Honey, We Need To Talk

~Erica's P.O.V.~

The next day, before school, walking towards the building, I saw Sarah. I excused myself from Ethan and ran after her.

"Sarah!" I grabbed her shoulder, and she turned quickly, eyes glowing. I was the only one to see, but still, I didn't want to.

"Stay away from me." She hissed, before walking forward to Jasmine, who was waiting for her at the end of her street.

I couldn't help but smile. On a normal day, she wouldv'e clubbed me, no mercy, but she just warned me and ran away. I went back to Ethan.

After school, I was again with Ethan. Alone. Needing to talk with him.

I've never listened to anything they say about me, so why start now?

"Ethan, could you stay at my place for a minute when we get there? I... I wanna talk to you about something."

"Sure." Yep. He knew. He tensed instantly.

When we got there, I led him to my room, and sat on my bed. He sat beside me.

"Ethan.. I'm no expert, but... I don't think friends are as affectionate, and protective as we are." I said awkwardly.

He sighed. "Erica... I don't... I don't wanna ruin our friendship... but since that first day I saw you, I wanted to talk to you."

"And you did. I remember, 'cause I got in trouble." He cracked a smile.

"I mean, like that. Erica, I..." He shook his head. "I'm sorry."

He leaned forward and kissed me. I was so surprised, but then I could think. His soft lips touching mine so lightly, so hesitantly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer, kissing back. Life is about taking risks, right?

He let me indulge for a moment, before he pulled away.

"Erica, I really really like you. I don't want us to be less than friends, but I'm okay with stepping up, as long as you are. Are you willing to take a risk?"

"...Are you asking me out?" The expression on my face couldv'e been priceless. He grinned.

"Erica Jones, will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

"Yes."

I know, I know... short. Short but sweet. Don't throw anything, okay? Review! ~TrampledRose
