I pushed the door slowly, as it made a squeaking sound, revealing a shirtless Ethan.

"This is the last time, Ethan. I can't do this anymore." I sniffed. I couldn't bare with the feeling anymore.

The secret got too heavy for me to hold.

I saw his adams apple bob up and down as he stood up and walked towards where I was.

He caressed my cheek, and studied my every feature carefully.

He placed his lips on top of mine and cupped my face, deepening the kiss.

We began walking backwards, until we fell on the bed.

I was on top, and the kiss wasn't broken.

He proceeded to unzip my dress while his other hand rested on my thigh.

We pulled away and I looked down, avoiding eye contact.

He furrowed his eyebrows and gently pushed my chin with his index finger for me to look at him.

He wiped the tears off my face and placed a kiss on my lips.

"Look, I'm sorry for being selfish." He said.

I sniffed, as my lips quivered. "I can't do this anymore Ethan. I-I"

He shushed me and wiped the new tears that streamed down my face.

"You don't have to." He mumbled.

My eyes looked up at his, that were full of sorrow, guilt and hurt.

"I wanted you to be mine, Raine. I liked you, a lot. And knowing Grayson had you made me jealous. It made me angry. I don't know what I was thinking." He apologized.

My heart dropped, as my lips hung slightly agape.

"Ethan it's not your fault. I was the one who came to you wanting to get back to the deal. This is all my fault. I'm the one to blame." I sobbed.

He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug as he let me cry on his shoulder.

"Don't worry. Grayson won't have to know about what happened between us. I'll give you the money tomorrow."

I sobbed and looked at him in confusion.

He flashed a small smile and kissed me for the last time.

"I'm letting you go."

I looked at him and thanked him in a whisper, pulling him into another hug.

"Take care" I whispered into his ear.

Just as I thought everything was getting better, the door swang wide open.

Grayson stood there. A mix of emotions were plastered on his face.

Hurt. Anger. Hatred. Sadness.

And it was all because of me.
