You don't know you're beautiful

Ch. 11 ||Rain||

Ashlee's POV:

I woke up around 7 to find Ethan curled up right beside me.

I sat there for a minute & thanked God for him. He was the only one that believed that I was beautiful & perfect in his eyes.

I was thinking of us when his phone went off...

I grabbed his phone out of his pocket & saw dozens of notifications from different social media.

I was scrolling through his feed & saw the wicked bitch of the west had texted him.

Hey... so, I know how much you really like me & what I was wearing so... what do ya think?!  I then saw her in a tight, short, slutty dress with half her boobs hanging out. I had to admit, she was gorgeous (not in a perv kind of way...) how could I compete with her?!

"Is that why she threatened me to stay away from Ethan?" I asked myself.

My mind was cloudy- more cloudy than usual. 

"Was Ethan really cheating on me?"  

I raced to find an answer- buzz...buzz...buzz- it was my phone.

I unlocked my phone to see that I got a text message, I figured it would be Grayson or Juliet but.. it was the bitch herself.

hey! hope you are doing good! I just wanted to say that I saw Ethan drive in your driveway & get out of his car... STAY AWAY from him! I cannot control his actions, but I am warning you right now.. break up with him! XOXO~ Brittany.

"I could not believe her! What the crap is going on here?! Was she apparently dating him secretly?" I asked myself.

Ethan soon woke up, I leaned over for his tiny kiss on my forehead.

I watched him look at his phone while he replied to each notification. 

Ethan opened his messages & I saw him respond to Brittany.

He looked confused as I was, he answered with all caps & tons of angry emojis.

I relaxed myself as I said... "I am going to go take a quick shower & get ready for our date."

"Okay! I will be either down here or in the kitchen getting breakfast- come get me when you are ready to go." He replied with looking up from his phone.

I got up from the coach & went upstairs.

Ethan's POV:

I was shocked to see that Brittany had texted me.

"What was her deal anyway?" I asked myself.

We dated last year- she was really pretty, she was a cheerleader, everyone likes cheerleaders right?!

I proved my theory wrong when she broke up with me for my brother Grayson...

Brittany broke up with me because I was not strong & sexy enough for her, & she thought Grayson was...

Grayson & Brittany were together for a while until.. she did the same thing to him.

We were off the market for quite a while until Gray met Juliet over the summer & immediately became a couple.

Maybe she was trying to get back with me... I could NOT let that happen because I had just met & became a couple with Ashlee now!

I ignored the text & picture as I went upstairs to eat breakfast.

As I was eating yogurt with chocolate chips, granola, fruit & a side of almond milk, I saw Ashlee come down the stairs.

She was STUNNING {as usual} she was wearing skinny jeans, combat boots, black tank top, plaid button down shirt with light jewelry. 

"You hungry?" I asked.

"No." She replied.

I hurried up eating my yogurt & almond milk as fast as a teenage boy can.

"You ready to go then?" 

"Yep!" She then grabbed her coat & handed mine to me.

Ashlee's POV:

Ethan helped me with my coat as we walked over to a window.

It was raining-hard rain.

"Well.. shoot!" Ethan said.

"Dang... why does it have to rain on our date?!" I proclaimed.

"I am going to go watch the weather channel to see if it is ever going to clear." As he walked off.

I just stood there watching the rain fall from the window.

"Maybe the weather likes to coordinate with my feelings because.. it is sure doing a pretty goddamn job." I whispered to myself.
