Authors Note: I have decided that I will decide the outcome of this story. I had an idea in mind already and no one seems to want it to go that way. And there is not many Gwen fics out there. Sorry if that disappoints you.
Story: That's the way it is
Author: Cry Me A River
Chapter 5
And so they meet....
When I came down to breakfast the next morning, I was still sleepy. But I wanted to have a little fun at my parents expense. They were not going to be happy that I planned to stay in harmony permanently. I still resented both of them for sending me away to boarding school. If I were Ethan, I would be welcomed in the Crane mansion. But what kills me is that even after Ethan's paternity came out, He was still livinf in the Crane mansion. but the one good thing about it is all is that I am the first born heir to the Crane fortune. knowing Julian, though he would choose little Ethan over me.
With a sigh, I grabbed some toast and glass of orange juice. But I nearly strangled when I saw a blonde coming into the room, looking half asleep. It was Gwen, my sweet Gwen. Why was she in the Crane mansion and how had it corrupted her? She hadn't noticed me yet.She obviously had a routine of heading straight to the coffee pot without looking or maybe without caring who else was in the room.
I was about to speak her beautiful name when Rebecca came into the room. What an evil personshe was. Fox had long ago nicknamed her dragon lady. Just as I thought this she saw me, and smiled. She seemed like once again, she was up to something.
"Gwen, Sweetie, Where is Ethan?"
"Why would my Gwen care where Ethan was. Wasn't he in love with step mommy? And she in love with him? Then realization hit me and I thought I was going to be sick. She was the girl that Ethan married! If only I would have read the paper. Then maybe I could have stopped her from making the worse mistake of her life.
"Still asleep I assume." Gwen said bitterly. She had only been married one week and she already sounded sorry.
Surely she knew that Ethan loved Theresa more than her. I am almost certain that she did. But maybe this was for revenge. I know how Gwen loved to get her revenge.
I was upset. The only bright spot in my life was now married, and unavailable to me. Yep, I was definitly going to be sick. And this just fueled my hatred for Ethan even more. Was it not bad enough that he had gotten all of mothers love? Did he also have to take the only one I really ever cared about? And what about Theresa? She was a beautiful woman, sweet and innocent. She loved Ethan with all her heart, and although Ethan may love her just as much, he had married another woman.
What was so damn special about him anyway? Sure he had always been considered handsome. But look at me, I am gorgeous and I know it. But look at what he was doing to both women? Gwen was married to someone who didn't love her and Theresa was living without the one she loved.
Gwen finally turned around and saw me. Her mouth formed a little O of shock. I chuckled, inspite of myself. Her eyes were unreadable as she sat down, not quite looking me in the eyes. She fidgeted with her coffee cup, looking as if she had a lot to say but wasn't sure how to say it.
Dragon Lady was looking as pleased as a possum eating saw briar. I hated her so much and right now I hated her even more at the moment. She was enjoying the awkward moment between two former lovers.
"Fox,What are you doing here?" She asked finally.
"I live here. What are you doing her ?" I said. She could just drop that little innocent act. She had to knew I was Julian's son. I know she did. Her mother had been such "good" friends with Ivy and Julian. such a good friend, in fact that she was sleeping with my father.
"I live here too." she said softly. "I'm married to...to Ethan. I..I had no clue he was...that you are his brother."
I decided not to not to justify that with an answer. Instead I pushed the juice and toast away from me and stood up. "Well, I'll be seeing you around then." I smirked. "I need to talk to step mommy. and as for you, dragon lady, I hope I never see you around."
Rebecca gasped, putting her hand to her chest. Oh I am so sure she was really shocked. But might as well drive the nail all the way through the wall, so to speak. "What I want to know is exactly why you are here?" I asked, with a smile. "You are nothing but a common mistress for Julian. One of many, in fact. What a fool you are for divorcing your husband. Do you actually think my father would marry you?"
Rebecca glared at me, as did Gwen. But I didn't care. How dare Gwen pretend that she didn't know who my family was? I knew that the remark about step mommy had reaally hurt her. But shehad hurt me too. EWhen she dumped me, and even more so now that she was married to my wrorst enemy.
I don't think that this day can get worse, than it already is. But I am not really in the mood to harasse my parents just yet, so I do seek out Theresa. She seems to be very understanding. and scheming. Now that may come in handy for me later.
Whistling I climb back up the stairs. I wonder where she is and if she is thinking of him. And more importantly where is the snake named Ethan? Within a matter of minutes I am standing before step mommy's door, ready to knock. This could be fun!
