บททั้งหมดของ His Fake Hired Girlfriend: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Anna POVAs we approached the end of our trip, reality began to sink in even more than before. This whole situation with Eth is getting out of hand. I need to tell Dane that I'm done with this shit. I can get a better paying job and work for my money. I don't need to use Eth in order to get paid. It isn't worth it. Other than the terrible guilt I feel, our trip has gone really well. Eth Taught me how to ski and snowboard. Well, I say he taught me. In reality, I spent more time on my ass than I did on my feet. I wish I were able to snowboard and ski with grace, but it simply isn't made for me. He insisted that snow just isn't my thing, and I'll be better at surfing when we take a trip to the beach. If you even make it to the beach with him. My subconscious doesn't know when to shut the hell up. "We have dinner with Christy and her husband tonight. After that, we need to pack our things for the flight home tomorrow night. I guess tomorrow morning can be spent doing whatever. You kids

Anna POV"Get some sleep. We will be home soon." Ethan whispered in my ear. "I want to watch the plane take off, first." I yawned, barely able to keep my eyes open. "There will be many more trips, I promise." He said, kissing my temple and pulling me into his side. Phoebe was already asleep in the seat next to him. Ethan sat in between the two of us, wanting to be able to be near the both of us. "This was so much fun. Thank you for bringing us." I yawned. "Thank you for coming. Now get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we land. Do you want me to take you to your house or mine?" He asked. I want to stay with Eth. I don't want to be at home. I don't want to go back to the terrible reality. I don't want to see my dad. I don't want to have to worry about anything. I just want to sit with Ethan and enjoy my time with him. "Yours." I smiled, closing my eyes and leaning my head against his shoulder. “Anna, I love you." He whispered. "I love you, too. So much." I whispered back. I fel

Ethan POV"Can I stay with you? Please, Ethan. I can't go home. Please? I can sleep on the couch. Just don't make me go home. Please." She begged, looking up at me with her teary eyes. Despite any past we might have had, I couldn't leave her alone. Not right now, and not like this. "Of course you can. Just...let me run the girls home, okay? They don't live too far away. Just stay here and I'll be right back, okay?" I said, pulling away from her embrace."Do you promise?" She asked, "You know...that you'll come back?" She mumbled."I promise. Stay here, okay?" I promised her, before stepping away and walking out of the house.As I approached the car, Anna was looking at me like I was fucking insane. She got out of the car as soon as she saw me walking towards the driver's seat."What the fuck is going on?" She yelled, though barely above a whisper."Listen, I know that we had plans but I can't do it right now. Haley is going through some shit right now with her family and she needs a

Anna POVBefore Ethan could say anything in response to my dad's comment, one of the servers came out with our food. Everything looked amazing. Hell, even Phoebe's food looked good. Ethan automatically started to cut her chicken strips and fries into little pieces so they would cool off faster. My dad watched him with a steady glare. "What are you doing?" My dad asked rudely, clearly confused by Ethan's intentions. "I'm cutting her food for her so she doesn't burn her mouth or choke." He states, not looking up from the plate. "I think you're trying a little too hard, don't you think?" My dad scoffed. "How is cutting her food up trying too hard?" He asked, cocking one of his eyebrows. Oh lord. Here it comes, the battle of the century. "Daddy, I like it when Ethan cuts my food for me," Phoebe said to our dad, holding out a piece for him to eat. He looked at the piece in her hand with slight disgust. She, on the other hand, had a big smile plastered on her face. When she saw that he

Ethan POV I mumbled, not wanting everyone in the hall to listen to what I was saying. "I guess I'll just start with this. I love you. You were a better father to me than my own had ever been. You...you turned me into the man I am today. You taught her how to drive a stick shift. You taught me how to properly use an Excel power-sheet. You taught me how to play the guitar, and even gave me one of your old ones. I still play that guitar. You taught me how to love someone, and how to love someone with all of my heart. Even though Haley and I....you never once made me feel guilty about leaving her. You always saw both sides of the story and never got mad or upset with me. You are the most amazing human I've met, and I owe you everything. I wish there was more I could do for you. I wish I had seen you more before all of this. I just wish things could have been different for you." I said, holding his cold, shaking hand. I'm positive that his physical body can't hear or understand a single
