Chapter Six Waiting For You<3 A Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson Love Story

Chapter Six

The warm and rainy June turned into a steamy July. Greyson and Cody have been my neighbors for a month now. Almost everyday they come over and we hang out. Gisela sometimes joins our ridiculous times. I have grown extremely close to both of the guys and I consider them my best friends. We tell each other everything and anything and I know everything about the guys.

Today just Greyson is coming over. Cody got sick from falling in the pond yesterday. It's not a great idea to play tug of war in front of an algae infested pond.

I'm cleaning my room singing Paparazzi into a hairbrush when I hear the door open. Thinking its just my mom I continue singing. Suddenly I feel hands clamp my eyes shut. The hands pull me close to their body and I can feel their breathing through my spine. There's only one person I know who breathes as heavily as he does.

"Guess who?" Greyson attempts at a deep voice to disguise him. 

"Greyson" I say matter of factly. He lets go and I turn to face him smirking. 

He frowns at me. "How'd you know?"

"Because I'm your best friend." I tell him in a 'duh' tone, "And there's only one person who breathes like this," I imitate his breathing pattern and he feigns hurt. 

"Awww really? Dang it!" I nod and hop on my bed lying on my back. Paparazzi just finishes playing on my iPod. Greyson joins me.

"You know you're really good at singing that song. Even better than me." he informs me. 

"You're hilarious" I tell him sarcasm cemented into my voice. 

"No really. You could be a singer. I'll call Ellen and tell her about you." I shot up and shook my head. 

"Thanks but no thanks Greyson. I don't want to be a celebrity. I want to just live first, ya know? I mean like hanging out with my friends everyday, no schedules, a first boyfriend. Stuff like that." He sits up to face me, a puzzled look obvious on his lightly freckled face.

"Wait, you've never had a boyfriend?" Disbelief coats his melodious voice. 

"Yeah, why?"

He shakes his head and answers, "It's just your personality I amazing, you're all natural, you're not afraid of what people think about you, and you're beautiful. How can anyone beat perfect?"

Now it was my turn to be confused. Was he just being the sweet boy he always was or did he like me? I guess I would have to figure that out later. Instead I mask my uncertainty and smile. "Thanks Greyson, that was really sweet."

I hug him like I've done a thousand times before but this was different. When we touch there is a feeling I've felt only one other time in my life. It seemed to pour from my stomach into my entire being. There was a shock.

Both of us jolt back and look at each other. From his expression I knew he felt the same thing. "It's true" he answers. His voice makes me melt. Wait? Why would Greyson's voice do that? Okay, I needed more sleep.

Greyson gets a text on his phone from his mom. As he reads it his face drops. "What?" I ask. He looks up. 

"I have to leave in two days for California."

"What?" I repeat surprised.

"It's only for two weeks but I have to record a new album. I'll be back before the end of July." I try to hide the sadness in my voice but I can't. He knows me too well.

"Oh okay." He pulls me in closer to him and I feel that shock again. "Well I'm sorry Shelbs but I gotta go pack so we can celebrate fourth of July tomorrow."

We walk out and he gets to the door. "Why leaving so soon Greyson?" my mom asks. My dad is at work.

 "My mom just told me I had to come home that's all." My mom nods and Greyson hugs me again. I feel that burning sensation for the third time. 

"See you tomorrow Grey."

"See you." says my best friend walking out the door.

*****************

Later that night before my mom falls asleep she comes into my room and Lays down next to me on my bed. I barely notice her deep in thought. "You really like that Greyson don't you?" I turn to her on my side and look her in her light brown eyes.

 "Of course I'm his biggest fan and he and Cody, Gisela, and James are all my best friends." My mom laughs with seriousness remaining on her face. Only she could do that.

"No I mean you like him more than a friend. Don't you?" I think for a moment. Inside I knew I did. I could tell him everything and he was extremely sweet and cute. He was perfect. I couldn't help but like him. I lie.

 "No I don't." My mom searches my eyes knowing the truth.

"Well, if you do, I just want to let you know that he likes you, too. I also want to make you aware of one thing."

"What is it?" I ask wondering if it was really all that important.

"Cody likes you too."
