Next Steps After I Met You

I got everything a man can ever ask for; I got my wife, my dream job, my fans, and my best friend who happens to be my brother,living right next door. Estella _aka my lovely wife_and I have been friends for about 7 years and been married for 4 months now, we didn't have a honeymoon because we thought we could have one in the near future, but mostly because Estella didn't want to waste money at the time, because of all the money we had wasted on the wedding and after party. My brother and I are have a very huge fan base, because of our modeling career and clothing line. "Babe"said my lovely wife "Yes Estella"I replied and hugged her from behind. "Do you think it's time??" She said turning around and facing me. "What? What do you mean?"I replied confused. "A baby. A bigger family. "I notice she was nervous but I was actually quite happy to hear this cause I didn't want to pressure her into having a baby until she was ready. "I thought you'd never ask, of course I want to create life with you"she smiled wide at my answer. I guess that was the only thing I was missing but that's about to change.

Back To Step One

Last night, I had gotten a text from Nathan and Amy, both of them Asking me how it went. I replied to Nathan with a few emojis. I was too lazy to write. Plus I'll tell them when I see them.

Also yesterday, Greyson cooked, and I'm not sure if it was because it's been a while since I ate anything made by him or what, but it was too good to be true. One of his best dishes.

Right now,Him and I are waiting for our breakfast. I had butterflies once again. It felt like one of our first dates. We were such good friends, we knew everything about one another. But when we started dating our hang outs would get weird. But feel so good. And that's how I was feeling right now.

"Here's y'all order..." The Waitress said while placing our pancakes in front of us.

"thank you" I said and Greyson nodded towards her.

"Soo.. how's the job going?" He asked.

"Funny story."I said and he stopped eating his breakfast."Yeah.. I got fired."

"Wait.. what? How?" He asked.

"My boss was hell of annoying.. and I guess I was annoying to them." I said while cutting my pancakes.

"Them?"

"Yeah, My boss and her husband."

"Oh. wow. You were flirting with your boss's man?"

"What ! no... Never..." I said.

He laughed and said." if you say so."

"My boss,always had something to make me do...even when I had already gotten changed to leave. She was like way too bossy, to me more than others."

"Damn... How long since you got fired?"He asked and finished his plate.

"Mmmm... about the same time I.....had the miscarriage."

"Damn... for a while.... So Um.. you're not looking for a job? "

"not really. I mean. I have my money. but not with my dream job."

"Acting or veterinarian? " he asked.

"Acting is my dream job,yes but I can't fine a job that requires the medical help for animals. sooo I'm stuck working with Nathan. At the mechanic. It used to be his dad's shop but now it's all his." I explained.

"Nathan seem to be a really good.... friend." He said and I nodded."I'm happy to know that it was him who took good care of you."

"Yeah..." I said.

"Even tho I've would have like to be the one there for you..."he continued.

I started feeling uncomfortable, so I didn't reply.

After breakfast, he drove back to Eric's house. When we got there Amy immediately dragged me to her room, to help her pick out a dress for her date. I already knew that she didn't need help with getting ready. For one she hates the way I dress and two she just wants something juicy details about last night.

As I sat down on her bed I rolled my eyes at her, while she lays out 3 outfits onto her bed.

"Soo. Which one?" She asked, as she sat down next to me.

"Yes. Yes I did tell him I lost his child." I said so we could cut to the chase.

" what did he say? Was he mad? Did he hurt you in anyway after you said-.." I cut her off.

"What!? Why would he hurt me?"I asked

"I wasn't referring to physically hurt you.." she said.

"You said in '-anyway' soooo yeah physical counts."

"Okay, continue..."

I nodded and sat facing her outfits. "The purple looks good. And Greyson took it better than I thought he would. I mean he speaks to me which I thought would never happen if I told him the truth." I saw how my friend put back the other two outfits away and left the black one instead of the purple I had just said, I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"So is there gonna be a newly old couple in town?" Amy asked.

" I don't think so. I've made a new life back at home, I can't let Nathan work on his own either. Soo to answer your question, no me and Greyson are in the pass. If he wants to be friends great. But I can't come back here to try to remake my life with someone who clearly needs to clear things up with a girl..."

" you mean Jazmin? You're not actually leaving because of her are you!? I mean, I know Greyson doesn't want anything with her, maybe they hooked up once or twice, but Grey still lives you and only you."

