Chapter 54
*Three years ago or more*
Amelia Sinclair got off her plane in Cancun, then she met the rest of the gang, Ethan and Anita at the reception of their private resort, but Jackson was missing. She looked at Ethan, “Where’s your brother” he asked and he shrugged in response typing away on his phone. It’d been about seven months since they kissed on New Years, and they had kissed many more times after that, even though he hadn’t officially asked her to be his girlfriend but she was hopeful. She was in love with him, the way he looked at her before he kissed her, his random gifts to her but yet it still felt like something was missing, and she knew exactly what. That was why she planned this trip, she was finally going to have sex with Ethan and then he’ll be her boyfriend, and everything would be right with the world or so she thought
Quickly, she dialed Jackson’s phone “Where are you?” she yelled into the receiver “Everyone’s here, except you”
“I was going to call you in a bit” she heard him say “I had to go Switzerland with my dad, he insisted”
“That sucks, that’s a boring summer. Can’t you get out of it? I miss you, I haven’t seen you in a while”
“Well you’ve been busy with your new boyfriend, you clearly don’t have my time anymore” Jackson kept his tone light to hide the animosity that festered within. He wasn’t in Switzerland, he had no intentions on going on that vacation with them because he couldn’t stand another second of Amelia rallying around Ethan, not with his unrequited emotions for her, it was better he stayed away.
“That’s why I planned the trip, so we can all spend some time together. Come on Jackson, I miss my best friend”
“I’m sorry, I have to go now anyways. I’ll see you when you’re back in the city” the line went dead. Amelia sighed, chucking her phone back into her purse, turning to look at her friends seriously engrossed in their phones.
“Guys!” she yelled “Let’s ditch the phones for a minute, we’re here to have fun” she said. She walked up to the receptionist to get the keys to their room. She gave Ethan his first and whispered into his ears “I have a surprise for you, maybe later if you’re good” she smirked and he smirked back
“I’m ready for anything and you know I’m always good” he smiled “I’ll catch you guys later, I’m a bit jet-lagged” he said to them and walked off while Anita quickly moved to Amelia side, a giddy look on her face.
“I totally heard that, what surprise?”
“I’ m not telling you” Amelia said, a coy look on her face as she linked arms with Amelia.
“Come on, I’m on a need to know”
“Okay fine, I’ll tell you” Amelia agreed, gesturing her to come closer so she could whisper in her ears.
“I’m going to have sex with Ethan” she whispered and Anita squealed immediately, like the giddy friend she pretended to be.
“Shhhh people are going to hear” Amelia shushed her immediately, a shy smile still on her face
“But have you ” Anita was going to ask and Amelia understood immediately, shaking her head “Have you?” she asked back.
“When I was 16, with a boy called Jared in high school. It was the most awkward thing ever plus we were both inexperienced”
“How can it be less awkward?” Amelia asked
“I’m sure Ethan’s experienced and also you don’t want to act like a total prude, it could be a huge turn off”
The wheels went turning in Amelia’s head for more questions to ask “I mean we haven’t discussed it yet, and I have a feeling he’s waiting for me to bring it up or something”
“Has he ever made the move?”
“Once, but I panicked and shut down and he hasn’t since then”
“Just go into his room with booze and matching underwear under your robe, he’d go crazy. Guys like stuff like that but don’t do it now, you have to wait till towards the end of the vacation, in case he breaks your heart at least you had a good time”
“Good point” Amelia nodded “You’re such a good friend, I love you”
“I love you too” Anita said back, even though she knew she had something else up her sleeve. She wasn’t leaving this trip without Ethan on her arm
“And God, I’ll literally die if Ethan breaks. I don’t think I have the mental capacity to withstand that especially after giving him my cookie”
“Cookie? What are you? 14?” Anita laughed.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
