*GRAYSON'S POV*
My feeling for Sarah haven't always been here, they began a little after she started dating Shawn.
Best luck ever, am I right?
I get it, he's attractive, but he's a jerk. I don't get how she can't see this isn't the right person for her, and how someone who does love her twice as much has been standing in front of her this whole time.
I'd take care of Sarah, nobody would ever hurt her if she was with me, no pain, no bad times, just smiles.
And if there was any pain, I'd make sure to heal all wounds, Shawn would not.
I love her.
And that's why I've always kept my distance, he doesn't deserve somebody like her, she's perfect, she shouldn't be with such a dick.
I can wait though, as long as it takes her to open her eyes.
SARAH'S POV
Gray seems kinda off today, he's been pretty quiet and serious, I think something might be bothering him, I better ask.
"hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm totally fine, why are you asking?" He looks at me nervous and confused, there's totally something going on.
"Just thought there was something on your mind" he smiled at me and stayed quiet for a bit.
"So what movie are we watching?" I see Grayson turn to me with a slight smirk.
"We're not going to the movies"
"What do you mean, where are we going then?" I'm very confused.
"Somewhere else, just trust me, I took my time with this"
We continue the car ride listening to some music, I definitely have no idea where the hell he's heading to, it looks like... a forest?
"Gray... what are we doing here?"
"Just wait, we're almost there"
There's big, green trees of all sizes everywhere, I can also hear birds humming their songs.
"We're here" he says. I try ti open the car door but he immediately locks it, I turn to him confused.
"Not yet, close your eyes and stay here until I come get you, okay?" I nod and do as he says.
I wonder what this could be, maybe we're gonna go hunt some deers or something? Oh god that would be awfully sad.
I can hear him moving some stuff around in the back of the car, I also hear his footsteps coming back and forth, what is this man doing?
After around 8 to 10 minutes, I hear my door open.
"You can open your eyes, let's go."
He grabs my hand and takes me deeper into the forest, there's nobody else around here but the birds and us, it's so peaceful.
As we got deeper into the forest, I begin to notice a light, this is exciting.
"Are you ready? This is it" he says before we get through one last bush. "I'm ready" I smile.
Oh. My god.
I look up to see a huge green area with flowers of all kinds and colors, a beautiful river and a picnic in the center of it all, this is gorgeous.
"Gray.. I don't know what to say, this is... I can't even explain how much I love this, thank you so much" I hugged him tightly with a huge smile on my face, nobody has ever done something like this for me.
"You're welcome Sarah, let's make the best out of today"
We walk over to the picnic and sit next to each other on the blanket, he brought chips, juices, fruit, ice cream and burgers, lovely menu if I do say so myself.
"What do you think about this spot? As soon as I saw it I knew you'd love it, it's just... so you"
"And how am I Grayson?" I chuckle.
"You're... amazing, breathtaking. Full of natural beauty.. you give me peace and you never fail to impress me every time I see you" he blushes.
What is happening?
"You're so sweet, thank you"
We talked, we laughed, we ran around with our shoes off, we ate, we lived the moment.
Not once did I check my phone, nor did I want to, I was there and so was he, it was magical.
We watched the sky as the sun went down, listening to the sound of the river and the soft air.
"I'm a bit cold, should've brought a damn jacket" he rolls his eyes and laughs.
He immediately takes his jacket off and gives it to me, with the softest, sweetest smile I've ever seen.
I can't wrap my head around what I'm feeling.
I rest my head on his lap as we continue to watch the sunset, not a single word came out of our mouths.
We didn't need any words though.
I didn't want that day to be over, I wanted to stay there forever.
Nobody has ever made me feel this loved and cared for, not even my own boyfriend.
But.. Grayson is my best friend, I just see him as that, right?
I look up to see his face.
He's completely lost looking at the beauty of the sky, with his arm under his head.
I just stare. I'm so confused right now.
"What's on your mind?" He asks.
"Just looking at the sky" I say nervously.
"I'm glad you're enjoying this, I hope you now understand how things should be.... and how they can be"
Does this mean what I think it does?
Yes you read it right, a new chapter!! Oh god I felt so freaking passionate writing this I loved it.
Tell me your thoughts about this and who's your ship please, I honestly think I'm on graysons team but like idkkk we'll see.
Love you all so much 🤍
