Grayson's Heart

Chapter Ten

"Oh my God! How are you Em?" My bestfriend from home screeched through the phone. I couldn't resist the smile that crossed my face at the sound of her voice.

"I'm actually doing well Margo. I've made at least one....friend," I answer, hesitating slightly. As I should've expected she latches on to my pause immediately. "Friend? Does this friend happen to be a boy who you like?"

I can't stop a fierce blush from brightening my cheeks. She squeals painfully loud as I laugh.

"Who is he? What's he like? Is he hot?"

I shrug, "his name is Grayson, he's amazing, and yes he's very hot." She squeals again, louder if that's possible. "I'm so happy for you Em!"

"Enough about me, how are you hon?" She sighs. "I miss you so much. Nothing is the same. And...nevermind..." she trails off.

"Tell me."

"Lincoln has gone off the rails again. He's still spreading the rumors and claiming you're his girlfriend. We think he's on drugs," Margo says softly. I go silent, my chest struggles to rise and allow oxygen in.

No. No no no no no! I can't catch a fucking break!

"Are you there Em?"

I nod but I'm not. I'm not okay. "Yeah. I gotta go." I hang up before she can begin talking.

Why would he do this to me? Wasn't it enough to ruin my life there? I pick up the phone without thinking and press Grayson's contact. The phone rings for what seems like forever. "Hey what's up Em?" He says. His voice is just what I need to hear. A sob breaks out of my mouth. "Em? Are you okay? What's wrong?"

I struggle to speak through my tears but manage to get the words out, "can you come over?"

"Yes. I'll be right there Em, I promise."

"Thank you," I say as I hug my knees. "No need to thank me. Just hold on." He hangs up and I fall on my side and clutch my blanket.

Why do these things keep happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?

Maybe I was too weak and trusting. Maybe I was just an easy target.

The minutes fly by and I hear the front door open. I know it's Gray because I told him where to find the spare key weeks ago. My bedroom door creaks open and I see his handsome face twisted in concern.

"Oh Em."

That's all it takes. It's like a dam has burst and heaving, loud sobs leave my body.

He rushes to my side and climbs into my bed with me. I turn into his chest, feeling his warm hands wrap around me.

"Shh, it's okay baby. I have you," he comforts. His words soothe me but his kindness brings more tears. I clutch his shirt in my fists, my tears drenching his plain black t-shirt.

"Why do bad things keep happening to me?" I cry loudly.

"What happened Em?"

"Fucking Lincoln. He won't stop!"

Gray tried to sit up but I tug him back down to me. "I need more that that Em," he says as his hand rubs up and down my back.

"Later. I just need you right now."

I feel him nod and tension deep from his body. "Okay baby. I'm here, I got you."

I don't know how long we lay like that but eventually I'm all cried out and fall asleep against his warmth.

By the time I wake up it's dark outside. A quick glance at my clock tells me it's seven at night. Grayson is sound asleep and light snores slip through his lips, it's endearing in a way. He lays on his back now and I'm draped over him. "Gray," I whisper to wake him.

He doesn't even twitch so I nudge a little and when that brings about no results I grab his shoulder and shake.

His eyes slowly open and he looks down at me.

"How are you doing?" He says, sleep still hanging onto his words. "I'm okay. Thank you for staying with me Gray." He nods, "obviously I was gonna stay. I'm not gonna leave my girl when she says she needs me." I giggle quietly.

I stretch to kiss him lightly. "It's late. A little past seven," I say. Grayson shrugs nonchalantly, "that's fine. Unless you want me to leave?"

My head shakes no before he can even finish his sentence.

"I like you here," I say a little louder. This boy has reduced me to a giggly, blushing mess. I kiss him softly again. And again. And again.

He kisses me back this time. More forcefully than my light ones. His hand snakes down my back and clutches my ass to shift me fully on top of him. I go willingly, hoping with all my might that he doesn't stop us this time.

Both of our breathing speeds up as we kiss longer and harder.

I can't help myslef and begin to grind against the growing bulge between his legs. "Fuck," he hisses. I smile with victory and lean down a little further to kiss his neck.

He let's lose a moan and both of his hands reach down to my ass and push my me harder and faster against him.

I feel him hit just the right place and suck in a gasp loudly.

He sits up and pull off my shirt quickly. "You are so fucking beautiful Em." I cry out as he pulls my bra cup down and takes my breast into his mouth. "Oh my God Gray."

I start yanking at his shirt and he chuckles loudly. "Impatient baby?" I nod, no use in denying it.

He pulls away and helps me pull off his shirt. As soon as his shirt is off he wastes no time riding me of my bra. I follow suit and begin going for his belt buckle. His hands rest on mine, stopping them. Dammit it Grayson don't stop this again!

"Are you sure Em?" Relief pours through me and I nod. "Yes, I'm sure Gray, so sure."

He releases my hands and allows me to get his belt and jeans undone. He shifts so I fall off of him onto my back. His jeans finally come off and I can't help but reach for him through his boxers. "Fuck! Jesus Em," he groans, his eyes closing.

I laugh and begin to stroke. "No no no. You're gonna make me cum Em. Not yet," he says as he leans down and kisses me.

I feel his fingers hook into my jeans and  panties. He keeps kissing me as he pulls them down until he can't reach anymore and pulls away to finish taking them off. He stands and look down at me. I feel exposed and reach to cover myslef. "So. Fucking. Gorgeous."

He leans down on top of me and kisses me. I moan as I feel him rub against me. "Gray," I whisper, my voice full of need.

He nods and pulls away one last time to pick up a foil packet from his wallet. He rolls on the condom and leans on me again. "Are you ready baby?"

"Yes. God yes Gray."

********

This update took awhile I know. I'm sorry. I don't mean to keep y'all waiting.

I'm currently working on another book while I write this and because this one and that one are so drastically different it takes me awhile to switch into each mentality.

Also, since classes are starting next month progress is going to slow down.

But anyone thank you all for reading and giving me such great feedback. I appreciate you all!
