Once Grey

Chapter 35: Best friends

Edwins POV
Hearing Grey finally telling me yes was a feeling I had never felt before. I felt like I had some power of possessiveness over her and it pleased me. Was I going to be enough for her? She was already broken...I might just burden her with my dramatic life. My mum made me completely detest the thought of relationships but with Grey...I honestly don't know what this is..I did say I wasn't certain what this was but Its pretty clear to me that It isn't just lust. But I promise when the time is right I'll tell her every thing about who I really am. I'll relish every moment with her while it lasts.
" Earth to Torres" Ivan came in between my tedious thoughts like he always does waving his big hands infront of my face.
" Stop that" I said rather harshly.
" Dude, did you get someone pregnant? " He teased I think I sought of zoned out again cuz he's stupid hands invaded my vision again but Grey absorbed my thoughts so much that I couldn't exactly answer him how I would have instead I said..
"Man, I think I just got myself into a relationship" I said my eyes not leaving the wall in wonder..did I just get myself into a relationship? Impossible. I think I should tell that we should take it slow...buh you already asked her to be your girlfriend dummy. My subconscious scolded. Or I could just momentarily break up with her and ask her a second time. Yh and break her heart no I dont think so.
" What do you mean think? Is she pregnant? Where you drunk when you proposed to her? " He rambled on and in as much as I wanted to laugh I completely understood his reaction. He knew how much I hated relationships with a capital H and he was there when everything went South. I didn't realise when he stepped closer to check my non existent temperature.
" Can you not be a drama queen Morris?" He knew when I pronounced his last name I was definitely not kidding." And who spoke about a proposal?"
" What do you expect from me when you drop such a bomb on me... seriously dude were you forced by your dad? Cuz it's just like saying the famous Jesus Christ is actually Lucifer's son" he kept ranting.
" No my dad has nothing to do with it...and surprisingly I have nothing to do with it either...I think it's my heart"
Which only made him laugh harder
" Dude since when did you start becoming so cheesy...no but are you serious? like damn serious?" he asked trying to contain his amusement seeing as I was just staring at him trying to understand what was so funny.
" I'm serious, with her I didn't even think about the consequences...like some force pushed me into asking her." I honestly didn't know how to explain it. I always thought things through. I didn't plan on asking her to be mine that night but I guess her against my chest as we basked under the starlight and as I twirled her hair between my fingers only made me feel like I already had the world infront of me and I just didn't want to let go. I wanted to own a place not just physically but emotionally too.
" Dude ,you are falling hard" he laughed as he fell back against the couch ." Who's she man, do I know her?"
" Andrea Hernandez" It felt weird calling her name I was so used to calling her Grey believe or not she is my Grey
" Geez man, I was already hitting on her"
" Don't even dare" I was suddenly pissed as I threw him one of my deadly glares as I made my way to my room living him on the couch as he shouted
" Mia Is gonna be so pissed"
Oh right Mia, I forgot about her..but I'm sure she'll handle it. We weren't exactly a thing. And was that jealousy I felt earlier?? It sucks.

Andrea's POV
" Remind me why I had to leave so early again?"
" We would both be in deep shit if you hadn't" I texted with a smile.
" Now see where that got me...I can't seem to get anything done today...you keep clouding my thoughts." My cheeks were probably crimson red with how hard I was blushing.
" If I didn't know better I'll think you won the lottery but that will be impossible right? Cuz you are the lottery" Val teased
" Girl what's up you've been smiling from ear to ear all morning." Cari asked as she plopped on my bed beside me. I put up my head to three pair of eyes piercing into my soul waiting to know my secret ingredient for happiness. I too was surprised to see the girls at my doorstep but then they told me that they did say they were going for Christmas and not New year. I wondered if I was dreaming or I was his girlfriend. And then it hit me that I just said yes to a guy I knew nothing about. The only thing I knew was he had issues...which I hoped he was gonna open up with time.
" I think I'm dating Edwin" I got no reaction as they all looked awestruck.
" What on earth did you use on him...don't tell me you got pregnant ?"
" You're such a smart slut you know that?" Val swatted my arm playfully.
" No not all I still have my V card girls" I finally said after Vals comment.
" Then what did you do to him?" Kay was still awestruck...was he that bad?
" You're definitely his first girlfriend ...not in bed though" Val said.
I was elated at the sound of me being the first but thinking of him with other girls worst of all Mia gave me a sudden urge to throw up.
" Shut up Val" Cari said with a smack on her head.
" Buh I have a feeling you will definitely be his last." Val finally said which only made me chuckle...i was just 17 and she thinks we can lasts that long?Here goes the persimist. My subconscious pricked me with guilt. Hey I'm being realistic here not persimistic.
