Weed & Sunbathing - Eden tag Gray

[Eden Patridge]

Eden didn't really feel like doing anything. Yesterday had turned out to be way more stressful that she needed it to be. The whole school had been whispering about her and Jett hooking up and then even Ben and Izzy had started to question them about it. Eden know that Ben and Izzy didn't think she and Jett would ever hook up, but still, they knew that something was going, and the stress of trying to come up with something plausible among all the gossip, was stressing Eden out.

At present she was lying out on her back deck in a bikini just soaking up the sun. She thought it had been the best way to relax but she still seemed on edge...she kept checking her phone...waiting for maybe Jett or even Izzy to contact her. It would bound to happen. Eden needed to relax.

She got up and headed inside walking to her room and grabbing her bong a long with some weed. She brought both back outside and started to pack the bowl when the door bell rang. Eden knew no one was home so she left her bong on the deck and walked to the front door still clad in her purple and black Volcom bikini and vintage aviator sunglasses.

She opened up the door, surprised to see Gray. She smiled. She hadn't really hung out with him recently but he was one of the guys she and Ben used to smoke up with fairly regularly. "Hey," Eden said, pushing some hair off her face. "Ben's not around but I was just about to smoke a bowl. You want in?" she asked.

Waking up, Gray wasn't surprised to see that Jamie was gone. It was what she did. They would smoke, hang out abit, and if she was too tired, she'd crash on his beanbag and before he woke up, she'd be gone. Last night felt weird for some odd reason. Gray had been almost clingy, something he knew he usually wasn't. Maybe it was the influence of the weed he had smoked but he had never been that clingy before.

He wanted to get rid of the confusion so he tried looking for the rest of his smokes but they were gone. "Crap..." he mumbled sleepily. Hesitantly, he got out of bed and into the shower for a really cold bath to wake him up. When he was done, he passed his sister's room just as she was going out. "Hey gorgeous." He grinned before slinging her over his shoulder despite her protestations and pathetic attempts to beat him up. "Mom!" She hollered but he could hear her giggling the whole time.

During the heavy breakfast of hash browns, toast, bacon strips, eggs and orange juice, Gray asked his two main girls how their night out yesterday had gone. As they started to recount what happened, Gray listened with appropriate laughter inserted and the shaking of his head in amusement. "So, good night?" He asked when he finally got a word in. "The best. You should have been there but then it wouldn't be a girls' night out anymore. But it was awesome, Gray!" Daisy grinned, scooping a spoonful of eggs into her mouth. "I bet," he gave a smile to his mother who returned it with a small one. He wondered what was wrong.

Once everyone was done, Daisy went to the living room to watch Saturday cartoons, leaving Gray and his mom in the kitchen. He helped her load the dishwasher and then leaned against the counter as she made herself a cup of coffee. "What's wrong?" He asked. His mother seemed distracted and continued to stir sugar in her coffee. Gray grabbed the sugar dispenser and pulled it away before his mother developed diabetes. She snapped out of her reverie and looked at him in confusion. "What? Oh...nothing...nothing's wrong sweetie," she gave him one of her fake smiles before sitting at the day table with her coffee.

Gray walked over to her and squeezed her hand as he sat down. "Come on, mom..." it took a lot of prodding until his mom finally sighed and looked over at the living room where Daisy had burst into laughter at something on TV. "It's your father-" She started. "He's not my father." Gray interrupted. "Gray...your dad's in a really bad shape." His mom's voice broke slightly, making Gray soften slightly. He could never show anger towards his mother, not even over his father. "Mom...he stopped caring for us long ago, why would you care for him now?"

"Gray...your dad did not stop caring for us. He just...stopped being with us...he has a college fund set up for you and your sister and-"

"I really don't care about his money, mom." Gray reasoned. "Then care about his condition. Gray...he's sick." The woman was on the verge of tears and Gray felt really bad about upsetting her even further. To be frank, he really couldn't care about his father. But if it affected his mother this way, how could he not? But he was still angry that his father still had a way with his mother.

He pushed his chair out and stood up. "I really don't care about that." He shook his head and got out of the house, wandering aimlessly until he stopped at a familiar house. He hadn't been here in awhile and he decided, what the heck. He was having a bad day. He was sure the occupants would have a solution for his problems.

Knocking on the door, he waited until it opened and Gray being a boy, of course he checked the girl out. She was practically naked in front of him. He blinked up when she mentioned weed. "Uh...yeah. You...you read my mind." He still didn't shake off the thought of her in less than she was already in. "You're...you sure Ben's not around?" He asked as he walked in, following her to the back of the house where the hot tub was.

