Grayson's POV
I was woken up by the bright sun shinning on my face. Then I felt a head on my chest, suddenly my eyed opened as I realized we both fell asleep on this rock and forgot to back. "Ivy!!" I say out of shock. "Yea" She says in an annoyed sleepy voice, I chuckled, "we have to go!!" I say. She quickly gets up and realized where we were!

"Oh my god" she says. "What time is it?" She asks when she stands up. "I don't know but it's not night time anymore!" I say. "I can see that" she laughs. "Oh no.. Nate" her smile drops. "What if it's late, what if he left already" she begins to worry.

"Relax, come on let's go, he would never leave before saying goodbye!" I say. She begins walking up and I look around then see her dress. I grab it and head up.

She walks through the woods to her car.She grabs her phone out of the car. "Thank god" she says, "it's only 7 a.m, he doesn't leave until 3" she sighs in relief.

"See I told you!" I smile and she smiles back. We both get in the car, "Wait what are we going to say?"She asks. "About?" I ask, "I mean we weren't their all night, someone going to wonder" she says. Then I realized, Nate's going to kill me, if he ever found out that I kissed his sister let alone spent the night god knows where with her, he will only assume the worst. "Nate's going to kill me!" I groan.

"You know, I won't miss him, just drop me off at home" I say sarcastically and also out of fear. "Are you scared to admit to him that you kissed his little sister!?!" She chuckles, "no! no! I'm not scared!" I cross my arms and try to prove her wrongs even if she's right. "Okay!" She chuckles and drives.

"Where we going?" I ask as I realize she wasn't driving towards her house. "Well if they ask where we were, we will just say, we went and got some food" she shrugs and looks at me. "Hmm, that sounds pretty good!" I reply. "Yeah I'm kind of a genius" she says as she parks the car. I get out of the car and walk beside her.

"Muffins and waffles, that should be good, right?" She looks at me as she grabs both of them. "Yea" I shrug. "So, um about yesterday.." She begins on saying. My heart begins beating so fast. "Yea?" I say. "Did you like the place?" She asks. I honestly thought she was going to talk about the kids. "I loved it" I smiled at her while we stood at the cashier. "Good" she smiles back

"That would be 14.95, did you want a bag" the guy at the cashier asks, he was looking at her weirdly, he looked about our age, blonde, tan, green eyes, handsome yet stared at Ivy as if he knew her. "No thanks and keep the change" Ivy says, "okay thank you, have a good day" he says and smiles. "You too" Ivy says as she picks up the things. We begin walking away as the same guy approaches us.

"Wait" he says, Ivy turns around and looks at him. "Are you guys dating?" He asks, "no, why?" Ivy replies. "Okay good, so you wouldn't mind if I asked you out?" He says. "I don't know, would you mind Grayson?" She asks and smiles at me as if she knew my answer. "No" but what I really meant was Yes, yes I would fucking mind!

"Really?" Her smile drops. "I was actually asking you, Ivy, if you would mind?" He chuckles, "he doesn't mind, so I guess I don't either" she says and gives him a smile. "What's your name?" Ivy chuckles as she gives him her phone number. "Taylor" he replies back, "nice to meet you, I'm Ivy!" She says and smiles, "Yeah I know" he chuckles. "Yeah, we'll see you around" she says, "bye" he says back.

My heart felt like it was about to shatter. That look she gave me when I said no, it was like she was expecting me to say otherwise. "Nice guy" she chuckles as she hops into her car, "yea" I fake chuckle back. "So you actually going to date this guy?" I ask, "I don't know what's it to you?" She replies back rudely. Did I hurt her feelings? I felt bad but I just don't know if she feels the same way back, that girl is harder to understand than the Spanish books they make us read in school. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it like that" she replies, "it's okay, you're probably just upset about Nate leaving" I say when I know it's not why she's upset.

"Yeah that's what it is" she replies back as she makes the turn to her house. "Cheer up you will see him in two weeks for our game" I say, "yeah" she gives me a fake smile and gets out.

"Where the fuck were you?" Nate opens the door as soon he sees us hop out the car. "Muffins!!" Cindy says and grabs them. "Oh thank god, better food than what this shitty ass whipped up!" Jacob says as he grabs the waffles. "You expect me to believe you two went out early to get us food" Nate says, oh no please don't tell him Ivy. "Yup, nothing happened, nothing important at least" I think that was more towards me than Nate.

"What's with her?" Nate asks confused. "Trust me, I'm confused as well!" I shrug, "probably going to miss her strong, handsome older brother!" Nate says and smirks, "aren't we all" I smirk back. "Don't look at me like that" he says creeped out. "Well why not? I'm in love with you Nate Dickens!!" I say and kiss his cheek then run. "Ughhh, that's nasty" he yells. "What's nasty?" Cindy asks as she was eating her muffin, "I kissed him" Grayson says. "On the cheek" I add on as I saw how everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me. "Well you can have him" Cindy chuckles.

"Oh I will" I say as I look at Nate then smirk. "You're freaking me out! Ethan get your ducking younger brother to behave" Nate says, "I have been trying to do that for the past 16 years!" Ethan replies and everyone laughs. "Oh Haha" I jokingly say and then playfully roll my eyes.

"Hey wheres Ivy?" Nate asks, "I don't know" everyone says as they looks around. "Might be upstairs, I'll be back" Nate says as he runs up the stairs.

I couldn't help but wonder why she was so mad at me, does she feel the same way. Maybe she is truly upset about her brothers departure.
