AN: above is her outfit for the party

As I squeeze into my dress, a knock sounds at my door.

"If you can zip a dress, then come in. If not, go away." I say, trying to do it myself.

"I'm here to help." Grant's voice sounds through the door.

"Where my uncle?" I ask.

"He left already. I'll be taking you to the party." He says.

"Enter, young Palawan." I say in a dark voice. My door creaks open, and soon I feel my dress zipped. A pair of hands wrap around my waist and spin me so that I see Grant's face. He pulls me closer, and kisses me.

"Woah there, Romeo. Slow, remember?" He laughs.

"Yes but my Juliet looks rather beautiful tonight." I grin.

"Wow, gee, thanks." I mutter.

"Not, that you don't look beautiful every day but... Yea I'm shutting up." We both laugh and I am released from his grip.

"Stay there, I have a couple things left to do." I grab my shoes from my closet, and head into the conjoining bathroom.

"Don't rush. I'll be here all night." He says, putting himself on my bed.

"No you won't!" I call, finishing my makeup and straightening my hair. I latch the necklace, and watch it drop to the base of my neck. I sit on my tub and tie my heels, and walk out.

"Wow." He says.

"Now that I am complete, shall we leave?" I ask, grabbing my black purse and phone.

"We shall." He opens my bedroom door and lets me out first, doing the same at the front door. I lock the house, and we get in his truck and leave.

After about 45 minutes, we arrive at one of the producers house.

"Ready?" He asks.

"Ready Freddy. Sort of." I smile and he nods and we head in.

"Kris! Grant!" A person who I barely know comes up and hugs me. I hug her back, and go over to my uncle.

"Hello, baby girl." He kisses my forehead like a father would, and hugs me.

"Hello. While Grant mingles, I will stay in the shadows." He laughs.

"There's my girl." He hugs me again, and walks away. I stand in a corner, watching Grant socialize.

"So why is a pretty girl like you standing all alone." A random guy creeps up, smiling.

"Because I'm not into big parties. Or one night stands." He laughs.

"Well maybe I'm not here for a one night stand." He says, creeping closer.

~•Grant's POV•~

Candice- she's being hit in. Bad boyfriend

Me- where is she? And yes, I am a very bad boyfriend...

Candice- corner by the hallway. And don't let her leave you for the rest of the night.

Me- ten fore rubber ducky.

Candice- save the kinkiness for later. And not for me.

Me- that wasn't even kinky you weirdo.

I smile, and walk over to my damsel in distress.

"Hello beautiful." I wrap my arm around her, and she looks up at me.

"Hey handsome." I look at the creep.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry, I didn't seem to notice you coming in. Who are you?" I ask.

"Jason. Brother of the producer." He nods.

"Lay off my girlfriend please. Next time I won't ask so politely." I grab her waist and pull her outside.

"Thank you, Romeo. How sweet." She smiles. I kiss her cheek.

"Of course, Juliet. Do you want to leave?" She shakes her head.

"No, this a party for you and everyone else, and I won't ruin it for you." She looks up at me.

"But, Kris..." She shakes her head again.

"Grant.. You're the main star. They'll want you there. Besides. I'll take one for the team. Maybe I could get out a little more." She smiles and so do I.

"Fine. Whatever the boss says.." She laughs. She reaches up and kisses me lightly, and its my turn to laugh.

"Woah, Juliet. Slow, remember?" I say, mockng her.

"Screw it." She mumbles. She kisses me again, wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me down. I wrap my arms around her waist, and kiss her back.

Until our friends come out.

"Woah, Grant. Didn't know you had it in you." Rick says, slapping my back. She lays her head on my chest, and I smile.

"It wasn't me who initiated it." I grin, earning a slap on my arm.

"Go girl!" Candice hugs her, and they go inside.

"Grant, I'll let you sleep over this one time." Her uncle says winking and walking away.

*Later that night*

She leans on the doorjamb, watching the TV while brushing her teeth. Her auburn hair is wet and pulled up in a messy bun.

Her black Avia running shorts are covered by one of my old t-shirts. She disappears again, and then comes out, ploping herself next to me.

My arms immediately wrap around her waist. She smiles up at me, laying her pretty little head on my chest.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask, turning down the TV.

"Nothing." She mumbles, sounding tired.

"You're tired." She yawns.

"Jerkface." She mumbles again. I chuckle.

"So I've been told. Sleep, duck, you need it." She yawns again.

"Fine, but only because I love you, you jerkface." My breath hitches, as I feel her steady breathing.

Did she say what I think she just said?
