~ Taylor~

When I wake up I'm snuggling someone so I don't really want to get up. I try to remember how I got into this situation and when I realize the someone is Grayson I shoot up and scramble away from him.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry," I say, mortified. "You could have just left."

"I tried, but you kept pulling me in. Literally," Grayson says. He doesn't seem very annoyed, which is odd. I feel like he's one to stray from anything resembling affection.

"You seriously should have just shoved me off. I feel so bad. I'm a cuddler and Hudson won't ever spend the night so I'm not used to having someone else in bed with me," I say, a little embarrassed. I don't know why I'm embarrassed about it. Maybe it's because Grayson is the only one that knows about Hudson's lack of...intimacy.

"Taylor, it is okay. It's not like there's anyone at home waiting for me." No one at home? What about his parents? I realize at this moment that I know absolutely nothing about Grayson's life, yet he knows more about mine than most people.

"Where are your parents?" I ask.

"They're gone almost as much as your parents are. I rarely see them. They give me a credit card and leave me on my own," Grayson explains. He doesn't seem too sad about it. I had no idea he lived like this too. It gives me a new respect for him.

"Well I'm glad someone else knows what it's like to pretty much live alone. Hudson always tells me to stop talking about it because he thinks it isn't a big deal. I really love that guy but he makes things really frustrating sometimes," I say with a sigh.

"Well, if he makes things so frustrating, why don't you break up with him?" Grayson asks.

"I still love him, and even though it doesn't seem like it all the time, I know he loves me too. It's complicated," I say with a sigh. I had been doubting my feelings for Hudson a little bit, but saying them out loud has cemented them for me. I don't even know why Grayson is having this conversation with me, but whatever.

I start to get out of bed and realize that I still don't have any clothes on after last night. I look back at Grayson and he's biting his lip. His face is almost pleading.

"I'll just jack off in your driveway if we don't do it," he says. I roll my eyes and crawl over to Grayson and we have slow, lazy morning sex. I wish I could have these sort of moments with Hudson, but he's too much of a prude.

Once Grayson is gone I get in the shower and spend what seems like forever under the steaming water. I wish Hudson wasn't going to be gone all weekend. I want to hang out with him and cuddle. I love cuddling, but I don't think Grayson is the cuddling type.

I spend the day doing homework and reading and watching TV. It's hella boring, but all my friends are busy and Hudson is out of town, so I have nothing else to do. I would text Grayson and tell him to come back over, but I think he lives kind of far away so I feel bad making him drive out here.
