4 BestFriends | 4 Lovers

Just The Two Of Us

Grayson's P.O.V

"Grayson", she began to say. I was scared to hear the words that would follow up next. What if she told me what happened between us was a mistake. And that we could never be more than friends. That would totally destroy me.

"Gray...I say we wonder the city just the 2 of us", she finished with a huge grin in her face.

"I think that sounds perfect", I say as I bring her close to set my arm around her shoulders.

We began to walk and talk about how beautiful the city looked in the night. How amazing the sky was, full of stars and the moon shinning high.

"You know what...", I begin to say.

"What?"

"I wished we did this more often. Like me and you. Just walking around in the night, listening to the sounds coming from the streets. You know?", I state looking at her beautiful face.

"I feel ya. Wished we could travel more often as well", she said holding on to my hand which was hanging on her right shoulder. "Sometimes I wonder who we would be or who would we hang out if we never met each other?"

I'd probably would have confessed my love to you already. "I wonder that as well", I lied.

"I'm glad we met and I'm glad I have you, y'all, by my side", she said getting closer to me.

"You're so sweet, Nessa", I say sending her a smile. I wished I was able to tell her everything, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship.

"So....any girlfriends?", she laughed while still holding on to my hand.

"Just you", I say trying to sound as playful as possible.

"Haha, very funny", she rolled her eyes. "Well let me just tell you, she's one fineass chick", she said making me burst into laughter. "What so funny?"

"Oh my god, please tell you just didn't", I laugh while holding onto her.

"Shut up", she said arching her eyebrows and pushing me away.

"No, come back", I say in between laughs. "I'm just kidding, you're a fineass chick.", I managed to say holding on my laughter and pulling her towards me.

"I'm going to get my boyfriend on you!", she states firmly.

"Geez, I'd like to meet him. Maybe become cool with him. Well I'd have to approve of him first and then you could date him", I joke.

"Calm down DAD!"

"Just kidding, you know I want the best for you though", I say even though I believed I was the best for her.

"Yeah like who? You?", she laughed.

"Maybe, just maybe", I laugh before realizing we've been flirting this whole time.

"Nice try, I'd think I'd pass", she giggled.

"Oh please, you'd totally hit on me if I wasn't your best friend", I smirk.

"Oh sweetie, you have it backwards. You would be the one and I'm sure you wouldn't stop until I would give in", she laughs poking my cheek.

"Of course I would, Nessa you're beautiful. Shit, you're gorgeous", I state looking directly at her eyes. As soon as those words came out of my mouth she got stiff. Crap! Did I just ruin everything?

"Geez Gray, thanks for boosting my self esteem high up to the sky", she smiled.

"That's what I'm here for. To be your motivation", I say sarcastically.

"Oh stop, I know you're there for me whenever and that's why I love you", she said and those last three words meant to me way more than what she actually meant.

"Sorry sweetie, this man is taken", I joke sending her a wink.

"Oh my bad, thought he was single and ready to mingle", she laughs while returning me the wink. Woah! What was happening?

"Baby, hit me up whenever", I whisper slowly into her ear making her cringe.

"Graysonnnnn!", she laughed.

"Just kidding...or am I", I laugh some more while pulling her more towards me.

"Graysonnn", she nearly yelled while trying her best to push me away.

"Okay okay, calm down."

We continue to walk around the city and for some reason we kept flirting without realizing it. I really didn't know where this was going to end.

"You think we should call Roni and Ethan?", she questions before sitting down in an empty bench.

"Yeah." I sit besides her and let my chin fall onto her shoulder. I was tired. I could totally take a nap right now. I heard her talking in the phone, which only meant we would need to meet them somewhere and that meant more walking.

"They said to meet them at the restaurant we were at", she told me while setting her soft hand on my cheek.

"Dang Nessa, you're hands are so soft", I say putting my hand on top of hers.

"C'mon we have to go."

I finally get up and we start walking the direction we thought we had come through. Maybe we were right maybe not, who knows.

Nessa was walking a bit faster than me and she kept leaving me behind so I reached for her hand and pulled her backwards. "Stop walking so fast", I begged.

"Gray, I wanna go to the hotel already. My feet hurt", she stated and I totally agreed with her.

"Here", I say picking her up bridal style.

"No Gray, what are you doing?"

"Gotta spoil my princess", I laughed while she let her head rest on my chest. She was so beautiful. So gorgeous. So amazing. I loved this girl. Loved her way too much for my own good.

I walked a bit longer before she begged me to let her walk instead. She didn't want to get me too tired since we were both tired enough.

"Thank you", she says smiling at me and going under my arm. "I feel protected when you have your arm around me", she states making me happy.
