Chapter 5

I'm going to edit this book after I'm finished with this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ruffled through all the lingerie Mandy packed and I smiled. Edward is very lucky. I choose some silk pajama shorts and a matching silk top. I stepped in the shower and let the warm water cascade down my naked body and lathered myself in soap and shampooed my hair before stepping out and dried myself. I changed into my clothes and toweled dried my hair while going outside the bathroom. I found myself staring at Ethan who was in bed with only sweatpants on.

His sculpted chest was in full view and he had a sheen of sweat on his defined abs. I forgot the AC was off. I turned the air conditioner on and continued drying my hair until I became satisfied and hanged my towel on my old study chair.

"You look absolutely delicious." I smiled and turned to look at Ethan who was still sprawled in my bed but with his eyes open.

"Complimenting me will get you nowhere tonight." I flipped the covers and tucked myself in. Ethan scooted closer to me and placed his hand loosely on my hips. I positioned myself so so I was facing him and him facing me. We smiled at each other and Ethan leaned in.

"I wasn't trying to get any where. But if you want......" He whispered before trailing off and leaned even closer. His lips inches from mine. "Maybe I can reconsider" he added.

My heart was beating hundred miles a minute and I couldn't stop blushing. He grazed his lips slightly on my own and pulled back, chuckling.

"Tease." I muttered unhappily.

"I wonder who started it....." He teased, laughing quietly. I hit his chest playfully and laughed.

Once our laughter subsided, I snuggled closer to him and he held me tight. I couldn't even ask for a better moment. If I could sleep every single night and wake up every morning with him beside me, I'd die a happy woman.

I closed my eyes and sighed dreamily before drifting into a dream that included Ethan and a bunch of little me's and Ethan's.

Sun shined through the curtains and I plunged my face in my pillows to block out the light. I groaned and stretched my hand out to snuggle to the beautiful man beside me. Only........ No one was there.

I peeked one eye open and, sure enough, Ethan wasn't there. I groaned and rolled onto his side of the bed. I sat up and rubbed my tired eyes before sluggishly walking down the stairs and was immediately hit with the smell of bacon and coffee. Ooohhh, bacon..........

"I smell bacon...... And I want some!!" I shouted at Ethan who was still wearing his sweatpants and an apron that covered his shirtless chest. Ethan looked up at the sound of my voice and pouted. It was a very cute pout, mind you.

"I was going to give you breakfast in bed" he continued pouting like a little child and I laughed, walking over to him and kissed his pouty lips. He quickly responded and dropped the fork he was holding and snaked his hand down my waist. His hands decided to explore a bit more and he cupped my ass. I giggled against his lips and smacked his hand away before pulling back from him and left him standing there with a boner. If the bulge on his sweatpants was anything to go by.

"You are very mean" I wiggled my finger at him and he continued cooking while I perved on him. He was such a sight to see.

"I made some soup for your Mom by the way. It's on the table. You can try some if you want." I nodded and walked over to the table where a steel container was placed and opened it to reveal chicken soup. I sipped some and moaned in delight. Gosh, that man can cook. Why is he so perfect? He's smart, handsome, and an amazing cook!

"This is so delicious!" I squealed and got myself some more on my bowl before devouring it.

"Hey, slow down there! Save some for your Mom" Ethan chuckled and I blushed. He placed my breakfast in front of me and I ate like a pig. While he watch me with amusement as he ate.

I licked my lips and watched as Ethan's eyes followed my tongue's movement and his eyes darkened. Probably with lust. I decided to play with him so I licked my fingers and made a popping sound as I pulled it out from my mouth and I swear, Ethan looked like a wild animal. He growled quietly and, as if he lost all control, he stood up and had me pinned down against the counter and was kissing me like a rabid animal. He was grinding his pelvis on my lower half and I moaned, raking my hands through his smooth hair and pulled him closer. I pulled back for air but he didn't stop kissing me instead, he trailed kisses from my jaw down to my neck and left love bites as he kissed my collarbone but before he could go down to my breasts, the house phone rang. We both jumped and groaned at the same time.

He got off me and helped me down the counter. I couldn't stop blushing. Who knows what could've happened if the phone didn't ring? It'd have lead to sex and I most definitely wasn't ready for my first time right now. I picked up the phone and held to my ear while Ethan put the dishes in the sink.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hi, this is Nurse Adelaide, is this Ms. Amber Smith?" Panic surged through me at would could possibly happen to my mother.

"Yes, this is her. Is my mother alright?" You could tell by the tone of my voice that I was panicking.

"Oh! Everything's alright! Your mother is just looking for you. Sorry I scared you, sweety." I sighed in relief and let the panic go away before speaking.

