SWNOVELS Chapter 94
Chapter 94
Ichecked my phone and saw it was just past 1:00 am I didn't want to wake up Lyla, so I grabbed a blanket from the closet and decided to go outside for a bit.
The night it was warmer than I expected. The stars looked amazing, much clearer and brighter than what one would see in the city.
I sat down on the deck, enjoying the view. Then, I heard a door open and saw Ethan coming out and walling over to the railing.
He was still wearing the same clothes as earlier, and there was something lonely about him as he stood there in the dark
I thought it was funny to think he could feel lonely: Ethan had always been in the spotlight. How could he possibly be lonely?
Just as I was about to go back inside, I saw Ethan take out a pack of cigarettes. He lit one and took a few puffs. I watched the smoke drit up as he smoked,
When did Ethan start smoking? I remembered he used to diske smoking and that none of his friends smoked either.
When Ethen turned and saw me, it felt like I'd been caught eavesdropping, I wasn't sure if I should stay or leave since moving might make it look like I was spying. Eventually, I decided to stay where I was After a while, Ethan put out his cigarette and walked over to the
"When did you start smoking?" Tasked, surprised.
At the same time, Ethan looked at me and asked, "Why are you still up?"
After a moment, we both started laughing. It was funny how we had chosen to speak at the same time.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came outside to look at the stars," 1 explained
Ethan shrugged. "I started smoking a little while ago
We both laughed, once again tickled by the odd synchronicity of our responses. We then stood facing each other in silence, enjoying the moment.
"Are you in a hurry to go to bed? than asked. "If not, would you stay and keep me company for a bir?
Something about Ethan seemed different tonight. So, I nodded and leaned against the railing, We stayed there for a while, just looking at the stars, before we both went back to our Tooms.
When I got back to my room, I heard Lyla's voice. "Eve, is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me," I said. I took off my shoes, climbed into bed, and asked, "Did I wake you up?
Lyla shook her head. Then, I turned off the bedside lamp and lay down.
"Then try to get some sleep"
It was quiet in the mom After a while, Lylamoved closer to me and snuggled up.
"I went outside to find you and saw you and Ethan together," she said. Then, she reached out and held my hand. "When I saw you two, it felt like you were meant to be together. She looked at me and asked, "Eve, do you still like him?"
