I like you better with no clothes on | g.d + e.d

Stuck in the Middle.

I pulled away from his touch, putting my hands on my chest, hiding myself from him. I felt so exposed and I hated it. I grabbed my bralette and clipped it on, grabbing my things in a bunch and turning to face him. I could hear him talking, but it felt like I was in a different room, hearing it dulled in the background. I walked past him, opening the door and shutting it. As it slammed, my senses readjusted. Ethan's door was ajar and I could see a small light peaking through. I opened it slowly to see Ethan lying down with his laptop on his lap. As I entered he pulled out his earphones, staring at me in shock. He looked at me up and down and I did too, realising I was just wearing my underwear. I shut the door and locked it, I didn't want Grayson coming in. "I was wondering if I could sleep in here.." I said lightly, putting my clothes on the end of his bed, making me stand awkwardly. "Erm.. Sure. Do you want me to go and sleep on the couch?" He asked politely. "No no!" I quickly answered. It was weird seeing him act so kind to me. He patted the other side of the bed, pulling the sheets to the side so I could climb in. I stepped over, slowly getting in besides him. He smelt so good even this late, his cologne still lightly smelling on him. 

I could see that he was uncomfortable, like he was not sure whether to just carry on doing what he was on his laptop or to to just talk to me, so I decided to make it easier on him. I shuffled, moving close to him, putting one leg over his legs and putting a hand on his chest. He naturally put his arm over my head, drawing small circles on my back. I shuffled closer, putting my head on his chest. "You can carry on with what you were doing if you want" I mumbled. "It's fine. I'd rather do this." His voice deep and raspy. He moved away slightly to put his laptop on the floor. He pulled me back into the same position, letting me snuggle back to where I was comfortable. I sighed from the warmth of his body and closed my eyes, concentrating on his breathing. He wrapped his arms around me which made me feel protected and I exhaled heavily. My head was swimming with thoughts but they started to drift away as I could feel myself falling asleep.

I woke up to the sound of a notification on my phone. I moaned and opened my eyes, everything from last night flooding into my head. Ethan was still asleep, his grip on me was soft so I could slip out easily. I really owed him. I kissed the top of his jaw beside his ear, making him stir from his sleep. I continued, tracing from the top to the bottom of his jaw. I moved to his neck, sucking one spot lightly. I pulled off and smiled. "Goodmorning to you too" he chuckled. I bit my lip. Our eyes locked and I hovered towards his face, lightly placing a soft and passionate kiss onto his lips. He returned it, taking it slow. It was different to Grayson's kisses, he was very demanding and needy, while Ethan appreciated the time. I pulled back, putting my forehead on his. I took a deep breath and sat up, swivelling my legs to the floor and standing up. Ethan moaned lowly, making me turn round in confusion. Did he not want me to get out? "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing. You're just so gorgeous." I blushed and grabbed my phone, sitting on the end of the bed with my legs crossed, facing him. He sat up against his backboard, looking at me with fascination. "You do like to stare don't you?" I laughed, looking at my phone. "Can't help looking if there's an angel right in front of me." "Don't be silly E." I said. Did I just call him E? I thought to myself. I wasn't the only one who noticed. He raised his eyebrows, shocked. "Hey, don't look at me like that, it just slipped out okay?" I stated. As I checked my snapchat, there was a knock on the door.

I whipped my neck round to face the door, fear bubbling in my stomach. I looked back at Ethan and he could see I was scared. He looked at me in a serious concern. "Did he hurt you last night?!" he whispered, demanding an answer. "No!" I answered, afraid that he would even question that. "Good. I'll go to the door, don't worry." he said quietly. He slowly got out of bed, walking casually to the door. Unlocking it, he opened it to reveal Grayson standing outside. He looked directly at me and my heart melted. I loved him so much but I wished it was the same for him. "What do you want?" Ethan asked bluntly. "I just want to talk to Helena." He said lightly. I stood up and walked to the door, standing behind Ethan on an angle. "Please just come into my room and we can talk about this." he looked deeply into my eyes, I could see he was desperate. "Okay." I stepped around Ethan and Grayson turned and walked to his room. I grabbed onto Ethan's hand on the way past, squeezing it to reassure him that I would be fine. As I got to Grayson's door, I shut it behind me. He was sat on his bed his head in his hands. "So you wanna talk? Let's talk."
