"Wait wait wait. So he really did all of that?" Malia asked as the two of us sat in my car at a lake enjoying the birds flying around and the crisp autumn leaves covering the ground.

"Yeah. We had cute matching costumes.... um carved pumpkins, then he asked me to be his girlfriend, he brought me to his room and gave me a big teddy bear and this necklace." I shrugged, the same feelings from that night resurfacing, making me smile.

"Damn it only took you guys a year!" She yelled at me, making me giggle at how badly she wanted us to be together. "I've told you to give him a chance for so long, and you completely ignored me."

"Well I had good reason for that." I defended and she rolled her eyes at me, smirking.

"Even after you guys were hooking up, it's been almost a year to figure out that you actually love him, and for him to pull his head out of his ass." She chuckled, making that same pit in my stomach form when he told me all of that was just a dare.

"A part of me feels at blame here, but I know I wasn't the one who fucked this up."

"But it's not fucked up anymore. You guys are happy and that's what matters. You've both grown so much and that's honestly the best thing I could've hoped for." She leaned over and hugged me, so I smiled and hugged her back.

I felt my phone vibrating on my lap, then the FaceTime ringtone started going off, so the two of us separated from the hug and I answered the phone, Grayson's face immediately covering the screen.

"Baby holy shit you look as gorgeous as ever." I chuckled and shook my head at how big his smile is, disbelief filled my head on how this guy could possibly be mine.

"Hi Babe." I watched his smile grow even more, making me blush.

"Wow I can't get over how beautiful you are, I might just have to give you some good loving tonight." I quickly looked over at Malia who sat there in shock that he just said that.

"Grayson!" She laughed loudly, making me laugh too. "Calm yourself oh my god!"

"What the hell you didn't tell me you were with anyone!" He covered his face in embarrassment making me smile at how cute he was being.

"I was literally just about to tell you before you said that!" Malia and I both laughed at him and I watched him pull his hood over his head and pull the strings so I couldn't see his face.

"You know, I actually don't care that Malia heard because we always have to hear about when or where or how her and Gavin had sex." He uncovered his face and then winked at me, making me blush again.

"Sorry I tell my best friend about it, you're just always with her." Malia defended making me smile and the two of them bickering like siblings.

"Okay well besides the point, Babe do you want to have a cute little date night tonight? I bought some stuff I think you'll like and so I want to chill and relax with my beautiful girlfriend tonight."

"Yeah, Babe that sounds perfect. Are we hanging out in your dorm or mine?"

"Mine, Noah is never here on the weekends." I watched Grayson jump out of his bed and walk to the bathroom, muting himself for a second while he went to the bathroom, then unmuting when he was done.
