Faking

Chapter 23

Today was the final day that I was going to stay in this school. I was going to miss everyone so much. I still didn't tell anyone this because I am really not good with goodbyes.

Marco contacted me yesterday telling me where to meet him and he would sneak in at night. I will give him the key to the dormroom and other necessities.

I was going to leave tonight. Today was a Saturday, so we didn't have any classes to attend. I was watching TV in my room when I suddenly got a phone call from Vincent. He said, "Hey, Madison! Grace and I were planning to go to the movies today! Want to come?"

I had nothing to do so I quickly agreed. When I hanged up the phone, I noticed how it was suspicious as to why they were hanging out together. I thought they hated each other? Maybe they finally realized how much they actually like each other. I shrugged and got ready to leave.

I dressed up as a boy, but took my girl clothes in a bag to change into when I arrived at the movie theater.

Soon, I arrived at the movie theater and changed into my girl clothes. I picked a tight, light blue skinny jeans with a white long sleeve shirt. I put my hair down and my hair has grown longer.

I waited by the door and a long time has passed and they were still not here.

Suddenly I heard, "Oh you got to be kidding me."

I turned around and I saw...

Grayson!

I frowned at him and asked, "Are you watching a movie with someone? Wait, is it another girl?"

He sighed at me and said, "Are you really that stupid?"

My frown deepened and he said, "Let's just go watch the movie."

I was still confused and said, "Wait! I'm here to watch a movie with Grace and Vincent!"

He turned around and said, "You are stupid. Grace told me that we were going to watch a movie together to have a quality 'sibling time'. Vincent probably asked you to hang out with them. They planned this so we could go out together. Now, do you understand? "

Oh, I felt so stupid. I blushed and said, "I knew that, uh, I was just uhm checking if you were smart enough to find out. Yeah that was why!"

He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sure you knew. Now let's just watch this movie and go back."

I didn't complain because I really wanted to watch the movie. We watched a comedy movie and the whole time we were watching, I laughed a lot. I saw Grayson even tip his mouth upwards because it was funny.

The day has started to get better.

After two hours later, the movie was finally over. When I walked out of the movie theater, I realized how many couples were together. I always got jealous whenever couples watched a movie together being lovey dovey.

I used to glare at all the couples, but now I got a better plan. *insert your evil smile here*

I walked up to Grayson, who was walking way to fast to leave the movie theater, and hooked my arms through his. Then, I said, "Wasn't the movie so good, Gray Gray?"

Grayson paused walking and looked at me. He stared at me for a long time and started laughing at me.

Ugh.

I let go of him and started to run away because I was getting embarrassed. People were looking at us funny. It took a lot of courage for me to call him Gray Gray. He will probably murder me.

Soon, he ran up to me and stopped me.

I glared at him while he playfully smiled at me.

I was confused at this sudden change of emotions when he said, "I need to talk to you. Somewhere private."

I nodded cautiously and we walked towards a quiet park nearby.

We sat on a bench and he said, "I guess you are right. I shouldn't blame myself for what happened in my past. I really liked my mom. She was always there for me while my father wasn't. I blame myself all the time and I even get nightmares about what happened. I know I shouldn't but I saw it all happen. I lost her. She was there with me all the time and suddenly she was gone. I didn't know back then on how much it will hurt me to lose someone you truly care about."

He seemed so heart-broken that I just hugged him. He let me hug him and he put his head on my shoulder.

He said, "I need you to give me some time, Madison. I need time to think and get rid of bad thoughts. I want to start over."

I just nodded at him, but I knew that I could not wait for him. I was going to leave tonight and I don't even know when I will ever see him again.

I should have told him this, but I didn't know how. I was too happy that he opened up that I didn't want him to close up again.

He tilted his face up and looked at me closely. He moved his face closer to mine and our faces were inches apart. I could feel his breathing against my lip and my heart beat sped up.

There were small sparks that were moving around in front of our lips and we were both captivated by them. Soon, our faces were barely inches apart. This time, he made the first move and swiftly kissed my lips. It was a more tender kiss than the one in the rain. This time, I could feel a lot of emotions in it. I could feel the frustration, guilt, love, happiness, and confusion all mixed together in this simple kiss. He moved his lips against mine while encouraging me to kiss back. I didn't argue and I followed his lead. Soon, our lips were dancing and it felt like I was going to explode from all the heat. I kissed him back with love, happiness, and joy.

He brought me closer to him and I sat closer to him. I wrapped my arms his neck while his hands held onto my waist with a gentle caress. I felt like a princess in his arms and he was my prince. Words could not describe how much feelings were being passed in between us.

Soon, the kiss came to an end and we were both breathing heavily. He looked me in the eyes and said, "I care about you too."
