Without a Word (Hayes Grier fanfic)

Three Little Words

Myra

I put the last period on the email, but didn't click send. I couldn't, not just yet.

"Hey," Hayes came up behind me and kissed my cheek. "Whatcha up to?"

I pushed the thoughts out of my mind, and went to him. "Oh nothing much, just finishing up some school work,"

"Alright good, because we're going out," I grabbed my hand.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Well, I just thought that maybe it would be nice to go get a nice dinner, on me," he kissed my cheek again. I loved when he did that. He moved to my jaw, then my neck.

I turned, connecting his lips to mine. They moved in sinc together. His younger brush lightly against my bottom lip as I stood up.

"Well I better get ready for dinner," I pushed him off, cutting off out make out session. "I'll be ready in about ten minutes"

I ran upstairs and changed into tan shorts and a jean button up. I ran back down stairs ran him out the door. We decided that we could just walk down to the restaurant a bit down the street.

He held my hand and swung it gently as we walked. Occasionally he would mutter something like "you're the best," but other than that we were silent.

Once we got to the restaurant, and ordered, he took my hand. "Listen, I wanted to talk to you about something," I tensed. This wouldn't be good,

I nodded for him to continue. "Listen, I know MAGcon ended, and I was kind of on a break, but digi fest, wants me to come on a tour with them."

My heart sunk, Hayes gone, for so long. "I know it's short notice, and that I'll be gone for a while, but I was hoping you would come with me?" There goes that heart thin again, up and down.

"I don't know Hayes..." I trailed off. Although it would be fun to spend the summer with him, going around the country, i wasn't even sure I would be able to.

"Come on Myra, it would be us, and a bunch of other youtubers just going around he country goofing off."

"Alright I'll ask," I sighed I wanted to go with him, but it didn't sound like such a good idea, me and bunch of Hayes fan girls.

Granted they had gotten better in the past month that we had been dating. But there were still some comments that got to me.

"Hey," he took hold of my hand over the table, "don't worry, I'll always be there"

Why was he so darn cute. But also he kinda made me want to puke, it's too much and I can't handle it.

We walked back to my house and watched a movie. He had his arm around me, and was playing with my sleeve. My head was rested on his shoulder. I wish we had more moments like this.

I wondered what we would be doing in four years. We'd both be graduated seniors from high school. I would hope we would make it that far, but honestly who's to say we won't break up in a month?

I didn't want to love Hayes, it hurt for me to. It hurt because I didn't want to hurt, and being in this situation seems to leave me hurting. But isn't that the point, to move on from the hurt and move on with your life. I don't know.

"Myra?" Hayes said, speaking through the movie.

"Mhm" I said absently.

"I think I love you," I froze. Three words, eight letters, and a wave of emotions hit me like a freight train all at once.

He had just (in full control) said he loved me. This was it, this was our moment. Alone on my couch, a girl being murdered on the tv and he chooses now.

How am I supposed to respond? I want to say I love you too, so why am I not? That is a pesky little thing, love. MYRA think he's waiting.

Instead of actually saying something back, I kind of attacked him. I peppered his face with kisses on his jaw and lips. Just praying he wouldn't notice the absence of a response.

He pulled me over, so I was sitting on his lap with a leg on either side of his. His hands moved to my hips, moving them in sync with my kissing rhythms.

I slowly made my way to his neck, kissing his below his ear lightly, leaving small purple marks.

"Ahem" I heard a voice ring out over the TV. Hayes moved me off of him, and turned to look at three boys standing in my kitchen. "Did I tell you the Jacks were coming to visit?" Nash said with a smirk on his face, while I was trying to make myself as small as possible.

Hayes stood and kissed my cheek, saying "we would finish later". Then he left with the boys.