"Amy for real. I can't, and I'm not making this decision for me, it's also for him."

"No you're making a mistake not a decision, your making the same one you did last time you left." She said looking me straight in my eyes. "You love him and you know you're making a huge mistake if you're thinking of leaving the love of your life. Before I go and get ready I need a favor from you." I looked up from the floor to look at her. " could you take care of my baby boy, while E and I go out?"

"What already? You baby is only a few days old and I don't..."

"Estella you got this. I trust you." She said and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I sighed and went to the guess room.

I was sitting on the rocking chair in Alexander's room. As I had him in my arms. Amy had left with Eric approximately 30 minutes ago.

I had just put Alex to sleep, I gently got up from the chair and laid Mini Ethan on his crib. I stayed there admiring him. He was Soo similar to Eric when he was a baby. But when he opens his eyes, you can see the sky in his eyes, he had those light blue eyes just like my best friend. I smiled to myself and took a step back. As I decide to make myself some food I heard the front door open. I obviously felt scared as to who the hell opened the door, so I grabbed a knife, just as I'm about to turn around I heard him.

"What are you doing?" Greyson said.

"Asshole you scared me!"

He began to laugh as he saw how I dropped the knife. I rolled my eyes and stared at him, once he finished laughing he got closer and hugged me. Which caught me off Guard. But then I hugged back.

Once we pulled back. " Where's Nathan?" He asked.

" um Exploring LA. But he doesn't stay here, he decide to go to a hotel..." I looked at him for second and continue to make a sandwich, which I also made one for Greyson. " why are you here?" I said and notice I sounded harsh. " sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad or mean way.."

" don't worry, Amy said you needed help with Alex." He said as he took a bite of his sandwich.

" I never said I needed help.."

" yeah, that you didn't feel capable enough to take care of him, that's why I'm here. Plus I think it would be of good practice if we're here together."

"Good practice?" I said confused.

" yep for our next step in life." I simply stared at him and let him finished. "Ya,finally being parents."

"I don't want to confuse you...but I'm not staying" I told him.

"Why?...wait you know what. Don't answer that. Give me two days to convince you or until you have to leave." Greyson took my hand and kissed it. "Please?"

" I've made up my mind."

"Come on, let me convince you.."

"You won't be able."

" We're not doing this again" His face went serious for one second before he continue to say. "Plus, I know of a few ways I can convince you.." I saw that smirk on his face, which only meant one thing.

" My god! Grey, we're taking care of Alex, we can't be doing that, you nasty." I said and hit him gently on his arm. Muscular arms must I add..

"What are you saying?" He asked

"Don't play dumb with me! We're not going to have.."

"A date" he interrupted me.

"Tshi... puff, yeah. We can't have a... date cause we're taking care of Alexander..." I said and swallowed nervously.

" what were you actually thinking I was gonna say?" He asked as he chuckled.

Obviously by now my face is red. " nothing, I thought you were going to say date... soo we were on the same page...." I try to brush out the thought of sleeping with him off my head.

"Oh shut up, you totally want me." He said and took a step closer, his lips were just an inch away.

Yes. I thought "What no..." I said with a whisper,as I was going to continue talking, my best friend interrupted me.

"We're back.... where's my baby boy.?"

I pulled away from Greyson and turned around to hug Amy, which had the perfect timing.... I sighed. " he's sleeping upstairs, just like the baby he is." I said smiling.

As I see her leaving up the stairs I turn to face Eric. " why did you guys come back early?"

" Amy couldn't stand being far from our baby. " he said. " one question." He was looking between Greyson and I, I nodded waiting for his question. "Were you about to have sex in my house?"

Greyson and I stared at each other before answering "Yes!" We said at the same time and then laughed at the sudden change of expression on Eric's face.

"Eric, we're kidding. We were just talking." I said before Eric could get the chance to freak out.

"Really? Cause it seem to me y'all were about to kiss and forget about my child..."

"Never" Greyson and I both said and smiled to each other.

"gosh, and I thought I was Greyson's twin." He said referring to the in sync talk between Greyson and I.

Eric left after a couple minutes talking with his brother, I was now standing at the front door with Greyson.

"Well, Estella..." He said.

"Greyson..." I said

"You're coming home with me tomorrow..." he quickly said and gave me a kiss on my cheek. When I was about to say no, he cut me off. " I'll be here in the afternoon, take care." And left me standing there with a goofy smile.
