Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 13

Today was a peaceful day so far, Grayson and I were out riding around and it was just a really great afternoon. He told me he loved me lastnight and things couldn't get any more perfect, Besides the fact of my anxiety rising. Keeping this from dad sucked, but it was better off not telling him right now. I'm just worried about what he will do when he finds out, their friendship could possibly go to ruin because of me. That raises my anxiety a bit. 

"So, um, don't hate me but there is an old friend coming to town and they'll be here tonight and they want to hang out. So I told them we would meet them for dinner" Graysons voice spoke and it tore me away from my thoughts. 

"Yeah, sure, What time?" I looked at Grayson. 

"Around 7, if that's okay with you" He was fidgety

"Yeah, sounds perfect" I smiled. 

"Great, so we'll head home now and get ready" He didn't sound like his normal self, a thick coat of nervousness was covering his voice. 

I didn't say anything back. I simply nodded and consumed myself back in my thoughts. 

Why was he so nervous and fidgety, maybe this "old friend" Is a girl, which he has no reason to be nervous about that, I'm not the jealous type. Unless a girl completely throws herself at him and he flirts back, other than that I'm not going to be mad. 

We were about fifteen minutes from home and I was nervous because Grayson was acting all weird and stuff and I didn't know why. I should ask him but I don't want it to make it sound like I'm being bitchy or something that we're meeting a friend of his tonight. He had barely even spoken to me at all today, and memories from lastnight flooded my mind, and that's when it hit me, What if HE regretted it? or regretting that he told me he loved me. I mean, it made sense, or maybe I was just over reacting.

We were finally home and I had about 30 minutes to get ready, I didn't even know if this was formal, or casual. 

"Hey, Grayson, is this Formal or casual?" I asked as we walked through the door and into the kitchen. 

"Um, Were just going to a seafood joint, so casual" He sat his keys down on the counter and walked over to the fridge and got a water out.  

"Okay thanks" I walked up stairs and into my room, I quickly shut the door behind me and walked to my dresser getting a air of white shorts out and then walking to my closet, getting a grey V-neck out and quickly changed, I had already showered so I was good there. I walked to my bathroom and plugged my straightener up, I had wind blown hair  from Graysons jeep and I needed to tame it. I quickly brushed through and straightened it all in under 20 minutes. New record for me. I walked over to my closet and Grabbed a pair of flipflops and put them on. I got my purse and made my way down stairs. 

"Great, you ready?" I heard a voice coming behind me. 

"Yep" I stopped in the kitchen and Grayson gave me a quick kiss. He walked around me and grabbed his keys off the counter. 

"Lets go" He smiled at me and Grabbed my hand.

I was currently sitting at the table of a little seafood joint near the beach not having much fun, Grayson and his friend Amanda were laughing it up. After all day of him barely speaking and looking at me, he acts like nothing is wrong and all happy. I will admit It made me sort of upset, but seeing him happy made me happy. 

Their laughing died down and she was smiling at him, that's something I usually do. 

"Excuse me, really quick" I smiled at the both of them and got up from my seat. I grabbed my phone and went to the bathroom to call Claire.
