The Arrangement

-TWENTY-

The next day

"Sutton, I need you to pick up my suit for tonight's banquet party." Ethan reminds as he gets yet another tux tailored by Mrs. Holts. I nodded. I haven't talked to him all day... I just couldn't. Every time I tried, a lump in my throat would form and my heart would beat erratically.

I went over to my small desk and got my purse and files. But as I was turning around... I was Mrs. Holts tailoring near his crotch area of his pants, and smirking. And Ethan.... Biting his lip and clenching his fist while scrolling threw his phone.
Just walk away already!

"I'll be BACK shortly sir." I finally spoke bitterly and full of attitude. He looked over at me and I looked away and quickly left.

Jeez it shouldn't bother me. I signed a fucking agreement stating that it was strictly sex...no strings attached...but j want all the strings attached.

* * *

I walk outside and wave for a cab, well struggle to do to all the files in my hands.

"taxi!" I heard a familiar male voice yell from behind me and I turn around.
Fuck.

"Hello Sutton." Grayson greeted cheerfully with a grin and i nodded. I stepped aside to let him get in his cab but he just opens the door and waits. "Well are you getting in?" He asks and I just smile "sharing is caring." He said with a smirk and I laughed. "Yea ok sure."

" so where are you headed?" He asks and I stayed silent. He huffs and clears his throat. "Sutton, you can't avoid me." He says and I turned to look at him.

"Don't you hate me? I mean it seemed like I pissed you off pretty badly." I bring up and he shakes his head. "Look, just because I don't like- no I mean fucking loath what you agreed to doesn't mean i hate you or don't wanna be friends. " he clarifies and I smile. "I'm glad to hear that gray." I say sincerely and he grins.

"So, where you headed?" He asks again and I sigh in frustration. "Picking up a suit for Mr. Iwannafuckanyone." I say angrily and he cocks his head. "What?" He laughs akwardly and I shake my head. "Uh nothing." I say and he shrugs it off. "Well you want to grab lunch?" He asks. "ohh no it's o-" "nearest diner please." He tells the cab driver, interrupting me. He looks over at me and winks and I just shake my head and laugh.

                                * * *

" So tell me. How's The...uhh...job? He asks and I scoff. "Job? Huh yeah right I'm like his fucking slave." "Understatement of the year." He Laughs and I punch his arm. "You walked into that one." He Chuckles and I roll my eyes. I take a sip of my drink and end the conversation

"Well, it's almost 3. We might as well head back." "No!" I say almost immediately. "I mean... Yeah sure." I laugh akwardly and he raises a brow. "Alright let's get going."

                              * * *

We step into the elevators and wait in silence as we to up 69 stories.
Ha. 69.

He looks down at me and i just look straight. Until I feel his hands grab my side. "Hey!" I move quickly and he backs up. "Yo no I saw this stuck to your jacket." He says holding up something clear and white and puddy looking. "oh God that's a condom!" I yelled and gag and he throws it on the floor and wipes his hand on me. "Don't fucking touch me!" I yell laughing and then the doors open and everyone is staring at us.

"Why is everyone staring?" He whispers. "I don't know." I whisper back.

"Uhh mrs. Ryans.. uh, Mr. Dolan wa-" "where the fuck is she!" I heard a loud and angry voice yell and i flinch. "Wants to see you." The lady finishes. "Sorry." I mouth to her and cautiously head to Ethan's office.

I walk through the door and he turns around from the mini bar, cup in hand.

"Where the fuck have you been?" He yells and I jump. "I...." I hesitate and then just stay quiet. "I asked where the fuck we-" he stops when the door opens.
Ohh fuck Grayson.

He looks at Grayson, then at me then at him again. "Ethan it's-" "No! What the fuck did I say?!" He screams then Chucks the the glass across the room, causing it to shadder against the wall.

"Ethan." Grayson speaks calmly and then suddenly he is grabbed and pushed up against the wall. "Get your hands off me." He growls and pushes Ethan off of him. "Get your hands off her then." "I never touched her!!!" He yelled back and Ethan backs up. "we both know that's a lie. Now get the fuck out of my office. You're fired." He said coldly and my eyes went wide.

Grayson laughs then just walks out the door.

Then Ethan looks at me......

"Ethan no!"
