Fake Smiles

#32: Netflix and Chill?!

Grayson was lying in bed, thinking about Lily. He couldn't get her out of his thoughts. Tomorrow she will be going for her treatment. He was nervous. And he wasn't the one having the treatment! He could only imagine how Lily was feeling. She seemed excited for it. But he wasn't sure if she was faking it. What if she was scared?

He was disturbed by a message. He checked his phone to see Lily had texted him. He smiled as he read what she said.

My world 🌎
Hey 😘 i have period pains and I'm home alone and i want to cuddle 😔

Grayson
I'll be there as soon as i can

My world 🌎
I love you 😍

Grayson
I love you more 😍😘😙

He got out of bed and got ready. He got dressed in an extremely comfy outfit. He grabbed his beanie, keys, phone and wallet before leaving the apartment. He was texting Ethan as he made his way out the apartment building.

Grayson
I'll be at Lily's. I'm not sure when I'll be back

Eth
Ok. Have fun 😉

Grayson
Ethan, no

He put his phone in his pocket as he walked to Lily's house. But first, he had to make a quick stop somewhere.

Lily was sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket. She was home alone and was in serious pain. She was skipping through movies on Netflix to find a movie she hasn't seen yet. But it was no use. She had seen majority of movies. She had texted Grayson and he said he was on his way.

She was bent over in pain when she heard the door bell ring. She huffed before answering the door. Standing in front of her was Grayson was chocolate and a 1 litre coca cola bottle. She smiled when she saw him.

"Hey," he greeted her with an adorable smile. "I thought you'd like these considering they're your cravings. I'm sorry I took so long".

She smiled as she welcomed him inside. "Don't worry about it. I'm glad you're here now. Thank you for buying me these". They sat down on the couch cuddled up together. Lily had wrapped the blanket around them both as Grayson searched through Netflix for a movie.

Eventually, they came to s movie they both liked: X-Men: days of future past. They spent hours watching movies and eating the chocolate Grayson had brought. After a while, they both fell asleep in the middle of watching Spiderman. It was a boring movie anyway.

They woke up at around 7pm and decided to watch one more movie before Grayson had to leave. Half way through Deadpool, they heard a voice boom in the living room.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER?!" Grayson jumped up to be face to face with a red faced Mr Lovegood. "SHE IS 15! NOT THE AGE TO LOSE HER VIRGINITY WITH A BOY LIKE YOU WATCHING NETFLIX!"

"N-no!" Grayson stuttered. "I-it's not like that! We were just watching movies! That's all!"

"NO! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE I PUT YOU SIX FEET UNDER!" Scared out of his life, Grayson grabbed his jumper, beanie, wallet, phone and shoes before running out the house. He didn't stop to put his shoes or jumper on. He sprinted home in fear.

He ran up the stairs of his apartment building to his door. He opened the door and pushed himself inside. He slammed the door shut, locked it and leaned against it. He sighed with relief.

"What happened to you?"

Grayson turned to the living room to see Ethan with Alex, Nate, Aaron, Jack, Kian and Jc. They were all sitting on the couch writing down video ideas.

"I was at Lily's watching movies and then her dad almost killed me!" He explained. He placed his shoes near the door and threw the keys on the table. He joined the boys in the living room.

"Oh! Netflix and Chill?!" Kian asked.

"No! That was the last thing on my mind! We were just watching movies. But then her dad came home and threatened to kill me! I felt like I was already dead!" Grayson admitted.

Grayson spent the rest if the night in his room. He could hear the boys laughing and joking while he texted Lily.

My world 🌎
Sorry about my dad 😕

Grayson
Don't worry about it. It's fine

My world 🌎
Are you still coming tomorrow?

Grayson
Dunno. Something came up. I might be able to come after?

My world 🌎
Yeah, that's fine!

Grayson
I'm really sorry...

My world 🌎
Don't be. It's fine. I'll see you after the treatment

Grayson
Bye, i love you

My world 🌎
I love you more 😘

Grayson hated lying to her. He didn't really have anything planned. He just didn't want to face her dad. Her dad scares him. And he doesn't want to be killed by him. He knows he should tell Lily the truth, but he doesn't want to insult her.

He closed his phone and went to sleep.

After Grayson left, Lily glared at her dad. "Why would you do that?! We weren't doing anything wrong! We were watching Netflix! He isn't the kind of boy who only wants sex! He's sensitive and cares about others feelings!" She yelled before storming upstairs to her room.

She fell on her bed and began to cry. She could hear her parents arguing downstairs. Her mom was trying to be calm while trying to reason with her dad. But her dad was yelling in so much anger. She could just about hear their argument.

"She's a young woman!" Her mom stated. "She will want to experience new things! She has a boyfriend! She's bound to lose her virginity eventually!"

"I DON'T CARE HOW OLD SHE IS! SHE WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHING TO ANYONE UNDER MY ROOF! SHE IS MY DAUGHTER AND SHE WILL DO AS SHE'S TOLD!" Her dad argued back.

"She is in love. Can you remember what it's like to be madly in love with someone? To smile every time you see them? For your heart to flutter at the sight of them? Having butterflies in your belly when they're around you? To be anxious to speak to them and hold their hand? That's how she feels when she's with him! He makes her happy! Don't you think she deserves to be happy?"

Her dad was silent. "Exactly! Let her be. If she loves him, let her love him. Every girl deserves to be loved. And that boy adores our daughter. She's lucky to have him. And I can see that he's more than grateful to have her" her mom said before it was quiet.

Lily dried her eyes before texting Grayson.
