Baby Girl

Chapter seventeen.

Quick A/N: HEYOO its been a while, damn. I just couldn't stay away from this story oh my god! I have so many ideas, and lots of work to do! So get ready! Btw! 3k?! Wow. You guys are amazing. Love you all. :')

Maggies P.O.V

Im at a good point in life. I can say I'm happy, in a way. And Ethan? No word from him. Its fine, I guess. Its confusing. Ive been with Grayson, i love him. Right? Yeah, he makes me happy. And thats all the matters. . .right?

"My eyes meet his, and a shock runs through me, electrifying yet comforting.
He smiles softly like he knows whats going on.

"I feel it too" he whispers. Cupping his hands around my cheek and pulling me closer.

He taunts me for a second.

Finally, his lips graze mine softly as I wrap my arms around his neck.His plump lips full of life and passion as they move with mine in sync. For a while i believed. I believed in true love, the happy ever afters, in hope, in happiness.

He pulls away slowly as we breath harshly.

" i love you." He speaks in a low manner. Those words, sparked something in me. It made me feel alive. I smiled, a true smile made of pure happiness. I can see a smile creep onto his face making his dimple pop out.

And suddenly it hit me. This boy who had tickle wars with me, who held me when i was scared, who always gave me a warm smile and a welcoming hug whenever i saw him, who told me he'd never leave my side. This boy. Was the boy i loved. And at that point the words just crept out of my mouth.

"Ethan, i love you too."

I had just woken up as I flipped over and noticed and empty gap, i realized Grayson wasn't there. I pushed my self up and into a sitting position and noticed a note on the bedside.

"Ran out to get some breakfast, be back in a few. Love you x"

I smiled and got up, i took the chance to get ready, and by that i mean put some decent clothes on and take a shower.  There was a couple knocks on the door and after what seemed like a couple hours, Grayson was finally back. By now, it wasn't even breakfast time. I ran downstairs not caring if i looked a  bit awful. As i made my way to the door my phone rang, got a text from Grayson.

Grayson: Traffic was terrible, i have breakfast though! Ill be home in ten :)"

As i put my phone down i heard a knock at the door. I felt a sudden wave of fear come over me. I know i shouldn't have it could've just been the mailman or a friend but something just told me it wasn't anything bad just i don't know, call it a feeling. I threw on one of Grayson's sweaters and went to the door. As it creaked open i saw that there was nobody there. I was somewhat relieved. I turned to my right and i was stunned to see someone, a male, looking down at the wooden floor leaned against the wall. He wore an incredibly adorned suit that looked expensive and fine. His hair neatly styled, a strand falling, zayn style. His figure was lean and tall yet i couldn't quite see his face. By just his figure i could tell he was important, or was wealthy. I was taken aback by this random stranger who just shows up at my (and graysons) apartment  when I'm home alone. It was as if he couldn't even tell or realized my presence.

"Can i help you?" I asked, hoping he'd look up.

And my wish came true as my heart sank and i had an unbelievable and terrible urge to throw up.

"Actually, yes." He spoke. His voice deep and husky, his eyes locked with mine. He scanned me ,his eyes moving up-and-down sending chills down my body. After a while he finally decides to speak.

"Long time no see Margaret." He spoke my name and I felt as if someone had just knocked the air out of me. It felt so weird being called by my real name instead of just my nickname that i usually and have gone by all my life.

He slid his pink tongue across his lips, a habit of his as he begins again.

"you know I was just in the neighborhood and I thought i should drop by."  He spoke, explaining himself. "May I?" He asks signaling at the door as i stand there like an idiot saying nothing, just staring in awe.

I ignored his question in hope he wouldn't ask again. "Why are you here?"

He furrowed his eyebrows in thought, apparently it surprised him that i had ignored him. Big ego much?

"Calm down, I'm not here to see you. Now if you excuse me i would like to have a talk with
my brother. Where's Grayson?"

It infuriated me, he infuriated me. I mean who does he think he is? After how ever much time he has the audacity to show up? No, not just show up out off the blue, but show up, at mine and Graysons apartment asking if i would be kind enough to get out of his bloody way for him to talk to Grayson for about whatever reason.

"He's not here. Why are you?" I asked, him showing up in a suit asking for Grayson didn't exactly make me any less calm.

"Im here to talk. Nothing more nothing less. Is that too much to ask for?"

"Oh! So now you want to talk! After everything you've caused? After all the things you've fucked up so badly?"

He smirks as it grows out of pure entertainment.

"Tsk tsk. Poor Maggie. Even after all these years you still cant get quite over us. Lets not forget, you were the one who left, not me. Listen, I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, but piece of advice, don't settle. Not with Grayson." His voice full off agony and a hint of anger, actually a lot of it.

"I am not settling!" I yell back.

He smiles as he sees right through my words, he always has.

"Oh, but you are. You're in love with someone who doesn't love you back. But he loves you, so you're using him. Honestly, it looks like you're using him to get over whoever you're in love with."

His words hit me. And here it starts again. The mind games. The "what if's" the "maybe's". What if he's speaking the truth? Nonsense, you love Grayson, right? Maybe he's right, why would he lie now? No, he's playing with you. He cant be right. He cant. I stay quiet as i don't know how to react.

"Now you're going to break his heart. Looks like you've gotten yourself in a bit of a mess, doesn't it?"

WHAT IS UP MY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
