As it turned out, Grayson was an attentive boyfriend. It was dawning on me, the appeal he held. Well, other than his looks, which were devastating and becoming more so with each day that passed. It was crazy, too, because I really didn’t think he had a clue how good looking he was. He was all about talking up his game on the court and he never shut up about his success with the ladies, but he never attributed it to his appearance. It was always his charm and laid back personality. He claimed both were irresistible. He wasn’t wrong, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t gorgeous, too.

“What are we doing here?” I asked.

Grayson turned to me with a frown. “Shhh.”

I fought the urge to roll my eyes and instead used them to take in our surroundings. Grayson had called me earlier in the evening. It was Sunday and we’d been fake dating for two weeks exactly. He insisted he needed to go somewhere and I needed to drive him. Good thing Dad had surprised me with an older model Ford truck the week before or Grayson would be hoofing it to wherever he wanted to go while I stayed snuggled under the covers rewatching Sherlock on Netflix. I had a thing for Benedict Cumberbatch, so sue me.

Anyway, I’d driven over to the apartment complex where Grayson lived with his mom and picked him up. He’d been waiting on the front steps of the run down building and I was surprised by the feelings of sympathy flooding my chest. Things had gotten easier between us, but Grayson hadn’t changed. Girls still threw themselves at him everyday. He might not flirt back or give them any kind of encouragement, but the fact remained, Grayson was a charmer.

“Seriously, what are we doing?”

Grayson pointed. “Pull over here. Park under that tree.”

I did as he asked, cranking the wheel and pulling my aging truck under a tree with large overhanging branches.

“Okay. Now what?” This was ridiculous.

Grayson eyes searched through the leaves and then he pointed again. “There. See them?”

Squinting, I looked where he pointed. At first, I didn’t see anything, but then it was easy to see why we’d snuck out so late.

“What are they doing?” I asked.

Grayson turned to me. “What do you think they’re doing? They’re sneaking around.”

“They’re having coffee, Grayson. Friends have coffee.” Just like friends hug, I thought to myself. Oh, dear. I looked harder. My dad and Michelle sat in a booth, clearly visible through the large bay window of the cafe. Instead of sitting across from each other on the vinyl benches, they sat side-by-side. Dad’s arm circled Michelle’s shoulders and her head rested in the crook of his neck.

We weren’t close enough to see their faces. “Let’s get closer.” I was out of the truck before Grayson had a chance to respond. He scrambled to follow.

“Hey! What are you doing? We don’t want them to see us.” He was right beside me after jogging to catch up.
