Chapter 53 ....

Chapter 53 ....
Selene's pov.

The warmth of the sun seeped into my room and showered on my face.

Ethan's hand was still wrapped around my waist, he slept here all night and I felt safe tucked up beside him.

Last night was a big turn around for us, I don't know if what I feel for him is truly love

All I know is that it's real.

His hands went up into my top and squeezed my boobs, the nipples became taut at his touch.

"Good morning." He mumbled against my ear.

I took a short breath.

"Good morning to you too."

We both burst out chuckles.

He yawned, "I have to go to my room, it's already morning."

"No, don't go stay with me a little more." I whined.

He kissed my neck, hit peppery kisses.

"As much as I would love to. I can't risk either of our parents catching me here tangled in your sheets."

I grumbled in protest, reluctant to let go of his hand.

He was right though.

I used the sheet to cover my chest.

"I'll love it if you can just stay some more."

He leaned on the bed and kissed me sweetly.

"Me too, we still have two more nights."

He kissed me again and hurried outside.

I rested on my back, savoring the feeling of his lips on mine, if we could make love all day long.

Without interruptions or fear of being barged in on.

The day was just starting, I am sure that there are lots of fun things we could do in the house or on the beach.

I quickly took my shower and wore a short flower print gown.

It was simple, yet elegant.

Unlike yesterday, I packed my hair in a ponytail, that way I'd be able to live freely.

My stomach made a rumbling sound as I stared at myself in the mirror.

Whoah, I am so hungry, I went downstairs to check if Ethan and our parents are already in the kitchen.

We didn't have time to sort through the groceries last night.

As I appeared in the living room, I saw Ethan wrapped in a tight hug with a girl.

I almost wanted to yank her away from him, but I held myself.

I stood like a statue watching them hug and greet each other.

"My goodness Mallory, you've grown so big." Ethan exclaimed pulling her in for another hug.

"I can say the same about you, Mr handsome." Mallory pinched his cheek playfully.

Seeing her do that made my face turn purple.

"Ahem." I interrupted them with a faint cough, my arms crossed on my chest.

I would like to know what the hell is going on and who the fuck she is.

Now that she was facing me, I couldn't help but feel a huge prick of jealousy in my heart.

She's the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, her dark hair was thick and long and she had a pretty oval face that matched her pointed nose.

When she laughed it sounded so melodious and graceful, even her body structure was a perfect ten.

Clad in a short crotchet white gown, her figure was giving, so was her height.

She could pass for a model.

I stared at her, taking in her beauty.

How did Ethan know this goddess?

"Hi," she extended her hand for a handshake.

I looked at it, contemplating if I should take it or not, she has slender fingers and well manicured nails.

Her hands look like they've never done a single chore in her entire life.

I shook her hand, it was incredibly soft.

"Hi, I am Selene."

"Mallory." She flashed a smile.

"It's been so long since I've seen Ethan, I didn't know he has a girlfriend now, you are so pretty."

Ethan quickly corrected her impression.

"She isn't my girlfriend, Selene is my step sister. Her mom is Victoria. She and my dad got married not too long ago."

Ethan calling me his step sister felt kind of cringe, but I forced a smile on my face.

"Ohhh, my mom mentioned it to me one time, I didn't know she had a daughter."

Alfred and mom cake out of the kitchen.

Mallory went over to hug them. I thought mom would be a bit hostile to her, but she was very accommodating and even allowed Mallory to kiss her cheeks.

Mom invited Mallory to join for breakfast, which she gladly obliged.

I can't believe she's joining us, who the hell is she and Ethan is just paying her so much attention.

"How long has it been since the last time we spoke?"

Ethan sat beside Mallory at the table.

"Four years, you were so angry that my mom and I moved that you refused to keep in touch."

Ethan touched his chest.

"I'm sorry about that, I was a child.”

Alfred was all smiles due to Mallory's presence.

"Did you know that Ethan cried the entire night when Mallory's parents moved?" Alfred divulged

"Dad, come on. No need to bring that up."

I toyed with my food, I was no longer hungry, I wanted to hear all about Mallory and her relationship with Ethan.

Alfred was willing to tell the story.

"Mallory was Ethan's first love, he followed her around like a puppy. They were inseparable. They did literally everything together, and called each other best friends. I knew it was love. I mean look at the way they are staring at each other now."

Alfred was right, I have become invisible since Mallory arrived. It felt so strange that I didn't know this part of Ethan.

That there was a girl long before Becca Flynn and she was so gorgeous.

"So Mallory, why are you here? You also came for a vacation?" I asked her with an icy voice.

"Kind of, my mom and dad are in the final stage of their divorce. I needed a break. This was the place Ethan and I hung out many times, so I came here, running into him was a coincidence, I'm glad I did.”

Ethan's hand covered Mallory's and gave it a comforting squeeze.

I just wanted to scream my lungs out.
