Wait… these pictures are over the summer. How long have they been dating?
Seems like Grayson Collins is holding onto the past.
Omg the cutest couple.
“I don’t want him to have problems with Grayson.”
Ava grabs me by my shoulder, her grip nearly bruising. “Stop that. Gavin is the definition ofif he wanted to he would. He wants to.”
“I told him I’m not ready for a relationship.”
Ava sets her phone back down on the counter and continues brushing the eye shadow onto her lid, “Who said anything about a relationship? All he did was post you, he didn’t propose.”
“I know… I just don’t want to give him the wrong impression. I really like him but I feel like it’s too soon?”
She looks at me confused, “So there's a specific time limit before you can move on? You guys are perfect together, Quinn. I don’t want you to push him away and regret it later.”
“I’m not, I just wanna go slow.”
Ava nods, “Okay. Go slow, but that post… it helps you, Quinn. He is risking a fight with Grayson to make sure no one is talking shit about you.”
“It is really sweet.”
She smiles, “Damn right it is. Now get your pretty ass to that game Saturday and watch him play.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Ava shrugs, “Good enough for me.”
“Where are you going?” I ask, looking at the mound of clothes she’s dug through on her bed.
“Remi needs a fake date for his sister’s birthday dinner.”
I laugh, “So you agreed?”
She crosses her arms all sassy, “Duh. Of course.”
“And you aren’t worried that you might start to get attached even though it’s fake?”
“Nope,” she says, popping her lips. “Besides I’m getting something in return.”
“What’s that?” I ask.
“Tutoring,” she shrugs.
“In what?” I laugh, “You literally graduated top of your class.”
“Well, he doesn’t know that,” She grins. “Tutoring means spending time together.”
“You’re crazy.”
She shakes her head, “No, Quinn. I’m a genius.”
“If you say so,” I laugh, walking back over to the table where my phone is plugged in and notice a few messages from Gavin.
Phoenix
Come to my game Saturday.
