Hidden • E.D

Part 5

We pulled up to a boat dock and I turned to face Ethan in the car. Grayson laughed

"Well Ethan you really outdid yourself" Grayson said

"What im really confused" I questioned

"Just follow us" Ethan said as we got out the car.

We were walking down the dock to loads of boats and we stopped and I was greeted by a medium sized yacht.

"This is our Dads boat" Grayson said

I smiled and just knew tonight was going to be great. I walked up a small ramp and stepped onto the boat, Ethan and Grayson were stood at the bottom talking. I walked around and saw all white and cream coloured, fancy furniture, I walked up some steps and was at the top of the boat which had a small railing which acted as a balcony. The tip of the boat was pointed. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and I was approached by Ethan and Grayson.

      Ethans POV

Caitlin stood there in a tight black dress that showed off her figure, her long brown hair was over her shoulder, she turned around to face me and Grayson and all I could notice was her green eyes that shimmered in the moonlight.

"Hey, you look like you're enjoying yourself already" I said to her.

She smiled "This is amazing"

"Wait until we start going out to sea" I said to her

"Do you want me to start it up?" Grayson asked and elbowed me.

"Yeah sure, make sure you put it in Auto" I told him as he walked off.

I walked towards Caitlin and placed my hands on the railing that she was leaning against, the boat jilted and we started moving.

"Caitlin?" I turned to face her.

"Ethan" she looked at me aswell

"I know I haven't known you that long"

"18 days" she cut me off "sorry carry on" she said to me

"But I really like spending time with you."

I dont know why I felt nervous saying that, I mean it was true and I really cant wait to see what happens between us bad or good.

A week later

Ethan and Grayson have been away surprising their family they left three days ago, so I have had Ashley around more then usual. You can say im using her or whatever because I would completely agree with you. I miss Ethan and Grayson already, I miss making them watch Disney films with me, I miss staying up until 3 am talking about absolute bullshit.

"Hey you're in deep thought aren't you" I heard Ashley say

"Yeah sorry I zoned out" I said in my defence

"You miss them dont you?" She asked me and had a sincere tone

"What we have only known each other for like just under a month" I said to her

"Yeah you do, dont deny it because you have cut me off recently but as soon they have gone you want me back around, im not really that sad about it because I know that you're happy and all I want is for my best friend to be happy" she huffed at me I could tell she was hurt but I wasn't affected.

"Im sorry, you will have to come around more often" I smiled at her

"Its okay I dont want your pity" she smiled.

ASHLEYS POV

"Its okay I dont want your pity" I smiled.

Im jealous. I feel like im being replaced by two of the hottest guys to exist.

"Anyway you should get going now Ethan and Grays." She stopped. She realised that she was talking about them and she stopped. That pissed me off. I dont want to have to hurt her.

"Yeah I get it" I picked up my things walked out and slammed the door shut intentionally.

When I first met Grayson I got his phone number as I was Ashley the "best friend". Lets see what I got with this then.

Me
Hi x

GRAYSONS POV

Me and Ethan were on our way back a day early as we knew Caitlin wasn't going to leave the house and thought it would be fun to go out tonight.

DING

It was from Ashley

"Hey E, Ashley is Caitlins friend right?" I turned to him whilst he was driving.

"Yeah, why?"

"She just text me?" I said with a confused tone

"Really, saying what??"

"Hi x" I laughed

"Text her back lets expose her" He smiled

"Expose her for what exactly Ethan?" I asked him

"I dont know just message back" he pestered me

Ashley
Hi x

Me
Hello

"What'd you say" He said and sounded intrigued

"Hello" I answered bluntly

"Boring anyway we are about 20 minutes away now" he smiled

He seemed more happy about leaving home then he was going home.

My phone ringed again

Ashley
You okay? X

Me
Yeah, you?

Ashley
Yeah just bored, I don't suppose you would want to do something would you? X

Me
Something like what? X

I decided to put an x back as I probably looked like an asshole.

Ashley
I dont know just get a drink and food? Xx

Me
When? X

Ashley
Tomorrow maybe? Xx

Me
I will see 😊x

I feel as though that smiley face is the most sarcastic emoji out there and I felt now was a good time to use it.
