Distance //a Grayson Dolan love story

Telling my friends

Ari POV:
It's been a few days since my birthday. Ethan and Grayson are still here, they plan to leave in 4 days. Today is the day we tell my friends who my boyfriend is. Gray is gonna come drop off food for me at school and we're going to be a little obvious.
"Baby you have to get up" Gray says as he places kisses all over my face, Mark already left to school since he has an early class so we're free to be all lovey dovey.
"Mmmm" I say smiling in my sleep.
"No wake up" Gray says.
"No" I mumble cuddling into him.
"Okay you leave me no choice" he says before he starts to tickle me making me squeal.
"I'm up I'm up. Gray stop" I say through my laughter.
"I love you" he says after stopping.
"I love you too" I say before pulling him in for a kiss. We stay like that for a little bit before I get up and go shower. I come into my room and Gray leaves so I can get ready. Once I'm done I go downstairs and see Ethan asleep and Gray sitting at the table on his phone.
"Hey bubs" I say walking into the kitchen.
"Hey baby." He says putting his phone down and walks up to me. He lifts me into the counter after I finish getting my stuff ready.
"I love you so much" he says before kissing me.
"Are you guys for real?!" Isa exclaims causing us to pull apart.
"Hey Isa" we both say as we blush and Gray helps me down.
"You ready?" She asks.
"Yup!" I say before turning to Gray "I love you too" I say before kissing him again before we start to leave.
"Wait guys" Gray says "Text me your food orders around 11 so I can go get them"
"Okay we will" Isa says.
"See you later Bubs. Love you" I say walking out.
Around 11 I'm in dance class when I remember I have to text Gray.
"Hey Carmen. Can you pass me my phone" I say.
"Yea here" she says and gets a glimpse of a picture Ethan took when I was in LA during the summer of me and Gray kissing in the sunset. You can't tell who we are but it's obvious we're kissing. "That's cute. So when we gonna find out who the mystery boyfriend is"
"Relatively soon." I say and pull up my messages with Gray.

My heart❤️: Hey baby. What do you want to eat? You haven't told me yet.
Me: Hey bubs, where are you ordering from?
My heart❤️: I'm not sure. Whatever you want baby.
Me: okay. Then my usual from Panda Express
My heart❤️: sounds good. I'll be there to drop it off later. Love you.
Me: Love you too😘

I see Carmen look at my phone from behind me and I stare at it for another second before I put it down. "Ready to work on this dance?" I ask.
"Yeah. You're really serious about him aren't you?" She asks.
"Yeah I am" I say with a smile. The rest of class goes by quickly and before I know it's lunch time.
"Hey guys" I say as I sit down.
"Hey Ari" "sup" "hi" is heard from all my friends.
"Hey cuz" I hear and see Isa come to sit down.
"Hey." I say.
"Isa? Your sitting here today?" My friend Alex says.
"Yea. We got a food delivery coming," Isa says, "speaking of when is he coming?"
"He should be here soon" I say and look at my phone.

My heart❤️: I'm coming up.
Me: ok bubs

"He's coming up now" I say.
"Who?" My friends ask.
"Someone" I say mysteriously.
"Ari!" Gray yells and my friends look at him and their jaws drop, especially my friend Jessica as she's a big Dolan twin fan.
"Food!" I yell and run to him taking the bag and going back to sitting. "This is for you" I say and give Isa her food.
"Really baby?" He says. "No thank you Bubs for bringing me food. No I love you"
"Awww are you lonely? Is E still asleep?" I ask him jokingly.
"Your mean" he says and sits next to me wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Im sorry bubs" I say and lean back before looking at my friends to see them shocked.
"Hey people that I don't know" Gray says.
"Guys this is my boyfriend Grayson Dolan. Gray this is Alex, Natalie, Carmen, Bree, Itzel, Emily, Jessica who's a big fan by the way, and you know Eli" I introduce them.
"Dude! You're dating Grayson Dolan." Jessica exclaims.
"Keep it down will you" I say "we aren't really telling fans until January after our one year anniversary."
"Ok. So like your family again?" Gray asks.
"Yup. Questions go?"
"How'd you meet?" Alex asks.
"Gucci store when i went to your colleges in LA" I say.
"How'd he ask you out" Bree asks.
"FaceTime call. It wasn't anything big but it was amazing" I say and Gray pecks my forehead.
"How'd your family react?" Carmen asks and Eli starts laughing remembering my birthday.
"Oh she told them off before they could even get to much in" Eli says.
"They got mad about the age difference. It's not that much and honestly I don't care and I love him so yea"
"Love you too. Also I got permission to pull you out for the rest of the day." Gray says.
"What about me?" Isa exclaims.
"We're going on a date, and I already brought you food" he says.
"True. Okay I'll let you off the hook just this once" she says pointing her chop sticks at him before she goes back to eating.
We talk for the rest of lunch, my friends and Gray get along well. Jessica asks for a picture with him and before I know it lunch is over and we leave the school going to the movies to watch 'Spider-Man: Far from home'.
