MADDIE
The hurt in Graysonâs eyes as he backed away from me sends me into a panic.
I donât even know what my momâs rambling on about now. I just need to get to Grayson and make it right. Fuck, why did I say that!
I donât want to put Grayson through a grilling from my mom. Not yet. I donât think either of us are ready for that. The words came out before I could stop them. Itâs almost by instinct with her now. Iâm so bothered about her opinion. I clearly donât care who I hurt in the process. Itâs toxic.
âLook, Mom,â I cut her off, âI have to go. Iâll see you Sunday.â I donât give her a chance to reply and cut the call.
The bedroom door slams shut, making me jump.
Oh, heâs pissed.
I pad over to the bedroom and hover by the door as heâs slamming the draws shut. Taking a deep breath, I turn the knob and open the door.
âGrayson, Iâm so sorry about that.â
He doesnât even turn to look at me; he just rummages through his t-shirts.
âGrayson?â
âItâs fine. Just go get dressed, Iâll take you home. I think we could do with some space.â
I sigh and lean against the doorframe, watching as he shoves a black sweater over his head. I swallow the lump forming in my throat.
âOkay.â
Reluctantly, I make my way back into the living room, picking up my black shirt thatâs tossed on the floor. As I do up the last button, Grayson storms past the couch and heads toward the elevator, jabbing the button.
Wow, he really does want me gone.
âI can call a cab, donât worry.â
âJust because Iâm pissed off doesnât mean I wonât get you home safe. Okay?â
I nod and grab my phone off the couch and snatch my bag from the floor. The elevator dings and the doors slide open. I follow behind him and we stand in silence, staring at the sliding doors.
I can almost hear his brain ticking from the other side of the elevator. I let out a breath as the doors reopen into the parking lot. The cold air makes me shiver. I follow him to his Audi with my eyes on the ground.
I slip into the passenger seat, and heâs already turned the engine on, his hands gripping the steering wheel.
This is bad.
As we go past the security barriers, I turn to him. His sharp jawâs clenched. I rest my hand on his thigh, and he flinches.
âIâm sorry.â I slide my hand off his thigh. He catches my hand and laces his fingers through mine, squeezing them.
âIf you arenât ready for this, thatâs okay. I can wait. Iâm not the most patient man, but for you, Iâll try. I donât think Iâll ever be a man you want to take home to your parents though, Maddie.â
Before I met him, well, before I kissed him, he would have been right. I would never have even considered a relationship with him for that reason.
But now, I donât want to let this slip away because of what my judgmental mom thinks.
