Grayson blushes a bit.

"Oh God, Grayson" I mumble.

"No no. We didn't" he assures us, "You know" he trails off.

Leah nods in agreement.

Grant laughs dryly, "Do I need to show you where the washer is? I think your sheets need to be washed and I won't be touching them" he smirks.

Grayson shakes his head, smiling.

"Anyways, what are we going to do today?" Leah changes the topic.

Grant claps his hands together, "Right. I want to take you guys to this spot I used to go when I was a kid" he tells us, "But first eat some breakfast and then we'll go?" Grant asks.

We all nod in agreement and Ryder just gives a thumbs up, not looking up from his phone.

I stand up and walk through the walkway to the kitchen.

I grab an apple and a knife and start to cut it. I was half way done chopping it when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me.

I feel a hand slide on to my own down to knife.

He takes it out of hand and starts to chop it fast.

"Just like this" James whispers.

"You can go fast, or you can go slow" he whispers.

He sets down the knife and he slides his hands down my sides. He grabs my hips and turns me around to face him.

"Keep a look out" he whispers in my ear.

I was about to why when he suddenly leaned down kissed the side of my neck.

His lips move, so so slowly up my neck to my ear.

He kissed behind my ear, making me moan.

He chuckles against my skin.

I feel him tug at my ear with teeth. I gasp at his actions.

And then he was just gone. I open m eyes; I didn't even realize that they had closed.

There was absolutely no sign of him.

I shrug it off and finish making my breakfast.

He was such a hormonal dude.

I take my plate of chopped apples and walk into the living room and sit down on the couch.

I was sitting alone until Grayson flopped down beside me.

"So how'd it go last night?" He looks at me with his bright eyes.

I love seeing my best friend happy, it means I am doing my job.

I give him a questioning look, "How do you mean?" I pop a piece of apple into my mouth.

He furrow his eyebrows, "Last night, with James. Was it awkward?" He asks.

What was I supposed to say. I mean, it was just a normal thing for me to sleep with James.

"Oh it was super awkward" I try to hide my sarcasm.

He narrows his eyes at me and then his eyes bulge, "You liar!" He exclaims.

I shake my head, "Why would you think that?" I look away from his eyes.

He moves my jaw to look at him, "When you lie, your eyes change to a light green" he smiles.

I glare at him. Damn him knowing so much about me.

"Whatever. Let me eat my breakfast" I eat a few more apples.

Grayson nudges me, "So what you're saying is that you enjoyed it?" He asks.

Sometimes I wish I had a best friend who didn't care so much.

"Why do you care so much?" I ask.

He runs his hand through his dark brown hair. "I just want the best for you".

I lean back in my seat, "You're such a woman sometimes" I mumble.

He elbows me in the side. "I am not!".

I laugh at the fact that he knows this is true.

"VENA!" I hear James tell for me from upstairs.

I set my plate on the table and jog up the stairs.

I open the door to our room. I shut the door and see James sitting on the edge of the bed. He was bent over with his head in his hands.

This had to do with that thing that he refuses to tell me.

I walk over to him and sit behind him on my knees. I place my hands on his back and rub up and down.

He lifts his head and looks back at me, "What are you doing Vena?" He furrows his eyebrows, showing how bloodshot his eyes were from crying. That made me feel bad for him.

I shrug, "You called me and I am assuming that it is because you want me to make you feel better" I move my hands down to his sides.

He gives a small smile, but then it turns back into a frown.

He turns and grabs my hips and lifts me into his lap like I weighed nothing.

I wrap my legs around him and my arms around his torso.

He leans his forehead against mine and wraps his arms around me.

"I think it's time that I told you the truth about my past" he whispers.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Quick lay down. Pretend your sleeping" I rush him.

I unlatch myself from him and lay back down on his chest like I usually do when we sleep together.

The door opens and I close my eyes.

"Should we wake them up?" I hear Leah's voice.

"Nah, just leave them" I hear Grants voice say and the door shuts.

I open my eyes and look at James.

"I'm going to tell you now" he sits up.

I sit up with him lean against the head board.

"Just know that I am here for you, right here" I tell him.

He looks over at me and grabs my hand.

"I should probably tell you this stuff now because things between us seem to be moving" he smiles.

"I once lived in Chicago when I was 10. I was living with my parents and they weren't the best people in the world. They were abusive to Autumn and I. My dad was a leader of a gang and my mother did some unholy things that I don't wish to speak of" he explains.

