Life Goes On || g.d

[12] He's Back

One week later
✱ Naima's p.o.v ✱

It almost feels kinda weird to have Ethan back in the warehouse again, but a good weird. I can easily tell that Grayson is happier with Ethan around, and that really makes me happy.
Since they wrapped the movie earlier than they thought they would be able to, he was able to move home now. So I guess that I basically live with one more guy now.

"Babe, mom called" Grayson enters the room and leans against the door frame.

"Yeah?" I look up from my notepad where I'm currently writing on some new music.

"You remember my cousin Harper?" I nod even though I'm not completely sure who it is, he has a lot of cousins okay? "Well, apparently she's getting married next weekend and we're invited" he continues.

"Sounds fun" I say, still not sure who we're talking about.

"You don't know who Harper is, do you?" Apparently he saw and heard the iffy in my voice.

"I'm sorry" I chuckle and hide my face in my face "but to my defense, you have a lot of cousins!" I defend as I take my hands away.

"She's the one with the freckles" he explains and that's when I remember her.

"Oh now I'm back on track! She's the really nice one" I smile and Grayson chuckles.

"I guess, do you wanna go?"'he questions and I think about it for a second.

"Of course, but do you really think that it'll be a good idea? I'm afraid that we'll ruin her day if a paparazzi finds us and then before we know it the rest of them swarms around us"

"We can't live our lives in fear Naima, but if it makes you feel any better all wrote to Harper and ask her"he suggest and I nod.

"Thank you, I really don't want to ruin her day. Now, If you excuse me, I have a song to write" I get up from the little songwriting area I have made in our bedroom and walk up to him. I kiss him soft on the lips before I smile and push him out. I close the door and get back to my little corner and put the quilt over me.

Annie wants me to release a song really soon, since I'm very popular right now from the Teen Choice Awards. So that song is what I'm working on right now. Since I wrote that song for the charity concert I have got better at writing songs by myself, nowadays I write the song and then my writers comes with more ideas and inputs.

Ethan has actually helped me with this one, he's much better at writing than Grayson. Grayson is basically useless but Ethan is actually really good. Whenever I'm stuck I go down to him and he helps me.

I take my guitar to play what I have written so far, and it actually sounds really good. I change a few chords before I'm happy and keep writing the rest of the song.

✱ ✱ ✱

When I walk downstairs to take a break, I see Ethan standing by the door. He's dressed in fancy clothes and he's all styled up, I guess that he's going out.

"Hey, where are you going?" I ask and wiggle my eyebrows.

"On a date" he simply replies and continues to tie his shoes.

"Who's the lucky girl?" I ask with a whistle and he chuckles.

"You'll find out soon enough" he says and before I can answer, he's out of the door. That was the worst answer ever! He won't even tell me who his date is, that's weird. He usually tells me everything.

I see Grayson sitting in the kitchen with his computer, probably working, and I go to sit beside him.

Before I even got to open my mouth he speaks up.

"Don't ask me about the girl, he won't even tell me, his own twin" he says without looking up from the computer.

"That's weird, who is this girl?"

"I don't know, but hey Harper texted me back. She told me that she really wants us to come even though the risk that it brings" he says and finally looks up from the computer.

"Then I guess that we're going to a wedding in a week" I say with a smile.

"One more thing though. Harper really wants you to sing to them" he says and I see in his eyes that he basically begs me to do it.

"Sure, what song?" I sigh and he puts a hand on my thigh.

"I know that it sounds like she's using you, but I can promise you that it's nothing like that. She would never do that and you know it" he says and looks into my eyes.

"Yeah I know, what song?" I ask again and he smiles.

"Thank you, she's gonna be so happy. She wants you to sing halo by Beyoncé"

"Do you think that it would be okay if I change it up a little? That song is kinda boring and people have listened to the original way too much" I say and I hope that he agrees, because that song is actually boring. I think that it would funnier if I changed it up a little.

"I guess" he says and I'm quickly on my feet. I walk out of the room and grab my phone from the counter.

I have it make a call to set my plan in action. I dial his number and after a few signals he answers.

"Hi Alex! I need your help"

✱ Ethan's p.o.v ✱

I get out of my car and I immediately see her beautiful face standing outside the restaurant, waiting for me.
I'm kinda nervous, this is my first date since Karlee. She's the only girl I have dated for real and I don't really know how to date. With Karlee everything was so simple and given, but it's not Karlee this time.

I walk towards her and she turns to me and gives me one of her beautiful smiles.

"Hi there"
