Chapter 12

Sleep never felt so good.

Grayson's lips were on my mind all night and even made an appearance in my dreams. I could have spent the entire night kissing him. Fortunately for me, I had dinner plans with him so I didn't have to wait too long before savoring him again.

I took my time getting ready for work. I didn't have any pressing business to tend to, so after showering I ate a hearty breakfast, grabbed my notebook, and went down to the park near my townhouse. I spent the next hour writing and people watching. I had so much to get off my chest and onto paper. Just when I had resigned myself to a single life, making sure to avoid any more unnecessary loss, Grayson came into my life. I tried to keep him away, but the mutual attraction between us was definitely stronger than my will power and I couldn't be happier with where my life stood.

Tearing myself away from my thoughts, I finally closed my notebook and made my way to my Jeep. I had to dodge a few skateboarders who haphazardly skated by, doing tricks while ignoring pedestrians. Normally, they would have been met with obscenities and my middle finger, but today, all I could do was smile and laugh it off.

When I walked into the office, Miranda and Sean were sitting at her desk, laughing at something on the computer screen. They looked up at me with curiosity on their faces as I strolled in with an uncharacteristic smile on my own. I gave a quick wave and retreated to my office. I powered up my computer and was surprisingly relieved that I didn't have much work waiting for me. There were a few proofs to work on and send off, but other than that my day was relatively free.

Sean knocked on my door and walked in, holding an iced coffee from Ada's. I eyed it and immediately felt my lips stretch into a coy smile. He sat the cup down on my desk and took a seat in my empty chair.

"I stopped by your boyfriend's shop this morning. He asked me to bring this to you."

I snatched the drink and took a long sip. It was an iced vanilla frap. Sean eyed me curiously as I smiled again at the thought of why he'd sent this particular drink to me.

"Thanks, Sean. Grayson isn't my boyfriend, though." I watched as he arched one eyebrow, likely doubting my claims.

"You may not have a title, but you're definitely an item. I hung out with you two yesterday, remember?"

"Yes I remember."

"Well, I think I know a couple when I see one."

"Is my dear friend living in denial again?" Miranda asked as she strolled into my office. "I don't know why you haven't made Grayson your boyfriend already. He's definitely head over heels for you."

I rolled my eyes and threw my hair up into a messy ponytail.

"I'm taking my time, Miranda. I don't need any more heartache, ya know?"

"There is such a thing as taking your time and then there is moving at the speed of a snail.
