Ch.6 Chapter 6 - Blind Dates and a Bo...

This needs editing, sorry....

ââââ-

It's been a few days now and I still couldn't get past the idea that my Mom would most likely marry Ethan if he keeps on bringing chicken soup for her.

Everyday, Ethan would cook chicken soup and she'd gobble it all up, as usual. That's what she eats everyday at the hospital and even when she finally got home.

Like right now, I'm sitting here watching her slurp the soup straight from the bowl. She tipped the bowl upward and the remnants of the soup poured down her mouth as she swallowed it all. Some coming out of the corner of her mouth.

Ethan and I just watched her from our seats. Ethan looking at her in amusement, a goofy grin on his face. Me, frowning like an idiot and worrying about her. She puts the bowl on the table and drink water. She starts grabbing the extra chicken soup but I held my hand up to stop her. She looks at me, confused.

"Alright! You had your chicken soup. Now both of you listen to me." I pointed towards the two of them. I pointed at Mom, "You stop eating so much chicken soup and eat other healthy foods." I then pointed at Ethan, who was still smiling, "And you! Stop feeding my Mom chicken soup or I will castrate you" I threatened.

He was unfazed and grinned. Oh come on!

"Are we understood?" I narrowed my eyes at them and Ethan shrugged before placing his arms around my shoulders.

"M'kay. As long as Michelle stops bugging me to make some" He pecked my cheek and I smiled. I looked across the table and saw my Mom pouting.

"That's not fair! I love chicken soup! You can't take it away from me! I won't let you!" She crossed her arms defiantly and held her chin up.

I threw her a pointed look and said in a stern voice, "Mom. You are eating other foods and that's final!"

"B-but-that's not-you can't-Amber!" She screamed.

"Okay, how 'bout a deal. I'll let you eat chicken soup when I see that you're eating other healthy foods. Think of it as a reward" I shrug and held out my hand, "Deal?" I asked.

She thought for a second before shaking my hand and muttering, "Deal" I smiled and got up to wash the dishes. Ethan was laughing at the both of us and our childish antics.

"I'm gonna go to my garden and you stay here and do whatever you want." Ethan and I nodded before she walked out the back and started watering her roses.

"You and your mom are something else" Ethan's voice chuckled. He wrapped his hands around my waist and nuzzled his face on my neck. I giggled and wiped my bubbly hand across his nose. He gasped slightly and loosened his hold on me. I wriggled out of his grasp and looked at him, smiling.

He swiped on his nose slowly and gazed on his bubbly finger and looked at me. There was a glint in his eyes as he grinned at me wickedly. He placed his hand on the sink and played with the water while grinning at me.

"You wouldn't." I said. I backed up until my back hit the counter.

"Oh, yes I would!" Before I knew it, my face was drenched in water and I gasped.

Ethan laughed at me and splashed the water at him, "Aha!" I ran for my life right then. I could hear his laughing voice and footsteps were next heard and I dashed out the backdoor and hid in the shed, giggling quietly.

"Amber..... Amber, where are you?" He sang. I covered my mouth to keep from making a sound. Big mistake. I accidentally knocked out the shovel with my elbow and it clattered on the ground. I winced and closed my eyes.

When I opened them, Ethan was standing in front of me holding a hose. Oh shit. He turned on the hose and I was completely drenched by the time I made it out of the shed and ran for my life.

"Ahh!" I was screaming hysterically as he kept spraying my butt. I laughed liked crazy and stopped abruptly and turned around to face him. Pretty big mistake. Ethan didn't have time to stop and we both sprawled on the ground with a thud. Ethan quickly jumped into action and sent his hand forward to not crush me with his body.

We were really close that our noses were touching and I could feel his breath on my lips. I smiled up at him and he smiled back before he leaned forward and placed a passionate kiss on my lips to which I responded immediately. I wrapped my arms around his neck and played with the tips of his hair and moaned unintentionally.

"Well, this is not the welcome expected." a deep male voice said from behind us and I quickly untangled myself from Ethan and faced the man responsible for the interruption of our make out session.

"Luke!!" I shrieked. Oh gawd....... His entire family was there and the kids didn't really need the image. My mother was on the sidelines watching us the exchange with amusement in her eyes.

"Exactly who is this man that is sucking my sister's face? Because I am in the mood of punching someone right now." His hands were in tight fists and his pointed look was directed at Ethan and Ethan only.

"Luke!" His pregnant wife, Christie, scolded him but he paid her no mind.

"Daddy, Aunt Ami is sitting on the ground! Can I sit too?" His youngest, four-year-old Cassie, tugged on his sleeve and pointed at me.

His eldest, ten-year-old, genius Matthew, pulled his sister aside and whispered in her ear.

"You can't sit right now, Cass... The adults are talking. Let's go play inside!" Thank you Matthew! That boy is such an angel, I have no idea why he doesn't have a pair of wings and a halo above his head.

"Okay!" Cassie followed her brother inside and they left the adults on their own. Ethan and Amber have already stood up all wet and filthy with grass on their clothes. Ethan cleared his throat awkwardly and they all turned to him.

"I don't believe we've properly met, I'm Eth-" He didn't get to finish his sentence because Luke's fist was already on his face.

God damn it Luke!
