Frenemies

37

Grayson and I are both laying in bed, our hands greedily trying to touch each other. It's funny, the way we've become so touchy with each other within the next month. Grayson and I were both trying to survive school and both have been so busy that we haven't been seeing each other much.

And when we do, we end up in his room, talking to each other all while trying to sneak kisses in. I place my hands on his face and he looks into my eyes. 

"I love you", I say and watch as his smile skyrockets. I love making him smile: the way his whole face changes, morphing into what I call adorable. 

I lean up and connect our lips together. He kisses me so slowly that it makes me yearn for more. I'm about to open my mouth for me when he pulls away and says,"No can do."

"Why not?", I say pouting. He glances at my lips but then gets off me. 

"I've gotta get my sisters back home", he says getting off the bed. 

"Oh I should probably go home then", I say frowning. 

"No, I'll drop you off. After we have the milkshakes. My sisters love getting milkshakes with you", he says grabbing his key off the dresser. 

"You love them too", I throw in with a laugh. 

"I hate the singing afterwards", he says and I disagree. 

"You love those too", I say and reach him. I pull him down and peck his lips. 

"Catch me if you can", I shout making a beeline out of the room knowing that he will catch me in an instant.

He always does.

"I call shot gun!", A hear a girly voice yell and I look over from Grayson to the voice. It is Stacie and when she sees me she lights up,"Julie." I hear more excited screams and the back door opens. 

"Are we getting milkshakes?", Lily shouts and Anna nods alongside. I hold out the cup tray in my hands and watch as their faces light up in excitement. They both grab one and Stacie takes one as well. I bring back the cup and look at the small sized one. 

"We need to get Nathan. Where is he?" 

"I literally told you before taking him, what were you doing?", Grayson says with a laugh and I sip my drink. 

"Staring at you when you were changing your shirt", Anna says and I turn around to her. She only shrugs at me while taking a sip of her drink with a knowing look at me.  

"Ahh", he says smiling wildely and I slap his arm. He only laughs harder as he pulls out of the driveway. 

"So who is in control of the music?", I say grabbing the aux and pointing it behind myself. An eager hand grabs it and within seconds loud music blares through the car. 

"I hate you", Grayson shouts to me as all of us start singing along with the music. 

"I love you too, Gray", I shout back and he laughs. The atmosphere between us is calm and I enjoy being with his family, who is starting to feel like my own. 

"I'm driving you straight home, I can't take the singing anymore", Grayson says to me quickly before turning his head to the front of the road, his hand wrapped around the steering wheel. As he says this, the girls and Nathan and I sing louder. Grayson ignores us and drives me toward my house. 

I look ahead at the road and as he is about to turn into my street, a car turns toward us with full force. At first I only hear a loud noise in my ear and it keeps going. My heart feels lile it dropped to my feet and my eyes close tight. After a few minutes of this, I open my eye to find that I'm not harmed. My back does hurt a lot but I'm not visibly hurt.
