Grayson's POV:

Its been a week since Rowan and I hung out at Santa Monica and I can't wait to see her again.  Since she has been busy with school and work I haven't really gotten to talk to her besides the texts here and there.  I hear a knock at the door and get up to go answer it but Ethan beat me too it.  Taylor walks in and greets Ethan with kisses and Rowan walks in behind her making a face.  I just laugh and she looks over at me and smiles. She walks over to me and I engulf her into a huge hug.  I breathe in her scent and she smells like vanilla and oranges.  We pull apart and she gets on her tip toes and gives me a kiss on the cheek.  She was so short it was adorable.

Taylor clears her throat really loudly, "So are we gonna film this video or what?"

"Yeah babe I already have it set up in Gray's bedroom, let's go."  He takes her hand and leads her to my room.  I look at Rowan and grab her hand and we walk to my bedroom.  We have the girls sit off to the side for the intro. 

"Hey guys what's up, today if you can't tell by the title of this video we are going to be doing the Girlfriend Tag!"

"Yeah and for that we need some girlfriends, soooooo" We both motion for the girls to get on the bed and sit next to us.  "This is Taylor, my girlfriend" Ethan says pointing to Taylor and kissing her cheek.  "And this is Rowan, my girlfriend" I grab her hand and smile at her.  She blushes and looks away.

"So we are going to be seeing how well we know our girlfriends how well they know us."

"Butttt  we had to make it more interesting so everytime any of us gets a question wrong, we get a cupcake to the face"  I lean down and grab the box of cupcakes and show the camera.  

"Ok lets get started!"

"Ok first question when and where did we first meet?"

"Um at a launch party for O'Neil" 

"Ok that is correct, Grayson?"

"We met at Urth while you were taking orders and I couldn't stop staring at you and made myself seem like the biggest fool ever."  She looks at me and smiles.

"Ok second question for you girls.  When/ where was our first kiss?"

"At that same launch party." Taylor smirks and Ethan gets all embarassed.  "Ok Rowan?"

"It was when you were dropping me off at my condo."  

"Good."  Rowan grabs my phone to read off the next question.

We finally finish the video and the least to say Ethan and I were covered in cupcakes and the girls had like 1 or 2 on them.  I went in the bathroom and got in the shower to clean off real quick.  I come out in my towel and see Rowan taking off her makeup because the frosting got everywhere. She looks over at me and smiles.  "I had a lot of fun filming that, who knew making videos could actually be fun and not feel like work at all."

"Yeah it's pretty cool, we get to make our own hours and only have to rely on each other to get work done most of the time."

"Umm Gray do you wanna change out of that towel now?"

"Oh yeah sorry." I grab my clothes and head to the bathroom.  I get out and see Rowan is already changed into her bathing suit.  I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her little waist.  I start to sway us back and forth and put my chin on her shoulder.

"So what do you think people are going to say when they find out both of you have girlfriends?"

"Well I mean they will all be shocked that we were actually able to get girls and also probably a little upset because it isn't them that either of us are in love with.  I'm prepared for the worst honestly.  Our little fandom can get butthurt quite easily over things that would be normal to anyone else."

"Yeah I'm just concerned how people are gonna think of me, I mean I know I shouldn't care but sometimes you just have to think what goes through people's minds sometimes."

"I know what you mean, like you don't want to care but when it comes down to it you care about what people might say."

"I just don't want anyone attacking my character without knowing me and I mean the real me and not just the me that I put out on social media."  I was about to say something but Ethan walks in.

"Hey you guys ready to go down to the pool?"  I release Rowan from the hug and nod towards Ethan.  "Ok let's go then."

I let Taylor and Ethan go down first and grab Rowan's hand, "I hope you know you don't have to prove yourself to anyone, not even me.  I love you the way you are and if people have a problem with us being together then so be it.  It's our life not their's."  I grab her face in my hands and lean down and kiss her.

I swear kissing her felt like kissing her for the first time over and over again. That same spark that was there when I kissed her on her doorstep was here now and I don't know if I will ever get over that feeling. 

I pull away and smile at each other.  I intertwine my hand with hers and we walk down to the pool where Ethan and Taylor were all over each other in the hot tub making out.  But hey I would do the same with Ro if we weren't going slow.  I put my phone and keys down and walk over to the edge of the pool.  Then I get hit in the back and fall into the pool.  I come up and see Rowan and Ethan and Taylor laughing their asses off.  Rowan smiled being all proud her tiny little self could push me in the pool.

"Rowan that was so mean"

"What are you gonna do about it?" She says kneeling by the pool.  I get close to her and act like I was going to kiss her and I grab her and pull her into the pool.  

She comes up and gives me a pouty face.  "I didn't want to get my hair wet Gray. What the fuck!"

"Hey an eye for an eye babe."  I smirk at her and she swims over to me.  I grab her waist and she wraps her legs around me.  We just floated around the pool for a bit talking about random shit that honestly didn't mean that much, I think we just enjoyed being with each other and having time to catch up since I hadn't seen her for a week.

"Hey guys we are gonna go back up to the apartment.  Take as much time as you need down here guys."  Ethan winks at me and I understand fully about what they are gonna do up in the apartment and trust me I don't wanna hear her call him "Daddy" anymore.

"So I take it they are gonna go fuck right now?"

"Yeah i'm guessing so but I mean when do they not fuck honestly?"  We both laugh.  The pool was getting a little cold so we decided to jump in the hot tub.  Rowan sat across from me looking beautiful as always.  She put her hair up in a bun so it could dry a little bit and she was looking up at the sky.  Even though you couldn't see any stars it was still peaceful to look up from time to time.  

"Come here." She looks at me and swims on over.  I grab her and pull her onto my lap so she is facing me.  Rowan grabs my face and studies it for a minute and I pull her in tighter and kiss her.  I pull on her hair a little bit causing her to gasp and I slip my tongue inside her mouth. She puts her hand on my chest and I gently bite her lip.  We look at each other and there is love in her eyes.

"I think i'm ready for us to date, you were right when you said to not care what others think and not proving myself to anyone. So I want this, I want us."  I smile at her and kiss her again and again.  

"So Rowan, would you please be my girlfriend officially?"

"Yes!"
