Hi
Quick question.
If Grayson and Ashley were real-life celebrities, who'd you want them to be?

Third Person's POV
Lucas' car was parked in Cam's house.
"I had a great time." Cam grins.
He smiles, "I'm glad you did, so would you be my girlfriend now?"
She shakes her head, "We've been on one date so far. It's not enough. As much as I enjoyed it, I'd like to go for another one."
He sighs, "Can I get a hug, at least, for my effort?"
She thinks for a while, "Okay fine, Come're." She opens her arms wide and stretches forward and he gladly engulfs her, arms going around her, head resting in the crook of her neck. She runs her hand through his blonde locks, playing with them.
"You have a nice hair, you know." She mutters and he pulls away slightly to watch her face, hands resting on her waist.
"I don't."
"Well, I'm telling you." She continues to run her hair through it, a goofy grin on her face. She was enjoying the feel of it.
"Yes ma'am." He chuckles.
A frown replaces her smile, "Don't call me that, it sounds eew in my ears."
"Okay, ma'am." He says again in a tease and she shoots him a glare amidst a grimace.
He was amused, to say the least by her facial expression. What was wrong with the word ma'am? "I was just kidding."
She wasn't having it. She swats his hand away from her body.
"You know, that waiter, he's so frigging hot, goodness!" She exclaims, fanning herself dramatically. "You and I can't deny it. I think I'd have to go back to the parlor sometime to get his number. I bet he'd be sooo glad I came back."
The humor cleared off his face and now it was her turn to smirk evilly. She knew fully well that her statement would definitely tick him off but she still played it cool, having an innocent expression on her face, while he had a stony expression, almost like he was ready to injure someone.
Anger swirls in his orbs and he clenches his jaw. "I thought we were over this?"
"Yeah!" She replies in a singsong voice.
"So why are you bringing it up again?"
"I don't know, maybe because I just realized he was too hot to go unnoticed." She batts her lashes.
He doesn't say anything but watches ahead of him, a deep frown etched on his face.
She laughs. "You know you don't have to be jealous right? I was just kidding."
He scoffs, "Of course! That's what you'd say."
She pushes herself even more closer to him, turns his face to meet hers, and cups his cheek, looking at him dead in the eye. "You don't have to be jealous of other guys. It's you I like and not anyone else."
He sighs, "Are you sure?"
"Just you." She smiles and his gaze softens.
He cups her cheek and she leans into his touch. "And I like you even more."
Her cheeks tinge pink. "I've got to go." She pecks both of his cheeks and ruffles his hair, again, making it messier than it already was before exiting his car.
"Goodnight." He calls out to her.
"Night. Dream about me."
"Definitely will."

"He took me out," Cam says to her friend.
"So that was why he was out yesterday?"
"Yep."
"I came back home and he wasn't there. He's real discreet."
"Aren't you too? It runs in your blood like DNA."
Ash laughs, "I'm not soooo... Okay, maybe just a little." She pinches her thumb and index finger together.
Cam shakes her head laughing, "Nope, you're the most discreet person I've ever known."
"I would call it reserved."
"Reserved indeed! Where did you and your boo go?"
"Nowhere. Just at his place."
She wiggles her brows, "At his place, huh??!!"
Ash laughs and hits her playfully, "It's not what you're thinking."
"Oh! Right! Maybe you can tell me what am thinking, 'cause I don't even know."
She doesn't say anything and Cam smirks, "So you're telling me you guys did nothing?" She raises one brow.
"We talked and watched a movie together."
"Come on, you know that's not what I mean?"
"Okay fine," She moves closer and whispers, "We just kissed."
She squeals, "Omg! A kiss is not just, puh-lease. It is something, I've been dying to do same with Lucas."
Ash looks at her perplexed and bewildered and confused altogether.
Cam sighs, "I know! I know! Anyways, how does it feel to be a girlfriend?"
"Honestly speaking, I don't know?"
"Goodness! I can't wait to be one."
"You're the one prolonging it and you know it."
"I wish I could just say yes to him already."
"Then do, it's obvious he so badly wants you to be."
"Nah, let him stress a tad more."
Ash chuckles, "Don't complain then."
"I know I shouldn't but I can't help it." She pouts.
"Then tell him you'd be his girlfriend."
"I can't, he has to work hard enough to get me." She flicks her hair sassily and Ashley shakes her head at her friend's stubbornness.
"Pay attention." She says pointing to the teacher before them.

It was break time, Grayson and the others left the class together as usual and headed for the cafeteria. As they walked, with Ashley by his side he couldn't help but entwine their hands. Ashley's gaze flickers to their locked hands and a smile spreads across her face. She loved it, the show of affection. Behind these two was Cam who was pouting at the public display of affection, whilst Pierson, Lucas, and Dylan just watched on. Cole wasn't there to witness this.
"You know," Lucas whispers in Cam's ear, "you and I can do this," he points at the couple's laced fingers, "and even more. Just accept to be my girlfriend."
She bites on her lip, "Not yet."
He shrugs, "Suit yourself then."
She goes to entwine their hands just like Grayson and Ashley, she felt the need to be treated as such. Lucas on the other hand foresaw her action even before she was about to, so immediately he places his hands into his pockets. She turns to look at him a frown on her lips.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asks, pretending not to know what her frown was for. She turns her face away from him, embarrassed.
He chuckles and removes his hand from his pockets holds her hand and laces her fingers with his. She turns to him and he smiles at her lovingly. He raises their hands, turns the back of her hand towards his lips, and pecks it.
"See?!! It's that easy." He chuckles.
Her ears tinge pink, "W...wha..atever." She pulls her hand away. Her heart was running wild.
When they enter the cafeteria they head for a table. Grayson sits beside his beloved girlfriend and Lucas, Cam, whilst Dylan and Pierson sit at the other side of the table, right in front of them.
Grayson places the paper bag he is holding on the table. He opens it and brings out Ashley's wrapped chocolate-filled doughnuts and places it in front of her.
"Thanks." She smiles, a blush on her cheek. He nods at her and pushes the paper bag towards the rest of them.
The rest were watching the two intently, amused smiles on their faces except for Cam who had a pout on her lips.
Dylan fans himself dramatically as he wipes non-existent sweat from his forehead. "Gosh, I need to start dating. Cam any candidate in mind? I feel like being loving and caring all of a sudden."
They all laugh.
"Maybe me." She smiles.
"Taken," Lucas says.
"Woah!" Dylan chuckles.
She looks at Lucas, "I'm not... taken."
He brushes a stray hair from her face, "Baby, you are, by me, forgotten?"
"Dyl, she's taken man, besides you both don't look like a match. I do have someone in mind." Pierson motions for him to come closer and when Dylan does, he whispers something in his ear.
He seemed to be in thought for a second before nodding his head. "Great," Dylan mutters.
"Any secret admirer on your side, man?" Lucas asks a question directed toward Pierson.
He chuckles, "Nah! I'm good."
"You want to keep being the flirty you," Cam utters, a sinister smile on her lips.
"I bet," Dylan says and they all chuckle.
"I have my reasons."
"Scared of heartbreak?" Lucas asks and Pierson shakes his head, "Not really."
"Or maybe you're waiting for the one?" Dylan teases.
He seemed to be in thought for a while before muttering, "Maybe!"
"Woah!" Dylan exclaims and they all laugh, again.
