My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 11 - Sofa Sleeping

Back at the Warehouse, Grayson decided to jump into the shower, leaving Ethan and I alone to talk.
"You want some pancakes?" He asked.
"We just ate pizza"
"Suit yourself" he shrugged. He made me laugh, it felt like we'd been friends for years. Joining Ethan in the kitchen, I leant against a counter, studying him. He was so much more than perfect in person, so was Grayson. I didn't think it was possible if I was being honest with myself.
"He likes you yknow" Ethan said, breaking the silence and my train of thought.
"Who?" He turned to face me.
"Who do you think?" He laughed. I looked at the floor to hide my smile.
"We're friends".
"Please, I've seen the way he looks at you." I stood staring at Ethan unsure of what to reply with.
"I don't blame him for liking you" he turned to finish putting strawberries and cream onto his pancakes.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I mean... I get why he likes you is all"
Suddenly the bathroom door opened and through it came a wet haired Grayson, along with steam cloud. He came to join us in the kitchen.
"I'm going to bed" Ethan said yawning. "Goodnight guys"
"Goodnight E" we replied.

Grayson walked over to the sink next to me, filled up a water bottle and set it on the side. He looked down at me.
"You must be tired". He brushed a piece of hair away from my face and I had to look down at my phone to distract myself from blushing.
I'll admit, Grayson was slightly intimidating when he was this close to me.
Checking the time, it was 11PM already.
"My jet lag hasn't fully kicked in yet, but I am 8 hours infront of you and it's 7AM for me."
"Wanna sit and watch a movie until you fall asleep?"
"Sure" I agreed.
Grayson flipped out his sofa to reveal a sofa bed, turned the TV on and began to scroll through Netflix. I sat beside him and we debated over what movie to watch. He let me watch Shaun of the Dead in the end, my favourite movie. Halfway through, Grayson must have noticed my jet lag kicking in because he put his arm around me and told me it was okay to fall asleep if I needed to. None of this still felt real and I spent most of the day trying to convince myself it wasn't. Part of me didn't want to fall asleep incase, when I woke up, it was all a dream.

Grayson's POV
I'm not quite sure when she fell asleep. All I know is one second she was wide awake and the next, she was asleep in my arms. I must admit, my arm had slowly become numb, but I didn't want to move incase I woke her. She looked so peaceful and I still couldn't get over the fact that this girl, this amazing girl was right here. She lives 6000 miles away but she was right here with me. It all felt too good to be true. I didn't want her to leave, ever. I knew this goodbye would kill me. It sounded crazy to think I've only known her for about a month and I felt like this.

All of a sudden, she wriggled down the bed slightly, laid her head on my chest and put her arm over me. Which was a bonus in itself because I could finally begin to feel my dead arm again.
A piece of her hair fell into her face, I gently brushed it behind her ear and studied her face closely.
"I want to tell you how much I care about you" I whispered to her. "Would you ever feel the same way about me? ... Probably not." I sighed, leant my head against her's and fell asleep.

Ethan's POV
Walking into the living room, I found Kyla and Grayson sleeping on the sofa. Normally Gray and I would be awake by now but I knew Kyla's jet lag would be in full force so I let them sleep a little longer and began my day with working out, showering and then breakfast.
As much as I tried not thinking about it, I had to be honest with myself, Kyla's cute. I'd spoken to her many times. I get why Gray likes her, I do, and I'm happy that he's found someone who understands him. But if I'm being honest, I like her too.

(Who should Kyla be with? 😱
Let me know what you think!
