The undying secret love

Chapter 2

(Noah's POV)

When we pulled in I noticed Grayson sitting on his staircase waiting with no one else around and no one parked in his driveway. Made me wonder if his parents were around.

Once I got out of my car I turned around and walked toward Grayson. He had his eyes trained on my abs which were surly on display with the hot sun beaming down on us. He unfortunately had his shirt on now and a pair of shorts, unlike in his post.

"Hey Grayson! Thanks for inviting me!" I said while trying to catch his eyes.

"No problem, pools around back, let's go" He very slowly lifted his gaze from my stomach to my eyes then stood up to go walk away. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.

He turned around and walked around his house on the full wrap around porch made of wood. The house looked amazing, but I didn't have time to gawk at it as we turn the final corner to his pool and what a sight it was. The boardwalk was surrounding the above ground pool, which was a massive rectangle. I whistled at the sight. Grayson just turns around at me before smirking.

He slowly takes off his shirt, then was about to move onto his shorts when he looked me in the eyes. I held his gaze as he pulled them down, I felt a blush spread across my face so I decided to look at the tree line by his house. With my eyes turned I didn't see him start running until I heard a big splash and felt water land on me.

"So that's how it's going to be huh?" I asked him after he cleared the water out of his eyes. He held my gaze and on smirks, so I take off running at him and canon ball right next time him causing him to float away a bit.

I stayed underwater, crossed my legs underneath me and just sat at the bottom of the pool. I saw Grayson dive down, he started gracefully swimming towards me with a big smile. I smiled up at him and pushed myself up into him, my fingers grazing his sides and our bodies softly colliding. I felt sparks erupt from the touch. I turned around quickly, catching Grayson staring at me with wonder.

I took my eyes off of him and swam up, finally surfacing and taking a big breath. I pulled myself up on the ledge and watch as he swam closer to me. Once he got to my side he pulled himself up. We just sat there in awkward silence, waiting for one another to speak.

"What was that?" I asked him while staring at his now soaked underwear.

"I've got no idea. You felt that too then?" He looked at me a bit hopelessly.

"Yeah, I did." I took my eyes off of him and stared at the water where we once were, wishing to feel that again.

"I'm not gay!" He blurted out all of a sudden, leaving me flabbergasted by his sudden outburst.

"I don't care if you are or aren't. I don't know what that was, but I feel like it'll happen again whether we like it or not." I replied seriously but kindly, then took a chance to look at his eyes. His eyes were sparkling, the water bringing them out more than usual.

"I think you should leave" He left with without another word after that, closing and locking the door behind him.

I felt so frustrated, I had no idea what to do. I figured that with him leaving to his house I better leave the property before he calls the cops or something, so I decided I best leave.

I sat on his front porch just thinking. I couldn't drive in my state. I couldn't get him off of my mind with what just happened.

I heard the door open and close. Grayson, still only in his underwear, walks up beside me.

"I'm sorry. Have a goodnight." He turns around and walks away but before he could I grabbed his arm, feeling the same energy and sparks flooding my body.

I dropped it a second later, wanting to say something without anything actually coming out. I felt frozen, stuck to my spot. He just turns and walks away from me. Leaving me alone with my thoughts.

After the trip home again, I showered and decided to go back and look at Graysons posts again. Once I got to his account, I find out he's blocked me. My heart feels shattered as I cry myself to sleep.

(The next day)

When I woke up I decided to text my friend and let her know what was going on. She was always willing to help me. Me and Taylor have been close friends for awhile and trust each other with everything. We started talking about the possibility of Grayson being gay. We were hoping that maybe Grayson would be. Grayson has even chosen her as a best friend too. After stalling for awhile I got ready for school and went down to the bus stop to be picked up.

When I got to school I saw Taylor and Grayson walking into the building. I hung back watching him still wondering why I was suddenly attracted to him. Grayson has a strong build, tall, lean, smart, dirty blond hair that is slicked to the side or back, blue eyes and extremely nice. Me and him don't talk at all unfortunately. Going on throughout the day, I've noticed that me and Brayden have 3rd to 7th hour together. This year is going to be hard with him in so many of my classes I thought to myself. We caught each other staring multiple times. I was starting to find it funny that we did that but we don't have a good reason to talk.

The last hour of the day was when the weirdest thing happened. On our way out of the room me and Grayson accidentally touched hands. When we touched hands, it made us both jump into our friends. We shocked each other but it didn't hurt, it opened something new. For a few seconds we stared into each others eyes trying to figure out what was happening. I was hearing something new and feeling a stronger attraction to Grayson. After awhile we were dragged away from each other and to the buses. I didn't text or talk to any of my friends that night, only the new voice in my head.
