A Christmas Favor

Chapter Eleven Avoiding

                                    Grayson POV
---------------------------- ~ ------------------------------

The kiss lasted a while it went from rough and passionate to sweet and soft just like I wanted it to be

I wanted to soak up her taste forever it was like we released all the built up tension that followed us in every room

When we broke apart to come up for air
Reality set in and I could see it all over Eira's face that she was panicking

"Uhm I need to go to bed" she had a breathy tone and before I could even get a word in she slammed the door in my face

I guess we're not sleeping together tonight
My suddenly happy bubble deflated a bit

But I don't let it get to me
I'm sure in the morning Eira will be herself again

--------

She was not in fact herself again

I woke up and found all our stuff downstairs already and she barely spoke two words to me

Although she did have a lot to say to my parents

The train ride she was silent

I tried to talk to her I did but she would give me very few answers and after a while I just stopped trying

She would look at me though and her beautiful eyes told me everything I needed to know

She was scared

Of what I couldn't figure out I mean was it the kiss that scared her or her feelings

When we got of the train she looked with a pale expression

"Are you okay Eira?"
"I can help with the Bags"

"No I'm fine" she says stubbornly

"Eira what is up with you today?" I say frustrated

"Is it-" I stop
"Is it because of the kiss did it get you freaked or something?"

"No!" She says defensively

"Than what is it?!"
"Talk to me Jameson" I say resting my hand on her face

"The favor is done we played our parts good but know it's time to get back to reality Grayson"

"What is reality?" I question

"Continuing on with our lives and pretend that it never happened" she says but I know it pains her

"I can't pretend just pretend it never happened when my feelings for you are real" I argue

"We don't work Grayson"

"What are you even talking about?"
"We spent a whole week together acting like a couple"

"And half of it wasn't even pretend so where do your logic make sense!"

"It makes perfect sense"
"You're a hockey player Grayson"

"Key word in their is player"
"So you're going to find someone better the second we step back onto campus and forget about me"

"Eira"
"You know that's not true you're just trying to back out now because your scared"

Her eyes widened in shock
"Once we step back onto campus it's over grayson"

"I'm sorry"

A muscle in my jaw ticked with anger

She was backing out before we even gave it a chance

Fine if that's what she wants to do I'll let her for now

But one thing she doesn't know about me is that I'm not a quitter

I want to give us a shot and I'm not scared
I don't want any other puck bunny

I want my Jameson

So I'm going to wait for us to get back on campus then I'm going to get my girl
