Chapter 211

Ethan POV "So what about you? Do you have any girl drama, or am I the only one?" I laugh."I just got out of a relationship with a girl I was dating in Russia." He says, nodding his head."Why?" I say. "If you don't mind me asking, that is.""Well...I don't know. Okay, I do know." He says with a sigh before continuing. "I'm a good-looking guy. I mean, I don't want to sound cocky or whatever, but it's true. I'm a pretty handsome guy. Everyone thinks so. Realistically, I could get with whoever I want. I know how cocky that sounds, but it's true. I just haven't ever had a problem getting a girl. So Natalie—the girl I was dating—didn't put up a fight in dating me. She was very...quick to date me. She was beautiful. For real, she was one of the hottest girls I have ever seen, but there wasn't anything there. We didn't have anything in common. I just kind of want someone to see me for me. Not for what I look like." He shrugs simply."I get that," I say honestly. I do get where he's coming

Chapter 212

Ethan POV "Let's go to a different bar!" Clarissa cheers."Not. We're going to get you sobered up enough to go home." He informs her gently. "Are you coming home with me tonight?" She asks, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively."I don't think that's a good idea, love. You're going to pass out the second you get into your bed." He laughs.I let out a laugh, knowing that when Clarissa wakes up in the morning she will be mortified by the way she is acting right now. She isn't going to feel too hot going to work tomorrow, either. Even though she isn't scheduled, I know she'll be in the office. She never leaves.Melissa calls again, and I send it right to voicemail. I thought she would get the hint to leave me alone right now, but ignoring her calls only seems to fuel this fire even more."I want a burger," She groans."We can get you a burger," Evan says but shakes his head at me."No, I want one right now!" She groans."They don't have burgers here." He tells her."I don't feel good," she

Chapter 213

Ethan POV "Mel, please. Just calm down, babe. This isn't a big deal."These are the words that do it. These words are really what sends her over the edge. This fucking sentence damn near ends my entire existence. I watch her turn her gaze from out the window to me painfully slowly."What did you just say? Calm down? Just calm down, are you serious?" She practically growls."Yes, please. Just...relax. At least until we get home," I told her."What the fuck are you doing spending so much time with that Evan guy anyway? And Clarissa?You've never spent time with her before.""Evan kind of has a thing for her.""I don't see why." She scoffs, crossing her arms."Don't be rude," I say. I feel like I'm always having to remind her of this. Don't be rude...it's such a simple request, but she seems to have a hard time being anything but that."Why are you defending her? Plus, someone like him could do better than her. She's old anyways, and he's like...your age." She reminds me."She isn't old

Chapter 214

Ethan POV "I ended things with her," I tell Kyler. "You did? Really?" He asks, completely uninterested. "Yeah, I did," I say. "I don't fucking believe you," he laughs. "I did!" I defend myself. "Okay, so you're telling me that you looked her in the face while she was there and said that you were breaking up with her?" He asks again. "I mean, not exactly," I groan. "So what, you just put yourself on a break or something?" he asks. He already fucking knows this is exactly what happened. "I mean, yeah..." I say, trailing off a bit. "So you didn't break up with her." He adds. "That is breaking up with her!" I defend. "No, it isn't. A break is a half-ass breakup. You take a break when you want to go and fuck around with someone new for a little bit but don't want the other person doing anything shady. The person who calls for the break is always the one who wants to fuck around, too." He laughs. "That isn't completely true." "Okay, but it's true for the most part." He adds.

Chapter 215

Ethan POV "You're right. I'm not over it," I admit."I know. Everyone knows. That's why you can't let Melissa go. You don't want to be with Melissa at all. But you also don't want to be with Anna until you know that you can trust her. You have a problem with being alone, man. You don't fucking like that shit," he informs me.I don't have a problem with being alone. Well, I don't think I do, at least. When Haley and I broke up, I was fine. I wanted to be alone. I didn't want to date anyone. I didn't even want to see anyone. I was fine with being alone. I loved being alone."That's not true. When Haley and I broke up, I wanted to be alone.""Okay, but that was different. That wasn't being alone and being happy. That was being alone because you were depressed as fuck." He says, and I know he's rolling his eyes."I was not depressed," I defend.This is a lie. I'm pretty sure I was depressed as fuck."That's a lie.""Okay, well, what do I do? Like...I don't know how to handle this shit."

