The Gray Family: Let The Games Begin✔️(Wattpad version)

Dance with me

Payton

We returned to school and started the new semester. It was nice to get back because my brothers drove me nuts. Since I'm the oldest, I get to referee them. Thanks, Ma and Pops, for having more kids.

I took a break from my family and issues. I went to see Josie and knocked on her door. She opened it. I crashed my lips into hers. I moved her into her room and closed the door. I held her close as I continued to capture her lips with mine.

We broke from our kiss, and Josie looked at me.

"I'm guessing you need a break from your family?" Josie asked me.

"Oh, you have no idea," I groaned as I let her go and walked over to her bed, lying down. Josie walked over to her dresser and put on a song. She walked over to me and stood in front of me. I propped myself up. "What?" I asked curiously.

Josie held her hand out to me. "Dance with me. I heard a Gray knows how to dance. So, dance with me," she said as I stood up. I walked over and scrolled through her songs and found one. I pressed play, then walked over to her. I took her into my arms and started dancing with her.

I led her as she followed along as we danced around her room. Josie kept up with me as I moved with her. I twirled her around and brought her back to me. We swayed back and forth as we danced. I have to admit dancing with her is fun. I haven't danced with anyone in a long time. I spun her around, making us trip, then fell onto the ground laughing.

I pulled her to me and kissed her.

After that night in Josie's dorm room, I took her out dancing. It was nice to have a break from everything, and we could have fun with each other. We also went to dinner and the movies. We would throw popcorn at each other, trying to land it in our mouths. Yeah, we're terrible shots.

When we went to classes, I would pick her up and walk her to class, holding her hand. Sometimes she would come over to my house when I overslept, waking me up and catch me in my boxers.

We would study together, watch movies, and cuddle with each other. I'm beyond happy because of Josie. She made things simple, even at the bakery, when she would go for a cupcake.

I bought two cupcakes and a coffee. We sat down, enjoying our food when two guys commented about her.

"I'm so glad that I dodge that bullet. Oink, oink," a guy said as Josie stop mid-bite and set her cupcake down. I watched the guys laughed as Josie pushed the cake away.

"I should lie off the sweets," Josie mentions. That pissed me off.

"Eat your cupcake," I said as I got up.

"Payton," Josie said as I walked up to the guy. I tapped on his shoulder. He turned to face me as I hit him. His buddies wanted a shot at me as I took them on until I got help from Matthew, who dropped the other two guys.

"Thanks for the help," I mentioned.

"Don't worry about it. The three stooges need a lesson in manners," Matthew said as I nodded.

The guys groaned as they got to their feet. Matthew and I stopped as they ran out of the bakery. I walked back over to Josie and sat down. She looked at me. "Eat your cupcake," I said as I picked up mine. Josie isn't heavy, and I was not too fond of it when girls didn't enjoy food.

We finished our cupcake and coffee, then left. I walked Josie home and hung out until I went back.

Josie

Spending time with Payton felt incredible. He made me feel unique and treated me like a person. The jerk I went out at the beginning of the school year is mean. Now I know what Payton meant when he saved me from that date.

I went to surprise him and got a surprise of my own. I knocked on the door to his house, and Parker answered it. He told me Payton was upstairs. I went upstairs and opened his door, yelling, "Surprise!"

My eyes widened as Payton stood there naked and wet. I closed the door quickly. Well, uh, the Grays don't lack in a particular department. I went downstairs and rushed past Parker, not looking at him as I left the house. I went back to my dorm room to hide forever.

I came back to the room and walked inside, closing the door behind me. I hid under my blankets as Britt stood there confused. She walked over and tapped me with her finger.

"Are you dead?" Britt asked.

"No, but I will be, so I figure I will get comfy," I said, muffled by the blankets.

"Did you do something stupid?" She asked as I threw the covers down.

"I saw Payton naked," I answered as I pulled the covers back over my head.

"Oh, did he have a nice body?" She asked.

I pulled the covers down and looked at her like she was crazy. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"At least, you got a delightful view," Britt mentioned as I sighed and pulled the covers back over my head.

"My life is over. Payton will never let me live this down. I know how the brothers work. If they find something embarrassing about you, they will tease you relentlessly," I whined under the blankets.

"Aren't you acting overdramatic?" Britt asked me, not realizing she let Payton into our room. He crept over to my bed.

"No, I don't think so. I'm allowed to be dramatic. I mean, I may have seen Payton's, uh, well, little man. Well, it's not so little, more like big," I said under the blankets.

"Is it bigger than a baby's arm?" Someone asked in a high-pitched voice. Did Britt's voice change?

I pulled down the covers as Payton waved at me and smiled. I screamed and fell out of bed, hitting the floor with a thud. I groaned and looked up at Payton, who leaned over, looking at me.

"It's nice to know that you fall for me without me trying," Payton said with a smirk. I sighed.

"Cute," I said.

"I thought so," Payton said as he shrugged. He held out his hand. I took it as he helped me up.

"I'm going anywhere but here. Maybe I'll listen to Markus whine about his crush," Britt said as she left the room, leaving Payton and me alone.

She closed the door as I looked at him and cringed.

"We need to discuss how you need to knock before entering someone's room," Payton told me as I sighed.

This incident leads to a discussion about sex, which I didn't want to have with Payton. I know I'm in a relationship with him, but I'm not ready for sex or anything sexual.

"Relax, Josie; we're just talking," Payton assured me as my nervousness overcame me.

"It's just that you're hot and experienced. I don't want to do the wrong thing and disappoint you. If you haven't noticed, I don't know what I'm doing," I rambled.

"Yeah, I noticed, and you think I'm hot?" Payton asked as I looked at him speechless. He chuckled as I laid back onto my bed and put a pillow over my face, groaning. I felt the pillow move away from my face as Payton looked at me and smiled.

"You're cute when you blush," Payton said as he leaned in and kissed me. He pulled back and said, "I'm in no rush. When you're ready, I'll be waiting." I smiled as he kissed me again.

That's what I love about Payton. He didn't pressure me into doing anything I'm ready to do. It was a pleasant feeling.
