It was such a nice day in LA that I actually wanted to go out for a run. I normally would work out inside because it was so hot outside. I guess you could say I was used to the cold but wanted to change. I pulled my hair back as I made my way downstairs. I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my phone and headphones. I made my way outside making sure my apartment was a lock before turning on my music. I started jogging down the sidewalk making my way to the park. It was good to get out and get some fresh air. I started making laps on the trails, just minding my own business. I finally stopped and looked out towards the lake.
"Nice view isn't it," someone said.
"Yea it is" I nodded as I looked towards where the voice was coming from.
"I come here all the time, get away from the city scene" he admitted.
"It's nice and peaceful," I said.
"I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself. I'm Grayson" he said.
"I'm y/n," I said.
"It's nice to meet you" he smiled.
"You too" I nodded.
I walked further up the trail and started going off course. He followed me into the woods, grabbing my arm leading me down the hill. Once we were at the bottom of the hill he let me go, I followed him down to the water. I placed my bag down by the tree, slipping my shoes off. Walking down to the shore allowing the water to flow against my feet.
"I should go," he said.
"Oh yeah sure," I looked back towards him.
"But I don't want too," he said as he walked towards me.
"Something is pulling us together and I can't explain it," I said.
"I don't want to explain it, I just want to enjoy it," he said.
"Then enjoy it," I said as I leaned down and splashed him with water.
He was shocked at first but he smiled as he leaned down splashing water. I laughed as I ran from him, he ran after me grabbing my arm. Pulling me towards him I rested my hand against his chest as I looked up at him. He rested his hand against my cheek, brushing his thumb against my skin. I slightly pulled away but not from his touch, I bite my lip as I looked back at him. He pulled me closer to him gripping my hip as I gazed into his eyes. I leaned in towards him moving my body closer to his. He leaned in towards me brushing his lips against mine slightly. I leaned into him slowly kissing him as we were interrupted.
"This is a public place for kids" someone yelled.
"We aren't doing anything wrong," Gray said as he turned his attention to the guy.
"Sorry," I said as I rushed to get my bag and slip my shoes back on.
"Wait," Grayson said as he rushed after me.
I finally made it back onto the trail and Grayson was right behind me. He grabbed my arm pulling me towards him. I pulled away from him as I looked up at him.
"Please don't leave," he said.
"I should, maybe we can hang out again?" I asked.
"I would love that," he said as he handed me his phone.
I took his phone and put my number in his phone before making my way back to the park. I knew he was behind me because that was the only way off the trail. We parted ways and I made my way back to the apartment. I went upstairs and started the shower. I allowed the water to heat up before getting into the shower. By the time I got out of the shower, I had a text from Grayson. He wanted to meet up later tonight at some restaurant. He made sure to imply that I enter the restaurant through the back door. I placed my phone back on the sink as I wrapped a towel around me. Now I had to decide what to wear but not look like I'm trying too hard. I put a few curls in my hair, did a little bit of makeup. Once I was finished with my makeup I went into my closet. I picked out a pair of jeans that fit me perfectly, and a crop top. I slipped on a pair of shoes and made my way out of my apartment. Unfortunately, it wasn't within walking distance so I had to get into my car. I finally made my way to the address that he sent me, I made sure to park around back. I saw him standing in the doorway as I pulled up. He smiled as he saw me, making his way to my car. He opened my door and offered his hand. I grabbed his hand and got out of the car.
