Ethan?

What the fuck was he doing here?

My mouth is wide open and my eyes don't drift away from him. I stare at him for a moment, watching the way he slyly smirks while giving us a small wave.

I shift over to Harry who's now meeting my own eyes with the same look of horror on his face before staring down at the shattered glass below me.

"Shit." I hiss bending down to pick up the pieces.

Harry hurries over to me stopping me. "It's fine, I've got it." He whispers before picking up the glass carefully. I can see his eyes turning into fury as he tries his best to finish up getting the pieces with the broom.

I stand back up to look at Rosie who's smiling widely at Ethan. "This is my boyfriend Ethan! Ethan, this is my sister Nina and her ex fiancé Harry." She tilts her head towards Ethan, whispering. "Ex for a reason."

This bitch.

"I'm standing right here." I say with a scoff. I look I've to Ethan who lets out a shocked laugh.

Rosie smiles and shrugs. "Was meant for you to hear it." I inhale a deep breathe and wipe my hands on the rag before walking over to Ethan and Rosie.

"Nina! Wow what a small world, huh?" Ethan grins a wicked smile. Rosie tilts her head in confusion before frowning at Ethan.

"You guys know each other?" She asks.

"Work." We both respond in unison.

I look over at Harry who had just finished sweeping up the rest of the pieces and was now currently glaring at Ethan with a clenched jaw.

Fuck.

"You Garcia's have great genes." Ethan smirks making me want to roll my eyes.

At this point, Harry looks like he's about to snap and Ruby who is by the kitchen doorframe has her mouth wide open, eyes darting between Ethan and I as if she couldn't believe it either.

"Anyways, we should probably get going. I have to give Lenny her gift." Rosie snarks up. She grabs a hold of Ethan's hand and begins to walk away.

On their way out, Ethan turns his head and gives me a flirty wink. For some reason, this makes me sick.

"Oh shit, that's your Ethan?...." Ruby mumbles. "When you said he was kind of hot, I didn't think you meant this hot. He's also dating your sister, what the fuck."

Harry immediately snaps his head over at me with a look of jealousy spread all over his face.

Ignoring Ruby's comment, I scoff. "I can't believe her. She probably did this on purpose."

"I doubt she knew that you knew him." Harry speaks up making me turn my head at him. "You don't speak to Rosie much about anything."

"Pretty boy makes a very valid point." Ruby says. "Also, you two are practically dating."

"We're not dating," I mumble to Ruby. "We just went on one date."

It's true, I rarely ever spoke to Rosie. Although we were sisters, our relationship has never been the closest or the greatest. The attention was always of course on her, being my fathers favorite and whenever there was an inch of attention on me she'd absolutely flip it to her.

For example, when I'd gotten my first car at the age of 16. It wasn't anything huge, just a small used up Prius from the dealer that my dad had managed to afford. I'd practically cried myself to sleep because I was so grateful about my parents even wanting to buy me this car. But, the moment I was about to test drive it, miss Rosie  "sprained her ankle."
