~Two days later/ DAY FIVE~
I wake up happy. I remember two days ago and I feel warm inside, like there's nothing missing. I get up and walk down to the kitchen.
"Hey, do you have a date to the wedding yet?" Leila asks.
"Mmmm, I wish." I say after taking a bite out of toast.
"What about Jaxon?"
"Jaxon? Uhm, he's your older brother... wouldn't that be odd?"
"HeY Leila where's my tooth brush?!" I hear Ethan yell.
"Uhm- excuse me." Leila says before running off to help Ethan.
"Jaxon, huh?"
"Oh- jesus, Grayson." I say grasping my heart.
"You're taking Jaxon to the wedding?"
"I.. don't know." I respond.
"Hmmm, well if you don't wanna go with him you can always ask me." He says as he leans back on the kitchen chair. He's wearing his leather jacket and ripped jeans. I guess he catches me staring because he grins and squints," Take a picture, it'll last longer."
"Oh- I wasn't uhm.." My cheeks flare.
"Kidding." He says and stands up in front of me... very close to me. I smile a little and he does the same. He puts a strand of my hair behind my ear and kisses my cheek. I hear faint footsteps in the living room, coming towards the kitchen so I quickly pull away and pretend like nothing happened. I look at Grayson with a shocked expression... he KISSED me. I mean, it was on the cheek but still!
~Later~
"Sooo, do you have a date yet?" Leila asks as she sits down next to me on the couch.
"Uhm... well Jaxon and Grayson suggested that I ask them.."
"Oooh... that's a tough decision..." Leila takes a sip of her tea as she lifts her eyebrows.
"Who's Grayson?" I hear Jaxon ask from behind me.
"Mmm, he's the guy that asked me to dance two days ago at the club." I say nervously.
"Ohh, the really buff male that had a leather jacket in the hot ass club?"
"Yeah, that's me." Grayson says as he enters my house and plops next to me on the couch.
"Ah, hi I'm Jaxon Levin."
"I know." Grayson responds as he puts his arm around me. I tense up and look at Jaxon who also seems to be tense.
I smile nervously as the boys eye each other, "Oooh this is getting juicy." Leila says and everyone averts their gaze to her," What...?"
"Well, we all know who Alayna is gonna choose to go to the wedding with." Jaxon and Grayson say in unison.
"Me, not the dirty and living disgrace that SMOKES. Just in case you didn't know, Alayna doesn't endure nor like smoking." Jaxon says with a smirk.
I feel Grayson shift," Or, she could go for me. The one that didn't totally ignore her when it was pretty obvious that she had a crush. Annnd the one that she CURRENTLY has feelings for."
"Ok that's enough... Jaxon, Grayson isn't a disgrace. He's a really nice guy who has feelings. Now I'm going to sleep. Goodnight everyone." I say before hugging Leila, kissing Grayson on the cheek, and smiling at Jaxon. Ok, so maybe what Jaxon said pissed me off. he had no right to call Grayson a disgrace.
I get up to my bedroom, close the door, and start changing. I'm about to unbuckle my bra before Grayson rushes into my room and hugs me. I'm shocked but I don't want to seem rude so I hug him back.
"Thanks..." he says.
"Mm... for what?"
"For saying what you said. Other than for Ethan, nobody has ever NOT called me a disgrace."
"Oh... well you're welcome I guess." I say," You're really not a disgrace, you like what you like and you shouldn't be shunned for it... except if it's something MAJOR."
"Yeah..." I still sensed a little bit of discomfort in his body and voice so I decided to ask him something to change the topic.
"Uhm... wanna go somewhere?" I ask.
"Mmm, where?"
I grab the collar of his jacket and smile," Just follow me."
~The place...~
"Where are we?" Grayson asks, still covering his eyes with his left hand.
"Alright... I think you can open your eyes now."
Grayson does as I say and uncovers his eyes. He looks around in shock and amazement at all the lights in the city of Manhattan. I look at him and smile, he seems happy.
"This is really-- just wow."Grayson takes a hold of my hand.
"Yeah... we're on my house's roof." I reply.
Grayson coughs," Hmm? Your r-roof... as in u-up... h-high up?"
"Uhh, yeah. Wait-" he's afraid of heights. Of course.
"Uhm..." He looks down a side of the roof and turns back immediately.
"It's ok..." I walk closer to Grayson and take his hand in mine. I pull him closer to the center of my roof and take a seat with him.
I hear Grayson's heart beating fast. He puts an arm around me as I lay on his thigh. I look up at him and I just stare at the beautiful human being that is Grayson- wait... what's his last name?
"Hey..." I begin.
"Mmm?"
"What's your full name?"
"Grayson Dolan." He responds while looking me straight in the eye.
I frown," No middle name?"
"I don't tell anyone my FULL name. I tell them my first and last." He leans back again and stares straight ahead. I guess he notices me staring at him with a longing to know his middle name so he rolls his eyes and looks at me once more," It's Bailey. My middle name is Bailey, i know, weird, Whatever."
"What? Weird? I like it... it's unique and it suits your name for sure." I grab his hand and just hold it.
"What's you full name?"
"Alayna Camille Garcia." I say.
I look up and see Grayson smiling. Jesus why and how is he so hot?!
