Ethan's p.o.v

I watched her as she shook her head and laughed irresistibly on a joke I made about our first meeting.

"What can I say; I fell on my ass when I saw you so I blamed Pebble."

She kept on laughing and I felt a weird feeling in my stomach. Oh boy, what was she doing to me.

Not to mention the way she was dressed. She looked cute in her school skirt uniform but this skirt really gave me a good look on her legs. 

"The first time we talked I thought you were an annoying self observed idiot."

"But...?" I smiled

"But? That was it. I'm never wrong about my judgment."

"Ouch." I covered my heart with my other hand.

"Though I didn't assume I would date you. In fact I think I never assumed I would date anyone."

"And then I came in and charmed my way into your heart."

"There is no need for your ego to get bigger, calm down."

"I knew that you would eventually crack under my incredible detective charms."

"I am definitely the better detective."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear of my title number one detective in the world."

"You will never stop annoying me with that. You are one of the best detectives in the world."

"Are you even on that list Plush?"

She made an angry face, how cute. "Now look here, once I get into your organization I won't become one of the number one detectives, I will be the number one detective."

I decided I wanted to see her amusing blush so I teased.

"Well you're already number one in here." I pointed at my heart. 

"That was so cliché you idiot." She said it loud and clear but her face went red instantly. 

"Let's get you a hot chocolate." I smiled and tugged her with me to the next coffee shop.

"I'll pay." I offered and she smiled. 

"Thanks."

After I paid for the hot chocolate I had to ask.

"You know, I assumed you were going to want to equally share the costs."

She looked at me with a serious expression. "Normally I would but considering Tazia spent all of my money I think I'll let you buy me a drink since I don't have the luxury to throw my money around anymore."

"If you didn't want to buy the clothes why did you let her?"

"I guess I needed an upgrade. I realize change is sometimes good. You were a change and I guess I kind of liked the change."

"You are being cute right now."

"Shut up." She turned her head blushing and drank a sip from her hot chocolate.

I started laughing at her and she looked at me confused.

"What?"

"You have some chocolate left on your lips."

She tried to lick it off annoyed.

"Did I get it?"

"Wait, let me.." I leaned closer and licked her upped lips. She was standing there not moving and blushing. But her eyes never left mine. I closed the distance between us and kissed her again. She kissed me back but pulled away afterwards.

"We are in public."

"So?"

"How do you mean so?" She asked annoyed. Ahh I see, well that means I have to get her use to me kissing her when I want to.

Jackie's p.o.v 

"Look at that guy over there, he is so cute though.."

"I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"Maybe I should go and talk to him."

"Not fair, I saw him first."

"Oh look he is coming back."

Few girls not to far from me were looking at Ethan and gossiping him while he went to by hot chocolate for himself. I've noticed the girls in school that acted that way around him but it seems he has the same effect outside of school too. However either he is oblivious to that, which I don't believe, or he simply chooses to ignore them which I think it's probably because he doesn't care.

"Now I'll taste like chocolate too." He sat next to me and I had to roll my eyes at that.

"Is that his girlfriend?"

"Why are hot guys always taken?"

"She isn't even that pretty."

Yes they were really loud and this time Ethan heard them but didn't act on it. I was so curious to what he was going to do. He is probably worried the reaction he will get from me. Hm..isn't it fun to see him in this kind of position. I haven't felt this much superior since our phone talks when we met. That was I could always hide behind the phone and he couldn't look at me with those eyes and that smug smile.

"Let's go over there anyways."

And they came closer. 

"Hey...I'm sorry but you look kind of familiar, are you a model or something?" They just went for Ethan ha. I really wonder how he manages to pull himself out of this one. Though I've seen Logan handle them most of the time.

"No, I'm afraid not." He answered not to nice not to rude. 

"Aww but you could totally be one."

Ethan fixed his scarf. He looked very uncomfortable.

"I know a guy who can fix you up with a modeling agency."

Woah they were persistent.

"Do you mind, we are on a date." Ethan finally managed look though. 

"Oh on a date?"

"Does that mean you aren't dating?"

"Hey maybe I have a chance?"

Shameless really. Maybe it was time for me to end this. I was getting bored and Ethan looks lost in this situation cause he doesn't know how to act in front of me. His face says it all should I be rude, should I be nice. How will she react? Pathetic really. 

"Hey can I have your number?" Then she turned towards me. "You don't mind if we try too, it's a game really."

I finally interfered sighing annoyed. I don't need this drama. "Why would you want his number? He is overly confident, self centered pervert who doesn't listen to anything people say and acts on his own without thinking."

The girls looked at me confused. So did Ethan. 

"Do you really think like that of him?" One of them asked.

"Of course. Because that's the truth." She seemed confused yet excited.

"However...You can't have his number, because he is my boyfriend and if you keep on making him uncomfortable and annoying him I will have to take action. And you don't want that." 

She looked taken back a little but then she apologized and retrieved with her friends gossiping.

"Why are you looking at me like that and smiling." I asked Ethan who looked like he was a child in Disneyland.

"You called me you're boyfriend while looking mean and scary. It was cute."

"You really are an idiot."

"Your idiot."

"Don't get mushy on me, drink that and let's get going."

"So you weren't jealous at all."

"No."

"Mind me asking why? Not that you have any reason to be I'm just curious."

"You are the world's dumbest detective. You can't even figure that out on your own. How did you get even in that organization in the first place?"

He suddenly stopped me and took my chin looking at me.

I couldn't control my breath all of a sudden or my heart beats.

"Maybe not about that but I can discover all of your emotions with just one look. I can tell what you are thinking with just one touch."

