Second Chances (A Greyson Chance Love Story)

Chapter 19 - The Unexpected

A few months passed and its still me, Greyson, and nothing else. We were both so happy with each other and everything was perfect. Every moment was the best.

Unfortunately, one day some things appeared and happened. The days of happiness gradually feigned, until it got much worse and worse.

"Good morning sweetheart! Wakey wakey!" Greyson shouted at me, shaking my arms back and forth, to wake me up in my deep sleep.

"Okay okay, I'm up." I said as I rubbed my 2 hands on my whole face. My eyes were sore because of incomplete and unsatisfied hours of sleep last night.

"You're so hard to wake up you know? I think I need to pour on you some freezing ice cubes before you wake up!" He bluffed.

"Just go on I'll be fine. I'll be down right away." I pouted.

"Okay cutiepie, take your time." Then he immediately went  downstairs.

I stood up from my bed and pulled out my floral dress from the closet. I grabbed my towel and headed to the bathroom to take a bath. After these, I went downstairs, and was overwhelmed with what I saw.

The table was beautifully arranged, with flowers and candles and some of my favorite meals. I was amazed with all of it, but then again frightened because a voice suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"So, do you like it?" Greyson asked while smirking widely.

"What the? You scared me, you know?" I pouted, and continued, "But above all, I freaking love it! Nice work, but when did you learn how to do this?" I questioned.

"One word Milady: Youtube," he replied.

"Oh, I see. Good setting!" I complimented on his work. Because who wouldn't be impressed? Scented candles, flowers, a sweet background music, and my favorite food. Oh my glob. TIME TO GOBBLE THEM BWAHAHAHA

Oh, sorry, how rude of me. Hehehe

After eating, I helped him wash the dishes and clean the table. We watched movies such as A Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Leap Year,The Simpsons Movie and A Letter to Juliet.

We finished watching until it was 2 in the afternoon. I took a nap for about half an hour and Greyson went to his laptop for some social biz.

When I woke up, Greyson's focus was still on his laptop. Then he suddenly asked, "Hey babe?"

"Yes baby?" I answered, as I was trying to tie my hair into a ponytail.

"Today is Reed's birthday," he stated.

"Ohh. So, what about it?" I questioned.

"He's having this big party at their house. He texted me that we are invited. Wanna come?"

"Cool. Sure babe. Well, what time does it start?"

"He said 4 pm. So, we have an hour and a half to prepare."

"Okay."

I decided to wear a loose black t-shirt and shorts. I curled my hair a bit and put on some perfume. I don't like make up, not really.

Greyson got out of the bathroom and yelled at me. "Whoa whoa, no shorts young lady! No shorts! Change into something else!"

"But why? What's wrong?" I curiously asked.

"I don't want boys staring at your thighs and legs, they might, you know-- and I wouldn't want that. I mean who doesn't?" he muttered and then bowed his head at me.

"Okay, okay. I understand completely. I know you just want to protect me." I held his chin, lifted up his face at me and kissed his forehead.

"Sorry for shouting." He kissed me on my lips romantically, then hugged me tight.

Greyson went out of the room, and I changed to a black dress with white details on it, that went down to my knees. I went out of the room, and Greyson said, "much better."

"Let's go?" he enticed. I went for his hand and we walked out of the house together.

We arrived at Reed's house, finding my other best gals, Greyson's buddies, with big booming bass speakers and some lights illuminating the air. Bountiful foods, drinks, sweets and desserts were served at the table. Looks like I'll be having fun.

I grabbed a plate and started to get some food, and well, my plate was full. So I tried to find a seat and luckily, my friends saved one for me.

"Thanks for saving me a seat guys," I said.

"Sure thing, Sis," Maoi smiled.

"So, how are you two, huh?" Angela asked, wiggling her eyebrows and grinning at me.

"It was the best. He made breakfast a while ago. Not just the typical breakfast, but the one with music, scented candles, my fave meals, and some rose petals scattered on the floor!" I shared joyfully.

"How sweet!" Aubrey clapped at me.

"Nice one Spren!" Shey said.

We babbled about some things after eating, and left me at the table because they said they'll shake their butts off at the dance floor, and I was left eating at the table.

Greyson was nowhere to be found, and then I saw Reed. I greeted him a happy birthday and hugged him sweetly. Then I asked if he has seen Greyson.

"Hey Reed, have you seen Greyson?"

"Nope, haven't seen him yet, maybe he's with the boys."

"Oh okay, thanks Reed, and again Happy Birthday!"

"Thanks YN. Have a great time!"

Greyson's POV

I entered the living room, trying to find Reed but I really didn't see him there; there were only just other people I don't know.

I was glad I found a mini bar by the tables where the food was placed. I sat on a high stool and asked for some beer. I didn't notice that I was drinking too much and now I'm feeling a little dizzy.

I didn't want to see her face again, but I ate my words when I saw her again. She was just staring at me, I was just staring at her.

But then there she is. The past. The girl I once loved. The girl who destroyed my heart into pieces. The girl, who was once my life, my everything, my world.

Lauren.
