"Your back hurts from using your arms?" he questions, quite unimpressed.

"Now my head hurts from your attitude," I scrunch my nose at him.

"Bullshit," he chides.

"Oh gosh, there goes my leg starting to hurt from you not believing me," I grab my leg.

He rolls his eyes at me.

"Grey! My hip hurts now!" I grab my hip. Here in a minute I'm just gonna fall out on the floor.

He places his foot on the side of the box, pushing it and it glides across the carpet as if it weighs nothing.

Someone does not skip leg day.

"Now was that so hard?" I smile.

The moment I begin putting the new books away, Grey follows me around like a lost puppy. He doesn't help, he just follows me.

I smacked his butt a couple of times, he smacks mine one hurtful time. We made out once near the very back. He asked if I'm hungry nine-hundred times. Grey'skindlooks sort of scared away two customers, and I crop dusted a random aisle once.

I internally told him I loved him eight times.

"We should go on a date," I gasp at the idea. We've never gone on anofficialdate before.

"We've never gone on a date," I add.

"Yes we have," he argues.

"When?"

"Every time we're together," he shrugs one shoulder.

"Thank you for telling me thatnow,"I say.

His finger trails across my collarbone and under my shirt just a bit. His other hand travels up the side of my skirt.

He leans down to me and kisses under my ear. His hand gets extra close to mygoody.

"Grey," I warn breathlessly. I grip the tattooed arm that's close to between my legs.Woah baby.

"I've got you," he bites my neck gently and then he slowly moves his hand away. I pull away from him and prop myself up against a bookcase, gathering myself.

"You're beautiful," he says out of nowhere. He's getting better than me at this relationship thing.

He thinks I'm beautiful?

He leans down to me and kisses my lips softly. He pulls away and licks his lips.

He leans back down and me a second time, a little harsher.

I wrap my arms around his torso and press my forehead against his chest.

"You're just so cute," I tease and then gasp loudly when his hand goes back down and he cups in between my legs.

"Don't tease," He hums, holding me close to him.

Oh gosh.
