kiara - saturday morning

3 months later

  i wake up to the light snoring of grayson next to me. i quietly giggle as i roll over and thread my fingers through his hair. he stirs and tries to move away but i pull his naked body back to mine.

  "why do you have to wake me up?" he groans.

  i whine and pull my fingers out of his hair, watching him instead. his hand pats around the area on the bed where my hands are until he finds one of them. he snatches it up and plops it back down in his fluffy hair.

  i laugh as i rake my hands through his dark brown locks. "so now you want me to play with your hair?"

  he chuckles back. "actually i want to take you somewhere, so get dressed."

  i stand up out of his bed as he watches my bare body walk across his room. i walk over to the pile of my clothes on the floor and pull my red lace underwear up my shaven legs.

  i put my bra on next and then pull my cropped t-shirt over my head. i slide my leggings up my legs and walk over to grayson's bed again to sit.

  he stands up and walks into his bathroom to get ready. i wait for a while and when he comes back out he holds his hand out for me to take.

i grab on and he pulls me into the hallway and towards the front door. we walk out together and he quick to open my passenger door for me.

my cheeks heat up. "thank you."

he only nods his head and shuts my door before walking to his side. he gets in and soon we're driving down the two way street, going somewhere i've never been.

his hand rest on top of my hand that is placed is on mid thigh. i smile down at it.

  lately grayson and i have grown closer than ever; everything just seems so right with him. as for jacob and i, well, i haven't spoken to him since that night.

  he's been over to my house a few times for dinner since my parents invited him. i tried telling my parents about what he did but they blew me off, disregarding every word i said. 

  the car stops and grayson immediately places his big hand over my eyes. "don't look, okay?"

  i laugh but nod my head. "you're not killing me in the woods, are you?"

  "i'm not telling," he chuckles lowly keeping his hands on my eyes.

  he leads me through some brush as the leaves crunch beneath my feet. he stops me and i can hear the light sound of water trickling.

  "grayson," i mumble wanting his hands off my face.

  "okay open your eyes," he says taking his hands away.

  i blink my eyes open and stand there in awe. a narrow creek runs through the glinting woods. the leaves almost all have fallen except for a few trees.

  "grayson, it's beautiful," i say, examining  every little detail.

  he smirks and i'm quick to catch on.

  "don't say it," i start right as he begins with, "not as beautiful as you."

  i roll my eyes, feeling my cheeks heat up anyway. he smiles at me. "i mean it though, you're gorgeous."

  i place my hands on his shoulders and stand on my tippy toes to kiss him.

  he sighs and looks down at me while scanning my face over. "kiara, i have to tell you something."

  my eyebrows knit together and a worried expression crosses my face. "what's wrong?"

  "nothing, just, um, oh my god," he keeps stuttering and it kinda worrying me but it's also a little cute.

  "i, uh, i think i'm falling in love with you," he finishes causing a deep breath to roll past his lips.

  i stare at him in disbelief.

  he seems a little confused that i'm not saying anything back, but in reality i'm screaming on the inside. he grabs my hand.

  "say something," he nervously laughs.

  i can't form words so instead i just kiss him; long and hard.

  and once we break away he smiles again. "so i'm hoping that means you feel the same way?"

i nod my head. "grayson, i've never felt this way about someone, so that should tell you something."

he grins from ear to ear and grabs my hand pulling me to the ground with him. we both sit like that for what seems like years but in reality it's only minutes.

  in reality this thing grayson and i have going on could never happen.

  it doesn't work like that when you get yourself involved with me, kiara pelton.

  and the reality of this life i'm living is that i will be forever trapped; there is no getting out of it.

  so i guess i just have to do the unthinkable.

a/n: just wanted to clarify that if i said it anywhere else, this story is based in new jersey....i'm too lazy to go back and check if i made the setting california or nj but i need it to be nj bc of the plot of the next book so yeah bye love youuu
