Ethan's POV:
It must be hard for her right now because I can definitely see her staring. I was actually annoyed by my lazy self for the fact I didn't got up yet and for still being in my underwear. But since Selia is standing there in my doorframe blushing whenever I look at her I don't regret it at all to be a lazy ass. Amused by her obvious nervousness I turn off the music and run my fingers through my hair hoping to look not that bad. The moment I turn around she looks the other way and I have to suppress a smile so I just bite the inner of my cheek. My room is a mess which doesn't make it less uncomfortable but I shrug it off because she's obviously still not interested to know me better or to meet me or whatever. She has never been and she won't ever be and I'm not planning on getting rejected because this is what definitely would happen if I asked her to hang out or something so I just keep trying not to think of her that much because she'll never look at me the way I used to look at her. I guess. I hope. Kind of. Because it took me a while to get over the feelings in my stomach I got whenever she walked past. I'm not sure but I always felt like she always had eyes for Grayson. Just as the most of the people do.
When I open my wardrobe I look for some light grey sweatpants and a dark long-sleeved shirt and get dressed.
The moment I'm about say something to break the silence I get interrupted by the sound of a toilet flushing and Grayson smashes the door behind him. He walks up to Selia and kisses her right in front of my face and I feel a light twinge in my chest and I swallow. I look at the floor and put on a pair of socks. My jaw clenches and I walk out of my room passing Grayson and Selia and head to the stairs. At least now I know it was a good decision to not talk to her that much because I probably would have had make a fool of myself.
'Honey what happened that they made you get up finally?' My mom smiles at me sipping her jacket and grabbing her keys while my dad is sitting on the last stair taking on his shoes.
I think of Selia and her sparkling eyes and my brother kissing the girl I had a crush on for so long and I try not to think about something else that won't let me sleep sometimes for a long time now.
'Oh nothing. Nothing that special.' I shrug and pass my dad.
'Whatever now that you're up you can take out the frozen mincemeat. It's still in the basement but it's halfway defrosted and I need you to eat it today or tonight or whenever you want but as soon as possible. I bought ingredients for Bolognese. I might be wrong but I thought you wouldn't like to make something for yourself to eat that is more elaborate to make than spaghetti with sauce.'
'Oh it's fine mom thank you.'
'So your dad and I we probably gonna be late so feel free to have fun okay?'
'Oh yeah.. it will be fun.'
My mom furrows her brows.
'Is everything okay?'
'Yeah just have fun and don't worry about me or Grayson and Selia we'll do fine.' I laugh and give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek before they leave.
Selia's POV:
It's uncomfortable to kiss Grayson in front of his brother. I feel bad and I'm not sure why but I feel like Ethan doesn't feel comfortable as well. My guesses confirm when he passes us and heads downstairs seeming pissed. His parents and him talking then I hear a door shut. I get weak under Grayson's kisses and his taste but I also don't wanna cause any uncomfortableness so I pull back and smile at Grayson asking him to go make lunch because I'm starving and it's already like afternoon.
We arrive downstairs and the door of the basement is opened and I sneak a peek before Grayson shoves me forward towards the kitchen.
'Come one!'
He grabs my waist and starts to tickle me. It's hard not laugh and I burst into laughter trying to get rid of his grip and fight him.
