MADELINE POV
I had never seen Grayson as a man. He was extremely attractive, but I only ever saw him as the boy who bullied me in elementary school and the one who hated me with every breathing fiber in his body.
But as soon as he touched me it felt like my whole body was on fire. It felt good being in his arms and the way he kissed me was hard to resist. It was my first kiss and I hated that I loved it.
Although the thought of being attracted to Grayson frightened me. This all felt very wrong.
I changed into some decent clothes and dried my hair. Then I laid down on my bed as I stared at the ceiling.
As I analyzed all of my interactions with Grayson I could not manage to find any moment in my life that he showed attraction or kindness towards me. Ever since the accident I had in sixth grade he stopped bullying me and his cruel behavior towards me stopped. But he did pretend as if I didn't exist. He had avoided me at all cost.
This made it even weirder to have him kiss me. Finally we were interacting and truly looking at each other for the first time. Not quite the way I planned to get to know him but I certainly got to see the real him.
Although I did recall him coming to my bedroom as children to keep me company after my night terrors. I always had bad dreams of my father beating my mother and then trying to drown me. The dreams always felt so vivid but luckily Grayson always came to my room to wake me up and calm me down.
