All Chapters of His Fake Hired Girlfriend: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Anna POV"I guess the situation with my crazy ex didn't ruin too much of this night?" He asks with a chuckle. "Not even the slightest." I grinned. He smiled at my reply and pulled me to his side as we finished the movie. I know he didn't want to seem like a baby and wanted to be the one to comfort me during the scary parts. I knew better when I saw him turn his head towards the wall with his eyes screwed shut every time someone let out a scream of pain on the screen. I grabbed the remote and handed it to him. "Let's change this to something else." I offered. "God, I was thinking you would never ask." He laughed, taking me up on my offer. He flipped through the stations and found Blades Of Glory. Honestly, it's one of the best movies so I didn't complain. No more than twenty minutes into the movie, Ethan spoke up once more. "You know, I do love this movie." He stated. "I do too." I smiled. "But...""Hmm?" I asked curiously. "I think I like kissing you more." He smirked. I looke

Anna POV"Thank you again for bringing us here today," I repeated for what had to be the fifteenth time today. He chucked and gave my hand a little squeeze. "It was my pleasure. I haven't been to the zoo in probably twelve years. I tend to forget how cool it can be." He admitted. "It's only this cool because you're here with us." I joked. "That's not a lie." He laughed. Our small talk continued until we were cut off by a loud cry from Phoebe. Ethan and I jumped up immediately and rushed over to where she was on the playground. "What happened?" I asked frantically, quickly bending down to her body on the ground. "I was r-running and f-fell." She sobbed. I looked for any signs of broken bones, or anything majorly serious. It didn't seem too bad, she just looked startled. "Hey, don't cry. Let me see." Ethan said, kneeling to her. He quickly examined her to reveal a couple of cuts across her knee. She was just scraped up for the most part. "Just looks like a couple of bad scrapes.

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 blame myself for most of their problems. Later that night, my Mom came upstairs and knocked on my bedroom door lightly. “Eth?" She asked sweetly. "Come in," I replied as she stepped into the room, laptop in hand. "Here. Take this back." She said, handing me the silver laptop. I took it with caution, not sure if it was going to be the best idea. "I'll take care of your father, okay? I'm so proud of you, Ethan. Your test score was amazing. Your father can just be very...demanding at times. That's all, okay? He is hard on you because he wants you to do well. He loved you very much. We both do." She smiled, ruffling my hair. "I love you too, Mom." I smiled back. She kissed my cheek and walk

Anna POVMonth later. "Come over," Ethan spoke from the other end of the phone. I sighed at his words, wanting nothing more than to be with him right now. "I can't. I'm watching Phoebe, remember?" I groaned. I looked over to Phoebe playing with her dolls on the floor. She is perfect. This perfect little human being on the floor doesn't deserve the life she has. I pray one day she can have more than this. "So? Bring her. I'm only going to be here tonight because my Mom made dinner. After that, I'm probably going back to my house. My bed is much bigger and much more comfortable." He laughed. "If you two want to stay with me, you can. I want you to." He assured me. I could practically hear his smile from the other end of the phone.I want to stay with Ethan tonight. It is the thing I look forward to most. One night we fell asleep after a movie night and late-night conversations. When I woke up, he had me pulled close to his body. Ever since that day, I have been hooked. Sleeping over

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? We are taking a family trip to Arizona. We mentioned it to him. We would love for the two of you to join us. The three of you, even." Dane smiled. I glanced over at Ethan and saw him gripping the edge of the table. One hand rested over his mouth. He was mad, I could tell. "No, he hadn't mentioned it to me," I said, eyes fixed on Ethan's. Ethan just shook his head at his dad's words. "Well, we told him to tell you. We will be leaving in about two weeks. Like I said, Lizzie and I would love it if you joined us. Everything would be paid for, of course. You can't put a price on quality time with your family." Dane smiled. Ethan huffed and threw his seat back. “Ethan," Dane warned, noticing
