Together Forever

Chapter 45

Evelyn's POV

I secretly take a look at Cathie who's sitting across my desk and I smile appreciatively. She's wearing a

navy blue blazer underneath a grey t-shirt and her hair is up in a ponytail. Very simple but still so

beautiful.

I close my laptop and she looks up, stopping playing with the paperweight.

"So Cathie, how's it going?"

"I'm doing just fine. Work and home, that's it." She says, her face glowing with a small smile.

I chuckle as I say, "Yeah. You're one unique girl. By the way, have you ever been in a relationship? Of

course, if you don't mind telling me."

"No, no, it's ok. Actually, I haven't. Just didn't get the time to think about something else. You know,

always being swamped with so many responsibilities." Says she, shrugging.

"Don't you sometimes wonder how it would be to have a caring, sweet boyfriend?"

She laughs, carefree, "To be honest, I do. But then I remind myself that I don't have the time and who

would like a simple girl like me?"

I roll my eyes, "Cathie, please! You're such a beautiful girl. I'm sure there are boys lined up to be with

you. You just don't notice." She chuckles, shaking her head.

"Umm...what do you think about Matt? How's he?" As soon as I bring up the topic, she looks down

seeming kinda nervous all of a sudden.

"I..you mean..."

"I mean does he seem good?"

"Yeah...he is helpful, charming, funny and-"

"And?" I ask.

"And good looking...I guess?" She chuckles nervously and I burst out laughing.

After all, it's Cathie.

"You guess?! Obviously, he's good-looking." I state, "Did you look at his eyes? Such gorgeous ocean

blue eyes."

Ethan would be mad if he could hear me!

"His eyes are beautiful. Yeah." A hint of blush creeps upon her cheeks as she smiles.

I think she has a tiny crush on him too. I ship!

I am about to speak again when I catch a glimpse of Matt walking into the building in the CCTV. I need

to leave soon.

I stand up and gather some files hurriedly that Cathie will have to work on now. Intentionally, I put some

more files so that they can spend more time together and at last when I'm done, I see her staring at the

piles of files with wide eyes.

I let out a chuckle before saying, "Too many files, right? That's why I asked Matt to come over to help

you with these."

Her eyes shoot up in surprise, "He's coming?"

"Yes!" I say in a chirpy voice.

I'm acting like a fangirl lol. Not my fault. I'm just excited.

I take my purse and proceed to leave when Cathie calls me, "Evie? Where are you going?"

"Me? Me… Oh, I just remembered I have to go home soon. Ethan caught a cold."

Such a lame excuse! *face-palms*

"Yeah. Bye." I turn around and bump into Matt hard and he stumbles back a little for the hit.

"Oww! Why are you in such a hurry?" He asks me.

"Because uhm... Ethan is sick?"

He narrows his eyes at me, "But I just saw him fine. I mean he's waiting for you in the parking..."

"Shut up!" I hit his head with my purse, "Ethan caught a cold, you forgot?"

He seems confused while I shove him aside from the doorway. He's stupid just like his friend.

Before leaving, I turn my head to see them staring at me, surprised.

I wave them bye and say, "Work attentively. Have a great time. Bye!"

Closing the door behind me, I head to the elevator laughing. After getting to the ground floor, I walk out

of the building and towards the parking lot where I see Ethan leaning against his car in a dark blue

denim shirt, sleeves rolled up, and messy hair with sunglasses.

He greets me with a mesmerizing smile as I reach him.

"Everything's okay? You never leave this early." He asks, tucking some hair behind my ear.

"Everything's good. I just made Cathie and Matt work together and I left saying you're sick. " I grin

cheekily.

"Really?"

"Yes. They'll spend more and more time together from today onwards because I ship!" I say, excitedly

and he laughs.

"Alright but I'm totally fine. So what are we supposed to do now?"

I think for a while before looking up at him smiling, "I wanna go to an amusement park!"

He puts off his sunglasses as he stares at me like I'm crazy.

"What?! Amusement park? How old are you again?" He asks, shocked, making me scowl.

"Fine. You don't have to go." I say, huffing, "I'll just go home. Not yours of course." I pretend to leave

just to be turned around again by him.

"Wait, not mine, then whose?"

I shrug, "Mine. Or maybe..."

"Maybe?"

"Liam's. You know he won't mind at all if I give him a surprise visit." I smirk causing him to shake his

head 'no'.

"What the fuck! No way. Never. Amusement park? Okay, fine. Get in the car."

I let out a little squeal, "Gladly."

Evelyn

"You want to get into that thingy?" I shout dragging Ethan with me.

"What? No! That's so high."

"That one?"

