Ethan's POV
Rose seems to not know how to deal with everything but she bottles it up and doesn't tell people, I trust her with my secrets. Nathaniel tried to hold back tears too but he looks like he is about to break but I can't push him, the twins barely know what's going on but they'll understand when they are older and more mature. Running away with a girl you just met is just perfect.
We arrive at the lake house and we carry the twins in because it's late and we set them in their room. Nathaniel heads for his room and he falls asleep. Rose sits outside for a while drinking hot tea. "We need to go to the store tomorrow for food." She says in a quiet voice, her voice is shaky but she still is trying to find a way to cope with everything.
We basically ran for our lives so it makes sense. We head inside and I choose a room to stay in and she goes to hers and the night was silent. Rose left early in the morning and got groceries and she made breakfast for everyone Nathaniel slept until noon, so she made him lunch. The twins ate breakfast and I ate lunch with Nathaniel, Rose is a really good cook.
Rose's POV
I barely slept last night but I managed to get up and get groceries and made breakfast, I don't think Nathaniel slept either. Ethan slept in a different room, kinda wish he would have slept with me but I guess it would be awkward. But I prefer to keep my feelings to myself especially if it's about him because if I tell him how I feel that will change everything. We haven't been to the lake house in a while, the last time we went was about a month before summer ended, we swam and went on the boat. We had a lot of fun everyone was smiling and having a good time. Now that we are back it's just pain. " Afternoon Nathaniel, how did you sleep?" I ask in an annoyed voice that means you slept half the day away don't do that again. He looks at me and gives me the okay whatever look, makes me want to smack him on the head.
Ethan walks in with the twins already in their swimsuits. It's hard though it's really hard. I look at ethan and he looks at me. "Ok, let's go down to the dock, Nathaniel, Ethan get your suit on." I say. The Twins follow me to my room and I get in my swimsuit. I grab towels on the way out and Nathaniel and ethan are already down at the dock.
I rush the twins a little bit, we walk down the steps carefully because it's steep, I help the twins with their life jackets and they jump in the water. I look at ethan, he's not very tan but that will change. I giggle to myself. Ethan comes over. "What's so funny?" He asks looking confused. I smile "nothing." I say in a shy voice. Nathaniel is setting up the music and I brought some drinks down so we can chill then we can take the boat. After an hour of swimming, "who wants to go on the boat?" I ask hoping everyone will say yes. "Sure" ethan says at the same time as Nathaniel, the twins rush to the boat and I find the keys to the boat and start it up. We spent until sundown on the boat. Then we headed back to the house.
I gave the twins a bath and then showered, I walked out to ethan in my room, he looked at me and I walked in. "Is something wrong?" I ask trying not to lose my head. "No, Yes, Maybe." he says blushing when I look at him. "I was wondering if you wanted to go get dinner with me." he asks trying to sound confident, but I can see right through him. "What about everyone they haven't eaten, plus I was gonna make dinner." I say not trying to sound rude. "I mean I don't mind going out to eat with you but I need to make food for the twins and Nathaniel." I saw as Nathaniel walks in, "I can make something for the twins." he says in a sluggish way. I look at him, "Fine, but don't screw up Nathaniel. Now get out so I can get ready." They both leave and I put on makeup and curl my hair. I put on a white dress with blue flowers on it. I use my mom's jewelry she has in the bathroom. Ethan is dressed and ready and Nathaniel sits on the counter.
Ethan's POV
I watched rose as she walked down the pier to the dock where our boat was, she looks so beautiful with the sun shining on her skin Nathaniel saw me watching her, but I couldn't help take my eyes off her beauty. While we were on the lake I kept watching Rose as the water ran down her face her beautiful smile that made the day brighter, the way the wind blew her hair, she caught me looking at her once and laughed. I asked Rose to dinner.
She was wearing a white dress with blue flowers on it, with a very pretty necklace. I assume it's her mother. We got in the car and as we were driving we talked about dumb stuff, like embarrassing moments we had. After dinner we headed home, the twins and Nathaniel were asleep. Rose made mint tea and sat outside on the porch sipping it. I sat outside with her and we talked a little more and then I kissed her gently feeling her soft lips on mine. She didn't pull away from my kiss so we kissed for a long time before I pulled her out of the chair and closer to me. She didn't pull away which was nice and after we kissed, she smiled brightly. We slept together. Rose fell asleep in my arms and I fell asleep around midnight.
