Falling For my Best Friend || Grayson

twenty one

Grayson's POV

i know, i shouldn't be doing this, but i hate the idea of her being alone while she's sick. i shouldn't be going against her dad's rules, but whatever. i'll just be quiet. 

i pull up to her house and quietly get out of the car. i gently shut my door, trying not to be loud. i walk to the back of the house where the ladder was and carry it to the side of her house. i place it on the roof and run back to my car, grabbing the food.

i never thought i'd be carrying food up a ladder to my girlfriend. my girlfriend... that's going to take a while to get used to.

i carefully step onto the roof and knock on her window. she jumps a little and opens the window. i hand her the food and climb in. 

"thank you!" she says as i climb in. i kiss her and she smiles. 

"hungry?" i ask and she nods. i sit down on her bed and she sits beside me. she coughs before she starts to dig through the bag. she puts a fry in her mouth and groans. i hush her and laugh.

"we don't need to get caught" i say taking one of her fries. we talk as she eats, until we hear a knock.

"Riley?". we both stop talking and she looks at the door.

"what?"

"Ri, i know you're mad, and i'm sorry. i just think you need some time by yourself... are you hungry?"

"no dad. i'm fine" she says.

"okay... just let me know if you need anything..." he says and we hear his footsteps as he walks away. we both sigh and laugh quietly. 

"i should get home, Ri" i say as i stand up. she fake smiles and nods. i lean down and kiss her before climbing back onto the roof. "bye Ri" i say, grinning. she giggles and waves before i walk over to the ladder and climb back down. 

i pick up the ladder and put it back in the backyard and quickly head back to my car. i look up into her window as i turn my car on. she's watching me, smiling. she waves one last time and i smile. i wave back before pulling away from her house.

Riley's POV

i groan as i roll over, turning my alarm clock off. yeah, not happening today. i grab my phone and text Grayson, letting him know i'm staying home today before rolling back over. 

after a while, there's a knock at my door. "what..." i groan into my pillow.

"are you awake?"

"i'm sick. i'm not going to school"

"okay then..." he says and walks away. i sigh and drift back off. 

i groan when i hear another knock at my door. i had been asleep for 30 more minutes and i sit up. "what dad!? i said i'm sick!" i say, annoyed. 

the door opens and i hear a laugh. i rub my eyes and see it's Grayson. "what are you doing here... is my dad here? you can't be here..." i say, still half asleep.

"well, first of all, i'm not used to being called dad, but i could get used to it. the cop car isn't here so i think he left" he smirks and i roll my eyes. "how're you feeling?" he asks, sitting at the end of my bed. 

"i feel the way i look. like shit" i laugh and he smiles. 

"i disagree, but i hope you feel better" he says before kissing my forehead. "can't be late, and Ethan's waiting. get some sleep". i nod and lay back down.

"i'll call you later. text me when you wake up" he says as he shuts the door behind him.