His worries temporarily forgotten, Gray sat on one of the chairs and waited for Eden to prepare.

[Eden Patridge]

"Cool," Eden said, when Gray admitted that he'd pretty much come to smoke up. She wasn't really thinking about how much she'd changed recently and how she hadn't really hung out with Gray since she had. The last time she'd hung out with him she probably hadn't worn makeup and was probably dressed in something frumpy that completely hid her body and she was definitely a virgin who'd hardly done anything more than kissing with a boy. But it had seemed that one thing had happened after another and Eden was quite different now.

"Nah, Ben's at the beach with some girl he met," Eden said with a shrug. "He didn't want to bring her here though," she added, since the Patridge household was right on the beach. Usually if they wanted to go to the beach they'd just walk outside...it was basically their back yard, or front yard, depending on how you looked at it. As Eden let Gray in she wasn't paying attention much and when she pushed the door to close it, it popped back open a bit, leaving it slightly ajar.

"Yeah, I set up my bong out on the deck, so you seriously, came at just the right time," she told him as she walked back out there, Gray following her. The back of the Patridge house contained a massive deck, which sat on the sand. Step off it and you were on their semi private beach (since there wasn't exactly an entrance to the public and to get there they'd had to walk down a bit). On the deck sat some lounge chairs where Eden had been and off to one side a table and chairs had been set up along with a massive grill that hardly got used. On the other side of the deck was a hot tub, which was actually ready to go since her mother had used it in the morning and never really turned it off.

Eden sat down on the chair she'd been lounging in, only she was sitting up now as she grabbed the bong. Gray was in the chair next to her. Her bong was already packed and ready to go so she grabbed a lighter and took a hit. Holding it for a moment before she breathed out, she could feel the herb instantly. It had been a good hit. A few more and Jett would be the farthest thing from her mind, hopefully.

She passed the bong and lighter to Gray. "So, what have you been up to lately?" she asked, since it had been awhile since she hung out with the sophomore.

[Grayson Shepherd]

He was thirteen when he first met Eden. Like him, Eden had been scrappy and frumpy, nothing like the girl who was standing in front of him right then. For Gray, he went through his growth spurt when he was fourteen and hadn't stopped growing since. He got interested in music, boxing, basketball and track, all of them leading to what he looked like now. He supposed part of the reason why he stopped hanging out with her was simply because they grew apart. And Eden grew boobs, apparently. She had a tan and her dirty blond hair was now practically translucent.

Gray had seen her around the beach along with her brother whenever he woke up early to run on the weekends. But he never thought of how she had changed physically. All in all, she was damn sizzling hot now. And in the bikini she had on...Gray shouldn't be held accountable for his staring. And his thoughts that have strayed way beyond them just sitting on their respective chairs and taking turns doing a hit.

Accepting the bong from Eden and then the lighter, he took a long hard drag and held it in a lot longer than he had to before slowly letting it out. Slowly what he was previously worried about disappeared with the smoke. He handed the device back to the owner and leaned back on his chair. Her question for a while just floated in the air, unanswered. When Gray sorta touched earth, he turned to look at her to answer. "Band's getting recognition." He said. "Been busy writing melodies. You should come catch us play. Been awhile," Gray said. He felt a bit warm under the sun so he took his shirt off. "Hmm...better."

[Eden Patridge]

While Eden remembered very well when Gray had changed physically, she knew that her transformation had been more recent. She'd always been that overly skinny girl in the baggy clothes that hid it all and fit her like a potato sack. Now she had curves--she was still a bit of a bean pole, and her curves weren't huge, but they suited her long lean body. And while she might have had those curves for a few years now, she'd continued hiding them under her clothes until more recently. Eden knew very well that Gray had become more interested in other things, thus coming around less and less, but Ben and Eden had had Jett and Izzy, the kids they'd grown up with and while Gray had always been cool to hang out with, it hadn't been a big deal when they'd grown apart. But Eden was actually excited to see him now...a nice little blast from the past to calm her nerves over Jett. Of course, she had no idea what was going through Gray's mind. Sure, they'd both changed a lot, mentally and physically, however, right now, to Eden it seemed like the same old Gray, like she was 14 again and they were just smoking up and nothing more.

