"I can't believe you just did that," I barely whisper at Grayson who stands in front of me, completely unaffected.

"Believe what?" He asks, smirking a little.

"Bought me flowers, and chocolates for an apology," I say, still shocked that he would even do that. Last time I checked he doesn't have a job, and I don't want him wasting his money on me.

Grayson's smirk grows wider and my eyes narrow, "That's not the only thing I've bought you," He mumbles.

"What?!" My mouth drops, "What is it? It isn't expensive is it?"

He doesn't say anything, which makes me nervous. Usually when he doesn't answer a question I answer, it means he's done the exact thing I didn't want him to do.

I sigh, throwing my head back, "What is it?"

"Well that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it Bee?" Graybear whispers, his smirk never falling as he talks to me.

Rolling my eyes I groan, "You'll find out tomorrow, it's no biggie."

No biggie my ass, he's practically told me he's bought me something and in my eyes that's like someone telling me I have a present and then can't open it for another twenty-four hours.

It's hell.

He grins, trying not to laugh as Miles and Reece make their ways over to us. Miles's face is still set in a harsh glare as I try not to laugh at the thought of him falling on his ass again.

The karts creak as the wind starts to get harsher, the ferris wheel looking as thought it's about to fall apart.

The thought of seeing all of them climb the railings and jump off ledges creates goosebumps over my body, weirdly scaring me.

"Stop that," Grayson says, taking several steps towards me, placing a hand on my waist.

"Your scaring yourself, I can see the goosebumps on your neck," He says, looking down at me.

I immediately lift up my jacket, trying to cover my cold skin. Hiding the the goosebumps, that are apparently trailing my neck.

I make a pfft noise, "No I'm not, it's just the cold."

"Mhm, I'm sure," He says in one breath.

He leans down, pressing his lips to my temple gently as though it was a normal thing for him to do.

Wrapping his arms around my body, he pulls me flush into him engulfing me in his body heat.

Which is surprisingly warm.

Butterflies flutter in my stomach as he leaves his lips on my temple, lingering the kiss for a second before pulling away.

His lips are so soft.

A light blush covers his cheeks and tip of his ears, and I wouldn't be surprised if my cheeks looked the same.

His arms are still wrapped around my waist as we turn to Ben who's currently whining about something.

"I wanna go back to the fair!"
