Addicted To You - Completed

Chapter 9

~NEXT FRIDAY~

The whole week at school was pretty boring. You and Grayson kept up your act, but your feelings weren't fake anymore. Maddie had tried to approach him a couple times, but he always turned her down, and as for Tyler, he was finally leaving you alone. Gray dropped you home and went back to his to get ready for the party; he'd pick you up again at 7:30.

Your parents were out for work today, so you went up to your room, threw your bag by the door and turned on your speakers. You scrolled through your playlist before finally picking a song and cranking up the volume. You went into your bathroom to turn on the shower, and while the water warmed up, you went to pick an outfit. You looked through your clothes for about 5 minutes but couldn't find anything, so you decided that you'd look again afterwards. You went into the bathroom once again, slipped off what you were wearing, and jumped into the shower. You spent about 25 minutes in there as you were washing your hair and shaving your legs. Once you were completely done, you got out and wrapped a towel around your body, before heading back into your room. You walked back over to your wardrobe and started looking through again. After about 10 minutes of rummaging around, you finally found something; it was a baby pink, velvet two-piece that hugged your curves perfectly. You grabbed your phone from your bag and checked the time – it was only 4:30. You laid out your outfit on your bed and went downstairs to grab a snack.

Although parties weren't really your thing, Gray was right. It was your last year of high school and you hadn't been to even one house party. You wanted to step out of your comfort zone tonight, and dress to impress. You'd party like never before, and who knows, you may admit to Gray that you're in love with him, if you get drunk enough that is. You prepared some eggs on toast with avocado, before walking over to the couch to catch up on your favourite series. After two episodes, it was already 6:00, so you went to put your plate in the dishwasher and head back upstairs. You dried your hair, curled it slightly and did your makeup; you decided to do a pink smokey eye that matched your outfit, and you applied a nude lipstick so that the attention was on your eyes. Once you had finished, you put on your two-piece and grabbed a pair of nude heels. By the time you were fully dressed, your makeup was done and so was your hair, it was 7:30. You heard the doorbell ring, so you quickly grabbed a jacket and your phone, before heading downstairs. As you opened the front door, you stuffed your keys in your pocket and were greeted by Grayson. He looked you up and down with widened eyes and a smirk on his face.

Gray: "Damn Y/N, you look stunning."

Y/N: "Awh thanks Gray, you don't look too bad yourself," you said as you felt your cheeks warm up. He was wearing a black sweater, blue ripped jeans and some white sneakers. You followed him over to his jeep and jumped into the passenger seat, but didn't realise that Ethan was in the back. He noticed that you didn't see him, and decided to take advantage of that. As Grayson got into the driver's seat, he jumped forwards slightly, grabbing your shoulders and making you scream.

Ethan: "Hey Y/N!"

Y/N: "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ETHAN! You scared the living shit out of me," you exclaimed as you tried to calm yourself down.

Ethan: "Ha, gotcha!" He chuckled at you and settled into the back seat. Grayson laughed at you two before turning on the engine and driving to his mate's house; Nathan's house. You didn't really know Nathan, you only knew he was on the football team, he was friends with the boys and he was pretty good looking. Unlike many of the guys in your school, he was apparently a genuine person, and wasn't really interested in a physical relationship – he was more focused on his studies and sports.

Gray pulled up and managed to find a space to park that wasn't too far from his house. You all got out and the boys lead you to where he lived. Nathan had quite a big house, and it looked perfect for throwing parties. The gate leading into the garden was open, so you three decided to head through there. The place was already crowded, even though the party had started about 15 minutes ago, and as soon as you walked into the garden, you could feel all the guys looking at you. Some even decided to whistle at you, but they all stopped when Gray took your hand in his and pulled you closer to him. You loved that he was so protective over you, you always felt safe around him.
