All Chapters of His Fake Hired Girlfriend: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ethan's POV. Despite the argument I had with Anna, I don't want her to go home. I don't want her to go home now after overhearing the pieces of her phone call with Phoebe. Fuck, I never want her to go home. I want her to be here with me, always. I do fucked up shit to her and I know she deserves better than me. I know she does, but I'm too fucking selfish to let her go. Haley was a mistake. The biggest fucking mistake of my entire life. I lost Anna because of it. Because my fucking horny male mind let Haley get the best of me. I fucking hate myself for it. The fight was fucking pointless anyways. It wasn't worth watching her leave. It wasn't worth the tears that left her eyes. I'm a fucking dick and I know it. I'm tired of fighting with her. I just want to have her and Phoebe here. I just want things to be the way that they used to be. Five minutes since Anna left feels like an hour.Ten minutes feels like a fucking eternity. Twenty minutes have passed and I am about to just fucki

Ethan POV "Sir? Is everyone safe?" She asks me."I had her little sister lock herself in her bedroom. I am in the hallway right now. My girlfriend is in the room with her dad." "And is the gun still in the room?" She asks. I can hear her typing quickly on the other side of the phone."Yes." "Do you know if your girlfriend shot her father?" The operator asks."No! She didn't! I mean, I don't know. I don't think she did. She wouldn't do that! She could never do that!" I yell into the phone. "Sir, I am trying to get all of the information that I can. Someone should be arriving at the house shortly. For now, I need you to go and get the little girl and go outside and wait." "What about Anna? I need to go and get her, too." “Ethan, you need to make sure that no one else gets harmed in any way. You need to go and get the little girl. We don't know if your girlfriend is safe or not, and we need to make sure you two are. When you get outside, go to the end of the driveway and wait by th

Anna POV I walk over to the dresser and open the top drawer. Multiple pairs of sweatpants and T-shirts are folded neatly, and I reach for a pair of black sweats and a white T-shirt. I can tell these belong to Ethan from the size and the brand of the clothing. As pathetic as it is, I bring the fabric up to my face and inhale the familiar scent of Ethan. The smell of laundry detergent and his Polo cologne is a scent that I will always have etched in my brain. I undress and slip the fabric over my body and instantly feel better. Not too much better, but even a little is better than none. I walk slowly down the stairs and can smell sautéed vegetables and hear the familiar sizzle on the stove. When I walk into the kitchen, Ethan is stirring something in a bowl, and Phoebe is sitting on the counter next to him. As if he knew that I was near, his head snapped up, and he set the bowl down on the countertop."Anna, hey." He stutters out, smiling at me."Hey," I say quietly and try to return

Ethan's POV"I should probably go into the other room now." She says, leaning up and uncovering herself from the white comforter."Wait, don't go." "No, this was a bad idea. I should get back into the other room. Phoebe is probably—""Phoebe is fine. She knows where we are. Please, Anna," I beg, sounding like the pathetic fuck that I am."Eth...""Please, Anna. I need you right now. I just...I need you. "I admit to feeling completely fucking defeated.She sighs and moves back into the bed with me. I pull her closer to me by instinct, and she tenses under my touch. I try and ignore it, but it breaks my fucking heart."I know you don't trust me, Anna. I know you might not ever trust me again. But I promise that I will try every day to be the man you thought I was. I fucked up, and I'm sorry," I whisper into her back. She didn't reply, but I didn't expect her to. "Get some sleep. You need it," I told her. Although she never replies to me verbally, she does something better than what I

Anna POV"Pizza is fine with me if that's what you want, love," Eth tells her, earning a big smile from Phoebe.We walk to my car in silence for the most part as I mentally prepare myself for what will be the most awkward lunch date in history. "Can we get pepperoni pizza?" Phoebe whispers to me."No. Eth is a vegetarian, remember? Which means, what?" I ask her, trying to remind her once again that he does not eat meat."He doesn't like animals," Phoebe says simply.Eth chuckles at her reply, and I do the same. Phoebe has a way of making things a little less awkward. Thank God.“I love animals. That's why I don't eat them." He laughs, winking at me. I blush at his gesture, even though there was absolutely no romantic gesture behind it."I love animals, too. I want cheese pizza." Phoebe says simply."Baby, just because you eat meat doesn't mean you hate animals. We can get pepperoni pizza. I'll even try a slice." He tells her, knowing that Phoebe doesn't like plain cheese pizza."You
