"you're fucking gross." i squealed as ethan gathered a mouthful of pool water, and spit it in the air.
he smirked, and swam over to me. "i think that you're jealous of my dolphin-like abilities."
i couldn't help but snort. "maybe a little, i guess."
he backed me up into the pool wall, and put his hands on my hips. "grayson isn't gonna be home for a while."
ethan knew exactly what he was doing, and i was falling for it. he knew the kind of impact he had on me, and it drove me wild.
"i can't stop thinking about when holden walked in on us. that was so embarrassing." my cheeks immediately started heating up. "that was god awful."
ethan laughed, then put on a serious face. "we don't have to do anything if you don't want to, i promise. you're in control, baby."
i had made so much progress this year, and i couldn't let fear keep me from doing things that i wanted to do. i wasn't about to let the idea of holden coming around ruin my day.
"i want to, but it has to be quick. you know that grayson's always early."
ethan lifted me up, and placed me outside of the pool. "being quick isn't a problem for me, baby."

we had just finished, when grayson made his way outside. we separated immediately, and coughed awkwardly.
jesus christ, not this again.
i couldn't even look at grayson, i was too embarrassed.
"you have got to be kidding me, please tell me that you didn't have sex in the fucking pool." grayson fell to his knees, and gripped his shirt. "this is probably the most disgusting thing i have ever seen, other than mom and dad–"
ethan was gagging. "please, don't bring that up. just... don't..."
grayson sighed deeply, before coming over to where we were, and sitting on the edge of the pool. "i could have gone without seeing my brother piping his innocent girlfriend, but anyways... look at this."
grayson unlocked his phone, and showed us a red and white screen.
was i seeing a youtube channel?
"we just reached six million subscribers. do you hear me?? SIX MILLION."
ethan was ecstatic. he ended up pulling grayson into the pool with us and cheering. somehow, grayson was able to chuck his phone onto the grass before it made contact with any water.
i was beyond confused. "congrats, to my favorite boys! i had no idea that you two made youtube videos though, is that weird?"
grayson gave ethan a confused look. "i for sure thought that you would have told mase about our videos."
ethan scratched the back of his neck, and laughed nervously. "no, it's not weird. when i started going to group, i had to make sure that nobody had really watched my videos. it makes me more comfortable, i guess. but... i'm really sorry for keeping this from you."
i wasn't mad at all, i really saw where he was coming from. "ginger found your instagram profile the other day, and she was wondering why the both of you had so many followers. it all makes sense now."
grayson raised his brow, and gave me a look. "you know, masen, we haven't ever seen your instagram... do you even follow us?"
i coughed, and looked over at ethan. they both had the same look on their faces. "actually, no. i wanted to have ginger do it for me, but she was already following you guys."
ethan wrapped his arms around me, and held me. "gray, go get mase's phone. it's on the chair, her password is 'grant'."
grayson did as he was told, and typed in the password. "you guys are cheesy as hell, it's cute."
he pressed on the instagram app, and waited for it to load. he went to my profile, and gasped. "jesus fuck, ethan. look at your girlfriend."
i had been exposed, the jig was up. since it was summer... most of my pictures consisted of my friends and i wearing bikinis, and somewhat suggestive selfies.
i was internally cringing.
ethan was actually speechless, which worried me. he and grayson were just scrolling through my pictures...
"god, you guys are creeps. get off of my profile." i was trying my hardest not to laugh.
ethan rolled his eyes, and kept his arms around me. "i could get off to your profile."
i groaned.
grayson snatched his phone back from ethan, and got out of the water. "i'm following her first, and i'm gonna eat the rest of the birthday cake ice cream."
ethan jumped out of the pool, and grabbed his phone before tackling grayson. "don't you DARE."
i was truly embarrassed. flattered nonetheless, but embarrassed.
my phone was making noises, so i decided to check it.
ethandolan started following you.
graysondolan started following you.
i followed both of them back, and looked over at them.
ethan rushed over to get me out of the pool, and covered me with a towel.
"alright, guys. there's a huge ass tub of birthday cake ice cream calling our names."
