this is the face i wear treading the riptide
abysmal oceans where good girls go to die
i wanna love somebody, wanna feel their love all on me..."uh, gray?" i bit my lip to keep myself from laughing. "whose playlist is this?"
we were in his , driving down the highway at a moderate speed. the moment would have been extremely cool, if "bad intentions" hadn't been playing in the background.
grayson groaned, and kept his eyes on the road. "cameron made this playlist, i should have known that she was messing with me."
i eyed his phone, and glanced at him. "is it alright if i go through the playlist?"
he laughed nervously, and nodded. "knock yourself out, cutie."
gray's phone was already unlocked, which made my job a lot easier. i scrolled through the playlist, and tried my hardest to stifle my laughter. "gg, your sister really was trying to mess with you. she put "my neck, my back" in this playlist." i scrolled down a little farther, and laughed. "she put birthday sex in there, too."
grayson couldn't help but laugh. "that's so embarrassing, jesus." he turned the music down, and sighed happily.
"where exactly are we going?" i rolled down the window, and smiled as the crisp air hit my face.
it wasn't like i didn't enjoy spending time with grayson, it was the fact that we had been driving around for a good thirty minutes, and i was starting to get antsy.
he slowed the car down, and parked on the stony path right in front of us. the ride was a little bumpy for a few seconds, but i didn't mind.
we were in an extremely scenic area, with lots of trees, stones, and a little waterfall. the scene was beautiful, it looked like it belonged on one of those old postcards.
"ethan and i used to come here all the time, with jacob and arielle."
i cringed when grayson said her name.
his eyes widened. i could tell that he felt really bad, even though he shouldn't have. "i'm really sorry, i won't bring her up again." he undid his seatbelt, and opened his door. "let me make it up to you, mimi. i'll give you a piggyback ride, down to the mini waterfall."
i got out of the car, and closed the door behind me. "you didn't do anything wrong, gray. don't worry about it."
he made his way over to me, and laughed shyly. "come on, it will be fun. i promise."
grayson brought a big blanket, and his polaroid with him, both of which i ended up carrying. he didn't have any free hands, since he was holding me by my thighs. his grip was soft, and his hands were a little clammy.
i leaned in, and put my mouth near his ear. "are you nervous?"
his grip on my thighs tightened a little bit. "uh, y... yeah. i'm really nervous."
"don't be nervous, it's just me," i whispered.
he gulped, and put me down when we reached the bottom of the road. "you make me nervous, mimi."
i cradled his polaroid, and handed him one side of the blanket. "why would i make you nervous? we see each other pretty much everyday." i moved a few stones away with my shoe, and looked at gray. "by the way, thank you for bringing the blanket."
grayson placed the blanket down, and waited for me to do the same. "my mom thought it was a good idea." he smiled at me, and bit his lip. "you're a really cool girl, camila. you're fun, you're energetic, you're... really beautiful. i get positive vibes from you."
before i could say something back to him, he decided to change the subject. "do you want to go for a swim? we always used to swim here."
i raised my brows, and pointed at the water. "you want to go in there, with your clothes on?"
grayson looked confused. "uh, yeah. what–"
he stopped talking when he saw me unzipping my jacket. his cheeks were bright red, and he couldn't decide if he wanted to look or not.
"we're going skinny dipping," i placed my jacket on the blanket, and continued to remove my clothes. "strip, gg."
grayson was basically frozen. i was now only wearing my bra and my undies, which i was going to take off. "you can look away, if you want to."
he bit his lip, and shifted around. "i don't... i don't want to."
now i was blushing. i carefully unhooked my bra, and threw it onto the blanket. my underwear was the last item of clothing to go. for some reason, i couldn't make eye contact with gray. it wasn't like i hadn't taken my clothes off in front of a guy before, so i was a little confused.
without looking at him, i slowly made my way into the water. it was surprisingly warm, and it felt nice on my skin. "what are you waiting for? get in here, you goof."
i watched as gray quickly pulled his shirt over his head. he was so muscular, i had no idea. i never actually saw him wearing form fitting shirts, so i was pleasantly surprised. my eyes traveled from his broad shoulders, to his stomach. grayson had abs. ABS.
grayson and i made awkward eye contact, just as he started unbuttoning his jeans. i didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable, so i made the decision to turn around.
after a few moments, i heard the water rippling. "mimi?"
i turned around, and smiled when i saw grayson. he had a shy little smile on his face, and but he looked so hot. "well, look who decided to show up to the party."
