My Neighbor? || LAY

Part 48

Lay's POV

I open my eyes to the evening light glowing in our room.

I look around the room, almost forgetting where I was. I rub my eyes and look around again.

I look down and see a hair sticking out of the covers.

"I don't have long hair." I chuckle.

I hold up the covers and see Gracie clung to my chest and sleeping peacefully.

"Princess." I kiss Gracie's cheeks. "Can you breath under there?"

"Mhmm, Yixing, you're awake?" Gracie opens one eye and then the other. "Yixing..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I apologize while pouting.

Gracie giggles. "No, no, my angel," She cups my face and gives me a sweet kiss on the corner of my mouth. "You didn't wake me."

I sit up, making Gracie sit up fully. "You missed." I point to my lips.

Gracie giggles and pecks my lips. "Good?"

"Well, if we're talking about good...." I purse my lips.

Gracie laughs and shakes her head. "You had enough."

I lick my lips and nod. "Oh, ok." I wink.

She scoffs. "Geez."

Her lazy smile, messy hair, and soft eyes makes my heart jump bridges.
"Did you...did you....like..."

"Awhhh, angel, you're so cute when you're shy." She kisses my nose.

"What happened just a few moments ago...was it-"

"I liked it," Gracie smirks and hovers over me. "I never thought you had that side of you, well, in you, hehe."

My breathing starts to go uneven.

"M-Me...? That si-side." I rub the back of my neck. "I-I'm glad you liked it."

"That was- my first time, you know." She says.

I raise my eyebrows and immediately sit up.

"Gracie, wh-why didn't you tell me that?" I take her hands. "You really should tell me this stuff."

Gracie shrugs. "I didn't think it was necessary..."

"You could've gotten hurt. I could've hurt you. Wow..." I run my hands through my hair.

"Wait, this isn't your first time for you." She asks.

I stop.

"Umm, that was my first." I say under my breath and cough.

"Hmm?"

I cough again and kick the covers away.

"Look, the sun's almost setting, we should go swimming for a bit."

Gracie smiles. "Yes, now let's go for an evening swim!"

I smile and nod. "Yeah."

Gracie runs into the closet to get changed.

I sigh. "Phew."

"Wo-Wow..." I stare at Gracie as she walks out in her swim suit. "How am I so lucky?"

Gracie blushes and awkwardly covers herself with her arms.

"Lay, don't do that, it's embarrassing." She smiles shyly. "You're turn."

"Psh," I grab her arms and pull her into a hug. "You look so beautiful."

"Hm, thank you." She hugs back.

"And, I already seen you na-"

Gracie gasps and smacks my shoulder. "NO! Oh my gosh, Lay, please. Go, go get ready. I'll meet you outside."

I nod. "Okkk."

Gracie's POV

I run outside and immediately run into the clear water.

"Aigoo, this is so relaxing." I breath and sit in shallow water.

"INCOMING!!!!"

Before I was able to react, Lay jumps me from behind and pulls me under the water.

"Lay!" I shriek. I pull myself above water and take a deep breath.

"Lay, you nearly drown-" I look around. I couldn't see at all and my heart nearly stopped.

I start to panic. "LAY! Please answer, please, where are you!!? Oh my gosh, oh my goodness, what to do, what to do?!"

I start searching frantically.

"Lay, Lay, Lay..."

"Boo!"

I scream and fall back into the water.

"Aiyoooo! I got you good! Haha." Lay claps and laughs.

I groan and stand up. "You monster! You nearly made my heart stop, ugh!"

I turn around abruptly and stomp away.

"Awh..." Lay runs up to me and hugs me from behind. "I'm sorry, forgive me."

He starts kissing my ear. I start to giggle uncontrollably.

"Ok ok, fine, I'll forgive you, just don't scare me like that. I literally almost had a heart attack." I turn around and kiss him.

"Deal." Lay pulls out, but I grab his neck and pull him in again.

"Gracie I-" Lay says, but I stop him.

"Shhh, let me kiss you."
