those 3 magical words

violet's pov;

"I see you and Ethan have made up." Grayson smiles, shaking his head at the thought. We were currently eating breakfast together, whilst everyone else was sleeping.

I chuckle at Grayson lightly, "Yeah, we did." I smile to myself.

"Oh no, I know that smile all too well." Grayson says, taking a bite of his oh-so-famous avocado toast.

"What?" I giggle.

"You're practically glowing." Grayson shrugs.

"Sweat." I smile.

"Holy shit, you still like him don't you?" Grayson says, acting shocked. I shake my head with a grin, throwing a piece of toast at him.

"Hey! You know I'm right." he defends.

"I'm glad." Grayson says, his expression returning to normal.

"I don't think I've seen my brother that happy since high school." Grayson says.

"And it's because of one of my best friends. What more can I ask for?" he laughs.

"You're such a cheesy ass person." I laugh.

"Only when I'm happy." he smiles.

"Who's happy?" I hear Ethan's raspy morning voice. He was wearing a black tank top, along with his red shorts. I stare at him, taking him in in his morning glory. He always looked fucking fine when he woke up. The messy hair, the swollen lips, the morning voice.

"What?" he smiles, realising that I was staring at him.

"Nothing." I smile, still looking at him. He shoots me a weird look before sitting down next to me and pouring himself some cereal.

"Fucking hell, you two are awkward as hell." Grayson says, before bursting out laughing.

"Shut the fuck up Gray." Ethan says, rolling his eyes before giving me a peck on the cheek. I feel my cheeks heat up at the small action.

"Don't be rude." I hear another voice. Harley. She smiles, walking up to Gray before they kiss each other. A little too much.

"Shit, get a room guys." Ethan comments as he pours himself coffee. Grayson continues kissing Harley, flipping his brother off in the process. They both pull away from each other as Harley grabs a mug to pour herself some coffee.

"What's the news then?" Harley raises an eyebrow, looking between Ethan and I.

"Nothing." Ethan and I say in unison as we stare at each other, smiling like complete fools.

"Ya'll ain't slick." Harley says, narrowing her eyes at me.

"What?" I ask.

"You gotta learn how to be a little quieter." Harley says, sipping on her coffee. Grayson bursts out laughing whilst I look at Ethan in embarrassment.

He just shrugs, raising his eyebrows at me.

"Sorry." I say, smiling.

"She can't help it." Ethan smirks, shrugging.

"God, I don't want to know about that bro." Gray groans.

"Harley bought it up." I shrugged.

"Yeah because we came back last night and thought you guys were like dying, I don't know. Just heard the bed." Grayson says, laughing again. Harley and Ethan laugh at Grayson whilst I sit there, my face feeling like it was about to burn.

"Okay, okay. I don't need to keep listening to this." I say standing up.

"Listening to what?" Joey asks.

"Ethan and V, fucking last night." Harley says. Grayson shrieks with laughter, scaring the shit out of me.

"Oh for God's sake, why does everyone need to know." I say, putting my face in my hands.

"Sex is nothing to be ashamed of." Joey laughs.

"Not when everyone is talking about you!" I say, smiling as I rolled my eyes.

"Sweetie, we all knew it was bound to happen one way or another." Joey laughs.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I can't handle you guys." I shake my head, walking to my room. I sit down on the bed, going through my phone.

After a while, I see Ethan walk into the room from the corner of my eye. He sits down on the bed and I don't look at him.

"Don't be mad." he says.

"They're just messing." Ethan says. I look at him, rolling my eyes. I don't know what seemed to come over me but the question rolled out of my mouth before I could stop it.

"Do you love me?" I ask.

Ethan seems taken aback at the random question but he responds, "I always have. I've never stopped V."

We both stare at each other for a couple of seconds, before I kiss him again. His hand cupped my cheek as he deepened the kiss, his hands combing through my hair. He still managed to make goosebumps appear on every part of my skin and make the butterflies in my stomach go batshit crazy. Even thought it was simply a kiss.

It's funny how I never felt the same with Jamie.

I mean, I did, at first because of course every girl would feel special with their one person.

We both pulled away from each other and I looked at his beautiful hazel eyes. Something which I had missed looking at quite a lot. The fact that they would change colour. From being dark and dominant to the light shade of green instilled within the brown when he was in the sun.

I felt guilty as hell right now. I had just broken up with Jamie and just had sex with another guy. It makes me wonder if what we had meant that little to the both of us.

I don't really know what I envisioned with him. I never went to the extremes of imagining us being married with babies of our own.

"I feel bad. I just broke up with my boyfriend." I sigh, looking down into my lap.

"Yeah, so what?" Ethan says. "Princess, look at me." he says. I turn my body towards him, looking at his eyes.

"That asshole cheated on you the first chance that he had. I know this is harsh but if he moved on that quickly without acknowledging you, than he didn't really love you." Ethan says. A tear rolled down my cheek as he said that. I know I shouldn't be crying but he really was always there for me, even when I wasn't there for myself.

"Jamie is the biggest douche ever for not looking at what he had right in front of him. I mean, look at you." Ethan says, tucking a strand of hair behind me ear. He took my cheek, wiping away the tear as he looked into my eyes.

"He isn't worth your tears baby girl." he says as he smiles at me. He takes me into his arm, giving me one of his comforting forehead kisses.

You never really know how much you miss something or someone until you don't have it anymore.

"Ethan." I look up at him.

"I love you too." I admit. I had never felt so deeply as I had felt with Ethan at one point and feelings like that don't just go away, even if you want them to. Even after almost four years.

A smile that I had never seen before spread across his face. One which warmed my heart.
