Kill My Mind || DOLLHOUSE Spin-off

38. Grayson

"Baby you don't have to do this" Ale said as he took a seat on my couch. 

"He's your friend so he should be my friend too."  Nick had asked Ale to hang out a third time in a week and so I practically invited myself. I had told Ale I wanted to get to know Nick but he knew that was a lie. What I wanted was to know why he was so fucking clingy. 

I sat next to Ale as I started to lace up my shoes. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me back so my back was against his chest and I giggled. He kissed my forehead, "Thank you for lying. It means a lot you're at least trying to become friends with him." 

I smiled and kissed his cheek "If he's boring I'll be convinced you still find him hot. It would be the only reason you hang out with him" Ale rolled his eyes and stuck his middle finger at me as he chuckled. I finished lacing up my shoes before standing, and holding out my hand for him to grab, and pulling him up "Let's go baby."

...

When we got to the club Nick was already there talking to some people standing next to him "Nick!" Ale shouted with a bright smile and Nick immediately ran over to hug him. 

He looked at me and held out his hand for me to shake "Hey Gray" he said with a stupid fucking smile. 

"Hello" I said without shaking his hand. Ale nudged my arm a little and I gave in and shook it. His hand tensed meaning he was scared of me. I smiled at the thought "Ale let's go get drinks."

Ale nodded and we walked towards the bar. Nick followed "A bourbon and A whiskey please." I smiled at him for knowing I would want whiskey. The bartender nodded and Ale and I both turned to look at Nick who was behind us perviously. I snuck my arm around Ale's waist 

"So Gray do you do business like Ale?"

I smirked "Yup." I heard our bartender place our drinks down so I grabbed them and handed Ale his while I quickly sipped mine. My hand went back to Ale's waist. 

"Nick was on the pre med track at Yale now he's about to start at Columbia for med school in a few months."

"So you're smart...and moving to New York." I liked that

"Yeah I'm only here in Italy for a few months. I'm trying to convince Ale to get in apartment in New York." I sipped my drink and pulled Ale closer 

"Why would he do that?"

"Well Ale and I used to dream about moving there." Ale tensed and I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah but that was high school. Like I said I finally started loving Italy again." he smiled up at me "I would only get a place there for work."

"So do it." Nick said and Ale chuckled 

"Maybe" Ale said as he sipped his drink. "You'll have to work harder to convince me"

Nick smiled. He was so bland I don't know what Ale ever saw in him "So. What were you guys like in high school?  Ale never speaks about it."

Nick chuckled "Probably because I was one of his three friends"

"Hey you weren't exactly Mr.Popular" they both laughed "I was on the soccer team and Nick was on baseball. We did used to have a lot of girls ask us out but obviously we said no so our teammates thought we were a little odd."

"In their defense we spent lunch in the library talking about books and movies." Ale smiled "or making out in the locker room." Ale chocked on his drink and I rolled my eyes.

"Do you remember the time Mr.Ferreria caught us." Ale said though a laugh 

"Oh god his face was something I wish I had taken a picture of to frame." Ale chuckled and looked over to me

"Luckily I was such a teachers pet so he never said anything but he never looked at me the same." I smiled at him 

"You seem like a teachers pet." he looked at me offended "It's a compliment I wish I took high school more seriously."

"What were you like?" he asked me

"An asshole." he furrowed his eyebrows "Enzo and I used to be the kids that pulled the fire alarms mid class period and skip class to smoke." his jaw dropped "When our dads found out god you could only imagine the trouble we were in."

He chuckled "I would have had a crush on you though. The hot stoner." I smiled 

"I would have bullied you." he rolled his eyes and I giggled "But I would have liked you secretly." I kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear "I would have fucked you in those locker rooms." I saw his eyes widened and I smiled as I pulled away.

As the night went on we talked about random shit. Nick and I barley talked to each other directly. All we had in common was liking Ale and The Beatles. "I have to use the restroom I'll be right back" Ale said as he handed me his drink and made his way to the restrooms. 

I took another sip from my drink and turned my head to watch Ale walk away having zero intention of speaking to Nick. "Are you happy with him?"

I raised my eyebrow "Obviously"

"Do you love him."

I paused "What makes you think you have the right to ask me."

"I'm just curious." he sipped his drink "You know, since he still loves me."

My jaw clenched "Oh yeah did he tell you that or are you just insane?"

"He doesn't have to tell me. You can tell when we speak there's still something there. The way he smiles when he sees me...or chuckles when I talk about us back in high school."

I gripped my glass so hard I thought it would break "You know you're fucking annoying."

"Gray" he stepped closer to me "I'm just waiting for you to fuck up so I can step in."

"Be careful because the only thing I'll fuck up is you." I leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear "Don't forget what I do for a living. Killing you will just be a fun Saturday afternoon activity so don't you ever think about trying anything with Ale."

"You wouldn't kill me."

"Wanna bet."

"You won't." he stepped back "Because if you do he'll never even look at you again. Those nightmares of his dad will turn to you." My jaw clenched. I was fuming "Not to mention Bella and Matt hating you and if they hate you, you lose Enzo as well. You'd lose everything Gray."

"The only reason I haven't kicked your ass is because of Ale. I know I don't have to worry about him running to your sorry ass. He's happy with me and...I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy to fuck him right and make him feel things he's never felt before. Back the fuck off Nick. I may not kill you but I can do a hell of a lot worse to make you wish I just ended you."

"I know guys like you Gray...you will do something to ruin this relationship." He turned his hand so I did too and when I did I saw Ale walking back "When you guys are done...I'll make sure to send you a wedding invite."

"Fuck you" I took a deep breath knowing I wouldn't be able to say anything else before Ale actually reached us but I just needed to get the last word in. As Ale walked back over he looked at me concerned 

"You okay Love?." I was so furious I couldn't bring myself to even act like I didn't want to punch a wall 

"No, I think I have something I feel awful." I put my drink down and looked at Nick who was smiling "Let's go."

"Yeah okay let's go."Ale turned to Nick "I'll text you." Nick nodded and Ale turned back to me putting an arm around my shoulder leading me out of the club. When I turned my head  back towards Nick he smirking at me. I will kill him. "I'll get you something to eat when we get back to your place you just go get in a cold shower" Ale said softly and suddenly I relaxed. I finally took a calming breath and kissed his cheek
