Chapter 105: Chapter 105
Ethan's POV
Michael's lips bunch into a beautiful smile as he finally sees me. For a while, his baby blue eyes had been searching for me among the crowd gathered here in the airport waiting lounge and I've been waving and jumping to get his attention.
For the last ten minutes, I had been standing here, impatiently waiting for him to come through the doors. The plane had landed fifteen minutes ago so I didn't think he would be that much longer. I actually arrived here an hour ago and I had been playing angry birds on my phone until I heard the flight announcement. His flight wasn't late or anything but I just came earlier, unable to control my excitement to see him.
I missed him so fucking much. I don't know how I made this three days pass without seeing him and feeling the softness of his lips. And I'm in great confusion and anxiety right now. Michael is acting quite strange.
When he headed home on Thursday evening without telling me, I actually thought he is leaving me. And when he didn't pick my calls and then switched off his phone, I made sure he left me. I even thought I'd never see him again. I don't know his home address. If he leaves me, I don't know where I should go to find him. (I'll make sure to get his address today itself.)
I really thought I was losing him. The only thing I could do was cry like a hopeless child and send him a lot of messages. I now feel totally embarrassed thinking about that. Even Grace was trying to console me untill 3 Am. I still didn't sleep and kept on weeping into the pillow, sending more and more messages and constantly checking whether Michael saw them.
Michael switched on his phone at almost 6 and I instantly called him. And then he was talking like nothing happened and was even scolding me for crying. He said his battery died. I haven't believed it. Cause then, why didn't he pick my calls before his battery died ? Anyway he said he won't leave me and I was half relieved.
I constantly texted and called him the last three days, just to tell ' I love you', to make sure he won't make up his mind to break up with me. Most often he was nervous and upset and irritated while talking to me. I could feel it in his voice. And he kept on leaving annoyed little sighs, ever too often, making me fear he is just lying and he won't return.
But he surprised me today morning. I didn't call him cause I was afraid he would ask me whether my Mom came to know about our relationship. I was sure he would get really mad at me. But I was totally taken aback when he called me and said it's okay. And he was laughing and giggling.
He was still so happy and bubbly when I called him two more times, later at noon and two hours ago while he was about to board his flight. He sounded so excited to see me. I don't know what suddenly happened to him.
I'm sure something big itself happened. Cause he is now rushing towards me, smiling wide, his gorgeous dimples on full display.
" Ethan..! ", he squeals as he reach near me. Then he literally falls over my chest and hugs me tightly, totally taking me aback. I hug him back with widened eyes. He quickly pecks my cheeks and my mouth drop open.
He pulls away and giggles a little, his cheeks starting to take a pink shade and fingers fiddling with the belt of his bag. As I keep on staring at him in surprise, he blushes more red.
" Uhm..let's g..go ?", he finally asks, stretching his hands to me. I nod and take his hands in a daze.
He is smiling as we walk out of the airport, towards the parking, hand in hand.
" Why are you smiling ?", I ask him.
" Uhm...you look really h..handsome today.", he says tilting his head. My heart literally jump at that and I feel the tip of my ears turning red.
" Really ? Is that why you are smiling ?", I ask.
" Yeah..", he giggles, squeezing my hands and walking fast, dragging me along with him as if impatient to get into the car.
Soon we reach my car and hop in. I tilt my head and stare into his baby blue eyes.
" Baby, I missed you so much.", I tell him.
" Ethan..I..uhm..I..", he pauses and turns his gaze outside the window, biting down on his bottom lips.
" What's wrong ?", I ask.
" N..nothing..", he stammers shaking his head. I can't understand what suddenly happened. Why is he nervous now ? I want to kiss him. Will it be alright if I kiss him now ?
" There's something. Tell me baby, what is it ?", I ask whilst leaning forward and pulling on his seat belt to buckle him, safely. But he grabs my hands. Then he presses his soft plump lips on mine.
I instantly start kissing him. He kisses me back, closing his baby blues. I eventually cup his face with my both hands and deepens the kiss. Our lips move against each other in sync as we kiss each other passionately. I nibble on his bottom lip asking for entrance which he quickly gives me, parting his lips. I slide my tongue into his mouth and swirl it with his, caressing and feeling the softness of his sweet cavern.
We kiss until our kisses get really sloppy and we both starts panting from lack of air. I pull away and smile at him widely, whilst trying to catch my breathe. My baby gasp and breathe heavily beside me, his cheeks now a delicious pink. Even the sound of his breathe is so cute.
