Love in bed

I got no answer from Ethan. I put my stuff on the seat and was about to go inside. When he spoke.

"I'm not a driver. That's why you're in the front," he said gruffly.

hmm, Grumpy I'll just think that he wants to be next to me so he's moving me.

Why is this mokok looking like this?

I noticed his mood a while ago. Is one of his three personalities attacking him again?

Or maybe something happened earlier in HBLE? In their meeting? Or maybe he's not ready for tomorrow?

I took a deep breath and closed the door. I walked closer to the front. I opened the door and got in.

I put on my seatbelt and shut up. We were silent until we got home. I even forgot to text Mama when we were close.

I only texted him when Ethan got the car into the garage.

I got down from him first so I could immediately get my stuff on the back. After I got my things, I went straight into the house. I felt that he was just following behind me. but I didn't understand him anymore.

He doesn't pay attention to me so I won't pay attention to him either.

I know he is wrong. I should iconfront him immediately. What is there, if he has a problem? Or if there is a problem between the two of us?

I know that communication is the key to having a healthy relationship. But not on this day. Not now.

"Lily!"

Mama greeted me with a hug. He was waiting in our living room. Because of the weight I was carrying, I couldn't return his hug. I just kissed his cheek and broke away from the hug.

"My son, you must have been waiting for Lily for a long time. I told you that I would only bring Dante..."

I leaned over when I felt Ethan clinging to me. He took Mama's hand and guided.

"It's fine Aunty," he answered.

My mother nodded. "Let's go eat."

"I'll go up to my room first, Ma. You can eat first."

I didn't wait for what they had to say and went up to my room.

I turned on the light and walked to my bed. I put my things there. I took a hair tie and tied my hair.

I also turned on the AC because I was getting hot. I was just sitting on the bed when there was a knock on the door. I sighed and approached the door.

I only opened the door a little because I was just looking to see who was shouting. But what I have in mind is one of our colleagues here at home. To bring me down.

When I opened the door a little, Ethan opened it and entered my room without warning. I was like the wind he just passed through. I closed the door in disgust and faced him. He is sitting on my bed.

If you look at me lying there, it will look big. But now that I saw him sitting there, my bed looked small. I happily walked towards him.

I stopped a few meters in front of him. He looked up at me innocently. I blinked and folded my arms.

Honestly, I don't want our situation like this. I don't want us to be like this. I don't like that we don't work together and avoid each other. You know that you are not enemies but if you can act. It seems like a big fight between you?

Ethan and I have never had a big or bad fight. It's just a one-day affair. Three days is the longest.

I remembered when I didn't answer his call because I fell asleep early. The next day I apologized to him. I even explained why I didn't answer his calls.

But because of his smugness, he didn't read my chats. He doesn't answer calls either. Until it lasted for three days. Yes, he endured three days without talking to me.

But because it was my fault, I seduced him. Especially since I can't visit him in their dorm. So I constantly chat, text, and call him. But he doesn't answer all that.

His toughness. Or maybe he's just stubborn? I do not know with him. I was just hurt that he could tolerate me for so long. As for me, I'm still as fragile as the old wood. I immediately give it to him.

Because he knows how to get me. Just a sweet voice of hers and calling me 'baby'. we are fine. It was as if nothing had happened. So I was very annoyed with myself. No matter what I do stubbornly, it crumbles.

I really think he wouldn't have paid attention to me if I hadn't sent him my sorry video.

Yes, yes, I sent a corny corny video just for him to notice. Let's be okay again. I love him that much. Sometimes, he teases me about that video of mine, so there is also a part of me that I shouldn't have done that.

Because I found out that he just tripped me up. I thought he was emoting in their dorm like that. You know how sad you are? Because you are not okay with the person you love? Just like what happened to me.

But he, he did something different. Since he is Mr. Gamer, he said he only played games for the past three days without talking to us. It's great, isn't it?

He even made an excuse that he should be the one to make fun of the two of us. It is said that I am the one at fault, so I should be the one to be punished. Hey, I really don't know what to do with this man.

The next day I received a peace offering from him. He sent flowers and even cooked my favorite Adobo. In the end, we are okay again.

"Why did you go up? I'm going down right away," I tried to be calm but I couldn't.

Especially when he started to smirk, a very sexy smirk.

I swallowed and looked away. I tasted more because I was not satisfied.

"Are you mad?"

I closed my eyes. That's it, he used his sweet talking voice on me. See? He very knew me, how to get me in an instant. Without making such an effort.

What's with you, De Dios?

How could you make me feel the way I wanted and I would love to feel every time? You never fail to put butterflies inside my stomach. To fly and lay on a bed of clouds. I always felt like I was floating in the air.

You can make me so annoyed at you. Then later on, my annoyance will fade away 'cause of your sweet voice.

