Just another guy G.D.

Chapter 11

                                             Veronica Jenesis

      "Order up!" I grab the plates and like the pro waittress I am, hand them out. "Pancakes with extra syrup for you little man. Eggs, ham, and hashbrowns for you sir, if you guys need anything else, feel free to ask!" I smile walking away from the booth.
It had been 1 week since the whole incident. I got a job at the diner with Abigail, and we were making the best of it, with Ethan still mad at me.

Christmas was this wesenday and I was working on this painting for him. I wanted the painting to describe him, his personality, the way he cared for me before I screwed everything up.

I look over at Abigail whose talking to a petite older lady in her 60's. The lady was showing Abi pictures of her grandkids and Abi just smiled as she commented how lovely her grandchildren were.

I walked to my other booth and asked if they were pleased woth thier meal and if they needed something. They all smiled and said no. The diner was empty and it was no wonder why they allowed me to waitress so quickly.

All I could think about was friday and how everything was messed up. I went to thier house, but unfortunately nobody answered. I knew Grayson held a grudge, but I never saw Ethan, so disappointed before.

-----

"Abigail please leave me at Ethan's." I smiled, trying to persuade her.

"Give it time, he'll come back slowly." Abigail patted my shoulder.

I sighed, "Please, it's been a week."

"No."

"Please, please, please, with a cherry on top!" I gave her my sad face, and she laughed.

"Fine, but only because it's partially my fault." Hell yeah it is.

"It's not your fault, I should've told Ethan a while back." I shrugged.

She nodded and dropped me off at the Dolans house.

I walked up to thier house slowly, once I got to the door, I stood there thinking of what I am going to say.

"I'm sorry that I like-like your brother and like you, no that's rude Veronica." I turn my back against the door. "Oh how about I'm the most stupid girl for not telling you. I'm stupid we all know that!" I stomp my foot and sigh. I continue circling my body in circles, looking at my feet.

"I painted you a painting, because apparently that's the only thing I could do. No that sounds stupid." What could I say, it's like everything I could say would just make the situation worse.

"I'm stupid, I should've opened my eyes and realized that you would accept who I liked, because you care for me. Oh I like how that sounds!" I jump up in satifisfication. I turn around to knock on the door, and if I wasn't much of an embarrassment already, I would of fell in shock. Grayson was standing at the door, smiling.

"How long have you been there?" I stumble my words.

"Enough to know that if I were Ethan, I would forgive you in a heartbeat." He leans against the door and crosses his arms.

"I'm sorry, I made a big scene, it's just that I had thing feeling, a feeling that I've never felt before." He looked down in shame.

My heart fluttered, but I kept my ground. "You always do this."

"Do what?" His eyebrows furrow together.

"You tell me something sweet, you open up and then you completely ingore me." I try to gather my words. "And I don't know what you do in those days that you ingore me, I don't want a guy whose going to break my heart. If I needed that, I would go to Jonahs, or my dad."

"Jonahs cares about you, so much he just doesn't know how to show it." He quickly backs up my brother. He steps closer to me, "Can we not argue here, I really don't need my brother to come."

I nod and walk to the grass, farther from the house. He follows me and he signals me to walk to the shed that's right behind his house.

The shed was old and rusty, with a whole bunch of tools. There was only a little space, so we had to stand close together. That's probably what he wanted, so I scooted as far as I could. We stare at each other for a good 5 minutes.

Everything about him is confusing, his deamenor changes more than possible.

He grabs his hands into mine, and looks into my eyes. "I'm scared, because I've never felt this. I keep running away, because I'm an asshole."

"You're right." I nod. An asshole never admits it.

"Do you like me, even a little?" One of his hands is brought to my cheek.

"Maybe, but only just a little." I roll my eyes.

"A little a lot, or a little a little?" He smiles.

"Maybe a little less than a lot." I sigh.

"Look Grayson, if you're serious about what you feel and I am too, let's do something about it." I was making the move!

"I am very serious, I am so fucking serious!" He hollers, which makes me laugh.

"Be my girlfriend?" He confidentially asks.

"No."

"No?" He looks at me shocked.

I start to laugh, "April fools!"

"It's not even April fools yet, fuck you scared me."

I pull up my free hand and place it on his chest. I stand on my tiptoes and bring my face up to his. He quickly smashes his lips onto mine, and I feel shocks in my stomach. He deepens the kiss by grabbing my waist and grinding onto me. I bring my hand to his hair and pull it, causing him to groan. He disconnects the kiss and kisses my neck. He trails from my jawline down to my collarbone. A small moan escapes my lips as he nibbles softly on my collar bone.

Not being able to control myself, I slide my hand under shirt and start to feel his hard stomach. I trace along his sixpack and tug at his shirt.

"Not now, I want to take things slow." He murmers against my neck.

As I realize that my self control is very low I back away. "We should get out of here." I smile.

"We should, I'm afraid being a gentleman takes a lot of control."

"I'm very selfish, I came here to beg for forgiveness and instead I got myself a boyfriend." I sighed. Using the word boyfriend felt new, it felt too good to be true.

"Everyone has to be a little selfish sometimes." I look up at Ethan's window to see light shining through.

"Will you mind, I'm going to talk to Ethan?" I ask, as if I would listen if he said no.

He licked his lips and planted a kiss on mine. "Yeah, it doesn't matter, you're mine." I smiled at his answer, and made my way inside the house.

I walk up the stairs slowly, I get to his door and knock lightly.

"I'm busy." I hear a flat voice from the other side of the door.

I try to be polite and knock once more. "Leave me alone."

"I can't." I say.

"Veronica?" He questions.

"Ethan can I come in?" I ask.

It takes a minute before he answers with a yeah.

I walk into his room and see him seating against the wall on his bed.

"I'm sorry, I'm stupid and I should've of told you that I like your brother-"

"Save it."  He motions for me to sit next to him on his bed. I slowly walk over and sit on the edge.

"I forgive you. You're my bestfriend, not my girlfriend I can't control who you date and who you don't. My brother needs someone like you." He smiles, making me smile.

"You don't understand how thankful I am for having someone like you in my life." I hug him tightly, and he laughs.

"Go talk to my brother, his one lucky guy." I get up slowly and give him one last look before heading to Graysons room.
