Grant held onto my hand the entire car ride to the restaurant. It was actually kind of nice to be going on a fancy date. I had made sure to dress up and look beautiful for him, going with a green short sleeved dress that has a black sparkly belt around it and black pumps. Grant looked most handsome and he even gelled back his curls. When I met him at the front door he had presented me with a single rose and a kiss on the lips. Lucky for us my parents were out visiting some friends so being the girl I am, I dove back in for more. Grant had to pull me back and remind me that we'll be late for our dinner reservation if we continue.

We arrived at the restaurant a fancy looking place that I haven't been to yet. I know its fancy because when we arrived at the host stand the host had asked us for our coats.

I grabbed onto Grant's hand as we both followed the host. "This place is really fancy," I whispered in his ear.

He slightly moved his head to look at me. "You deserve to be treated to a fancy place."

"Your server will be with you momentarily," the host had said. "May I offer you some wine?"

Grant spoke up. "Some red wine will be great."

I waited for the host to leave to speak up. "I'm not twenty one yet though."

He walked over to me and held out the chair. "You are such a goody two-shoes."

I took a seat and let him push me in. "Oh hush," I teased. I waited for him to take his own seat. "So tell me more about your new job."

Our waiter arrived at that moment and poured us both a glass of wine. "I'll give you a couple of minutes to look over the menu."

Grant leaned forward and took both of my hands in his. "The job isn't mine just yet. They want me to come back in a few weeks so they could test me out and see how I do the first couple of days. If I impress them then the job is permanently mine."

"I'm so happy for you Grant," I exclaimed. I really am happy for him. He deserves this more than anything.

He gave me a chuckle before leaning forward to give me a kiss on the lips. "I have my good luck charm," he whispered. He leaned back and lifted up the wine glass. "Cheers?"

I smiled before lifting my own glass up and clinking it with his. "Cheers."

The rest of the dinner went extremely well. Our waiter came back to take our orders, Grant and I both went with steak. I asked questions about the new job offer, how many hours he'll be working and how much he'll get paid. He asked questions about college and my friends. I told him how much I loved catching up with them especially Karen. I mean she was my best friends for a long time. I told him about lunch yesterday...well I lied that I actually stayed for lunch. I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't all that happy Richard was at lunch and he shrugged it off for the time being. After we both finished our meal Grant had ordered a slice of toasted almond creme cake. We shared that and fed each other bites.

I found myself clinging to his arm the entire car ride home. I'm so confused about my feelings right now. I know I don't love Grant in a way that means forever but I love being his girlfriend.

"Kor I kinda need my arm back to get out of the car," he told me.

I looked over at him with a pout. "Mine," I whispered.

He leaned over to give me a kiss on the forehead. "Would you like it if I carried you into the house?"

"Like a princess?" I asked.

He kissed me again. "Just like a princess," he replied.

I let go of his arm and waited for him to open my side of the door. I held onto his neck as he lifted me out of the car. He smells so good right now.

"That tickles," Grant laughed.

I continued to nuzzle his neck.

"Do you want me to drop you?" he asked me. He pounded on the door before readjusting his hands so I wouldn't fall. "Hurry up and open the door!" he called out. The door opened and Grant tackled through. "I'm taking her to her room!" Grant called back as he walked up the steps.

I looked over his shoulders to see Ryan fake barfing. I rolled my eyes before nuzzling Grant's neck again.

He nearly threw me on the bed once we arrived in my room. I laid there with my hair sprawled out and my arms over my head. I kept my eyes on Grant who seemed to have trouble taking off his shoes. I giggled at the entertainment.

"Think this is funny?" he asked.

I nodded and continued to giggle.

After successfully taking his shoes off, he unbuckled his belt and threw it off to the side. I watched as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and he also casted that off to the side.

I suddenly grew nervous as he made his way over to me. What is he expecting? Sex? Because I am so not ready for that. My heart pounded as he sat on the bed, right by my feet.

He grabbed one of my legs and placed it on his lap. I could feel him unbuckle my pump strap before I felt my foot free from shoes. I wiggled my toes and Grant chuckled. He picked up my foot and gave it a kiss before taking the other leg and doing the same for that one.

Once he did that he turned to me and smiled. He launched himself forward and dropped on the bed beside me. "Snuggle with me?" he asked placing an arm around my waist.

I can't turn down a good snuggle...or can I? Nope. I placed a leg over his waist and I pulled myself a little closer to him.

"I love you Kori," he mumbled.

My eyes widened. What do I say? What do I say? What do I say? Oh gosh say something you idiot! He's waiting for you to say something and your just frozen up!

I said the first thing that came to my mind. "I cannot do this!"

Grant lifted his head and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

I sat up and wrapped my arms around my legs. "I'm sorry Grant but I'm just not ready for those three words." I couldn't look at him.

I heard him shift around before feeling his arms around me. "Kor, I don't expect you to say it back."

