Falling For my Best Friend || Grayson

eight

Grayson's POV

"tell me it's not-" i say as she picks up the phone. 

"Grayson... i gotta go. i'll be over soon" she says, sounding shocked.

"Riley, don't you dare hang up o-" i yell before she hangs up.

you've got to be fucking kidding me. 

I hear Ethan run down the stairs and he looks confused. "what? what happened?" 

"Trent's here" i spit.

"Trent? who's- oh... why is he here?" he says, sitting on the couch.

"he's probably just here because he's worried about her or some shit. Riley said he's over protective" i say rubbing the stubble on my chin. "i just don't get why they're still together"

Riley's POV

"Trent... why are you here?" i ask. i'm still in shock from seeing him.

"gee, it's nice to finally see you too?" he says giving me a look and walking in. he hugs me and i kiss him really quick. i'm honestly kind of bummed. i didn't want to have him here when i'm with the guys. there's nothing to worry about, but i know he'll find something to question.

"so... what's up?" i ask, trying to get answers.

"well, i figured since i haven't seen you for a while and there was a shooting, i might as well fly out to see you..." he grabs my hand and intertwines his fingers with mine. "so are you still going to Grayson's house tonight?"

"yeah, i was just over here to grab some games and i was going to go get some food. i can ask if you can come, if you want to" i say and he nods.

Grayson's POV

Riley: wanna run to walmart and grab some food?

Grayson: is he going?

Riley: no, but he wants to come to your place tonight

Grayson: ugh. fine. i'll pick you up in 10

i put my phone in my pocket and run up to grab a sweatshirt. "Ethan! Riley and I are going to walmart if you wanna come!" i shout and Ethan pops his head into my room.

"okay. why are we going?" he asks.

"we need food for tonight. and i need to figure out why the hell Trent is coming tonight".

i get in the car and Ethan gets in the passenger seat. on the way to Riley's house Ethan and i talk about her. he knows i have a thing for her, but he hates seeing me sit around waiting for her to break up with him.

-----

we get to walmart and Riley jumps on my back. i carry her around and she holds basket in her hands. Ethan walks behind us and i can tell he's shaking his head at us. we walk up and down the aisles and she grabs several things and puts them in the basket. 

"need anything, Ethan?" she asks as we continue walking. "condoms? lube? a new personality?" she laughs and i try not to laugh, but fail. i turn back and look at him and he rolls his eyes.

"i've got plenty of condoms, thanks!" he says back. i hear a smack and Riley yells, "ow! Ethan stop slapping my ass!" 

yeah E, that will be my job soon. get it together. 

"get your ass out of my face then!" he says and she hops off of my back, flipping him off. 

Riley's POV

we walk up to the register and i turn to face Ethan again. "you sure you don't need condoms?" i joke. "depends, are you friends hot?" he fires back. i pretend to gag and he laughs. Grayson's shaking his head and takes out his wallet. "ya nasty!" he says and pays for the food.

-----

we head back to my house to pick Trent up and i can tell Grayson's annoyed again. "be nice, guys. he already doesn't trust me with you"

"no promises" Grayson says under his breath and pulls into my driveway. i hop out of the car and grab my bag and the games. i head back outside and Trent and i get in the back seat.

"so, this is the famous 'Grayson'" he says, smirking.

"so, this is the not-so-famous 'Trent'" Grayson says glancing at him and i lean forward and thump him in the head. 

the drive back to their house is incredibly awkward. we get there and i set the food in the kitchen. the guys get here a few minutes later and all start yelling when the door opens. i roll my eyes and laugh, turning on the speakers. "Dirty Laundry" by blackbear starts playing as they run into the kitchen and Cameron smacks my ass. i laugh and push him away. Trent doesn't look happy but i ignore it.

Alex points over at him and looks at me. "who dat" he says. 

"my boyfriend, Trent" all of their eyes widen as they grab some food. i hear the girls get here and i scream and run towards the door. i swing it open and they all scream too.

the guys cover their ears and we laugh at them. "man up!" i yell, looking at them all. Grayson's hooking up the Wii and looking through the games when i walk over to him. Trent's talking to the guys and i pretend to be helping him pick a game. "you okay?" i ask and he nods, putting in Wii Sports. 

"i'm fine Riley, stop worrying about me" i nod and grab some remotes. "alright, let's do this!!!" i yell, handing out remotes. 

-----

Grayson's POV

after a while we switch to Mario Kart, and i'm kicking everyone's ass. i win my third game in a row and drop the remote. i start to flex and everyone starts laughing. the song "Mr. Steal Your Girl" by Trey Songz starts playing and i start laughing. 

little does Trent know...

we play one more round and Trent is in 1st place. i lick my lips as i focus and pass him, winning again. i jump up and dance and everyone groans.

"shut the fuck up Grayson" Trent says, rolling his eyes.

bitch i will punch you so fucking hard you won't have to pay for a flight back home.

"aww, are you mad?" i taunt. 

"Grayson, stop" Riley says and Trent kisses her. i pretend to throw up and everyone laughs again.

"dude, what's your problem?" 

"you're my fucking problem!"

"why!? because i'm dating Riley!? are you mad because you can't have her!?"

"dunno, are you mad because i kissed her while you where across the co-

"Grayson!" Riley screams and i cover my mouth.

oh fuck.

"you kissed my girlfriend!?" he said standing up and getting ready to swing at him. Nate grabbed his arm and pulled him back. i look at Riley and tears are forming in her eyes. "i think it's time you all went home..." Ethan said, opening the door.

-----

Riley's POV

i'm so sick of all of this fighting. Grayson didn't like Trent, Trent didn't like any of the guys, and Trent was honestly driving me crazy. 

"Trent, can you go wait outside for a sec..." i say sighing and he nods, looking at the floor. he goes outside and Grayson hugs me.

"i'm so sorry, it just slipped out of my mouth and i didn't want to say it i just-"

"Grayson stop. it's fine. he would've found out eventually so it's fine. can i borrow your car to take him back to his hotel? i'll come back later" i ask and he nods, handing me the keys.

i step outside and Grayson stops me.

"R-Riley?" he says and his voice squeaks a little. i turn around and adjust my purse on my arm.

"i think i like you Riley..." he says and i slowly turn back around.

"i know Grayson" i say and walk out, leaving him standing in the doorway.

so...? will Trent and Riley breakup soon? thoughts???
