It's now or never | Ethan Nestor x reader

Part 6

Apartments. Houses. Flats. Studio apartment. Broom cupboard. I needed to find a place to stay. With Christmas almost here and the one week before I'm able to work again... Maybe. I needed a new home. So I wasn't in the way of Mark and Amy all the time. But all the places I'd found were, either way, overpriced or literally a broom cupboard sized apartment which I could not live in. Mark literally had been looking also seeing the stress I was in but because of the time of year, fewer places were available.

"Don't stress too much on finding an apartment. Your cousin is fine with you staying?" My therapist asked through the screen and I sighed nodding.

"Yes and they seem fine for me staying longer than a month but I feel like a burden." She smiled at me softly.

"No one thinks you're a burden (y/n) you've been through a traumatic advent and can't find a new house in such a short time. It's normal to spend a few months searching for an apartment and I'm sure you're cousin and boyfriend realise that." I nodded fiddling with the cushion beside me on the bed. She stopped for a moment before continuing. " now I was wondering if we could set up a short meeting with this friend of yours that's been helping you out the past two weeks." Ethan said he'd be up for a meeting when I got an email mentioning it.

"I'll see if he's free now. Give me a moment." Standing up and shuffling down the hallway I texted Ethan who came around the corner seconds later.

"Everything ok? I just finished eating bugs." Giggling as he clenched his jaw before drinking a few mouthfuls of water.

"My Therapist wants to have a quick chat. Is that alright?" He nodded threading a hand through his hair.

"Yeah totally. In your room." We came back to my bedroom and sat next to each other on the bed.

"So this must be Ethan. The man trying to take my job." I chuckled along with Ethan who leant in a little closer to fully be in frame.

"Hello. I heard you wanted a quick talk." She nodded turning the page of her notes book.

"Yes, I heard you do YouTube is that correct?" I felt Ethan stiffen beside me and she laughed. "Don't worry I think it's good for (y/n) to be around people in different types of work. To help her mind go off getting a new apartment and such." Ethan calmed down once more and shifted his hand making it touch mine. Blushing we moved back at the same time. "(Y/n) mentioned it was your idea to do a review of your days before bed. If it's fine with you I'd like if you keep that up even after these therapy sessions are over."

"Of course. Anything to help (y/n)." My breath hitched for as he said that and with a few more questions Ethan had to leave for another video.

"Is there something going on there?" She suddenly asked making my eyes go wide.

"Between Ethan and I. N-no I don't think so." She laughed shaking her head.

"Whatever you say. So we have one last mandatory session but if after a month or so we can have a quick catch up." We said our goodbyes. After packing away my computer I came out for lunch seeing Mark putting packets of I assume bugs in the bin.

"Oh god, I'm never eating bugs again." He grumbled to himself then seeing me. "Hey what were you and Ethan doing?" Mark nudged my shoulder making my eyes roll as I walked past him to the fridge.

"Therapy session is all." His eyes stopped at me and squinted.

"I don't trust you." Amy came walking in arms cross and Mark stopped.

"Mark let her be." When Mark turned Amy winked at me. I think she thought something was up also. Which would mean a conversation later.

....

Amy came into my room after dinner later that night and shut the door behind her. Looking up for the book I was reading she sat down opposite to me on the bed.

"So I'm just gonna say it and you need to be 100% honest cousin to cousin with me." Bookmarking and putting the book to my side I raised an eyebrow.

" ok, I'm not hiding any dead bodies for you though." She laughed rolling her eyes at me. This is probably about Ethan.

"No what? What's going on with Ethan and you? Have you guys kissed, had sex or something?" I gasped throwing a pillow at Amy and she laughed.

"What no, where did this come from?!" Amy took hold of the pillow grinning at me.

"Just answer the question please."

"No Amy nothing has happened." It was like talking with my mother in high school. Amy stood sighing.

"Ok do you want something to happen?" She sang out tossing the pillow back at me, frowning I hugged the pillow for comfort.

"What's with the interrogation Amy?" A gasp from her followed.

"You do like him. I 100% support this and won't tell Mark."

"Amy..." she left the room leaving me a blushing mess. The silence in my room suddenly was filled with my ringtone for Ethan. Jumping out of my skin I answered on speaker.

"(y/n)."

"Ethan," I replied making both of us laugh.

"Time for the day review and go!" giggling at Ethan I could tell he was smiling as I started talking about my day.

"And that's about it what did you do when getting home?"

"I did the dishes, and some editing. I was going to paint my nails but ran out of time." Smiling to myself and biting my lip I thought for a moment.

"Ooh, I could paint your nails tomorrow after you've filmed."

"That'd be great and spencers nails too." Letting out a laugh the call ended shortly after.
