since cameron dallas is going to be in this, also to prevent any confusion, i am going to have all characters refer to him as Cameron and never Cam so when someone says Cam they are referring to Cameron Dolan, their sister.

Grayson's POV

As we walk towards the front door of the house I start to rethink my decision on coming here. I trust Cameron to protect us but I just don't want Samantha to be introduced to this type of thing.

you just don't want Cameron around Sam My subconscious speaks up.

That's not true because i only want to protect her, that's it.

don't lie to yourself.

I ignore my subconscious and continue gripping Samantha's hand while walking up the driveway.

Samantha's POV

Grayson knocks on the door of this mansion that we had just arrived to. We wait there for a few seconds and then a set of feet sound on the other side of the door. A second later a boy around 20 opens up the door.

"G and E what's up?" The boy smiles and "bro" hugs them both causing Grayson to let go of me. For that split second i felt lost without his touch but it soon returned and i let out a breath i didn't know i was holding in.

"Who's this?" The boy ask stepping to the side so he can see around grayson. I look up from the ground at my obvious mention and the boy was staring at me. He steps around gray and grasps my unattended hand and kissed the top, glancing up at Grayson as if to see if he was watching.

"I'm Cameron, what's your name, Beautiful?" He smiles.

"Samantha." I respond quietly due to the glare that Grayson is throwing at this "Cameron", which he ignores.

"Come in." Cameron says motioning his hands toward the house that i presume is his.

Grayson's grip on my hand tightens and i squeeze back signaling that i am nervous.

"Just stay by me." He whispers as we step into the gigantic house.

"Welcome to my humble abode." Cameron says lifting both of his arms to gesture to the house.

"We've been here." Ethan speaks up.

"I was directing that toward, Samantha." Cameron says winking at me.

Grayson's hand squeezes mine so tightly that i begin to think he broke it. "Ouch." I hiss ripping my hand from the harsh grasp.

Grayson's face is hard and he looks angry. His gaze never left Cameron as the "host" walks into the another room motioning us to follow.

I start to walk toward the next room when Grayson looks over at me with a slightly disgusted tone. I return the glance and continue walking.

What is his problem?

Grayson's POV

What is her problem?

Sam just followed him into the kitchen? He's not just going to give her a tour of the house.

What am i talking about? I think to myself.

I sit on one of the large sectionals in the living room. I subconsciously move my leg up and down and tap my finger on my knee as i do so.

"Bro what's up with you?" Ethan asks plopping down next to me.

"You're not going to go join the house tour?" I spit continuing my nervous actions.

"What the hell G, do you hear yourself?" he laughs. I don't respond so he continues. "Just get over this bullshit and go find her because you know cameron." I stay in my spot silent causing him to add "You go or I will." and with that i stand straight up and walk through the doorway going to look for Samantha.

I walk into the kitchen and see Cameron leaning up against the island in the center of the spacious room. Samantha standing on the other side looking uneasy and uncomfortable.

"Babe." I say walking over and pulling her into my arms. She looks up at my confused and slightly startled. I want to make it clear that Samantha is not someone he is allowed to mess with.

"Grayson, how wonderful of you to join us!" Cameron says sarcastically. He looks down at my hands which are around Samantha's waist and smirks a bit before flicking his eyes back up.

"Would you like to see the backyard?" Cameron asks, directing the question toward Sam.

"Sure." She responds causing me to get a little angry but when she leans into me and smiles turning around asking "Is that okay with you babe?" I decide everything is good.
