A Love Trap

Ashley was astonished at what Greyson had just said.

He was already 24 -

one year older than her!

But age had been kind to him and he looked younger than he actually was.

Ashley was silent, not wanting to say anything.

"Ellie, did I say something wrong? Ashley looks unhappy," Greyson asked Ellie, confused.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Ellie said. "She's just a little surprised by your age. Can you guess how old she is?"

"22 or 23?" Greyson said tentatively.

"Correct! She's 23. And you know how much girls are bothered by looking older. Ashley's one year younger than you are, but people think she's your older sister. Could she be more upset?" Ellie said, her face a picture of concern. But at the look on Greyson's face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I guess you could take Ashley to be your elder sister, only she's younger than you," Ellie joked, handing Ashley another cruel blow.

"Okay, shut up, Ellie!" Ashley rasped, glaring at Ellie.

"I'm sorry if that bothers you. I do look younger than my own age, so every time I go out and people see me, they think I am still a juvenile," Greyson said gloomily.

"It's okay. You look cute," Ashley said.

"Yeah, I know. I love the way I look," Greyson smiled.

Gazing at Greyson, Ashley became speechless again. He was cute, but so much cuter when he smiled.

"Where do you work?" he asked. And then as an afterthought, he said excitedly,"Maybe we work in the same company but we don't know that we do!"

"Ha ha, Little Greyson, you are so cute!"
