Chapter 12 - Making...Up
"Someone's finally up," Grayson said as I hopped down the stairs of my house. Grayson had been hanging out here a lot...
I nodded. It had been a couple weeks since we hung out in New York and things were starting to get back to normal, well, what they were before the incident. Today we (Kat, Ethan, Grayson and me) were all going to a trampoline place called Bounce for the day. I am wearing a black spaghetti strap crop top, high waisted jean shorts, a white sweater and my vans. Yes it was winter, but were gonna be inside jumping so I may as well wear something that will keep me cool. My long brown hair was pulled back in a Miley Cyrus top knot with a few strands askew. I sat down next to Grayson and fiddled with my ring. He looked up from his phone at me, smiling when I turned to look at him.
"What?" I said when he stared at me for a solid minute.
"I'm just-nothing," he said, laughing.
I cocked my head to the side and looked at him. It was obvious he wanted to say something, but I didn't press any further since our relationship, if you could even call it that, was pretty delicate right now.
"We need to talk." Grayson's voice broke the deep silence that had taken over.
I already knew what he wanted to talk about, but still said, "About?" I quirked my eyebrow and looked evenly at him, licking my lips.
"At the party," he started, and I let out a light moan, making him laugh.
"Please, Grayson lets just not talk about it." I looked at my hands like they were the most interesting thing in the world.
"No, it's been almost two months. We need to talk about it. Now."
I nodded for him to continue. "Haley, at the party when you saw Feli and me..that was just really bad timing. I didn't kiss her, she grabbed me when she saw you and started kissing me. I wouldn't ever kiss her willingly."
"Look you don't need to to be explain yourself to me. We aren't together."
A look of pain flashed through his eyes and he pursed his lips. My heart clenched as I said it, because I really wanted to be with him. All this time I was thinking revenge would make it better when really we just need to sort things out.
"And I'm sorry for hanging around Feli after. You were hanging out with Ryder and I didn't like you hanging out with him. He's bad news."
I scoffed. "You don't need to tell me. Why does he hate you?"
Grayson's eyes darkened and fogged up like he was remembering something. He ran a hand through his hair and it fell in big, messy chunks on his forehead.
"That's a story for another time," he grinned, "Now, are we good yet?"
"Mm, not quite," i said, tapping my chin, "You fought Ryder after he said something to you. And I want you to know that what he said is a total lie."
Grayson looked at his hands, taking in a deep shaky breath.
"I knew he was lying, but I still wanted to hit him for even saying that."
I nodded in understanding, if I had the chance I would hit him too. Grayson turned his whole body to face me, touching my shoulders and making me look at him. His warm hands burned my bare skin, sending tingles through my whole body.
"I really really like you," he said.
A wide smile spread across my face and my cheeks grew warm. Luckily my tan skin covered the blush so he didn't even notice.
"I like you too," I said, licking my lips.
His eyes flickered from my lips back to my eyes and he let out a small sigh. He pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around my waist tightly while I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I inhaled the familiar scent and held back a whimper as I realized how much I missed this.
He pulled back slightly so we were facing each other, but our faces were so close if either one of us spoke they would brush against each other.
"So are we good then?"
I smiled. "Yeah, we're good."
"Finally, because I've been wanting to do this."
He leaned forward, but I pulled back a little in shock. He stopped and his eyes widened.
"I'm sorry. If you didn't want to-"
"No, I did," I assured him.
When he didn't move I pulled him towards me. My arms wrapped around his neck again and his around my waist. His eyes flickered to my lips and I leaned in a little. His fingers dug into my back in anticipation and his he licked his lips. Our lips touched, the smell of mint intoxicated me. He was cautious and I could tell he was holding back, and I silently thanked him for that. The kiss was over as fast as it began, but Grayson's hand never left my waist.
"Let's go." Ethan's voice snapped me out of whatever trance I was under and I jumped away from Grayson.
Grayson's POV
My mind kept rewinding to the kiss while we drove to Bounce. It wasn't hot and steamy, but it was one of the best kisses I have ever hand. For two reasons; one, it was with Haley. And two, she's a really good kisser. Since it was our first kiss, besides the quick one at the party, I held back a little. If I didn't I probably wouldn't have been able to stop myself from throwing her on the table and fucking her right there.
