We do our usual routine of him brushing my hair with his fingers as he tells me a story. I lie with my back up against him and his arms tightly engulfed around me.
He plants soft kisses on the back of my neck and head as I slowly drift off to sleep...
Grayson and I hold hands as we walk through the hallway to the science classroom. We were all getting a 'surprise' experiment, and I hated science, so I was scared.
I gag as we step in. The smell of something dead hits us like a brick. Emily and James stand at their two-seated table, plugging their noses. Grayson and I sit at the table next to them, covering our noses as well.
The teacher walks in, and I suspect some evil in his smile.
"Today," He says, "We will be dissecting frogs."
There are many things I can not handle. Horses, heights, but especially, blood and gross body things. Grayson laughs at my immediate discomfort, and the look of fear on my face.
I slowly raise my hand. "May I keep a trash can by my seat?"
"You will be fine, Ms.Faith. Or, should I say, Mrs.Allen."
"First of all, I will not be fine. Second of all, Grayson and I are not married, even though he apparently has our whole freaking future planned out."
"Again, you will be fine. Unless you want frog guts on your clothes, grab an apron from the back of the room."
"I'll get yours." Grayson whispers. He stands, retrieves two white (but dirty from 10 years of usage) aprons, and we both put one on.
"What about gloves?" I ask.
"You will only be using a tooth pick, no gloves. I want this to be a challenge." Mr.Meanie responds.
"Oh, goodness." I bury my face in my hands, hating life at the moment. Grayson picks my head up, plants a kiss on my cheek, then hands me a tooth pick. I give him a death glare, then we get to work.
To torture me, Grayson makes me open the poor little frog. I look away as I stick the sharp pick into the body and slowly slice it open. I look back and gag.
Grayson does most of the work, taking out the heart and all of that snazzy stuff. Grayson was laughing at the 'boy insides' of the frog.
Once class was finally over, I quickly rushed out of the room and took a nice, huge breath. I felt Grayson's arms wrap around me from behind, and I rested my head on his muscles.

He laced a kiss on the back of my ear. "May I take you to dinner tonight?"
"Hmm... where?"
"My parents are at a work conference in Miami again. It'll be just us, the television, and some Chik Fil A. We can chill, and possibly kiss a lot, in our pajamas."
