Friends with benefits

Chapter 21

Well I had an interesting day today. I was stuck in a shelter in place at school for 2 hours because there were gun threats and now my school is on the local news so yeah what an interesting day

UNEDITED
Abby's POV

Today is the day Grayson's coming over to hang out.

I decided to move on from him since we should be nothing more than just friends. Besides I have Derek now.

I pulled my car into the Parking lot at the Starbucks Grayson wanted to meet at. He sure does love his Starbucks.

I walked inside and saw him sitting at a table in the corner. He was on the phone but instantly hung up when he saw me.

A huge smile appeared on his face.

"Hey abs" he greeted me with a big hug. I never get tired of his hugs.

"How have you been?" He asked like the whole thing a few weeks ago never happened.

"I'm okay. How about you, how's your girlfriend?"

"I broke up with her" he took a sip of his drink.

A part of me hoped I still had a chance

"What why?"

"I don't know I just want to wait till the right girl comes into my life" he shrugged.

"Oh that's a reasonable answer"

"So tell me how's your dating life going?" He learned forward on his elbows

I shrugged "I met a guy a few weeks ago I guess we hit it off pretty well"

"That's great abs. I'm so happy for you"

I gave him a small smile.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked changing the subject

"I don't know I was thinking maybe lunch then maybe the movies"

"Sounds perfect!"

My phone started to ring.

"I need to take this I'll be right back" I got up from the table and walked outside.

"What do you want Payton?"

"Gee not even a hello"

"I'm kind of busy get straight to the point"

"Okay well since next week is moms birthday I was thinking we could go over and surprise her"

"I think I could make that work. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to Grayson"

"Ooooo you guys back together again"

"We're just friends" and with that I hung up.

"Sorry about that" I sat back down.

"It's fine"

Me and Grayson talked about everything from school to how my sister broke Ethan's heart by cheating on him, by the time our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard it was already 2 o'clock.

"We should get going the movie starts at 2:45" he looked at his phone.

We stood up and walked to our cars.

"Which movie theater is it?" I asked

"The one near the mall" he opened his car door.

"Okay I know where that is just drive behind me"

He nodded and got in his car.

The ride there wasn't that long. 20 minutes at the most.

We pulled into the parking lot just before 2:30.
