IN MY BROTHER'S SHADOW

Chapter 1

Cole’s POV.

I was about to head to the dining room when one of the maids told me someone was at the door. I rolled my eyes. 

Thanks to the laziness of the maids, I don't know why they can't do it, so I open the door to see Ethan.

From his brown hair to his blue eyes and his muscles to his sculpted chest. I blush at the sight of him. He looks down at me with those beautiful eyes.

“Hey Cole” His deep husky voice sends the butterflies in my stomach fluttering .

“Hey Ethan” I say trying to hide my stuttering .

“I'm sure you're here for Marcus.”

“Yeah.” He said with his eyes roaming my body. I blush even harder.

I call Marcus's name loud enough for him to hear me.

“He'll be here soon.”

“Of course he's gonna be.” He said, chuckling.

I went to the dining room before Marcus came. He hates me just because I'm gay. He doesn't like me being around his friends, especially Ethan. He doesn't even talk to me. It kinda hurts. But I am used to it. I remember when I fell in love with Ethan, when we went on a trip to the beach.

*Flashback* (Cole was thirteen at the time)

Third Person POV

Cole was in his swimming shorts while Ethan watched him, ignoring Marcus who was speaking to him. Ethan and Cole's parents were discussing business.

Cole jumped into the water, swimming until a heavy wave hit him. He was drowning. Ethan, who was watching him, immediately jumped into the water and swam to him.

Ethan carried him from the water, attempting CPR.

Cole coughed up water, meeting beautiful Ocean eyes. He blushed at the sight of Ethan hovering over him.

“Are you ok ?” Ethan asked with worry in his tone. Cole nodded.

Whilst he got up with the help of Ethan, everyone gathered around them. Including the help. 

*End Of Flashback*

Cole’s POV

That's how I knew I was gay. I dated a lot of guys but they never made me feel like Ethan made me feel.

I sat on one of the chairs, waiting for one of the maids to attend to me.

“Mind if we join you.” Ethan said

“Not at all.”

I am sure Marcus isn't very excited to eat with me.

Since the last couple weeks he's been skipping breakfast, lunch and dinner, because of me.

The maids  finally came.

“What do you want sir?” The maid asked me

“I'd like a ham sandwich and strawberry juice.” The maids left to get my lunch.

Another set of maids came asking Ethan and Marcus what they would eat. Ethan ordered the same thing smiling at me.

I blushed looking down.

While Marcus he just ordered water. Does he hate me that much?

******* 

After we were finished, minus Marcus he drank only half of his glass.

“Well that was great thanks for having us.” Ethan said, winking at me.

I blushed trying to speak without stuttering .

“No problem.”

Marcus just got up and left.

Can someone treat their blood so badly?

“Anything wrong?” Ethan asked worriedly.

"No” I answered

He's so caring. One of the many reasons why I love him.

“Well bye” He said walking out of the dining room

“Byeeee”I say blushing.
