the next few days of work were the same as always. but Thursday was different. i was on my lunch break that was an hour long when i got a text from Grayson.
Grayson: come to starbucks!
me: what? now?
Grayson: yeah... the one near your work.
i made my way down the building and passed James on the way. he asked me where i was going so i told him i was going to Starbucks to meet someone. he asked me if it was Grayson and i said maybe with a smile on my face. he then said that i fancied him but i was just messing with James to get on his nerves. i made sure i took my bag and my laptop with me incase we were there for a while and i needed to do some work. i opened the doors to Starbucks when i arrived there from walking to see that there was a group of girls getting pictures with him. they all screamed out Grayson when he took his phone out to film a snapchat of them all. i walked over to say hi and one of them must have recognised me from the Instagram picture.
"oh my god! you're Ava right?" they said walking over to me.
"yeah..." i said with my accent
"you're British!" one of them shouted
me and Grayson started laughing. i went and stood by him to say hi. he put his phone away and said that he loved everyone and some shouted 'are you guys dating!?' and we both said no and then laughed. the crowd broke away and we both went inside to get a drink.
"I've got about 40 minutes until i need to go back..." i said to him
"pressure!" he said whilst laughing.
the queue wasn't too long and we both stood there waiting.
"what ya gonna get?" he asked me
"probs a latte... i need caffeine!" i said jokingly.
"haha... im gonna get a frappe..." he said whilst looking at the board.
"white girl much..." i said with a smile on my face.
"ahh... your in Starbucks for a start..." he then said
we then continued to one up each other with the white girl comments.
"can i have a grande latte and a mocha frappe please." Grayson said to the barista.
"can i get you anything else?" she said back
"uh... no thanks" he said looking at the food.
i looked around for a place to sit. the place was almost completely full
"gray... there aren't any seats.." i said to him quietly.
"oh... uh, over there" he said pointing at the stalls. we waited to get our drinks and then went to sit over at the stalls.
"i want you to tell me everything..." i said out of the blue
"like what?" he said as he took a sip of his drink.
"all about this vine thing...and your 3 million followers..." i then said back to him.
"well..." he said, he started talking to me all about what his job is and why he moved to la and why he doesn't go to a public school. i listened very carefully because i was intrigued by his life. 40 minutes passed but it only felt like a second. i got a text from James saying that i had to come back because we had a meeting in 10 minutes.
"I'm really sorry... i have to go back, I've got a meeting about a housing development in 10 minutes... ill see you soon yeah?" i said to him in a sympathetic tone.
"of course... ill text you later..." he then said
i headed out of the doors and made my way out of Starbucks.
"don't break his heart..." a girl said to me as i walked along the road. she was sat on a bench waiting for a bus.
"what?... break who's heart?" i said back to her,
"Grayson... hes a good guy... don't break him." she said to me in a sympathetic tone,
"i don't plan on... but i can't break his heart as I'm not dating him..." i then said back to her still standing there.
"I've read enough fan fiction, trust me... i know how this ends," she then said in a know it all tone.
"i have to go but thanks for this chat..." i said this and headed back to work. how weird was that. i had one of the Dolan twin fans give me lessons of life and I'm probably older than her.
i told James everything. he said it was defiantly an uber fan trying to convince you to leave Grayson alone so she can have him forever. he made me laugh. i loved talking to James about all of this stuff. he always made laugh because he comes up with some of the stupidest of things that could make sense in another context.
"grayson said he was a youtuber right?"
"yeah..." i said back to james, "so?"
"lets look him up!" james said excitedly
"ok..." i opened up my laptop and typed his name into the search bar. the first thing that came up was his twitter. i noticed that ha had tweeted a pic of me drinking my coffee. i didn't even know he took that. he had captioned it 'with her for starbs'. he had also tweeted 'alone now (sad face)'. the second thing that came up was his youtube which i clicked on. i had noticed that he had loads of youtube subscribers. was i friends with a famous person?
"oh my god! look at him here!" james said pointing at the thumbnail to one of his videos on the dolan twin channel
"i see it... he is kinda hot" i said back with a smile on my face
"oh! you like him now!" he then said as if 'i told you so'
"i never said that... i just said he's good looking, does not mean that I'm in love with him... were friends, end of". James tutted and carried on looking through the videos. i told him that I've always thought he was hot and that what we found makes no difference.
