My Step Brother's Obsession - Carly #2

Ethan Hollingway - I Have A Proposition

Jonathan

Kyler and I were chatting with Caspian and not sure of what was taking Carly so long. She'd only gone to the bathroom for Christ's sake.

"She'll be back, J, you know, women and powdering their noses it gives them a good chance to gossip in the ladies."

I look around and spot Star with a crease on her forehead speaking to some girls who I don't even fucking know. Only one sticks out her sister. If they're out here, then what the hell is it taking Carly so fucking long?

"I don't think I should mention this to the both of you, but I saw Ethan heading towards the bathroom not long after Carly."

"Why the hell didn't you mention that earlier?"

"I wasn't suspicious of him going to the John guys. It's just that he's been taking an awful long time since he's going back in less than an hour."

"Maybe he went to take a crap?"

Cas shook his head. "He's very particular about where he sits."

I snorted. "And he's in the fuckin army?"

"He knows he has no choice out there where there aren't any proper facilities. Although he hates it, he's always been the same."

"Come on, let's see what bullshit he's copping up to tell our girl."

"You don't think he'll tell her anything, do you?" Ky asks nervously.

"Anything is possible with Ethan fucking Hollingway." Especially when he'd walked in on us not once but twice he said he would keep our little adventure to himself, but now I am not quite so sure. If he wants Carly, he'll do anything to jeopardize whatever we had built.

We turned the corner and saw him talking to Carly. I'm not sure what they are talking about but the way he is smiling at our Carly Bear is downright pissing me off.

There's only one way to put a stop to this. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her and kissed her hair. Damn, she smells so sweet and intoxicating.

I look over her head, as she's at least a foot smaller than I am. And glared at Ethan. He looks a little perplexed and about to blow up. Good that little fucker isn't going anywhere near my angel, our angel. Kyler slides next to Carly Bear, kissing her cheek. Making Ethan go even redder than he already was. I want to chuckle at how angry he is about this situation. Everyone in the goddamn dining hall knows we're all together, and they've all turned a blind eye because they know if the shit hits the fan today neither Cas nor Star will be too pleased.

"We were wondering where you got to angel."

"I bumped into Ethan on the way back."

I bet you did. More like he was waiting for an opportunity to pounce on you without us around, but guess what, we're only two steps behind.

"We were just catching up, we haven't spoken in over six years."

"I see." I glared at Ethan Kyler, giving him the evils. "Well, now you've all caught up you can go, can't you? Your lift is waiting, right?"

She looked at him a little shocked. I guess she thought he was sticking around for a while, so I guess their convo hadn't got to the part where he was leaving again.

He cleared his throat. "I was getting to that."

Bet you were.

He stared at Carly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed. "I'm only here for the wedding. I'll miss their first dance. I'm sorry, Carly, I have to go back, but this time it won't be for long. This is my final deployment. I'm coming home."
