**Ethan's House After Ethan's Parents Leave** Sarah's POV
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked, plopping on the couch.
"I don't know. Have any ideas?" Jane asked, Ethan
"No," Ethan said.
"Ok, then," Jane said.
"Come on, Ethan! You're supposed to be the smart one! You're the geek," I said.
"Oh, am I?" he asked, in a playful voice.
"Ya, GEEK," I enthisized the word.
"I'm gonna' get you for that," he said.
"Have to catch me first," I teased, running up the stairs, at human speed. He started running after me. I ran into his room,
look for a place to hide. Then, he wrapped his arms around my waist. He picked me up, and started spinning in circles. We
were moving in the direction of his bed. Then, he layed me down across his it, and he was leaning over me. "So, you caught
me. Now, what are you going to do to 'get me' for what I said," I asked, breathlessly. We were laughing the whole time.
"Nothing," he answered.
"What?" I asked.
"Catching you WAS 'getting you' I caught you, and had a fun game of tag," Ethan joked, chuckeling. He was still leaning over
me.
"Well, I thought you'd do something to me," I said.
"Do you WANT me to do something to you?" he asked.
"Maybe, depends," I said.
"On what?" he asked.
"On what you're going to do to me," I said.
"Well, what if I do this?" he asked, lowering himself. Then, he, gently pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around
his neck, his were still around my waist. Then we heard a 'um-hum' from the doorway.
"Jane," we both said, shooting up.
"Ya," she said.
"We can explain-" Ethan started.
"That you and Sarah were kissing? It's ok, infact it's great," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I won," she said.
"Elaborate," Ethan said.
"Me, Benny, Rory, Erica, Mom, and Dad had a bet of what month you two would kiss. Benny had January and December.
Erica had Febuary and November. I had March and October. Mom had April and September. Rory had May and August. Dad
had June and July. It's October 17th, so I won," she explained.
"Oh, how much did you win?" I asked.
"$60. We each put $10 on it. $5 a month," she told us.
"Ok, well it's your bed time. I'll be back, and then we can continue," I said, walking to Jane's room.
Ethan's POV
Wow, that was amazing, until Jane interupted. Wait! She said we can 'continue'? That must mean she like me! "I'm back,"
Sarah announced, walking in and sitting on my lap.
"How much did it cost you to keep quiet?" I asked.
"None, she's breaking the news and collecting her dues tomorow, for the bet," she explained.
"Oh," I said.
"Ya," she said.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"You just did, but you can ask me something else, too," she answered.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked.
"Does this answer your question?" she asked, kissing me.
"Yes," I replied, when we pulled back.
"So, where were we?" she asked, leaning in, again.
"Ethan? Sarah? We're home," my mom yelled, about an hour later. Sarah and I pulled apart and went downstairs.
"Hey, did you guys have fun?" I asked.
"Ya, where they good, Sarah?" my mom asked.
"Yep," she replied.
"Here you go," Mom said, handing Sarah her money.
"Bye, . Bye, ," Sarah said, waving to them. "Bye, Ethan," she said, hugging me. "Tag, your it," she
whispered in my ear. Then, she left.
