The Background Girl

My first interaction with Ethan

He shut the door and I stood there like an paralyzed . I just didn't know what just happen ? Ethan Reed's , Oh no please be a dream . . . I quickly threw the T-shirt on me . I quickly wash my hands and dried up my hands . . . I zip the bag and hang it on my shoulder . . . . . and my heart start pounding in my chest . I look up at the ceiling and thought , " Jesus, take me now. Scoop me from this earth; I shall never recover. "

I recall my mental embarrassment list .

A mental list (and countdown) of my most embarrassing moments:

(5) That time when my third grade teacher announced that I was too smart for her class in front of my fellow third graders;

(4) That phase I went through in junior high when I thought jumpers were cool;

(3) That time when I burst into tears at my surprise party for no apparent reason;

(2) That time when I decided to become more active in my school's extracurricular stuff and showed up dressed for a school dance a week early;

(1) Just now;

I hope , he doesn't see anything please . . . please . . . taking a deep breath I reach out for door handle and pushed it . I was looking down at the floor to not make up any kinda of contact with him . As I step out of the restroom . . .

" Let me go in you i***t ! I have to pee " someone said .

" You f*****g moron ! I told you it's occupied and A girl is inside . " he said aggressively

When I gaze up and saw Ethan was standing turning his back towards me and strong arms spread wide almost like he was Guarding the door or maybe me . . . The boy standing in front of him saw me .

" Look , she is out now ! he yelled . Ethan turn his face in slow motion . . . UMMMM not in slow motion but that what I see ?

He did not look like a pirate.

He looked... familiar.

There was something there, in the handsome angles and deep, wicked shadows, the hollows of his cheeks, the straight line of his lips, the sharp line of his jaw- in need of a shave.

Yes, there was something there- a whisper of recognition.

He wore a pin-striped cap dusted with snow, the brim of which cast his eyes into darkness. They were a missing piece. The boy ran into the restroom , hitting my shoulder . His eyes became darker .

" Hey ! are you okay ? he ask me and his eyes were telling me he was concerned about me . I felt a Storm of butterfly in my stomach and which was never ending .

I wanted to say to him that I am not okay because of him . Unfortunately , words didn't came out of my mouth . I can't get my eyes off of him .

" You are beautiful because of the light you carry inside you. You are beautiful because you say you are, and you hold yourself that way . " he said and I couldn't believe on my ear's . He said thinks like that about me .

I almost got passed out And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me. He catches my hand and runs his gaze over me, his smile fading when he meets my eyes. "I wish I had the guts to kiss you right now."

It knocks me out: The way he says it send my body into an absolute free fall. "Then why don't you?" I ask, surprised at my own boldness. -

I made a pout to kiss him and he was coming closer and closer . . .

" Hello , you ! can't you talk I am asking you something what were you doing in male restroom . " he yelled , bursting my tiny heart and my beautiful dream .

I can't let the words escape my lips. it's never quite the right time

I fear that you'll run...

It's never quite the right place.

I didn't think that I would get here so quickly.

" Oh My God ! why you girls are so complicated ? can't you speak . " he said again but this time in an harsh way and which makes my whole body frame trembling . . . . . . . . . . . . .

" Ethan come over here , we are leaving ." his friends call him .

" I am coming Roy , just give me two more mint ! he yelled back and I was still standing like na lifeless body . He turn his face towards me again his eyebrow was frowned together . I felt the urge to say something .

" Ummm . . . I can explain that . Actually, a little boy bumped in to me and ended up spilling the drinks over me and you know it's cold outside , so I need to change but the female restroom was out of serves . As you can see I ended up using Male restroom . ' I said in one breath and tried not make any eye contact with him , avoiding eye contact with him I glance on my left side on the corridor where J was coming towards us .

" I got go and it wasn't my fault what should I do awkwardness interested in me . ' I said and walk passed him , Oh no I almost ran out of the there before he could say anything . I didn't dare to look back at him , my organs drop to my feet .

" Ella , Where you were ? you know Brittany left "

I locked arms with J and wheeled him around on the opposite direction of Ethan because I don't want J to see him .

" J come on we must leave my Dad is calling me . "

" Okay but you were wearing something else right and how do you change it . "

" A little boy bumped into me and spilled the drinks over me and that is why I changed and please drop me off to the store . "

I fasten up my walking pace and I literally dragged J out of there . When get out of the cafe and J told me he parked his car one block away .
