Finally school was over and I waited at Grays locker for him, he showed up with his friends and they were all laughing until they saw me
"Wow, don't let me ruin your fun" I say putting my phone in my pocket
"Hey, how are you?" Matt asks seeming genuine making me smile
"I'm okay" I say losing the smile
I move out of the way so Gray can get his bag and he smiles at me in relief like he didn't think I was going to show up.
They all says goodbye and Ethan says he'll see us later
Gray smiles as he swings his bag over his shoulder
"Ready?" He asks
"Sure, but for what?" I asked trying not to seem happy
He didn't answer he just kept walking towards his car, we both got in and Gray plugged in his phone playing Roy Woods, it annoyed me because he knew I loved Roy Woods and he was just trying to suck up
We drove for about 20 minutes before we pulled over to this sketchy spot near a forest
"Okay look, I know I upset you but please don't kill me" I said as we got out of the car
He laughed and held his hand out towards me for me to take it
I looked at it for a second then looked at the cliff we were about to climb down and immediately grabbed it
He held onto me tightly like he never wanted to let go
After a couple minutes of walking and me falling twice we finally got to this spot with two chairs and a rug
"What is this?" I said in shock
"This is where E and I come to figure shit out, if we can't think of a video idea or if we just need some time away" he says I nod releasing my hand from his
He looks down at his hand and frowns that's it not holding mine anymore
"Sit" he said
I did what he said and sat in the red chair beside him.
"Okay, first I just want to say thank you for even speaking to me, I know your mad but I want to make it up to you" he said and I sat in silence looking ahead of us
"I've liked you for a while, ever since we were little but I guess we just lost our closeness when E and I.. you know left you guys" I look at him and he's now looking at his feet as his leg jiggles from nerves
Did he just admit to liking me?
"When we got close again I thought it was the perfect time to finally you know, be with you" he looked up at me and his eyes looked so pure and innocent which made me want to just forgive him right then and there.
"So at the party" he adds and now I feel sadness coming because I don't want to remember what happened
"Sophie was feeding me drinks all night" he says then pausing to sigh
"Before you got there she kept giving me drinks I didn't even know what I was drinking" he says getting angry at what she did to him
"So she told me to come upstairs with her" he says and i interrupt
"I don't want to hear it" I say putting my hands over each ear like a 5 year old
"Grace.. we didn't have sex" he says and I move my hands
"Don't lie Grayson" I say hoping he's telling the truth
"We kissed but that's all, I was drunk but not drunk enough to sleep with her" he says and I let out a sigh of relief
"Grace I like you, no one else, what I did was completely wrong and I would take it back if I could"
I stop him "I believe you Gray"
"Really?" He says looking at me
I grab his hand and squeeze it "really" I say reassuring him
"And.. I like you too" I say almost whispering the last part looking away
He smiles and kisses my hand
"So now what?" He asks making us laugh
All of a sudden I get an urge to kiss him, I don't feel nervous that it's my childhood best friend, or that we had only just made up, all I want to do is kiss him.
I look at him and I can see he's thinking the exact same as me, he licks his lips before leaning in, our lips brush together lightly before moving in sync with one another.
I had butterflies in my stomach as he brought one hand up into my hair I put one on his thigh close to his crutch to tease him, He was a really good kisser and I never wanted it to end.
We pull away and Grays smiling uncontrollably
"What" I say laughing
"I've waited to do that since forever" he says bringing his thumb up to his lip
Gray drives me home holding my hand tightly as our fingers intertwine, every now and the he brings my hand to his mouth and he kisses it a few times making me smile like an idiot.
Wow life couldn't get much better right now.
