Heartbeat // Grayson Dolan

2. [pizza & break-ups]

Teala's POV

"Hey!" Grayson says brightly, getting into the passengers seat of the car.

I smile, loving how positivity is always radiating off of this boy. "Wassup nigga bitch?" I reply.

He drops his smile and turns to me. "Just had to kill the vibe didn't you?"

"I was just saying hi, damn." I say turning away.

He laughs before grasping my chin and turning my head. I look up at him through my eyelashes.

There is a little bit of scruff on his face, from not shaving in a couple days. This hair is still resting against his forehead, but more fixed up. His wing is dangling from his ear and his lips are a little glossy, probably from chapstick.

"Sup Teala?" Ethan says, climbing into the back seat. Grayson let's go of my face, which kind of disappoints me as the warmth from his hand comforted me.

"Hey Eth, I thought I told yo ass to be ready when I got here?" I say changing the gear and pulling out of their driveway. "I was about to leave you."

"Yeah, OKAY." He says sarcastically before grabbing the aux cord that rested on my armrest.

Tony's wasn't that far away from the Dolan residence, so it was dumb of him to pick up the aux in the first place.

The drive is quiet as Tame Impala plays through the car. I hum along to the music.

As we are nearing the restaurant, Grayson grabs my hand that rested on my lap and started to play with it, closely examining it.

He rubs the back of my hand before moving to the ring that was on my middle finger, twisting it. I smile, enjoying how interested Grayson is.

His brows furrow as he begins to play with my acrylic nails. "Why do you get these?" He asks.

"I like them. I think their pretty."

"I do too, but don't they get annoying?"

"Yeah."

"I wouldn't wear them, they'd get too annoying." He says, softly releasing my hand.

"Beauty is pain Gray, beauty is pain."

Not much later, we arrive at the famous Tony's, and excitement rushes through me making me smile.

We love a good pizza.

I pull the keys out of the ignition and open my door. "Let's do that thang!" I say running to the entrance. I can hear the twins laugh, also hopping out of the car.

I take a look back at my beautiful car, which I worked my ass off for.

I literally worked at McDonalds for a year and a half for this beautiful, white Lexus. I could almost cry at the sight.

I pull open the door and I am greeted with a girl that looks about our age. "Hi! How many?" She asks.

"Three please," I reply with the same amount of kindness she gave.

She nods and grabs three menus before leading us to a table in the back of the restaurant. Thank God we're away from the door. I don't want to feel cold air every time someone walks in.

The establishment only has a few people, which makes sense since it is only about 11:30.

I sit down next to Ethan, Grayson sitting opposite of us, and the waitress announces she'll give us a few minutes.

I watch as Ethan watches her walk away, his lip trapped between his teeth.

"Ethan stop biting yo lip, I didn't realize you were that hungry," I say nudging his arm.
