Emily's POV*
I walked quickly into the building and back into the staff room.
I pulled out my phone and opened up messages. I opened Simons texts.
12:30pm
Me: can't hang tonight but wanna grab breakfast tomorrow? :)
12:32pm
Simon: Yes. I'll pick you up at 11
I smiled and put my phone back into my bag. I shoved my bag back into my locker and made my way back to work.
* * *
I check the time on the clock behind me. It reads 8:58pm. 2 more minutes until I get out of this place.
"Emily your shift is over" Brandon, one of my co-workers says to me. He was tall, about 6'1 with black hair and blue eye and he just turned 21. He was very good looking but not as good as Grayson obviously.
I sigh in relief.
"See you tomorrow at 8am" I said grinning at him.
"Can't wait" he said winking at me. I laughed and walked towards my locker. I swung it open and grabbed all my stuff.
My phone buzzed and I checked it.
6:03pm
Grayson: hey I'm outside :)
6:03pm
Me: not that I mind but since when were you picking me up? Lol
6:03pm
Grayson: since 10 minutes ago when I decided that I couldn't wait to see you ;)
6:03pm
Me: how can I stay away from you when you say things like this huh?
6:03pm
Grayson: then don't stay away from me
6:04pm
Me: your so cheesy
I refrain myself from smiling and quickly walk to the bathroom to get changed.
After I changed I walked out of the building. I notice Grayson's car and him leaning against the door scrolling through his phone.
I take a shaky breath. Here goes nothing!
I walked over and clear my throat. Grayson looks up from his phone and a smile instantly takes over his face.
"Hey" He said softly.
"Hi" I reply with a smile.
"Shall we" He said opening the passenger door for me. I laughed. "We shall" I said mimicking him. I slipped into the seat.
He laughed and closed the door. He jogged around to his side and got in the car.
He turned the key in the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot. I took this time to examine what he was wearing. He wore a black t-shirt with blue ripped jeans and black and white vans. He had a blue snapback on backwards and his dangly earring was shining in the sun.
I bit my lip and looked away when I realised I was staring.
"Um are you hungry. You wanna grab something to eat" he asked glancing at me.
"Uh sure, thanks" I said nodding my head.
He pulled into the closest restaurant and parked the car. I grabbed all my stuff and Grayson opened the door for me.
I thanked him and we walked into the building. "How many?" The woman asked.
"2" Grayson replied politely. She nodded her head and grabbed 2 menus. "Follow me" She said as she walked to a vacant table.
She set the menus down and we took our
seats. "Can I start you guys off with some drinks?" She asked pulling out a notepad.
"What do you want?" Grayson asked me.
"Uh, ill just have water" I said. "2 waters" he said to the waitress.
"Okay." She said writing it down and walking away so we could read the menus.
"So..." Grayson said breaking the silence. "Are we gonna talk about it?" He asked shifting awkwardly in his seat.
"I guess I have to give you an explanation, don't I" I said sighing.
Grayson chuckled. "Yes that would be nice" he said as the waitress came back with our drinks.
"Would you like to order?" She said and we both nodded our heads. After telling her out orders she walked away leaving us in silence.
I looked up and Grayson who was already looking at me with a smile on his face.
"What?"
"Nothing. I just like to look at beautiful girls" he said making my cheeks redden.
"Smooth one" I said rolling my eyes playfully.
I took a deep breath. "You want the truth?" I said and he nodded his head, slighting grinning.
"Briannamademebreakupwithyoubecauseshewantsyoualltoherselfandshethreatenedmeifididnt"
"Woah, woah, whoa, slow down Emily. I didn't get any of that" he said. "Ok fine"
"Brianna made me break up with you because she wants you all to yourself and she threatened if I didn't" I said much slower.
Grayson froze and his jaw clenched. "B-Brianna threatened you?" He asked clenching his fists.
I nodded my head slowly looking down at my hands. He lifted up my chin with his forefinger and I noticed the anger in his eyes.
"What did she say to you" He said in low voice that scared the shit out of me.
"I-It doesn't matter Grayson, what's done is done" I said quietly.
"No Emily. You have to tell me what she said" he said in a serious tone.
I sighed. "She said if I didn't break up with you she would..."
"She would what?" He questioned.
"I can't tell you" I said shaking my head.
"Why not" he said looking hurt. "Please we have to be honest with each other" he said grabbing hold of one of my hands.
I sighed and looked up at him. He gave me a goofy smile making me laugh. This boy.
I smiled. "How about I tell you afterwards. I want Madison and Ethan to be there too. Okay?" I asked.
"Okay" He said smiling at me.