She was so gorgeous. It was like she purposefully teased and tempted me. Her crop tops that showed off her tan, toned stomach. Her Jean shorts showed off her nice legs and butt and her hair tied up in a sexy messy bun. Pressure started to build in my pants and I cursed. Okay, stop thinking about her. Think of something really gross. The pressure started to subside and I sighed in relief. I can't have that kind of pressure down there with her right next to me, especially when I'm driving. It's a huge distraction, she's a huge distraction.
My eyes flickered to see she had her legs propped up on the dashboard. She had killer legs; they were all tan and toned and even though she was short she still had pretty long legs. Well you know, for a short girl. The pressure built up again and I looked back to the road, thinking about something else.
What was she doing to me? Before I met her the only time I got a boner was when I saw a girl naked. Haley wasn't naked or anything, she was just sitting like every other girl. But she was different. She was special.
Oh, look at you being all mushy, a little voice in the back of my head scolded me. I can't help it, look at her. Okay, actually no, don't look at her.
"Grayson!" she shouted, bringing me back to reality.
"What?" I panicked, did she see my boner?
"You just ran a red light and two stop signs!"
I smiled sheepishly at her and she just flicked know the radio to a random station and went back to her phone. My hands clenched the wheel until my knuckles were white when I saw she was texting Brandon. I didn't hate him before this, in fact we were actually friends. But after that picture he posted and everything that happened in New York, I hated his guts. Mostly because I knew he could probably make her a lot happier. Anyone could make her a lot happier than me. I shook the thoughts out of my head and focused on driving.
I wanted her all to myself, selfish I know; but I can't help it. The thought of her being with anyone but me makes me stomach twist uncomfortably. Knowing that I'll never be good enough for her makes it even worse.
I felt something warm press against my hand and turns to see Haley had put her hand on top of mine. She looked up at me with her one brown one green eye (Fun fact: I have one brown and one green it's called heterochromia and for two years I wore a brown contact because I didn't like my green eye) with concern. I had always loved her eyes, it made her so unique. She didn't say anything, just squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile before looking back at the road.
Bounce was over three hours away so after an hour we stopped at a gas station. The air was surprisingly warm, a light breeze blowing my hair away from my face.
"I have to go to the bathroom," Haley said, "I'll be right back."
I watched her hop on the road to avoid hitting the white rocks and smile to myself.
"You are in too deep," Ethan said, making me turn around.
"What do you mean?"
He scoffed, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms over his chest in a defensive manner. I stood taller, and since I was two inches taller than him i towered over him.
"Haley wouldn't ever like you after what you did," Ethan said, "You kissed Feli."
I clenched my fists by my sides and my jaw clicked. "You know she jumped on me, stop making it seem like I wanted it."
Ethan just pat my shoulder and shook his head, walking away while laughing to himself. What a twat. What if he was right? From Haley's perspective what happened was all my fault. If I were her I wouldn't ever talk to me again, let alone forgive me.
I sat in the car with the window rolled down, letting in the cool pre-spring breeze. My eyes started to droop, and I let myself start to drift off to sleep. A loud banging jolted me from my half sleeping stage and I looked up to see Haley standing outside the car. I checked to see if she needed me to unlock the doors, but they were already unlocked. I rolled down the window and she stuck her head in.
"Kat and Ethan are going to get food," she said, propping her elbows up on the window sill and sighing.
"Are you gonna get in the car?" I asked when she didn't move.
She narrowed her eyes at me and crossed her arms over her chest.
"No, I like it out here."
I sighed, running a hand through my messy hair. After debating for a minute, I reached my hand out and pulled her towards me. She let out a squeak in surprise, tripping on something and falling through the open window into my lap. I cupped her head in my hands, pulling her close to me. My heart started to beat faster like it always does when she's close to me. My eyes flicked down to her parted lips and back up to her eyes.
Our lips touched, sending shots of electricity through me. The smell of her vanilla perfume invaded my senses. She pulled at my hair and I groaned, wanting her to touch me anywhere she could get her hands on. My hands traveled down her waist to her thighs, making her sigh. She pulled away and looked up at me with a large grin across her face.
I think it was that moment that I knew for sure. Her big smile spread across her face and her eyes glimmering from the sunlight with her arms wrapped around me and her heartbeat thumping in my ears, I realized what I have been trying to hide. I am in love with Haley Dixon.
