A Soft Devil (COMPLETED)

Chapter 52

"You've gotten be fuckin kidding me," Grayson said when he saw the both of them.

Zaria looked up, and she took my breath away. She had a long scratch on her right cheek, and her hand was wrapped. What the fuck happened to her? I turned to act like I didn't see it, but Grayson's dumbass reaction made it more than obvious that he saw. Zaria turned to reach for her shirt and hide her face, but Ethan stopped her saying don't worry about it. She didn't reach for it, but she still covered her naked torso and faced away from us. Ethan faced the both of us.

"What's the problem?" Ethan asked in a very calm voice.

"You know what's fuckin wrong. You're kissing Mason's sis-"

"Her name's Zaria," Ethan corrected him.

"You're kissing Zaria knowing her brother will fuck you up for kissing his sister."

"Actually we're dating now."

"What?" Grayson asked obviously more than shocked.

"We sat down with Mason today, and told him what was up. He obviously was against it at first, but after a little more explaining and convincing he accepted us."

"Was he sober?"

"Yes because he vowed to quit drinking this time. He even starts his first day in rehab tomorrow."

"This true Zaria?" Grayson asked her.

"You don't trust me?" Ethan asked him a little hurt.

"I trust you. I just don't believe you."

"Ethan's not lying Grayson," Zaria muttered not looking at him.

"So if I were to call Mason right now and ask about this, he would say it's cool?"

"Call him Grayson. Drive down to Rhode Island if you have to, but please have some faith," Ethan told him before he rested a hand on her back.

"I'll have some faith after this call," he said before pulling out his phone to dial his number.

I looked at the two of them while the phone rang. The way she rested her head on Ethan's shoulder, and he rested his on her head I could tell she made him more relaxed. She was his zin, but what was Ethan to her? Was he her protecter?

"Hey Mason," Grayson started.

"Hey man. What's up?" Mason asked on the other line.

"I heard you're going to rehab tomorrow. That true?"

He let out a sigh before answering. "Deadass my nig. I need help man. I realized that when I saw Zaria's face after a hangover. I couldn't believe I did that."

Zaria dug her face deeper in Ethan's shoulder to hide the scaring. He whispered something to her before kissing her head. Makes sense why the scars there now. I don't think I could live with myself for doing that to a family member. He really fucked up her face.

"Well it's good you're accepting it and getting help."

"Wish it happened sooner."

"Well at least you're doing it now."

"Thanks man. Is that all you had to ask me?"

"Naw I actually wanted to ask you something else."

"Go head."

"You know Zaria and Ethan dating?"

"Yea. I mean I was lil iffy bout it at first because Ethan's a hoe, not for nothin," he quickly added.
