My BestFriend, Grayson

Chapter 15 - Admit It

"What did he want?"
"He said Mom's at home, she wants to see you". He held his hand out, "Come on".
The drive back to the warehouse was a little awkward considering everything that happened.
"Sorry you didn't get to surf".
"Sorry you didn't get to watch" he joked.
I punched him playfully, "stop". He grabbed my hand and held it while using his other to steer.
"You're cute when you're embarrassed" he looked at me, smirking.

Back at the Warehouse, Grayson did his normal routine of opening the doors for me.
"Kyla sweetheart, there you are!" Lisa said as I walked through the door. I hugged her.
We all sat in the living room talking for a while. Ethan said he'd been with Lisa all day, gathering fireworks as it was almost Bonfire Night. Lisa didn't stay for long, only an hour or so. Grayson drove her home.

"So how was your day?" Ethan asked as he made pancakes.
"Pretty good"
"What's going on with you and Gray?" He blurted out of no where.
"What do you mean?"
"It's pretty obvious you like each other, you spend everyday talking." I didn't reply.
"You're not gonna give me the speech about how you're friends again?" I just laughed.
"Why're you so interested in me and Gray?"
Ethan walked over to me, looked me in the eyes, licked his lips and then grabbed a plate from behind me.
"He's my baby brother" he said with a smirk.
I took a deep breath, "I'm going to bed, goodnight E"
"Sleep well".
I decided to sleep in Gray's room tonight, I needed to be alone to gather my thoughts. So much had happened in such a small amount of time.

Ethan's POV
Grayson came back around 9:30PM. Kyla was already asleep, I checked. Since she didn't give anything away, I tried speaking to Gray about it.
"Yo Gray, what's going on between you and Kyla?"
"We're fr-.."
"Don't give me that shit, Gray. You like her. You know it, I know it, she knows it, Mom knows it."
"Why do you care?" he confronted me.
"You're my brot-.."
"You like her bro. Why else would you be so interested in me and her?" I had no idea how to reply. Hoping to get out of this conversation, I grabbed my empty plate and took it to the kitchen. Gray followed behind.
"You do, don't you?" He continued.
"Gray... I don't like her."
"You're a terrible liar and you know it". He sounded annoyed. "You're gonna do this shit to me again, E?" I still didn't reply.
"So if you don't like her, you wouldn't be bothered by the fact we kissed today. Or that we spent all day together". My heart sank.
"I'm going to bed". As I walked past him, he grabbed my shoulder.
"Admit it." As I shoved his hand from my shoulder, he stood infront of me.
"Admit it and I'll move".
"Fine! I like her! I like Kyla. Are you happy? Can I go to bed now?" He stepped aside looking slightly upset and annoyed, I said goodnight and went to bed.

Kyla's POV
Since I fell asleep at 9:30PM, I found myself awake at 3AM. As I was thirsty, I decided to sneak downstairs and get a glass of water. I knew Grayson would be asleep on the sofa bed and I didn't want to wake him. I'll admit that I watched him sleep for a few minutes. He looked so peaceful.

'Yeah, what're you doing up?'
'Couldn't sleep 🙃'
'Want me to come keep you company?'
