The CEO's Proposal || ongoing

chapter two || 02

The lesson was taking forever to end. Who knew psychology at uni would be this terrible? Obviously I didn't, I actually enjoyed it in high school but it's just so fucking hard.

I felt a subtle nudge to my shoulder on my right.

"You wanna go to my house after?" Ethan whispered, trying not to get the professor's attention.

Ethan has been my boyfriend for almost a whole year and I think we're doing great so far.

He stares at me and I look into his deep ocean blue eyes, he has blonder hair like me. Except, much lighter and very messy. He doesn't exactly have abs since his build is lore towards a lean, toned stomach. He also has a height of exactly 5'11 but if you ask him, he would tell you 6'0 without hesitation most likely just to make him feel better about himself.

He's a very affectionate guy, and I adore him for that. But the time we've been together we've never properly 'hooked up'. I've never gone past the touching stage with him because he always ends up stopping and changing the subject or putting on a movie but I mean, it's definitely okay if he's not ready but I feel like he's been wanting to do it with me but he just doesn't know how. I know for a fact I'm ready but I'll be patient with him whenever he feels like he want to take another step. Or not?

I switch away from my thoughts and look at him then nod my head. "Yeah, definitely. I don't know how much longer I can stand this woman."

Everyone went silent. My professor stared directly at me with the most hateful look I've ever seen.

Oh shit.

I just said that out loud didn't I?

Ethan next to me tries not to laugh by putting his fist in front of his mouth, definitely snickering. Everyone else just looks like if they were in my position they would die from embarrassment.

I'm only saying that because that's exactly how u feel right now.

"Miss Brown, would you care to explain why the hell you're interrupting my lesson?"

"Uhh, I was just-"

"Please remain silent while I'm speaking. Anyway as I was saying, the brain consists of-" Ms Jane carried on her lecture and I rolled my eyes then spaced out like always.

******************

The lesson finally came to an end and I was picked up by Ethan because we were going to his house for a while before he would drop me back to mine.

I toss my bag into the backseat of the car and hop in the front putting my seatbelt on as soon as I see him open his side and come in too and he starts driving.

Ethan is an extremely compassionate, and a very emotional person. I feel like his sister's just been rubbing off on him, even though she's only 3, she acts like his mother. It's adorable.

Ethan looks over to me slightly while keeping his hands on the steering wheel. "So, do you have any plans this Saturday?" He takes one hand off and hands me a toffee.

Did I mention I love caramel? It's literally my life. Probably why I always get caramel lattes.

I grab the toffee from his hand and unwrap it then place it in my mouth. "No I think I'm free. Why?" I ask.

"I was thinking we could have a movie night, we haven't had one in ages." He says.

He isn't even lying. The last time we had one was a few months back when we were sort of new to dating. I don't know why I've never brought it up to be fair.

My eyes light up with excitement. "That would actually be great, I really need a fucking break."

He chuckled. "Yeah, Jane gave you a hard time huh baby?" He pouts.

I scoff at his words. "Shut up. I can't believe she didn't catch you. Maybe she just has a crush on you or something."

He laughs loudly then shakes his head. "You're crazy."

"I know I am." I smile at him and start humming to the faint music playing on the radio in the background.

******************

We finally arrive at his house and I open the car door.

We walk up to the front door and he unlocks it and lets me in first. Fucking finally. I can take these shoes off.

I walk into the living and literally collapse onto the couch laying on my back and closing my eyes.

Long day.

I really wanna get this year over with already.

I open my eyes when I hear squealing coming from upstairs. I realise it's the famous Cassie running everywhere. That girl has so much energy.

She runs downstairs carefully and jumps towards me.

What is it with people attacking me today?

"NAI-NAI! YOU'RE HERE!!" She practically screams in my ear. I think my ear drums just burst.

I laugh at her energetic mood. "Yes Cass. I'm here in the flesh. I heard you got a new dollhouse."

She smiles at that. "Yup! I gonna go back now, me and mummy are playing with dolls."

"Okay, have fun Cass. Say hi to your mum for me!" I say and wave to her and she jumps down from my lap and runs back upstairs.

Ethan comes into the living room holding two cups of coffee and he places them on the coffee table then sits on the same couch I'm on. He gets me to slightly lift my head so he can rest it on his lap and turns the tv on.

He picks a few strands of my hair and loops it around his fingers, fidgeting most likely. "Hey, remember when you said you wanted to get another job?"

I look up at him and give a confused look. "Yeah?"

He looks at the tv and waits a while before speaking again. "I'm not sure if you would want it, but my friend's older cousin works in this business company and he mentioned that their boss needed a new PA, because he fired his old one for getting the wrong cup of coffee. The job is open for applications if you want to apply."

My eyes widen.

He seriously fired his assistant for that? What a douche.

Hang on, a personal assistant? I could get a lot more money for my mum so I could help pay rent.

I sit up a bit and look at him again. "Wait seriously? Where do I go to apply?"

"It's only a half hour drive from where we are now. I can text you details." He leans down to grab the coffees but just before he does, I hug him tightly and bury my head in his shoulder.

"Thank you so much. I love you." I mutter into his shoulder then peck his soft lips.

He looks down at me and chuckles. "Love you too Nai."