"Thank God. Just tell my Mom I'll be there" She replied with an 'ok' and hang up.

"Who was that? You sounded panick-y" Ethan asked, concerned.

"Oh that was just my mom's nurse. My mom wanted to know when I'll visit her. She's demanding to see me" I chuckled lightly and headed upstairs before calling out, "Do you want to go to the hospital with me?!" I asked.

"Of course, I will!" Ethan chuckled and I proceeded to take a shower.

I changed into some jeans, a light pink sweater and some cute boots to go with it before heading down to see Ethan heating up the soup and was currently on his Iphone, probably checking up on the company.

"Hey." I called out. He looked up and smiled. He looked absolutely handsome wearing jeans and black sweater with a white shirt underneath.

"I'm just heating it up and we can go when it's done." As if on cue, the microwave dinged and he quickly packed it in a container and we headed out the door. I locked the door and slipped the key on my purse as well as my phone, before meeting Ethan on the car and he started it up.

"So....." I trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"So, I'm meeting your Mom today." He stated casually, glancing at me before concentrating on the road, "Any precautions I should take?" He added.

"Oh she'll love you, I just know it" I beamed. Who wouldn't love Ethan? He's perfect!

"I sure hope so. Wouldn't want my girl's mom hating me, now would we?" He laughed. His laugh was very contagious and I joined in.

"You made her her favorite so I think she'll definitely like you." I forgot to mention earlier that my Mom has a fetish for chicken soup.

"You didn't tell me that earlier" he quipped. I blushed at the thought of what kept me from telling him.

"I was uh...... A bit preoccupied" I mumbled. He chuckled lightly and intertwined our hands together, a smile on his lips as he drove. I grinned and squeezed his hand gently and he squeezed back.

We arrived at the hospital and I hopped out of the car with Ethan in tow. I spotted room 210 and knocked on the door before opening it. My mom was there reading a book. She must's borrowed it from a nurse.

"Hey mom" I said softly. She looked up and smiled at me before opening her arms and welcomed me in a hug.

"Who's this young man?" She asked as I pulled back. Ethan was standing there with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Mom this is Ethan Parker, my boyfriend, Ethan this is my mom, the ever blooming Michelle" my mom scoffed at the introduction and laughed. I wrapped my arm around Ethan's waist and he offered his hand out to my mom.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Smith. I can see where she get's her beauty from." My mother shook his hand and snorted.

"Flattery will get you no where, son, she got her looks from her dad" She smiled at me as I opened the container of chicken soup. When the smell hit her nose, her eyes widened and she practically jumped closer to the table.

"I believe that is chicken soup, yes?" Ethan and I laughed at her eagerness and I nodded.

"Yes mom, it's chicken soup. Ethan made it for you" I handed her the soup and spoon and she slurped on it like crazy.

"I love you now!" She pointed the spoon at Ethan who sat next to me and continued eating her food.

"I told you my mom would love you" I whispered to him. Instead of answering me, he just kissed me softly on the lips and laughed before nodding.

"You two are very cute! I want some grandchildren soon, kay?" My mom was beaming with joy and her last statement made me blush.

"Mom! We haven't even had sex yet!" I scolded. The minute I said that, I immediately regreted it. Ugh! Stupid mouth!

"What? You're still as virgin as Mother Mary?" She shrieked. Ethan choked on his saliva and turned to me wide eyed.

"You're still a virgin?" He asked, his eyes wide.

"Like Mother Mary" Mom muttered.

"Mom!" I complained. She held her hands up and looked at me innocently.

"What?" She asked, feigning innocence. I sighed and turned to Ethan who was still shell-shocked at the revelation.

"Yes, I'm still a virgin" I mumbled. He smiled at me before kissing me tenderly and held my face.

"I can't believe you're still a virgin. What about your old boyfriends?" He asked.

"I don't know, it just didn't feel right." I shrugged, "I guess, that's why they broke up with me. Because I couldn't give them their 'needs'" I emphasized the word 'needs' and slumped down on the chair.

"Well, I'd be honored if I was your first" he muttered.

I laugh slightly and said, "Oh, I plan to" I pecked his lips and rested my head on his shoulder. Mom was looking at us in amusement.

"I can't believe I'm sitting here watching my daughter talk about planning with her boyfriend about her virginity" We laughed at that.

We stayed for a few hours before my stomach rumbled and Ethan and I decided to go out for lunch. He drove the car to my favorite diner here at my town and I smiled. There was too many memories in here. This was where I worked on my teenage years and this was where I first met my first boyfriend before. And this was where my friends and I would hang out.

"What are you smiling at?" Ethan asked, a grin on his handsome face.

