Since it was Friday, I spent the night with her; One to make her feel safe and plus I didn’t want to leave her just yet.
I called mom, telling her I’m sleeping over, which she didn’t care about as long as I don’t starve myself.
After last night I felt closer than I have ever been with Grace.
“Hey” I say slowly getting up from the floor.
“Hey…” Grace says depressed.
“How are you feeling?” I say folding my blanket.
“Better,” Grace says, putting her hair in a pony.
“That’s good, right?” I say looking at her intently.
She giggles “Thank you”
“You are always welcome” I say, giving a smile.
“Hey kids! I know it’s Saturday but come help with breakfast” Stella yells from downstairs.
We look at each other and laugh. Setting down the folded blanket onto Grace’s bed, I make my way to the door.
“Ladies first” I say, holding the door open.
“Sure, you just don’t want to go down and help” She says rolling her eyes.
“You think sooooo lowly of me” I say, making a pouty face.
We laugh. This feels great. It feels as if Brad never happened, plus we got to be closer than friends. This is nice. Who would have thought?
“Hey guys! Had a good sleep?” Stella says back towards us, grabbing ingredients from the fridge.
“Yeah, definitely for me I feel as if I slept on clouds” Grace says walking towards her mom.
“Really?!” Stella glance at me with an eyebrow raised.
Instantly blush “Soooooo what would you want me to help with?” I say in panic.
Stella laughs “Cute” She whispers.
“Gin, come cook the eggs, make sure you cook about six of them. Grace come help me cut up the potatoes” Stella commands.
“Yes, ma’am” I salute in a joking manner.
“Okay,” Grace says, rolling her eyes.
After breakfast, Grace and I decide to go out shopping as an official couple. Which made me super giddy, but I also feel like I need to not to scare her and play it cool.
“Wait here, I’m going to try on these.” Grace says holding up a few outfits
“Okay” I say with my thumbs up.
As soon as she turns the corner into the dressing room area. I quickly straighten my shirt and pop a strip of gum.
“How’s this one?” She walks out with a blue crop top.
In a panic, shallow the gum too quickly.
