I look at myself in the mirror and laugh at myself. His shirt comes down to my knees and his boxers won't stay up so I end up tying a bobble around it to hold it up. I walk out and see Grayson sitting on the sofa with his phone. He looks up and around and his eyes land on his clothes on me. He chuckles and walks up to me lifting his shirt up to see my bobble tied shorts. He laughs and shrugs "sorry it's too big" he continues to laugh. "It's fine" I giggle. "You want to order food?" He asks and I smile at the thought and nod. We end up ordering some Chinese food to be delivered.

"Thanks again for this" I say grinning at him. "It's no problem" he says waving his hand. "Your family looks lovely" I smile looking at the photos. He just nods his head standing up to walk into the kitchen. I sigh and scroll through messages on my phone. After replying to some and scrolling a bit, a knock sounds through the flat. I look up and see Grayson opening the door and handing money and thanking them. I walk through to the kitchen and help him set everything up.

"So what kind of instruments do you play?" I ask shoving some rice in my mouth. "A bit of everything, mostly guitar" he looks at me to see my reaction. "Impressive" I smile and he chuckles. After food we clean up and wash the dishes and he says goodnight and heads to his room after giving me a blanket and pillow for the sofa. I switch off the light and climb into the blanket wrapping myself up. I scroll through my phone before feeling my eyes get heavy. Before I know it darkness takes over and I go into a dreamless sleep.

I jolt up as shouting sounds through my ear "NO!" I hear Grayson shout. In fear I rush to my feet and sprint into his room. There on his bed is Grayson thrashing around, shouting. It must be a nightmare. I rush over to him and shout his name and grab his shoulder. He quickly jolts up his eyes are wide, beads of sweat lays over his forehead as he pants and looks confused for a moment.

"Grayson?" I whisper still holding his shoulder and my other hand in his. Once he comes to realisation he let's go of my hand and looks at me "sorry, bad dream" he huffs out. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask him. He quickly glances over and shakes his head. I nod my head and go to walk away which he stops me by grabbing my arm. "Stay? Please?" He pleads his eyes filled with sadness and tiredness. I nod my head and smile a bit as I get into bed next to him. Just as I my eyes close I feel a weight sitting on my side and warmth surrounds me and I fall asleep a bit more happier.

My eyes flutter open and I feel hot steady breaths on my neck. I smile remembering last nights events and close my eyes again hoping that I could stay here a bit longer. Just a few moments later I feel Grayson shift around before sitting up and rubbing his face. I feel my cheeks heat up as I see he's not wearing a shirt. His back muscles all move as he stretches which was quite attractive. "Morning" he smirks catching me looking. I flush even more and quickly sit up "um morning" I smile shyly. "I'm going to take a shower, if you want you can take one after and we can get your keys?" He questions which I nod and smile gratefully. He disappears in the bathroom and I lay back and sigh.

I look around his room and suddenly become intrigued. I was so distracted last night I never actually got to see his room. His room had white walls and a grey wooden floor. He had a black bed with black covers to match with the black rug that sat on his floor. At the window was his desk that his laptop and pencils sat on along with a few books. In the corner of the room he had a guitar that sat nearly on a guitar stand. I jump slightly as I hear a faint buzz sound that leads to the living room.

As I walk into the living room I see my covers on the floor from my sprint last night and my phone on the sofa buzzing. I quickly answer it. "hello?" I say into the phone. "Isabelle! Where are you? I'm at your flat door and no one is answering" Caleb asks. Fuck! Shit! He will understand, as long as I don't tell him I slept in the same bed as Grayson it will be fine. "Isabelle?" He asks. "Um hold on" I say walking towards Grayson's door. I open it and see Caleb at my door. "Did I get the wrong flat?" He asks confused. "Uhh no, it's a long story" I shrug. "What are you wearing? Who's flat is this?" He asks confused. "It's a friends" I say through my teeth. "Listen you must be hungry?" I smile as sweet of a smile as I can muster. "Yeah let's get food?" He says. "W..well you see, I have to take care of something so you go get breakfast somewhere and come back and then we can hang yeah?" I smile walking with him a few steps. He hesitantly nods and walks away. I rush back into the flat and walk through to Grayson's room.

I squeak as i see a very sexy Grayson standing with a towel that's very, VERY low on his hips. "G..g..Grayson!" I yelp and turn around and he just laughs in response. "Hold on" he chuckles and my eyes widen as I hear the towel. I hear a few drawers open and some shuffling. "Okay" he says and I turn around and gulp. "I'm sorry" I whisper. "Calm down it's not like you seen me butt naked" he laughs. I just nod and then Caleb comes back into my mind. "Could you take me to the bar now?" I ask and he nods. "Aren't you going to shower?" He asks raising a brow and I just shake my head and head to the living room to grab my things.

By the time we get to the bar it was about half an hour later. We got my keys and ended up grabbing coffee to take away. Me and Grayson drive back and I see Caleb waiting at my door. "Caleb" I smile and give him a kiss on the cheek. "Caleb this is Grayson" I say looking over at Grayson. Who just had an emotionless face. "Nice to meet you" Caleb smiles. Grayson just nods and walks into his apartment. I stand for a bit and try to think what's wrong with him and end up taking Caleb into my apartment. I give him a little tour and he's still surprised by the boxes around.

"I've been busy" I shrug looking at some boxes stacked. He just smiles and nods and pulls my in for a hug. I breath into his neck and smile as I missed him. It may not seem like it but I did miss him. Caleb started out as my best friend and we ended up dating. Even if he stopped loving me I would always love Caleb even if it was just as a best friend.

We end up talking a bit and he catches me up on school and his family and friends. He speaks about how he's going out with friends more often since I'm away. This reminds me of Sapphire, I feel since I've moved I haven't had time to call. To I mentally remind myself to call her tomorrow.

Just as I start to talk about all my friend. I hear a knock at the door and I look at Caleb before walking over revealing Mia and Brandon. Mia standing with her purse and Brandon carrying the same boxes she brought last time. "Who's excited to go Clubbing!" She laughs walking in. Oh boy.
