You Thought Wrong

Chapter 6

"Are you following me?" We Both say in unison.

"Me?" We both said again. "Stop that!"
Are minds are clearly in sync right now.

"Why on earth would I follow YOU around?" I asked Ethan.

"Who knows? You could be a crazy stalker-fan for all I know."

"Just get it through your head that i don't like you!" I slightly raised my voice emphasizing those last four words.

"Why don't you like me?"

"I don't even know you!"

"But everybody likes me."

"You thought wrong"

He stood there in silence like if something huge just dawned on him. I decided to break the silence.

"What about you, huh?" I asked.

"What about me?"

"How do I know YOU'RE not following ME around?" I asked taking turns pointing my finger between Ethan and I.

"And explain why I would even do such a thing?"

"Because you're so determined to get me to like you." I'm dramatically waving my hands in the air like the  Latina I am.

"Exactly. I'm determined, not a stalker. Anyways, I live here. What's your excuse?"

"I'm visiting my uncle in the apartment below yours."

"Isn't the guy downstairs on vacation?" He said crossing his arms and with a smirk plastered across his face like he's trying to get me to confess that I'm stalking him.

"He's coming back in a week idiot. He trusted us with the apartment."

"And you're leaving when he's returning? That's a little suspicious, don't ya' think?." He says amused, rubbing his chin in between his index finger and thumb.

"Who said we are only staying a week? I'm here for the rest of the summer." I probably shouldn't have said that but I needed to prove my point.

"Oh really?" His smirk turned into a mischievous one. It's actually really attractive.

Wait... Did I really just think that? Snap out of it Nicole!

"Don't get any ideas, Dolan. Whatever it is, forget it."

Our conversation is interrupted by a sweaty Grayson approaching the door.

"Ethan who is-... Oh hey Nicole! What are you doing here?" Grayson asks confused.

"She's visiting her uncle in the apartment below us. She's Staying there for the rest of the summer." Ethan answers for me.

"The apartment below us huh? You know we just moved in a few weeks ago. Ethan why don't you invite her to our house-warming party this weekend?" Grayson suggests.

"Yea, why don't you come?" Ethan supports Grayson's suggestion as he leans up against the door frame.

"Because you're annoying and I rather not make this trip feel more like hell than it has already in the past two days."

"Ouch" the twins say in unison. I really didn't mean to offend Grayson, it was more directed to Ethan.

We are interrupted yet again by my ringtone. I look down at my phone in my hands to see that Kayla is calling.

"What up, lil sis?

"Where are you? I checked your room and you weren't there."

"I'm screaming at our upstairs neighbors to keep it down"

"Oh is that Kayla?!" Ethan asks and steps closer to me. He grabs my phone from my hand and starts speaking in to it.

"Kayla, get your ass up here we need to ask you something!"

I try grabbing the phone out of his hands but he's way to tall for me.

"I'd recognize that voice anywhere! Ethan is that you? You live upstairs!?! Holy crap! On my way!"

I heard Kayla yell through the phone and I'm not even the one thats currently talking to her. Ethan hung up the phone and kindly handed it back to me like if he didn't do what he just did.

"Why? Are you trying to make my life hell? She's gonna be up here any second now and-"

I heard the elevator ding from across the hall and the doors slid open. I'm then greeted by a sprinting Kayla headed straight in our direction.

Damn she got here fast.

She then jumps into Ethan's and Grayson's arms creating a group hug. They all laugh and gently push her off.

"Ew Grayson why are you sweaty?" Kayla asks disgustedly.

"I was working out right now." That's why there was so much noise. Duh.

"So! Kayla, please convince your sister to come to our house warming party this weekend. You're obviously invited too." Grayson told her.

Kayla then shot her eyes towards me. Crap.
She got a hold of my arm and pleaded.

"Common Nicole! It's the Dolan Twins! When are ever gonna get a chance like this ever again!?"

"Hopefully never..." I mumbled.

"Ok, time for my little sister ways to take over and convince you..."

"What does that mean?"

Her nails dug into my arm and she began jumping up and down. Her face became a bright red and she started throwing a full blown tantrum

"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE LET US GO! I'LL DO ANYTHING!" I swear she was on the verge of crying.

"UH FINE!" I threw my hands up in the air in frustration.

"Ok thank you." Her mood changed drastically happy and she skipped away down the hall. She left deep marks on my arm.

"Thanks a lot Ethan." I send a death glare over to him.

"Glad doing business with ya." He said happily. He was about to close the door but he popped his head out again.

"Oh and it's on Saturday at 6 O' clock. Wear something nice." He said with a huge grin of victory and shut the door.

What did I just get myself into?
