"What the fuck Ethan!" I yell after I slam the door shut.
I cross my arms over my chest, secretly hoping that I look as intimidating as I think I do. I watch as Ethan lowers his head in shame.
"I'm sorry. I don't even know what I was thinking." He says.
I roll my eyes, "Bullshit. Everything you do is a choice, and you chose to do that."
He shakes his head, not saying a word. He sits on the bed before actually making eye contact with me.
"I said I was sorry Aria."
I narrow my eyes, shocked at what he's saying.
"Ethan you punched your brother over a girl!" I yell.
My eyes drift to the cut on his left cheek and for some reason I feel pitiful. I then remind myself,
If you're looking like a bad bitch, act like a bad bitch.
Don't give in.
Ethan seems to have already noticed the guilt on my face and he smirks.
"What?" I ask, trying to play it off.
His smirk just gets bigger.
"Nothing." He says.
I watch him as he stands up and walks towards me. He gets so close to me that we're chest to chest. His smirk just keeps getting bigger the longer we stare at each other.
"You just look amazing." He says, putting his hands on my hips.
I roll my eyes and push him away from me. He's not going to make me give in to him today.
"Let's just get you cleaned up." I say, glancing at his cheek for a second time.
Judging by the size of the cut, Grayson got him good.
I walk into the bathroom and Ethan follows closely behind me.
I open the bathroom cabinet and find a bottle of rubbing alcohol, cotton balls, and a box of bandaids.
"Come here." I say and Ethan walks close.
I glare at him when he gets too close and he notices, taking a step back chuckling.
I open the bag of cotton balls and dip a ball in the rubbing alcohol.
"This is going to sting." I warn.
"Yeah yeah I know what it- Ow!"
I smile softly and Ethan notices. He smiles back before crying out in pain again.
●●●
I've gotten Ethan all cleaned up now and Kylie and I have decided to keep Ethan and Grayson in their rooms until tomorrow.
I've decided to shower before I sleep and put on one of Ethan's large t-shirts and pyjama pants.
It falls over my stomach in a way that actually makes me look skinny.
I sigh and turn off the bathroom light.
I walk over to Ethan, who is laying on the bed, presumably sleeping.
I lay down beside him and I'm surprised to see his eyes flutter open.
"Hey." He smiles.
"Finally decided to join me?"
I smile softly because I'm partially still mad at him for what he did earlier.
"I have no choice Ethan. There's only one bed."
He shrugs.
"Then maybe I should sleep on the floor? Since we're not partners or anything."
For some reason I was quick to stop him.
"No! Uh- I mean, wait!" I say.
He stops and smirks at me. I know what he's thinking.
"You never told me about your wife."
He freezes and his eyes widen. He rolls onto his side so his back is facing me now.
"Good night Aria-"
"Ethan, I'm serious. You said you would but you never had time. Now we have time, so talk."
He groans.
"She's really not someone I want to think about before I go to bed."
I shift onto my back, still looking at Ethan.
"Ethan come on."
He sighs before giving and turning over back to me.
"Fine."
I squeal excitedly and Ethan laughs.
"There's nothing interesting about her. Besides her body count. Which is 20, well last time I asked her. She cheated on me multiple times with multiple different men. That's why I felt the need to get revenge and get together with Kylie."
I purse my lips, unsure whether to ask my next question.
"What's your body count?"
"Only 2. I honestly had only given myself to Katie, which was clearly a mistake, and to Kylie. And Katie clearly wasn't the right one.
I laugh, "If you hate her so much, why don't you get divorced."
"It takes both of the two people in the marriage to sign the divorce papers. Believe me, I've tried, but she doesn't want to so I have to find another way." He says.
"So you've decided to run away for her?"
"Well, no. I'm just trying to remove myself from her life, step by step."
I nod my head but my smile drops when I realize I'm going to be doing the same thing.
I'm leaving at 3:15AM tomorrow so I can go home and continue my life, but not with Ethan.
He's been so nice to me for the last couple of days that I had to rethink this several times, but I've come to my conclusion that I will leave.
I'm leaving that early so I can get out while Ethan is sleeping. No one knows and I plan to keep it that way.
"Well good luck on that." I say.
He brings his hand up and runs his fingers through my hair.
"What else do you want to know?" He asks.
"Nothing else really. That's all." I say before turning my head the other way.
The thought of me leaving has just made me want to sped up this process.
The faster Ethan goes to sleep, the earlier I can leave.
I now have a fear of hurting Ethan, but I think he'll understand.
I feel his arm wrap around me tightly and pull me close to him.
This is going to be a problem in morning when I'm leaving, but I'll give it to him tonight.
God knows how long until I see him again after that.
I sigh before closing my eyes, feeling protected and warm between Ethan and his arm.
I hear Ethan mutter words under his breath and tuck his head into my neck before falling asleep.
I'll most likely miss Ethan and all he has done for me, but this is for both of us.
Ethan's still married and I have a life to live.
Everything will reset tomorrow.
