Yearning (Grayson Dolan) 2

Grayson's POV

We swam for a little longer. She felt something tickle her feet so for the rest of the time, she was on my back. Her legs wrapped around my waist, arms clinging to me, she reminded me of a koala bear on a tree. I laughed at the thought.

"What's so funny?" She said patting my bare chest.

"Nothin." I brought my bottom lip between my teeth and upper lip.

"Am I getting heavy?" she laughed.

"No, you just remind me of a koala bear."

"Is that good?"

"It's cute."

I didn't want to go back to school any time soon. Knowing people believe in the things Matt said infuriated me.

But as long as Bethany is on my side, that's all I'll ever need.

"Should we go? I don't wanna get you in trouble with your parents."

"Lets get food first."

"McDonalds?" I said walking out of the water and setting her down.

She got on her tippy toes and gave me a peck. Yes.

She looked so good half naked.

Stop Grayson. You can't think like that anymore.

But she's so hot, I just- the things I would do to her.

If you care about her you aren't going to push it. Things will happen on her own time. When she's ready.

She seemed ready when we were at her house.

I scoffed at my conscious and she turned to look at me.
"Sorry." I said.

Doesn't mean she IS ready. Don't screw this up.

"Fuck." I whispered, but she heard.

"What?"

"Nothing, I just I think I'm gonna decide to go into home schooling."

"My parents suggested it to me too." She said skipping to the car door.

I unlocked it for her and walked to my side.

"We could go to each others houses and do our work." she said smiling.

"Sounds fun." I said blankly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I turned to look at her and kept my eyes on her lips. My gaze soon moved down to her half exposed body. I could feel myself loosing control of myself.

I leaned into her and forcefully kissed her lips.

"Grayson.." she said in between the kiss. "Stop.." she pressed against my chest.

I backed away.

"Bethany, I'm sorry."

Bethany's POV

His eyes turned into the color he's had since I've known him. Dark, ugly and full of hormonal lust. When I pushed him away, its like the black faded into smoke and the original beautiful color of his eyes was back.

A color I have probably only seen.

I wanted him the way he wanted me too, but I wasn't sure of myself. I still am not. I don't want him to have sex with me then leave.

"It's okay, just take me home." I said taking a hold of his hand. He squeezed it reassuringly.

The ride home was peaceful, Grayson let me put on some music and he had is hand on my thigh the whole time.

Rubbing circles with his thumb here and there.
I loved it.

We parked a couple houses down from my house so I could put my clothes on.

"I had a lot of fun today." he finally spoke.

"Me too Grayson." I said while slipping on my sandals.
I got out of the car and he followed.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.

"Um, I don't know, I don't think I'm going to do anything."

"Oh, do you maybe wanna hang out?" I asked playing with a strand of my hair.

He grinned. "Babe, don't talk to me like I'm a friend. We, are... I guess you could say exclusive, so don't be scared to talk to me."

Exclusive? Thats right, when was he going to make it official? I know I wasn't because its just traditional for the guy to do it.

"Well if you aren't busy would you like to come over?"

"Yes babe."

Babe. I love it.

"Alright. Goodnight." I said turing around on my heel to walk to my house.

"Hey, I can't just drop you off? I have to say goodnight to your parents don't I?"

"You really haven't done any of this have you?"

"No, I told you."

"I know I know, c'mon."

"Wait.." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me into him.
His hands landed on the small of my back as he pressed me closer to him.

He brought his lips to mine and slipped his tongue in between my lips. A new sensation running through me.

He tried to put his hand down the front of my bottoms, but I stopped him.

"Grayson!" I whispered.

"Sorry." he said sounding irritating.

We walked up to my front porch and my mom answered the door.

"Your father went to sleep, did you guys have fun?"

"Yes, thank you for letting me take her out, I hope you both can grow to trust me with her." I looked over at him, surprised at his words.

"Of course Grayson. You just better not hurt her."

"Never." he said turning to look at me, his eyes looking deeply into mine. "Goodnight ma'am." He pecked me on the cheek and walked away.

"I'm sorry Bethany, you were right about him. He seems so sweet. Like he would never hurt you, but always protect you."

After today, the way he was acting, it made me hope that my mom was right.
I hope he is worth it...
