(Iris' pov)
I got outside the mall and threw my bags in my trunk. I climbed inside and put my head on the steering wheel just as Grayson got in. "Why'd you run over here I thought you were still gonna stop at hollister?" He asked me. I looked up at him and saw his dough eyes. "I..I" I stuttered. "Stop its okay I'm pretty sure I know why you came over here you thought I'd see how much you liked me." He smirked. I made an annoyed face," or maybe just because I'm hungry I wanna eat something not in the mall." I said while driving out of the mall parking lot.
We pulled up to the McDonald's drive thru and Grayson seemed happy I didn't go to some proper food place. We both got a mcchicken and fries with sodas. From there I drove to the beach. He looked at it questioningly. I sighed. "Whenever I feel like I really need thinking time I come here. I found this spot behind some rocks that no one knows about. I've never showed anyone but your already in the car so why not." He smiled. "Or maybe cuz you feel that comfortable with me." He smirked. I rolled my eyes playfully,"maybe"
I got a blanket from the backseat and he grabbed the food and we walked. Behind some vines that looked like they were stuck to a rock but weren't there was a tunnel that we walked through and there was a small spot with almost completely white sand and where the ocean was crystal clear. I set out the blanket and we sat down. Just as we started eating Grasyon started," so how is it, doesn't it get tiring?" He asked me. "What do you mean?" I smiled. "Pretending 24/7" he answered. I gave him a confused look. "I'm not following what do I pretend about," I said. He widened his eyes. "Everything. Literally everything. You pretend that when we touch you don't feel the same spark I do. You pretend you don't have feelings for me. You distract yourself by pretending to love my brother to keep yourself from what you know you really want." He said smirking. "Actually I do love Ethan. And I don't have those types of feelings for you. I care about you Gray just not in that way." "Uh huh" he laughed stuffing his face with fries. I felt myself get red. I hated how well he knew me. How he always knew when I was lying. "Iris," he started. "Mhm?" "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life but holding on to someone you know your just gonna eventually let go of is selfish and I think you know that." "Well I don't plan on letting go of Ethan but thanks for the advice." I smiled sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and pinched my cheek wrinkling his nose adorably. "What?" I laughed. "Your gonna get sooo worn out. All this faking. I'm scared about what it's going to do to you because one day your just gonna ask yourself why you waited so long." I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and walked towards the ocean and just stared at it silently hoping Grayson would get the hint that I didn't wanna talk. Before i knew it though he came behind me and grabbed my waist but not as some cute scene. Ohhhh no. He pulled me with him into the water and we fell in as the waves dragged us deeper in. "Grayson I can't swim!" I yelled. He stopped laughing right away. "Hang on I'm coming!" He yelled swimming towards me as fast as possible. He put me on his back and swam me to shore. "I'm so sorry I had no idea Iris!" He yelled clearly feeling awful. I broke out in laughter. He made a pissed off face. "Payback for dragging me in. I didn't feel like swimming back so I got you to." I smiled big. "If you wanted to be on my back in the water that bad you shoulda just told me baby girl," he winked. I rolled my eyes. "Ugh this is all wet," he complained taking his shirt off. I stared at his abs intensely and up to his sculpted jawline ending at his perfect face. When I got to his eyes he was staring back at me and I got hot and red as I realized that he just saw me completely checking him out. He smirked and looked at my torso with his eyebrows raised. I gave him a confused look but then gasped as I looked down. My bra was clearly visible through my soaked white shirt. I turned even more red and he laughed. "Grayson this isn't funny hand me the blanket." "Why don't you just strip, I did." I furrowed my eyebrows. "I only have a bra on." "It's the same thing as a bikini isn't it?" I nodded my head thinking about it. I finally realized he was right and that it was only a bra because that's the name it's given. I took off my shirt and instantly regretted it once I saw his hazel green eyes checking me out. He walked up to me quickly and.....