"N-no," I answered.

"Are you sure? Or maybe you're upset with me? On how I acted earlier?" I didn't answer. "Always remember, eyes don't lie baby..."

I gasped as he pulled me closer to him.

I was in the middle of her thighs. His hands were wrapped around my waist and he looked up.

"Hmm, you're upset? You want to know why I acted that way?"

I nodded at him like a gentle cat. He is hypnotizing me. I am now under Ethan's spell.

"Because I'm jealous..." he said softly. "This thing is the only thing that I can't control. Remember the day that I trapped you at the comfort room? I burst out right? That's because of too much jealousy."

I frowned. Jealousy? So he was like that earlier because he was jealous? And did he confess that day because of jealousy?

I kept my surprised look at Ethan.

This was the first time he said he was jealous in our three month relayson.

His two hands wrapped around my waist landed on my hands. He held it and brought it to his lips. He gently kissed them three times before letting go.

"Because of what happened earlier I am very nervous. Lots of possible things to happen plays inside my head. Like, what if you found comfort on someone? While I was busy on rehearsing? What if-"

"So, you don't trust me?" I interrupted what he was saying.

"I trust you," he said seriously. "Those bastards are the ones I don't trust."

I took a deep breath. This is what bothers him so he ignores me. So he seems hot-headed.

When he saw me close to Luke then, he suddenly confessed. Because he is jealous.

Then earlier, he must have seen Gavyn approaching me so he also got jealous and ignored me.

It was like I was the only one, when we weren't the two of us.

Those times when I was very annoyed that he didn't pay attention to me. He was talking to other people and not me. He and Iya also became close.

That means something. That's why I'm annoyed by his act because I'm jealous.

Jealousy does a lot. Sometimes, with the intensity of jealousy you feel... it leads to doing evil.

I remembered that I was jealous of Caleigha. His cousin who has a child now. I have never seen him face to face. Only on video calls.

He is no longer in the Philippines. He is abroad with his son.

I held both of Ethan's cheeks and looked straight into his eyes.

"I love you."

That's all I said before I placed a kiss on his lips. Our lips met for ten seconds before I pulled away. I smiled when I saw his surprised look.

He blinked. So I laughed. I have separated from his confinement to me. I walked away from him. I stopped when I was in front of the door.

"What? You're already there? You're not going to eat?"

He immediately stood up and looked directly at me. A smile appeared on his lips as he approached me. He put his hand on both sides, holding me. My back was touching the door because of the shock of what he did.

I smiled and looked up at him. The next thing that happened was that I just felt that our lips were moving together. My hand crawled up to his arm. His two hands were on my jaw and neck.

Until one of his hands slowly went down my chest. When he touched me, I breathed on his lips.

He wasn't satisfied yet because he put his hand in my t-shirt and caressed it.

His kiss brought my jaw down to my neck. While he was doing that, his hand continued to caress the inside of my dress.

I could barely cry because of what he was doing.

"Ah.... hmm..."

There is something inside me that I don't understand. Especially when Ethan stuck himself to me. I felt something hard stabbing in my stomach. I looked down and saw that it was from.... Ethan.

I swallowed.

His kiss returned to my lips. His way of kissing is fast and aggressive. But I still managed to keep up with it.

When Ethan stopped kissing me I weakened. We were both breathing fast. Our foreheads are touching. I let go of the sleeve of his clothes that I crumpled. Because of the intensity of my clinging to it.

His hand was no longer inside my clothes, it was resting on the wall.

Later he touched both of my cheeks. His eyes were shining. I'm sure mine is the same. The lump in his neck moved due to swallowing. Little by little, I felt the soft touch of his lips on my forehead.

After that he pulled me for a tight hug. He was panting as if he had run a few meters. I could feel the speed of the beating in his chest. He is twice as fast as me.

I was the one who swallowed because the bulge in his middle stuck to my stomach again.

"Oh my God," I whispered. "You are...."

I couldn't say what I wanted to say. Shame and wilderness lead me. I think my cheeks are red.

"Shh..." he said.

"I-is there somet-thing I can do-"

"No, I'm okay. Just hug me back. Let's hug for a minute," he whispered back.

"Are you sure?"

He took a deep breath. It's like he's going through a lot of trouble in his life. Then the questions added and I told him.

"Honestly, there's something in my mind that I want to do with you. But I know my limitations. I'm okay with just making out or to just kiss you. We can't make love yet-uh are you getting what I I'm trying to say?"

I nodded and hugged him back. "I'll miss you."

He hugged me tighter. "I'll miss you too, so much."

Ethan slept at home that night. When we went downstairs to eat, Mama was gone. Sister Sally said that Mama ate first and rested early. Ethan and I took a long time at the top.

