***Harper's POV***
The cold wind tickled my back as I walked back from college.
It's the dead of winter, in England, of course I chose not to wear a coat, I think while protecting my exposed belly from the wind with my arm.
"Harper!", the sound of my name being called fills my ears, followed by a gentle but somehow firm grip on my shoulder.
"Oh hey, Grayson.", I say shuddering from the bitter weather.
Grayson is my brothers best friend. You could say me and him have a bit of a past.
We kissed once but it led to nothing.
I'm just his best friends younger sister.
"What now?", I say holding back my laughter at the sight of his facial expression.
"Your going to get a cold dressed like that", Grayson says, looking at me up and down. I feel his eyes taking extra care over my midriff.
Feeling embarrassed I tug at my cropped jumper, trying to cover my slightly chubby belly that has recently made itself more pronounced over the last months. Exam season has been taking its toll and in turn it's resulting in comforting eating more than normal.
"How was classes?", Grayson asks.
"As good as it can get. My exams are stressing me out", I sigh.
"Let's go for some food, it will warm you up.", He says.
He knows the way to my heart is through food.
I chuckle and agree.
"Hmm Chinese or Pizza?", he says with a cute quizzed look on his face.
"You know that's not even a valid question.", I say while crossing my arms.
"Alright, Chinese it is", Grayson chuckles.
"Here take this dummy", he says while putting his jacket over my shoulders.
"My car is parked near the Chinese buffet place, we can walk up", he suggests.
We sit at a table at the back of the restaurant where there is no one near us.
"I'll go get us some food", he says.
Grayson finally arrives what feels like an hour later with two huge plates full of rice, chicken balls, noodles, soups and so so much more.
My eyes widen at the sight of it all in front of me.
"Not as hungry as you thought?", He jokes.
Before he can even finish his sentence I'm tucking into my meal for about 3 people.
We both get about 15 minutes into our meal and start slowing down a little. I look over at Grayson who has finished his meal and is
Sluggishly laying back into his chair.
"Hey you okay?", I say putting down my knife and fork.
*hic* "I'm okay, you finish up", he says quietly.
