Holiday Romance | Ethan Dolan

Chapter 12 - Interference

~ Day 15 ~
~ Sunday ~

BELLA'S POV:

I woke up to the sight of Ethan Dolan asleep next to me. His expression, so peaceful. The digital clock on Ethan's bedside table had the time of 12:29am. This was the latest I had woken up so far on my holiday.

Ethan's arm was still loosley around my waist while his other arm was by his pillow. I slowly removed his arm from me and put it by his side, luckily it didn't wake him up.

I glanced in the mirror and frowned at my wild brown hair. Quickly, I threw it up into a messy bun and exited Ethan's room. I began to walk to the lounge/kitchen where I heard someone watching something, maybe on tv.

I entered the lounge to see Grayson lying on the sofa watching Nate's new YouTube video on his laptop. I think he was still in his boxers but he had a blanket that he was wrapped up in.

"Hey Gray." I mumbled as his head turned to face me.

"MORNING!" Grayson yelled while shutting his eyes so they crinkled at the sides.

"Wow." I winced at the loud noise. "I'm too tired for that amount of energy." I shook my head.

"Are you joking? It's not even morning anymore." Grayson laughed, throwing a pillow at me. I caught it and threw it back.

I walked to the kitchen section of the apartment and got some juice out of the fridge. Grayson was laughing at Nate's video as he watched it. I sat down by Grayson's feet on the sofa.

"Where's Sophie?" I asked, sipping my drink.

"She went home after you and Ethan went to bed." Grayson informed me.

"Oh, I thought she was going to stay over?" I frowned.

"Nah." He said simply.

"So, are you guys a thing yet?" I smirked.

"No. No we're not. I think we should just be friends." Grayson closed his laptop and sat upright.

"Why? I thought you liked her? Well I assumed you did." I shrugged.

"I do like her. She likes me, but I don't think it would work out." Grayson sighed.

"What? Why not?" I frowned.

"It's kind of a weird reason." Grayson winced at his thoughts.

"Go on." I usher him to tell me.

"Well you and E are dating. Ethella and all. I mean our fans ship you a lot. But I don't think they would appreciate both me and Ethan having girlfriends so I'm kind of staying away from getting into a relationship." Grayson poured his heart out to me. His hands were clamped together.

"Gray, your fans want you to be happy. Yeah they might be a little mad or upset at first but then they'll see how happy you are and they won't care anymore." I tried to reassure him.

"You know, don't worry about it. I'll make you breakfast, are you hungry? You should wake Ethan up, he needs to get up." Grayson said in a happy tone, like nothing had happened. He jumped up and walked to the kitchen.

I knew that he didn't want to talk about that tender subject anymore so I just simply nodded and headed back into Ethan's room.

He was sprawled out on the bed, entangled in covers. His messy hair stood up in all directions. Smiling, I opened the curtains so that light shone on him, showing off his tanned skin.

I jumped on the bed, causing him to bounce a bit. However he still didn't wake up.

"Ethan." I shook his shoulder. Still nothing. Right.
