"Hey!" Grayson exclaims pulling out the chair in front of me.
"Hello Grayson" I say putting my book down.
"I told you to call me gray, the name 'Grayson' is too sophisticated" he says.
"Well 'gray' is too silly!" I argue back.
He makes a pouty face and crosses his arms over his chest.
His muscles are very visible.
I cough, "I think I'm getting sick" I say. I groan and slouch in my chair.
"Aw poor Thalia" He says. The way he said my name just rolls off his tongue effortlessly and I'm over here fan girling.
I roll my eyes as I look out the window.
The beautiful New York lights are mesmerizing.
So beautiful and stunning.
There is no word to describe how much I love New York.
The lights just make you feel so cozy and relaxed.
The snow is amazing as well.
Speaking of snow, it's supposed to snow this Saturday.
It's currently Friday, six pm.
"Thalia are you listening?" Grayson says while waving his hand in front of my face.
"W-What?" I say looking up at Grayson.
He chuckles. "doyouwanttohangoutthissaturday?" He questions.
The hell?
"What did you say?" I say raising an eyebrow.
"Let's hang out this Saturday" He says with a sigh.
I try thinking of excuses to make yet I already used them for when Grayson asked to do something with him before.
"Um- I- I'm not sure" I say looking down at my fingers.
All of a sudden his soft hazel eyes turn dark brown in a second.
"You never hang out with me!" He says practically yelling causing the whole cafe to look at us.
"Is there something wrong with me?!" He says getting angrier by the second.
"Hm?! What?!" He says yelling in my face.
What did I do?
"Say something!" He says while his fists clench.
I flinch from him hitting the table.
I place my hand on his shoulder. "Calm down gray" I say looking up to his dark eyes.
His eyes soften and turn hazel again.
"I- I'm-" He says stuttering.
"It's okay gray, let's go outside" I say patting his back.
He gets up as we walk out the door together.
"I'm sorry Thalia" He says looking down.
"I can't control myself sometimes and-" he tries to speak as his eyes water.
"gray,gray, it's okay, alright" I say shaking his shoulders a bit.
He bites his lip to try to stop crying.
"I just miss home" he barely let's out.
"I know, I know" I coo.
All of a sudden he engulfs me in a hug.
"Thank you lia" he whispers.
"Of course" I say still not hugging him back.
I'm still not used to all this.
"I'll hang out with you on Saturday" I mumble in his chest.
He let's go of me and takes my hands in his.
His warm hands holding my cold hands makes me blush.
"Really?!" He says with a huge smile.
"Yeah" I say with a little laugh.
"Do you want to go to my place or go sledding?" He asks.
Hearing that he wants me to go to his place makes me wonder what his place is like.
And why would he invite me to his place? It's only been like a week since we started hanging out.
He could be a murderer for all I know. But I never went sledding before.
"How about sledding?" He asks sense I didn't make up my mind.
"Uh yeah" I say still not sure.
"Cool! Do you want me to drop you off?"
"That'd be great" I say with a little smile.
