Chapter 39: Grayson: Proving a Point

"Grayson!" Isabelle calls down the hallway. I stop and wait for her to catch up. "What was that back there?"

"That was me proving a point."

"And what point was that?"

"That you're still so concerned with Cam and his feelings. That you're terrified of letting anyone close. That I'm a nice distraction for you but not good enough for anything more. I don't know." I rub my hands over my face. "Take your pick."

"You're wrong," she says.

"Whatever." I shake my head and turn to leave.

"Don't walk away from me."

I spin around. "Then stop making it so easy."

We're now standing chest to chest, and as I stare down at her, I'm struck with just how badly I want this girl. She drives me nuts, but she also challenges me and makes me laugh. And God help me, I can't stop thinking about that kiss. I have no idea what she's so afraid of, but it doesn't matter. She's worth the risk.

I caress her cheek with my hand, and she leans into my touch. "Go to homecoming with me," I whisper.
