In Repair

-CHAPTER SEVEN-

-LOLA'S P.O.V-

When we reached Starbucks Grayson went over and ordered his drink while i went to find a place to sit. I found a booth in the back of the shop facing away from everyone and sat down waiting for Grayson. After a few minutes of absentmindedly scrolling through instagram on my phone Grayson jumped down into the seat opposite me causing me to jump and flinch away from him, putting my hands in front of my face. His smiled dropped and he gave me a quizzical look but i just smiled hoping he wouldn't notice the blush that had crawled onto my cheeks and grabbed my hot chocolate out of his hands. Nice one he probably thinks you're fucked in the head now. The thought slipped into my head and i pushed it to the back of my mind  I sipped my hot chocolate slowly trying not to make eye contact with the boy sitting in front of me that same curious look in his eye. 

"Why did you just look like at me like i was about to kill you?" he joked around playfully. I faked a laugh and shrugged my shoulders changing the subject.

"So Grayson, tell me about yourself." He looked up at me taking a sip of his hot chocolate before speaking again

"Well, i have a twin brother, his name's Ethan and we're both 16, i have a older sister, her name's Cameron but she's away at college at the moment which sucks, i miss her a lot. Ummm oh and i have a pet parrot named Gizmo." I giggled at the goofy smile he had on his face when he mentioned Gizmo. 

"What about you? tell me about yourself." I hesitated trying to come up with something to say without mentioning too much about my personal life, he probably won't care anyway.

"Umm well there isn't really that much to know other than that i just moved here with my two brothers and mum." i looked down and stirred my lukewarm hot chocolate with my finger hoping he wouldn't ask about my dad. He smiled at me and opened his mouth to say something but stopped when his phone started to ring. He looked down at whoever it was and tensed up.

"I'm sorry i have to take this i'll be right back." I smiled and nodded at him and he slipped out of the booth and walked out of the door standing slightly to the side. I sat there admiring him for a minute when he all of sudden started slightly yelling into the phone. I turned away not wanting to invade. I looked down at my cup to take another sip of my hot chocolate only to find it empty, you shouldn't have drunk that, do you know how fat you're going to be? Grayson will be disgusted. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes trying to focus on something positive and when i opened them again i saw Grayson heading back over to the booth, he shot me a tight smile before sliding into the booth again. 

"Hey i have to go , family troubles..." He laughed through gritted teeth, his body tensed.

"...but do you want me to walk you home?" I told you he doesn't want to be around you.

"As long as you're sure it's okay." He smiled at me, his body now not as tense as it was.

"Of course it's fine, i wanna know more about you anyway." we stepped out of the booth and started to walk in the direction of my house.

As we rounded the corner to my street Grayson suddenly stopped walking, i stopped and turned around confused.

"Is this your street?" He asked me his face suddenly serious.

"um yeah my house is just a few along." He looked at me, a smirk playing on his lips and started walking ahead of me once again leaving me very confused. 

"Well it looks like i already met my new neighbor." My eyes widened as i realized who i was talking to, i thought he looked exactly like the boy from the window but just brushed it off as some weird coincidence. Wow i must be stupid for not figuring it out. 

Grayson's twin is the boy from the window. 

 I jogged to catch up with Grayson letting him lead us back home and acted as if i hadn't met his brother before. 

I stepped into the house and yelled out to mum to tell her that i was home and ran up the stairs to my room. I jumped on my bed and lay there thinking about the dinner we had tonight and i  heard my phone ping from in my pocket. I looked at who it was to find yet another unknown number.

Unknown number: Hey Lola it's grayson, i had lots of fun today, we should so hang out again :)

A smile made its way on my face and i texted him back before hopping into the shower and started getting ready for this dinner.
