LOGINAnna POVI reach back and palm him through his boxers. Slipping my hand down the fabric, I grab his length and begin to pump him slowly."Fuck, I'm going to come if you continue to do that." He shudders. "Do you have a condom?" I ask, still sucking on the skin of his neck. I'm going to leave a mark, I'm sure. I want everyone to see it. I want Haley to fucking see it. I want everyone to see the mark I'm leaving and know that he is mine. No one else can have him. He freezes under me. "Fuck...no." He says, pulling away to look at me. "I think I might have one in my purse," I admit, reaching over onto the side table and searching through the bag. I can feel him holding his breath as I search, not wanting to disappoint him and myself by not finding one. I feel the cool foil against my fingertips and quickly pull it out and toss my purse onto the floor. "Found one," I say, holding it up with a smirk. "Should I even ask why you have a condom in your purse?" he chuckles. "For moments l
Anna POV"I'm going to get my phone back eventually, and I will see these pictures!" I yell, shrieking when he reaches over with his other hand and tries to tickle me to stop me from reaching for my phone. "Stop!" I scream with a laugh. "Nope! Not until you tell me that you won't try and find my high school pictures!" He laughs, moving us so that he is hovering over us and continuing his tickling assault."I just want to see them!" I laugh."I am going to continue to tickle you, then!" He laughs in reply, tickling me even harder.I try to wiggle away from him and end up pulling the both of us off of the couch and onto the floor, his body now on top of mine, and my phone is thrown across the room."Did you just throw my phone across the room?" I exclaimed, amused by the shock covering my face."Yes." He laughs, not moving from his spot."Was it that big of a deal?" I giggle."Again, yes. Absolutely." We stay in our spot for a few seconds, just looking at each other. He's so...perfect
Anna POV"Nope!" she says, jumping out of her seat and running towards the door."Be careful! I love you!" "I love you too! Bye, Eth!" She waves as she leaves the house. I go to the front door and watch her happily run over to Natasha's van. Despite the joy I feel knowing that she has friends and that our dad's death isn't affecting her too negatively, I can't help but feel sad knowing that she's growing up. She is going to do this more often as she gets older, and I'm going to be alone in this house more. It's inevitable. "It's good that she is making friends. I'm really glad that she's dancing, too. That seems like something that she will be good at," Eth says to me as I walk back into the kitchen. "Yeah, I am too," I mumble, sitting down and taking another bite of my pizza. "Do you want something to drink? I'm thirsty," I say, getting up once again and walking to our refrigerator. "Umm, yeah. I could go for a drink. What do you have?" He asks."Let's see. It looks like we have a
Anna POV"Pizza is fine with me if that's what you want, love," Eth tells her, earning a big smile from Phoebe.We walk to my car in silence for the most part as I mentally prepare myself for what will be the most awkward lunch date in history. "Can we get pepperoni pizza?" Phoebe whispers to me."No. Eth is a vegetarian, remember? Which means, what?" I ask her, trying to remind her once again that he does not eat meat."He doesn't like animals," Phoebe says simply.Eth chuckles at her reply, and I do the same. Phoebe has a way of making things a little less awkward. Thank God.“I love animals. That's why I don't eat them." He laughs, winking at me. I blush at his gesture, even though there was absolutely no romantic gesture behind it."I love animals, too. I want cheese pizza." Phoebe says simply."Baby, just because you eat meat doesn't mean you hate animals. We can get pepperoni pizza. I'll even try a slice." He tells her, knowing that Phoebe doesn't like plain cheese pizza."You
Anna POVOut of all the times that I blamed him for not putting his money into anything, I disregarded the amount of money he was still paying toward her medical expenses. I should have given him more credit. He did deserve it. I'll have to find a steady job so I can keep food on the table and clothes on our backs. I don't even know if I'll have time for school anymore. I want to cry. I want to break down and cry right here, but I can't even find it in myself to do that. I have to stay strong for Phoebe.But who is going to stay strong for me?We were leaving the church when I heard him call my name."Anna! "I turned around to see James jogging towards us. Phoebe gripped my hand softly, and I smiled down at her to the best of my ability. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He said, out of breath and staring at me with sad eyes."Thank you, James." I smile at him."Are you going to be okay?""Yeah, I think so," I assure him. I have to be."If you need anything, you'll
Ethan's POV"I should probably go into the other room now." She says, leaning up and uncovering herself from the white comforter."Wait, don't go." "No, this was a bad idea. I should get back into the other room. Phoebe is probably—""Phoebe is fine. She knows where we are. Please, Anna," I beg, sounding like the pathetic fuck that I am."Eth...""Please, Anna. I need you right now. I just...I need you. "I admit to feeling completely fucking defeated.She sighs and moves back into the bed with me. I pull her closer to me by instinct, and she tenses under my touch. I try and ignore it, but it breaks my fucking heart."I know you don't trust me, Anna. I know you might not ever trust me again. But I promise that I will try every day to be the man you thought I was. I fucked up, and I'm sorry," I whisper into her back. She didn't reply, but I didn't expect her to. "Get some sleep. You need it," I told her. Although she never replies to me verbally, she does something better than what I
Anna POV"So, Anna," Dane said, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Have you put any thought into Arizona?" He asks. Arizona? What is he talking about? Ethan dropped his fork on the plate, clearly shocked by his question. “Arizona?" I ask, confusion clear in my voice. "Oh, Ethan hasn't told you yet
Ethan POV"You'll get this back when you prove that you deserve it." He yelled, slamming my bedroom door behind him. I didn't come down for dinner that night, and screaming between my parents could be heard from upstairs. I know what they're fighting about. It's me. They always fight about me. I b
Ethan's POV. I'm trying my best to keep a happy face and a calm attitude. I swear, I am. After receiving my Mom's text message about a 'family dinner', I can honestly say I was less than pleased. As hard as she tries to keep this family together, she also knows in the back of her mind that it is a
Ethan POV"Hell no. There is no way in hell I'm going to bring Anna around you. Not more than she already has to be." I snapped. "I want this trip to be special for your Mother. She-" "I'm sorry, when the fuck did you decide that you wanted to be Husband Of The Year? You cheated on her. She deser
