Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 53

London 5 p.m.
Y/n POV -

Only a couple of days later Mike and I receive a serious bid on the house. Mike is trying to get as much money out of this sale and keep me attached to him as long as possible, but I just want to get rid of the house. I tried to talk to him, but he still thinks we will get back together. I can't talk to that idiot without him hitting on me. I don't know what to do and I decide to call Grayson. But he isn't answering my phone calls. It's only 9 a.m. in L.A. so he is probably still asleep. I'm starting to panic because I don't want these buyers to withdrawal their bid. Suddenly Ethan's words float through my mind 'call me whenever you need me'.

Should I call Ethan for advise? I try Grayson's number again but still no answer. I'm not sure if it's a good call to reach out to Ethan, but I need to talk to someone.

"Hi y/n!" I hear an enthusiastic voice when I call Ethan. "Hey E!" I answer. "How are you? He asks. "Could be doing better." I honestly say. "Why? What's up?" Ethan asks. "We've received a bid on the house." I say. "What? So soon? But that's good news!" I hear him yell. "Yeah" I respond "and it's a good bid as well, but Mike doesn't wanna sell. He's being a real pain in the ass." I add. Ethan stays silent for a couple of seconds. "Y/n.." he all of a sudden says. "We can solve this in a good way or in a bad way.. it's your call." He adds.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused. "I actually called for some advise on how to handle this situation." I continue. "You don't have to handle anything. I'll fix this! Now tell me.. the legal or illegal way?" He says confident. I'm at loss for words. "Wh-.. what is the illegal way?" I ask out of curiosity. "Well.." Ethan says. "I could let someone threaten him into signing this deal. Maybe even beat the shit out of him." I gasp at the thought. "Or I could send over a lawyer, who will make sure you won't be connected to Mike in any contractual way ever again. But that's kinda the boring way!" He chuckles. "I think we've had enough drama." I tell Ethan. "So let's go for the boring way." I say. "I hear Ethan laugh. "Your wish is my command."

London 8 p.m.
Y/n POV -

I'm back in my safe haven. The bathtub. And took the last two letters I received from Grayson with me. He hasn't called me back yet and I'm starting to get worried. But I don't wanna be the overly dramatic and overly protective girlfriend, so I decide to wait it out. I reread both letters and a smile appears on my face.

Ready. I'm so ready to start our new life together. I'm having a hard time without you here by my side. And I know I'm in the wrong for taking my frustration out on drinking. But it somehow eases the pain and makes me feel numb. I promise you I'll do better and I will make sure that everything is ready here for your move. I still can't believe what is about to happen and I still can't believe you are mine. You are everything I've ever dreamt of and more. I miss you more than words can ever describe. - Grayson

Remember the first time we ever laid eyes on each other? I think about that flight a lot. How we couldn't stop talking for hours and how hard and deep I fell in love with you. I often think about how our lives would be if we didn't decide on going to Hawaii. If I didn't sit next to you on that flight. In the beginning those thoughts would scare me. But now I know we are meant to be. I feel it in my core, in my soul. And I know that we would always find each other. In every situation, in every lifetime. - Grayson
