"Now that I think about it, you've never actually told me about Jack" Grayson asked.
We were sitting on the sofa. His arm was wrapped around my shoulder and my head was leaning against his chest.
It was 5 in the afternoon, and it was raining, so all our plans got cancelled, instead, we decided to just stay at mine's.
This time, he was not drinking any beer, but eating strawberry cupcakes.
I took a bite of his, and his jaw dropped, making me giggle.
"Heeey" He chuckled.
"Sorry" I apologized with my mouth full.
He laughed.
"What?"
"You've got a little something" He smirked and wiped off the whipped cream off the corner of my lip with his thumb, sucking on it clean afterwards.
"Thanks" I smiled non-cheekily. He kissed my cheek and took another bite.
I felt my cheeks burn a little, and heard footsteps coming from the staircase.
"By the way, Jack is that punk ass bitch you see right there" I smirked, pointing to Jack, who had just arrived to the living room.
He was wearing a backwards baseball cap, a dark blue T-Shirt and some jeans, with shoes that were cleaner and whiter than snow.
He was going through his phone when he yelled, "Ey! I heard that!" making us both laugh.
"Nah, just playing.. he's uh- a friend I guess you could say?" I raised an eyebrow, doubting my own words, a smirk creeping up on my lips.
"No! We're like brother and sister, cause we love each other! Right Raine?" Jack said with fake enthusiasm, throwing a gentle fist bump to my shoulder.
"Do that again and I'll break your face!" I exaggerated a fake smiled at Jack, pairing my fake enthusiasm with his.
"See?" Jack said, causing Grayson to chuckle.
"I'm Jack, we never really met before" He extended his arm for Grayson to shake.
Grayson took his hand and shook it gently, flashing a small smile at him. "Grayson"
I could already tell these two were going to be such good friends.
"Grayson" He repeated, as if he were trying to slap the name into his brain because he had short term memory loss. "I got a question for ya"
Grayson nodded, finishing the cupcake.
"What makes you to support Raine? I mean she's so annoying! I'm sure you've noticed that already" Jack teased, making me roll my eyes.
"Jack shut the fuck up" I whined.
"I don't know to be honest" Grayson smirked, causing me to gasp. "You too?!"
He laughed, pulling me closer to him to kiss my temple. "Just kidding baby"
"I see y'all met now" Dominic appeared, chuckling. His arms were crossed, and he was wearing all black, as usual.
Grayson stood up, and I followed. His arm was still wrapped around my waist, whilst the other was extended towards Dom's direction.
"Nice to see you again, sir" Grayson said politely, making my heart melt.
Dom took Grayson's hand, shaking it once. "Please" He chuckled "Don't call me sir, you're making it seem like I'm old. Just call me Dom"
"Alright, Dom" He flashed a small smile.
Everyone I called family seemed to like Grayson. We talked and talked for ours and even played cards together.
It was the day Grayson had met my whole entire family.
When we were about to leave, I remember Dom saying,
"Take care of her alright? Break her heart and I'll break your neck" He gave him another friendly handshake, chuckling.
Grayson smiled "No problem, si- I mean Dom"
"And you, don't be a pain in the ass to him." Dominic pointed at me. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"We're going now" We hugged and left the motel.
We drove to his house, where we collapsed on his bed, smiling.
We talked about random stuff before he fell asleep and minutes later after he began snoring, I got up, feeling the cold wooden floor with my feet and walking out of the room.
There, Ethan waited for me patiently in the dark, leaning against the wall. Arms crossed.
"Let's go" He mumbled, taking my hand in his.
