A Forever Type Of Deal

Chapter 11
Heera's pov

After we left the coffee shop,I decided to take him some place a favorite place of mine and just relax.I don't know if it's really a good idea but it seems like he needed an off day today and I also happened to need a break so a win is a win right or rather two birds one stone type of theory.
When we got to his car,I swallowed my fear and offered to drive us there to spend the day.
After around a 20 minutes drive we got to a lonely path that if you didn't look closely you'd miss it but I've been here a few times since mum left so I know my way around here pretty well.
We got to a clearing and started the hike up a small mountain,the view is nice here but its better up the mountain so up we go.
"Uuum Heera where are we going,"Miles asked from behind me.
'A little late to ask that don't you think,I laughed.
Considering you've been quiet all through so I might just be going to kill you,"
"Ooh plz as if you can,you can't even hurt a fly even you tried."he countered
'Don't be so sure Grays,looks are deceiving as far as I know.'
He rolls his eyes at me and continues to follow me up the trail.
"You know one day those eyes of yours will get stuck at the back of your head if you continue rolling them at me."
He stuck out his tongue at me and just laughed.
'Real mature Gray ,"
Soon we reached the top of the small mountain and at the side was a bit of a flat surface.
I usually just sit here and think.
The view here is amazing,when you look down there's a forest stretching across,then a bit far in the distance is the ocean.
Its so serene and peaceful.
You can here yourself think and it just relaxes me alot ,that's why I love coming here.
"Woah,I heard Miles chuckle from beside me admiring the view as I was.
'This place is beautiful Winters."
I just smiled cause he was right.
Words couldn't explain enough how pretty this place was.
I patted the space next to me as I signaled him to take a sit.
We just sat there not talking.
Pretty sure we both need the quiet space.
I felt him move close to me and wrap his arm around my shoulders
The butterflies started dancing in my stomach.
I'm trying to calm my heart which is racing from just a simple touch.
So maybe I am falling for Gray but I know it's wrong
I'm sure we're just friends and he would never feel that way about me
Maybe it's just because we've been spending alot of time together
Or maybe its because he's been giving me the attention I've been so badly craving these past few years.
Or maybe I'm just confused and I'm mixing admiration and liking someone.
I'm sure it's really nothing so prolly it'll just pass soon without me having to embarrass myself.
We just sat there staring into nothing and just felt the moment.
Pretty soon the sun started going down.
"Hey,we should take pictures ,
The sunset looks so.beautiful up here,look at all those colours,the orange and purple ,the background will be beautiful,"Miles said from where he was.
"Damn,that's the most I've heard you speak in one sentence since we met."I chuckled.
He ignored me and motioned for me to stand so he could take the pictures.
"Wait,you want to take pictures of the sunset or me."
'Uum,both I guess,.
I mean we're already here so why not work on our project while we're at it.
I.found myself getting conscious of how I looked.
I don't think I would look any good in the pictures.
Well,this is going to be embarrassing,I harshly swallowed.
I forced a smile and went to stand where he was pointing at.
"So, stretch out your hands like a bird and smile."
I did as he asked but I know he could tell something was wrong.
"Winters,is everything ok."
"Yeah I'm fine,I offered a smile.
He continues to take pictures while I just stood there trying to be as positive as I could be.
A few minutes later he was done and motioned for me .
"You know you're beautiful right?"he said once I was within arms reach.
I blushed and looked at the rock suddenly finding it interesting than looking up at Miles.
"I'm serious Heera,you're really pretty and I promise the pictures turned out just as beautiful so don't worry okey?"he said as he lifted my chin so I could look at his face.
I smiled back but didnt say anything.
It's not that I think I'm ugly but I'm also not that pretty.
So while I accepted the compliments believing them would be a problem.
I've always had a problem accepting compliments not really believing them.
In my mind they were just being polite so as not to hurt my feelings.
But I didn't want to voice my insecurities so I kept my mouth shut.
"Thanks Gray,"I offered instead.
