FOURTEEN

ethan brought in the last box of things into arabella's house, setting it upstairs in her room.

arabella and ethan soon realized ethan had more stuff than they'd expected, so had spent the past five hours moving boxes and suitcases.

they finally got done putting clothes away and discarding boxes. also, getting rid of junk and moving big electronics. so now, ethan was officially moved in.

the whole time arabella had helped move stuff, she couldn't get the phone call with gray out of her mind. she knew she shouldn't push it some more, but was very curious.

ethan was about to go shower since they both were going to go out on a dinner date.

he carelessly left his phone on, giving arabella the perfect opportunity to steal it and go through his recent contacts.

she found the contact that said "gray" and typed it into her phone, then texted him.

arabella

i'm guessing this is gray?

gray

gray

moved on wow

arabella

arabella

gray

arabella

ethan likes right now

arabella

brothers to love
each other again

gray

address

gray

arabella texted gray her address, then started watching tv until she heard ethan get out of the shower.

ethan came out with a towel wrapped around his waist, dripping water onto the carpet. "hey bella,"

arabella's head whipped around so fast, surprisingly she didn't get whiplash.

"y-yeah?" arabella's palms began to sweat as she noticed ethan was holding his phone.

arabella feared that ethan must've found something out about her going through his contacts and texting grayson.

he narrowed his eyebrows in confusion as to why she was stuttering over her words.

"um you can go shower now,"
