"go to your house or something" i say while speeding up in front of him. little did i know, my legs were too slow compared to his.

"no, i'm coming with you whether you like it or not" grayson says as we walk a little farther exiting our neighborhood.

"where are we going?" gray announces breaking the silence.

"to target. i need to get razors because i ran out along with my chapstick" i return as we move across to the other side of the street.

it's really quiet by this time of night. i know that it's only 8:00pm but it feels like it's 3am. quiet. only a couple cars on the streets and you can hear when the colors change from green going back to red.

grayson and i soon enter target and while i was walking to the women's necessities as grayson followed behind quietly. too quiet. so i turned around and he was gone.

ugh.
where did he go?

i went and grabbed a four pack of razors then saw a little floof of hair above the not so tall aisle. i walked around and there he stood looking at some of the men's appliances.

"don't you dare do that to me again." i say while grabbing him and walking with him towards the shortest line.

"awwww did i scare you? i thought you didn't want me here? huh princess" grayson says looking down at me giving a sly smirk as i laugh slightly.

"fuck you, i was worried that's all" i says while turning around looking at the chapstick and gum then placing them down on the counter in front of the cashier.

as we were waiting in line i heard a couple of girls voices.

"isn't that grayson?"

"who grayson dolan?"

"yeah that's him!"

"he's so hot!!!"

"wait guys....who's he with?"

"isn't that jackson's ex girlfriend? i'm pretty sure she cheated on him, but that's just from what i heard"

their words were crawling down my spine uncomfortably. i don't want to be seen with grayson right now because then the word would spread to mason.

i grabbed my phone quickly and texted grayson:

me: act like you don't know me.

gray pants: why?

me: don't ask questions just do it.

"wow melody! i didn't see you behind me!" grayson says raising his voice a tiny bit.

"oh yeah! ha, that's funny. what a coinkidink!" i say then soon regret it afterwards.

i turn around and see them walking far down the bathing suit aisle.

"alright we're good" i say as i give the cashier my card.

"i already got it" grayson says giving my card back to me. i smile at him and he smiles back ,with teeth this time. we walk back to his house then once we enter the neighborhood i check the cameras that are located in the basement.

"they're all passed out" i say while grabbing a piece of gum. we walk up the steps to his front door and sit down.

"oo can i have one?" gray says as i hand him the bag still checking the cameras making sure.

"i cant find it" gray says as i turn my head and we're both centimeters away from touching each other lips.
