Forever Isn't A Long Time (A Greyson Chance Story)

Chapter 16

=Greyson=

I woke up. There was a small wet spot on my pillow. Have I been crying? I placed a hand on my cheek and sure enough, it’s wet.  Ugh, I can’t believe I cried over a girl. But it’s not just any girl. It’s Riley, and she’s worth crying for.

“Grey, Dad’s flight comes in at three. Wanna come with me, to pick him up?” Tanner asked.

I sniffled and nodded my head. “Yeah, I’ll go with you.”

I climb out of bed and take a long hot shower. I pulled on a pair of blue skinny jeans and a white T-shirt with a dark brown jacket over it. I slip into my high-tops and leave my hair as it is. I put on my bullet necklace; I can’t believe I took it off yesterday. I never take it off. Riley gave it to me for my tenth birthday and it was my favorite present.

I go downstairs and enter the family room. I walked up to my piano and sit down. I play a few scales and finally decide to play something happy.

“Baby here I am

I'm the man on the scene

I can give you what you want

But you gotta' come home with me

I have got some good old lovin'

And I got some more in store

When I get through throwin' it on you

You gotta' come back for more

Boys and things that come by the dozen

That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'

Hey little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now

Gets around

Action speaks louder than words

And I'm a man of great experience

I know you've got another man

But I can love you better than him

Take my hand don't be afraid

I'm gonna prove every word I say

I'm advertising love for free

So you can place your ad with me

Boys come along a dime by the dozen

That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin'

Hey little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now

Gets around

Yeah

Hard to handle, now

Oh baby

Baby here I am

I'm the man on your scene

I can give you what you want

But you gotta' come home with me

I have got some good old lovin'

And I got some more in store

When I get through throwin' it on you

You gotta' come and back for more

Boys and things that come by the dozen

That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'

Hey little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now
