***Thank you all so much for reading He Loves Me; It has come to an end. I hope you all enjoyed the story. It was my first written and completed story so I know there's a lot to work on, but I appreciate everyone who stuck through it with me.

Thanks again and I will see you all in my next story, whenever that may be. But, in the meantime, please check out my short story "I Still Do" in my Library; it's an easy read to pass some time.

I started writing a new story, CRUSH and would love it if you give it a read and let me know what you think!

Two years ago, when the song ended at the party, Luna broke from Grayson's hold and walked towards the refreshments table. Luna grabbed a glass barely filled with water; she was feeling very hot and thirsty. Luna leaned her head back and poured the water down her throat in one gulp. She started coughing and frantically set the cup down. She covered her mouth and continued coughing. 'What did I just drink?'

"Are you okay?" Grayson and Noah said in unison as they both hurried to her side. Sera was right beside Noah. Noah handed Luna a cup with a clear liquid inside.

"What is that?" Luna asked, being cautious of what she will be consuming.

"This is water."

Sera picked up the empty glass that Luna had set down on the table and brought it up to her nose. "Vodka," she said. "You downed that cup of vodka," Sera sounded impressed.

Luna took the cup of water from Noah and gulped it down. After she finished, Noah took it from her hands and set it on the table. "Are you okay?" Noah asked.

Luna didn't want them to worry about her and ruin the night. "I'm fine." She forced on a smile.

Sera and Noah left to go to the dance floor. Luna was left there standing with Grayson, who has a concerned look on his face. "Are you alright?" Grayson asked. Luna turned to look at him. She just stared into his dark eyes for a while.

"Hiccup," Luna hiccupped. She slapped her right hand over her mouth as her eyes widened. "Hiccup." Grayson chuckled and turned to the table to pick up a glass of water. He handed it to Luna.

"Here. See if this helps." Luna took the glass and smelled it to make sure it was indeed water. After checking the clear substance, she drank it in hopes of curing her hiccups. She handed the empty glass back to Grayson and he set it down.

Luna started to slowly blink her eyes as she stared at Grayson. "Why me?" She asked.

"Huh?" Grayson didn't understand what Luna was trying to say.

"Why are you being nice to me?" Luna stumbles to her right as she pointed out a finger towards Grayson. He catches her in his arms before she got closer to the ground.

"You're drunk," Grayson said chuckling his deep chuckle once again.

"I don't get drunk," Luna reassured. "I can't get drunk if I don't drink alcohol."

"Okay," Grayson realized there was no point in arguing. "What did you mean by 'why me'?"

Luna continued to gaze upon Grayson. She licked her dry lips and slowly blinked several times. "Why...did you dance with me tonight when... there are so many other pretty women here?" Luna was speaking very sluggishly. She blinked a couple more times.

Grayson lowered his face down closer to Luna's until the tips of their noses touched. Luna blinked rapidly, her heart started to race.

"Miss Luna Rose," he whispered. "You are the most beautiful girl here tonight."

Luna could feel his warm breath bouncing off her. Grayson inched his face even closer to Luna's and didn't stop until his lips were on her lips; he kissed Luna. Realizing what he did, Grayson pulled back and saw Luna's dazed face. She didn't seem to realize what had happened. They stood there motionless for a couple of seconds.

"Hiccup," Luna hiccupped. Without warning, Luna stumbled again, this time backwards. Grayson tightened his grip around her waist. Luna's head fell limp backwards.

"Luna?" Grayson called to her as Luna seemed to have become unconscious. All of a sudden, Luna swung her head forward, hitting Grayson's head. "Ouch," Grayson groaned, using his free hand to rub his head. He then gently rubbed Luna's forehead, where a red mark was making its appearance. He grimaced, thinking about how much it must have hurt Luna. He then leaned in and placed a kiss on her red forehead before picking her up into his arms.

With Luna in his arms, Grayson walked out into his car and sat her down in the passenger seat. He walked over to the driver's side and sat down, closing the door. Grayson realized that he hadn't put on Luna's seatbelt yet so he reached across Luna's sleeping self and pulled the seatbelt over her and clicked it on. When the seatbelt clicked, Luna opened her eyes sleepily and raised her head to look at Grayson, who was directly in front of her. Grayson froze in surprise.

"Oh. It's Grayson Diamond." Luna brought her right finger up to her lips. "Shhh. Don't tell him I like him."

Luna's eyes slowly closed shut and her hand fell back to her side. Grayson saw Luna's head bobbing from side to side. He brought both his hands up to steady her head and leaned her head to the left, resting it on his right hand.

Grayson smiled. "I like you too, Luna Rose."
