Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 44

New Jersey 11.30 p.m
Grayson POV -

I'm not sure what to believe when I walk back into the house after my talk with Emma. She heads upstairs to bed and I walk towards the livingroom. My head is about to explode from all the thoughts running through my mind. But all those feelings disappear in a heartbeat when I see y/n fast asleep on the couch. Her head on Ethan's shoulder and her hand in a bowl of popcorn. Ethan is still watching a movie and grabbing a piece of popcorn every now and then. Trying to chew without any sound so he won't wake up y/n. I walk up to them and smile at her peaceful sleeping face. I grab her hand gently out of the bowl and pull the blanket back. I slowly lift y/n in my arms as Ethan supports her head and puts it against my chest.

"Thanks for keeping her company." I say to Ethan. "Good night." He says as I walk out of the door, back to the guesthouse. "Good night." I say as I close the door behind us. The cold wind that hits my face wakes up y/n. She slowly opens her eyes and smiles when she looks at me. "Hey beautiful" I whisper. She closes her eyes again and buries her face in my chest. All my worries seem so far away and far from important when y/n is happy and in my arms. I put my nose in her hair and breathe in. I would give my life to be in this moment with her forever.

With my elbow I open the door of the guesthouse. It's nice and cosy in here and makes me feel sleepy immediately. I gently lay y/n in bed. I take off her hoodie and sweatpants when she opens her eyes again. I crawl under the duvet next to her and pull her into a hug. Her soft skin feels warm. "Y/n.." I whisper. A soft "hmmm.. " sound comes from her face against my chest. "Have you been in contact with Whitney?" I ask. Y/n looks up. Her sleepy eyes are fighting to stay open. "Whitney?" She asks confused. "Yeah, has she been trying to contact you?" I ask again. "Yeah, she has.." y/n says a bit more awake than before. "Why?" Y/n asks. "If she is trying to take you away from me, I will have to kill her." Y/n now says with a serious face. I smile and pull y/n in closer. "No one is trying to take me away from you." I whisper in her hair trying to comfort her. But I'm afraid someone is trying to take you away from me, I think.

Those messages Emma received were weird. 'Stay close to her' what does that mean? When I confronted Emma earlier about those texts, she told me without hesitation that Whitney had contacted her.

Whitney apparently tried to contact y/n because she wanted to make up and get her best friend back. But y/n, according to Emma, never responded to those calls and texts. That's why Whitney was scheming a make up plan via and with Emma. Sound legit, but for some reason my gut tells me this might not be the whole truth.

"So, what have you been talking about with Ethan?" I ask y/n. She slowly closes her eyes again and mumbles: "Ethan slept with Emma." I must have heard that wrong. "What?" I say. I wait for a response but all I hear is y/n's soft and deep breathing, she's fast asleep.
