| Emma's POV |
James sped round to the twin's house after hearing what had happened with me and the pool. It brought back memories and he ended up getting a little teary eyed.
Ethan allowed us to use his bedroom to talk so I cross my legs and lean my chin on my hands
"So how was the date?" I ask and James scoffs and shakes his head
"It was SMALL. I mean very small" he replies with disgust dripping from his tongue "he came and I went" he says bluntly and I hold back a snort by clasping my hand across my mouth.
I'm still sat in Ethan's oversized T-shirt and James definitely notices and smirks towards me
"So where'd you sleep?" He asks and I tap down upon the bed and he gasps "Ethan's bed? You naughty girl!"
I slap his leg playfully, gulping down the memory and the fact that James simply had no idea how naughty i had really been.
The door swings open and Grayson obliviously steps in, he realises that James is sat across from me and scratches the back of his neck
"I came to apologise but I-" he looks at James and gulps down
"You don't need to apologise" I giggle and his eyes burst open "get here, goof" I open my arms for a hug and he gratefully takes the offer. He not only wraps his arms round me but pushes me backwards onto the bed with all his weight on top of me.
I squeal from his heaviness.
There's quick hurried footsteps and Ethan appears at the door way. He looks at me with Grayson fully smothering me and clenches his jaw, before travelling his eyes down to my bare legs.
"Who said you were all allowed to have a fucking gathering in my room?" Ethan snaps and Grayson darts himself off of the top of me looking guilty.
I pull the T-shirt further over my legs to try and hopelessly cover my bare skin but it doesn't stop Ethan from hungrily looking at me subtly and then scowling at his brother.
"While we're all here me and Grayson want to talk about something" James announces and I tear my eyes from Ethan and his veiny arms and look at my best friend.
I bite my lip, hoping that my cheeks weren't starting to blush just at the thought of Ethan.
"We had a video idea, but we don't know if you guys would want to take part because it's kinda... close to home" James says with an anxious look
"It's cool bro, the fans will love it" Grayson assures his brother but I can't bring myself to even look at him anymore.
"You know because your fans... and me all call you daddy"
I grit my teeth, I don't know why that sentence got to me- but it did.
"We thought it'd be fun to put it to the test" Grayson carries on from James giving him a side eye and then looking back at his brother. I don't dare look up from my anxiously fidgeting fingers.
"I ordered these robot dolls and I thought we could film a day with them"
The boys stayed silent until Ethan huffs,
"Yeah whatever I don't care anyway" then he leaves the room without another word. I know that he's just trying to keep up his reputation still especially around James and his brother, but it still hurts.
"How do you wanna do it, Ems?" James asks
"Um I don't mind, however" then I look back down at my crossed legs and hope that the bed would just swallow me whole.
We are about to relive what had started all of this, and not to mention the fact that we are then going to be filming it. I'm anxious to say the least.
"If we go in couples I'll go with you, Emma, okay?" Grayson offers and I shake my head and shrug
"I can go with Ethan if you want, I can look after myself" I mumble back and he sighs and puts his hand upon my knee as if to tell me that it's all okay. He doesn't know how much it's hurting that one minute he's nice and the next minute he's not.
"We can pick out of a hat on camera, that way the fans don't go crazy, yeah?" James suggests
"You sure you're okay with that?" Grayson asks sweetly and I finally look him in the eyes and nod with a small timid smile, which he mirrors.
—
Grayson and James left to collect the babies from his house, apparently he had had them in storage for over three months. James also agreed to pick up some of my clothes from my apartment as he was passing, because I told him that I feel unwell.
I'm not lying, I've started with a cough and my voice sounds extremely manly. I wrap my whole body into a ball and cover myself tightly in Ethan's bedsheets and large top. I haven't moved from his room since the conversation earlier.
There's a knock at the open door
"How you feeling?" Asks Ethan moving round the bed so that he can sit next to me
"Why do you care?" I snap back in my groggy voice and he scowls at me waiting for an explanation "oh don't act all dumb" I cough bringing both my hands up to splutter into my hands
"Sorry" he whispers bringing his hand down onto my back and rubbing it in circles "I'm kinda a jealous person"
"Yeah, no shit"
There's a weird silence until he finally parts his mouth and speaks,
"You sound really hot like that, chambie" he holds a smirk and gradually tangles his hand with mine and begins to rub his thumb over my knuckles soothingly. I roll my eyes playfully and sit up in his bed "you sure you want to film?"
"I'll be fine" I giggle before coughing some more. Its weird how it just came on in a few hours
"Okay well if you need a time out then tell me, okay?" He says with an eyebrow raise and a straight face, "I'm serious"
"Yes dad" I respond back with a slight shake of my head
"Mhm call me that again" he says sarcastically bringing his fingers down upon my ribs to tickle me, I squirm away from him
"Go and set up" I order pointing at the door
"But-"
"Go and set up, baby" I repeat with a smile and he stands from the bed walking towards the door before turning round and pointing at me from across the room,
"You're fucking lucky I like you, chambie"
I roll my eyes and blow him a kiss before he disappears and finally I'm happy.
