JUST FRIENDS // G.D. // COMPLETE

3.

It's been a few hours, and we still haven't left the couch. I wasn't kidding when I said that we love being lazy. We've just been eating pizza and talking about unimportant things. These boys really know how to make me laugh, I couldn't ask for better friends. I throw my legs across Ethan's lap, and let out a deep breath. I'm so full it hurts.
"We should watch a scary movie" Ethan says excitedly, pushing my feet away and jumping up to look through their dvds. He knows I hate scary movies, but pretends like he forgets. "Ethaaan" I whine and look over to Grayson batting my eyes, hoping he'll back me up. He just laughs, throwing his hands up and shaking his head. "You'll be fine Mel" Ethan says while putting in a dvd without even consulting us. I sit up scooting myself closer to Grayson and cross my legs. "Fine but sit close to me too" I tell Ethan and pat the spot next to me. I can see the excitement across this face as he jumps beside me, putting his left arm behind my head. I lean my head on his shoulder and pull the blanket over all of us.

The movie has been playing for about 20 minutes and I'm already terrified. It doesn't help that the room is now dark because the sun has gone down. I honestly don't even know what we are watching I just know I don't like it. It's the suspense about these movies, I hate jump scares. I'm still sitting with my legs crossed with both Ethan and Grayson close to me. They are loving this movie, because there's a hot girl in it. There's a hot guy in it too, but I honestly can't even focus on that.
There's a loud crash, making me jump and I pull the blanket gripping it tighter. I can see Ethan smirking out of the corner of my eye, shoving popcorn into his mouth. I'm glad he finds this so funny. I have the blanket pulled up to my face, and I'm squinting my eyes so I can still see what's happening, but not clearly so it's less scary. Does anyone else do this?
I suddenly feel a hand glide up my thigh and grip firmly, dangerously close. I flinch a little realizing it's Grayson. I'm just not used to him touching me there. "Are you scared?" He leans in and I feel his breath against my ear. I look at him to see he's still looking at the tv. I just shake my head and look away trying to ignore that his hand is still on my inner thigh. I felt shivers go down my back, but I don't know if it's from the movie or from him. I shift in place a little, just incase he doesn't realize how intimate he's being, but when I do he leaves his hand resting.
There's another loud crash, making me jump again. This time a let out a little squeal. Dammit. I feel his hand give my thigh a quick squeeze, but he then removes it. Thank God. He swings his arm around me, pulling me into his chest. "Baby" he chuckles. I let out a deep breath, not even realizing I was holding it in. What the fuck.
