She came up to me with a huge smile on her face which made me grin like a loon and then she got on her toes and kissed me smack on the mouth. At first, I was a little surprised but then I just went with it. Putting my beer down on the kitchen counter I put my hands on the sides of her neck and pulled her in even closer. When she gasped, that was when I slipped my tongue in her mouth and we kissed like that for what feels like forever. Groaning, I pulled away from her before I took her back upstairs. I put my forehead on hers and I was pretty sure this was the first time she has ever seen me smile in front of her because she was giving me the biggest smile I have ever seen on her as well.
“What are you doing baby?” I whispered to her.
“Not giving a fuck what people think anymore. I love you, Grayson. I don’t want to hide what we have anymore,” she confessed to me.
“Fuck” I gritted out.
“You are fucking amazing you know that?” I asked her then kiss her once more before…
“I love you too baby.” She looked at me and I thought this was the happiest I had ever seen her before.
“I have to go see the other guys but I will be back around soon.” She slipped away and I didn’t move my gaze from her until she got to Ryder and pulled him in for a kiss as well. Looks like she really meant it when she talked about not hiding us anymore.
Looking around I saw that we have drawn a bit of attention and a few people were staring at me. One person in particular that I feel her eyes on me like they were knives skating down my skin. Skylar was looking from me to Ryder and back over and over again. She came stalking up to me ready to spout out her bullshit but I stop her before she even starts.
“Save your bullshit Skylar I don’t want to hear it. You can’t do or say anything to change what is going on so just go away.” I growled at her while walking away from her and towards the only woman that really matters to me.
Getting to the others I noticed that everyone was back to partying. Thankful that the eyes weren’t on us I say, “Well what do we think about this?”
“We think this is fucking awesome right, Ryder?” Asher asked Ryder. Ryder had this look in his eye that I didn’t like. I told them all to meet me in my room in five minutes. Malia looked so happy tonight and I didn’t want anyone to ruin that but I need to figure out what this look that Ryder gave me was about. When I got to my room I laid back on my bed and ran my hands through my hair repeatedly. Unfortunately, nothing helped my frustrations so I got up and paced trying to think about what Ryder’s issue could be.
Before I got any further into my own head everyone came through the door. Ryder sits on the end of my bed, Asher stands against the back of my bedroom door, and Malia was leaning against the side of the dresser looking downright pissed.
“Anyone want to tell me what the fuck is going on. Malia, you just had a huge smile on your face and now you look mad as fuck. Ryder this is a good thing so why aren’t you happy about this?” I growled at them. This made no fucking sense to me whatsoever.
Ryder sighed and said quietly, “I just would have liked a heads up so I knew what was going to happen. I feel like this is going to make everything worse at school for you pretty girl.”
“If I actually cared about it Ryder I wouldn’t have done what I did. Why the fuck do you care what people think? Is there something else you aren’t telling us?” Malia hissed at him.
“Baby calm down there isn’t any reason to get upset. I am sure Ryder isn’t hiding anything from us he is most likely just worried about you that’s all.”
I pulled her into a hug and she leaned into me for all of two-seconds and then she said with so much venom in her words it hurts my heart, “You know what Ryder if you didn’t want people to know you were with me then maybe we just shouldn’t be together at all. Are you that embarrassed to be seen with me that you are mad at me for this. I am fucking sick of hiding and pretending that I don’t love you guys. If that is too much for you then just fucking say so and I will walk away. I am not going to pretend anymore. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go find my best friend and have some drinks with her.” She stormed out of the bedroom but not before Ryder begged, “Malia please wait I…. That isn’t… would you just wait for a damn minute?”
“I have waited Ryder. You don’t understand what it is like to see girls come and approach you and not be able to do or say anything about it. Please just leave it alone. I am sorry I kissed you in front of everyone. It won’t happen again,” she fired back at him before going back downstairs.
“What in the ever loving fuck was that god damn shit Ryder? If anyone should be happy about this it should be you because this would help keep Skylar off your back! Ya know if I didn’t know you as well
