Tough Love | g.d |

It's been a few days and things seem like they've bee okay. Grayson and I decided to talk things slower. Him and Ethan are also taking things a step at a time.

A couple days ago, Ethan and I decided that we would try to go back to being friends, if thats even possible. He said that he was going to try to move on, but the last time he said that, it didn't end well for him.

***Flashback***

"Do you think you can give E and I some space?" I asked the guys as we were all sitting in the same room. "please?"

"Yeah, of course." Matt said.

"We'll be outside if you need one of us." Aaron said as Grayson nodded his head in agreement.

"Thank you."

I smiled lightly as I watched them all walk outside. I waited until the door closed until I said anything.

He got up from where he was sitting, walking over towards where I was standing which was against the wall. He put his hands on my waist, adding a grip on them both, as he pulled me closer. 

"You know how much I was this to work out, right?" I smiled looking up at him.

"Yeah," He paused, furrowing his brows for a second, then his grip on my waist loosened up. "but we can't do this, can we?"

"Let me explain first."

"Is this why you said you wanted 'space' with me, to the guys?"

"Uh huh."

Suddenly the loosened up grip on my waists, was completely gone. He backed up a few steps away from me, without saying anything.

"Ethan."

Nothing.

"E."

He shook his head walking in the kitchen.

"Ethan c'mere." I said as I tried to reach for his hand, but he walked further away. "Ethan Grant."

He stopped walking when I called out his middle name.

"What?"

When he turned around, I grabbed his hand pulling him closer to me.

"Don't be like this."

"Like what? Hurt? Upset that the only girl I've liked for serval months is just going back to the guy who's hurt her serval times?"

"It's not like that, Ethan.."

"Then what's it like, Sarah because its exactly what it seems like." 

It's like I froze, I knew what I was going to say or at least I think I knew what I was going to say, but either way if I knew or if I didn't, nothing came out.

"Right."  He said, slowly backing up away from me again, but this time I was refusing to let him leave, I pulled him back, but this time he didn't say anything, he pushed me up against the counter, kissing me.

It took me off guard because I didn't except him to do that, but I didn't stop him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back.

When he picked me up, I wrapped my legs around his torso, he gripped my ass, making an unnecessary noise seep out of my lips. I ran my fingers through his hair as we both pulled back to catch our breath. We looked in one another's eyes, before he kissed me again.