That is until he pulled his shirt off. Okay, so Gray had a nice body, yes, but why was he trying to show it off to her, or maybe he was just warm. It was warm outside. Eden ignored her thoughts and took another hit, letting the pot cloud her brain. It was so much better than thinking. She passed it back to Gray and then took it back after he took a hit. She took one more, and decided that she wasn't sure she could handle being any higher at the moment and would hold off smoking more until the feeling dulled a little.

"I think I'm good," she said, passing the bong back to Gray. "There's not a ton left but you'll get a little. I can pack in more if you want, but I'm gonna hold off for now," she said. Once he took the bong she moved her body back into a laying position, crossing her long stretched out legs at her ankles. "You hot?" she asked finally, referring to when he'd taken off his shirt, which was now a few minutes ago. "If you're hot you should go run into the ocean...the water is really cold right now...probably too cold though. If you jumped in the ocean right now you'd be freezing...even with a wet suit its cold," she said rambling a little, but it was the slow rambles of a high girl instead of nervous or anything like that.

"You good?" she asked a moment later after he took his last hit and probably finished off the weed in there. She sat up again to take the bong so she could put it away. She got up, holding the bong and walking it over toward where the hot tub was even though it would have made more sense to put it on the table on the other side of the deck. She was really high though and not really thinking logically. She put it down on the floor of the deck, next to the house and sort of out of the way and walked over to the hot tub which was already set up and ready to go. She stepped inside but stood on one of the benches inside so the water only hit her calves, a little bit below her knees. She looked over at Gray who was still sitting down. "I want to go swimming," she said. "But the oceans to cold. This waters hot though," she told him, laughing slightly in her stoned state.

[Grayson Shepherd]

After a few hits, Eden decided she'd had enough and Gray took the bong from her to finish the weed off. "No weed goes unfinished when I'm around, girlie girl." Girlie girl...that was a silly name. Gray chuckled before it turned into a giggle and into a full blown laugh. He didn't even think it was that funny but the hard hit he had taken really messed with his head. As it should, he supposed. He hated thinking about his father. He hated thinking about how much power the man still had over his mother. It wasn't right. And right now he just needed to forget.

"I'm hot, yes." Gray said without any indication that he noticed the double meaning. If it wasn't because of the heat, he wouldn't be taking his shirt off. Or at least he thought it was the heat. It could very well be the weed making him think it was hot. He laughed at Eden's rambling, thinking it was cute how the older girl was so chatty when she was high. He actually remembered that. Shrugging off that thought, he took the last hit and laid back on the chair. "Good God that was awesome." He stretched, closing his eyes against the sun. His body was slowly relaxing and he was itching to dip himself into something warm. Chocolate would have been an awesome option.

Gray cracked open one eye to look at Eden who was talking about swimming. He got into a sitting position, just staring at the girl in a bikini standing in a hot tub. He narrowed his eyes slightly before getting up, feeling just slightly woozy but not enough to knock him back down. He crossed the porch...or backyard, depending on how you were seeing the place, over to where Eden was and stripped down to his boxers. Stepping into the warm water, Gray shivered at the contrast. "This is a good idea." He said before pulling Eden in with him as he found a comfortable spot in the hot tub. He was slowly getting more at ease with the girl in his arms. An older girl at that.

His hand clutched Eden's waist and grinned. "You're wearing way too much..." he mumbled against her shoulder. "It's unfair since I'm only in my boxers...I feel very vulnerable now Eden..." he teased, knowing full well that he was the one who pulled her in the tub in the first place. And he was the one holding her against him.

[Eden Patridge]

Gray's giggling made Eden giggle. Man, she was high. She watched as we walked over toward her and stripped down to just his boxers. She sort of just stood there and watched, trying to formulate a sentence to ask him what he was doing, but before she could get anything out, he'd hopped into the hot tub and and pulled her down on his lap. Eden smiled and giggled a little. It felt nice to be in someone's arms. She didn't have feelings for Gray like that...she had feelings for Jett as much as she avoided actually admitting that. But Gray was there and Eden didn't exactly have the best track record when it came to saying 'No'. Plus, it felt good and she was far to high to worry about the consequences.

She shook her head, holding back more giggles when he told her that she was wearing too much, her over grown bangs fell over one of her eyes, since she'd taken her sunglasses off when she'd stepped into the hot tub. "Mine's less fabric so its even," she purred into his ear. Maybe he was younger than her, but only by a year, which was something that wouldn't have been a huge deal sober and wasn't even a blip on her radar while high.

