"Ahhh!" I plop down on my bed.
The car drive all the way back home was exhausting.

Really, really, really exhausting.

When it came down to Ethan and me. We couldn't keep our hands to our selves.

We had sex, as if it was our last day.

And now I'm feeling so sore, and not to mention, hungry too.

"Ugh." I was so lazy to go in the kitchen to cook something up.

A ring on the door pulled me out of bed.

"I brought dinner," I heard Engine on the other side.

I opened the door in a flash, and grabbed the food from her hand.

"Have you gone wild or something?!" Engine screamed.

"Considering that we had sex four times in the car, yes. I have gone wild." I gobbled up an entire spoon of steaming hot noodles.

I looked over at Engine, her eyes were wide in horror.

I coughed up the noodles, realising what I just said in a hurry.

"Your V card flipped!" She danced.

She plopped down on the sofa beside me, "Spill all the beans."

After going over everything, I added.
"Engine, listen to me okay." She nodded.

"I didn't go for a vacation with Mom."
I looked down at the bowl of noodles, "I don't want to go over the details, but I went there to find her. With Ethan."

She sighed and muttered something to herself, "Did you find her?" She asked.

"No."

"Hmm," she hummed, "I guessed."

After minutes of silence between us she spoke.

"You didn't tell," I looked over at her, "You guys passed?"

"Yes. We both passed with flying colours." I smiled, "What about Aiden?"

"He passed too," She said.

"How are things between you both?"

She shrugged, "Just the same. Maybe a bit awkward."

"Hmm."

"Anyways," I changed the topic before things got too heavy. "Tell me about everything I missed."

She smiled.

×××

I got up the next morning, and checked my phone.

Ethan- Good morning foxy.

Me- Good morning Eddie.

Ethan- Do not call me that.

I saved his number as Eddie.

Me- Why not? You call me foxy. So, I'll call you Eddie.

Where did you even get that nickname from?

Eddie- The first time I kissed you, you smelt like Autumn. The red fox has a colour representing Autumn.

I laughed at his logic.

Me- I won't deny it, you suck at names.

Eddie- But you still love me.

Me- Yes I do, Eddie.

Eddie- Turn around.

I turn around confused, and something soft touches the side of my cheeks.

"Boo!" A voice said, making me flinch.

"Ethan!" I hit him with a pillow. "How did you get in?!"

"The door." He smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

"But I locked the door." I said, "After Engine left."

"I think the locks broken."

We went to the front door, I locked the door and tried to open it.

"The lock doesn't seem broken." I shrugged.

"Let me try," Ethan tried to open the door, but instead the nob came out. "Well, I guess now we do need to replace it."

"The safer, the better," He looked at the door nob that he broke, and I laughed.

"So," he put his hands in the back pockets after fixing in the nob, making it look less broken, "Whatcha doing?"

"Brushing, breakfast, laundry."

"By the way, you're done with cleaning out the travel bag so fast?" There was no way that he did it on his own.

"Lee helped."

I laughed knowingly. It's called- younger sibling taken advantage of.

"Have you prepared breakfast?" He asked curiously, and I said no.
"I'll prepare." He went happily into the kitchen.

After freshening up, I entered the kitchen.

"Hmm." I sniffed, "Egg sandwich?"

He put some in my plate and one for himself.

"Mum's asking you to come for dinner today."

I nodded in agreement. Not that I had any problems with it.

"I wanted to ask... should I tell her about... you know," he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Us?" I completed for him and he nodded nervously.

"Yes. But, I'd like to be the one to tell her."

"Sure," He grinned.

×××

There is that time when you fell in public. There is that time when you spit water on someone because of a bad joke. There is that time when your day was going just fine until a bird decided to donate some greesy material to you.

But there is also that time, when your boyfriend insists to do your laundry, and you gladly give it to him. Until you realize that you had your undergarments stored in the bag too.

I dropped down the travel bag and rushed to the washing machine.

"Ethannn!" I shouted.

I caught a hold on the side of the door and slipped into the small room where the machine along with other stored materials were.

I find Ethan grinning at the lingerie I had bought from Victoria's Secret.

"You jerk!" I hit him on his side.

He turned around, surprised at my sudden outburst.

"Wha!?" He dodged the upcoming hits.

"Stop! I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

I didn't stop smacking him.

"Don't blame me now." He tickled my stomach, making me laugh and flinch.

"Don't you dare!" I warned him.

"Oh yes!" His eyes twinkled mischiveously. "Hehe." He laughed evilly.

I ran for my life.

"Come back." He shouted, chasing me.

"Catch me if you can," I teased.

I ran to the end of the hall, getting stuck as he entered the room.

"You're done for."

I ran behind the sofa and he guarded the front. We both stayed focused on each others movements.

A few minutes passed, but he didn't move.

I got distracted as a bird came and sat on the window sill.

"Rawww." Ethan jumped on top of the sofa, and caught me off guard.

He tickled me mercilessly, "That's cheating." I complained.

"You never stated the rules, babe."

After he decided to spare me some of his mercy, we both lay on the floor. Completely out of breath.

The door bell rang, seprating Ethan from the ground.

"It must be the locksmith."

We watched as the locksmith fixed the lock, and also the door knob that Ethan broke.

"Thank you," We both said in sync and closed the door behind us.

"So... not that I want to spoil the fun, but don't you want to file a complaint?"

"Umm... should we go now?" I asked.

"Let's go."

×××

"Remind me again, why did you want to take your car?"

"First, because you drove me every time I had to go somewhere. Second, its not my car, but my Mom's."

"Yea right." He said.

We pulled in the police station and I parked the car carefully. Too afraid to get a fine.

We walked inside, and I approached the first desk I saw.

Honestly, I don't know how this works.

"Excuse me," I caught the attention of the officer, "I want to file a missing person."

"Please fill this form and follow me."

"I'll wait here," Ethan said.

Just before I entered the room, I saw Isabel approaching Ethan, "What are you doing here?"

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"A few weeks before Christmas. On xx/xx/20xx."

"So, you're saying is that, she was taken away by your father? Correct?"

I nodded

"Did you try to fight him?"

"When he told that he would be taking her away, I asked why and for how long. He got on my nerve by saying 'Maybe never.' So I spit on him for how casually he said that. He got angry and slapped me. I wasn't ready for the impact so I stumbled, and hit my head behind on the wall and lost consciousness."

"What about the next day? Why didn't you report it before hand."

I fidgeted with my fingers.

"The man used to threaten me with the ones I loved. He had a gun with him, I'd seen it myself a few times... I didn't confide in anyone other than Ethan."

"Ethan? Is he here?"

I nodded, "He's waiting outside."

"Okay. We'll call him and ask a few questions. Then we'd like to check your house, is that okay with you?"

I nodded.

"Here, drink some water." The officer offered a cup.

The whole day went by just like that.
