The Story of Us || g.d.

~26~

"Do I look bad?" I look down at my dress. It was black with the top lace shear and the skirt was a lot longer in the back than the front. I wore gold heels and left my hair wavy down.

"Gosh, no." Ally giggles and goes to hug me before stopping herself. "I cannot ruin my masterpiece."

"Okay, well let's go and see if Cameron is ready." I walk out of my room and go down the hall to see Cam looking in the mirror and tying a tie.

"Did I ever tell you your brother is hot?" Ally whispers.

I look at her weirdly. "Shut up."

"Thanks." Cam turns around and winks.

I roll my eyes and perk up when I hear the doorbell ring. I know it's Hayes, so I go to get it until Cameron shoves by me and sprints down the stairs. It's a lot easier for him to run when I've got heels on.

"Hello Hayes." Cameron greets Hayes as I'm trying to get down the stairs.

"Cam. Where's Trinity?" I peek over the railing and see he's in a nice tux, much like Cameron's and a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

"Ah she decided to go with someone else." Cam smirks.

"Cameron Alexander!" I scold and finish making the journey to the door.

"Wow, you look beautiful." Hayes grins.

"Thanks." I smile and take the flowers to put them in a vase. "You don't look too bad yourself, Grier."

"Thanks." Nash slides next to Hayes and winks. Hayes shoves him and rolls his eyes.

"We ready to go?" Cameron asks us with a smile.

"Yep." I nod.

"Ally, lock the door when you leave!" Cameron yells and we earn a grunt back.

I laugh and follow everyone out and into the limo waiting for us in front of the building.

The ride was boring: it consisted of the boys fooling around and me texting Ally about what was going on. When we finally arrived at our destination, I stepped out of the limo first and saw everyone in extravagant dresses and tailored suits. 

Hayes comes next to me and holds out his arm. I wrap my hand in the crease of his elbow and  walk with him inside.

"Darling!" My father rushes over to me and Cameron with a smile. "Come with me and we will sit at our table."

We follow and I notice a couple other families around different tables. I had no idea my father was in such a huge company.

Hayes pulls out my seat, so I thank him as he sits beside me.

"So, Nash and Hayes, how is your father?" My dad makes small talk.

I divert my attention away from the conversation and look at all the other people. There's tons of people here and from my observation, they're all really rich.

"Trinity?" My dad calls my name.

"Hm?" I look back at him.

"I asked about that boy Grayson." He raises his eyebrows.

I sneak a glance at Cam before sighing. "What about him?"

"He couldn't accompany you tonight?" Dad crosses his arms.

I frown as my eyebrows furrow. I swear he told me I couldn't take him. "You said I couldn't go with him?"

"I was your second choice after that fuckboy?" Hayes looks at me.

"What? No." I shake my head.

Hayes stands up and storms off to the bathrooms.

"Thanks Dad." I glare at him and try to follow him. "Hayes." I call, almost falling in these heels. "Benjamin!"

He stops suddenly, turning to face me with a scowl. "That's not my name."

"Sure it is." I roll my eyes.

"Why did you pick Grayson?" He bites his lip.

"Because? I don't know." I admit.

He leans forward and presses his lips against mine, pushing me back against the wall. When I open my eyes, I see a photographer walking away. I swear, if he took a picture of that, I'm in deep shit.

"I like you." He smiles.

"Hayes..." I trail. "I'm not sure if I'm over Grayson."

"Okay. Well, when you figure it out, I will be here." Hayes shrugs.

"Let's go back to the table." I nod.

________

Not much happened after that. We ate our food and had to listen to different speeches from several people. I still can't get over the fact that my father would bring up Grayson when he purposely made me go with Hayes. He's a good friend, it's just now I know he wants more. 

I sigh out of relief when Cameron and I finally make it back to the apartment. I can't wait to flop into my bed and fall into a deep slumber.

Cameron puts the keys on the table and starts to make himself some food, so I just tell him I'm going to my room. I flick the switch on and instantly scream.

Cam runs up the stairs, frantically asking. "What?"

I shake my head when Cam comes back up the stairs. "Sorry. I saw a spider but I killed it."

"Okay." Cam sighs and shakes his head when he goes back down the stairs.

I bite my lip and close my bedroom door behind me, smiling at Grayson and laying down next to him in my bed.

"You look amazing, I just wish it was me beside you." Gray announces.

"Yeah, me too." I lean on my side and look him in the eyes. I might as well tell him before he finds out. "Hayes kissed me."

"I know." He moves hair out of my face.

"What? I thought you'd have a different reaction than that. How did you find out?" I sit up fully now.

"It's on Twitter." He shrugs. "I'm just glad you told me. The way you're acting right now is kind of telling me you don't feel the same way back to him."

I nod and stand back up. "I'm gonna take a shower. Don't leave, even if Cameron tries to kick you out."

"Okay." Gray chuckles.

I smile and go into the bathroom and undress, turning the water on and washing all the makeup off. Once I'm done, I step out and wrap a towel around myself and a separate for my hair. I walk out into my room and look for a pair of pajamas.

"Are you gonna change out here?" Grayson asks from the bed.

"No." I turn around with the pajamas in my hand and wink at him.

"Well then." He mumbles as I go back into the bathroom to change. I leave my hair down after I've towel dried it and turn my light off before climbing into bed. I snuggle into Grayson's chest and soon feel his arm wrap around me.

"I'm sorry." He whispers.

"I know." I close my eyes and soon drift off into sleep.
