Emma's POV -

I walked into the kitchen to see Grayson stood at the counter, drinking a cup of coffee.
"Want some?" He asked.
"Do I really need to answer that?" I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

He turned around and poured a small cup of black coffee into a mug. He passed it to me.
"Hate to be a pain, but can I have it iced?" I teased.
He playfully rolled his eyes and walked over to the fridge to pour out almond milk and cold brew into a glass for me.
"Here." He said handing it to me, I giggled. Taking it from him and drinking it.
"Why didn't you wake E up?" I asked him.

"I thought maybe we could go out us two?"
"You should have said, I woke him up." I looked at gray who's face was shot with disapproval.

"It's fine. We can hang out later. I just wanna spend more time with you." He smiled, but deep down I knew I had hurt him a little.
"I'm sorry." I said looking down at my twirling thumbs.
"You've got nothing to be sorry for." He said. "I should have told you. Plus it'll be nice with Ethan. Just means I'll be a third wheel." He chuckled, but it wasn't genuine.
"Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" He looked at me and questioned.

"Hey we going or what?" Ethan said jogging into the kitchen, running his hands through his messy bed hair.
I looked up at the man before me. His chiselled jaw line made me weak.
His large arms that literally engulfed me whenever he hugged me.
His perfect plump lips that fit perfectly against mine.
Oh and his fucking eyes. They kill me I swear.

He noticed me staring at I noticed him smile slightly to himself, which made me blush.
"Yeah let's go." Gray said grabbing his keys off the side and heading towards the door.
I got up from where I was sat and followed him outside, to his car.
I raced Ethan to the front seat and beat him. I knew he let me win though.

"Can I have the aux?" I asked Grayson as we hopped into his Porsche.
He nodded handing me the wire, and I plugged it into my phone.

As Grayson began driving off towards the local cafe I searched through my summer playlist. Until I found the perfect song. I clicked on it, and saw Ethan and Grayson's face lit up. "This song reminds me of you two from when we were younger and you played it on repeat." I said as Bryson tellers Don't played through the car speakers.
"Oh god, I haven't heard this song in forever." Grayson laughed.
"Jesus Christ this was my jam." Ethan laughed too.

We all sung along until we reached the cafe. Possibly my favourite spot ever. It was a small blue cafe in the middle of town, not a lot of people went there which was nice because it was always quiet. It had cute old fashioned metal table and chairs outside that remind me of the queens garden in Britain for some reason. And there was beautiful cursive hand writing on the chalkboard sign outside the window, that told you what the weeks specials were. It was so authentic and I loved it.

As we got out the car and walked inside. I felt Ethan's hand brush against mine. I looked up and him and he pulled his hand away embarrassed. I knew I would have to talk to him about the night before.

We sat down at a cute booth in the corner. I squeezed into the seat and the boys sat either side of me.
"This is just like old times." I smiled, picking up the menu.
"Yeah we used to come here every Saturday." Grayson grinned back.
Ethan raised his eyebrows and nodded, hardly engaging in the conversation.
"What you getting?" I asked him, peering over and the page his menu was on.
"Avo toast with bacon." He blunty said. I sat back down in my seat. Not even trying to reply to that.
"What about you Em?" Grayson asked.
"I don't know if I'm hungry." I said twiddling my thumbs. Feeling bad for what happened last night.

"Of course you are. I'll order for you." He rested his hand over mine. I looked up at his smiley face. The corners of my mouth raised slightly. His happiness was so infectious.
I sat up. Positive to stay positive.
"Hey e, when we get back, Shall we have a chat?" I asked confidently.
His eyes shot up at me. Looking deep into my eyes. The connection made my tummy turn.
"A-About what?" He panicked. His face turned bright red. His eyes wide open.

"Just some stuff." I answered. "Please?"
"Sure." He said. Trying to act unbothered as he looked back down at his menu.

And then we were interrupted.

"Hi can I get you guys started with some tea or coffee?"
