Chapter 4: The Playground

Your POV:

After school ended I stayed in the room to clean things up and hang up some things for Valentine's Day since it was right around the corner.

I always like to decorate the classroom for the holidays. It was always so cute to see the kids stroll in and be surprised with all the changes made to the room.

As I was decorating the bulletin board next to the white board I looked out the classroom window and saw a father and his child playing on the playground.

This wasn't all that strange people did it after school hours from time to time. I dropped the decorations and walked towards the window to get a closer look and sure enough it was Natalie and Grayson.

I stood there for a minute smiling at the fact that he spends so much time with Natalie. I realized if he were to notice me looking I'd look like an idiot.

Should I go out there? I stood there and thought about it for a minute. I walked towards the door in my classroom leading out to the playground and I took a deep breath and swung the door open.

The noise of the door opening caused Grayson to turn around while pushing Natalie on her swing and when he saw me I flashed him a smile and waved.

I walked up towards them and that's when Natalie realized it was me she giggled and waved at me as she swung back and forth on the swing.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"Natalie was bored so I brought her here and I uh kinda need your help so I was hoping you were here." Grayson said rubbing the back of his neck.

My heart started to speed up. He came here for me? "Help with what?" I asked nervously.

"Um I have plans for a special dinner later on this week you know since it's Valentine's Day and all and I uh need help finding a nice restaurant." He said smiling and focused on pushing Natalie.

"Well, there's one downtown that's pretty nice. It's called Ralph's or something like that." (Random name again) I said pushing my hair behind my ear.

He smiled "I'll look into that one" he said. I chuckled nervously.

Who was he taking out for Valentine's Day? Was I jealous? Of course I was. I thought Grayson was the best looking man I've ever seen and he's taking someone besides me out to dinner which sucks.

"So why are you here so late?" Grayson asked me breaking the silence as Natalie jumped off the swing and ran towards the slide.

"Oh I'm uh decorating the room for the kids. They love when I do it for the holidays." I said.

He chuckled a bit "Do you need any help? Any heavy lifting need to be done?" He said smirking. I laughed and said "no I think I can handle it."

Natalie came up to Grayson and grabbed onto his hand and said "daddy I'm hungry." He nodded and looked at me and said "I guess we have to go. Thanks for the help." He said with a smile as he picked Natalie up.

I smiled "you're welcome. See you guys tomorrow."

"Bye miss (y/l/n)!" Natalie yelled as I waved them goodbye.

I watched them leave and then returned to work.
