12. Self Control

Grayson's P.O.V.
I hear a bunch of knocks on the door that are fifteen minutes late, and I already know that it's my idiot brother and his friend, I guess you would call her that. Yeah Ashley.

Alex is talking to them for like five minutes then Ethan yells at him for something, probably the part of his rules that talk about not having sex in front of everyone. Then Alex laughs and steps aside for them to come in.

Ethan and Ashley enter and Ethan is watching Ashley, not the party. He moves his hand from hers, to her waist. Smooth motherfucker.

The two look at each other for a bit and I figure that Ethan is explaining himself. He would never touch a girl without permission or a reason. He may be kind of a player, like me, but we are respectful to the girls we are with.

"Yo E!!!" I yell over the music.

Ethan leads Ashley through the crowd of people dancing, making out, and drinking way too excessively. As they approach, my eyes land on Ashley. She's so fucking hot. Fuck you Ethan, always getting the better girls. But I'm not going to try to do anything because I can tell E likes her, even if he doesn't know it. I know him better than anyone.

"Hey Gray, what's up bro?"

"Nothing much man, I'm not drinking tonight cuz I have the SATS tomorrow and I have to get up early to study one last time. I'll be the DD for you and Ashley I'm guessing?"

Ashley's P.O.V.
"Yeah I'm Ashley Greene, it's nice to meet you Grayson. I've heard a lot about you." I reply with a smile. Damn these two look so similar, but so different as well. Grayson is also wearing black shirt and ripped jeans, except he decided to go without a jacket and his shirt has words on it. He also decided to style his hair (which is a lighter brown than Ethan's) and he wears one earring that has an angel wing dangling, unlike Ethan who wears two black studs. His eyes are also darker than Ethan's. Ethan's eyes are greener and look more sarcastic than Grayson's, so I'm guessing Grayson is the twin who is friends with everyone and anyone.

"Ah yes that would be me, the twin of this ugly kid. And you know a lot about me, but I don't know much about the girl who has been spending more time with my brother than I have. Here sit, and tell me about yourself Ashley." Grayson says with a warm smile while he moves over on the couch he is sitting on.

Before I go to speak, Ethan does first, "While you guys get introduced, do you want me to get us drinks?" He says with his jaw slightly clenched. I think Grayson notices and smirks.

I think about his question before answering. I'm pretty sure my doctor said I could drink with the chemo. Well fuck it.

"Yes please and thank you E." I say with a smile and he turns around to the kitchen. I politely take a seat next to Grayson and talk to him.

Ethan's P.O.V.
As I go to get Ashley and I some drinks, I really hope that Gray won't try anything. I'll admit I was getting a little jealous over how easy they were getting a long from the start. I didn't want to seem like an asshole so I distracted myself.

Grayson has always been more popular than me because he's more friendly, but along with that he's taken a lot of crap from people. And he's never rubbed it in at all. I mean he never had a reason, where he was popular, I had the grades and longer relationships. We have both been extremely good at sports, captains of the football and wrestling teams. So it's not like one of is better than each other. I just get jealous sometimes because he has this unique way of connecting with others that baffles me.

But at the end of the day, he's my twin and I trust him and want what's best for him. So I brush off my jealousy and ego and get the drinks.

Ashley seemed really hesitant when I asked her. I don't know, maybe she hasn't drank before or had a bad experience the last time she drank. So I reach the kitchen and just grab us two beers. Testing mine before pouring hers, not wanting to give her anything spiked and then having to punch the person who spiked it.

I return to the two of them and see Ashley's eyes brighten. She looks relieved. So maybe she was nervous, but hid it well.

Ashley's P.O.V.
Everything was going great with Grayson, but his questions all kind of hinted at why I needed Ethan's company everyday and I'm not ready to tell anyone that I'm probably dying in 2 months. So I didn't lie, I just dodged the subject with questions of my own and he got distracted easily.

Ethan finally comes with our drinks and I smile at him, glad to be back near him. I don't know why but just his presence calms me down and I feel safer with him.

"Here ya go Ash." He says with a smile. And I take my drink from his outstretched hand, thanking him.

Ethan and Grayson then start up a conversation about Grayson's time in school. I take the time to look around. Parties have always interested me, how music and alcohol can make people completely different.

I also realize the amount of eyes on the twins and I. The girls who's eyes aren't on the guy their dancing with, or sucking face with, are on the twins. The same goes for the guys, but their eyes are on me. Their eyes start to feel like weights and are making me uncomfortable. So, I start sipping my drink to give me the confidence to not care.

I'm about to go get a refill when my favorite song blasts though the speakers, Taste by Tyga. I smile and turn to Ethan who is finishing his cup too.

"Dance with me Dolan." I say with a smirk.

"Whatever you say Greene." He replies with a smile and grabs my hand, leading me to the center of the crowed room.

Ethan looks at me for a second before laughing to himself and grabbing my hips to pull me closer. I gasp at the feeling and he smirks. I gather my confidence and wrap my arms around his neck while we dance.

I into his eyes, and I forget that we are at a party and all I see is him and I. He locks eyes with me and pulls me even closer so our bodies are touching. He bites his lip and moves his hands down my hips to touch my bare legs, sending goosebumps to the surface of my skin. My cheeks heat up and I let out a suppressed sigh. Ethan and  sees and goes to move his hands. Not wanting him to stop, I tug on his hair and push myself even closer, if that is even possible.

Ethan's P.O.V.
She is tugging on my hair, making me lose all my self control. She smiles at my reaction, knowing exactly what she is doing. Two can play at that game Ash. I let out a small groan and run my hands up under her dress, making her moan slightly. She smiles a wicked smile and grinds her hips into mine. I do the same, not caring about self control anymore.

Suddenly Ashley stops, apparently the song ended, I couldn't even hear the music.

I do now and it's a slower song. I look down at Ashley and smile, she smiles back and leans into me. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer. She rests her head on my chest and we sway to the music.

My heart is pounding against my rib cage, and I pray she can't hear it. She is making me even more nervous now than before. I hear her sigh happily and I smile.

What is this girl doing to me?
