James' POV
The next day
I sit down on the kitchen stools, sipping on my last prepared Pinkity Drinkity.

I scroll through Instagram. Liking pictures on my feed.
Yesterday was awkward. But we can't keep it awkward forever.
I couldn't get my mind off this situation. I had to do something to get my mind off it...

I'm going to need to...I think to myself real quick.
"I need to find someone that will love me".
I shake out of my thoughts.
But I love Grayson. I don't think he wants me tho.

He basically said it yesterday. "I don't know" left me confused.
So I'm going to need to find a person.

Skip to night, 12am:
I lay down on my bed. Staring at the ceiling.
I think to myself.
"I need to find someone. I need to get my mind of Gray somehow."

I turn over on my side and instantly drift off to sleep mode.

Next day:
I wake up precisely nine o'clock in the morning.
I shake out of my tired mood and slip out of bed.

I leave the best aspect of my house for my shower.
I enter the shower.
I soap my body up, moisturise my body and wash it off with the warm water.

I turn the water off and step out the shower.
Instantly drying myself off with the white towel.

I slip on a cropped windbreaker jacket with black sweat pants.
Which not gonna lie. Complimented my booty.
I spray a decent amount of perfume on.

Quickly pacing over to my makeup room within a blink of an eye.
Applying the makeup on. I prime my face and get to the fun parts.

An hour later
Surprisingly. My makeup session today was one hour.
Not too heavy, just enough to make myself feel more confident when finding a man.

I check my phone reminders.
"Order 9 Grande cups of Pinkity Drinkities.
Oh shit. I forgot about that.

I pace out the at house. Dashing over to my car.
I start the car up, reverse out the driveway and I cruise out the street smoothly.

Within not even 10 minutes I'm parked by the local Starbucks store.
I enter the store and line up to order my pink drinks.
The cashier calls out the next person, which is mean.
"Next". I step forward and place my order.

I pay for my order and wait for my drinks to be made.
The guy next to me, assuming waiting for his order too.
I heard three teenage girls scream his name.
"Luke Zachary ake a photo with me".

Something clicks in my mind. Luke Zachary ?.
I've seen his Instagram before.
He had 1M Instagram followers. He was pretty good looking.

He takes the picture with the three girls and they leave the store.
I turn my head and start a conversation.
"Popular life huh?". I say in a friendly tone.

He looks up and nods. "I know, I know but I get used to I-"
He gets cut off. "James Charles?" He squeals.

I smile at him. "That's me". I reply. He chuckles back.
My order is finally done and I grab the cup trays.
"Hey James, what's your phone number?".
Luke says with confidence.
"Oh, I'll give to you now. Hold up."

I quickly give in my number and embeds my contact into his phone.

I exit the store and enter my car.
I start up the car and drive out the area back home.

Skip drive:
I twist the key into the lock and push my door open.
I walk inside and instantly shove the pink drinks into the fridge.
Later that night:
I flop onto the couch and pull out my phone.
Typing up YouTube and checking out Lukes YouTube channel.

I scroll through his channel.
He has 1.2m Subscribers. I was surprised.
One of his thumbnails consisted him shirtless.
I click on the video.
He had a pretty good bod' too. Not gonna lie.

He was filming himself at the beach and it was a little funny.
Dirty or humorous jokes slipped out his mouth here and there.
His eyes were green, more like fading off into a brown.
Tan skin and probably about 5'10.

About my height. Or even just my height.
I get a notification as I'm watching the video.
(1) message, Luke Zachary.

I click on the message and begin reading.

Off messages:

I slip my phone away. I wasn't bothered upstairs to sleep.
I slide my back down the couch and rest my head on the pillow.
I roll over and make space for myself and pull a blanket over me.

I stare at the coffee table and doze off...

Grayson's POV
My back meets the mattress and I stare up at the ceiling.
Thinking to myself. "I think I'm done deciding...but I'm not sure. Am I playing hard?"
I slap myself out of the thoughts...
I turn my head slightly and fall asleep...
