Within The Lights. (Series)

Chapter 8 - L.A., Baby.

"So, when's Greyson getting here?"

"Tomorrow."

"How long's he staying?"

"Three days, I think."

"Huh."

"Yeah. Just like old times."

"You mean last month?" Cody laughed.

I rolled my eyes at him with a smirk.

"Well, I promised I'd be the first one to wish you happy birthday, so be expecting a phone call at midnight." Cody warned jokingly.

"I swear if you wake me up at midnight tonight I will have you decapitated." I shot at him.

"Whoa, harsh." he raised his eyebrows.

"Don't wake me up." I shrugged.

"Too bad." he laughed.

"Would you two stop the flirt-fest over there?" Taylor scoffed.

"What, you don't like it?" I asked sarcastically.

"You know why I don't like it." she muttered.

"Because you ship mason." I rolled my eyes. "It's not going to happen, Taylor. Get over it."

"I will never." she scoffed.

"Mason? I didn't think that was an actual thing." Cody raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"It's not. Taylor just thinks it is." I rolled my eyes.

"It'll happen!" she demanded.

"In your dreams!" I shot back.

"You know it!" she laughed.

"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes with a smirk.

Cody laughed and shook his head. "Girls. Whatcha gonna do?"

"Shut up!" I scoffed.

"Well!" he shrugged.

"Well, he says he's got a big surprise for me when he gets here," I wrinkled my nose in anticipation, "and I'm trying not to over think weather or not I should be excited or worried."

"With Greyson, you should be a little of both." Cody laughed.

"Guess who's here!?"

"Greyson!" I yelled, falling off the couch, tripping over the step and kicking my dog on my dash to the door.

He laughed. "Three weeks and you haven't changed a bit."

"I hope that was sarcastic, because three weeks isn't much time for someone to change." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Yup, still the same." he shook his head.

"Ryan! Greyson's here!" I called.

"Hi Greyson!" came the reply from upstairs.

"Or you could get up and say hello!" I snapped.

"Or you could not tell me what to do!"

I rolled my eyes and turned back to Greyson. "So, what's that big surprise you had for me?" I asked.

"Not yet. You'll get it tonight at your party." he smirked.

"I have a feeling it's gonna harm me in some way." I said cautiously.

"I sure hope not." he grimaced.

"Happy birthday, Macy!" Taylor beamed, hugging me tightly. Greyson and Cody joined her.
