Falling For my Best Friend || Grayson

nine

Riley's POV

it's early in the morning when my alarm goes off. i get up and throw a different pair of clothes on and pull my hair back into a messy bun. i grab my keys, purse and shoes before heading out to my car. i had returned Grayson's car back to him after i took Trent back to his hotel the other day. He stayed for a few days and he constantly bickered with Grayson. 

As i drove i started to think about school. it's homecoming week and i don't know if i want to go. if i do it would probably just be with the girls since i'm taking Trent to the airport right now. i pull up to the hotel and wait for a while. it's 6:07. he better hurry so that i have time to get ready for school or i'm going to be pissed.

he comes out a few minutes later and throws his suitcase in the back before sitting down in the passenger seat. i quickly drive to the airport as Trent turns up the radio and yawns. 

when we get there i hug him and say goodbye. as much as he bothered me this week i would still miss him. 

"love you. call me when you get back home" i say, kissing him.

"love you too. i'm going to miss you so much" he says and i start tearing up. he hugs me tight and i inhale, smiling when i smell his cologne. i say my final goodbye and head back to my car.

i jump when i hear honking. i stick my head out of my window and hush Grayson and Ethan outside. "my dad's asleep!" i whisper-shout. i grab my stuff and head outside, getting in the back seat of Grayson's car. he looks back at me, "get rid of him?" he asks and i nod. i let out a sigh and lay down across the back seat. "tired?" he asks and i groan. "i had to take him to the airport this morning..." i whine as the car starts to move.

"that sucks. so are you going to homecoming?" he asks and i stare up at the roof of his car.

"i don't know... i might go with the girls. i haven't thought about it much. i went with Trent last year so..." 

"you should go! it's fun!" Ethan says but i don't respond.

the last bell of the day rings and i head towards Grayson's car. i can't wait to go home and take a nap. and remind me not to wear heeled boots to school ever again or my feet might fall off. when i get to his car i see him sitting on the hood and he hops off when he sees me.

 i look over and see a teddy bear, flowers, and a poster. it says "i'd be BEARY happy if you went to homecoming with me (:". i giggle and pick up the stuff. "i would love to, Grayson" i hug him and a few people start cheering in the parking lot. i feel my face turning red and get in the back seat. the twins get in and take me home. i'm smiling most of the ride home. i don't deserve him.

"go inside, take a nap, and be ready by 7. i made dinner reservations" he says and my jaw drops.

"Gray, this is too mu-"

"it's my treat. just go relax for now" he says pulling into my driveway and i smile.

It's almost 7 when i glance at myself in the mirror and dust off my pants. i'm wearing blue skinny jeans, a black off the shoulder top and black heels. i had straightened my hair and done my makeup after i showered. i dug through my purses and found a black one that matched my outfit and put my wallet and a few other necessities in it. 

i open my snapchat and take a picture of my in my mirror and send it to Ethan trying to get an opinion on my outfit. don't ask why i sent it to Ethan out of all people, because i don't know either. i open his response and smile when i see a picture of him and Cameron in the car posing together. "Cute AF". i click the snapchat expecting it to disappear but instead i see them posing again. this time it says "SIKE" and i roll my eyes.
