else to say. Ethan goes into the kitchen towards the fridge and starts pulling out all this food, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, spinach, mushroom and capsicum "Anything I can do to help?" I ask

"Trust me, just let him cook, he loves it" Alex answers on Ethan's behalf, so I take a seat next to Sienna just as Ethan places a coffee in front of me. "Thank you"
