The Next Step After We Met.

Once I opened my eyes, I saw that I was no longer in the living room. Neither was I in Greyson's room.

Guest room really!? I thought to myself.

I sighed and got up from the bed, went to the bathroom took a short shower. After a warm shower I made my way into the kitchen, started breakfast. On my way down here I hadn't seen nor heard him anywhere. I figure he must of still be sleeping.

As I was finishing up breakfast, I heard a laugh coming from down the hall. I look out the kitchen door frame.

"Don't worry.. yeah... of shut up... I don't know if it worked... or.." as he made eye contact with me, he stop talking. " I'll call you back.. yeah.... me too"

I turned around, that's when I noticed I fucked up, my eyes went wide as I see smoke.

"What happened?" I heard behind me.

"What does it look that happened!?" I irritatedly said, as I turned off the stove... this is why I don't cook for other people. I always end up burning it...

"Someone's creaking..." He murmur as he helped me scrape the burnt beacon off.

" I heard you.." I said while leaving the kitchen.

I hear footsteps behind. " don't even try Greyson..."

" wow.., hold up." He took a hold of my wrist.

" let go."

" No. What did I do this time.?" He asked as he tucks my hair behind my ear.

"Nothing! That's the point!" Greyson gave me a confused look. I try to turn around but he holds me in place.

" explain. I swear sometimes I don't get you." Greyson said.

" forget it." I sigh. " Can I go back to the guest room?" I rise my voice a bit as I say the last two words.

"No. Don't leave me confused. Tell me what I did to make you upset."

" You left me confused." I harshly say.

"Huh?" He lets go of my hand.

" why the hell did you bring me here? We had a dinner then movie... no kisses between nor did you touch me... no sex ! I'm still confused! Then I wake up in your guest room. Why am i here?" I asked, you could notice in my tone that I was still upset. His reaction to what I had just said made it irritating being next to him.

He chuckled. " oh screw you!" I shouted and started to walk towards my room. I took a deep breath as I entered.

As I felt myself being spun around and pin against the wall with both my hands up against it as well, I meet with those dreaming eyes. But I'm upset, so I try to hide the fact that his eyes make my knees go weak.

" Greyson let go." I acted rough.

" I can't... you look so hot when you're mad.." He whispered into my ear.

I bit my bottom lip as my eyes close for a brift second.

" soo you're upset with me cause we didn't sleep together?" I turned my face avoiding his eyes, so I wouldn't forgive him that easy. " Estella, I'm sorry... if it makes you feel better I'll tell you why I didn't do it."

He sighed as he noticed I was giving him the silent treatment, that's when he did what he does best.

He made his lips and mine become one. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck as he lets my hands unpin from the wall as his hands went down to my hips. He deepened the kiss as we locked lips we started walking towards the bed. I straddle him once he sat on the bed. His hands danced all over my body.

He pulled back. " can I explain now? Or later?" He said still having his dancing hands over my body.

"Now..." I said, giving him a peck on the lips.

He started holding me by my hips. " I was trying to convince you into staying here... take things slow maybe.. be friends. And if time wants it be more. So I decided to remake our first date. The first night you spent at my house... we had a dinner movie date. And that night we didn't kiss or slept in the same bed. So that's why I brought you to the guest room." He scratched the back of his head.

"You wanted to remake our first pj party... but you missed some parts.. one, Eric had dinner with us. Two, if Eric wasn't there we would have totally done something other then sleep in different rooms...." I said playing with a strap of my hair.

He laughed "That and I didn't make a move yesterday cause I didn't want to be left with a boner..."

I laughed confused. " what are you talking about?"

" If I'm not mistaking, you're supposed to be on your days, which would explain the out burst from earlier."

" well you aren't mistaken...it came this morning. And sorry about earlier, and about your manhood." I apologize as I hugged him and moved more forward against him, which cause him to groan.

"Hahahahaha" I laughed as he poke my sides, he fell back laughing.

GREYSON

"There was no way of bringing her back, not at least now." I said while staring into the living room mirror.

"Hey, at least you tried." my brother said as I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah! but it wasn't enough!" I shouted.

"Don't start this bullshit with me."

I just wanted to break something. I knew that I should had tried a little harder. But no,instead I let her get on that stupid plane. Again

"listen to me. Are you really going to do this bullshit again? She left two days ago!." I heard Eric said as I walked into the kitchen. "Dude you knew it could have gone the right way or the wrong way. so why are you stressing!?"

