Are you the one?

Chapter four

Let's see what happens when Ethan comes face to face with Cecily Young.

Michael's P.O.V

Opening the door I prepare myself for the platter of disappointment my mom is about to feed me. At least I'm not Ethan, he's practically pissing his pants right now. First person to greet me is Ava "I'd run if I were you" she whispers

"Where is she?" I look around

"In your room doing god knows what" Ethan stands behind me and Ava looks at him "who are you?" she asks

I answer "this is Ethan"

"you look familiar Ethan" she squints her eyes at him trying to figure it out

"Yeah he's the guy that spilled the wine on Cecily's dress-"

"Accidentally" Ethan adds

Ava gasps then laughs "dude this is probably the last place you should be right now"

"Stop trying to scare him" I turn to Ethan "you'll be fine. This is my assistant Ava by the way"

"Hello" Ethan greets her

"It was nice meeting you kid." It gets quiet as we hear my mom's footsteps approaching

"Ava who are you talking to?" she walks out and spots me "Michael where the hell have you been" she comes towards me "we've been calling you all morning"

"I was with him" I push Ethan in front of me

"Who is this?" my mom turns to me as Ethan stands in front of her practically shaking

"I- I'm Ethan King Ma'am" he stutters "I was the photographer at the party last night-"

"Who ruined my 27 thousand dollar dress" she cuts him off "how dare you show your face here and what were you doing with my son?"

"Ethan helped me last night, I was passed out in the bathroom and he got me out before I could ruin your precious party. But I guess there was nothing to save me from since he ruined your party all on his own" I laugh causing Ethan to get more anxious

"I didn't mean to ruin your dress or the party I swear, I was just nervous and stumbled a bit and next thing I knew the drinks were flying. I'm so sorry Mrs. Young" he rambles like a child to my mother as Ava and I stand on the side enjoying the show

"Do you know who I am? I can put you in a world of hurt"

"I know" Ethan drops his head in shame "I'd deserve it"

"Not only did you ruin a dress that probably costs more than you, you ruined a very important event" my mom starts to get intimidating which I know is probably scaring Ethan so I step in

"Mom clearly Ethan is sorry look at him" I point to Ethan's frowning face "and plus he helped me, I didn't get into any trouble last night that has to count for something"

"Michael I will deal with you later" she scolds at me "but you're right. Ethan King is it? I don't ever want to see you around my family again understood?!"

"Yes ma'am"

"Mom that's kind of harsh"

"No it's ok" Ethan jumps in "I'll go. I'm so sorry again for everything Mrs. Young, and it was nice meeting all of you" he turns and walks to the door to and I follow him

"At least your head is still attached to your body" I joke as we walk outside

But he doesn't laugh "your mom made herself clear, so it was nice meeting you Michael" I can't tell if he really means that
