Chasing Paisley (Dolan Twin Books)

Chapter 2. The myster man

   Still trying not to look at the mystery person, i focus on the task at hand, which is collecting all of the fallen papers on the ground, but when i heard the most heart warming, manly chuckle i could already feel my cheeks staring to warm because i already knew who i had so foolishly run into.

        The only guy i have ever had a crush on since the seventh grade, non other than Grayson Dolan and he was bending down next to me helping me pick up our belongings. I looked up for maybe three seconds to see if i was right, sure enough he was grinning ear to freaking ear, like i had just given him the best present he had ever seen.

        For a moment i got lost into his beautiful eyes, but Snapping back into it i cleared my throat and speaking softly i said

"I'm really sorry i knocked your things over, i wasn't paying attention to where i was going, i'll pick all of these up for you, you don't have to help me, it was my fault."

At this point im praying he will just stand up and not say anything to me, but sure enough he chuckles again and says in a his deliciously deep voice

"Don't worry about it, i wasn't paying attention either so you cant take all the credit for this. Im Grayson by the way, Grayson Dolan."

         He is smiling and sticking his hand out for me to shake, but his smile is so handsome and i get frozen, looking like a fool i just stare at him, until his smile starts to fade is when i finally realize i am making myself look like an idiot. I shake his hand, noticing how much bigger it is than mine, and how mine fit just like a glove inside of it.

        Quickly i reply

"yeah, i know who you are, but I'm Paisley Kingsman and totally embarrassed that i ran right into you,"

Hoping he isn't so freaked  out by me i tug my hand away gently so that i can pick up the rest of my things, and get the hell out of there as fast as i possibly can.

"Are you new here, cause i don't think I've ever really seen you around ?"

Sighing i reply

"No Grayson, I'm not new around here, I've been going to school with you and your brother since the middle school, I'm just always at the back of the classroom being all awkward and non existent."

        Grayson genuinly looked surprised to learn i wasnt new at school, which didnt make me feel any better but ive always known no one noticed me so why did it hurt so much now, finding out he didnt know?

"Oh, im sorry, I didnt mean to sound like a complete ass, ive just never seen you around. If it makes you feel any better, its a shame we've never met before this, You're very beautiful."

Feeling my heart actually stop at the realization of what he just said was enough to make a girl pass out. Did Grayson Dolan actually just call me beautiful, or am i dreaming?

        "Uhm Paisley, are you okay?"

        My internal voice started screaming at me to saying something and to not just freeze like an idiot. Quickly i pick up my last piece of paper, shove it in my folder and stand handing him his Algebra text book.

        "Yeah, im fine, i just didn't think i heard you right. Anyways thank you for helping me pick up this stuff, and im also sorry for running you over. Have a good day, Grayson." I reply

        Feeling good that i will be able to walk away from him and go to the bathroom so that i can chastise myself for being such a pathetic babbling fool. Just as i am walking around him, i feel his hand grab my arm like he is trying to stop me. Curious i turn to look at him, and when i look him his eyes, i can feel the heat that he is spending me with just his eyes. His eyes turned almost black when he rubbed his thumb over my arm, letting my arm drop to my side. He stepped a Little closer to me and i could smell his cologne and aftershave and it was heaven.

        "Have a good day Paisley." He said looking straight into my eyes.

        I was so dumb founded when he just turned around with a devilish smirk on his face and walked down the hallway away from me. Once he was out of sight, i took and deep breathe and silently said to myself,

        "What did i just get myself into?"
