THIS IS THE SHORTEST CHAPTER IN THE BOOK IM SORRY

Angela

My breathe glitches and my eyes widen as my finger tips release the glass in which Christina had handed to me only minutes before. Ex wife? How could I have not seen this coming, I shouldn't be suprised if he had a child.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry." I gasp, quickly leaning down, harshly blinking the tears away as they blurr my vision, my hands scrambling to clear up the shattered glass and I hiss as I cut my finger on a shard of glass.

"It's okay, accidents happen, here let me help you." Scarlett says and I look up to her to see her hand leaving Grayson's shoulder, his jaw clenching in anger as he turns around heading towards his bedroom and he disappears behind the door. Scarlett walks into the kitchen, a smirk evident on her face as her black stilettos carry her to retrieve a black dust pan and brush.

"I should have told you." Christina whispers, carefully placing the shards of glass on her palm and Ethan kisses her head before he leaves to talk to Grayson.

The tension rises as Scarlett hands me the dust pan and brush, then makes herself comfortable on the sofa which Ethan and Christina were previously sitting on.

"I thought you would have known, funny that." Scarlett says, hiding her smirk. "I guess you probably don't know much about Grayson, since he doesn't tell anyone really, well besides me."

Christina rolls her eyes, sweeping up the last bit of wine and I hand her a napkin which was already on the coffee table in which Scarlett takes her red wine, taking a few sips as the red liquid goes past her red lips.

Before I could ask Christina why they had gotten a divorce, Ethan and Grayson walked quietly through the door way, Grayson's head hanging down looking towards the floor and Ethan's large hand patted his shoulder. I shift from foot to foot awkwardly, not knowing if I should say something.

"I should go home." I sigh, half of me wanting to leave to my homely apartment and read the next chapter of Wuthering Heights, a book I which I have read page to page, however the other half of me loved the thought of staying a night in Ethan and Christina's luxury apartment.

"No." Was shared by Christina and Ethan, however an "Okay." Tumbled from Scarlett's ruby lips and Grayson only watched me under his thick, dark eyelashes which brought out the darkness of his brown eyes.

"Stay, it's Sunday tomorrow and we can go to the hair salon, my treat." Christina begged. "You're the only girl who I know in New York!" She laughs, however I wouldn't be suprised if it was true since Ethan and Christina had recently moved from California two months ago.

"Okay, that will be fun." I smile with her and I almost forget that Scarlett is currently giving me death stares as she crosses her legs on the sofa.

"Anyway, we should sort out sleeping arrangements."

In the end, Christina and I stayed in their guest room together, Scarlett decided she was bored so she left to her hotel and Ethan and Grayson stayed in their normal rooms.

"So, single or taken?" Christina giggles like a teenager as she places a piece of sweet popcorn into her mouth and Sex And The City plays in the background on the TV.

"Single, how long have you known Ethan?" I try to get all teen girl with her however I was a bit rusty after having no one to talk about guys with for over a year.

"Too long. We went to the same high school, I actually liked Grayson, you know?" She begins and I was suprised that both Dolan brothers didn't have a private education. "Grayson was the football captain and I was prom queen so I thought that it would be like another High School movie but no, it wasn't. Ethan was in my English lecture class in university and I've been with him ever since, he proposed two years ago, hopefully we'll be married in the summer." She sounds hopeful as if she's been waiting for this her whole life, it's probably felt like it though. "What about you and Grayson?" She laughs, wiggling her eyebrows as she chews on her popcorn.

"Ew." I laugh. "I would never like him like that." I to cringe, however I try to imagine Grayson and I walking down the road holding hands after an evening meal and I mentally laugh, knowing Grayson would end up getting annoyed at how I had split my drink and half my meal down my dress.

"Why not? I know he seems.. I don't know, mean?" She questions, her eyebrows furrowing.

"Arrogant." I add.

"A workaholic."

"Sharp."

"Rude." She finishes, laughing at our list of adjectives about the famous CEO Grayson Dolan. "But you barely know him, he's barely showed his real self. Honestly if you had met him before Irene you would have loved him the first time you would have met him." Christina points out and I mentally bang my head against the table at the mention of Irene again.

"I don't know about that." I laugh, searching around the room even though I can see her grinning at me in the darkness of the room, the moving shadows on the TV reflecting onto her perfect face.

"You would both be good for eachother." She says before we both agree it was time we should get some sleep as it was past 1 AM and Christina wanted to take me to the hair salon and I tried not to feel offended when he practically begging for her to take me because I was in desperate need of a new hair do.

-

"Goodmorning, beautiful." Ethan kisses his fiancé's lips, his white towel wrapped around his waist showing his toned stomach as Christina and I sit at the breakfast wearing silk robes as we place fruits in our mouths, Christina had ignored my protests of liking chocolate in the morning and gave me a bowl of fruit, not that I was complaing. "Angela." Ethan nods to me and I give him a smile trying not to stare too hard at my newly best friends fiancé's body.

"Angela and I are going to the hair salon at 12, would you mind driving us?" Christina asks, fluttering her long black eyelashes even though Ethan's back his to us as he reaches for his cereal box.

"I'll take you." A voice says behind me and I turn my head sharply to see Grayson dressed the same as his brother, a white towel hanging low on his toned waist and I spot a small tattoo on his hips, disappearing into the towel. He clears his throat, noticing my starring and my eyes widen, turning to carry on eating my fruit.

"Sure and then free you can drop Angela off at her apartment because I have a meeting." Christina grins and I know fully well she doesn't have a single meeting today.

"Okay." Grayson nods, making his way towards the fridge before opening the door, the light shining onto his muscled stomach and I find myself starring too long that I don't even notice I'm almost off the floor after leaning too far on my side. Christina nudges my elbow and sends me a wink, rolling my eyes I can't stop the smile from showing as I catch another glimpse of Grayson's bare upper half, wondering why he wasn't modelling. Maybe I should mention that in the next meeting. I shake my head, what would I say 'I know Mr Dolan has a really good body, Eleanor and most women here would agree with me, let's have the rich CEO modelling!'.

"Be ready by half 11." Grayson says, holding his coffee in his hand as he heads out of the kitchen.

"But it's half 10 now." Christina's eyes widen looking at the white clock that hangs on the wall by a hook.

"Then be fast." He walks away without another word and Ethan smiles at Christina's annoyed state and looks at me before looking back at her.
