- Cassiella POV -
Friday night. I just got home, after going out to Carnaby with Nara and Finn. We had a good time. Dining and shopping. It was around 8, I was laying down on my bed, picked up my phone, there was an unread message
Grayson: Any plan tomorrow?
Me: No, why?
Grayson: Good. I'll pick you up at 7
Grayson: In the morning
Me: What? Seriously??
Grayson: Go get some sleep Princess, I'll see you tomorrow
Oh come on, I'm not saying I'm going with him. The way he talks casually, so annoying. Sometimes he can be nice but it's something that won't last long.
The next day, 6 am. I woke up because he's calling, but I refused to answer. Then he sent a message.
Grayson: Good morning Princess, wake up!
I did not reply his message, I was so sleepy. I continued my sleep until 30 minutes later, he called me again. I picked up the call, then closed my eyes again.
Me: I'm so sleepy
Grayson: Open the window
He hung up the call. Wait what?? I woke up from my bed instantly. I turned on the light, shifted the curtain, opened the window slash sliding door. A tall good looking guy with black jacket, standing in front of me. He's holding his phone, he said nothing. I rubbed my eyes to figure out if it's him for real. Wait I was only wearing tank top and my undies. Sh*t
"What are you doing? Put your phone down" I said quietly, as I don't want Ed to wake up and find out
I stepped back and he came in. But he's still holding his phone towards me until few seconds I guess
"No.. until you come with me" he whispered, as showing off to me the video that he took just by now
The video of me, OMG!!
"What did you do? Delete it" I said
He looked on his phone screen, then stared at me, from top to toe, as checking me out
"You know you look hot" he smirked
"Delete the video please.. " I begged with pitiful face
"Yes but come with me. Get ready, I'll wait here" he smirked as sitting on my bed
"Argg.. I have no choice" I said with sad face
I grabbed my outfit then took a quick shower. He was still there when I finished changing in the bathroom.
"I'll wait outside, bring change clothes ok" he said as walked out through the window
I put a t-shirt on my bag, and applied some moisturizer and pink lip balm. I stepped downstairs quietly. I locked the front door and it was him standing by the car and the other guy on the opposite. In seconds, the car window's opened, two other of his friends.
"Good morning Cassie" the one on the outside of the car said, as moving closer, lended a hand
"Oh hey, good morning" I said awkwardly
"I'm Harry by the way" he said
"Come get in" Grayson said as he opened the back door for me.
Once I got in, Grayson introduced the other two. It's Oliver and Cody. Grayson drove the car, and Oliver sat in front. I was in the middle seat with Harry and Cody. They said, we will go to Suffolk.
The trip was about 3 hours. We made a stop at gas station and we also bought some food for breakfast.
First stop, we took a boat trip, and tasted delicious smoked fish. The view was beautiful and relaxing. Then, we had lunch at their favorite local restaurant.
So far, it was fun. We talked to each other, laughed to Oliver and Harry's jokes.
After lunch, we walked out the town by feet. It's scenic. Oliver got a Leica camera, he took some pictures of the roads, building, and he asked random guy to take picture of us. Later, I noticed Harry took his mobile phone from his pocket, as saying
"Let's make Insta worthy pictures, hey Cassie can I take a photo of you and Grayson" Harry said as holding his phone
Grayson was standing right beside me, it took second to him to wrap around my waist. Harry captured some pictures.
"Nice, ok one more" Harry said as winked towards us
Suddenly, Grayson kissed my cheek, as Harry took the picture. He got it. I guessed my cheek's turning red.
"How was it?" Grayson said as moving closer to Harry
"Well, sweet.." Harry smiles, as showing off his phone screen
"Let me see" Cody moved closer to see the pictures
"Send me the pictures, ah the last one is the cutest, don't you think so sweetheart?" Grayson said as glanced towards me. I'm running out of words. Duh, it's 2-0 already for today.

- Grayson POV -
It's almost 5 pm. We made a quick stop to grab some food for dinner, then continued to the cottage. While waiting for the food. I saw her talking to someone on the phone, she came to me as saying
"Ed wants to talk to you" Cassie said as giving her phone to me
"Oh OK" I took the phone, and make a space to her
Edward: So, she said, all of you will sleep in Suffolk
I walked outside, while she stared at me as I talked to his brother. I told her to stay inside.
Me: Yes, we will stay in my friend's cottage. I hope you don't mind, I mean about her
Edward: You know she used to be a very closed person, I didn't expect her to go anyway
Me: I guessed so
Edward: Don't mess up with her
Me: I won't, even she's kinda harsh to me haha
Edward: Haha yeah no surprised
She's looking at me through the window as curious about the conversation. Then I saw Cody came next to her, they're having a talk. At least, it has distracted her.
Edward: Anyway, she can't sleep without a sheet covering her feet
Me: Don't worry, I'll take care of her
Edward: You'd better be
I walked in as hung up the phone. She seemed curious but, she asked nothing. Once we arrived in the cottage, we cleaned up ourself, and arranged some mattresses in the living room. Cody and Oliver brought pillow and sheets. While me and Harry carried away the table from living room. There are three bedrooms, but we always sleep in the living room, having conversation, lets say quality time for this brotherhood.
