Alyssa's POV:

I wake up and I grab my phone, answering the call which stopped the vibrating.

"Hello?"

"Morning beautiful. You have plans tonight with Peyton?" Grayson asks and I can hear his smile.

"No, I don't. What were you thinking of doing?" I laugh as I head to the bathroom.

"Maybe dinner? Or we can stay in? Whatever you feel like."

"How about you surprise me? Then set a time and I'll be ready by then." I laugh as I brush my teeth. I hear him laugh on the other side of the phone and I smile.

I spit out the tooth paste and head to my closet to get ready for the rest of the day.

"Well then, that sounds like a good idea. I'll get back to you on that later, okay?" He says.

"I'll be at work if you need me, alright?" I smile, pulling out my clothes and I roll my eyes, knowing I have to go to work.

"Alright. I love you." He says and I laugh.

"I love you too." I smile. He hangs up and I get dressed for work.

I get out of my room and see Peyton in the kitchen.

"Ready?" I ask and she nods.

*at food4you*

I grab the empty food trays from the table and take them to the kitchen into the sink.

I come back out and start to clean the table. I feel someone start to walk over to me and I continue to look down, cleaning the table.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and a sense of relief washes over me.

Grayson.

I turn around and I smile. I don't realize until I look at his face for a moment, but he's pissed.

"Hey babe, what's wrong?" I say as I put my hand on his cheek.

He removes my hand and he breathes heavy.

"What happened on New Year's Eve." He asks.

I gulp and he tilts my chin up.

"What. Happened." He asks again.

"Gray, it was an in the moment thing and-"

"ALYSSA, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE." He whisper yells.

"I know that and it's not going to happen ever again. I promise. I love you. How'd you even find out?"

"Ethan was on the phone with Peyton while she was on her break and I came here. I know she wouldn't say anything because she's your best friend so I came to find the truth. Promise it's not going to happen again." He says with his teeth clenched.

I put my hand on his cheek and caress it. He closes his eyes and tries not to smile.

"I love you. It won't happen again." I smile and he laughs, giving me a kiss.

"I'll see you later, okay? Sorry for my intrusion at your work. You know, I shouldn't be forgiving you this easily." He gives me another kiss.

"I know." I sigh and he leaves after giving me another kiss.

I finish cleaning the table and head to the back bathroom to wash my hands. Once I do, I head back to the kitchen to clock out for lunch.

As I do this, I receive a notification and take my phone out of my pocket. I open it and see Grayson texted me.
