Emily's POV

My eyes spring open when I hear something drop. I'm still in Grayson's arms as he sleeps soundly. I gently wiggle my way out of his warm, strong arms and let myself slip into the cold, dark apartment.

As I walk away from the couch, I hear creaks from the hall. My heart instantly started racing and my palms filling up with pools of sweat. I run to the kitchen, quietly, and grab a ladle. It was the closest thing to me and seemed hard enough to hurt someone.

I quickly made my way down the hall and saw that Y/N's bedroom door was open. I leaned up against the wall next to her door, took a deep breath, and then ran into the room screaming. I heard a feminine, familiar scream in return, but I was too scared and filled with adrenaline to stop hitting the person. Said person kept telling me to stop over and over again, and I finally pinned them down.

"Gotcha!" I yelled.

"Emily! What the actual hell?!" The person said.

Suddenly the light turns on, my eyes instantly burn from the brightness, and then they focus on the brunette under me.

"What's going on?" A groggy Grayson says, standing by the door.

"I- well we were sneaking through the house so we didn't wake you guys up and then Emily beat me with a- did you really attack me with a ladle?" She said, ending her story with a slight giggle.

"Oh, well you see I thought you guys were going to stay back at E and Gray's place, so I thought someone broke in." I said, a sound of guilt tinging my voice.

"It's okay, Em. Can you please get off of me though, please?" She said with lack of breath.

"Oh my God, yes sorry!" I said scrambling off her.

"Well, now that we've got that all figured out, I'm going to pass out now. So, goodnight!" Ethan said, collapsing into Y/N's bed.

"G'night." I say, walking past Grayson.

As I'm about to walk into my room, I feel someone gently tug on my shoulder. I spin around and see a now more awake Grayson staring deeply into my ocean blue eyes.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Let's head back to my place?" He said, a smirk creeping onto his face.

I bit my lip and nodded my head. He took my hand and we quickly slipped out of my apartment into his, making sure to lock the door.

As soon as we stepped in, he pushed me against the wall, instantly connecting our lips passionately. He slipped his tongue in my mouth, without even asking for entrance. Our motions became quicker, and before I knew it, we were entangled in his sheets on his bed. Our bodies colliding in a manner I've never experienced! His lips soft, but firm against my body as he placed kisses up and down my body.  His hands firmly grasp my waist, raising me slightly off the bed and against his muscular physique.

Once we reached our peaks, we laid back down on the bed, our chests moving up and down quickly as we attempted to catch our breaths.

I feel his arms lock around my waist, his face digging into my neck, and I hear him whisper: goodnight, love.

I smile up at the ceiling and whisper it back to him, his arms tightening around me. I snuggle into his strong body and smile at the love I feel when I'm with him. He is my happiness.

"I love you." I whisper, pecking his forehead.

"I love you too." He mumbled into my neck.

My cheeks instantly fill with a rose color and butterflies come alive in my stomach.

Yes, I know what we just did is looked down upon in society, but I couldn't care less. Grayson made me feel differently, and I know I've probably said that a thousand times already, but he does! He lights this fire inside of me and it warms me up and makes me happy. I'm not sure exactly how to explain how I feel, it's just good and makes me feel happy.

As I was thinking about the soppy mess my life is that I love so much, I slowly fell into the beautiful dream world, and dreamt beautiful future scenarios where Grayson and I grow old together.

Does he feel the same way about me?

Of course he would or we wouldn't have done what we just did.

Is he using me?

No. I know we met only about a month ago, but-

He might be.

Is he?

Oh no.