He smirked and I pushed his hand away but he just intertwined his fingers and smiled.

"I don't have any reason to be jealous. I trust you."

"I don't know if I should act honored because you trust me or if I should be sad because I won't get any passionate reaction from you."

"Do you want me to beat that girl up?"

He looked in thought. "No, not really. You don't seem like that type of person. It's not your style. Even though you keep on punching me I'm not sure you would do that to girls. You are soft in the heart."

"I really hate you right now."

"I know how you feel, don't worry." He kissed the side of my head and we kept on walking down the street.

The park was beautiful and as spring was at the doorstep everything seemed more and more beautiful. It was colorful, it was filled with people and it had a lot of couples.

"ThAT is where we first saw each other." He pointed at the fountain and I noticed few kids jumping around it. I wonder when they will turn it on.

"I keep on thinking how we never before." He said.

"Probably because it's a big city and we weren't hanging out at the same places."

"Where do you hang out?"

"At home."

"I see." He smiled.

"What about you? Where did you hang out?"

He looked taken back.

"I want to know. Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like I don't care about you at all and me asking it's supposed to surprise you. It doesn't make me feel good."

He chuckled in his scarf and they turned towards a smaller street.

"Okay let me show you."

We got on a bus and twenty minutes later we arrived at this two store coffee shop. We entered it and the place was filled with students.

"People from my school come here."

"Don't you think it's risky coming here, considering the position we are in?"

"Of course not. Even the ones after me aren't that stupid to come here knowing that my organization has already taken extreme measures to find them. It's too risky for them to show up right now.

"I see. Well then let's sit here."

We got on the second floor and we sat on a table next to a window.

"Here is where I usually sit with Logan and Landon. Most of the time they are bickering and trying to entertain themselves."

"What do you usually order?"

Suddenly I had all this questions in my head and I wanted to know everything about Ethan. It was strange and I couldn't understand it but I also couldn't fight it.

"A salty muffin."

"Oh we should get my mom to make you some. She's an expert on muffins no matter if they are salty or sweet."

"What if I want you to make them?"

"Well...they probably wouldn't be as much as delicious but it's your choice."

He seemed pretty happy to give up on my mother's muffins. He really doesn't know what he is missing.

We ordered two salty muffins and milkshake.

"So you said you want to know more about me?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Well..." He took of his coat and scarf pulling his uniform sleeves up. "I want to know more about you too. So let's make a deal. I have the right to ask you anything I want if I answer your questions.

I frowned but it looked like a fair deal. "Okay."

I noticed his hands and I remembered he sometimes wanted to play with his rubber band but because I had it...maybe I should buy him something...

"First question. Do you really watch anime? Come on you can't lie to me. I know you like death note. The L bracelet doesn't lie."

I bit my lower lip. There is no turning back now. "Yes."

"I knew it."

I took off my scarf too.

"What do you do in your free time?" I asked changing the topic about him.

"I guess reading...investigating..taking care of myself."

"I forgot you lived alone...Must be hard. With school, a job and all those responsibilities."

"I'm used to it."

"But it's been different now." I looked down not knowing if I should really open up this subject. "You live with us in a house full of noisy people and you haven't been working for a long time now, what happens when you go back home?"

"Just because I don't do it doesn't mean I'll forget. And this time I'll have you and you'll visit. So you don't have to worry."

"I wasn't worried I was just..."

"Your order..." The waitress smiled and gave us the milkshakes and the muffins. We paid her and I threw myself at the muffin.

"Do you live a lot further from me?" I asked stuffing my mouth. Man I was hungry.

"I guess it's far but it won't stop me from seeing you everyday. Or calling you."

I chewed my food and looked at him. How does he know what I worry about deep inside?

"Aren't you going to eat that?"

"You look very hungry so go ahead." He gave me the muffin and I took it unsure if he gave it to me because he wasn't hungry.

"I wish I was that muffin." And as he said that I started to choke and almost lost air. I drank from the milkshake and when I came to it I heard a male voice.

"Ethan is that you?"

I looked up and a fancy looking guy just tapped Ethan on the back smiling.

"Where have you been, there was a rumor you dropped out of school but I didn't believe It...what have you been doing so far...?" He then turned towards me.

"Oh I see. Hello. I'm Andy."

"Jackie."

We shook hands but something about this guy was making me uncomfortable.

"You have very beautiful eyes...Ethan you didn't told me you had a girlfriend."

Ethan didn't look very fond of this friend. I could only guess why.

"And she is beautiful."

I took the milkshake and rolled my eyes. He is one of those.

"You are the same as always I see." Ethan finally spoke but he didn't look like the person he usually is. His face expression wasn't showing that he was annoyed or angry but the vibe he gave out too was telling me a lot.

"Of course I am. It's been only two months."

"It seemed a lot more to me." Ethan added.

"So how did you two meet? In fact how long are you dating?"

"Is it beneficial to you to know this things?" Ethan asked angry.

"Hey, hey... Don't get all angry on me. I wasn't planning on stealing her from you. Though it's fun seeing you act like this. It's so rare to see you losing temper."

And then Ethan smiled. He stood up and took his coat and scarf.

"You talk as if you think you can steal her."

He took my hand and I go the clue, we are leaving. I took my stuff and went with him.

"So who is he?" I asked once we were outside.

"Someone I don't want you talking to. Ever."

He had never talked to me that way before and I was really mad because he was taking it out on me. But the way he squeezed my hand unconsciously as he said that made me hold in my comments. I was going to find out about this one way or the other. He was going to tell me or I was going to force it out of him by finding out myself.

Oh brother, who do you think this guy Andy is, and why does Ethan acts like that? Comment and vote ;) ♥
