2 weeks later...

Ella's p.o.v:
Gabby was out at the gym but I was feeling lazy so I skipped out. I talked to her about Ethan but she didn't really want to talk about it too much, which I understood. Gab was one of those people that didn't speak about something until she wanted to, you couldn't change her mind. So I decided to leave her be. I was sitting on my bed scrolling through the photos I had taken since we got here. We had almost been here for 3 weeks and we hadn't seen the twins for a while, maybe just a bump into them here and there but they always had somewhere to be.. almost like they were avoiding us. It was then I got a random message from Grayson.

Grayson :): Hey El what have you been up to?

Ella: nothing much. Gabby and I have gone around the grove and hung around checking out LA. Just casual stuff.

Grayson :): What are you doing right now?

Ella: just at the apartment waiting for gabby to come back from the gym. Wbu?

Grayson:): see you in 5 ;)


What. Oh god. I looked at myself in the full body mirror, I looked like shit. I was in an old baggy shirt and my Nike sweatpants. My hair out and messy. I ran around the room frantically, changing into a grey stüssy cut off hoodie and my acid wash jeans. I threw my hair up into a cute messy bun pulling out a few loose strands. I made the bed and shut the door, made sure the apartment seemed tidy and then went and turned on the tv leaving it on a random channel. It was then the door knocked I took a second to look myself over and calm myself. Why was I so nervous? We're just friends. I opened the door and smiled,
"Hey." He said with a big grin on his face
"Hi" I said giggling.
"So what brings you to my humble abode?" I asked jokingly as he stepped inside.
"Well we were both home alone and I was bored so I decided I would rather chill with you than sit at home by myself"
I smiled "well I'm glad you did, but we still have one problem" I said holding up one finger,
"And what's that" he asked.
"What the hell are we supposed to do?"
In an instant Grayson grabbed me flinging me over his shoulder, I squealed and beat on his back begging him to put me down between boughs of laughter.
"GRAYSON PUT ME DOWN NOW!" I yelled still laughing hysterically. He put me down on the couch and sat down beside me. I shoved him and he laughed, a childish twinkle in his eye. I loved it so much, just being with him gave me all kinds of feelings. I decided to take the opportunity and I leapt from my side of the couch on top of him, furiously tickling him. He was laughing so hard I saw a tear slip out of his eye, I was laughing just as hard as I tickled him, pinning him to the couch. Out of nowhere he snatched me by the wrists and I collapsed on top of him letting out an "ooft" as my chest hit his toned one. In this moment I forgot all the promises I made to myself about leaving him as just a friend. His eyes stared straight into mine, those big brown eyes swirled with something like lust, instinctively I ran my hand through his perfectly quiffed hair and he brushed the pad of his thumb along my cheekbone. We just looked at each other for a few seconds and this time I began to lean in first, our lips barely brushed when I heard the door lock click. I leapt off Grayson onto the other side of the couch as gabby walked in. Perfect timing Gabrielle.
"Hey dude I'm ba-- Ha-Hey Grayson" Gabby said, raising her eyebrow at me.
"Grayson came over to watch TV because we were both home alone and bored." I shrugged.
"Oh okay" Gabby said clearly not convinced that's all that happened. I saw Grayson smirk out of the corner of my eye. God.
"Where's Ethan then?" Gabby asked Grayson.
"Oh he's out, he went for a run through the city but I wasn't feeling it. Anyway I should go, I wanna be back before Ethan gets home."
"Alright, see you later" I said with a small smile, he gave me a wink and Gabby a smile as he walked out the door.
Within seconds gabby was by my side on the couch.
"Tell me everything!" She shrieked.
And so I did.

Grayson's p.o.v:
Shit. Don't get me wrong, I really like gabby she's cool. But seriously the has the worst possible timing. Ella and I were about to kiss, in fact our lips brushed but of course when Ella heard Gabby she leapt back. My god having her close to me like that, just us, did things to me. Her body on my body, the way a few strands of hair fell across her face as she looked down at me laughing, the way she looked away for a second biting her lip, unsure, the way she ran her hand through my hair gave me chills in the best way, she made me feel ways I'd never felt before. And I loved that, I craved more.
