Him

chapter 14

Ana's POV
I woke up with a pounding headache and my eyesight blurred. The world was spinning. What the fuck did I get myself into? I opened my eyes to a different setting then what I'm used too. I shot right up which wasn't a good idea. I got dizzy and fell out of bed and onto the hard wood floor. Ow! I just layed there and started laughing. Though I was in pain and confused, I was in a good mood.

"Good morning." I hear a deep, gentle voice greet me. I look under the bed and see a pair of feet and steam coming from the room they walked out from. I slowly pick myself up holding on the night stand for support, where I then am faced with Ethan. What the fuck?

He is only in a towel, his hair wet and leaving droplets over his toned, muscular body. I stare at him in awe and bite my lip. I then close my eyes knowing I must be dreaming. I open them back up and there he is. I look up and smirk. "You want to put on some clothes?" I ask as I laugh. "Oh shoot sorry I forgot." He apologizes and I see his face get red.

I sit back on the bed and finally realize I'm in Ethans room. Oh shit! We didnt do anything did we? Oh my gosh! He walks back out in sweats and a T-shirt and sit down next to me. "How are you feeling?" He asks concerned. " not so good." I say as I hold my head. He hands me a glass of water and some Ibuprofen.

He gets up and heads out the door. And I'm left there confused. I look down and notice I'm in a oversized white t shirt and some sweats that are obviously not my size. Ethan then walks back in with some breakfast. "Now you my friend, should eat." He hands me a plate with bacon and eggs and some fruit. I smile at the offer and take it. "Thanks." I respond with a laugh.

After a few minutes I can't help but ask. "Okay cut the crap. What the fuck did I do last night?" He looks up from his plate and gives me a hard look. Then begins to chuckle. "Well..." He hesitates and grins. "You were at Tods party..." He starts off and I nod. I remember that. I wanted to leave my house because my mom was with another man who obviously wasn't my dad.

" well you had some drinks... And started to dance... With my brother..." he spits out the last few words with a stone cold face and clenches his jaw. Oh. What did I do?

"You had a little to much to drink after a while, and simply face planted on the concrete as you walked outside. " he continued sternly. Welp, thats what I get for drinking. "Um... How did I get here? You helped me?" I asked curiously looking up at him. His eyes lock mine and he lightly smiles. "Of course. I drove home in your car if that was alright?" He replies in a hushed voice. I look confused. "Yea its fine..." I pause "and um sooo You uh- you undressed me?" I said my face going red. "Uh huh" he nods biting into toast. "You put me to bed?" I was flushed with embarrassment and he could see it. He smiled and nodded again.

"i also took off your makeup." He laughed. " I didn't want you staining my sheets." He spits out with a light chuckle. I laugh in response. We sit there finishing our breakfast in silence. Before he gets up, he adds "and no ana, we didnt do anything." He takes my plate and I nod and end up getting up and head for the bathroom. I look in the mirror and I dont see myself. I see a new person. I didnt look as bad as I thought but I wasnt quite happy with the person in my reflection. I hopped in the shower and let the hot water wash over me.

I head out of the shower until I realize I have no clothes. Great. I wrap a towel in my hair and one around my body and walk out.

"Can I have my clothes please?" I ask embarrassingly to Ethan. He looks at me then looks up out of repsect. "I think not." He respond. "Umm... Then what am i supposed to we-" I try to ask when I was interrupted by Grayson walking in. Fuck!

I stare at him and he stares back, Then down at my cleavage which was covered in a towel, Then looks at Ethan and then back at me...oh no.

" well shit E i see What's going on here." He winks at Ethan and laughs. "no we didn- its not like that-" I try to spit out when Ethan takes over. "Nothing is going on here. Ana needed help from last night and I respectfully assisted her. I'm not like you and fuck and run any chance I get." He spits out harshly and Grayson tenses up. "Damn E alright. Well since nothing happened mind if I take her fro-" he says and looks in my direction then Ethan butts in and softly but sternly says "No I will not! Now get the fuck out before it turns into something she wouldn't want to see!" He growls.

Grayson puts his hands up like hes surrendering and winks then walks back out and slams the door. "Sorry about him." He apologizes in his gentle voice. I never heard him raise his voice like that before. So angry.

I'm still standing there with only a towel and its kind of  getting uncomfortable. "So can I have some clothes?" I finally say. And he turns to me and quickly grabs a sweatshirt and some sweats and hands them to me. I thank him and head back to the bathroom to change. I walk to the sink and notice a toothbrush with a note left on the counter. " 'Too much to drink is not good. Use.' - E " I smack my forehead and shake my head. I must smell like an alcoholic. After I brush my teeth and wash my face I throw my hair up in a messy bun and walk back out into his room.

He looks at me and gives me a smile. "You look beautiful" he says and I blush. I grab my phone and see I got 2 missed calls, and voicemails from my dad. Wow. My mom didn't even seem to notice me gone.

"I should go now." I finally say to break the silence in the room. he nods and walks me out. He walks me across the street to my front door and hands me a bag with my dress in it and heels. "No more drinks okay?" He laughs. "Ouuu, no promises hun." I laugh and he rolls his eyes.

I open the front door to yelling inside. I quickly close it and drop my head. Ethan gives me a concerned look. "Is everything oka-" " you should go. Thanks so much. I appreciate it." I say cutting him off and I walk inside and shut the door as quick as possible.

I stand by the door and thats when I hear the roaring coming from the living room. I walk in and see my mom and my dad, faces red and flustered, exchanging hollers in each others faces.

And that's when i see my mom slap him across his face. Oh fuck to the no.
