His Drama Queen novel Chapter 16

I shook my head and looked at Angela who was watching us amusingly. "Of course I want to go shopping with you. Just tell me when."

Angela smiled and clapped in her hands. "I'm so excited! I'll come to the mansion tomorrow. Be ready in the morning."

I was about to nod yes, but Ethan cleared his throat. "You have a meeting with Rose tomorrow, remember?"

Ugh yes ! How could I forget that? I mentally facepalmed myself. "Oh, I almost forgot about that. I'm sorry Angela, maybe another time?"

"Oh it's alright." She shook her head and smiled. "We can have a movie night or something."

"That sounds exciting."

"Okay Angela, are you done with my girlfriend? I want to take her to dance." Ethan said impatiently.

Angela huffed a long sigh. "Fine, take her. She's all yours. Bye, Nicole."

I said goodbye to Angela and Ethan grabbed my hand and brought me to the middle of the dancefloor. He placed one hand on my waist and the other one he held in his other hand. We slowly moved to the rhythm of the music.

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair

He held me close, our body molding into one as if we were made for each other. Placing my hands on his shoulder we danced silently.

And then she asks me, Do I look all right?

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight

I felt all eyes on us. We did look so real. While most pretend relationships never work out, because of bad acting ours feels so real. Everything just flows, like it's meant to be. And it scares the crap out of me.

We go to a party and everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady that's walking around with me

I wanted to say something, anything, but each time I opened my mouth to speak, I felt the harshness of his hands against my petite waist and sighed in content. Slowly I moved my hands up to his neck and rested my head on his chest. I wished I could stay like this forever.

And then she asks me, Do you feel all right?

And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight" He pulled me impossibly close that I could hear the beating of his heart.

I feel wonderful because I see

The love light in your eyes

He twirled me around like a doll and I let out a soft squeal. That was so unexpected. I heard Ethan chuckle.

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize how much I love you

"It will never happen again."

Ethan sighed. "I don't want to make this any more complicated than it already is, princess."

How dare he! "Don't ever call me princess again." I hissed and stepped into the car. I sat in the far corner, far away from Ethan.

"What the hell, Nicole?!" He stepped into the car and closed the door behind him. "I thought it was very clear from the beginning."

"I don't want to do this anymore. Go get Veronika back, I don't want to do this anymore." My lips quivered as I said that. "I'm so tired Ethan, you're so confusing. I can't do this anymore."

"Why?"

"Because I said so!" I yelled out frustrated. "And you know what? The kiss was just an accident okay. Don't break your head about it !"

Ethan Gray

I couldn't sleep. It was already passed 2 AM and we arrived home two hours ago, but the awful feeling in my stomach stayed. I closed my eyes and opened them again. The kiss keeps replaying in my head.

Deep down inside I knew that I craved for it. Damn, I was so close to responding to her. But I couldn't. There's something holding me back. Fear maybe?

The hurt on Nicole's face was evident. I had hurt her. Badly. The pain in my heart was unbearable. I couldn't see her like that. I should have not snapped at her. God, I wished I could turn back time. Kissed her back and just confessed. Confessed what exactly? That I loved her? I don't even know what I'm feeling.

And then there's Veronika. The one I don't like, but use for attention. She does the same thing with me, so it's fair.
