Your POV:

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I sit up and rub my eyes as I reach out and grab my phone off the coffee table.

"Hello." I say with my sleepy voice.

"Hey. Are you still coming? Natalie's asleep." I hear Grayson's sweet voice.

"Oh uh yeah. Sorry I fell asleep." I say standing up and pushing my hair behind my ear.

"It's fine princess. So I'll see you in a few?"

"Of course." I say smiling.

"Alright bye." He says cheerfully. I walk up my stairs and into my room not bothering to change but to fix my messy hair and my makeup.

I look at myself and finally decide I'm fine with what I wore to work and I walk out of my room and down my stairs. I grab my purse and keys and I head out the door.

The whole drive to Grayson's I was fumbling with the radio trying to find a good station but of course I had no luck. Finally I sighed and left the radio at whatever station it was at.

I was stopped by a red light and I leaned my head against the head rest of the car seat and waited patiently for the light to turn green while I thought of what it was Grayson had to tell me.

Finally I pulled into his driveway and I took a deep breath as I pulled my key out of the ignition and swung my purse over my shoulder. I walked quickly up his driveway and knocked on the door and rocked back and forth on my feet as I waited for Grayson to answer the door.

The door swings open and I'm greeted by a smiling Grayson. I flash him a smile as he tells me to come in.

"I have some drinks set up in the kitchen." Grayson says as he closes the door behind me.

"Ok." I say as I make my way through the living room and into the kitchen. As soon as I walk into the kitchen I stop dead in my tracks and my jaw drops. I see a man standing at the island with a glass in his hand that looks exactly like Grayson. I turn around and see Grayson and then I turn back around to this man that looks almost exactly like him.

The man standing at the island chuckles. "You must be (y/n). I'm Ethan. Grayson's twin brother." He says as he walks up to me and offers me his hand.

"Uh nice to meet you too." I stutter.

"You don't seem so excited." He says jokingly.

"No no no. It's just Grayson never told me he had a twin brother." I say looking over my shoulder at Grayson.

"It tends to confuse people." Grayson says as he walks over to the island to pour me a glass of wine.

"I can see why." I chuckle as I grab the glass from Grayson. "Is this what you wanted to tell me?" I ask getting straight to the point.

"Uh kind of." Grayson says.

"Well then tell me." I say looking at Grayson with an intense stare as Ethan sits at the kitchen table.

"Well Ethan here is getting married in a couple of months." He says taking a sip of his wine.

"That's nice. Congrats Ethan." I say smiling at him. Ethan smiles and says thanks and my gaze goes back to Ethan.

"Well I need a date to go with me." Grayson says sipping his wine yet again but this time nervously.

"Grayson Dolan are you asking me to be your date?" I joke around.

"Uh yeah." He says scratching his head and messing up his messy hair even more. I grin from ear to ear.

"I'd love to." I say sipping the wine. Soon Ethan jumps into the conversation.

"So (y/n) how long have you been teaching?" He ask me.

"This was actually my first year." I say with a smile.

"Have you always wanted to be a teacher?" He ask.

"Yes." I answer quickly. He ask me a couple more innocent questions just trying to get to know me.

"Have you ever cheated on anyone?" He ask catching me off guard.

"Ethan!" Grayson shouts at him.

"What?! I'm just checking to make sure she's not someone you shouldn't be with." He defends himself.

"Actually I think she's very good for me and my daughter. She's been nothing but great to both of us an-" I cut Grayson off "No Ethan I haven't ever cheated."

"See." Grayson says rubbing it in Ethan's face.

"Sorry I just know what happened with Natalie's mom and everything." Ethan says looking at both me and Grayson.

"I understand." I say before Grayson could say anything else. "So Ethan what's your fiancées name?" I ask changing the subject.

"Macy." He says with a smile. "She's great." He continues with a big smile on his face that makes my heart melt. I want a guy to talk like that about me some day.

"That's great." I cheer. "Do you guys plan on having children?" I ask.

"Yeah. We both love Natalie and we'd love to have one of our own you know." He says looking down at the floor.

"Yeah it must be nice." I say with a smile.

"Do you want kids?" Ethan asks raising his eyebrow at me. I lean up against the island resting my elbows on it.

"Of course." I say with a shy smile.

"Well I'm glad Grayson found you. I'm not gonna lie when he said he started seeing Natalie's teacher I thought you'd be some old lady." He says laughing.

"We'll surprise. I'm 22." I say laughing causing Grayson to laugh also.

"Ok Ethan I think it's time you leave me and (y/n) alone." Grayson says walking around the island and wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Ok." Ethan says looking at Grayson and wiggling his eyebrows. "I'll be up in the guest bedroom." He adds as he leaves the kitchen.

"I'm sorry about him." Grayson says as I jump up and sit on the island.

"Oh no it's fine. It would've been nice to know you had a brother though." I said chuckling.

"Well he lives far away and everything so I guess it never came up." He says with a small chuckle as he moves and stands between my legs.

"Do you like his fiancé?" I ask out of curiosity as I move a small strand of hair off his forehead.

"Yeah. She seems to make him really happy. The wedding should be fun too. I'm glad you're coming with me." He says rubbing his thumb over my thigh.

"Well who else would be your date?" I say jokingly. All he does is laugh and leave a small kiss on my lips but it spoke a thousand words. I loved this man. I loved being with him and how I could be myself. I loved one of my student's father and I didn't even care.
