"Pucker you lips like this" Grayson said demonstrating. I puckered my lips and he slowly used the lipstick on my lips. It was a soft shade of pink. Kylie sat on my bed laughing. "Pucker more!" He whined. I literally puckered to the point I was turning into a duck. "Perfect" He laughed and slowly applied it on. He then leaned in. No he's not. I felt his soft lips on mine.

Oh my fucking chicken balls... My eyes widen and I froze. "S-sorry" he stuttered and dropped the lipstick and ran out of my room. I turned around in shock and looked at Kylie. Her mouth was hung opened.

"Did he just..." She trailed and I nodded. She walked up to me and picked up the lipstick and continued to do my lips. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm just shocked" I said honestly. "You don't like him?" She asked. "He's more of a friend, it was a mistake I'm sure it was." I said.

"You have eyes for someone else?" She asked. I nodded my head in all different directions. "It's complicated" I said. "Want to go talk to him?" She asked and I nodded. She finished my lips and I walked out trying to find Grayson.

I walked in the lounge room and everyone was crowded, literally everyone. My eyes landed on Shawn. I quickly broke the eye contact before I start crying. "Looking for Gray?" Taylor asked and I nodded. "Front door" He said and I ran to the front door. I saw him sitting on the porch looking out. "Hey" I softly said sitting beside him.

"Malia hi," he nervously said. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Something came over me and I just did it. I'm sorry, I know you're still healing from Shawn and I didn't mean to make anything between us change it was a mistake I swear and I'm so sor-"

"Shut up" I laughed hugging him. "It was a mistake, it's fine" I smiled. "Nothing between us needs to change" I said holding his hand. He smiled in relief. "Thanks" He nodded.

We headed back upstairs. "So you guys okay?" Kylie asked and we both nodded laughing. "Okay want to learn now?" She asked Grayson holding the curling iron. He nodded eagerly and I took a seat.

"Put on your dress" Kylie said shooing me to go get it. Grayson went to the bathroom downstairs to change and he's coming back up to let Kylie fix him up.

I grabbed my dress and the heels from my closet and changed into them. I walked back out to see Kylie with tears, I swear she's just like mother. "You're beautiful just like your mother" She said wiping her tears.

"Thank you" I said smiling. She spun me around and fixed up the dress a bit. She fixed up my hair and then took a few steps back. "Oh my god! Grayson would want to kiss you again" She joked. I laughed. I heard a knock on the door and Grayson walked in changed in a button up and black skinny jeans since that's his formal wear.

"Damn baby!" We both hollered at each other at the same time. We both fell silent and stared each other then cracked into fits of laughter. "Up high" He laughed and I hi-fived him. "You're gorgeous" He smiled placing his hand at the bottom of my exposed back skin. He pulled me closer to him.

"Not too bad yourself" I smiled fixing his collar. He laughed. Grayson took a seat and Kylie worked with his hair. "Everyone is changed and all downstairs." Grayson informed me. "Already?" I asked. He nodded. "How do they look?" I asked. "Good" He smiled as Kylie finished styling his hair.

"Malia visit your mother in her room." Kylie said and I immediately wanted to slap her mouth. Grayson looked over at me. "Mother?" he asked. "Can I meet your mother?" He asked. Shit shit shit, "Kylie are you sure she's here?" I asked and Grayson also looked at her giving me a chance to give her a face.
