Illusion

Chapter: 3

~Recap

"It's true. He does. Even Johordan noticed it. And I'm sure if Johordan noticed it, it must be true." Nessa said and I smiled so fucking wide, my cheeks hurt.

"Ugh, I just hope it ends well.."

"Grayson seems different. Ashlea, you have to be confident in yourself. Show him you. Be confident around him. You need to grow the balls and do it and I'm sure it will all end well." Nessa said and I nodded.

"I agree. Be confident girl! Get some of that fine ass!" Paytn said and I howled with laughter, earning Annessa and Paytn to join in on it.

"You know what?" I said as I finished laughing. Nessa and Paytn both looked over to me. "I am. I'm gonna fucking be confident from now on. Who cares if I get him or not. If he doesn't like me for me, then I deserve better."

"There ya go!" Nessa exclaimed.

"At a girl! Go get em!" Paytn said in a weird voice and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't shoot me!" I heard Grayson yell. I turned my head back at the boys and I saw Grayson freaking out.

"Oh boy." I giggled. I turned back around. "I gotta pee."

"Then go pee." Nessa laughed.

"Tmi." Paytn stated. I rolled my eyes.

I was just about to get up when I heard running and I saw Grayson out of the corner of my eye. I literally had no time to move. The next thing I knew, he had jumped onto my lap and wrapped his arms around my neck, which made us flip over backwards in the chair.

I landed hard on the ground on my back with Grayson on top of me. He was literally laying across and on top of me. I was not expecting that to happen.

"Or maybe he'll be getting it." I heard Nessa say to Paytn and I sent her a glare, making her laugh with Paytn.

"Wasn't expecting that." I giggled. Grayson's face was a few inches away from mine.

"Sorry, I was done getting shot at, but E and Johordan thought it was funny shooting me. But I knew they weren't gonna shoot you so I ran to you." Grayson explained, running short of breath.

"It's okay." I giggled. "I just wasn't expecting it. You know Gray, if you just wanted my protection, you could've just asked." I looked at him, earning him to smile.

"Okay but seriously, can you get off of me, I really need to pee and having you push into my bladder isn't helping much."

"Oh, sorry!" Gray got off of me and he helped me off the ground.

"Okay, I'll be back." I stated and turned towards the house.

"I'll go with you. I need to go charge my phone." Grayson stated as he started to walk with me.

"Okay." I looked over to him and smiled.

When we got into the basement, I ran into the bathroom and quickly did my business. After I did, I spritzed some more perfume on me because why not?

I walked out of the bathroom and Gray was walking out of the room him and Ethan were staying in. I walked over to my vanity and I grabbed a ponytail and brushed my hair, throwing it up.

"Ashlea?" Gray said. He was looking at me through the mirror on the wall.

"Yeah Gray?" I turned around to face him.

"I-" He said but stopped himself.

"What Gray?" I asked, kind of confused. He was looking down at his fingers and feet. He wouldn't look at me.
