Sterling’s POV:

I laughed and made my way over to her. After a kiss to her cheek, I changed into the rest of my clothes and laid down next to her.

“So, beautiful, what should we do today?” I asked, looking over her slowly, just reminding myself of what I had. The woman really was something, that was for sure…

Eden's POV:

I shivered when I felt his gaze on me, looking over me slowly. Goodness, that man knew how to get to me. He knew what effect his eyes had on me.

"I… need to shower," I stammered, pulling myself off of the bed. "Um, Sterling, we did go grocery shopping this week, right? We bought everything we needed?"

Sterling’s POV:

“Hm… I think so. There wasn’t anything you needed, right? I could run out and grab stuff while you’re in the shower,” I offered, sitting up and watching her with a carefully guarded expression. “There were a few things I needed to grab, anyway.”

Eden's POV:

I was thinking yesterday about doing something today. We would have just lazed around, so it was better to do something precious than just waste time.

I reached over to the drawer and pulled out a list of a lot of things I needed, and handed them to Sterling sheepishly.

"I need these," I grinned at him. "Sorry for the short notice. I decided this literally yesterday. Since these are for me, you can have my card."

Sterling’s POV:

I let out a long whistle as I saw the list, then looked up at Eden. “What’s all this for, babe?” I asked, glancing between it and her curiously.

Eden’s POV:

“I was thinking yesterday, and I thought it would be nice to volunteer at an orphanage,” I replied softly, yet excitedly at the same time. “I already talked to the managers about it, and they want us there by six pm. I was also thinking of inviting the others.”

I wasn’t very good with kids, but I thought it was a nice experience. I also thought about it because of my upcoming niece or nephew. I needed some experience to get along with the baby.

Callie can we do the jealousy thing? Not it)

(All right~ We don't need to skip much. We can just make them walk around and stuff, and Gray goes to get something? and she gets flirted with.)

Alright)

Gray's POV:

"Shit, wait," I stopped, feeling my pocket. "Damn, I think I left my phone back in Amanda's office."

I wanted to slap myself but took a deep breath to calm myself down.

"I'll be right back, okay?" I said to Violeta before running off. I was so glad I remembered it, and not later on.

I gave an amused smile and watched him go, inhaling deeply to regain the breath he’d so easily stolen just minutes ago.

Running a hand through my messy hair, I slipped an elastic band off my wrist to tie it back into a low bun to keep it out of my face. Suddenly, a heavy hand landed on my shoulder from behind. I whirled around, startled, only for my eyes to clash with the steel-blue ones of a tall, clearly older student with short, dark hair.

“Can I—Can I help you?” I flinched back from him, but he took a step closer.
“What’s a pretty girl like you doing all alone?~”

Gray’s POV:

After nearly getting scolded by Amanda, I ran out of the bakery, trying to get to Violeta as quickly as possible.

I did, but saw exactly what I didn’t want to see. A guy had a hand on her shoulder, and she looked uncomfortable. I gritted my teeth.

“Do we have a problem here?” I hissed out through clenched teeth, trying to keep control of the anger I was feeling. How dare he try to touch my girlfriend? Make her uncomfortable?

The older guy raised an eyebrow at Gray, before turning back to me and tugging me towards his body. I jerked away, but his grip was like iron.

Gray’s POV:

I’ve been furious plenty of times before, but this was definitely in the top five. I wanted nothing more than to throw my fist in his face, but I didn’t want to accidentally hurt Violeta.

“Let my girlfriend go,” my voice was shaking with fury, fists clenched until they turned white. “And I promise you, you’ll end up leaving with your limbs attached to you.”

The guy gave Gray one long look, and finally released me. “What’s your name?” I stumbled backwards and into Hray, heart pounding. “C’mon, sweetheart, what’s your name?”

Gray’s POV:

I caught Violeta, holding her tightly, lightly touching her cheek.

“Are you okay?” I asked her softly, although I was burning with fury.

The stranger sneered and muttered something under his breath before turning on his heel and walking away.

I nodded, exhaling slowly. “Yeah, I’m fine..”

Eden’s POV:

“I was thinking yesterday, and I thought it would be nice to volunteer at an orphanage,” I replied softly, yet excitedly at the same time. “I already talked to the managers about it, and they want us there by six pm. I was also thinking of inviting the others.”

I wasn’t very good with kids, but I thought it was a nice experience. I also thought about it because of my upcoming niece or nephew. I needed some experience to get along with the baby.

Sterling’s POV:

My amused smile softened as I stood up and wrapped my arms around Eden. I kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there.

“You’re amazing, Eden. Really. That’s a great idea,” I murmured against her before kissing her again. “I’ll go get this stuff and make sure I’m home before six.”

Gray’s POV:

I glared jokes in the back of the arsehole, tempted to draw my fist and beat the life out of him. But I couldn’t fight, so I didn’t want to resort to that.

I knew what he looked like, so all I needed was a little background information and I could bring him down.

I looked back at Violeta, dipped my head down and claimed her lips, fury still rolling off of me.

Eden’s POV:

I leaned into his embrace, sighing softly. He was proud of me. I loved it. I wanted him to be proud of me all the time.

“What if… I go with you?” I asked, tilting my head. “We could get the presents from them together, and it’ll be quicker. It’ll give us some time to wrap them up, too. And I can call Gray to order those desserts he got for the party. I’m sorry, I should have planned ahead, but I like to jump at the chance.”

I succumbed to the kiss, to him, but my heart wasn’t in it. Being flirted with hadn’t been some major traumatic event, but it’d been enough to make me uncomfortable, especially since the guy looked to be at least a few years older.