"Oh really...I'm making you uncomfortable?" she couldn't help but laugh, "Because I'm wearing too many clothes," she grinned. "If you insist," she told him, still smirking and not really thinking about what she was doing at all, but then again, Eden rarely thought about what she was doing anymore. Once, the girl who stressed over every little thing, she'd gotten a taste of what it was like to be free from that stress and just let go and make out and have sex with whoever wanted to and she was going a little overboard without realizing it or stopping to think about what she was doing and who she'd be affecting at all.

She un-clipped the top straps of her bikini top, still holding it up with her hand, not letting him see anything yet. She then undid the back clip before pulling the top away, stretching out her arm and letting it drop outside the hot tub. But even so, her long wavy hair was long enough to cover anything the bikini top had been hiding anyway, falling just past her chest like a mermaid. She bit down on her bottom lip, shaking her hair a little, giving him just the hint of seeing more without completely showing anything per say. "That better?" she asked innocently. If she wasn't so high, she'd probably be in shock about what was starting to happen between herself and Gray and maybe even she'd be holding back on what she was doing, but the pot and clouded her brain along with any inhibitions she might normally have.

[Grayson Shepherd]

"Less fabric...!" That brought more laughter from Gray as he pressed his forehead against Eden's back, shaking in merriment. Or in intoxication. Either way, his big body was shaking the petite girl as well. He let her go as his laughter subsided and when she finally agreed to take her top off, Gray wasn't even rattled into consciousness. Her hair obscured everything that was to see but then she shook her hair lightly and he could see enough and needless to say, he was reacting to it.

Her question brought forth a smirk on his face and he pulled her close before sliding his hand up to her shoulder behind the curtain of hair to cup the back of her head. The kiss that came after was definitely not something Gray would do if he were sober. Not because he wasn't attracted to her because he was. It was just not something he would do. He wouldn't just kiss a girl against her will. Not when she was half-naked and definitely not in her hot tub.

Not a thought ran across his mind as his hand traveled down the side of her arms, pushing her hair in the wake. His lips were pressed against hers, his tongue prying her lips apart. Her body was smooth under the water and Gray's fingers skirted the hem of her bikini bottom. He pulled away from her just an inch to look at her, wondering if she was really there. This wouldn't be the first time he dreamt about girls in his arms. "Way better," he mumbled. "Way...way better." He said before pressing his lips on her neck.

For awhile, they just stayed in that position. He wasn't sure if Eden was reciprocating but so far she didn't complain. She was quite pliant in his hands. He just hoped he wasn't taking advantage of her.

[Jett Chen]

Jett had flt bad about things with Eden and Ben, so he decided to come over and talk. Maybe find a way to just stop all this non sense. He needed to find a way to make Ben no suspect something was going on. To do that he needed to speak with Eden first. Jett had called Ben and found out he was out for now. Which gave Jett the perfect time to go speak with Eden. Little did Jett know this was a mistake.

Jett got to Eden and Ben's house and let himself in. The door was unlocked and he knew it was okay to not knock or ring the door bell. Eden and Ben would let them selves in at Jett and Izzy's house. Its how their friendship worked. Jett immediately started to look for Eden. He didn't even think to call out her name.

As he got closer to his destination Jett heard noises coming from just up ahead. he wondered if Ben had brought the woman he was with home with him. Which was not good, but what could Jett do. As jett walked into the area he saw Eden on top of some man topless. jett was shocked.

"Eden! Don't let me interrupt." It was suppose to come out playful, but instead came out hurtful and a bit mean. Sure Jett knew about Eden and say Cole, but not this guy, and he had never seen it before. It actually kind of hurt. Not sure why, but it did. Jett walked out of the room shaking his head turning back toward the door to leave.

[Grayson Shepherd]

[OOC: Because Gray is high tailing outta there, I'ma leave you two with a short reply Don't hate me!]

Gray wasn't buzzed enough to not hear a voice that wasn't Edens nor his and from the sound of it, the person doing the talking was not all too thrilled. He pulled away from Eden and turned to see Jett Chen about to walk away. "Whoa...uh..." he managed to set Eden straight in the hot tub before climbing out, gathering his clothes from the chair and walking past Jett. He wasn't going to try and suffer the wrath of a jock. He didn't even realise Eden even knew a jock.

Without even bothering to apologise to Jett, Gray left the house to go home, having sobered up the moment he heard the hurt in the guy's voice. It could only mean one thing if a bro sounded hurt seeing a girl with another bro. And Gray knew that feeling. He didn't like being the cause of that feeling. No way no how.

[Wrap for Gray y'all!]
