CHAPTER 7
It feels like it was yesterday I was left to rot at that unknown place. Khloe was able to save me that day. I can’t believe Ethan left me there. I know he was angry, but that is not enough reason for him to leave me there. I should not be surprised anyways because it’s Ethan I am talking about, someone who hates me more than anything in this world. He hurt me a little that night, nothing serious, but I still feel little pains in my arms when I move them. His grip was really tight that night.
I am on my way to class this beautiful afternoon. I get to class and take my seat, waiting for the professor to arrive. Someone takes a seat beside me, but I don’t border to look up from my phone to know who it is. The professor arrives after a few seconds, and the class starts. I keep my phone on the table and look up. The person sitting beside me is not someone I want to see after what happened on Saturday. Ethan is sitting beside me. Why is he sitting beside me?

I can't believe good food was used to bribe me to come for this event. The food at the event was not bad, but right now, that is not the problem. I am starting to feel sleepy due to how bored I am. It's a dinner ball, the person my brother wants to sign a deal with is hosting it. I am currently sitting down outside, trying to entertain myself by watching videos on Instagram."Adina is that you," A familiar deep voice says. I turn around, and I am right, Ethan is the one who called me."Yes," I say, surprised to see him here."What are you doing here?" Ethan says, joining me on the balcony."I should be asking you the same""What is my name?""Ethan Mantone," I say, and I realise that Ethan has the same surname as the man hosting the event tonight. He must be Ethan's father; wow, I would have never guessed that."From the look on your face, I can tell, you know why I am here. So why are you?""My brother is trying to get a deal
The American CHAPTER 9
A few weeks have passed since that beautiful encounter between Ethan and me. I felt so shy to face him again after that day, but the next day in school, Ethan acted like nothing happened. We have become closer than ever; we do a lot of things together that I never saw us doing. We go to class together, study together and even go for lunch together like we are right now. Ethan and I are at a nice restaurant after a long day of lectures.“I hope you have not forgotten about my game on Saturday,” Ethan says after he takes a bite of his chicken.“You have been talking about it for the past two weeks. I won’t miss it for the world” I say after taking a sip of my drink.“I just want to remind you so you won’t forget.”“I won’t and is Saturday, not Caroline’s birthday,” I say recalling the lovely girl telling me about it last time we met.“Yes, it is, and she said I should ask you if you could make a few doughnuts for her birthday.”“Of course, I would love to, but there

I am in the waiting room at the hospital while the doctors check on Ethan. My hands have not stopped shaking since I got here. I know this is not the first time Ethan has been in this situation, but I feel far more nervous than I was the first time. I can barely stop moving my hands and legs. Ya Allah, I hope it’s not severe. The doctor comes out, and I quickly walk towards her."How is he doctor? I hope it’s nothing serious. Can I see him?" I ask so many questions at once
The American CHAPTER 11
It’s been a few days since that beautiful encounter between Ethan and me. I did not know what to do after what happened that night. I still can’t believe the way my body responded to the kiss. Every part of me wanted to kiss Ethan back, but something in my head kept reminding me how wrong it would be if I did. Ya Allah, I'm so frustrated; I can't believe I'd like Ethan and consider doing such things with him. Life throws you something that you never expect to feel. I have not been able to face Ethan since I discovered I liked him, and since we kissed. When I'm around him, I always feel shy and awkward. I also think about the way my body behaved last time. I can’t be too sure if being around Ethan is safe. What if he wants to kiss me again, and I lose all my senses and kiss him back? I would want to do that, but I know I can’t do that. Ya Allah, I am going to lose my mind because of Ethan. I have not been picking his calls or answering him when he comes to the house to look for me. I
The American CHAPTER 12
It seems like only yesterday that everyone was wishing each other a happy new year, but now posters of happy Valentines can be found everywhere. I can’t believe January is almost over and February is already around the corner. It’s been three weeks since Ethan and I started seeing each other. I don’t know if I should say we are dating because we have been on a lot of dates, but Ethan has not asked me to be his girlfriend. Surprisingly I am dying for him to ask me to be his girlfriend. My feelings for him have grown in these three weeks that we have shared. Ethan has been an angel throughout these three weeks. He had kept his promise and had done everything he could to avoid touching me. Ethan has not touched me since the last time we kissed. I am happy he kept his promise, but I am also sad because I can’t believe I am saying this, but my body craves his touch. I don’t know how it started, but I know anytime I see him, I want to feel him close to me. I am also careful not to
The American CHAPTER 13
A week has gone by, busy with preparation for exams. I am currently at Ethan’s place. We plan to spend the day together even though we see each other practically every day. I am in the kitchen with Grace, making lunch together. "Ethan, if you were a woman, I would have assumed you were giving birth up there. Why are you taking so long?" I say, making sure my voice is loud enough for him to hear me all the way upstairs. "I am done taking a shower; I will be there in a sec," Ethan says, screaming back downstairs. "Ever since I have known that boy, he has always taken so much time in the bathroom," Grace says, shaking her head while chuckling. "I wonder what he does in there; even a woman does not take as much time as he does." "I truly have no idea, my dear, and please excuse me. "I need to make a phone call." "Alright, take your time." "That’s because I want to look good for you, baby," Ethan says, whispering huskily into my ear

I am waiting in the lobby when Khloe finally arrives. "I know I am late to pick you up, but I don’t think this face belongs to me," Khloe says, noticing the frown on my face. "It belongs to Ethan’s stepbrother, Austin. You won’t believe what that human being said to me." "One look at your face says you did not like what he said," Khloe says chuckling. "You can only imagine," I say walking out of the hotel. "You can tell me all about it over lunch," Khloe says while we wait for her car. "With pleasure," I say getting into Khloe’s car to be on our way to one of our favourite restaurants in town. We arrive at the restaurant and take our seats at the first empty table we come across. I tell Khloe what happened with Austin. She is also furious that he said such things to me. While we are eating, Khloe speaks up. "You won’t believe what Marcus did. He asked me to forgive him and take him back. " "He sai
The American CHAPTER 15
I cried so much, I was scared my eyes were going to fall out. My heart was stabbed a thousand times that day. The next day came, and I tried to talk to Ethan but got cold shoulders from him. I did not give up; I plan to try my best to explain to him what really happened that day, no matter what it takes. I am waiting at the door of his lecture hall. I finished my classes earlier than him today, so I have enough time to spare. Ethan and I might be studying the same major, but we still have different minors, so all our classes are not together. The clock hits five, and his class is over. I wait eagerly and nervously to talk to him. "Ethan," I say, trying to stop him before he leaves like always. He does not answer and keeps walking. I increase my pace and step in front of him to block his path. "Ethan, please hear me out," I say, praying that he agrees. He tries to walk past me, but I block his way. He does it again, and so do I. "Get out of my way," Ethan says