" Baby...I lov.."
He suddenly turn and closes my mouth with his palm before I can complete my sentence. I look at him confused.
" W..wait ! ", he pants, his breathe fans on my lips. He take a few deep breathes whilst staring into my eyes with those ocean eyes.
" Ethan..", he finally says. He still has his palm covering my mouth. I nod my head a little in response.
" I love you."
My eyes go wide and my heart starts pounding hard against my chest. Goosebumps litter across my whole body, making me shiver. He removes his palm from my mouth, revealing my parted lips.
" I wanted to say it f..first this time.", he says while I stare at him, can't able to believe what I just heard.
" Baby...please.....please say it once again.", I say.
" I love you Ethan. Let's date.", he says.
" Wh...what ?", I stammer in surprise and joy. I can't believe this is happening. Am I just dreaming ?
" Yeah..now that both our parents know, l..let's officially date.", he says, his lips curling upward, making his dimples visible.
" What did you just say ? You told your parents ?", I ask, now totally taken aback.
" Yeah..I did.", he nods. I look away, out of the front glass, smiling like crazy. I think I have never felt this much happy in my life before. I feel like crying. And yes, my eyes starts pooling with tears.
" So you...actually went home to tell your parents ? ", I ask.
" Yeah..", he smiles and grabs my hands, intertwining our fingers. I thought he was leaving me. But he just went to come out to his parents.
He really confessed to his parents ! And it's the big thing that happened. Sure they are okay with him dating me.
" A..are you crying ?", he asks squeezing my hands.
" You worried me a lot.", I say, brushing away my tears.
" Sorry..", he says, giggling a little.
" So you told them today ?", I ask.
" Yesterday night.", he says.
Yeah, I knew it ! That's the reason for this sudden change in him. He was so anxious when I called him yesterday evening. So he was then preparing himself for the confession. He was just nervous and confused the last two days about coming out to his parents.
" You lied to me that your relatives are coming. No relatives came, right ?", I ask.
He nods. " I lied."
" And your battery didn't die. You just switched off, right ?", I ask. He again nods.
I leave a sigh. " Baby, you have no idea, how much worried I got. Why did you have to switch off your phone ?"
He looks down at his lap." Ahm..I just wanted to th..think peacefully and m..make a decision."
So I simply worried and wasted a lot of tears.
As I don't reply anything, he looks up at me from under his lashes. I instantly grab his waist and lifts him up from his seat, placing him on my lap. I crash my lips on him, slipping my tongue between his parted lips. A small gasp escapes his mouth before he snakes his hands round my neck. I start hungrily wandering around his gums whilst holding him close to my chest. I meet my tongue with his and circle around it. He quietly groans but follows along.
" So your parents are okay with it.", I say, soon pulling away from our heated make out sessions. He nods, staring at my lips, looking all hot. "What did they say ?", I ask squeezing the side of his waist, causing a moan to leave his lips. " Tell me baby.."
" They said...it's...it's okay. They said....love has no gender and I'm f..free to love anyone.", he says and shivers as I slide my hands underneath his shirt, my fingers tips brushing over his warm skin.
" See, you simply worried, right ? Didn't I tell you, they would accept you?", I ask. He nods through hooded eyes.
He fully closes his baby blues and throws his head backward, exposing his smooth unmarked neck as I roam my hands on his back, loving the way he squirms on my lap.
I lean down and place soft kisses on his neck. He shivers and grips onto the back of my shirt as I kiss down his neck, licking and sucking on his warm skin. He let's out a moan when I sucks on a particular spot. "Baby, shall I mark you here ?", I ask kissing on the spot again. He nods his head after a moment and I immediately start sucking and nibbling there causing him to let out moans.
" Ethan..", he moans out my name as my teeth gently brush on his skin. His fingers entangle in my locks and play with them. I roam my hands down and gives his ass cheeks a squeeze, earning another soft moan from him.
I finally pull away when his skin blooms a bright red from my assault. I can't help but smile wide, looking at the pretty art work I created on his skin. And now everyone will know he belongs to me. I can't believe I can now tell everyone that he is my boyfriend. Michael is mine now !
" Baby..I love you so much.", I say.
" I love you too, Ethan.", he replies and hugs me, snuggling his head into the crook of my neck.