"I lived like that for so long. It felt like I could never get away from it.

One day when I was at school the teachers assistant came up to me and asked why there was so many bruises on my arm, but I couldn't tell her the truth. I wanted so badly to tell her, but I know that that could kill me, literally" he continues.

I look up at his face and see a tear run down it. I reach and brush it away.

"Anyways, someone called Social Services and my sister and I were taken away. I was sent to New York and my sister was sent to Colorado. My parents were both sent to prison. I am terrified every night that those monsters are going to haunt my dreams, but I know because you are there that they wouldn't dare" He chuckles at his words and kisses the side of my head.

"I never saw my sister again though. I miss her everyday and I hope that I have the chance to see her all grown up" he runs his hand through my hair.

"I lived in New York ever since then with my foster parents, who soon then adopted me. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are better parents then those other two bastards I have to call my biological parents" he says.

"That's the reason why I need you to sleep next to me. You keep the terrible nightmares away and I thank you for that. Ever since this whole agreement was set in place, I haven't had another nightmare about those monsters" he lifts my hand up to his mouth and kiss my knuckles.

I move from beside him and into his lap, "James, I promise you that one day you will see your sister again. I promise that" he look up at him.

He leans down to my face and and kisses my nose. "Thank you, my darling" he smiles.

"Do you want to go with me to the store?" James asks when he comes out the bathroom.

I didn't answer because I was too busy staring at his chest. There was water droplets that ran down the upper part down to the lower part. It rippled down his abs, down his V line, into his towel that covered his lower half.

"Vena!" He waves his hand in my face, making me come out of my trance.

I look up at his face, "What?" I ask, startled a bit.

"Have fun staring at my beautiful body?" He smirks.

What a perfect time to tease him.

I take a step forward and run my hands all the way door to his abs. I look up at him, "I've seen better" I smirk at him and walk out of the room feelings pretty great, until...

"No you haven't!" he shouts to me.

I grunt and continue down the stairs. It wasn't fair because he was right.

I wait downstairs for him. Everyone was still gone because Grant wanted to take them on a little adventure.

Moments later I felt someone kiss my neck. I turn and see James standing behind the couch with a smile on his face.

I get up and walk around to him and he wraps his arms around my waist. "We need to talk about us" he smiles.

I give him a questioning look, "Why?".

"You know why. It's clear to me that you have some feelings for me" he sways my hips a bit.

I feel my cheeks warm. I glare at him and shake my head and walk out of his arms and put on my shoes and coat.

"If you want to go then let's go" I snap, opening the front door.

"You're hot when you're mad" He slides on his coat and shoes.

We step outside, the cool air hitting me.

I turn and look at James. "Did it slip you mind that you don't have your car?" I cross my arms.

He smirks at me and grabs my hand, leading me over to the five door garage.

He types in a password and the first one opens.

There standing was a blue Corvette.

James walks in and grabs a set of keys out of a drawer. He swings them around his finger and smiles at me.

"Shall we?" He asks.

I groan and walk over to the car and slip into the passenger seat.

It was nice. Grant was absolutely loaded. The seats were black leather and the dash did not have one speck of dust on it.

"Vena, would you listen to me!" James shouts at me

His voice pulls me out of my thoughts. I glare at him.

People say I have a temper. James just yelled at me for no reason.

"Why the hell are you yelling at me?!" I shout back.

Okay, maybe I'm a bit of a hypocrite.

He groans and pulls out of the driveway.

We were now on the road and James still wasn't talking, but neither was I.

"I didn't mean to yell" he says suddenly.

I shake my head, "Would you please just shut up" I snap.

I'm not going to lie, it did hurt my feelings when he yelled. I know he didn't mean to, but it still hurts.

He puts his hand on my knee.

I brush it away, but he holds on.

"Listen, you know I didn't mean to yell" he keeps his eyes in the road.

I give him and fake smile, "And I'm not sharing a bed with my roommate" I say with a sarcastic tone.

He chuckles, "Actually we alternate" he tells me.

Not lately. Although his bed is a lot comfortable than mine.

He pulls over to the side of the road and puts it in park. He turns and looks at me.

"You know that I would never do anything to hurt you" he tells me.

I scoff. "How can I know that?" I turn to him, "How can I trust you?" I snap, running my hands through my hair.

How can you really trust anyone?

God, I don't know if I like this. I need to know what you guys think. If not, then I guess that I will take it down and rewrite it.

I need to know what you guys think.
