We drive back to there place to freshen up before our little adventure. I call up Hannah to see if she'd wanna join me.
"Hey girl!"
"Hey you, you're not busy right now are you?" I hope she's not because it'd be great if she joined us.
"Nope, why? Are you doing anything?"
"Yeah, Gray, Ethan and I are gonna find a place to chill and hang... Come with?"
"Uhh absolutely! What time should I be at yours?"
I pause.
"... Oh no, I'm not at mine... Come over to Ethan's and Grayson's place in about 20 minutes?" Why have I gone shy all of a sudden?
"Ooooh check you out..." She laughs.
"I'll be there really soon."
We hang up and I walk into the kitchen and see Grayson sat on the table.
"Hey, where's E?"
He looks up at me.
"He went to change... Again. He probably wants to impress you."
A laugh comes out unexpectedly.
"E doesn't do things to impress people you goof." He laughs with me.
"Definitely not..." He sounds really sarcastic.
Since when would Ethan do anything to impress me or anyone for that matter. In all honesty, he doesn't even need to try because it comes so naturally to him. You know, him being hotter than hell even when he's just standing or sitting.
I walk to the fridge and open it. I need a cold drink. I feel somebody stand behind me. Ethan should really stop sneaking up behind me like this.
"Ethan...you know I hate you sneaking up on me-"
I turn around and see Grayson. I'm shook. What the fuck. Okay, he's standing way too close to me. I look around the kitchen and then at him.
"Grayson, what are you doing?" I fake smile.
"Just grabbing a drink..." He stares at me way too long and smirks before reaching over my shoulder and grabs a bottled water. Okay, that was way too weird.
I move from under his arm and walk into the living room. Maybe I'm overthinking this but he was standing way to close to me. I mean he could've just asked for a drink instead of just standing behind me like that. Okay perhaps it was nothing, I'm just over analysing it... Yeah.
The door bell rings. Thank god, it's probably Hannah. I just had the weirdest moment with Grayson back there. I open the door and Hannah screams.
"Hey girl!" I drag her inside and gesture for her to be quite. She looks at me all confused.
"What..." Okay I won't tell her just yet, she'll laugh and think I'm exaggerating again. Ethan comes downstairs and my jaw drops. Wow Mia, so classy. He literally can't look even more perfect right now, he looks really good in grey.
"Where's Gray?" He looks around.
At this point I can't even form words. He's a goddess.
"He's in the kitchen, waiting." Hannah says looking at me. I still look at him with awe and he notices. Great. He gives me a smirk as if he knows exactly what I'm thinking.
He walks out of the living room and calls for Grayson. We all head out and drive with no destination in mind. Road trips with them are my favourite things to do. But throughout our drive I catch a glimpse of Grayson looking at me through the rare view mirror. I told you I wasn't exaggerating. Thankfully Hannah breaks the awkward silence.
"Put on some tunes guys!"
Ethan uses the aux cord and we roll the windows down. I sit in the middle and reach over to grab Ethan's hand and he holds it so tight and kisses it. I lean my head on the passengers seat and stare at the surroundings in front of me. Hannah is singing a loud to every song that comes on and we join her and laugh.
An hour later we find the most beautiful spot. It looks like a pumpkin patch or something. There's so much greenery around us and it smells like pure nature. How do they even find places like this... It's breath taking.
We park our car near by and begin wondering around. There were a few occasions where Ethan and I would hold hands and I swear it felt like we were a couple of something. We haven't really spoken about what we are or if it's official.It gets a little warm out and I take off my jacket. I tousle my hair a little to make it look messy. As I'm doing this I see Ethan stare at my chest. I kind of like it though. His eyes never leave it... I look down hoping he doesn't notice and realise how visible my hard nipples are through this shirt. Now I know why he was starring. I laugh on the inside and give him a smile. He looks away and I think I see him smirk. I stand next to him and lean my head on his shoulder and he plants a soft kiss on my forehead. My self conscious screams like a little girl.
I take a picture of him leaning against a wooden fence and he gives me the cutest smile. Oh man, His smile gives me butterflies and I want to cry just from starring at him. I'm so lame but I don't care. We both take in our surroundings before joining Hannah and Grayson.
I have no idea why Grayson has been acting weird around me. Honestly, I don't really feel okay with it. I mean Grayson is such a goof ball and he does flirt a lot but he would never do that with me. He knows how I feel about Ethan. I try to forget about it and enjoy the rest of my day and we watch the sunset.
