Well here`s the next chapter :) Big thank yous and cookies for AtYourSide, dannt and turfted titmouse for reviewing. I`m so happy I actually got reviews! xDDD

Claire`s POV

We walked over to the Inn chatting. Half of the time Gray and Ann were arguing (go figure). As for the other half, we had a nice chat. Now I would say we know each other fairly well.

"Here we are Claire! This is the Inn!" Ann said cheerfully. "This is our dad; Doug and the shy one over here is Cliff. He is also new here." She said pointing to the two.

"Nice to meet you two." I gave a warm smile.

Ann`s POV

This is weird... Gray is never this nice to anyone. I would know, afterall I AM his sister. Could he? possibly? no way... Well she is pretty and she seems nice... By the way he`s acting... I would say he likes Claire! But of course my brother is too stupid and dense to know it...

I looked over at the two. They were smiling and giggling. They already looked like a happily married couple. Maybe I should help big brother... heheheh... -evil grin-

"Hey Ann!" It was Claire. "Do you think you could show me around town tomorrow?" I then looked down at Gray who looked extremely disapointed. Was it because she didn`t ask him? Heheheh interesting.

"Sorry Claire! I have extra work tomorrow. You could always ask Gray though!" I caught a glimpse of Gray who showed a little smile.

"Uh.. Umm... G-Gray, c-could you give me a tour around town tomorrow?" The blonde said as she stared at the floor.

Wait... Oh my gosh! By the way she is acting... she likes my cold-hearted brother! Ohohoho... This town just got a whole lot more interesting.

"Uh, sure Claire," He gave a loving smile. Wait... loving? I`ve never seen him smile like that! Ohohoho, this is going to be fun. I get to play a fuuun game! Yessss!

"Gray you show her around everywhere, but the lake got it? I`m taking her there k?" I shouted from across the room.

"I guess..." He mumbled. "Claire I`ll take you home. It`s getting late."

Claire`s POV

"Okay! Thanks Gray!" I said as I grabbed his hand and we walked out the door.

His hands are big... I never noticed how much bigger he was than me until now. He`s almost a foot taller too.. What is he? 6'3''? -mentally slaps myself- Ok back to reality Claire!

"Claire!"

"Huh? What?"

"I`ve called your name five times now. Are you okay?" Gray asked concerningly.

"Sorry. I was just thinking.." My face began to flush.

"Oh ok.. Well just wondering.. but are you going to let go of my hand at all?" He stared at the ground and his stupid hat was blocking my view from his face.

"Ah! Sorry!" I pulled my hand away. I blushed furiosly when he suddenly took it back.

"It`s not... like I minded..." he mumbled causing me to blush more if it was even possible. There was an awkward silence while we walked to my farm hand in hand, blushing like all hell broke loose. It was cold outside but I felt very warm. Was it because I was holding Gray`s hand? I looked up at him. His face was covered by his hat (go figure) but his ears were red. Im sure mine had already. Wait why am I blushing? Why is he blushing? Calm down Claire.. I`m sure we`re just cold.

Gray`s POV

I think she`s staring at me... I feel eyes on me but I don`t want to look. I won`t take the chance of her seeing me blush.I wanted to see her face though... I don`t know why, I just do. I looked down at the blonde. We made eye contact then immediately look in the opposite directions, blushing more. Her face was just too cute. Wait cute? Blushing? What the hell am I talking about? I just met this girl! What are you thinking? Bad Gray, bad! -mentally slaps himself-

"G-Gray?"

"Y-" I cleared my throat. "Yeah?"

"Abouuuut the deal, what`s your answer?" She stuck her tongue out.

"Fine..." I mumbled out.

"Heehee yay!" She smiled. "Well thank you for walking me home"

"Um, no problem!" I replied, trying not to blush at her. Honestly I didn`t want to let go of her hand. "Well good night. I`ll pick you up after work tomorrow." I said as I was leaving.

"Gray, wait a sec." Claire called.

I turned around.

Claire`s POV

"Gray, wait a sec." I called. He turned around. "Thanks" I whispered as I pecked him on the cheek. I watched as red filled his face and I scurried into my house. I leaned against the wall. "What did I just do?" I whispered to myself.

Ann`s POV

"Cliff, did you see that!"

"D-Did she just kiss him?" Cliff asked with a grin.

"I think so. What are you grining about?"

"Hmm? Oh it`s nothing. Heheh.. It`s just, me and Gray have been friends ever since I came here and He`s never talked about girls but I have a feeling he will tonight." He said while chuckling. Oh Goddess is Cliff cute or what? Ok off topic! Back to the situation!
-Flash back-

"Okay! Thanks Gray!" Claire said as she grabbed his hand and rand out the door.

"Hey Cliff,"

"Yes Ann?"

"Let`s follow them" I whispered.

"You read my mind." Cliff answered giving sending an almost evil aura. Honestly it suprised me, but oh well, we were on the same page.

As we were following them we heard;

Gray: "Well... Just wondering... but are you ever going to let go of my hand?"

"Oh come on Gray! That`s not the right thing to say! Grrr.." I mumbled out. Cliff just nodded in agreement.

Claire: "Ah! Sorry!" She pulled her hand away from his. Then the unthinkable happened, Gray took her hand back. Mine and Cliff`s jaw dropped.

Gray: "It`s not... Like I minded.."

"That`s the way to do it big bro!" I said. Cliff was dumb-struck.

-Flash back end-

"Shit, Gray is coming this way." Wait... Did Cliff just cuss? Oh well...

"Damn... Hurry! To the Inn!" I whispered.

We ran to the Inn in record time. When we got back we were giggling like crazy.
