You're My Sister Soulmate, Scratch the Sister.

Chapter 12

James' POV

I'm beyond irritated with myself and the person I've evidently become.

I find myself in the same predicament I was in not too long ago, minus the overbearing need to sleep.

My phone sits quietly in front of me as I stare at it with a vengeance. Just like the puppy I've compared myself to many times before, I wait patiently for a text that may not even come.

I haven't talked to nor have I seen Grayson since Sunday. It's Tuesday now and its only been an hour since I've posted our collab video.

'Which is getting a wide range of reactions'

I've definitely been postponing an explanation of our alleged 'date' and as far as I know Grayson's been avoiding the topic as well.

This video basically just added fuel to an untamed fire.

'More exposure to me'

All the attention our fake media relationship is getting didn't take away from the fact that we haven't talked since the almost kiss.

I almost kissed Grayson Dolan, actually no, Grayson Dolan almost kissed me. He was gonna kiss ME in that bathroom.

'Then he disappeared off the face of the Earth'

I squint my eyes accusingly at the device.
"Maybe I should take the initiative?"

The sound of my ringtone shocks me out of my inner turmoil. Out of pure excitement I pick up the phone, pressing the recieve button without checking the ID.

"Hey!—H-hi." Kill yourself James.

"Someone's excited to see me."

I barely refrain from throwing up the captain crunch I ate earlier this morning.

"If I could actually see you right now I'd probably throw up."

"Aww James you wound me." I roll my eyes so hard it hurts.

'Why haven't I blocked his ass yet? Why is he even calling me? He never calls me'

"I'm about to hang up Chris."

"James wait—"

"Bye Chris—"

"Are you and Grayson Dolan dating!?"

'Of fucking course that's why he would call me'

"I don't see how that would be any of your business." Sass 9000

"I'm guessing that's a no?"

"How do you get a 'no' from what I just said?" I find myself pouting without even realizing it.

'Is me dating someone else that far fetched'

"I mean come on, you haven't dated anyone since our break up."

"That doesn't mean anything." It's not my fault you left me emotionally scarred and scared for another relationship.

"I'm just saying James, it's obvious that things aren't, well, completely finished."

"Finished? As in us? Us not being completely finished?" The surprise in my voice can't be hidden, is this guy for real right now?