After we ate, I peeked into Mama's room. I fixed Mama's blanket and kissed her forehead before leaving her.

I put Ethan to sleep in my room. In his tight embrace I fell asleep.

I woke up to a gentle tap on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes.

Ethan's face appeared to me. I rubbed my eyes and got out of bed.

"You're going to be late," he said.

I woke up and got up. I took the towel and entered the bathroom. Then I went out to get dressed. I saw Ethan sitting on my bed holding his cell phone. He even swallowed when he saw me.

I shook my head and took some clothes. I went back to the bathroom to get dressed. I sat down in front of my vanity chair. I combed my hair and sprayed perfume. Then, I stood up and faced the dear prince.

I frowned because his face was frowning. "Why? You didn't sleep well?"

He shook his head. "No..."

"Why do you look like that? It's like heaven and earth have fallen," I laughed.

"I'm so offended," he growled at the same time and walked closer to me. "You're still able to laugh, huh? Well, this is our last day together, and then you'll laugh. I don't want to go home. Then we'll just be here."

I stood up and looked up at him. "That's not possible baby. You have to come in and so do I. For the future, is that okay?"

He sighed. "I know that. But it's been almost a month, baby. It's only been this way that we can see each other, it's still hard. How can it be now? I'm not used to not being with you or talking to you. If it's possible I'll just take you to the rehearsal, I'll do it. Well, the situation doesn't go well."

I didn't answer what he said. I just hugged him very tightly.

Your hug as if he was going to run out of breath.

Because maybe later, this will be the last hug I can give him. Because maybe later, this will be the last day I will see him. Because maybe later, this will be the last time I can touch him.

As they say, enjoy every second that will pass by. Every second is important.

I broke away from the hug. I looked into his eyes before I kissed him on the lips. One touch and I let go.

Maybe if we stay together longer, I won't be able to let him go.

I just didn't show him that I was sad because of his departure. Well, he's not literally leaving. But that seems to be the case. The only difference is, I know he will come back. He will get back to me.

I'll just let him express his sadness, what he really feels right now.

Because if I go with him, we both lose.

"I love you," I sincerely told him.

He pulled me for our last hug.

"I love you more. I love you so much," he kissed my forehead.

I haven't seen Ethan for a week.

In that same week, we only had the chance to talk three times. They are not allowed to hold cellphones so they can concentrate.

The bad thing is, in those three days, we haven't been able to talk properly. Sometimes, he calls me when I'm about to sleep or when I'm at work. Besides, he will have free time.

In that one week, not a day or hour went by that I didn't miss him.

I wish I had prayed constantly, the pace of the day hastened. For the next time I wake up in the morning, he is with me again.

Sometimes my friends tease me. Especially Cali, because I told them that Ethan had rehearsals. So we won't see each other for almost a month.

Maybe it would ease my feelings if they were just here at the company rehearsing. Case in point, they are rehearsing at the venue itself. The recording for their new album was also done there.

In fact, they were sleeping there too. Everything is there.

"Iris..."

I turned to Gavyn who called me.

Another thing, we are all changing with him. His grumpiness and isnabero have decreased. Apparently, he is like that only on select days. The one with her mood swings that even beat the period and pregnant woman.

Overall, we prefer the way he treats us now.

"Yes?"

"To my office please," he said and turned his back on me.

I shrugged my shoulders. I washed my hands before following him to his office. It wasn't very busy in the kitchen because it was just after lunch time. The cooks are just sitting on the side, their rest area.

Those in the kitchen are still lucky because when they are done with work, they will have a place to sit. We were outside, nothing, we were just standing.

But it's okay, I like my coworkers outside. I like them, unlike when I was in another department where Iya was also there.

I probably agree with them because the five of us are the first time in the cafeteria department.

Before Gavyn's mini office door closed, I grabbed the door and entered.

We sat together in the chair. He had a little something on his computer before facing me.

"I believe, two weeks of working on beverages was enough and good for you?"

"Uh," I swallowed. "I guess so Chef-"

"Just Gavyn please..."

"Gavyn..."

"Okay, Oli wants to switch with you. She's assigned on desserts. So I want to know if you can handle making desserts? I mean , did you practice the videos that I gave you?"

Can I just answer 'and I thank you'? That's how my mind rusts!

"I practiced. It's just that I focused more attention on the main dishes. What I learned is more appropriate because I tried to prepare it for Christmas and New Year...."

He smiled, begging. the palm on the table.

"Did you master making the main dishes?"

It's gone. Why are there so many follow up questions? Is it defense? Oh! I haven't revised chapter three of my thesis yet!

"My mom said it's past, you're our roommate, as well as my husband."

Yes, my husband. Maybe if I say boyfriend I will be caught as a cheat on my resume. Your information about me.

