too good to be true {grant gustin}

the fourth of july

i wake up to the ding of my phone on the dresser. groggily, i reach over and look at the notification, but not before checking the time-7:30am

the amazing grant
|6:45 am| happy fourth riles!
|7:00 am| wake up sleepy head :-)
|7:10 am| you must've had a long day.
|7:30 am| well text me when you wake up :-)

a smile spreads unconsciously across my face.

me
|7:32 am| well i'm up now :-)
i hopped out of bed and to the bathroom to go brush my teeth. my phone dings again as i finish.
the amazing grant
|7:40 am| finally! come overrr
me
|7:40 am| let me get ready, be there in 20
the amazing grant
|7:41 am| 20 seconds? wooo
me
|7:41 am| minutes. 20 minutes, gosh grant :/ now stop texting me or it's going to take me even longer!
the amazing grant
|7:42 am| okay okay, go do your thing. see ya in 20... minutes ;-)

i laugh and set my phone down, undressing and hopping in the shower, letting the hot water slide down my back. 7 minutes later (against my will, i wanted to stay in there forever) im out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, looking for a suitable outfit. i decide on a maroon long-sleeve crop top with fireworks on it and high waisted black skinny jeans. then i go and blow-dry and straighten my hair; after that, a light coat of mascara goes on. thats pretty much the extent of my everyday makeup.

i walk out of the bathroom and get my black vans out of the closet.
i slide them on and grab my purse, then my phone. 7:45 am. wow im early.

me
|7:45 am| i'm on my way over

he doesn't text back so i walk out and shut the door behind me. i continue down the hall and stop at 408. i pause for a moment, reminding myself that this isn't a date, its just two friends hanging out, and then i knock twice.

i hear a door open inside and then a few seconds later a shirtless grant opens the door. my eyes widen but i quickly stop. his hair is glistening with water. i look him in the eye, however this was very hard considering he had a very nice chest. i raise an eyebrow.

"oh uh sorry, i just got out of the shower. wasn't expecting you to be here for another 10 minutes." he says, putting his hand on the back of his neck, showing me his toned arms. i revert my attention to his face.

"sorry. you want me to come back later?" i laugh.

"no! i mean, come in." he says, cheeks turning a light shade of pink.

i smile and walk in.

"welcome to mi casa." he says closing the door behind me. "i'm just going to go put a shirt on now. make yourself at home." he walks into the bathroom as i sit on the couch in the middle of the room. his apartment was the same as mine, although he had a large balcony.

grant enters the living room wearing a blue shirt with red and white writing that says superman.

"so what do you want to do?" i ask as he walks over to me.

"i have an Xbox Kinect if you wanna play." he says.

"sounds fun."

"if you consider me beating your ass fun." he smirks as he turns on the console and sets up.

"oh its on man." i say. there was no way i was going to let him win.
