Something on my chest tickles me stirring me awake, but when soft snores are heard I know its Grayson. His head lays on my bare chest while his legs tangle with mine. His breaths calm and even.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he sleepily says. Looking up at me he moves his hand under his chin so he doesn't dig into my chest.
Smiling I sweep his hair off his forehead. "I'm ok Grayson. I just needed you." He sighs moving back to the first position, he was in, his red hair tickling me once again. "There's something wrong you can tell me." Hugging me tighter I sigh.
"I guess I never really understood why she left. And even though she had a good reason. I can't help but feel a little conflicted but I'm glad to have her back. Maddox too in a way. There are some things that are unfinished there." He groans kissing the swell of my breast.
"Anyways I guess seeing her. Just brought back everything we went through together and I wished she had let me be there for her with Foster. I think I would've been the best aunt." I sigh playing with his hair twirling it with my fingers.
"You still can be. She gave you her new number and address right?"
"Yeah, she did." Pushing himself up he nips at my skin, making goose bumps form on my skin. "Again?" I ask smiling. Only nodding a yes while he smiles into my neck sucking ever so lightly.
"You're lavishing me Grayson. And I love it." Smirking at me I return it.
Let's just say I got enough exercise to skip my daily at home work out.
"I'll see you later ok? You sure you don't need the car?" Grayson asks halfway out the door.
"Yes, yes! Go already have a good day at work." I laugh trying to push him out into the hall. He laughs at me turning around to me and kissing me. Smiling against the kiss I can't help but love the feeling of his lips. Remembering the night we just shared sends shivers down my spine.
"Alright. Go!"
Grayson pecks my lips one more time before he jogs down the hall towards the elevator. "See you later babe. Don't wait up." He winks at me as the elevators doors close.
Sighing I lean on the door frame. Grayson. He makes me happy but there is just no spark like I wished there was. I know he wants more from me and being exclusive with him is as far as I can go.
He does make me feel some type of way but it's not enough.
When we decided to sleep together we promised that if one of us walked away from the other it wouldn't hurt our friendship in any way or form.
Touching my lips I can imagine his on mine still making me tingle in certain places. "Fucking Grayson." I chuckle going back inside my apartment.
Looking around I can't help but hate how I have today off. Groaning I make my way back to my bed flopping face first on it. My phone vibrating like crazy on my night stand. Rolling to the edge of my bed I catch myself before I fall off. Reaching my phone just in time to swipe answer.
"Hello Ivy Knight speaking."
"Damn talk about formal Knight." Maddox laughs through the phone. Triggering me to pull the phone from my ear to look at the screen making sure it's really him.
"Maddox?"
"Yeah weirdo who else would call you from my number?" He just chuckles again. "Anyways I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to hang this weekend with me? Jacob invited me to his kids birthday party."
Jacob?
"Wait as in Jacob Miller from High school?" I ask biting my lip waiting for his reply. "Yeah who else? Or I guess... uh never mind but yes. That Jacob."
"Yeah sure, uh hey can I ask you something?"
"I mean you kinda already did but go ahead." This time I'm the one giggling.
"So stupid, but how long have you been in touch with Jacob again? And I assume you know who his baby mamma is?" Once again biting at my lip this time peeling the dead parts off with my teeth.
"Uuuh about five years or so. And yeah Adrianna is Fosters mom. You should know." He says as if it's the most natural thing. Which I understand because he most likely doesn't know Adrianna never told me.
Physically sighing into the phone I sit on the edge of my bed. "No unfortunately I didn't know until yesterday."
"What!" The surprise in his deep voice is evident. "Adrianna never told you?" Sincerity now coats it replacing the surprise.
"Yeah she never told me. I actually didn't see her at all in the last seven years I've been away. I seen her yesterday at the hospital when I picked Grayson up from work. I didn't know how to act or what to say. So I just gave her my number and address and told her I'm there if she needs me."
I over vented I know I did, but just like before something in the way Maddox had asked with so much sincerity or how there was a hint of sadness in his words. Just made me feel as if I was safe. Safe to be vulnerable. Safe to say what I had and needed to say.
"Wow, I couldn't even begin to understand how you must feel Ivy. I'm sorry." With those words I break again crying on the phone to Maddox as he coos sweet things into the phone.
"I don't understand why it hurts so much," I cry softly, " Just I don't get it." I sigh calming myself down. Sucking up the mocos running down my nose. Hoping off my bed placing my phone down while I reach for a tissue blowing my nose.
"Fuck sorry Maddox. Or is it DDox?" sarcasm drips off my tongue trying to lighten the mood.
"Don't be sorry. I would hurt too if I knew my best friend kept something so important a secret for so long. Maddox is fine by the way. It sounds better when you say it anyways." He pauses as if he had said something offensive. Quickly he tries to move on from it.
"Let me know by Friday ok I'll swing by your place to pick you up if you decide to go." Hearing a high pitched voice on his end of the phone i try to make out what it says only to be rewarded with mumbles.
"Shit I got to go. Talk to you later Knight."
"Later Silver." He laughs then the line goes dead.
