It's been a couple days Ince I left the twins' place, after what Grayson did. I've been staying in a hotel a few blocks down from their place, and Grayson has know idea. 

He's been texting me off and on, asking me if I'm okay, if I'm safe, he's even been apologizing for the way that things went down the other night, but I haven't replied to any of the messages. Mostly because I'm sick of fighting with him and I know thats what it will turn into.

As much as I love him, this is what's best for the both of us. 

Ethan and I made plans to leave California for the weekend. We're going to Colorado. 

"Yo, E" 

"Whats up?"

"Exactly what time are we leaving?"

"In about an hour or so, why?"

"Just wanted to make sure so that I'll be ready in time." I flashed him a small smile, before walking back into the bedroom to fix my hair. 

"Hey."

I looked at him who was now leaning up against the doorway, watching me.

"Yeah?"

"How are you doing after everything thats happened?"

"I'm okay."

"Promise?"

"I promise." 

"Look at me when you say it."

He was standing behind me, looking in the mirror trying to get my attention. 

"Ethan, I promise," I looked up at him through the mirror. "I'm fine."

A part of me was fine, but the other half was screaming and begging for someone to help me. I hated feeling like this.

I flashed him another small smile. 

"Has Grayson tried to contact you?"

I sighed, opening my phone and going over to Grayson's chat, I tossed my phone at him so he can read all of the messages that Grayson has been sending me. 

"Why haven't you answered any of these?" 

"Because I told him that I needed time, Ethan." I said as I began searching through my bags, looking for decent outfit to wear. Once, I did, I went back to the bathroom to change.

"Shit." I stood there trying to reach the zipper on my dress, but I couldn't. "Ethan...." 

"What's wrong?" 

He came in where I was and chuckled. "Having issues?" 

"Shut up and come help me."

The small room was filled with his soft laugh. I couldn't help, but giving him that 'innocent' smile. 

He walked over, slowly raising up my zipper. 

"Thank you." 

I suddenly felt his hands on my waist, pulling me back, closer to him. When I looked in the mirror, I seen that he was looking down at me. 

I suddenly felt his hands on my waist, pulling me closer to him. When I looked up in the mirror, I saw that he was looking for my back. His warm breath was going down my shoulders which gave me the chills. 

"Common, we should get going," I said as I slowly started walking away from him, with a small smirk on my face. "we're going to be late."

He grabbed my hand, pulling me back towards him, then backing me up against the nearest wall I let both of my arms rope around his neck as his lips trailed down my neck. Soon, his lips were on mine. 

"You have know idea how long I've been waiting for this." He said in between kisses. 

I couldn't help, but smile.  He started leaving small hickies down my neck, as he did that, a small moan slipped out of my lips. He pulled away chuckling. 

"Did you just-"

Suddenly, we were interrupted by my phone, ringing. 

"Please, don't answer that." He begged, but I had already answered it. He let out a small sign, then mouthed, 'you're gonna get it'. as I connected the phone to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"With Ethan, why?"

"Grayson has been texting and calling me all day, asking where you are." 

"You didn't tell him, did you?"

"No, of course not. I've been leaving him on read and letting his phone calls go to voicemail."

"Thank god." I let out a sigh.

"I'm not standing up for him in anyway, Sarah, but he sounded really worried about you. Why won't you answer him."

"I need time, Aaron." 

Ethan pulled me close to him, by the waist, leaving small wet kisses down my neck. I could feel this little shits grin, against my skin.

"And I respect that, but you should at least let him know that you're okay. He sounded really worried in the voicemails that he keeps leaving." 

"I'll text him when I'm ready, Aaron. I understand that he's worried about me," I bit my tongue trying to hold back any unnecessary sounds. This little shit knew exactly what he was doing. "but, what he's been putting me through is just not okay. 

"You're right, I'm sorry." 

"No, it's fine. I appreciate you being so worried about me, but I need time." 

"Okay.." 

"I'd love to talk more, but I'm a little busy at the moment. I'll text you later?"

"Yeah, sure-"

After he said that, I instantly hung up the phone on him and tossed it somewhere in the room.

"It's about damn time," He said as he picked me up by my ass, causing me to squeal, setting me on top of the counter, as he got in between my legs. "I didn't think you'd ever get off."

"That wasn't cool." I tilted my head to the side, giving him more access to my neck.

"You love it and you know it." 

I laughed at him, softly. I moved my head back, leaning it against the mirror, making him look at me. He then kissed me. 

Thats when I felt it, the sparks.

My arms roped around his neck, once again. He pulled me in closer, depending the kiss.

Shortly I ended our moment, which caused him to sigh. "Why'd you do that?"

"Because we have to get going, you said we'd be leaving in 40 minutes, its almost been 40 minutes."

"You stopped our first moment, just to tell met that."

I nodded laughing, he just shook his head, helping me down handing me my phone. 

"Common, lets go princess."
