His Drama Queen novel Chapter 32

I stared at my final result and it did look decent enough. It did not look exactly like the picture in the cookbook- well it did not look anything like the picture in the cookbook. I just hope it taste better than it looks.

I grabbed a spoon to taste my masterpiece when the front door opened. Voices filled the mansion. The voice of Ethan and the voice of a woman?

I washed my hands and dried it on the table clothe before making my way to the living room. When I entered the living room, Ethan was busy laughing and talking with a beautiful red haired woman.

He did not even acknowledge me !

I cleared my throat and that's when they both turned around to look at me. Ethan was beaming, like a little boy who just got his favorite candy.

"Hey, Nicole." He greeted, his smile never leaving his face. Red flag one, he did not call me princess.

"I did not know we had a guest today." I did not want to sound bitchy, but I prepared dinner for two.

"Oh yes. I forgot to tell you yesterday." He chuckled and shook his head.

I raised my eyebrows up at him. "Oh, yeah like how you forgot our dinner date."

Ethan cleared his throat. "Not now, Nicole." Red flag two, he did not call me princess again !

The red haired woman looked uncomfortably between the both of us. "Aren't you going to introduce me to her, darling?" Red flag three, she called him darling ! I don't even call him darling! Who the hell is she?

Now that I looked better at her. She seemed quite familiar. The sharp face features and skeletal body. She looked just like...

"Nicole, I want to introduce you to Veronika. Veronika this is Nicole."

Nicole Vargas

"Is it safe to say that we can order takeout?" Ethan asked, as he dropped his fork down on his plate. He looked up at me and gave me an apologetic smile. "I really appreciate your effort princess. I really do, but this is...it's just not edible."

I stayed silent as I stared down at my food. The embarrassment was real. First of all, the food was a disaster. It was horrible. Too much salt, butter. Just too much of everything. Second of all, Veronika bitch Morozov joined us for dinner. My first time and last time ever cooking and Ethan's perfect ex-girlfriend had to be here and eat my food. Third of all, Ethan just can't seem to get the hint that I want her out of this house.

I was pissed and I had all the right to dump this shit food on his head, but instead I just nodded my head at him. "Yeah, takeout sounds good."

"Great!" Veronika's shrill voice shouted as she pushed her plate away. "Honey, don't worry. I got you, the first time I ever cooked I burned the steak. This is totally natural for a first timer." She flashed me one of her million dollar smiles that I only saw in magazines.

I clenched my teeth, trying to stay the kind and happy housewife. I forced a smile and looked up at her. "Yeah, so uhm Veronika, where are you going to stay the night?"

She looked surprised at the both of us. "Is that even a question?" She asked, laughing as she rolled her eyes at me. "I will stay here of course. I told Ethan about it."

"Forgot to mention that too." Ethan said, looking guilty at me. "I'm sorry, Princess. The guest room is clean, so don't worry about that."

"My girlfriend, soon-to-be fiancee." He answered in a matter of fact tone.

"Keep doing -excuse my language- shit like this and I will soon be your ex-girlfriend."

"That will never happen."

"Don't think so highly of yourself, Gray!" I yelled angrily. "I'm so fucking pissed right now, you have no idea!"

"I already told you how sorry I am." He cried out, placing the food on the bed. "I brought you food, is this going to help you calm down?"

"Calm down?!" I seethed, my eyes basically spitting fire at him. "How would you feel If I brought my ex-boyfriend home? How would you feel? Tell me!"

"I would punch him."

"I would do the same thing with Veronika, but I am not the violent type. But damn it if I cannot stand the situation anymore...," I took a deep breath and continued, "do you have any idea how easy it was for me to break her ribs?"

"I'm glad you did not do that."

"You should be! Ethan, I am your girlfriend. Girlfriend! What you did today was not acceptable!"
