"Really? And you didn't bother to look for me downstairs? " Angel asked patting his back
"You know how much I hate crowds,,"Gray said and withdraw from the hug
Angel smile and rough his hair
"Kiddo is becoming so big" Angel said as she had to stand on her toes before touching Gray's hair,,he's really tall
Gray grin and hugged her again lifting her up in the process
"What the hell! " She screamed and knocked him on the head
He immediately dropped her and winced as he rub his head roughly
"Gosh,,,that hurts" He groaned
"Why did you do that? Are you trying to show off your power?" Angel scoffed and sat down
"Just want to show you to stop Calling me a kid,,am a man now" Gray claimed and Angel scoffed

Gray smiled and looked at her intensely
"Any secret? Do you have a boyfriend? You look pretty" He teased
"Meaning? I can take care of myself, do I need a boyfriend before looking pretty?"
"Oh,,that's right, I get it " Gray said
"Your friends are downstairs,, they haven't changed one bit,,still crazy and stubborn" Angel said standing up
"I'm glad you know they are crazy" Gray said

As Quinn walk home,she wasn't bored as she had expected. She keep on seeing things which excited her a lot but at the same time tired of walking.
She had stopped to get some junks on her way which she was busy with in her mouth,,,,but then suddenly a car stopped right beside her almost making her scared with the way it stopped.
The car opened and her eyes grew wide as she saw Gray,,,,
She immediately put herself together and made way to leave without saying a word,,,
" Hey Queen" Gray smiled and walked to her
"Hi,,," She replied shortly
"Are you okay? And where are you going? "Gray asked
"I'm fine,," Quinn said
"Where are you going?" Gray asked
"Home"
"Do you mind coming with me?" He asked
"Yeah,,don't worry about me. " She replied and took a step
Gray pulled her back
"What do you want from me?? I just said I am fine" Quinn snapped
Gray was a little bit surprised at her reaction,,,
'Is she mad at me? ' he wondered and released her.
"I thought you don't want to talk to me,," Quinn said
"Why?" Gray asked
"I don't know,, "
"Stop thinking about things like that " Gray said
"Come in,,I will take you home" Gray added
"Are you sure? What if,,,your girlfriend,,,, "
She couldn't finish her statement when Gray grabbed her hand taking her to the car
"You don't have to bring her up when we are together " Gray said when they entered the car
"But she's,,,, "
"No,,," Gray cut her off and she nodded
Meanwhile she was smiling inwardly.
