Runaway Destiny (Completed!)

Chapter 6

Lacey and Ethan have been together for a month now and he often spends the night at her place. 

“Hey princess, do you mind if Lacey sleeps over tonight? I was going to head to her place but her sister and boyfriend are visiting and she wanted to give them some time alone.” I nodded and turned back to the TV I was watching. To be honest I wasn’t too fond of the idea as Lacey made it obvious to me that she didn’t like me and didn’t want to associate with me. 

Whenever she came by and Ethan went away, she’d give me this huge sigh and scoff at me even if I was just walking by. 

There were many times where she’d purposely pick to eat at a seafood restaurant when the three of us went out even though Ethan would remind her over and over again that I’m allergic to shellfish and that he’d take her to eat seafood another time. Recently they’ve been arguing a lot more than normal, I walked in one time after work when they were arguing and once Ethan saw me he just smiled, asked me how my day was, and left to take Lacey home. 

And now here we are with Lacey, Ethan and I all on the couch watching ‘500 days of Summer’ again,  a chick flick I know, but I really liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt, he was so dreamy and Ethan didn’t seem to mind that I watched it over and over again. 

“This movie is so boring, let's watch something else.” Lacey said taking the remote from the table and switching the movie. I was so shocked I couldn’t even say anything and just looked at her with my mouth opened. 

“Lacey, that's not nice, we were watching that.” Ethan sighed while looking at me

“I’m sorry princess, how about I go grab us some drinks?” I nodded and mouthed to him ‘it’s okay’ before he got up from the couch to get us something to drink. 

“You know it’d be nice if you left so we can spend some alone time, p-r-i-n-c-e-s-s.” 

“Lacey I don’t know why you hate me but you need to relax. I’m sure Ethan wouldn’t appreciate it the way you’re acting towards me.” I narrowed my eyes at her and sunk in my seat on the couch. 

“He’ll let me get away with it.” She smirked while putting some random scary movie on, she knows that I hate scary movies. 

As Ethan came back with three beers he first handed me one then Lacey before taking a seat with his own. I took two sips and excused myself as I didn’t want to watch the movie anymore. Ethan offered to change the movie but Lacey refused, I didn’t want them to fight over such trivial matters and just made up an excuse of how tired I am and wanted to call it a night. 

Few hours later I left my room for some water and heard moaning coming from Ethan’s room. 

“Yes baby, so deep f**k me!” I heard Lacey scream. She didn’t even try to hide her voice really as if she wanted me to hear it. 

I quickly returned to my room flushed as I know that Ethan and Lacey are having s*x just a few feet away and couldn’t help but feel a little hurt by it. Rachel was right, I did like Ethan and seeing him with Lacey always bothered me but if Ethan was happy then I’m fine with it, it’s not like we’ll ever have a chance together anyway. But hearing them having s*x is different. 

I couldn’t help but be jealous of Lacey having all of Ethan to herself, parts of him that I never knew about. 

After the first time Lacey stayed over I found her coming back more and more often than before and sleeping over. Every time she slept over I would hear them having s*x and it bothered me a lot. 

Every morning after they have s*x I would find Ethan in the kitchen already making breakfast for the both of us as Lacey was not a breakfast person and only had coffee. I couldn’t help but think what if I’m the one he embraces every night, how I would kill to be engulfed in his scent but sadly it was not me. 

“Princess you okay?” Ethan asked, putting his forehead on mine which made me quickly pull away. 

After overhearing Ethan and Lacey’s passionate sessions these few weeks I couldn’t help but feel some way when we made contact. I used to be okay with hugging Ethan all the time and wrestling around but recently I’ve been very aware of his body. 

Every time he moves I would notice myself staring at his beautiful muscles and masculine arms imagining how it’d feel being held in them. 

“Yeah, I’m okay. I’m actually thinking of moving out, that way you and Lacey can have a bit more privacy. I already found a place with a co-worker of mine as her roommate just moved out.” 

“Wait, so suddenly?” He put his coffee cup down and sat in front of me with a serious look. He’s probably only protective about me moving out because he treats me like his little sister. 

“Yeah, you do know Lacey isn’t a huge fan of me right?” I pointed at the direction of his room. 

“Yeah, she keeps saying how we’re too close and all but I told her you’re like my sister. I don’t know why she’s like this honestly, princess. But are you sure? About moving out?” I nodded. I didn’t want to hear them having s*x anymore as it’s driving me insane. It made me want Ethan in ways I never did before and I didn’t like that. I liked it when we were cool with one another and comfortable but at the moment, every time I see him I can only think about the moans and grunts that came from his room at night when Lacey spent the night here. 

“Yeah, for sure. I’ll move out by tomorrow. Thanks for breakfast.” I placed my dishes in the sink and went to my room to begin packing. Honestly after 4 months of being in Chicago I didn’t accumulate much, still just my suitcase with clothes and maybe a box of personal items that’s it. 

Nothing much in this apartment that I’ll miss, aside from Ethan but he’s not mine to begin with. 

He was Lacey’s.
