20.lose you to love me

I open my eyes, waking up from my slumber.

It was almost 6 in the evening,I see that I was alone in my bedroom.

I guess he already left.

I get up and freshen up to get to the dance practice as I already missed the morning session.i decide I'll have shower later as I'll be all sweaty coming home.

I put on a pair of shorts and full sleeve shirt, tieing my hair in a pony tail.and leave the house

..........

Maybe I shouldn't have talked to Ethan about Ezra,he looks perplexed everytime at her mention.his eyes were red from tears after our conversation today, I guess ezras topic kinda triggers him someway....he behaves light struck when I talk about her,even that day when he came over and he left my house suddenly without telling after I mentioned Ezra....does he by any chance knows Ezra? Personally?

I keep thinking about him as I am making my way through the streets to the dance academy.

"There you are!why didn't you come to today's morning session adley?"

Eric (my dance partner) says as I enter the hall.

"Was busy with something!" I say Placing my water bottle and towel on the ground.

"Ok!but you know we are running out of time right? The farewell is gonna be next week"he says complaining

"Yeahhh!sorry!I'll take care about that!"I say raising my hands up , surrendering.

He just laughs shaking his head and gives me a hug,

"I thought you got ill or something coz you usually don't miss Practice"

I hear the hall door open as someone enters inside.

"Nope!I'm absolutely fine!"I says smiling as I break the hug.

"Good!!alright lets start then!"eric says patting my shoulders

I see that samuel entered the hall,he is sitting on the ground on his phone, with a smug face.

He is here again like everyday,he just warms up a bit for a while and then just sits somewhere seeing us all practice.

He waves at me catching my stare.i nod at him.

I make myself towards him, sitting in front of him as he glances at me removing his eyes from his phone screen.and raises a eyebrow.

"You are not performing for the farewell function are you?"I ask

"No!"

"Then,why are you here?"I ask folding my arms

"I come here to see y'all practice!"he just shrugs getting his eyes back on his phone.

"And...?" I ask snatching his phone away from him

He looks displeased,and stares at me but doens't comment

.."and wt? Learn a thing or two from y'all.i get bored at home any way..so thats it!"

"You are so good at dance!why don't you perform too?"

"I Jus .."

"Adleyy!¡I'm starting!!"Eric shouts

Samuel scoffs "go! don't make him wait! Looks like he is already missing you"

He says taking his phone back from my hand..

I get! Up!and get to my practice.

.................

The practice was over,it went well apart from the part where samuel was staring at me all the time during the practice.he has been acting strange these days.

I walk out of the dance academy towards my apartment.

Halfway through my destination I find a familiar guy coming out of a big mansion.i stare at the mansion with mouth wide open and then at the guy.

He looks at me tries to run away.

"Ethan!!?"

He halts in his way and slowly turns around.

"Oh adley? Didn't see you...? Hehe!" He says nervously

I narrow my eyes and just let it slide.

"What were you doing at that big mansion you sneaky thing?"I ask walking by his side.

"Oh umm.... you mean my house huh!as My parents aren't usually home so I live at my aunts"

"Oh!!that ! is your house??" I ask looking back at the house again

It looks modern, About 3 storyed tall,glass covered windows....the house looks flashy among the tall buildings...the place kinda feels familiar..

"Basically my parents house!"

"Oh.....what were you doing here at this hour?"

"My parents were home today so I went there for dinner"

I smile as I ask"nice! How did it go?"

"Just casual!them asking about my studies and health and me nodding and answering"he shrugs

I nod as the cold night breeze is hitting my skin, flying my hair.

"You? Went for practice I guess?" He asks looking at me

"Yeah!"

We stop in front of his house (aunts) ,as i leave out a small goodbye

"Ow wait! Just a minute!" He says as he runs off into the house and returns with something in his hand.

"Your muffler! I forgot to return it! Thank you"he says

"Thats ok"I smile as I forward my hand to take it.

He looks at me straight with a smirk, I look up at him confused

He leans forward towards me making my eyes go big..,'what is he doing' .....no wait I'm gonna say it

"What are you doing" I ask slowly

His face is too near...I close my eyes as his warmth surrounds me

...and I feel the muffler fixed around me.i open my eyes to see him smiling wickedly.

"Were you expecting something else?.."

My mouth hangs open...

"Oh-" I stutter with a tomato face

"Did I dissapoint you adley?" He asks again teasingly pinching my nose

"Idiot!" I push his chest making him chuckle and get away from there all flustered.

"Good night!" He shouts still laughing.

"The more I get close to him the more I get Scared of loosing him!! And just that thought is tearing me apart"

I just don't want to loose you even if I don't have you.... to loose.
