My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 44 - Sweet

Ethan's POV
Kyla and I cuddled up on the couch, wrapped in blankets and watching Netflix. She fell asleep about half an hour into American Horror Story, but I didn't blame her. She hadn't exactly had the best nights sleep for the past few days, sleeping on a chair and all. I played with her hair while she slept, I loved being this close to her. I finally had her back, she was mine again. I told her I'd convince her to be mine, I had finally. Sure, she tried convincing herself that she still wanted Gray and that she didn't love me, but she'd finally said it out loud.

She loved me.

My arm started becoming numb, I shuffled around a little, trying not to wake her. She snuggled her face into my chest, I kissed her forehead and leant my head on her's. This is where I felt happiest, most at peace... Our legs intertwined, her arm over my chest and my arms wrapped around her. She was my drug, my piece of perfect in this shitty world. Closing my eyes, I felt her heart beating in sync with mine. The world slipped away, leaving us alone together.

Waking up, the sun crept through the blinds, shining onto her face. She looked like an angel. I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. She opened her eyes, looked up at me and then snuggled into my chest more.
"Morning baby girl" I whispered to her.
"Good morning sweet"

'Sweet?' Cute.

"Are you hungry?"
"Mmm no. I just wanna lay here." I could tell she was still half asleep at this point, it was cute.
"Are you sure?" I laughed at her. She nodded and snuggled into my neck.
"Okay." I kissed her forehead and laid with my eyes closed, relaxing. Kyla then kissed my neck, causing me to jump a little.

"I'm gonna jump in the shower real quick though" she said lifting her head to kiss me on the cheek.
"Do you need any help with that?" I smirked at her. She punched me in the arm and laughed.
"Ethaaaan, stop."
"I had to ask, sorry!" She shook her head at me and stood up to leave.
"So did you need any help?" She hit me with a pillow.
"If you wanna join me, feel free." I could tell she meant it sarcastically, but I agreed to join her anyway.
I got in the shower before her. For some reason, I felt nervous to shower with her. We'd had sex before, I didn't know why I felt like this, but I did.
"Are you coming in or not?" I laughed at her behind the shower curtain. She pulled back the curtain and stepped in, joining me in the shower. Seeing her naked body again made me blush slightly. Normally, with other girls, when I saw them naked, I only wanted sex. With her, it was different. She was beautiful, every bit of her was. Seeing her like this made me want to protect her and love her every single day.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her with the water pouring down onto us. We stood there, in silence, just holding each other for a few minutes.
"Kyla?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" She whispered back to me.
"I love you." She hesitated for a few seconds.
"I love you too." A smile formed on my lips, I bit my lip. It felt so good to hear her say those words after everything that's happened. After all the drama, even after she looked me in the eyes and told me she wanted Gray. Part of me still knew she wanted him, she loved him but I was determined to keep her.
I lifted her chin up to look at me, she smiled and bit her lip. I sighed slightly as she stroked my cheek.

She made me feel weak and defeated... Like she was my only weakness in the world.

"You're so beautiful..."
"Ethan, stop." She tried hiding her face but I moved her hands.
"No, you are." I leant in, kissing her under the hot water and pressed my forehead against hers.
"Be mine, baby girl."
"What?"
"We're already basically dating!" I laughed.
"But..." She sighed.

"Grayson."

"What about him?" I felt my jaw tense up.
"I..." She looked at me with sad eyes.
"Still love him, I know. I try not to think about it."
"What would we even tell him anyway?"
"Oh hey Gray, I know a week ago we were dating, then you found out I had great sex with your brother and now I'm dating him." She punched me in the arm and laughed a little.
"Stop."

The rest of the shower was a little less cute. It involved nearly elbowing each other in the face as we tried to wash our hair and slipping everywhere.
She went into Gray's room to change and 'fix her face', I went downstairs to make breakfast for her. I knew she'd want Lucky Charms, as always.
"Kyla, breakfast" I shouted up the stairs.
"Thankyou" she called back to me as she walked out of Gray's room.
We sat on the couch, watching Rick and Morty as we ate cereal.
"Oh, Jack's coming back over today isn't he?" She asked.
"Yeah, he texted me not too long ago saying he'd be over soon."
"Great, I can beat his ass at Mario Kart again" she laughed.
Half way through the episode, there was a knock on the door. I stood up, leaving Kyla on the couch, walked over to the door and opened it.

"Hey man! Come i-"
