"Gray lets go to forever 21 please?" I tug on my boyfriends arm. He just lets out a small chuckle and lets me drag him. We walk into the store and I run over to the dresses they have on show. Grayson and I are shopping because we are going to a family gathering at his parents house and I was in need of a new dress. I grab 3 different dresses and drag Grayson to the dressing room. He sits in one of the chairs outside and plays on his phone waiting for me to try on the dresses. "Gray how does this one look?" I ask wearing a light pink colored t-shirt dress. "Hm" Grayson says only looking up for a second before going back to his phone. You just ignores it though and went back in to try on the other dresses. Every time you would come out to show him a dress he had the same reaction.
"Grayson come on give me your HONEST opinion your literally just nodding my head." I say to him getting frustrated. He quickly looks up from his phone and looks at me angry. "You want my HONEST opinion? Fine here it is. I don't like any of the dresses because you look like a slut in all of them. I'd be embarrassed to take you to this family dinner." He says. He looks like he just had the weight of the world taken off his shoulder. I just look at him with sad eyes before storming back into the dressing room and changing into my normal clothes. I don't understand why gray would say those things to me. He was always so sweet, complementing me and telling me I was beautiful. But now it just seems that he said all those things to hide the truth. And today that truth was revealed. A tear falls from my eye while tying my shoelace. Does Grayson really think that I'm a slut? Does everybody think that? With those thoughts in my head more tears run down my face.
When I walk into the waiting area, Grayson is sitting in a chair with his head in his hands mumbling something I can't understand. He heard my foot steps and suddenly stands up with worry filled eyes. "Y/N, I didn't mean that I don't know what came over me it was an accide-- you don't accidentally call your girlfriend a whore, Grayson!" I say quickly walking out of the store. I can hear Grayson calling my name behind me so I try to walk faster but it's no use. He catches up to me and looks at me with red eyes about to burst with tears. "Y/N please let me explain i--"he starts but I pull away. "Grayson I really don't want to hear this right now." I walk out of the mall and call an uber to come pick me up.
After the car drops me off at mine and grays apartment, I run to the bed and let the tears fall freely. I sit up and go to my closest to grab a sweater and look at all my clothes. They are too short, too revealing, too tight. Grayson was right. I grab every article of clothing that I now found "too revealing and put it in a box before laying back down and turning on the tv to get my mind off of the previous events. About 5 minutes later Grayson walks in the door. "Baby?" He says quietly not even fully in the room yet. I only glance at him and turn back to the tv. He walks over and starts spooning me while laying soft kisses on my cheek. It's hard for me to not give in but I just pull away, avoiding contact. Grayson sighs and leaves the room. A part of me wants him to stay, but I did push him away. Grayson comes back in the room with a forever 21 bag in his hand. He stands in front of the tv to get my attention. " I got this for you." He says smiling. He comes up and gives me the bag. " I need to show you something." He says pulling out his phone. I stay silent the whole time. Gray pulls up his text with his friend jake.
J: hey man, you busy right now
G: yea sorry, I'm shopping with Y/N.
J: lucky you, getting to see that body😩
G: jake, what the hell?
J: come on man you can't blame me, everyone drools over your girlfriend. Even Ethan. Can't help the fact that she looks sexy in everything she wears.🤤
G: screw off man
I read over the text with Grayson looking at me the whole time. When I'm done I just hand the phone back to Grayson. "I know this isn't an excuse but I just got so mad when he was saying those things about you, and when you came out looking beautiful in that dress, it just set me off. I didn't want anyone else looking at you the way I look at you. And I know that is a terrible excuse and there is no reason I should've ever said those things to you. And I'm really sorry." Grayson starts tearing up at the end. He grabs the bag and pulls out the pink t-shirt dress I had tried on earlier. "I want back and got it after you left. You really did look beautiful in it." He says handing me the dress.
I try to hide my smile but I can't. I set the dress down and throw my arms around Grayson. "I'm sorry to. I should have let you explain in the mall instead of storming out." I say in to his neck "no baby you had every right to be mad. I can't believe I said that to you." He runs a hand through his hair. "Wanna watch spongebob?" I ask with a smile. "I would love to watch spongebob."
