Together Forever

Chapter 18

I unlock the door and enter inside, throwing my bag on the couch. The whole apartment is quiet and NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

dark. We got out in the afternoon and now it's eight pm. Opening the door of my bedroom, I switch on

the light and enter my closet. I take a white crop top which has a red colored heart in the middle and

denim shorts and place them on my bed before getting into the washroom.

I take a quick shower and come out changed into that top and shorts. I'm not feeling like drying my hair

now. So I just comb it and let it flow down on my back.

Reaching the kitchen, I decorate the table with the food I brought from the restaurant. They are not

coming home tonight I guess. I don't mind though. They waited so long for this moment and finally it's

here. But I am grateful, I remembered to take out my dinner before coming home. Otherwise, I would

have to spend the night eating ice cream.

Yes, I love ice cream but as a dinner, only ice cream is not a good choice.

After I am done with my dinner, I wash the dishes and head to the living room. It's going to be a girly

night I guess.

I turn on the TV and see 'Frozen' going on. Letting out a happy squeal, I take my small blanket from my

bedroom and lie down on the couch, hiding under it.

Don't judge. Yes, I love disney and Frozen is my favorite.

I was so tired after working the whole day and after watching the movie for some time, I feel my eyes

getting heavier. Making me comfortable, I push the blanket over my face and give into sleep.

***************

I don't know for how long I slept when the faint sound of the doorbell breaks my dream.

Fuck whoever the person is! I was dreaming I became a fairy and was going to visit heaven!

I slowly open my eyes and get up to see the blanket lying on the floor and the remote five feet away

from the couch. But I remember when I went to sleep, it was beside my leg. Definitely I kicked it

between sleep.

What time is it?

I stare at the big wall clock hanging straight up on the wall and see it's saying 11:45. OMG! Who is

there at this late night? Nick and Leah aren't supposed to come home tonight, then?

I rub my eyes and fix my hair, standing up. The only source in the room is the wavering lights of the TV.

When I watch TV at night, I always switch the lights off. It became a habit now. The movie has already

ended and now the ads are going on.

I walk towards the door slowly, a bit tensed thinking who can come here at this time. Turning the

doorknob, I open the door slowly and stick my head out.

It feels like the ground beneath me has been torn apart as I feel my heart starts jumping inside me. I

blink several times thinking maybe what I am watching is wrong but it remains the same. The person in

front of me remains the same as those piercing brown eyes bore into mine.

"Ethan?"