"That's so fast. You'll fall down."

"Then that one?"

"Oh my God, my head is spinning already."

"You're no fun at all." I pout and am about to ask him to let him get into that ride when I see a teddy

bear shop.

"Ahhhh! Ethaaaan! See what I found!"

I try to walk to the shop but he pulls me back immediately.

"Teddies? What the- no! We're not babies."

"Who said teddies are just for babies? Let me go please." I whine.

"I said no." He says sternly.

I frown, "I'm going to ask Liam to come here."

"Can I just bang my head on a tree? No Liam. I hate him. Ok, teddies are fine. Let's go."

"Yay!" I pull his cheeks as I sing 'Thank you' and we march towards the shop together.

After an hour, we leave the place as it becomes dark slowly. I feel really happy after a long time.

----------

Ethan's POV

I never thought there would come a day when I would have to go to an amusement park and buy

teddies. Like who ever imagined that cold, rude Ethan Jones would fall in love? And that's with

someone who is a baby sometimes?

But honestly, I enjoyed every moment of it. It was all so new to me but I would lie if I say I didn't love it.

Her cheerful, happy self...I would do anything to make her happy.

I take a glance at Evelyn, she's busy playing with the paws of her new Panda, a smile tugging on her

lips. She's so cute.

I look at the road for a moment before looking back at her.

"One panda wasn't enough? You needed another one?" I scowl, playfully.

She looks at me sadly, "You don't like pandas?"

"No."

I hide a smile as she keeps staring at me disappointingly. But that's for a while before her face glows

up.

"I know why you don't like my pandas." She giggles.

I narrow my eyes, "Why?"

"Because you are jelly!" She laughs, throwing her head back.

"I'm not."

"You are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No, no, no."

"Yes, yes, yes. Shut up! I love you!"

I look at her wide eyes, "You just said that to shut me up?"

"Of course. Or why? I don't love you. You know that." She smirks.

I scoff and turn around faking anger when my phone rings.

I receive the call and Matt screams from the other side.

"OH MY GOD! BRO, YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT CATHIE SAID. I THINK I'M GONNA GET A HEART

ATTACK!"

"I'm cutting the call right now if you don't talk in a human voice." I retort just to hear him laugh.

"Dude, Cathie said my eyes are beautiful and my heart went poof! I'm so happy like what the fuck- Can

I dance, please? And you know she's so so so pretty. Her eyes- OMG and her smile and everything.

I'm going crazy. Help meeee!"

I shake my head, sighing, "I'll talk to you when you're sober."

"Hahaha I'm not drunk but whatever. I have to get back to my baby. Ahh did I just call her baby? Yay,

my baby-"

I cut the call as I see Evelyn staring at me questioningly.

"Matt went crazy," I explain.

"Why?"

"Cathie said his eyes are beautiful."

She squeals, "Oh my God! Yass, my ship!"

"You both are high." I roll my eyes before getting my eyes back to the car.

Ethan

She opens the window and a heavy wind hits her, making the loose strands of hair spread all over her

face. Soon it starts raining and splashes of raindrops adorn her face and lips slowly just like raindrops

look on a fresh green leaf. Closing her eyes, she enjoys as more droplets fall on her skin and she

smiles.

I know I should focus on driving but the heck I just can't look away. Why does she have to be so

beautiful? I force myself to look at the road again and speed up.

After half an hour, I park the car in front of my house safely without any accident. Thank God.

It's already dark and the rain is still pouring down in torrents. I look beside me to see Evelyn rubbing

her eyes sleepily. She must be tired after all the fun today.

Opening the door, she's about to get down when I stop her.

"What?" She asks as I close the door again.

"We're not done yet," I reply, moving towards her.

"But I'm so tired. What do we have left?"

I chuckle, holding her face.

"This." And I press my lips on hers, catching her off guard.

She takes a moment to reciprocate while I hold her and make her sit on my lap. It's shadowy inside the

car, only the street lamps lighting it up a bit, the drizzling sound of the rain ringing along. Pulling her

close, I bite her lips slightly and slide my hand inside her thin top causing her to gasp. Her hair is still

pulled up in a bun, I pull out the hairband and her hair rushes upon her back in a swipe. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"I like your hair down," I say, pulling away.

Evelyn smiles before clasping our lips together again. She kisses me hard, wrapping her arms around

my neck while I rub my hand upon her waist in circles. These lips and this scent of her always drive me

crazy.

"I love you." She whispers in an unworldly soothing voice before getting down to my jaw as she places

a kiss there.

I can't do this anymore.

Taking off her top in an instant, I lay her down in the seat before claiming her lips once again.

"I love you too."
