For Better Or For Worse (rewrite/ Continuation)

Chapter 32

The next morning,

Gail went to work and said she'd spend the night at Romeo's to catch up and to tell him about Ethan too

Kaylee and Elijah were out of the apartment too to meet the woman who raised their son they wanted to meet her and she wanted to meet them too

Michael was out of the apartment too, off to his charity project/building, the outside was pretty much done but the construction people needed him to work out the inside of the building, what area would be what and where

Leaving Tracee at the penthouse with Ethan who was painting again, hoping to finish first basic layer of paint today

"I'm sorry" Tracee mentioned leaning against the door frame while Ethan was busy painting the ceiling

"Sorry for what?" Ethan asked her while he continued painting

"For what I said yesterday, I don't hate you, I barely know you" Tracee mentioned rubbing her baby bump "I.. just my emotions are all over the place these days and you- this whole thing about having an another sibling it's... it just came out of the nowhere, I'm not mad at anyone...Maybe my parents, not for having another child they didn't tell me about, no it's the fact they've been hypocrite as fu- very hypocrite since they've been, specially my dad been like 'you just met the guy like six months ago are you sure he's your boyfriend? Aren't you too young to move in together' and shit like that while they had sex on their very first date! Hypocrites I'm telling you they're hypocrites for saying that to me while they fucking had a child nine months after their first date" She ranted getting all worked up again

"Um Tracee, is it ok if I call you Tracee?" Ethan asked, just to be sure

"Sure" Tracee answered shrugging her shoulders

"You know I feel your feelings towards your parents, it's how I feel about mines, well the ones who raised me, they've lied to me my entire life too, I wanted siblings and they told me they couldn't have more children, while they both were infertile to begin with, Mrs Livingstone told me yesterday, weird calling her that since it's always been mom" Ethan mentioned and shook his head

"Yeah" Tracee sighed "So uh you've always painted?" She asked wanting to get to know him

"No" Ethan shook his head "I tried modelling but that didn't work out I was either too short or too tall, too fat and too skinny for plus size fashion, then I tried real estate but but I liked drawing and designing the rooms inside the house better than actually selling the places so I started my own bussines, struggled the first few years but I can't complain right now, I can treat myself to a big Mac once a week" he told her

"Did you apply to my company? I hire the non 'perfect' models because I make fashion for the everyday person not the size zero nobody outside the catwalks fits" Tracee asked

"No, no offense but Tracee's Fashion is like a big name in the fashion world and other big brands already declined me so I gave up on a career in fashion" Ethan answered "Besides I like drawing and designing rooms better, or in this case only painting the room since you guys made such an amazing design already" He added

"Well Michael did the drawing tho, I can only draw fashion designs but the color scheme and ideas are mines" Tracee mentioned

"I like the idea of mint green walls, grey carpet and the stars on the ceiling" Ethan mentioned while he continued painting the ceiling with the basic layer of paint

"It's kinda of neutral colors because we don't wanna know if we're having a boy or a girl and mint green and grey are neutral colors" Tracee explained