"I'm like this cause I could have had the perfect family." I let out a sigh.

"And you still can!" My brother said from behind. "maybe not with Estella, But with someone else."

"that's the point. I don't really want someone else." I exclaimed " at least not now." I added.

"You need to take your time. Again. Your lover will come around."

ERIC

"Soo, he's that sad again?" my wife asked.

I nodded.

"Well I think we should do something to cheer him up." Amy said with a smirk.

"Don't forget we have a child now." I reminded her.

"But I didn't mean us."

"okay??... so?"

"I have a little surprise for your bro."

"which is?"

"Lets say you'll have to wait,until tomorrow."She said with that same smirk.

"Why do I get the feeling it's gonna go bad?"

"get that feeling out of your system."

"Does it have to do with Jazmin?"I asked.

"No. And that all I'll say." she said as we heard our baby boy cry.

I made my way to his room and picked him up. "It's too late at night to be up." I told little Alex. I took him to my room and laid with him and his mother.

As I walked down stairs,the next morning. I heard my girl's laugh and someone else. But I knew that laugh too. what was going on?.

I walked towards the living room and confirming that I was right. Sitting there was my wife and her best friend. Yep the same one who had left three days ago.

So,this was Amy's surprise. She knew that Estella wasn't really leaving.

"hey E." Estella said while hold my child.

"Wow. So you weren't leaving?" I asked.

She chuckled. "No silly, went back for somethings and business with Nathan."

"Well,welcome back. Amy did you fix the guest room?"I asked.

"no,no... I won't be staying here." She said.

"With my brother?" I asked.

"not quite. " She said.

"I don't know what to say to that."

"nothing. Just don't say a thing to Greyson." Amy said.

"great, won't say a word, but I will say. Estella that was a really shitting move from your part." I told her, not liking the idea, that my brother was down hill because he thought she didn't make a big effort to win her back.

ESTELLA

I was standing at the door. I had taken an Uber to his house. Not sure why stop here first,but I simply did. I took a breathe and grabbed the door handle. Yes. It was opened. As I walked in I left my bags on the ground and took my shoes off,so they wouldn't squeak. I walked by the living room,by the kitchen,but no sign of him. I went up the stairs,softly knocked on his bedroom door. No responds. I walked in slowly, sat on his bed once I heard the water being on. He was taking a shower. I laid back on the bed,but quickly back up. I had taken off my jacket and got comfortable again.

As I sat on the bed I started wondering, maybe I should make him something to eat, without buring it this time, Instead of sitting here, waiting for him to finish taking a shower.

I quickly got up and jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen. I looked around to see what he had laying around, I started to think what I could cook for him, but it had to be something quick. So I decided that pizza was the best and fastest choice.

As I let the over heat I started making the salsa. Once I finished with it I spread the dough out and let the salsa onto the dough. I walked to the fridge ,where I looked for cheese, lucky me there was cheese. I didn't see any pineapple so I guess it's only a cheese pizza. I entered it into the oven and waited.

As I waited I grabbed two bottles of orange juice from the fridge and set them onto the bar counter. After taking the pizza out and cutting it, I felt chilly. That's when I noticed I had forgotten something.

I felt something that left fall onto my shoulders. I quickly turn around and bumped myself into his chest, where he practically stabbed me with his lips. Those big ,soft lips of his. Once we calm ourselves we pulled back.

"Are you still cold?" He asked as he help me zip up my jacket that I had left on top of his bed. Which I'm guessing gave the surprise away.

"Nope, I'm warm now."I said while looking into his eyes.

"It smells delicious." Greyson said taking a pizza slice and started eating.

"So I guess I've convinced you to stay?" He asked. Already knowing the answer. I gave him a peck on his left cheek, Indicating him, he was correct.

"Did you really had to make me go through shit those past 2 and half days!?" He said, not really looking for a response.

All I had to say to him was " I love you, I put us through shit these past months, but if you want me. I have to know you won't regret what's coming for us in the future. We'll be side by side. Forever."

"We'll get through this. Baby or no baby. I want you to know you're my everything thing. You always will be. No other girl can compete with you. I want to press restart on what we had...." He spoke.

"In order to do that, you have to remarry me Greyson Aveyard." I added.

"Estella Martinez. Are you proposing to me, your ex husband?" He said with a smile from ear to ear. I nodded looking him straight in his eyes. " Yes, yes I'll remarry you." He answered.

And with that being said we kissed and kissed the rest of the day.
