She's Mine - Hayes Grier

Chapter 2

I can't even believe he’s standing right in front of me. How in the world am I still even standing? How am I not crying? How am I not screaming or crawling on the floor. How am I not dead? He's so much hotter in person. How in the world is he single? Hot damn. Play it cool Riley. Keep your cool.

"Hi." I said with a cheeky grin spreading. 

He cleared his throat. "Hi! Um, weird question. How old are you?" 

I felt the least bit uncomfortable but I told him anyway.

"I'm 13. May I ask why?" I said a little hesitantly.

"Oh, uh well my mom has been looking for someone to babysit my little sister," he gestured towards Skylynn, "Skylynn for when we go out and she can’t come with us. And Skylynn seemed to have liked you allot." He's so awkward. It’s so hot. 

"I'm Nash by the way." he said scratching the back of his neck. 

"Oh, uh I know. I love Macon." I said trying not to sound like a stalker. 

"Oh! That’s so cool! Do you live nearby?" He said.

"Uh, yeah just down the street. But hey I’ve gotta get going. Mom needs me home. I will talk to mom about the babysitting thing. I’m definitely interested." I grabbed Paige by the hand and began walking. He and Skylynn walked to the side of us.

"Yeah uh, can I get your number?" he asked. Nash Grier just asked for my number. Holy shit. I squeezed Paige’s hand and smiled awkwardly. He handed me his phone and I punched in my name and number then gave it back. 

"Thanks again - Riley right?" he questioned.

"Yeah! I'll see you soon?" 

Hopefully.

Paige and I eventually made it home and I was still Shaking in disbelief I had just met 2 of the Griers. I twisted the knob and pulled the door open, letting the warm heat from inside brush against my skin. It felt like heaven .Paige instantly left me to go find mom and I locked up the door. My feet hurt, and I was tired of walking. I found my way to my room and stripped down to my undergarments. I threw on my pajamas and plopped into bed. I had no desire to take off my makeup. I just lay there, waiting on a text from Nash. Come on. Text me already. TEXT ME JESUS CHRIST. Well then. I’ve been sitting here for an hour watching my phone like a hawk waiting for a text from him. Let’s face it; he’s probably never gonna text me.  Gosh I’m tired. Next think I knew, I was asleep.

I woke up from my sleep at 10:00 AM. I immediately checked my phone. Twitter, twitter, twitter, ooh a snapchat. I’m popular. Lol not. More twitter, A TEXT HOLY SHIT. 

From: Random number

"Hey Riley its Nash. Tonight we're going out to eat with some of mom’s friends. Skylynn wants to stay home and my brother isn’t feeling good so he would be there too. Are you interested? Thanks again."

I read it in shock. I actually was in denial he texted me. But I texted him back. 

"Yeah of course! What time do you want me over?" I sent it. Delivered. The little cloud popped up indicating he was typing. 

"6:30 ok?" he said.

"Yeah. C ya then. Can I have your address?" I dropped my phone on my bed and picked out an outfit for the day. I walked back over to my phone to hear it vibrate showing a text form Nash. He gave me his address and I plugged it into my phones GPS type app. wow, it’s only like 5 minutes away from here. I walked to the bathroom to take a shower. I think I’m finally finding my way around this place. I turned on the water, and stripped my clothes off. I slid the shower curtain to the side so I could step in then slid it back behind me and took in the pleasure of the hot water running over my dirty skin. It felt so nice, and I felt clean. The feel of the warm water running through my hair on my scalp felt heavenly. I scrubbed everywhere and rinsed, I felt so clean. I turned off the water and grabbed my towel that was hanging from the shower rod and dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around my body and walked back into my room to put on my clothes. I slid on my undergarments and walked over to where my outfit of the day was hanging. I threw on my "GEEK" sweater on with my light high waisted shorts to go under it. I put on my white converse and headed to the bathroom to dry my hair and makeup. I plugged up my hair dryer to the outlet and turned it on. The warm air felt sooo good. I couldn’t help but to blow some of it down my shirt. Oops. My hair dried to its natural wave which actually good today so I left it the way it was, and threw a grey beanie over it. I did the normal makeup, foundation on my imperfections, mascara, and winged my eyeliner today. Wow. I actually looked good today. I grabbed my phone from in my room and headed downstairs to the living room. Paige was on the couch screaming at the TV telling Dora where the blue road was. Psh. kids. I lay down on the couch and propped my feet up on Paiges lap and closed my eyes. I’m still so tired.

I woke up at 6:15 from Paige still screaming at the TV. I’ve gotta head to the Griers house. I stuffed my phone in my pocket and screamed at mom.

"MOM IM GOING TO BABYSIT BYE" I grabbed my keys, and started walking, following the directions my phone gave me. I walked on the side of the road all the way there. It was kinda chilly on my bare legs. I walked up their driveway and knocked on the door lightly. Nash answered the door and pulled me into a hug. I of course hugged back and he welcomed me inside. His mom came up to greet me, and she was very friendly.

"Hi Riley! I'm Nash's mom, you can call me Elizabeth. The latest we will be gone is around 9:30. Is that ok?"

"Yeah Yeah! That’s perfectly fine. You guys have fun." I said. Skylynn was already tugging at my hand to pull me around the house. It was a bug, beautiful house. They left and it was me, Skylynn, and Hayes was somewhere in here. I’m so anxious to go find him. But that would be so weird and stalkerish. Skylynn pulled me around her big house and showed me where everything was. We ended up in her room, and we were playing with Barbies on her bed. I was still so tired but I didn’t want to leave her all alone and bored. She dressed her Barbies and made them talk to each other and made me miss the days when I was her age. Not having any worries, no drama, nothing. I saw here yawn which gave me a little comfort. She was tired. 

"Riley, I'm tired." She said in the middle of another yawn. 

"Get in bed sweetie!" I tucked her in her covers and was about to walk out when she called me. 

"Wait! Riley wait. Can you lay with me?" she said sticking out her bottom lip. 

"Ok, but only cause I'm tired too." I lay down beside her and listened to her breathe. Her little soft breaths were so cute. I fell asleep right beside her.

Hayes's POV: 

I heard some girl was going to be babysitting Skylynn tonight and I couldn't care less. I have a pounding headache, and my eyes are swollen and bloodshot. I don't feel like moving and I just want to lay here forever. I recently caught my girlfriend Jordan cheating on me with my best friend. It just hurt so much. I thought she loved me, and I thought he was a true friend. Love sucks. I’m never loving again. I'm super freaking thirsty, and hungry. I got up out of bed and threw on some blue gym shorts I found on the floor, leaving my shirt off. I walked down to the kitchen to find complete silence. Nobody was down here. They’re probably in Skylynn's room. I grabbed a bottle of Gatorade from the fridge and got a bag of chips out of the pantry. I walked up the stairs to Skylynn's room to see if they were in there. 

"Hey Skyl-" Holy shit. They’re asleep shut up you idiot. Close the door and go back to bed. I started to close the door when I caught a glimpse of her. She’s freaking Beautiful. I opened the door back up and walked closer to the bed. She was so gorgeous. Like damn. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and snapped a picture of them sleeping together and put my phone back in my pocket. I walked back out and shut the door quietly behind me. I walked back to my room and put the Gatorade on my nightstand, pulled open the bag of chips and plopped on the bed. The only thing I thought about for the next hour was her. I wonder how old she is. Is she in my grade? Is she single? Whoa whoa whoa Hayes. Slow it down bro. You haven't even got the girls name and you’re thinking about that? That’s hella wrong. Just go back to sleep. And in that moment, I did. I hope I dream about her.
