Can we all just laugh at this picture of Ethan sleeping? Lol
-----------------------------------------
| Grayson's POV |
It's was August 13th and Ethan still wasn't doing well. I went in his room to go check on him.
"Dude, you still not up to go?"
"Yeah-" he started coughing a lot. I mean, a lot. "Sorry man, you're on your own."
Frank had honked the company tuck outside, it was time to head out.
"Bye Ethan! Feel better." My mom left on Tuesday, so he was home alone living in his own mucus. Bleh.
I hopped in the car and we headed off to a few client's houses to do the usual. Last stop was Alex's house. A name I couldn't forget.
As we pulled up I looked at Frank, "obviously Ethan isn't here today, do you wanna come with or am I on my own again?"
"All you buddy."
Here goes nothing. I rang the doorbell and it was Alex.
"Oh hey! Where's the other one?" She put her hand over her mouth.
"Ethan? He is sick. Just me today."
I totally just realized. I have her all to myself. She was already in a bathing suit wrapped up in a towel, so I knew she would be out there with me.
"Aw poor thing, well come on, let's go out there."
She turned on Jack and Jack's "How We Livin" while she laid her towel back out.
She put her hand above her eyebrows to block the sun, "do you need help now that Ethan isn't here?"
"It's ok, this is my job, I used to work without him." I squinted my eyes from the beating sun.
"I insist. I feel awful that you have to work for my family and you're probably my age. That doesn't seem right."
"I'm 15, are you?"
"Yes actually." She walked over to me and grabbed the net.
"Oh I know what this does, I can totally help you." She turned to smile at me.
"Are you sure your mom won't get mad or something?"
"Positive. Just let me."
"Okay, okay. But you decided to."
I looked down and let out a smile.
We were jamming out to her music and sang along as we were cleaning. She was so fun to be around.
I noticed her back was started to get red, maybe this is my chance to make a move. "Hey, Alex, your back is starting to get a sun burn. Do you need me to put sunscreen in it?"
"Oh thank you! And sure, I probably can't reach."
I pumped the lotion into my hand and massaged it onto her back. It was so warm and smooth. She started giggling, it was so cute.

Luckily, Grayson noticed I was starting to get a sunburn. He rubbed sunscreen on for me, when he touched me I got goosebumps. He was so muscular and strong it felt so relaxing.
I honestly don't know how I feel about him. He is my age but I barely know him. I totally know he has a crush on me, but it's not like he goes to my school or anything.
We finally finished cleaning the pool and I handed him the check plus tip.
"Thanks for teaching me your pool skills" I laughed.
"Hah, it was nothing." He fixed his hair and looked all flirty.
"Hopefully I'll learn more next time!"
"If you give me your number I can text you about it." He was blushing, but he was smooth.
"You got it", I grabbed a sharpie that was sitting next to my speakers and went to write in his arm.
"There you go, in permanent marker so you don't forget hah!"
I put the cap on and couldn't hold my laughter, I wrote it so big.
"Oh wowwww ok then!" We both burst out laughing until our stomachs started cramping.
"I've gotta get back to my apartment. I'll see you soon!"
He has an apartment?? He's 15!!
"Alright then, see ya!" I gave him a friendly wave.

Grayson walked in the door and I was still in bed coughing my guts out.
"Grayson, come here."
He walked through the door way and leaned against the wall, "yeah? What's up?"
"What took you so long?"
"Oh. Alex and I made some fun out of cleaning the pool. I got her number dude!"
I sat up, "THE ONE TIME I DON'T GO?! SERIOUSLY?"
"Sorry bro, don't you have a thing with Alyssa though?"
"Yeah, but I don't see Alyssa in a bikini twice a week!" I sarcastically snapped back.
"I see your point. Just magically cure yourself before we go next time."
"You can count on it." I laid back down and fell back to sleep.
