malia's pov

i combed through my straight hair as i grabbed my phone off the counter.

i checked my messages and there was a text from grayson.

8:04p.m
grayson: i'm pulling up. get your annoying ass outside

i laughed at the message to myself while jogging down the stairs.

"party?" a voice from the kitchen caused me to stop and turn around.

"yup! bye mommy! love you," i shouted as i started to run out of the house.
"have fun!" she shouted back.

shutting the door behind me, grayson's car pulled up at the exact time.

i smiled as i walked towards his car, his eyes on me the whole time.

i opened the passenger's seat and he greeted me, "hey there."

i laughed lightly with a smile, "hi."

"are you ready?" he asked as i buckled in my seatbelt.

"yes," i responded before reaching for my phone in my back pocket.

we started to drive to the party and let the ten minute drive be filled with soothing music.

"woah shit," grayson chuckled as we took a turn into the neighborhood; seeing cars parked everywhere.

"it is a party for the football team, what did you expect?" i asked him with my eyebrow raised.

"that's true," he said as he parked down the street.

we got out of the car and approached towards the party.

"so... how many people do you think are going to harass you tonight?" i asked grayson as we walked up the street.

he let out a light laugh, "hopefully not much. i made a promise to take care of you tonight."

oof.

"don't go soft now dolan," i called him out.
he scoffed with a smile, "i'm not. just making sure nothing goes wrong."

maybe daniela's right.

he is acting a little bit too much for a "fake" couple.

the front door was open; making me and grayson walked right in the party.

"ayee! the captain!" someone shouted casing everyone to aim their attention at us.
"woo!" everyone cheered.

"yeah! my man!" someone from the football team rooted.
"you brought your girl?" justin came up to us.

"yeah. gotta take care of my baby," grayson answered with a smile.
"sup malia," justin gave me a quick nod as i waved.

"come on, let's take shots," justin dragged us to the kitchen.
grayson acted like it wasn't even a big deal as justin poured alcohol in a red cup.

some people were all up on grayson as he chugged the whole bottle.
"another one bro!" one of the boys shouted.

"i can't. not tonight," grayson shouted back.
"why?" his eyebrows furrowed.

"i have a duty to stay on," he simply told him.

he grabs my shoulder to bring me closer to him.

"come on. there's seats in the living room," grayson said as he dragged my wrist and pulled me to the living room.
