Our little secret // g.d

1| if only

This story was started before the falling out/scandal with James. Please keep that in mind while you read this. In this story there was no scandal and there was no falling out with the sister squad.

"I hope you guys like this makeup look and if you did give this video a like and subscribe and come back next week for another video!"

This was Andrea's whole world. Her YouTube channel. All she does is work, film, edit, upload, repeat. Same goes for all her social media's. It's all she focused on. It was her job after all. Except for the occasional shopping spree or hang out with her friends. But that was rare. Her focus was only on building her YouTube channel and making her 5.2 million fans happy.

For Andrea, it wasn't about the money, friends, or even a boyfriend. To her, it was strictly about her passion for makeup. The money was a given with her social status. Friends, however, were a little hard to come by. She only had a few really close friends, only one of them living in LA, the rest where she grew up in South Carolina. The Boyfriend situation wasn't the best either. She's only ever had, one boyfriend. Sam. They dated for two and a half years before she ending things and for good reasons. She hasn't dated anyone since, mostly because of the fact she spends all of her time at home working.

Today she was going over to her friend James' house to hang out. They haven't seen each other in a couple of weeks, and they were planning on filming a video for their channels.

Andrea's pov:

to James;  Hey just left be there in 20!

from James; ok see you then sister!

I put my phone down and listened to the radio that my Uber driver had put on. It was Honest by Bazzi(a/n song is above if you want to listen to it). A song I love even though it brought back horrible memories from back home. Ignoring those memories I looked out the car window to the busy L.A. traffic. Everyone speeding to go somewhere. Back to work after taking too long of a lunch break. To the store to grab food for dinner tonight. Or even to class. I always thought it was weird how everyone had their own lives and their own roadblocks that you can never tell just by looking at them. Everyone has a story. One with ups and downs, and the grey areas in between.

When I arrived at James' house he greeted me with the usual hug and 'Hey sister!'. I greeted him back. We walked into the House, and into the beauty studio. I was welcomed by his camera crew and his assistant. I sat and waited for everything to get ready. James and I caught up on what we've missed in each others lives over that past few weeks. Mine being only a few sentences, but James talking about this new guy he met and has been talking to for a week now.

"Hi sisters!"

James continued with his usual intro, and we got on with the video.

*halfway through filming*

*DING*

James checked his phone

"Hey is it ok if Ethan, Grayson, and Emma come over in a few hours, we'll probably be done filming by that time"

"Yeah I have to leave right when we are done anyway my parents are coming in from South Carolina and I have to pick them up from the airport"

"That'll be so fun! You haven't seen them in a year. Love that for you"

James was always one of those friends who would find a positive in every situation. You loved that about him. The positive energy he put out was rare. And I needed it, it was refreshing especially since this past year hasn't been the best for me and my mental health.

But, I can't believe The Dolan Twins are coming over. Not only the hottest guys ever but also the funniest. I've watched their videos since I was 15(she's 18 now)and I've been a huge fan ever since. I had a fan page I'll admit, but I was never creepy about it. I'm not as obsessed as I used to be now that I have my own life and a job to focus on, but I still watch their weekly videos. Being a fan I always imagined what it would be like to possibly meet them one day but I never thought it might actually happen. And now that it might I don't know how I'm going to handle myself.

*after filming*

I stayed at James' after we finished filming because we got done sooner than expected and I didn't have to pick my parents up for another half hour. We sat and talked and finished catching up. We talked and talked and time flew by and you looked at your phone and you saw the time.

"ahhh I have to go my parents plane is going to land soon."

"Ok," he said frowning. "But we have to hang out before the Teen Choice Awards"

"Yes! text me and I'll clear my schedule"

*Ding Dong*

"Looks like the twins and Emma are here," James says.

Perfect timing right when I'm about to leave I thought sarcastically. They walked in and WOW. They are soooo fine! I stared at them for what seemed like forever. I then quickly look to the ground once I noticed what I was doing. They were small talking with James, Ethan's arm around Emma's waist. I guess the Etham rumors were true.

"Hey James I'm going to go I don't want to be late picking up my parents"

"I understand. Don't forget to text me!" he said coming in for a hug.

"I won't I promise" I gave him a hug back.

I leave passing Ethan and Grayson and flashing them a friendly smile. I noticed Grayson continuing to glance at me while I was standing listening to the four of them talk. However, it was probably because he didn't recognize me as one of the many people coming in and out of James' house. As I'm walking out to my uber I sigh and think. If only. Then I giggled at the fact that I still am freaking out about having a 2-minute interaction with The Dolan twins and there was no conversation between us.

Grayson's pov:

As Ethan, Emma and I walked into James' house I saw someone I've never met before. I've only ever seen her online and wow, pictures don't do her justice. She's so beautiful, probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I kept looking at her but the whole time Ethan and Emma were talking to James. When she finally spoke and lifted her head, she spoke so softly and gave the kindest eyes. And ughh that smile. That smile was something else. Here I was fawning over a girl I haven't even had a conversation with.

"Was that Andrea Willows?"

"Yeah, she's a beauty influencer on youtube. Do you know her?"

"No, but I wouldn't mind trying to."

"Does someone have a little crush?" Ethan asks in a mocking tone. Emma giggling at his remark.

"No. Just wondering," I said trying to ignore their jokes even though they knew I was clearly lying.

Besides, what Ethan said was a lie. I don't have a crush on her. I've never even talked to her before. But I also can't deny that I do think she's gorgeous. And that I wanted to see her again, and get to know her.

Andrea's pov:

Once I got home from the airport I looked at my phone and saw a text I got from James

from James; Hey you left your makeup here come by in the morning to pick it up?

to James; yeah I'll be over around 9.

from James; ok. and I think someone might think you're cute! ;)

to James; Who?

from James; idk, maybe Grayson.

to James; no way!

from James; yes way!

to James; well I'm tired so I'm gonna go to bed gn.

I wasn't tired. I just didn't know how to respond. I leaned back in my bed with a smile on my face. I couldn't believe that Grayson Dolan thinks I'm cute. It made me squeal like my 15-year-old self. I was unable to comprehend if this was real. Because if something were to happen, I don't know how I would react, especially after the last time I was in a relationship.
