Alyssa's POV

***

"Hey, Gray?"

"Yes?"

It's a Friday afternoon and I've caught Grayson at the best time. On Friday's, he's always calm, in a good mood and easy to label as a pushover. 

"Can my friend Alex come over tonight?"

Grayson starts unloading the dishwasher and I bend down, picking up cups and plates to help convince him.

"Not tonight," he replies. "We have an early start to a busy day tomorrow"

"What are we doing?" I ask, taking my phone from the counter to text Alex. 

"Meetings, errands, stuff like that. I think Kristina wanted to go to the mall"

"Oh," I reply, adding a little air to the end of my sentence.

Grayson looks up and raises an eyebrow, giving me the reaction I wanted. 

"Why, what's up?"

I shrug. "Is it okay if I stay home?"

"Why?" Gray frowns. "You alright?"

I nod. "I just don't feel like going out tomorrow"

"Well, I don't like leaving you at home alone. Especially for hours on end"

I start to talk, but then remember hiding Alex is a secret. I won't be home alone. 

"Please?" I sigh. 

"You'll have fun, I promise," Gray smiles, ruffling my hair as he puts more plates away. 

"How am I going to have fun stuck at your meetings?" I mutter, looking down at my hands. 

Grayson sighs and rolls his eyes. 

"Can't I just stay here with Kris?" I sigh, giving him my best puppy dog eyes. 

"Fine," Gray says, shaking his head with a gentle smile. "You've been staying home a lot lately, though. Everything okay?"

I nod quickly.

"You've been acting weird too," Gray continues. "Are you sure you don't want to talk about anything? I'm always-"

"-Always here to listen," I say, finishing his sentence. "I know. I'm fine"

"If you say so"

Grayson walks outside into the garden and I walk back upstairs towards my room. I don't know when I'll tell the twins about Alex, but it has to be done pretty soon.

"We're leaving!"

Alex breaks our kiss and raises an eyebrow, nodding towards the door. 

"I think they're going now"

"No shit, sherlock," I laugh, rolling my eyes. "Stay here. I'll be back"

Alex nods and lies down on my carpet, grabbing her phone to no doubtedly look at TikTok. I exit my room and shut the door behind me, checking the hallway to make sure no one's around. I then walk downstairs and see the twins and Kristina getting ready to leave. 

"Kristina can't stay with you anymore," Ethan says, grabbing his keys. 

"I'm getting coffee with a friend right across the street though so if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me"
