In Love With My Best Friend

Wednesday

I woke up the next morning with an empty spot next to me. I sighed out of frustration, remembering the events that took place last night. Why was he acting like that towards me? Was it because of everything we've been doing? He's the one that made the decision to be intimate with me. I needed to talk to him before the four of us go out tonight. I finally got up, slowly walking to the bathroom, beginning and soon ending my morning routine.

"Good morning Gray." I said, spotting him in the kitchen.

He didn't reply. I rolled my eyes and went back upstairs to find Lily. I walked into Lily and E's bedroom, seeing them naked and sleeping under the covers. I literally never hear them, how the fuck are they so quiet?

"Lily, wake up. I need you!" I exclaimed, throwing a pillow at her that had been on the floor.

"Lorena stop, just give me like 10 more minutes with E." She replied, groggily.

"Oh please, Ethan had you all night and clearly you guys had a lot of fun." I replied, crossing my arms.

She groaned, slowly getting up with only a shirt on, dragging me out the room with her.

"Bathroom meeting?" I asked, cheesing.

She giggled, and nodded. "What's wrong?"

"Grayson's been acting weird since last night. He won't talk to me."

"Did you do something?" she asked.

I shook my head no. Maybe I should tell her what Gray and I have been doing. I've been hiding it from her for too long and I needed her.

"Lily, please don't be mad but-" she cut me off.

"I already know about you and Gray. He told me yesterday. I kinda wish it was you who told me but it's fine."

"I'm sorry Lily. I just-" she cut me off again.

"Lor, it's fine. Just be careful okay? I don't want you getting hurt. You need to go and talk to him before we go out tonight."

I nodded and left the bathroom, so she could have some privacy.

It was now 5 in the afternoon and all we've been doing is sitting around waiting for 9pm to arrive so we could all begin getting ready. Gray still hasn't talked to me. He was upstairs the whole time. I took this as my opportunity to confront Grayson.

I walked in and saw him on his phone in bed. He looked up and looked back down when he noticed it was me. I sighed.

"What the hell is your problem? What'd I do?" I asked getting annoyed.

He ignored me.

"Okay Grayson. Whatever. I'll sleep in the guest room starting tonight." I said, stubbornly. I walked out of the room. I was mad to say the least.

"Lorena." I heard Ethan say.

"Mhmm." I responded.

"You look mad, you okay?"

"Yep. Just impatient." I said smiling.

"Lily told me what happened. You and Gray? I saw it coming honestly." He said, confidently.

"Gray and I aren't a thing. It was just for fun. Apparently, his fun is done. I'm gonna go and read a book now. To calm me down a bit." I responded annoyed.

He nodded wearily and headed to his bedroom, I'm guessing to see Lily.
