There was a moment of silence as she digested his bold words, before she finally turned to him with a small grin."Are things going to be weird between us now?" She finally giggled.
Stephen broke out in a laugh, "Any more weird than the last week?"
"Good point," laughed Abby. "Well, as long as it"s out in the open, let"s just go back to being friends, okay? Is that fair?"
"Sounds pretty fair to me," replied Stephen.
"Okay... friend," Abby replied with emphasis, before turning to walk away. "I"m going to get back to my break. I"ll talk to you later?"
"Sounds good. I"ll see you later, Abbs."
"Bye Stephen."
Just like that, she began to walk in the opposite direction, heading towards their break room. In any other lifetime, he would have been kicking himself for turning down Abby Cutler. To think, of all people, Abby Cutler now had changed her mind, and wanted to date him. It was so far-fetched to possibly be real life. And he had turned her down. She had been the object of his fantasies for years, and he turned down Abby Cutler?
Yet even as his mind went over it, all he could see was one face. One face, with piercing blue eyes, and light brown hair, and a mischievous smile s.h.i.+ning through. Grace was all that mattered. A total testament to how much his life had changed in only a week. It was only because of her that he had grown so much in just a short period of time. It was only because of Grace that he felt, for the first time, his life had meaning.
Stephen rounded the corner to go back out into the store, but was nearly tackled by Grace as she first lunged into his arms, making him stumble back against the wall, before jumping up and wrapping her legs around him. Her lips descended upon his in quick succession, giving him the kind of kiss that made him instantly hard.
When she finally pulled away a whole minute later, she had a look of l.u.s.tful desire piercing her blue gaze. "I love you, Stephen," she whispered, breathlessly.
"I love you, too," chuckled Stephen. "What was that for?"
"Don"t be mad," said Grace, casting her eyes down in a shy manner. "But I was spying on you."
"Spying on me? Just now?"

Grace nodded.
"With Abby?"
She nodded once more. "I was watching the entire conversation. It only piqued my interest once I saw her go back towards the same doors that you did only a moment later. I heard the entire conversation."
"So is that why you are so happy right now?"
Grace bit her lip and nodded playfully.
