Illusion

Chapter: 4

*FLASHBACK*

"Work was good." I said to Gray over the phone.

"Well that's good." He said. "Was it busy?"

"No not too bad. Nessa and I were pretty bored so that tells ya we were dead." I laughed.

"Do you work with her everyday?" He asked.

"Usually. I work with her everday when it's school time. But when it's summer, she works 2-3 days with me since the other girls don't have school."

"Why only 2 or 3 days?" He questioned.

"Because she works at Subway and SA, the gas station connected to our store." I informed him.

"Oh shit, she's really working her ass off then."

"Yeah, she really is." I nodded, even though he couldn't see it.

*PRESENT TIME*

I woke up to an empty bed. Grayson wasn't next to me anymore. Maybe he just went to the bathroom. I reached over to the table by my bed to grab my phone off the charger.

11:30am.

"Well shit." I said to myself. I sat up in bed, stretched and yawned. I got out of bed and went to do my business in the bathroom.

When I was done, I walked out to my vanity and looked at myself in the mirror. I fixed my messy ass hair and decided to head upstairs.

Where's Ethan and Gray?

I shook the thought away and headed upstairs. As I got to the top of the stairs, I heard music playing and heard the boys talking up there.

I walked down the hallway and into the kitchen. The kitchen was on the left and the living room was on the right side of the house. I peeked around the fridge to see what the boys were doing. They were both at the stove. There was pancake batter out and the eggs. But let me tell you, it was messy.

"What are you doing?" I asked, making Ethan jump, earning him to drop an egg on the floor.

"E!" Grayson and I said in unison, laughing.

"Whoops." He said as he cleaned up the egg from the floor. "And we're making breakfast to answer your question."

"Why?" I asked and walked over to the stove, standing by Gray.

"Me and E wanted pancakes and eggs. Figured you would want some too." Gray informed me. "And they're my good pancakes so they'll be extra good."

"Gray, that's a box mix." I giggled and he looked like he just got caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing.

"Well, they'll still taste better because I made them." He winked at me. I giggled and rolled my eyes.

After a bit, we all dished up and sat down at the table to eat. We ate in silence for a couple minutes before I spoke, "What should we do today?"

"I don't care." Ethan shrugged.

"Me either." Gray added. "What's there to do?"

"Depends what. We could go to the mall or something. Have everyone go with. I can see what Paytn, and Annessa are doing today. Maybe Johordan? Depends what he works till. And I could ask Julia. She loves you two and she keeps telling me she wants to meet you both." I took a drink of my cup of coffee I made.
