THIRTY FIVE / BBF

*wednesday, 3:51pm*

Sofia' pov

I walk down the stairs, still wearing my pj shorts and a thank top, carrying Jake's moving boxes from his room to the living room downstairs.
The party he gave on Saturday has ended pretty well even tho I don't remember much of it.
As I enter the living room, Ethan, Alex and Cameron are already carrying the boxes from the living room to the moving truck outside.
I place the box on the ground and walk to the kitchen to see Grayson drinking some oj.
Grayson hasn't talked to me a lot.
And when I asked him about what happened at the party and why I woke up next to him, his answer was just a simple 'You didn't wanna be alone'. So I let it slide for once. But I just don't get why he has to act like this around me and why he makes everything so akward.

"Hey." I smile as I open the fridge and grab the chocolate milk. I fill a glass with it and look over at Grayson, waiting for his responze.

"Oh hey." He mumbles and takes a quick glance at me before finishing his glass. He places it on the counter and opens the fridge, where I'm standing at, and grabs a package with frozen pizza.
I sigh at his reaction and place my glass on the counter aswell.
"Want some slices when it's done?" He mumbles, motioning at the pizza.

"Yeah sure." I smile, hoping the akwardness will go away very soon.
Grayson just nods and places the pizza in the oven.
I grab two plates and place them next to the oven so when it's done he can divide the slices over the plates.

I grab my phone from boredom and scroll through instagram, seeing a lot of photo's from people at the party from last weekend.
I like some but one of them catches my eye. It's from, Dana I think, from Logan's old grade. It's a picture of her and her boyfriend but on the background I can see a blonde girl in a white dress taking shots.

Me.

My eyebrows raise as I suddenly partly understand why Grayson didn't wanna talk about the party and what happened. Maybe we did something?
No.
I shrug it off as I hear the sound of the oven.

Grayson serves us our plates and together we sit at the diner table. Grayson sits down opposite me and I swing my legs from back to forth while eating until I feel Grayson's, apperantly also swinging, legs touching mine.
I immediately stop and we take a quick glance at eachother before muttering a 'sorry'.

"So I saw this picture on instagram, it was from the party last weekend and I was on the background taking shots.." I trail off.

"Oh." Is all Grayson says.
"Why can't you just look at me?" I ask frustrated as my voice slightly breaks.
"It's nothin'." Grayson sighs.

"Well it has to be cause you won't look me in the eyes." I say with a sad voice.

His head shots up and his eyes meet mine, getting the message it's really upsetting me.
"We haven't done anything.., right?" I ask unsure.

Grayson shakes his head, "no." He mumbles.
"Than what did happen Grayson?" I sigh.

"I took you upstairs after you took all those shots and I wanted to put you to sleep, but you wanted to shower first but you couldn't walk properly so you asked if I could help you. I didn't wanna interrupt your privecy but you insisted.." Grayson sighs being relieved he letted it out.

"But what's wrong with that?" I ask making him meet my eyes again.

"I saw you naked Sofia. I stripped you down and dressed you up." Grayson says, biting his bottom lip, waiting for an answer.

"Oh, but you've seen me naked before, why is it a problem now?" I ask, knowing for sure that something else has happened.

"When I see you naked I..-"

"I know it's something else Grayson." I sigh.
I see the frustration in his eyes as he looks up at me again. His eyes begin to twinkle and I can't make out if it's either cause he's sad or because he's happy.
He looks down at his hands and sighs before looking up once again.

"You told me you loved me."
