My enemy, my everything

5. Sleepover

    After the call ended I knew in that moment I could forgive Grey. Before the call ended I asked him if he wanted to come over tomorrow and work on the Homecoming dance. He said yes.

   I get in the shower to think about everything. I think about Grey. I think about what to do about Alex. I think about Grey going into the water for me. I think about love. I think about what's real. I think about Grey and what it would be like to forgive him. Would we be friends?

    When I get out of my shower I decide to call Grey to come over to talk.

   A few moments later I hear my phone ding.

    Grey: omw

    Suddenly I'm anxious. It'll be okay. Just tell him you forgive him and you would like to be friends.

    I get dressed in my pajamas and braid my hair.

15 minutes later, he shows up at my front door. I welcome him in and we walk to my room without saying a word.

"What is it you needed to talk about, lili?"

I look at him and breath in. "I forgive you."
I pause. "I want to be friends with you."

His lips curl into a smirk. "We can be friends."

"I thought I was the one deciding we could be friends."

"I was just agreeing with you, lili." I smile at him and then I notice the bruise on his jaw. I walk closer.

"What happened? To your jaw." I ask softly.

"About that, me and my father got into a fight after I got home. I was wondering if I could spend the night here, since I'm already here. But if not I'll probably just stay the night somewhere else." He says looking away.

First day of being friends and we are already having our first sleepover. "You can stay, of course." I say, not asking about the fight.

I check the time on my phone. It's already so late. I look outside my window and there's no sun. We stand around in silence for a few moments until I decide to break the silence.

"Where would you like to sleep?" I ask.

"Where would you like me to sleep?" He answers quickly.

"You can take my bed, I'll sleep on the floor." I say.

"It's your room. I'm not letting you sleep on the floor. We'll both take the bed."

I blush at the thought of sharing my bed with him. "Alright." I say quietly. More silence. "Are you hungry? I can make us something to eat."

"I'm fine. Are you?"

"A little bit." I say.

I start walking towards the door and I hear him follow me all the way downstairs, to the kitchen.

   I start cooking Mac n cheese until he stops me. "Are you just going to eat Mac n cheese for dinner? Let me cook you something."

   "Um... uh... okay alright go ahead."

   I watch as he starts cooking for me. He makes grilled chicken, Mac N cheese, and mashed potatoes. Enough for the both of us. "I thought you weren't hungry"

    "I'm always hungry if I wanna be. And I really should eat."

    After we eat, we head back up to my room. "Is it alright if i use your bathroom to shower?" He asks

   "Of course, it's that door right there." I say pointing to the door beside my closet. He walks into the bathroom and after a moment I hear the shower start running.
 
   I turn on the tv and start watching The Vampire Diaries. Then before I know it he's crawling into bed beside me. "Are you asleep lili?" He asks.

   I don't answer. I'm almost asleep so it doesn't matter. After a minute or so later I hear him talking to himself, or me?

   "I didn't know what you went through, lili. I would've never done the things I did to you if i had known."

   I decide to say something which was very stupid of me. "You shouldn't have done it to me regardless. You shouldn't act that way towards anyone, Grey." I say turning my body towards his and raising up a little.

    "I know, I'm really sorry, lili."

    "I dont care, I have hated you so much these few years. I've hated how you picked on me, I've hated how you always get into trouble. I've hated that I can't get my mind off of you. I hate that since you've started being nice to me all I can picture is our lips pressed together." I don't even realize what I'm saying until the words come out.

   Before I can apologize, he grabs my face and presses his lips against mine. It's happening so fast I don't even understand what lead to this moment. I kiss him back. "Grey.." I say through the kiss. "I hate you so much" I say before I kiss him again.

   "I know, sweetheart. It's okay. Hate me all you want." I could stay in this moment forever.