We played some music. Cody lighted up the fireplace, while Harry was laying on a sofa. Oliver was laying on the mattress with me sitting beside him. And she's beside me.
"Less than a year to take off the uniform. Time flies, don't you think so" Oliver said
"I think it's 5 years ago, the first time I came here" Harry said, as he rested his arm on the sofa
"Yeah and it feels like I just met you guys yesterday" Cody raised his voice
"You know we're having so much fun, not so much bad things" I said, stealing glances to my girl beside me
"I'm tired of these somehow, so much fun, party, the girls and drinks.. I'm thinking to join my father business trip next month, it'd probably something good for me, and interesting to work on" Harry told us
"Oh wow is that coming from my Harry" Oliver said as making funny face
"Finally.. man, you're growing up" I said
"And so you are Grayski.. " Harry said as looking at me and then glanced to Cassiela
"Grayski?? Sounds cute" she smiled
"He is, no wonder he can get a girl with just a wink" Harry answered as looking at me
"Hey no heart feeling man" I said as trying to cover up. What the hell is he talking about, I mean it's her beside me, making me even more awkward
"If you have a girl friend, what will she be like?" Oliver threw a question in sudden
"Whoaaa what a question.. " Harry said as waking up from his lay down position, and sat on the sofa as the conversation getting deep
"Not just someone you want to sleep with" Cody said as raising his eyebrow
"She must be nice, a good girl. You know I'm a bad one, and all those girls I slept with were probably bad, they sleep around. That's why I did not want relationship, or lets say yes but no feeling, maybe a little, or is it just part of the fun. I think this might also happens to you guys" Harry added
"I'm thinking the same" Oliver sighed
"And you want to be good for her, just because she's the one" Cody added
"But you also want her to be bad just for you" I added as throwing a smirk to Cassie
"Hahaha exactly!!" Harry laughed
"Anyway Cassie, have you ever been in a relationship?" Cody asked
Thank you Cody, it's still hard for me to talk about something like this to her. But with these guys,
"Me? Ohh.. ya.. once, but it was for a short time, so I didn't really... what to say..." she said
"Experience?" Oliver guessed
"Yaaa.. well you can say it, guys are so hard to trust" she sighed
"Haha I agree" Cody said as pointing his finger to Cassie
"How did it end? If I may ... " Harry being curious
"He slept with another girl, probably more. I wasn't good enough for him I guess" she said as smiled
She smiled but I could see on her eyes, she had so much thing going on her mind. I really want to hug and comfort her right now.
"No way, he must be so stupid" Cody shouted
"Hey it's nothing about you, do not blame yourself, if he cheated then it's about him, cheating is a choice" Oliver raised his voice
"He must be super handsome?" Harry guessed
"Yeah he's handsome anyway" she smiled again, but really I didn't like it this time.
"Then, he felt sorry for everything, asking for you to come back? Classic." Cody's getting curious and it sounds like he's copying movie script
"True. I did not want anything else, start over again, no" she said confidently
"That's my girl! You know cheating is the worst people can do" Harry said
"Like so.. you never want a relationship" Oliver said as facing Harry
"Hey man.. great conclusion haha" Cody laughed
"So, did you sleep with him??" Harry asked innocently
"It's a wrap!! Let's get some sleep!" I cut the talk as it'd be very awkward for her. I didn't really know what to say, but I listened to her stories. It's probably one of the reason, that she became very cold to me in particular. She'd been hurt.
I was not sure if she passed out already but I could not help my self to turned around looking at her, I grabbed a sheet and put it to cover up her feet. All I want is to take care of her, comfort her.
Dim light, her face, it's the greatest view from here, she's so close to me, she's sleeping beside me, but I don't want to bother. I can't do anything but watching her. I'm confused, it's hard to decide about what should I do with her. I like her a lot, she's cute, adorable, she's special. I just can't help my self to tease her, it's probably annoying for her. I'm afraid that she will stay away from me.

- Cassiela POV -
I woke up as I heard people talking, the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Opened up my eyes, and I realized someone wrapped his arm around me. He whispered,
"Good morning Princess" he said
Grayson. Did we sleep like this all night long? I mean, we're so close, skin to skin. But nothing happens though for sure. I did not drink anything and I'm pretty sure that he's not drunk also.
As I saw around, it was only both of us left on the mattress. I tried to get up but he held me even tighter, put both of his hand around my waist.
"Morning cuddles.. ah so sweet, I'm jealous" Harry said as walked to the sofa, holding a cup of coffee
"I should've brought a girl" Oliver added
"You are the first girl that coming here with us, Cassie" Cody said as looking at me
"And the first that made Grayson smiling on his phone" Oliver added, as throwing a smirked
"Come on man.. that's enough. I'm having a good time here" Grayson said, hugged me tighter, making me so nervous.
