Pursuit of Happiness-Grayson Dolan☀️🌴

April

Day Two of Coachella 2018, Ari and I have arrived at the festival grounds to get the day started, feeling even more upbeat than we did yesterday. I look around to see if I can spot Grayson and Ethan, Grayson texted me earlier this morning saying to come meet him as soon as I could so we could hang out more for the day.

"I can't find the boys anywhere" Ari says, looking for them through her expensive sunglasses.

"Didn't Ethan text you?" I ask, my eyes still trying to pick out the twins among this crowd of social media teens.

"Just that he was looking forward to hang out today" Ari answers and then smiles to herself "you know I think he likes me".

"Do you think he knows you like him too?" I ask her playfully and she pokes her tongue out at me in response. I just smile at her and wrap my arms around her shoulders, feeling happy that I'm just here having fun with her.

"C'mon, lets go find our men" Ari then says and takes my hand to lead me.

"'Our men'?" I ask her.

"Yes, don't think I know you're drooling over Grayson" Ari takes her turn to tease me about my own little Dolan crush. I roll my eyes and laugh it off as we start to walk to find the twins.

"They've got to be here somewhere" Ari huffs after a few minutes of searching for Grayson and Ethan. The service here is awful so its not like I can text Grayson asking where he is.

I'm about to suggest looking too hard for them when my eyes finally spot them far off from the crowds and my mouth drops open when I take in their appearance.

The twins are now with James Charles, a good friend of theirs from YouTube, looking drop dead gorgeous in crop tops styled with ripped jeans and Gucci masks. They staging a walk for a quick video, must be for James and they're fully immersed in it. Especially Grayson.

I watch in complete awe as I see a whole new side to him I never saw yesterday, that sweet and pure boy I met yesterday who made my heart flutter has been replaced by an intimidating and powerful man. Grayson takes long strides across the grass next to James and his brother, his hips moving in a consistent rhythm and the upper part of his face which isn't concealed by the mask is fixated in a captivating stare that makes my heart stop.

He looks like a whole new person right now, it only makes me even more attracted to him than before, everything about this boy seems to be pulling me closer to him.

Its like everyone else at this festival has disappeared into a blur and all I can see is Grayson.

What's happening to me?

I eventually snap out of my daze when the boys finish their walks, I blink and watch the twins as they pull down their masks and high five each other with huge grins on their faces.

"They really are something else aren't they?" Ari asks me, her eyes glued to Ethan.

I can just sigh in response, I see Ethan's eyes lift to meet Ari and I and a smile creeps onto his face, mostly at Ari. He then whispers something to Grayson with cocked brows, Grayson turns his head and looks straight at me. I feel my chest bubble with nerves as a huge smile spreads onto his face, I don't even have to think about smiling back.

"Brace yourself" Ari whispers when the twins run up to us after saying goodbye to James.

I take a deep breath and try to calm my pounding heart before Grayson gets to us, "there you girls are!" Grayson grins and I'm surprised when he pulls me in for a hug, those muscular arms wrapping around my body. I wrap my much smaller arms around his broad shoulders and squeeze, loving the feel of his warm skin against mine.
