Hawaiian broken hearts

Chapter 4- Not in that way

Gray carried my two bags by himself while I complained about it, I could take them myself but he insisted. He seemed so happy today, even after I got to their home in such a bad mood.

"I like to see you happy like this, what's up?" He seemed surprised

"I'm really excited for the trip you know, and I'm happy you're coming still. Thank you for not giving up on it btw." I smiled

"Thank you for offering your room, I wouldn't go if you didn't" he smiled too. I felt loved here, even after what happened and my mood increased immediately.

"I'm starving" he said while turning the car on "wanna go pick up something for lunch? It's on me" he winked and I agreed

We went to McDonald's drive through and picked up lunch for us, Ethan and his girl, who should be at the house by now.
When we got home, Gray took my bags and he wanted to carry the lunch bags aswell but I ran away with them, which made him laugh. He ran after me, which scared me a little. Not because of him but just being chased in general is kinda scary, but like in a fun way, plus he was so much faster than me. We raced to the door and I let out a scream when he caught up to me. We got in the house laughing and Ethan smiled

"Glad you're feeling better" he said softly and I smiled, the. I noticed Kristina and she gave me a huge hug, she had just arrived from Australia "god I missed you girl" she said "me too!" I was happy to see her. We pulled away and she held my hands "Ethan told me about Kyle just want you to know, anything you need I'm here for you" she seemed so sincere I almost cried because of her kindness and how loved I felt. I thanked her and gave her another hug

"Alright that's enough it's getting corny now" Gray joked and hugged Kristina "so good to see you dude" he told her. Gray treated almost every girl like they were a bro, but he never did that to me even tho we spent so much time together and I always wondered about that.

We went outside and had lunch next to the pool, obviously Gray threw me in it just before, clothes and all but I couldn't even get mad at him. We had a quick swim and he gave me one of his shirts and shorts for me to change into while my clothes dried. I looked so funny in the tho. They smelled nice, just like him and with that thought I felt my heavy eyelids close and darkness took over. I honestly could nap anywhere.

"Hey" I heard Gray's voice and opened my eyes slowly, to find my head laying on his shoulder and my body weight being supported by him. I basically fell asleep on him after lunch. I sat straight immediately "I'm sorry Gray"

"No, there's no problem, I just woke you up cause I'm scared you'll get sunburn, it's been an hour" I immediately blushed. I was embarrassed I slept an hour on him but he just laughed

"I was thinking we could leave the house for a few hours to let the love birds have their space" he gave me that if you know what I mean look and I laughed

"Yeah, what do you feel like doing?" I yawned, recovering from my nap and looked up at him. We were still sitting next to each other and he still had his arm around me, so we were pretty close. His eyes looked beautiful, light brown with a shade of green and his cheeks were a little red from the sun

"Sound good?" Oh shit, he had been talking this entire time and I didn't hear shit. I blushed and started stuttering and he laughed at me, clearly realizing what just happened. I got so awkward but he just said "so let's go to the beach?" And I nodded cringing at myself, while he still laughed lightly. Why am I like this?
