Friend-Zoned

Part 17

I wake up snuggled in Ethan's arms. I begin to kiss his jaw and he slowly wakes up.

" Hey...", he said in a husky voice. He picked up my hand and intertwined our fingers together.

" Morning", Ethan was going to kiss me but I stopped him.

" What?", he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

" Morning breath.", I laughed.

When we were younger I'd always go over to Ethan's house. It's been about a year since I've stayed at their house and I have to say I really miss it.

Ethan handed me an extra toothbrush and we started brushing our teeth.

" I'm going to go say hi to Grayson", I walk out of his bathroom and headed towards Grayson's room.

I knock but no one answers.

" Gray?", I whispered. No one was answering and his room was silent.

I slowly cracked the door open and looked through.

Grayson was asleep. He was shirtless, laying on his bed. His jaw and his face were beautiful. Everything is perfect about him...

What am I saying? I love Ethan... but I also love- like Grayson. Ugh I hate myself...

I smiled at Grayson and before I'm about to walk out, Grayson lets out a quiet moan.

I face Grayson with a confused look on my face.

Was he having a sex dream?

He moaned my name and that's when I had, had it.

I walked out of his room quietly and closed the door. I leaned up against it and ran my hand through my hair.

Was he having a sex dream? With me?

" Hey are you okay?", Ethan walked up to me. I nod and went back into the bathroom to finish brushing my teeth.

" You know how to cook Ethan?", Ethan was making French toast with homemade pancakes.

" Yeah Grayson taught me a little bit."

I sit down at the table and got my phone out from my hoodie pocket.

12:43

My mom and Riley have been out of town so I can stay out all night.

I started scrolling through instagram and saw Ethan had posted a photo with Meredith.

I sigh and I hear someone skipping down the stairs.

I turn to see Grayson skipping down the stairs and gulp.

Ethan gives me my food and I start eating. Grayson has a wide smile swept across his face and he skipped into the kitchen.

Ethan looked at me, then back at Grayson. He started laughing and Grayson turned red.

" Why are you so happy this morning?", Ethan laughed and looked at me as I ate a piece of the pancake.

" Oh I don't know, I just had a good dream-", I nearly choked on my pancake when Grayson had said that.

" What?", Ethan laughed at me.

" Nothing...", I shook my head blushing.

So it's official... Grayson likes me. I mean I should've known, he's so sweet around me. I mean, he's sweet all the time but I've seen him with his friends and he's a little different.

Okay I'm uncomfortable. I mean I like him too. Wait that sounded weird. Wait- do I like him? Like love him?

Kind of- what am I saying? I need to stop...
