Carter.

33.

"I'm in love with you Carter Mason."

He's in love with me??? Grayson is in love with me? My heart and head are spinning. My body is immediately hot and on high alert.

"I love you." I break my silence and look into his deep ocean blue eyes.

He doesn't skip a beat and immediately engulfs me in a hug. Slightly picking me up off the ground and spinning me around. I can't help but laugh as my body cools down.

"Yeah?" He seems surprised which confuses me. How could not know. He sets me back on my feet but leaves his arms wrapped around me.

"Yeah." He kisses me hard and all the feelings we were just talking about are spoken through this kiss.

"Say it again." He smiles against my lips.

"I love you. I love you. I love you."

"I love you more."

"Oh don't even start that game Gray." I laugh and throw my head back. I'm happy. Like actually happy.

He just laughs and continues to kiss my neck.

"We should really go to bed babe."

"Probably." I can't help but laugh. This is longest night of my life.

"The boys will be here later this afternoon and we have some plans."

"Then we should definitely go to bed baby." And yet neither of us make a move to go back inside. We're still wrapped up in each other.

"Carter."

"Grayson."

"You promise you'll tell me?"

"Yes. Just not right now."

"When?"

"The next time we're alone and not sleep deprived."

"Deal."

And with that confirmation he unwraps his arms from me and leads me inside.

"I just going to brush my teeth and then I'll come lay down." I say as he plops onto the bed.

"Good! You definitely need to." He laughs at his own bad joke before rolling onto his back. I take the moment to chuck a pillow at his face.

"Hey!" I flip him off and walk into the bathroom.

Wow. Wow oh wow. Who knew this is how this day would end or start? It is morning.... I start to put some toothpaste on my tooth brush and notice my hands shaking just a little. I sure hope he wasn't lying.

Like he wouldn't just be messing with me. Grayson would never. He loves me. Wow. And I love him. What a life, man.

I finish brushing my teeth and walk back into the bed room. I just need to hear him say it once more.

"Gray?"

No response. That boy already feel asleep. It's okay. We have a life time to say I love you. I turn off the light and curl up next to him.

He always reacts to me even in his sleep. He wraps us together and my eyes feel so heavy.

"I love you." I whisper to his sleeping body before I pass the fuck out.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"What is that?" I sleepily mumble into Grayson.
