Coffee Shop

• Chapter 3 •

It's been a couple days since I saw Ethan at work, but in two days we hang out, we are going to see a movie, I don't know what movie yet but i'm really excited. we texted here and there, I was busy with work and I had school soon.
I was currently on my way to the mall to meet Ash there, we wanted to spend the day together since we had off of work today. I wonder if Ethan goes to Starbucks when i'm not working, I wonder if he misses me. Wait what? Misses me? What are you talking about Riley, you aren't even dating him! Not that he would.. But he called me cute? Maybe he was being nice? I shook the thought off as I focused on parking the car.
Once I entered the mall I got a text from Ash, she was in Starbucks, of course, So I just met her over there, once I did she hugged me and handed me a drink, "Thanks Boo." I smiled as we walked around. The first store we hit was H&M, one of my favorite stores. we looked around, I needed some T shirt dresses so I decided to try some on, I picked out a Black one, Maroon one, and a Grey one. Once I grabbed my size I went straight into the fitting rooms and tried them on, they all fit perfectly so I was happy about them, next, I saw a sale on jeans so I picked two pairs out, black ripped jeans, and a light blue pair. H&M rocked today. I searched for Ash so we could pay, she had a few things in hand. " Well you made out like a bandet didn't you?" she laughed. "Heck yeah!" I said holding up a rock on hand sign.
After we paid, we were off to forever 21, another favorite store. Once I got in I immediately noticed the sale on leggings, I dashed over and picked out four pairs. "Holy crap dude!" Ash said as she laughed, picking out some leggings too. "They always have the leggings we need here!" I said as I picked my size, then we looked around more, finding some cute tops. I got a baby pink over sized hoodie that had the word "cool" on the side of the arm. It was so soft too! Next I picked out a red and black flannel and then checked out.
The next store was Rue 21, They had a huge sale today, so I think Ash and I had a blast in here the most so far, We picked out matching outfits which consisted of Denim jeans, I got a half sleeve shirt that was grey and red, Ash got the green and grey half sleeve shirt. Next, I picked out a floral V-neck spaghetti strap crop top and a pair of jeans to go with it, next outfit I picked out was a black off shoulder romper with a pair of cognac braided gladiator sandals to g o with it, lastly, I had to get some undies so I got five pairs for seven fifty, how nifty! I loved this store so much!
After Rue 21, we went to the last store, which was Victoria's Secret, But I only got two Bra's, and some sweat shirts and that was it for me, so I settled on a navy blue and white Bralette, then got a soft pastel purple PINK sweatshirt.
We were on our way out of the mall now, it was late, but only six thirty, the mall closes at seven so we got lucky. "Thank you for the lit shopping day!" I thanked Ash as we hugged and got into our cars to go home. "Welcome bestie! Tell me what happens with Ethan this weekend." She winked, I giggled and rolled my eyes playfully. "Alrighty." I said waving.
On my home, I listened to My chilling down playlist, the first song to play was Mark My Words By Justin Bieber, I sang along as I drove through the city. All of a sudden, my phone rang, good thing I was at a red light, I searched my purse for my phone, looking at the screen, Ethan was calling me! Why now? I wonder. I answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ri, I just was wondering if you wanted to come over now, me and gray are about to watch some movies and I thought you wanted to join, you don't have to if you don't want, I wouldn't want you to not enjoy scar-"
"Ethan, i'm fine with that, I'm on my way home from the mall, so text me your address and I will be over when I can." I laughed, why is he like this?
"Okay cool, see you in a bit." he said hanging up, he sounded so relieved like he didn't think I would want to come over. I chuckled, He's so adorable.
When I got home I put all my new clothes away and got changed into a new pair of leggings and the new sweatshirt from PINK that I got, Took off my makeup and straightened my hair. My parents were asleep so I grabbed my keys and left anyway, I know I will be back, I'm sure they would understand. I got the text from Ethan, he doesn't live far, only ten to fifteen minutes which is great.
When I got to his house, I rang the door bell and waited for the door to open, soon enough, Ethan opened it with a cute ass smile on his face. "Hey!!" He said, as he engulfed me in a big hug, I took in his scent, it was like an ocean type smell, I liked it, a lot. "Come on in, the movie is about to start!" He said as he welcomed me in, I just gave him a smile. "Ri, this is my twin brother Grayson, Grayson this is Riley." I smiled and hugged grayson, he smelled good too! but he was more of a Softer scent. "Gray, go get the food and stuff while I get some blankets, Riley, take a seat any where." Ethan said running up stairs. I took a seat on their very comfy couch while looking around, their house was really nice. "I'm back with food!" Gray said setting the bowls of snacks in front of us, then taking a seat on the couch next to me. "And I'm back with some blankets!" I turn to see Ethan with a bunch of blankets. "So Ri, tell us about yourself." Ethan said giving Gray a blanket, then sitting next to me. "Well, I'm seventeen, I live with my parents but next month i'm getting my own place, I obviously work at Starbucks, I'm gonna be a junior at West Morris High, and thats about it for me, I'm kinda boring." I chuckled. "Really? We are gonna be seniors at West Morris too!" Gray said, We all laughed. "We were schooling online for a while but we want to graduate." Ethan explained as he started the movie. "What movie are we watching?" I asked grabbing some popcorn. "The ring." Ethan said in a spooky voice, I hit his shoulder lightly as we all laughed. "Why? Your not scared are you?" He smirked. "No!" I said grabbing the blanket. "Good." He smiled.
       "Ahh!" I screamed when the girl came out of the tv, I jumped into Ethan's lap, putting my arms around his neck while I tucked my head in the crook of his neck. "I'm Riley, and I'm not scared of the ring, Huhhhhh!" Ethan teased as Gray laughed, I rolled my eyes. " I saw you guys jump too!" I pointed as Ethan held onto me. I kinda felt awkward, but then I got comfortable, he was the cuddly type, I like it.
    After the ring, we decided to watch another movie, It was eleven O'clock at night and I was getting kinda tired, But I don't think I'm gonna fall asleep. "Next movie is.." Gray said, tapping his fingers against the table like the drum. "Vacation! Have you ever seen it before Ri?" Gray asked, playing the movie. I nodded my head yes. "Some of it though." I didn't notice I was cuddling with Eth until I looked up at him, I took in his appearance, He was wearing maroon vans hoodie with a pair of joggers, His hair was a dark brown, with a blue streak in his hair, how cute! Looks like the blue airhead a little kid would eat! He also had a freckle on his cheek, and near his eye, His eyes were emerald green with hazel. I noticed his black stud earrings and cartilage piercing too, I've always wanted my ears re pierced  since they closed but I never got around to it. He noticed me starring, so I smiled up at him as he smiled down at me, All I could do is blush, He just smirked, This cheeky motherfucker.
    Half way through the movie, I started to feel drowsy, My eyes were getting heavy and I could feel my self falling into a deep sleep as a pair of hands wrapped around me, I didn't pay attention to who it was but only one guess hit my mind, Ethan.
