Sing it Again

Chapter 39

Grant's POV

While the two of us are walking through the park I keep glancing over at her "How did you get those scars on your stomach?" She looks up at me and gives me a confused look but she clears her throat "Those scars are from surgery I had to have my gall bladder removed and I missed a week of school because I couldn't move out of the recliner and the pain killers would put me to sleep, how did you know about those?" I reach up and scratch the back of my neck "I saw you yelling and fighting to get your shirt back and I was standing at the bedroom door when you were able to put it on." Great now that she knows she is probably think I'm some kind of weird freak who watches his girlfriend while she is in her bedroom getting dressed. I look at her "It was an accident I knocked but you didn't answer the door and I heard you yelling so I went in the house."

Mallory's POV

I didn't know if I should take it as a compliment or be a little freaked out that he was outside my room earlier it didn't make me mad or anything and he was being so cute and awkward right now that it was kind of hard to be mad at him. I reach over and grab his shoulders "Grant its fine I'm not mad at you." I watch as he takes a deep breath then exhales and I could tell he thought that conversation was going to go a lot different than it did. We both keep walking and he reaches over and holds my hand and I look down at my hand in his it was a feeling I haven't had in a long time but I liked the way our hands felt together I let out a sigh then glance over at Grant hoping that our relationship was going to work out and that we would be a big part of each other's future.

Grant's POV

I look over at her "Is this okay?" I nod down tour hands "Yeah its fine." I lick my lip to moisten it we haven't really been out for a few days and I wanted to see if she would go out with me tonight but I didn't know if she had plans already "Do you have plans tonight?" I watch as she bites her lip and thinks about it "Vanessa and I are going to watch Magic Mike together." I scoff and roll my eyes "I don't see what is so great about that movie anyway." "Channing Tatum as a stripper how could any movie get better than that plus every guy in that movie takes off their shirt and their abs oh their abs." Then she makes a shivering noise and I just role my eyes at her. "It isn't that great babe." "Aw come on warbler I bet if you practiced a bit you could be just as good as them." She wanted me to be like Channing Tatum and be a stripper I couldn't really picture myself doing that now but maybe one day I would do that for her just to surprise her. "There is a fair or a carnival like thing tonight would you like to go with me?" She starts thinking and I begin to think that she might turn me down just to watch a movie "I'll go with you but there are two conditions first." "What conditions?" "Number one you have to win me one of those huge animals and number two you have to eat a lot of greasy fair food with me." "I think I can deal with those conditions."

Mallory's POV

When we get to the fair that night and after we buy our tickets the first thing we do is ride the Ferris wheel and while we are up there the ride breaks down and we get stuck at the top where we have a good view, I look up at the night sky and look at the stars I look away from the sky and then over at Grant "Pretty great view up here right?" He looks at me "Yeah it is." After we get off the ride and walk around a little more we start eating we both get hot dogs and some fries to go with it and after this we go for the sweet stuff like cotton candy and deep fried Oreos. When the crowd starts thinning out we leave and go back to my house and he stops when he gets on the porch. "I guess I'll see you soon babe." "Tonight was a lot better than Magic Mike." "I had a good time too but I guess I better go home." As he goes to leave I grab his hand and he turns around and looks at me "You could stay here tonight if you want to." "I'd like that but first I want to do one thing before we go inside." This time instead of letting Grant make the first move I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him he kisses back then wraps his arms around my waist the next thing I know my porch light comes on and my door opens and I hear Kevin's voice coming through a bull horn yelling "Step away from the girl and put your hands in the air." When I hear Vanessa laughing behind him I groan and lay my head against Grant's chest.