"You don't?" I asked. I looked at him. "But...but-

He let out a sigh. "Look if you're not ready then you're not ready. I'm not going to force you to say something you don't feel. I know that I love you and that's why I said it. Just because I said doesn't mean you have to."

I let out a sigh of relief. "So you're not mad?"

He kissed me behind the ear. "Does that answer your question?"

"No," I said turning my body to him. "Maybe you should make it a little more clear to me." I wrapped my arms around his neck and his lips connected with mine.

I woke the next morning with no Grant. My hand reached for the spot, its warm so that means he left not too long ago. It's Sunday so I could either stay in and sleep or be active? I tapped my chin while I thought. Hmm? Sleep it is!

My phone let out a ring and I groaned. So much for staying in. I reached for it, not even lifting my head up and answered.

"Hello?" I mumbled.

"Good morning," Richard greeted.

My head shot up and cleared my throat. "Morning," I said.

"I have a surprise for you," he said enthusiastically.

I let out a chuckle. "What kind of surprise?"

"I can't tell you that," he laughed. He paused. "You're not doing anything today are you?"

I shook my head. "Nope."

"Alright, I'll be over in two hours. Wear something casual," he said. He hung up the phone before I could even reply.

A surprise? Out of no where? I wonder what he's planning. I mean this better not be a date or something.

Richard kept his word that he was going to be here in two hours...literally. I really don't know how he managed to make it here exactly two hours later. I like that in a guy. Someone who isn't late to things.

"Kori!"

Grant! Oh no this is so not good! My current and ex-boyfriend together in the same room? I should have told Richard to wait for me outside!

I quickly grabbed the rest of my things before heading downstairs in nervousness. When I spotted the two I stopped. Both had their arms crossed, both were glaring at each other, and both had that cute scrunch in their face. They look so similar that it's scary.

"Hi," I greeted.

They didn't turn to me. Instead they kept their eyes on one another. Great, both are stubborn as well. "Hello!" I yelled. No movement again. I rolled my eyes and made my way over to them. I placed myself in between them, pushing both of them away from each other.

Grant was the first one to snap out of it. "What the hell is he doing here?" he asked angrily.

I turned to him and crossed my arms. "You already know that he and I are friends. We are spending the afternoon together."

"And you didn't tell me this because?" asked Grant.

I let out a heavy sigh. "I was going to tell you before he came. I didn't realize he'd be here exactly in two hours." I really am not in the mood for this. I wrapped my arms around Grant's chest. "I will be back before dinner. Then you have me all to yourself."

His face softened and his frown turned into a smile. "Okay I guess I'll just deal."

I clapped my hands happily and turned to Richard who still was glaring at Grant with that scrunched up face. "Dick?" I asked. He didn't say anything. I snapped my fingers in his face. "Earth to the boy wonder?" I asked.

He shook his head before looking at me with a smile. "Sorry. How are you today?" he asked.

"I'm great," I replied. I grabbed his arm and pushed him towards the door. "Let us go now."

He nodded and opened the door. "Alright alright! Someone seems eager to spend some time with me!" he yelled and I knew he did this to make sure Grant heard.

I felt my waist being tucked at and my lips were suddenly attacked. It took me a moment to register that Grant was in fact making out with me in front of my ex-boyfriend. I could only imagine the look on Richard's face.

Speaking of Richard, he grabbed my arms and pulled me away from him, growling in the process. "We. Don't. Want. To. Be. Late," he spoke through his teeth.

My breathing evened and I placed a hand on my head, still a little dizzy from that little episode.

"Can't wait to see you tonight," Grant said seductively.

Richard continued to glare at him even after I pushed him out the door. I walked out and turned to Grant before closing the door. "Don't do anything stupid," I said.

"Love you too," he replied.

I paused once I closed the door and took everything in. Well that was a great start to a morning. I mean it's a dream every girl could ever ask for, current boyfriend and ex-boyfriend fighting over me. I wonder if they could wrestle in a pool full of oil. Naughty Kori! Don't think bad thoughts! My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an engine. Richard brought his motorcycle!

I ran over to him and he smirked as he held out the helmet. He knows how much I love riding on his bike. I strapped the helmet on and wrapped my arms around his waist, my chin resting on his left shoulder.

"Ready?" he asked angling his head a little.

I gave him a smile. "I am ready."

Confession: I re-read Stroll Through the Farm numeral uno and I made a slight error. Grant is supposed to be younger than Kori and I accidentally made him older. I'm going to change his age in the other story so it matches this one so don't point it out. Its weird cuz even though I'm the one who wrote the story, I forgot everything about it.

Next chapter: Richard's little surprise and Kom has a little surprise of her own.

Story Update: Thursday or Saturday afternoon. I have no time tomorrow and I've got work right after college Friday. Actually maybe I'll have a chance to update Friday...anyways just keep in mind that I'll update again this week.

Other Updates: I'm currently working on the thought of this story. I haven't written anything yet because I'm still figuring everything out in my head. I've had this idea for a very long time and once I write half of the first chapter, I'll give you a little preview.

Lastly: Just read and reviews are welcomed
