Two➳E.D & G.D

Ten

His warm lips collide with my cold ones and make the perfect temperature. People call that chemistry.
The little giggles that came from the pool are now silent, everyone shocked by our make out session.

I have to admit I did kiss him back, given the fact that the whole scene could pretty well be the perfect part in a perfect love movie. Me, the damsel in distress, freezing and him the hot and brave boy who... Throws me in the pool. Everything very comic. Anyway after that it's like Tom and Jerry and all and bam! He kisses me. I had to kiss him back. I know I would've regretted it the same night in my lonely bed.

What seems like seconds later Aaron and Jack appear, followed by Grayson in the verge of crying. I gently push Ethan off me and get up.
Grayson runs away in the house and I follow him, ignoring Jack and Aaron's stupid jokes or Ethan calling my name.

Once up the stairs I see his door slam at the end of the long corridor and him letting out a sad cry. I run to the end of the corridor and open his door.

"Grayson please, it was a mistake" I beg whilst I walk towards him.
"It's fine Amanda, you're free to do whatever you want. It's my fault, I've got my hopes to high. I should've understood the moment you accepted to go at our house after lunch" he says small tears falling down his brown eyes.

"Gray you're hopes are just at the perfect level. I think our feelings for each other are at the same level. I accepted the invite because it was our first date so I didn't want it to be too serious" I tell him softly sitting next to him on the big bed.

"I think that Ethan's feelings for you are at our same level. I think that your feelings for the both of us are at the same level. I get it it's difficult, we're twins" he says getting a little bit of distance between us.

"That's what I thought a few days ago. But Gray the conversations I have with you are unique, no one else talks to me like you do. When you hold me, or even when you just stroll my body with the tip of your finger, my stomach lights up like New York. I'm not going to deny that, I've felt things kissing Ethan but not as much as just you touching me or staring at me." I say with a desperate tone, knowing that I'm telling him the truth but he won't believe it.

"Just you sitting next to me right now makes me feel alive Mandy, I wish I could kiss those lips like my brother had the chance too" he whispers getting closer to me.
"You can" I say getting closer to him.

"No" he says parting from me "It would be wrong, I want you to think about it. Think about yours and Ethan's kiss. Maybe you're saying all this out of pity." He says with regret in his voice.

"But-" I start but he cuts me off with a small kiss on the cheek. Like we normally do, friend zone back at it again.

"We're going in circles" I whisper getting up from the bed and walking out of the room, shutting the door loudly.

I run down the stairs and into the garden where Ethan is sitting with a sad face, on the grass, just where I left him. I quietly sit next to him and start playing with the grass.

"Sorry for the kiss" he whispers.
"It's okay" I whisper back.

"I think we should just be friends, I felt something but I know you haven't. I want you and Gray to work out. I really do, maybe one day. Just remember that when it's over between the two of you I'll be here" he says and within a second he disappears.

I've lost two people in one hour. The most important people I have.

I get up and gather my belongings that are all over the grass and the pools surroundings. I put my jeans back and my teeshirt too. I take Grayson's shirt and put it in my purse. On a piece of paper I find in my purse I write a note that I leave on the arm chair:

I've got your shirt, I'll wash it along with Cameron's swimming suit. At least ill have an excuse to see you again.
M.

Without another word I creep out of the silent house and dial my ubers number.

"Hey it's Mandy can you come pick me up at the Dolans house?" I ask once he's picked up.
"Coming!" He says happily and hangs up.

I sit quietly on the grass in the front yard and quietly put my shoes back on.

What am I going to do now? I've lost the two people I love the most, all I have left is Kian and Andrea. The temptation to call them is big inside of me, but I know that their probably conceiving babies at this time of the day on St.Valentines day. I better leave them alone.

Whatever I'll have more time to redecorate my room and study. Yay.

The truth is I've thought about me and Ethan, even he has, we both think friends is better for the moment. Grayson's probably never coming back. A few salty tears run down my cheeks but I wipe them away immediately.

The front door opens widely and Grayson comes out quickly with a big smile. I look at him and he's still in his bathing suit, his abs are still showing and he has my note in his left hand. When he sees me he sighs in relief.

"Thanks god you're still here" he says holding his hand out for me to help me get up.
"I am" I whisper getting up and standing next to him.

"Cancel you're ride home, please?" He says with a sweet look. I hesitate at first but immediately send my uber a text.
"Here we go" I say sending it. He nods and grabs my hand, dragging me inside the house and up the long stairs. I let myself be dragged silently and watch our hands hold in disbelief.

He opens the door to his room and shuts it immediately. He lets go of me and we stand silently, inches away, staring at each other.

"Ethan told me" he whispers getting closer to me.
"Grayson believe me, my feelings are true" I whisper getting closer once again.

A tremendous tsunami is created in my stomach, filled with a storm of butterflies and a whole zoo, running inside of me, once, his lips touch mine.
