Both of Us ♤ Hayes Grier

Chapter 32

Chapter idea by @JackieS408

PSA: I changed Jacob's name to Xavier because it just felt really weird to have Jacob as his name.

I put on a pair of black Kentucky basketball leggings, a grey shirt, grey Converse, and grabbed my white Nike Windbreaker.

Hayes was hanging out with Aaron and Cameron in their room while the other guys were out doing whatever they were doing. I told them I was hanging out with an old friend tonight because no one but Hayes and Cameron know about Xavier, and I don't really feel like explaining myself.

I walked out of the door and skipped down the steps.

I met Xavier in the lobby and we left the hotel.

"I'm honestly kinda nervous to see this movie." He said to me "Why?" I laughed "I love horror movies and wanted to see this one, I just hope it's not gory like the others." He admitted "It's like the third in the series where everyone dies. It's going to be gory. Not like Evil Dead gory, but.. Gory." "Ew. Evil dead was probably one of the most messed up horror movies I've ever seen." "Yeah... I hated that." I admitted.

We walked into the outlet mall and to the movie theatre.

He bought us tickets and popcorn and we both walked into the theatre and sat down in the back row.

The movie was pretty intense for the most part, but we got kicked out for "excessive talking" Even though it wasn't even us, it was the people next to us.

But you know how some people in America are; Always wanna put down a black kid for breathing.

But I'm not going to lie, I kind of wanted to leave and I think he did too.

We left the theatre and walked around the mall for a while.

We were in the middle of a conversation when I saw Cameron, Hayes, and Aaron walking out of H&M. They didn't notice us, but if they did I know my good time would be ruined.

"Hey, can we go into PINK?" I asked because it's the opposite direction of where they were going. "Sure." He shrugged.

We went to PINK and I forgot the real reason we were there. I got so caught up in all of the clothes and bras and panties. Xavier didn't seem to mind though. He helped me pick out clothes and point out sales and stuff... I'm thankful that he was there.

I was getting all of my stuff rung up at the cash register with Xavier right by my side when the lady behind the desk told me my total.

It was a hella lot of money, but I've been saving up for a day like this.

I saw Xavier grab his wallet out of his back pocket and pull out his credit card.

"What are you doing?" I asked "Paying for your stuff." He said in a duh voice.

"Thank you so much, but I saved up for this. Plus, that's a lot of money." "I know." He said while continuing to give the cashier his card."

"If you do this I'm going to feel really guilty." I said "It's fine. I promise," he handed the lady his credit card and she swiped it "The movie didn't go so well anyways, so I want to make it up to you." "You don't have to make anything up to me."

The cashier handed him his card back "Too late." He shrugged with a playful smile.

"You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it a lot. Thank you." I said with a slight smile "Don't mention it, and I wanted to do it."

He keeps getting nicer and nicer. It's killing me.

We we're walking around more, just talking and we had just come out of Foot Locker.

"Nicole!" I heard someone scream my name from behind me.

I looked back to see Cameron trying to catch up with the both of us.

"Dammit." I said under my breath.

"Hey Nicole, who's your friend?" He asked while walking up next to me "Cameron, this is Xavier, Xavier, this is Cameron." I introduced them.

"Hi. It's nice to meet you." Cameron said "Hi. It's nice to meet you too."

"Where are Aaron and Hayes?" I asked "They were right behind me, but I guess they couldn't keep up."

We all talked for a couple of minutes and Xavier and Cameron seemed to get along well.

"There you guys are." I heard Aaron's voice "Yeah, Cameron. You just ran off." "You guys were too slow." He protested

"Hey, Nicole, who's your friend?" Aaron asked "Oh this is Xavier, and, Xavier, this is Hayes and Aaron." I said while pointing to both of them. They all greeted each other and we walked around more, there was just a little more tension because of Hayes.

Hayes looked jealous the whole time. He looked intimidated by Xavier, but I guess he should because I honestly like Xavier better. Then, when he found out that Xavier bought me all of the stuff from PINK, looked really annoyed. I don't care about how much money he had on his card though, the fact that he took his time to take me to the movies and used his money to take me here then when things kind of got ruined tried to make it up. He succeeded, but I still feel kind of guilty.

We all walked down a few blocks and arrived back at our hotel.

After all of the guys walked in I turned to Xavier and thanked him for the fun night.

"We should definitely try to do this again. I had a lot of fun." He smiled "Yeah, that would be fun. Thank you so much for everything." I stood up on my toes and kissed his cheek then walked inside of the hotel, hoping I didn't just ruin anything.

Xavier's POV

Not gonna lie, that's what I've been wanting this whole night.

Ok, I'm imagining Xavier as kinda like a jock, but not too much of a jock. Like, he's one of those white kids that dresses in windbreakers and Elite socks and stuff. Idk. That's just what I see
