The Captains

Chapter 23

"Grayson are you sure we went the right way?" I asked with my feet on the dashboard as I another Welcome to Georgia sign. "We're off our time schedule."

"Traffic. Go back to sleep. It's ten in the morning and you normally don't get up until noon." Grayson said keeping his eyes on the road

I rolled my eyes  "Your music and singing woke me up. So blame yourself."

"Lets play a game called. Boyfriend and girlfriend asks each other questions that they want honest answers to. You go first." Grayson said driving

I nodded "Okay. What part of my body do you love the most?"

"Ass-ppirtation in your eyes."He said as I gave him a playful glare "No, but honestly. Your eyes. We both have blue eyes, but I have more of an electric blue and you have this gorgeous sky blue eye color. I love when we watch TV and you just stare at the TV. I stare at your eyes the whole time and I enjoy it. Now my question for you is what did you think the first time you met me? Be honest."

"I thought you were the most arrogant and conceded boy that walked the Earth. That signature smirk drove me crazy and I thought you were cute. But I would never ever let you see that." I said looking at him "Would you be my knight in shinning armor if I were a damsel in distress?"

Grayson snickered. "Trick question. Aspen Jane would never be a damsel in distress. Now does size matter?"

"Well your size is the only one that matters." I said with a wink "Nah you're good or big. What color underwear am I wearing?"

"Those tie dye underwear from Victoria Secret I put in your stocking." Grayson said correctly

I gave him a side eye. "Did you watch me get changed?"

He winked and said nothing. "You're so fucking cheeky and kinky at the same time. Then again I love it."

"Read me the last text message you sent." Grayson said keeping his eyes on the road as I pulled my phone out. The last person I texted was Madison. Oh gosh.

"L-o-l no! We did not sleep together, together last night. We just slept in his bed and cuddled. Which is fine by me, because he sleeps with his shirt off and he has killer abs. He's the cutest sleeper ever you should see his face and his little pouty lip. Then feeling his arm around you and being against his chest is fuckin amazing. I'm about to get changed now, because Grayson is in his bathroom. I'll text you later maddie paddie." I said reading aloud "That was to Madison."

"So you watch me when I'm asleep you watch me?" Grayson asked

I nodded my head "My record is thirty two minutes. It helps me calm down before I fall asleep. It's not any different from you watching me while we watch a movie or something."

"True. I have a question that I want us to both answer. When did you realize you loved me?" Grayson asked

I always knew it. I just didn't want to admit it. "Probably the night before the wedding. I always knew it, but I could never admit it to myself. Mostly cause I was scared of getting hurt and letting down my guard. I don't know if I ever told you this, but the summer I left Pittsburgh I made a vow to never trust or get close to anyone especially a boy. You know since my dad and everything. But goddammit Grayson Cooper you know how to make someone break a vow except a wedding vow. I'm thankful for that though." 

"I realized I liked you the first time I met you. When I saw you run you had the biggest smile and the nicest twinkle of real aspiration in your eye. But I wanted to ruffle your feathers to see what you were really like, so that's why I yelled that. And then when you told me I was just liked the rest of them, I knew that I was gonna make you somehow be my friend. Cause you weren't like the other girls and over time you realized I wasn't like the other boys. Right?" Grayson asked