Chapter 216

Ethan's POV"Are you coming over?" I ask Anna, who has stayed with me in the office all day. Although there is a significant amount of work that hasn't been done because of her visit, I can't help but love and appreciate her company."Do you want me to?" she asks."I do," I reply honestly."Then I will," she smiles.As I grab my coat and she grabs hers, the phone on my desk starts to ring."I guess I'll answer this first," I say sarcastically. "Hello?" I ask the receiver."Ethan," I hear. It's my dad; I already know it."Dad? Why didn't you just call my cell phone?" I ask him."Because I wanted to see if you were still in the office or not, which you are." He tells me."Well, I'm about to leave," I tell him."Okay, well, I just wanted to let you know that your mother and I are in town. We rented out a house for the week. Christy and Ben are in town as well. Ben and I have to go to Portland for a few days and will be leaving tomorrow morning. He's interested in investing out there, and

Chapter 217

Ethan POV Ethan! Anna! I can't believe both of you are here right now!" My mom shrieks, pulling the two of us in for a hug."Hi, Mom," I say with an exaggerated cough, indicating her tight hold on the two of us."I missed you both! I'm so glad you came! Your father said that you probably wouldn't be able to come by today. This is such a nice surprise!" She says excitedly."Yeah, well, I thought it would be nice to come by today. I have missed you." I tell her honestly, giving her one last hug."I've missed you, love. How are you? How's work?" She asks me."I'm good. Work is good. Everything is really good right now," I assure her. She smiles at my reply and then directs her attention to Anna."Anna, love. How are you? How's Phoebe?" She asks."We're both really good. I miss her like crazy, but she's in good hands right now." She tells us. IForget that Phoebe is with her fucking ex-boyfriend, and the thought makes my stomach turn."That's so great. I'm so glad you're here. I'm so gla

Chapter 218

Ethan POV The car ride is silent as hell. I can feel myself clenching the steering wheel as more and more time passes. Anna shifts uncomfortably in the passenger seat, and I can honestly feel myself get ready to just flip out. I am so pissed off, it's unbelievable."Are you okay?" Anna asks quietly"Yup," I say, giving the shortest answer I can manage to give. I know she can tell that I'm upset. It doesn't take a genius to see this."Ethan, I'm sorry about earlier. About what Lizzie said. I'm sorry I laughed at what she said. That wasn't nice of me." She admits shamefully. She's right. It was fucking rude of both of them to do that. That's disrespectful not only to Melissa but to me as well."Look, this is the only thing I'm going to say about this. I love Melissa. I love her and I always will love her. Yes, she can be complicated and sometimes it's hard for everyone to understand why she is the way that she is. But, I still love her because I see past all of that. No, we aren't toge

Chapter 219

Ethan POV "I love you, baby. I'm sorry this is all poor timing. I'm so sorry. I do love you, though. I'm going to find a way to make all of this work, I promise." I assure her."Okay." She sighs in reply.I hate that I'm hurting her because I still have one foot in the door. The same goes for Melissa. I wish I could just work all of this out.When we get back to my apartment, everything seems as normal as can be. It's as if we didn't even have that discussion in the car earlier. It's as if nothing was said. Something about this is unsettling to me. While I should be grateful that the topic has been dropped, I can't help but wonder if this is something she is thinking about right now.Despite my curiosity, I decided against asking Anna about it. What good will it do? All it will do is raise yet another argument, which is something I am trying desperately to get away from."I'll be right back. I need to go and check my phone." I tell Anna as I get up from my spot on the couch."Okay. W

Chapter 220

Ethan POV Good morning, Sunshine." She says in a sleepy voice. I smile down at her and lean over to kiss the top of her head."Good morning," I tell her. I love waking up to her in the morning. I love it. It has been an unspoken agreement that she is staying with me while here in Seattle, and I love it. But, I know that with Melissa already in town it is bound to create tension."Who were you talking to?" She asks."Evan. He called out." I told her. "I guess he's with Clarissa now." I chuckle."Good. I'm glad they worked things out." She says."I am, too." I sigh. "Listen, can we talk?" I ask, already dreading this conversation."Yeah, about what?" She says, already getting nervous."Melissa came back into town early," I told her."Okay..." She says, waiting for me to continue."She's going to be at work today," I say. I hear Anna inhale deeply and lean her head back into the pillows beneath us."Okay." She states."I love that you're here, Anna. I love it. But, tonight I am going to
