I'm Not The Girl You Used To Know

Chapter 13: Dating?

I was home pretty early than usual. What happened at Mike's dorm was all new to me. I've never felt the sensation. It made me wondered how sex was like. I wished I was ready for him and not the other way around.

At first Hailey made fun of me too when she knew I was a virgin. But slowly, she respected my decision. I might be a bitch sometimes but I'm not a slut.

I went to the kitchen and found Ethan sitting there with his computer. I ignored him and grabbed an orange juice from the fridge and poured myself a glass.

I could hear him cursed between his breath and I realized that he was trying to turned on his laptop but the screen was blank.

"Shit", he cursed then he looked at me.

"Sorry. I'm working on something and it ran out of battery. I plugged on the charger but it won't turn on", he explained.

I took a seat beside him and examined the laptop, but everything was fine. Then I looked at the power cord and found the damage.

"Do you have a wire cutter and electrical tapes?" I asked him.

He looked at me confused. "Yeah. But what for? "

"Just give it to me", I said impatient.

He opened one of the kitchen drawer and grabbed the items I asked. He gave them to me and I started to work.

Around 10 minutes, I was done. I plugged the power cord again and press the power button and it was on.
"Wow, how did you do that?", Ethan asked, impressed.

"It was the wires. They are damaged. That's why they can't supply powers to the cord. Most people got that problem", I said. "Usually it's because you always yank the cable after you charged it, right?"

He flushed. "Uh,yeah sometimes"

"Thought so", I mumbled and got up.

"Linda", he called before I went out of the room.

I turned my body. "Yeah?", I asked.

"Thanks. You're a life saver", he smiled.

"Sure", I said flatly then turned on my heels.

(Ethan POV)

When she asked for the items to repair my cables, I was amazed. I didn't know she know how to repair such things. She working on the cables was the biggest turn on to me.

I wished I was the cables. Wait, since when I had such pervy thoughts? I shook my head then turned my attention to her.

She finished her work and left the room. I continued writing my email to Mr.Smith.

I was done doing my design and I wanted to show him tomorrow. We were talking when my laptop suddenly off because it ran out of battery.

We were talking for almost 30 minutes and he agreed to meet me tomorrow.

When I closed my laptop, Brian walked in the kitchen with Kira holding two boxes of pizzas.

"Hey, Ethan" she greeted me.

"Kira, what are you doing here?", I asked. It was unusual for her to come on weekdays.

"Oh, we finished early and I really want to hang out with you guys", she said as she grabbed a beer from the fridge like it was her own home.

"Alright. I'm gonna take a shower then I'll get Linda", Brian said before he left the room.

Not a while, Linda came. Her face was flat like usual. "Hi, Kira", she greeted her with tight smile.
