A Love Trap

Ashley and Ellie were both exhausted. After they had spent the whole morning walking around and looking at all of the animals in the zoo, they collapsed in a heap at the table and after they had some lunch and a nice long rest they felt much better. Greyson then stood up and led the girls to another destination.

As the girls plodded along beside him, they found that the street they were in had become busier and was bustling with people everywhere. They wondered why Greyson had brought them here.

Suddenly he smiled and stopped in front of a vacant shop and the girls looked at each other confused.

"Why have you brought us here?" Ashley asked as she looked at the shop. The shop front was much better than any of the ones that they had looked at, and the location couldn't have been better.

Ellie had roughly mentioned that they wanted to rent a place to start a bakery shop to Greyson yesterday, but she didn't share any more details. So she stood gaping in surprise at the shop front.

"Ashley, have you forgotten what I am capable of?" Greyson said giving her a wink when he noticed the surprised look on Ashley's face.

Ellie felt so relieved that Greyson didn't mention the conversation they had to Ashley.

Ashley knew exactly what Greyson was capable of. It was easy for him to find out whatever he wanted to know.

Ashley crossed her arms and looked at Greyson and said, "Of course I know what you are capable of. But I just don't understand why you have brought us here."

Greyson's cheeks blushed and he answered shyly, "I'm just trying to repay you for what you did for me.

If it hadn't been for your kindness, I would have been starved to death and wouldn't have been able to find my relatives in such a short time."

When Ashley heard what he said, she rubbed her forehead awkwardly and replied, "It wasn't a big deal. There's no need for you to repay me for that."

Greyson was silent and stared at her expectantly.

It seemed as if he wasn't going to stop staring at her until Ashley had accepted his offer.

Greyson and then at Ashley. She knew what Greyson did was out of good intentions. But she also knew her friend
