Strange Love

Chapter 16: Jealousy

Your POV
As soon as Ethan disappeared into the bathroom, Meredith became a little too suspicious with Grayson and I.

She snapped her head towards me first, and eyed me up and down. She squints her eyes and scrunches her nose. Her face goes back to normal as she begins a conversation with Grayson and I.

"So how long has THIS been a thing?" She asks making sassy hand gestures.

"Umm today. I just made it official." Grayson said holding my hand.

"And that thing you had with Ethan?" She continued.

Grayson jerks his head towards me as if asking that question himself with his eyes. I nervously look at him and back to Meredith.

"Umm, I didn't have a 'thing' with him." I say slowly.

Grayson sighed and Meredith rolled her eyes to my response. She didn't seem too satisfied with my answer; and I have no idea why. She places her hand on her hip and continues.

"Oh, come on! I know you two had a thing; he told me so." She explained.

I glance at Grayson, but he just keeps his eyes on the floor. I walk in front of him and move his face towards mine. He gives me a weak smile and lets go of my hand.

"Gray, where are you-"

"I have two go to sleep. Goodnight y/n." He says interrupting me while walking upstairs.

I sigh and look back at Meredith; she has a stupid evil smirk on her face as if she just won an argument. I don't know what the hell HER problem is, but I wish I could slap it off of her.

"Did I say something?" She asks stupidly.

"Trust me, you've said plenty." I growled.

I quickly turn around and sprint upstairs and into Grayson's room. We literally JUST became official, and now we're having problems within the same day. Hopefully he isn't too upset.

Grayson's POV
As soon as I close my door, I threw myself on my bed and think. I don't know if I should believe Meredith or not; usually she just wants to start unneeded drama. But something inside of me says that it's somewhat true.

But I don't think y/n would do that to me, I mean, we literally JUST started our relationship. Why would she jeopardize that?

Suddenly, I hear mumbled voices followed with multiple footsteps, trailing up to my door. Once it opened, I lift my head up from my pillow and see y/n walking to me.

"Grayson, please don't think that I would do that to you. I would NEVER hurt you, I mean, come on! I was with you all day! How could I possibly be with Ethan if I've been with you?" She babbled.

"Y/n," I say before she continues.

"And I have no idea what that stupid, bitch's problem is, but nothing happened today. She's probably trying to start something." She said nervously.

"Y/n," I said calling her attention.

She lifts her head up to me and crosses her arms. I pat down on my sheets after sitting up. She sighs and slowly walks to my bed, and plops on the sheets beside me. I grab her by the hand and bring it up to my lips; gently pecking her knuckles.
