Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 45

New Jersey 12 a.m.
Ethan POV -

I turn off the lights and the tv. I put the empty popcorn bowl in the sink and head up the stairs. As I'm washing my face and brushing my teeth I think of y/n. My heart felt warm and content when y/n was asleep and laying against me.

"I need to stop thinking about her." I tell myself while I shake my head. She's Grayson's girl and it's most likely they will get married some day and live happily ever after. I can't help but wonder if she would've fallen in love with me if I was the one sitting next to her on that flight to Kauai. "Nah, stop it E!" I whisper. The way Grayson and y/n look at each other.. that's a once in a lifetime thing. I turn the lights off in the bathroom and head over to my bedroom.

I get undressed and just before I want to dive into bed I see a ponytail peeping above my duvet. Emma. I pull the duvet back and there she is asleep in my bed.

"Emma.." I whisper as I shake her shoulder. "Ethan.." she answers. "Go sleep in your own bed." I respond. She turns around to face me and opens her eyes. "What is it about y/n?" She suddenly asks. "What?" I say caught by surprise by her question. "What do you mean?" I add. Emma sits up as I go ahead and sit at the end of the bed. "I see you looking at her." She continues. "You like her. Maybe not the same way Grayson likes her.. but I can tell you like her." She says. I look at Emma. "I don't know." I answer while I shrug my shoulders. "I just want to go to bed." I tell her.

Emma's phone buzzes on my bedside table. She grabs her phone and gets up. "You should tell y/n.." she says as she heads to the door. "You should tell y/n how you feel about her before she leaves for London." She adds as she opens the door. "Emma.." I say. "Sleep here with me." I add. I don't know why I'm asking her to stay, but I need to not think about y/n. That's for sure. She looks at me and closes the door. Emma walks back over to the bed and lays down.

"You're confusing." I tell her. "First you tell me I will never be with y/n.. and now you're telling me I should talk to her about my feelings." I get under the covers next to her. "I think you should tell her how you feel because y/n needs to know." Emma says again. "But I also think you'll never be with her." She continues and looks at me. I bite my lip and ball my fists. "Y/n belongs with Grayson." I breathe through my teeth as jealousy starts burning in my chest. I lock eyes with Emma and press my lips firmly against hers. I roughly pull her sweatpants down.
I need to get y/n out of my system!
