Play pretend

chapter 1

Alexa:

I awoke to a blinding light streaming in from the cracks of my window . I dreaded getting out of bed , I lied down and shut my eyes for another five minutes .But they immediately shot open when I remembered I would be spending the day with Ethan . He had been so cute the night before texting me saying he wanted to cuddle all day , since he would be leaving on tour to Mexico City the following day .

As I checked the time , I began to run into the bathroom it was 10:00 and Ethan was supposed to pick me up at eleven .leaving me with barely any time to get ready . I gave myself a minute to relax under he heat of the warm water ,and then I immediately got to work , I shaved my legs ,and washed my hair with Moroccan oil .Once I got out of the shower I blow dryed my long , ombré hair and then swept it up into a messy ponytail .I then applied a light coat of mascara and some foundation , a minimal amount of makeup considering we would spend the day in bed , but knowing twins a camera would most likely be shoved in my face for the majority of the day . I slipped on A Lacey white bra and a matching set of under wear , I pulled on a pair of Nike cut off shorts and a simple black crop top . Lastly I slipped on a pair of Nike socks and Adidas , as I ran out the door I spritzed my juicy perfume on and grabbed my thin I phone 6 .

After standing outside for a couple of minutes scrolling through Twitter I finally saw Ethan pull up . When I hopped in I immediately noticed the frown etched into his face , I leaned over to kiss his cheek . " what's wrong?" I questioned . A very pissed off Ethan turned to give me a response " nothing I just in a bad mood , sorry ." What happened ?" I asked as I ran my hand over his as he began to answer he sliced the hand I wasn't holding through his hair . "I wanted to spend the day alone with you but now Grayson has Alex and jack over at the apartment , which I know is selfish because I specifically told him that I wanted to spend time alone with you , and it's not like we're not gonna see them ,there coming on tour . You aren't , and I rarely get to see you , and when I do it's for a short period of time and I want to be with you , it's not fair I mean I love what I do , but I don't when it keeps me from you and , and I don't know " he trailed off , heaving out a sigh .

I ran my thumb over the palm of his hand in attempt to soothe his anxiety "we can still be together it'll be fine ." I whispered , but in the back of mind I was fixed on memories of him leaving , and the one phrase that kept Turning over In
my mind " we never get to see each other " . Which was true ,and it was endlessly hard on both of us , but we found a way to make it work .

i looked over at Ethan as he continued to drive and decided to make the best out of the time we had left . I grabbed his phone and and turned it on , I had already saved my finger print on it as " ur main hoe " . I went on to Spotify and began to shuffle bruno mars .And for the first time Since I got in he car he looked over at me and smiled . We jammed until we pulled up at the apartment .

When we were both out of the car he wrapped his arms around my waist and pecked my lips " thanks " he mumbled against my lips I looked into his brown eyes ,and watched as the flecks of green flew around them , already knowing

he was reffering to the fact that i had distracted him . He held me to his chest , and my stomach flopped in a rush of nervousness . I was always nervous around Ethan , not because i was ever uncomfortable but just out of pure amazement that hes mine . i found myself especially nervous now when he was looking cuter than Normal wearing a life of Pablo long sleeve t- shirt and sweat pants , but he had his hair pushed back into a snapback , in the same way he knew guaranteed i would be staring at him for the majority of the day .

The second the gust of freezing air , and the intense sent of the twins coming from their apartment hit me ,I was blasted with silly string , typical . I looked up to find a very hysterical Grayson , I slid my hand out of Ethan's , and moved to wrestle the can out of Grayson's hand , which had proven to be very easy considering he was doubled over in hysterics . Once I had the can I sprayed him , and then joined in his laughter . " I've warned you on more than one occasion not to cross me Grayson , your gonna get it . " I said teasingly . " I know , don't worry I'm scared of you , I thought you were Ethan . " he said as he pulled me into a hug , I wasn't gonna lie whenever the boys were on tour I also missed gray , he was one of my best friends .
