"Okay, maybe not this." Gracie replies to Sira as she shows her chosen shirt. "Ugh, you have so many shirts already. And I swear to God, another black top you pick and you will see my rage." Gracie complains. Sira giggles at her friend's whining before showing her another choice. "Well, your decision to take me with you, not mine!" "Shut up! Let me find you something in pastel. You should flaunt that pale skin that you have, you sexy dumbass." Gracie mentions as her friend glares at her. "Who are you calling a dumbass, bitch?" Sira snaps back. The brunette smirks before raising her palms, "You, you sexy dumbass with that juicy booty." "Oh shut up, you are just another hot brunette chick with- oh shit!" Sira's complementary speech was halted as she abruptly clutched Gracie's forearm, before dragging her behind the cloth rack. "What the hell? What happened and ouch! It hurts!" "Shush! Look, it's Jason and Niall!" Sira yells in a whisper. Gracie mimics her large eyes, before cauti
Eyes widened and pure fear washed up on her, Gracie's body got slammed against the door but not too harshly. When her mouth was freed, the only thing she wanted to do was scream. However, seeing her attacker up close had her breath hitched and tongue slipped. "Jason!?" She gasps. Her brown orbs are still wide, looking directly into his pairs as her palm reaches her lips. Somewhere she wanted it to be a real kidnapping situation instead of her getting caught while spying on her situationship. The boy simply folds his arms, before glaring towards her. "Care to explain why I was feeling two pairs gawking over me for the last two hours?" "We were spying on you for two hours?!" Gracie blurts out. Hearing her sudden admission, she slaps her mouth close. Damn my mouth. Clicking his tongue attractively, he speaks. "Hmm, so you admit it." He raises his brow."Erm.. Let me call Sira! Bye!" She squeals before trying to exit the situation. "Not so fast!" He grabs her wrist before she could f
Gracie dragged Jason along with her to a store that showcased various outfits. Since Jason wanted to tag along, she figured it wouldn't harm her to take his suggestions. She picks some of the dresses and he does too. The upscale shop had sections of fitting rooms that were big enough to have couches outside of the curtained rooms. Jason patiently waits for her to come out. The shop assistants bowed before giving them privacy. "Are you sleeping there? Or did you forget that you entered to change outfits!" Jason impatiently calls out. Gracie rolls her eyes before replying back. "I just entered the room, Jason." She reminds him. She had managed to get inside the dress but is it really worth it? Seeing Jason waiting there, already made her nervous as it is. She had put on a thin silk dress. It was in the shade of turquoise blue and simple but backless. Showing too much skin than the girl was used to. Jason was clearly excited and she didn't want to disappoint him. "Okay, here I com
"Hello ma'am." The caller spoke from the phone. Mrs. Rose, Gracie's mother, did a little nod along with humming to let the caller proceed. "What do you have for me today?" Her mother asks. "The boy who's been associated with Gracie, he was seen walking around the shopping mall and entering an apartment with her. In fact, I've been noticing them spending time with each other very intimately." "Thank you for updating." With that note, Mrs. Rose cuts the line and tosses the phone to bed. Sighing in disappointment, she facepalms to keep herself from bursting. Gracie was slowly getting on both, her nerves and her patience. The lady knew she would have to do something before things got way too far. She liked discipline and if something is beyond her control, she will work it to make it all under control. There was a sudden knock heard from the other side of the door. "Come in!" She orders. Gracie enters the room shortly after. "Hello, mum!" She greets. Her mother could tell she wasn't
Feeling her anger fresh from the morning, Gracie felt her appetite crumbling apart. As pleasant as yesterday's morning and noon were, its dawn was worse than she had ever experienced. Taking everything in consideration, the 17 year old was yet not ready to let go of the person and the feelings she had just discovered. But her mother wanted otherwise which was pissing her off to the utmost. Gracie had decided not to talk it out with anyone yet and first make up a decision by herself before listening to anyone's opinion including Sira. So, she kept her bad mood on the low and interacted with everyone as usual. Keeping herself busy since morning by helping teachers voluntarily was one way to keep herself away from her friends and distracted. Although, the conversation with her mother was still playing on repeat in her memory center. Walking down the stairs towards the staff room on the ground floor with a pile of papers in her hold, Gracie suddenly got a flashback of her cousin Ellen.
She can't believe this. It hasn't even been a day that she bid her farewell to Jason Drew, yet she's already regretting her life choices. "Ugh!" Gracie groans before slamming her face to the table. "Argh!" She groans loudly again, this time kicking the air. She wasn't mindful of her surroundings of course. Gracie was the type of person to stay strictly disciplined when she is outdoors and surrounded with people or even her friends. Then what is happening to her now? Seems like the girl is learning new things about herself daily. For a person who doesn't like to cry in public, Jason surely made her emotions jumbled up within these few days of her knowing him to the point that she's slamming her head against the table repeatedly. She hears her phone buzzing. Pulling her head up, she removes her hair from her face to check the caller ID. 'Mum☠️' Gripping the phone harshly, she wanted to throw the device away just because of the name alone. Gracie, usually, wouldn't dare to walk away
At the bar:"You need to stop this." Shaun says after listening to her narration of the problems she is facing with Jason. Gracie knew Shaun was a trust-worthy friend and reliable when it comes to help or suggestions. Definitely, a great friend to seek advice from. "You're scared of your mother? Seriously? Jason is not a baby. I'm sure he can handle whatever comes in his way." "My mother isn't the only problem though. I feel like a bad sister and a friend for taking her man away. She never wished anything bad for me, yet I did this to her." Gracie sighs, worry creeping upon her pretty round face."First of all, let Jason decide that. You didn't even ask him what he wants? What's the guarantee that he will be with your cousin after you leave him? That's totally up to him who he wants to be with. You need to listen to him too." Shaun explains. "And you need to talk to him before you decide things for yourself." Playing with the glass in her hands, Gracie clenches her grip around it. Sh
Gracie seriously didn't know what she was doing, late at night in front of the twenty-one floored building, where on one of the floors, a guy named Jason Drew resides. Considering all of the conflicted feelings and desperate seek of comfort, the girl had enough. 'If I have fallen for Jason, I have to face it!' She thinks, clenching her fist. 'Okay, Gracie. You can do this!' She didn't know where the courage came from. She couldn't be sure if it was the shot of vodka that Shaun made her drink before coming here or simply her screwed up mind. Not to mention, Shaun was nice enough to drop her here and said good luck before bidding his goodbye. Her eyes suddenly water at the thought as she curiously looks up to the building. The night suddenly felt cold and her spine had a chill run through it, acting as a threat to come in between her way to meet Jason. Gracie didn't know if he was alone right now or messing with Ellen. She hated to admit that she cared. She cared deeply; in fact so d
