Playing Hard For You - G.D x J.C

Argument

Two days later
James' POV
So, it's been roughly two days since Grayson and I have seen each other.

I've been staying in the house ever since the night Grayson invited himself in.
But now, I'm in the middle of a second conversation with Luke Zachary, by text.

Luke: I know what I did wasn't cool. I was just really interested in you
James: Theres plenty other ways to handle someone's love
Luke: I know that. Just Grayson pissed me off
James: Grayson had a right to be pissed off. He has pissed me off once too, but I didn't start problems with it
Luke: I guess others solve problems differently
James: You Guys didn't solve it correctly. But it was the only thing Grayson could do
Luke: Ehh, Alright. I guess your right. I am sorry, even thought it doesn't look like it
James: I won't fall into tricks. But I'll just say...Okay

I think Grayson would want me to interact with someone who tried to get with me, then start problems with Grayson at first sight.
I feel like he would be a little mad at me. But I'm not going to fall for him, I have no reason to.

*Ding ding*. I hear my doorbell buzzing.
I place my phone on the kitchen counter and skip towards the door.
I twist the doorknob, opening it. Only to see Grayson standing there with a smile on his face.
"Hey James. How's everything?". Grayson greets me as he pulls me in for a hug and kiss.
I hug back, "I'm fine, how are you?". I reply back.

After we greet each other. Grayson and I walk together to the kitchen.
"I wasn't expecting you. So I'll grab whatever I have". I say. Entertaining Grayson's visit.
Grayson chuckles. "That's fine. You do whatever, babe".

Something from the living room catches my eye. "One sec Gray". I say as I walk around the kitchen counter to enter the living room.

Grayson stands behind the counter. Watching me fixing up the couch pillows.
I hear my phone buzzing. But I ignore it.
Still tidying up the living room.

"Wow James, your phone is really buzzing". He exclaims.
I turn around to see Grayson looking over my phone screen.
He looks up at me. "Um, James. Why is Luke still contacting you?".
Grayson questions. Resting his hands on the counter.
I answer back. "Just cause".

Grayson scoffs. "Just cause? James why is Luke texting you. 'You'll forgive me soon enough'?
I step closer towards Grayson.
"Gray, he started messaging me recently. I didn't feel like always rejecting. I couldn't ignore him forever and Plus, I don't know the fuss about it anyways. I say with a little attitude.

Grayson folds his arms. "You literally can block his contact. And also, turn down the attitude".

"Look Gray. I've explained to him that there was plenty ways to solve the problem, we talked about how he pissed you off. I said that you had every right to be pissed off. And btw, I never forgave him. I said I will not fall into the trick.". I exclaim, letting out a breathy sigh.

Grayson nods before speaking. "Okay, fair enough. But why was he messaging you in the first place?". Grayson questions with his eyebrow raised.
I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, Gray. I even know why Luke would message me".
Grayson steps forward towards me. Closing the gap between us.
"Cause he saw it as an opportunity to steal you away from me. He probably saw you as the hoe you are. Trying to get in your pants".

I shake my head at Grayson's use of words. I step back. Running towards the stairs, rushing up and stumbling into my room before closing the door behind me.

I jump onto the bed. Feeling tears form in my eyes.

Grayson's POV
I curse under my breath after what just happened. I didn't realise what I was saying.
I don't know what took over me.
Anger, jealousy or something.

It's not my fault that I was mad at Luke for texting James, after him and I had a problem with each other the day we met.

I felt bad. But I guess I needed to say something. But I'm not leaving the house. I'm
Waiting until he comes out.

Two hours later:
James still hasn't left the room. So I decide something.

"I'll just go up there myself". I whisper to myself as I walk to the stairwell.
I step upstairs and turn into the direction that leads to James' room.
I knock on the door. Looking down at the ground as I wait for a response or signal from James.

"What". I hear from the other side of the door. "James, let me in". I say in a inviting tone. Hoping he would allow me inside.
I hear the doorknob giggle.
James opens the door. Allowing me inside.

"James, I'm sorry for what I said before. I don't know what it is, babe. I think the thought of Luke sweeping you away me. I guess I felt angry or jealous about it?". I exclaim. I wait for James to response.

James thinks for a second before responding. "Grayson, it's nice to know you love me to the point that you feel jealous when another person contacts me. But it wasn't those kinds of conversations. Luke was apologising to me about his actions, but I said I'm not gonna be tricked into anything. I promise". James replies. He looks down at the floor.

I stand in front of James. Resting my finger under his chin.
I lift it up. Making him look up at me.
"And what I said before. I didn't mean it. I was just angry, I cut my sentence short. I meant to say he views you as a hoe and thinks he can dig into your pants. But I know your smart enough to not do that".

James smiles. "It's okay Gray. I know where your coming from. I would be mad too. I'm sorry, love you". James wraps his arms around my waist tightly.
"Me too. And more". I say before we part from the hug.
