No touchy touchy remember?"He chuckled. "How will they believe?""I didn't come here to prove to the world that I am dating you, Mr. Grey.

It was a cool breeze with just the right speed at first before it turned warm.She rolled to the other side because it was coming directly into her face. That still didn't stop the warm air from blowing on her face.It wasn't just a cool or warm breeze anymore. It was more. Like the air has been mixed with mint and each blow to her face drew her more and more awake.'What if it's not a breeze?'
