Gregory x cassie In love with my one and only best friend

Chapter 14 gregoys jacket

As Cassie walked with Gregory, tightly holding onto his arm, she couldn't shake off the lingering anger from her encounter with Sam.

Gregory: What's wrong, Cass?
Cassie: That person mentioned my dad.
Gregory: How was your dad?
Cassie: I don't know; he died when I was 5.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Gregory instinctively hugged her, offering comfort.

Cassie: Thanks.
Gregory: That's what friends are for, Cass.

Feeling the chill, Cassie shivered and crossed her arms. Without hesitation, Gregory removed his jacket and placed it on her.

Gregory: Better, Cass?
Cassie: Yes, of course.

Grateful, she smiled and twirled around in happiness.

Gregory: Lol, you're just like a little kid.
Cassie: Sorry.
Gregory: Don't be; it's cute.

As they reached her place, Cassie wanted to return the jacket.

Cassie: Thank you, Gregory. Here, let me give it to you.
Gregory: It's okay; give it to me tomorrow. Besides, my mom is making Zuppa Toscana; it's my favorite.

Cassie expressed her gratitude by kissing his cheek, leaving Gregory speechless. As she left, she couldn't resist running up to her room, savoring the scent of the jacket.

Cassie: I love you so much and your cute smell.

In her excitement, she accidentally tossed the jacket out of the window.

Cassie: Oh, no.

Chasing it outside, the jacket landed in the mud near train tracks. Ignoring the danger, Cassie pursued it, narrowly escaping a passing freight train.

Cassie: Shit.

After retrieving the jacket, she rushed home, washed, and dried it before sleeping with it. The next morning, she handed the clean jacket to Gregory.

Gregory: Hey, Cassie, oh, my jacket. Thank you.

Cassie: You're welcome. I washed it and cleaned it.
Gregory: You shouldn't have.
Cassie: I just wanted to return the favor.

They walked into school together, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