If you ask who my wife is. Well, who else? It's Ethan! I laughed in my mind. I'm going crazy because I miss my Ethan.

Gavyn's expression seemed to change at what I said. Isn't that right? Isn't it obvious that I have mastered cooking the main dishes?

That's great! So this Chef is a judge.

"Okay. So I will assign you to the kitchen starting Monday."

"Okay..."

When I finished my work, I went up to my capsule to get dressed. It's Anne's birthday today, so she said she would free me to eat outside.

I wore a black dress. It has sleeves and button down. I took the paper bag of my gift to Anne from the bed.

I gave him clothes and perfumes. Because I can't think of anything to gift him.

It's like my gift to him is over and over again. But is he still choosy? It's good and I gave it to him. Char.

"You even beat the one with the birthday on you," Anne told me.

I joked and pulled the chair in front of him. I also put the gift I brought to him on the table.

"Oh, happy birthday."

He smiled and took the paper bag from the table. "I bet you're still really distracted. I already told you not to give a gift."

"Don't you want it? You can just give it back to me. I'll use my gift for you."

"Just a joke! But thank you..."

I laughed at what he said. He peeked into the contents of the paper bag and immediately looked at his lips and his eyes were happy when he saw what was inside.

I took that opportunity to take a picture of him. I posted it on my IG stories, yours on my personal account. I captioned it "Happy birthday!"

I was about to put my cellphone down when I received an IG chat with Ethan.

eltan: hi baby

I was about to reply to him but another chat came from him.

eltan: I was abt to call you but you are out.

eltan: message me once you're already home.

eltan: and tell miss Anne happy birthday to her

eltan: be careful going home I love you

eltan: I love you so much

lilyiris: done with the rehearsal?

lilyiris: yes I'm outside with Anne for dinner I'm sorry I didn't tell you

lilyiris: I love you too I

hid the cellphone in my sling bag. "Happy birthday, Ethan said."

"Please say thanks but no thanks. You can greet me but with a gift in your hand."

"Your art!" we laughed. "You're lucky to be greeted by an idol and then you're going to act."

We waited for a while before ordering. Because he was free, I ordered expensive ones. It's only free once so I made the most of it. So that I can get back the gift I bought for him. Char.

"Thank you, sister. Also tell sir Ace thank you."

"Always welcome my dear," I hugged Anne. "Thank you for the dinner too. I hope it's your birthday every day."

He jokingly pulled my hair. "Gaga! I can't eat anything from my beautiful aunt and my dearest sister."

I broke away from our embrace. I opened my bag and took out my wallet.

"How much do you need?"

He straightened up and folded his arms. "Five million is fine so your son and I can start."

"Ha, your face is really thick. You already took my son from me, and you're going to take my treasure as well?"

"You made the offer, duh."

I burst out laughing. That echoed in the hallway. Because we are opposite Anne's capsule. Because it was his birthday, I took him here. I hugged him again before saying goodbye. After I got back to my capsule, I immediately messaged Ethan that I was home.

I took off my shoes and clothes. I hung the bag I used behind the door. I went to my small cabinet and got a nightgown.

I was about to go to the bathroom when my cell phone rang. I took it and answered Ethan's call.

"Hello?"

No one answered his line so I repeated.

"Ethan?"

"Hmm?"

I was relieved. "Tired?"

"Yes, super tired," the tiredness was evident in his voice.

"Aww, my baby is poor," then I entered the bathroom.

My cellphone is on loud speaker so I can still hear him. There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, right? It's not obscene because he doesn't see me without clothes to talk to.

I turned on the shower. My plan is to just clean my body. But because I wanted to sleep well, I decided to take a shower.

"Yes I'm really very poor. Our breaks are short and I can't sleep properly. My mind's awake, thinking of you."

I turned off the shower. "Then maybe you should stop thinking of me. So you can sleep well."

"Hmm, that still won't work. The only cure for this is to see you. Baby can we video call?"

"What a weasel!"

"Why? What's wrong?"

I dropped the shampoo bottle at what he said. I picked it up and put it back in the container. I turned on the shower to rinse off.

"Wait... are you in the bathroom?"

My heart beat faster. I didn't answer. I sped up the rinsing, the showering.

"Oh sh*t, I'll end this call I'll call you back once you're done okay? Bye."

When I finished taking a shower, I quickly got dressed. I am ashamed of myself. Later what will Ethan think. Why am I talking to him while I'm taking a shower!

I called him after my night routine. He answered just one more ring.

"Are you done?"

"Uh yes, sorry I didn't tell you -"

"No, it's fine. Anyway, where did you and miss Anne eat?"

When he changed the conversation, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I told him what happened in my day. You moving me into the kitchen and the one about Anne and I's dinner.
