Gray’s POV:

I turned her over and hugged her, laughing.

“I’m sorry~” I wasn’t really, but I said it anyway. Kissing the tip of her nose, I shot her a smile. “How was your class?”

I sank readily into his embrace, grinning up at him like an absolute idiot.

"Class was fine. Couldn't stop thinking about you the whole time. How was yours?"

Gray’s POV:

My expression softened at her words and I responded by kissing her forehead softly.

“I missed you,” I murmured. “I couldn’t wait to see you again, but I think I got detention for spacing out. Again.”

Eden’s POV:

I smiled, leaning into him.

“The usual,” I murmured. “How was yours?)

(You want someone to flirt with Eden? XD)

(Lol. Do it. 😂)

Sterling’s POV:

“Hm… It was okay. Life’s much better with you here, though,” I declared, leaning down to press his lips to hers gently.

Gray’s POV:

My expression softened at her words and I responded by kissing her forehead softly.

“I missed you,” I murmured. “I couldn’t wait to see you again, but I think I got detention for spacing out. Again.”

"Aw.." I made a little pouty face, slipping my arms around him. "I don't want to get you in trouble…"

Gray’s POV:

I swear my heart did a flip at her look, and had I not been careful, my face would have shown it.

“Hey, if I get to think about you during class, I don’t mind,” I shrugged, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “If it’s for you, I don’t mind getting into trouble.”

Eden’s POV:

I smiled.

“I know,” I responded dramatically. “You need a cloud of rain to darken your day, don’t you?”

It was technically a ray of sunshine to brighten up your day, but I’d rearranged the words to fit myself.

I pulled away from him to intertwine our fingers together when a voice interrupted us.

“Hey, Eden,” I looked up to meet the owner of the voice. It was a kid in my science class. He had blue hair and grey eyes, and really, I didn’t know his name. I didn’t want to bother. “You were amazing during the speech. I was totally in awe!”

I have a mere nod of my head, not knowing what he wanted. If that was it, shouldn’t he be leaving?

“Actually, I was wondering something?” The guy said, giving an innocent smile. “My bros are throwing a party, and I was wondering if you wanted to come?” His eyes plain out ignored Sterling. Of course. “And you can bring whoever you want. You’ll have fun.”

Flushing lightly, I leaned my head into the palm of his hand. "Whatever you say….." I murmured, "Just be careful, 'kay? More detentions means less time… with me…."

Gray’s POV:

I cursed, realizing the truth behind her words.

“Shoot, I guess I do have to be careful,” I looked at her in the eyes. “But hey, if I ever step out of line, you’ll scold me, won’t you?”

I raised an eyebrow. "No I wouldn't, because you'd tease me and say that I look hot when I'm trying to be dominating."

Gray’s POV:

I pouted.

“Aw, but you would~” I shook my head, trying to fight off the smile on my lips. “You look hot to me no matter what. Unless you’re being adorable.”

I groaned loudly, touching my forehead to his chest. "I swear to god…. you must be trying to give me a heart attack.."

Gray’s POV:

“What? Of course not,” I frowned, trying to fight off a smile. “Why would I want to do something that’ll hurt you?”

"I don't know….. you'd probably offer to give me CPR in an attempt to revive me," I muttered, trying and failing to act exasperated with him.

Gray’s POV:

I smirked, tightening my hold on her.

“Now that’s a beginner’s flirting tricks,” I said, shaking my head with a sigh. “Why would I offer? I can kiss you anytime, anyway.”

I groaned a second time, sinking further into his very welcome embrace. "That's true…. You'd probably try and catch me by surprise. How are you so good at this? Do you study a flirting manual when I'm looking the other way?"

Gray’s POV:

I gasped.

“How did you know?” I widened my eyes dramatically. “Darn, I thought I was being sneaky!”

Eden’s POV:

I smiled.

“I know,” I responded dramatically. “You need a cloud of rain to darken your day, don’t you?”

It was technically a ray of sunshine to brighten up your day, but I’d rearranged the words to fit myself.

I pulled away from him to intertwine our fingers together when a voice interrupted us.

“Hey, Eden,” I looked up to meet the owner of the voice. It was a kid in my science class. He had blue hair and grey eyes, and really, I didn’t know his name. I didn’t want to bother. “You were amazing during the speech. I was totally in awe!”

I have a mere nod of my head, not knowing what he wanted. If that was it, shouldn’t he be leaving?

“Actually, I was wondering something?” The guy said, giving an innocent smile. “My bros are throwing a party, and I was wondering if you wanted to come?” His eyes plain out ignored Sterling. Of course. “And you can bring whoever you want. You’ll have fun.”

Sterling’s POV:

I narrowed my eyes at the guy and moved behind Eden to wrap my arms around her waist. It was obvious who I was to her, so where did this guy think he was going to get with her? Plus, I was sure the entire college had heard about Eden and I by now…

“Actually, we’re busy,” I answered for her, glaring at the guy.

Eden’s POV:

I felt a little alarmed at Sterling’s response, but more than that, I felt warm. I almost smiled, but I fought it off.

It wasn’t anything I wasn’t used to, though. The flirting, I mean. It happened all the time in high school. Before Sterling and I started going out, anyway. I hated it, because they’d all have one simple goal—to unravel me and see who I really was.

The guy furrowed his eyebrows at Sterling.

“I’m sure she can speak for herself,” he said in a snobbish manner, which made me want to claw his eyes out. “Why you guys have to be so controlling, I’m not sure.”

Gray’s POV:

I gasped.

“How did you know?” I widened my eyes dramatically. “Darn, I thought I was being sneaky!”

"Hilarious," I muttered. "But seriously, how are you so…. you know."

Gray’s POV:

I shrugged.

“It comes naturally,” I winked at her. “And takes lots of time to master.”

I sighed and gave in, looking shyly up at him through my lashes.
"Are you going to kiss me, or what?"

Gray’s POV:

I was going to die by the hands of this woman. She was just breathtakingly beautiful no matter what she did.

I answered her question by dipping my head, capturing her lips in mind with a soft and gentle kiss.

"Finally," I murmured, letting my eyes drift shut as I threaded my fingers through his soft hair, allowing the familiar sense of euphoria to overtake me.

Gray’s POV:

I felt at peace the second she raked her fingers through my hair and kissed me back. I pulled her closer, wrapping my arms around her tighter, exhilaration coursing through my veins at the feeling of her lips pressed against mine, moving along with them.

“Vy…” I murmured her nickname through the kiss, keeping myself in control in case I lost it.

"Gray…." I murmured back, a rush of adrenaline drowning out everything but the sound of my furiously hammering heart. I said it again, loving the way it fit in my mouth, the way it tasted on my tongue. "Gray…."
