The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 5

"Your gunna be hanging with Grayson?!" Julia exclaimed. I grabbed my phone and car keys, and said for the third time, "Yes." I was currently 10 minutes late to meet him at some restaurant. Why is it that I'm always late to things when I meet with cute boys? I have no idea.

"Awe it's just like the old days," she cooed. I stopped what I was doing, and gave her a weird look.

"Don't mention those days," I said, slightly giggling. She laughed also.

"Alright, I'll stop," she said. "But it's you and Grayson going out together. Doesn't that like...sound like something might happen?"

"What do you mean something might happen?" I asked her raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know...like...getting back together!"

"Woah, hold up. We are not getting back together. We're just friends, that's all," I stated.

"Uh huh. Okay honey," she winked. I just rolled my eyes.

"It's the truth. We're just going out to eat as friends. Just to catch up on some things," I told her.

"Oh yup," she said sarcastically, and I rolled my eyes once again. "If you keep rolling your eyes, they might fall out."

"Whatever, I'm leaving now." I said my quick few goodbyes to her, and I soon left. I walked out to the garage, and I got into my car. I looked at myself in the rear view mirror, and put on my brown sunglasses. I was currently wearing dark pink shorts, with a turquoise t-shirt, and brown sandals. I also had my makeup done as usual, and my hair done in its curly/wavy style. I soon put the address of the restaurant Grayson texted me into my phone, and I made it there in about another 8 minutes.

I parked my car in a parking lot near it, and I walked on the sidewalk towards the restaurant. I hate it when restaurants are in these kind of buildings. As I was walking, I saw someone sitting outside the restaurant at a table for two, whom I could tell was exactly Grayson. He was sitting there, looking down at his phone. I smiled a little to myself once I realized it was him.

I soon sat in the seat across from him, and he looked a little startled once he looked up at me. But a smile appeared on his face once he noticed it was me. "Hey," I told him with a small smile.

"Hey," he did the same thing back, and he put his phone down.

"Sorry I'm late, Julia was holding me up," I laughed.

"It's fine," he laughed. "But thanks for coming today."

"It's no problem," I smiled, and he did also. We talked a little after that, but a waitress soon came by to get our orders. We soon got back to our conversation after that, like nothing had interrupted us. "It's really nice here. Like sitting outside," I said.

"Yeah, I really like it," he replied. "I like coming here if I'm like stressed over something for work. I don't know, it just like calms me being in this area." He laughed a little.

"It seems like it does though," I said. "I should come over here and do my work for school." We both laughed. I then took a sip of my water, and I saw Grayson digging for something in his pocket. He then said, "I have something to show you."

"What is it?" I asked him, putting my water down. I soon saw him pull out a bracelet. But it just wasn't any bracelet, it was the one he got me for my birthday a few years ago...? I was in complete shock... He still has this bracelet?

It's hard to say this, but this bracelet is bringing back so many memories. The last time I caught attention of that bracelet was when we broke up, and I never saw it again, until now. It even brings me back a flashback from when we broke up...
