None of which I am prepared to deal with.
“You’re with someone. What are you doing?” I ask, narrowing my eyes. “And will you get off my bus?”
“You don’t own the bus,” he states, lifting his hand and trapping me in by placing it on the metal rail in front.
“No, I guess you’re right.” I stand, and as I do, I look down at him. “This is me. Please move so I can get off.”
Grayson does as I say, getting up and stepping back so I can scoot out. He follows me until I am off the bus and standing in front of my apartment, the grass green under my feet, the white building right next to us, and the sky a dark gray, it feels like my personality right now. Mixed with different colors. Thanks to him like always..
“Goodnight, Grayson.”
“You aren’t going to invite me in?” he asks.
“No. Go and see your girlfriend.”
He smirks as a car pulls up. “Get inside, Avani.”
“Still so bossy,” I mutter.
But I do just that.
The next night, I don’t see him as I sit at the bus stop, waiting.
I’m wondering when he will show up. Because I know he will eventually.
I have no doubt he will unless he is preoccupied with her.
When I hear the bus, I look around one more time and still see no sign of him. Climbing onto the bus, the driver nods as I pass him to find my seat. And when I do, I see Grayson sitting there in the same seat as last night. Dressed in all black, he is watching me with keen eyes.
“You caught the bus?” I ask, surprised to see him.
“Something like that,” he mutters as he stands and offers me my usual spot. But I don’t take it and sit in front of him instead. The bus takes off, and his breathing increases. “Are you mad?”
“Why are you here?” I ask.
“Tell me where your car is so I can fix it.” The bus passes the next stop without even slowing down.
I look back at him. “It’s in the garage down the road. Now, tell me why you are on this bus,” I reply, hoping that if I give him something, I’ll get something in return.
“I bought it.” He smirks.
“I’m sorry, you what?” I ask, confused.
Did I hear him right? Did he just say…
“This bus. I bought it.”
“You can’t just buy a bus,” I mutter in disbelief.
“If you have enough money, you can buy anything.”
“Fuck me.” I shake my head and face forward again.
“Well, if you’re offering.” Grayson moves and is quickly seated next to me.
“That wasn’t an offer. It was simply me not believing what you did.”
“If you don’t want me to take you at your word, don’t say it.”