"I used to work here when I was in highschool. I wonder if Old Man Sam is still running this place." I smiled at the mention of Sam. He was like another grandpa to me. When I asked, if I wanted to work here, he gave me the job in a heartbeat. Said he needed some strong bones.

"Well, come on. Let's get inside. I'm starving" he rubbed his stomach and I laughed.

We opened the doors together and I looked around. It was still the same but with new paint on the walls and a new arrangement of the booths. Everyone was very busy since there was quite a few customers today.

"Well, if it isn't Amber darling!" I looked at the counter to see an old, pudgy man with balding hair and wrinkles on his face. A cane was on his leg as he looked me up and down with the brightest smiles I have ever seen him. He looked to be on his seventies now.

"Old man Sam!"I ran towards him and hugged him while he hugged me back.

"It's been years and you didn't bother visiting me!" He scolded. I laughed at him.

"You still running the place, old man?" I asked. He shook his head and pointed towards the kitchen where a guy who looked to be in his middle twenties was cooking expertly. He looked just like Sam when his back was towards us.

"See that man?" I nodded. "That's my grandson. His damn father didn't want anything to do with the diner. At least his son took after the diner. He's still single, you know? You'd be a perfect match!" He beamed at me. I shook my head at Sam and smiled at him, apologetically.

"I'm sorry Sam but I have a boyfriend already" I looked at his face but he was still smiling.

"No wonder that man behind you is mad." He pointed behind me and I turned to see Ethan with a frown on his face. I giggled and he walked towards me and possessively wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Sam, this is my boyfriend Ethan. Ethan, this is Old Man Sam or Sam" I introduced the two of them and Ethan held his hand out to Sam.

"Nice to meet you, Sam. I would highly recommend you not to match my girlfriend with your grandson." Me and Sam laughed at him and Sam just waved his hand at Ethan after he shook Ethan's hand.

"My dear boy, I was merely testing if you'd be mad at me or not. This shows if you really cared about her" Sam pointed to me and I giggled. This was how Sam would test my boyfriends ever since I worked here.

"You don't need to worry, Ethan. This is how Sam is with my previous boyfriends. He'd matchmake me with a worker or a customer when he knew my boyfriend was behind me and if my boyfriend would get mad, he'd pass the test if he truly cared for me and if not then..... He failed." I shrugged and Ethan's face was priceless. He looked embarrassed.

"Oh, uh.... Sorry about that. I uh was just... Well..." He stuttered. Sam laughed loudly and was holding his pudgy belly.

"My dear boy, your even better than the others she had!" He patted Ethan's back maybe a little too much and Ethan winced slightly. I just stood there watching them in amusement.

"Well, I bet you're both hungry. Let's get you some food. You go to your booth. It's still there. I'd have killed my grandson if he moved that booth. Your usual?" I nodded and signaled for him to make it two. I pulled Ethan to a booth that was situated near the window and had a view of the forest beside the diner.

"You are going to love the food here. Sam's a natural at cooking and all their recipes were from their ancestors. But Sam added a little more to it" He nodded at me and smiled. We talked for a few minutes when a girl about sixteen or seventeen approached us.

"Hey guys, can I get you anything to-" before she could finish her sentence Sam's booming voice was heard across the diner.

"Mikayla don't you ask for Amber's drink! I'm serving her!" We laughed at Sam and saw his grandson carrying a tray behind him and was walking in our direction.

"Wait...Amber.....Amber!" Mikayla's face lit with recognition and she beamed at me, "You're the girl Sam's always been talking about! He said you worked here before when you were in highschool" She said to me in awe.

I was shocked at first. I mean, I knew Sam favored me but I didn't how much he favored me. I just smiled at her and nodded my head.

"Yeah, I am Amber. I didn't know he talked about me that much." I raised my eyebrow at Sam who was looking at me, guilty as charged.

"You're his favorite worker! He practically kicked Stephen's ass because Stephen was renovating the place! He didn't want your booth to be moved" Mikayla said, laughing.

"Is that so?" I raised both eyebrows at Sam and he grinned smugly. Mikayla left with a smile on her face.

"So you must be the infamous Amber." A man who looked like a younger version of Sam placed the food in front of us and smiled at me.

"Yes, that'd be me. But I don't remember being infamous" I chuckled. "You must be Stephen." I held out my hand and he shook it warmly.

"This is my boyfriend, Ethan." They shook hands and was soon in a conversation. At least Ethan was nice to the grandson. To the grandfather, I'm not so sure.

"Oi! Stop your talking and let them eat, Stephen." Sam commanded and Stephen waved before going back to the kitchen, grandfather in tow.

"So you like it?" I asked Ethan as I ate my food.

"This is delicious!" He said, his mouth filled with food.

I laughed at the sight and ate my portion. This day was turning better than expected.
