Nightingale

The car ride is silent and tense as Grayson flies down the road his grip on the wheel is so tight his knuckles are white and every vein is sticking out on his arms. I cling to the door tightly with my eyes squeezed shut praying for the ride to be over and thankfully it is as the car jerks to a stop.

"Oh thank god" I breathe in relief but it's cut short as Grayson opens my door with way to much force "don't make me ask you to get out" he warns when I don't immediately get out of the car. Upon hearing that I fly out of the car but stop when I realize we aren't at the dorms. Not happy with the fact that I've froze Grayson picks me as if I weigh nothing "Grayson!" I shriek grabbing on to him "don't call me that" he says angrily walking into the house "that's your name" I tell him confused as he carries me straight up the stairs and into his bedroom "not to you" he grunts laying me on his bed climbing on top of me burying his face in my neck inhaling.

"Wh..what ar..are you doing?" I stammer completely freezing "I'm not gonna hurt you" he assures me "I just wanna lay with you" he tells me inhaling again adjusting himself so none of his body weight is on me. We lay like that for a while before I finally get the courage to talk "Grayso" "don't call me that" he growls into my neck lightly biting me "but that's your name" I practically moan "like I said, not to you" he answers pulling his head out of my neck to look at me "what am I supposed to call you then?" I ask curious "you call me Gray" he says not breaking eye contact "but you just freaked out on Sofia for calling you that" "because you are the only one allowed to call me that" he says seriously "why?"

"Because you're mine" he tells me matter of factly. "I'm not" I refute "you are, you just don't know it yet" he tells me kissing my cheek "we don't even know each other" I tell him panicking "relax baby" he whispers placing a kiss just below my ear "there's no need to panic" "I can't.. he'll find out" Danny always said he'd find out if I did anything with someone else and that it would be the last thing I ever did and I fully believed that, I bet he's been going crazy since I left a cold shiver runs down my spine at the thought of seeing Danny again.

"Shh I'll never let anyone hurt you" he promises kissing that spot on my neck making the cold shivers melt "you can't" "I can, I'll fuck up anyone that even tries to hurt you" he says kissing that spot agin "and when I find out who the fuck did that to you I'll kill the fucker" he tells me with so much conviction in his voice that I have no doubt he would. "I.." "you don't have to tell me if you're not ready" he assures running his nose up my neck followed by his tongue "Gray" I breathe grabbing his arm in shock and excitement.

How does he do that, normally I would be revolted at someone doing that, I couldn't stand when Danny would touch me but with Grayson it sends all kinds of sparks and warm tingles through my whole body. "I know baby" he says rubbing his nose across my cheek before placing a sweet kiss on my cheek "do you want to shower before we rewrap your ribs?" I stare at him in shock "Gabby told me how much pain you've been in today" "traitor" I grumble Grayson laughs climbing off the bed reaching his hand out to me pulling me up "go shower; I'm gonna order pizza."

"You just ate" "I didn't actually get to touch my food" he grumbles "and that was hours ago, it's time for dinner, and yes you're eating" he adds leaving no room for discussion "now hurry up" he says walking out the door "so bossy" "I heard that" he calls from the other side of the door "of course you did" I call back walking into the bathroom.

I take my time in the shower thoroughly enjoying the hot water. I always had to rush before Danny would shut the hot water off and that was only if I was lucky enough for the hot water to have been on in the first place  "foods here" Grayson knocks on the bathroom door "just a minute" I call hurrying out of the shower only to realize I don't have anything to change into "Gray" I call hoping he's still in ear shot "yeah" he answers to my relief .
