In the End // g.d. ☑️

24

Rowan's POV:

Taylor and Ethan were talking in that room for an hour and I was getting anxious.  It was 3am and I was super tired, but I couldn't sleep, at least not here.  I started tapping my foot, something I do when I get really impatient or super anxious.  I feel a hand on my thigh and look and see Grayson smiling.  "Hey chill out ok.  Everything is going to be fine."

"How do you know that for sure."

"Because we haven't heard any yelling or cursing yet, that's why." he says chuckling to himself. "Aren't you tired?"

"Yeah, but I can't sleep here.  You?"

"Yeah, I feel a little tired, but I can tough it out.  You can go sleep in my car if you want.  I seem to always pass out in there."  

"Nah I'm good right now, I'll just wait for Taylor and then we can go home and come back tomorrow."  Just as I said that Taylor walks out of the room.

"So? How'd it go?"

"It went surprisingly well, but I know you are tired so here are the keys.  I'm going to stay here with Ethan.  Just come get me in the morning, kay?"

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to the house, I mean its not like he is going anywhere right now."

"Yeah I'm sure, why don't both of you go.  Get some sleep.  I can take care of him."  I look at Grayson.

"Yeah, I'll head back to the apartment and get him some new clothes for when he goes home."

"Alright then it's settled, both of you go get some rest and come back in the morning," she looks over at me, "Night girlie."

"Night girlie."  We hug and she goes back into the room.  I grab my bag and head out to the car.  I see Grayson leaning up against the car and man does he look good even with like zero hours of sleep.

"Hey cutie." 

 I look around, and point at myself. "Who, me? Nah. I look like a girl who hasn't gotten any sleep in days."

"Oh shut up, you look amazing. Come here."  He grabs my waist and pulls me close.  " I missed hanging out with you.  I feel like its been forever."

"I know I miss you too.  But you know that I couldn't because of the whole Taylor and Ethan thing."

"Yeah it sucks, but I think they might have worked some stuff out, which is good."

"Honestly who would have thought, that the relationship that began with sex would end up like this."

"Oh yeah I totally forgot that is how they started.  And then they plotted together and got us together."

"I guess it's true what they say, the couple that plots together, stays together."  We both laugh and shake our head at how stupid that joke was.

"I gotta teach you better jokes babe."

"Hey!," I punch his arm playfully, "I think I'm pretty funny thank you very much."

"Oh yeah for sure, ready to go home?"

"Yep I am so ready for bed right now."

"Alright let's go."  

"Wait, you are coming with me?"

"Yeah I figured since we don't live that far from each other, why take two cars when we can just take one."

"Ooo that is smart, ok hop in."  I get in the drivers side and even though we were both tired we decided to blast some Blackbear and sing at the top of our lungs with the windows down.  The fall air was crisp at 3am so the air felt really good while driving.  

After we got back to the house we both changed into some pajamas.  Grayson had already had a pair of gray sweatpants from the last time he stayed over so he just changed into those and I wore a oversized tshirt and some shorts.  I take off my makeup and brush my teeth.

"Ready for bed" Grayson says popping his head into the bathroom.

"Yeah almost, I'll be in there in a minute.  I put my hair up in a bun and head back into my room.  Grayson was already snuggled up underneath the covers so I got in on the other side and plugged my phone in and turned off my light.  

I snuggle up under the covers and feel Grayson grab me and pull me in close and snuggle his head on my shoulder.  "Goodnight babe." he whispers and he kisses my cheek.

"Night Gray." I smile and I slowly drift off to sleep.
