Chapter 33 I Can't Ride a Bike

I pinched Bella's waist, and she laughed, dodging to the side.

My eyes locked on Ethan. He was in a white tracksuit, one foot on a mountain bike, looking effortlessly cool. He tilted his head and smiled at me. That smile was almost unfairly good-looking.

Later, I found out the activity Bella mentioned was cycling. Embarrassed, I whispered, "I can't ride a bike."

Oliver laughed, "No worries, Ethan can give you a ride. He even added a back seat today. But it's better if you sit in the front; he can ride and..."

"Shut up," Ethan laughed, cutting him off.

Oliver's bike also had a back seat, and he offered Bella a ride. But Bella wanted to rent her own bike. Unfortunately, all the bikes were rented out because of the nice weather. "Ride with me; it's fate!" Oliver said smugly. Bella had no choice but to ride with him.

I sat behind Ethan, gripping the rack under my seat, tense to keep my balance.

"Are you seated properly?" Ethan asked.

I nodded, then quickly said, "Yes," realizing he couldn't see me.

Before I finished speaking, the bike lurched forward, and I instinctively wrapped my arms around his waist. I thought I heard Ethan laugh.

The thin summer fabric let me feel his abs moving. My face stayed hot, but I didn't dare let go.

At first, Ethan rode easily, but as we left the city and started climbing hills, he slowed down.

Feeling uneasy, I wished I could turn into a butterfly. "Am I too heavy? Should I get off and walk?"

"It's fine. Carrying you is no challenge," Ethan reassured me.

"Hurry up, you're as slow as a snail. Look, Ethan is way better than you," Bella's voice called out. I turned to see Oliver struggling far behind.

Oliver retorted, "I'm slow because I'm carrying you. If you think you can do better, go ahead!"
