Chapter 5: Nighttime
"Yeah, sure." He said. He let her in and shut the door. Soon they were talking about what just happened between her and Ken.
"I just don't know what to do. I loved him so much." Leah cried. She fell into Ethan's arms.
"You'll get over it." He said. He knew that she stilled had feelings for this guy, but he also knew that when someone hurts her, it takes awhile for her to forgive them. She had forgiven him, otherwise, she wouldn't be here, crying in his arms.
Soon after Leah had settled down, she fell asleep. Ethan covered her up and went to his room. He couldn't stop thinking about how close Leah was to him and that she is right in his living room, sleeping off the pain.
Leah woke up to the smell of bacon cooking. She sat up and took a minute to figure out where she was. She stood up and followed the smell. She walked into the kitchen and found Ethan standing by the stove.
"You're awake." He said cracking an egg into a pan.
"Yes. I'm sorry I fell asleep on you last night." Leah said rubbing her head.
"It's alright. You had a hectic night." Ethan said sounding very caring and then asked "Want some breakfast?"
"Sure, can I use your bathroom first?" She asked.
"Yes, right in there." He said as he pointed to the half closed door. Leah smiled and walked toward the room.
They ate breakfast and Leah helped with the dishes, even though Ethan told her that she doesn't have to. "Do you work today?" Leah asked when they were finished.
"Nope." Ethan replied.
"Would you want to spend the day together?" She asked and "We could go shopping for your mother's birthday present."
"Sounds ok." Ethan said. He gets to spend the day with the girl that always occupies his dreams. She really forgiven him for leaving her five years ago.
"Do you mind if we first stop by my place and I can feed Oliver?" She asked placing the plate on the counter.
"Who's Oliver?" He asked.
"My cat. Last night when Ken came over, he brought him. He was our cat, but Ken didn't want him. Oliver is such a sweet cat. He won't hurt you." She said.
P.S. What do you think? I know it's been along time, but I wasn't sure if I was gonna update.
