TWENTY FOUR / BBF

I feel a presence behind me and soon a wisper in my ear;
"What about we just skip these rides and you ride my instead?"

•••

My eyes widen and for a moment everything seems to stand still. Every sound around me seems to go to compleet silence. Shook, is the word that explains my face expression.
I can't believe what I just heard.
And the thought that he has a girlfriend makes me sick. But just because it's him it doesn't really bothers me.

"Found a ride?" Alex breaks my thoughts as he walks in front of us.
I fastly look around with one ride catching my eyes.
"That one." I point at the biggest rollercoaster. It has loopings and a lot of sharp turns.
"Thát one?" Alex says as his eyes go wide.
I nod and he eventually shrugs his shoulders.
"Would've hoped you'd choose to ride me." Grayson wispers in my ear.

"Shut up, you have a girlfriend." I hiss.
After that he stays silent. It's like he had finally realized he can't just flirt around while having a girlfriend.
"We had another argument." He sighs.
I slowly breath out the air I was, apperently, holding in.

We soon are standing in the waiting line of the rollercoaster.
As it's our turn an older man guides us to our seats. Alex is being seated next to a younger girl and I have to sit next to Grayson, ofcourse.
Distracting myself I look in front of me to being meet by the sight of Alex and the little girl giggling and talking. I find myself smile and probably look weird to other people.

"What are you smiling about?" Grayson asks, bringing me out of my own little world. I blink a few times and turn my head around, slowly meeting Grayson's soft green eyes.
Without using words, I point towards Alex and the little girl in front of me and Grayson's confused expression changes into an amused faces. A smile creeps on his face, making me smile even more.
"Take a picture." Grayson speaks out of nowhere.
"Wh-huh?" I frown.
"I'm serious, take a picture." Grayson giggles and takes out his phone. I blush slightly and take his phone, still knowing his password and open his camera.
I point the camera at Grayson and he takes in his pose, leaning against the side of the card with his right arm next to him leaning in the edge. He smiles at the camera and I take the picture. I look at it for a while, taking in all the beauty on that picture. His smile that shows off his perfect white teeth and the lights of the ferris wheel and other rides in the background. It's the defenition of perfect.
"Enough staring at my picture, let me see." Grayson smirks as he grabs his phone out of my hands.
"I'm gonna post this on instagram." He smiles.
"I'll give you credit." He winks. I blush and feel my phone buzz from the notification.
Finally the ride starts. I sit back and because of the many loopings and turns, I lean on Grayson.

After a while the ride has come to an end and I'm full on Grayson. I look up akwardly at the same time as he looks down. We both blush and I sit back.

•••

"So tell me about that girl from the rollercoaster." I smirk and nudge Alex' arm.
"That's Alice, she's 11." He laughs.
"You two were really hitting it off." I laugh and so does Grayson. Alex rolls his eyes and laughs with us eventually.
"What about you two? Huh." Alex swayes his hip against mine so I fall against Grayson.
We both remain silent and eventually my eyes trail off to the same thing what Alex sees.
"We're going on the ferris wheel." Alex states and takes both Grayson and mine hand.

We wait in line and as it's our turn, Alex pushes Grayson and I in the cart. I look back at Alex smirking as the cart is being closed. I glare at him and sit down, opposite from Grayson.

"Typical Alex, am I right?" I sigh.
"Yup." Grayson responds calmy.
The wheel moves and I relax in my seat.
"You talked about an argument? With Kate?" I ask receiving a huge sigh from Grayson.

"She keeps pressuring me in having sex. We did it once," I gulp and he continues. "but it wasn't magical at all, like it used to feel to me. It was just, over and done. It wasn't 'making love', it was just a quick fuck. And everytime she tells me she loves me, it's like she only says it so I want to have sex with her again. Our whole relationship is turning on her wanting to have sex with me. I bet she doesn't even love me like she says she does." Grayson explains.
"Didn't you feel sparks when you two, you know?" I ask softly.
"No, not like I felt it when we- I mean no, I didn't feel any sparks." He sighs.

"I'm sorry." I place my hand on his knee. His head shoots up and our eyes meet.

"Sofia, I.. I still lo-"
"Okay guys, next one in line!"
