Rowan's POV:
As soon as I hear those words come out of that girl's mouth I leave. I run to the elevator making sure Grayson can't catch up to me. I'm hurt and upset but I refuse to cry over any guy. He kissed me one day then goes and does something like this with another girl. I mean I guess I should't be too upset because we aren't even dating yet. Now I don't know if that will ever happen.
I get out of the elevator and start speed walking back to the condo to get ready for work. I didn't have time to think about this stupid boy.
I reach the condo and and walk in. Taylor isn't home right now because she went to the store so I guess I'll drive there today. I get into my work clothes grab my bad and head out the door. I hop in my car and start backing up only to see Grayson stop at the back of my car to keep me from leaving. "What do you want?" I yell out of my window.
"Can we please talk, it wasn't what it looked like, Andie is my ex and she wanted to get back together with me. But I shut it down after I said I was into someone else." He said pleading.
"Look Gray I'm going to be late for work, can we just talk about this later when I'm not in a rush?"
"Fine, but when you are done with your shift we are talking, I don't want to lose you. I like you a lot." I look down and smile to myself.
"It's a plan then." He smiles at me and I give a half smile back to him and continue backing up and drive off to work. I don't know why or how this boy has this affect on me. It's like I can't ever be mad at him even if he does stupid stuff because he always has a way of proving himself to me. Even though it's been a few day, I want to have him in my life for a long time, even if we can only be friends.
*At Urth*
I find a parking spot quite easily and walk in to the back of the restaurant and clock in. I take over Avery's position and start doing work taking customer's orders. Working kind of helps me calm down and de-stress from anything that is bugging me. I started work at 9 am and I finish around 4pm, I look at the clock and I had a few more hours to go but it was time for my break so I grabbed some food and sat in the back parking lot and ate my lunch. After a half hour messing on my phone and eating I walk back inside and head back to the register.
My eyes widen at the next person in line, it was her, Andie I think Grayson said her name was. I try to keep my composer in front of her as she walks up with a smirk on my face because she can tell I recognize her.
"Hi, welcome to Urth, how may I help you today?"
"Hi I'd like a green tea boba and a BLT sandwhich please."
"Alright is that all for you today miss?"
"Yes," she leans over the counter to get closer to me, "Listen back off from Grayson, I don't want your stank ass anywhere near him. I'm trying to win him back and you aren't going to help that situation because he seems so memorized by you, even though I have no idea why because I am way better looking than you are." I just look at her puzzled and brush it off. No need to get caught up in her crazy thoughts.
"Here is your receipt and your card, have a nice day miss." she walks away and now I know why Grayson called her his crazy ex.
It's finally time for me to clock out and I head to the back to my car. As I walk up to it I see a note on my front windshield. Please don't let it be a ticket, I pick it up and I scan the note to see that it's from Andie:
It doesn't seem like you wanted to listen to me at your work. But trust me if you don't back off now, there will be consequences and you won't like it. I have eyes and ears everywhere so if I hear one peep out of your mouth mentioning our little encounter today then you'll be punished. Got it?
-Andie
I jump in my car and hurry home. As soon as I get there I see Grayson sitting on the front step. Oh no he can't be here right now. But I can't tell him to leave because he wants to talk to me so I have no choice. I get out of my car and walk up to him.
"Grayson come inside quickly and don't say a word ok?" He just nods slightly. We walk inside and I hand him the note. He reads it and instantly gets heated. He grips the note so tight it looked like he was about to rip it.
"So what am I supposed to do, not talk to the girl I actually like? She can't keep me from you, I am going to fix this." I don't even get to say anything before he storms out of the condo and leaves in Ethan's black Mercedes. I just stand there not knowing what to do. I close the door and just head up to my room and get in my bed. I'm just emotionally drained from today. I turn on the TV but not really paying any attention to it and end up slowly drifting off into sleep.
