Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Ethan's POV

I was upstairs in my bedroom searching for my car keys when I heard her voice from downstairs calling out to me. What the fuck was she doing here already?

I walked out of the room and went down the stairs. She was standing at the bottom, all excited with another woman beside her. She informed me that she'd caught an early flight and introduced the woman beside her as Dianna Promme, a wedding planner. What the hell was wrong with this woman? 

She moved in for a hug but I pushed her away gently. I tried to explain that I needed to talk to her but she began talking to Dianna Promme. I was getting impatient. 

She squealed at the pictures of a wedding magazine.

I noticed Emma in the corner. I went over to her and instructed her to go to the guest room while I handled Sharon. Things had the potential to get ugly and I didn't want Emma getting caught in the middle of it. She complied and I sat next to Sharon, watching the woman who betrayed me, the woman I had proposed to, the woman I was supposed to get married to. I had to deal with her drastically but privately. 

I had no idea who Dianna Promme was, so I didn't want to make a scene in front of her while she was in my house. I had to be professional. I tossed my anger aside, for now, and pretended I was into the wedding planning.

Emma approached me and handed me my coffee. I so needed this coffee right about now. My tongue brushed on something hard.

What the hell! Why is there a ring... Wait a minute... Did she seriously do what I think she did?

I looked down the entrance to the guest rooms and saw her bright brown eyes peering at me. I got up and followed her, forgetting about Sharon who was so enthralled in the wedding planning she didn't even notice me get up. 

Emma locked herself in the room while I pounded on the door, yelling for her to let me in, not caring who heard me. She told me to go to hell. 

I was furious. Why she just couldn't trust me? 

She screamed again for me to "go away".
