Ethan chuckled at Ade having to get up to give him a little peck accompanied by the big smile he so loved to see on her face. It was so cute and innocent, it just portrayed the kind of woman she was perfectly. As she stood, E put a single arm around her waist to keep her standing, then he winked at the dog, "sorry Beth, I knew her first." He liked to talk to the dog - he also liked to tell it that Ade was first and foremost his, just because he was certain the dog thought otherwise. He loved it though, Addie's dog. She was always so happy, bouncing around with that goofy look on her face, wanting nothing but for people to scratch her behind the ear.

"One, yes, yes you are the world's best friend. And two, I am not fat, thank you very much." Ade said, and it made Ethan laugh at her. Especially because it was so typically Ade to misunderstand him. He hadn't said she was fat already, but rather that chocolate would make her so. Not that it really would, with all the dancing the woman did. But he supposed it didn't much matter. He wouldn't bother correcting her, mostly because he knew she could take it... from him, anyway. From anyone else, he knew Ade could take absolutely nothing, even if people were just kidding around, she always had this... part of her, that told her they were right, and so she'd obsess. Ethan could calm her down most times, but in some cases it was just too severe, and there was nothing he could say or do to make her feel good about herself again. He hated when that happened, because he hated seeing Ade kill herself over some stupid thing some idiot said.

Still chuckling slightly, Ethan gave Ade a squeeze before merely smiling at her. "How about you get dressed, and then we go have some lunch? I'm starving." He said, before raising an eyebrow at her, "and don't you dare say no, Ade. I already made reservations." He knew their relationship was a bit odd if you asked most people, because he mostly treated Ade as if she was his girlfriend. Took her out on 'dates', bought her random gift... sometimes chocolate or cd's, but at other times it was flowers or jewelry. He had no clue how it'd started, but it had. Ade was the girlfriend he'd never have, without all the messy relationship-stuff, and he got sex elsewhere. Where E was concerned, it was as perfect as things got, while still remaining realistic.
