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

Gracie opens her eyes in the thought of witnessing Jason but instead she finds no one. He was already inside the bedroom after giving up on her since she had no ears to his constant lecture. The brunette sits up to see his back faced against her from where he was standing. 'He is angry, oh no!' Well, he was angry this whole time but now he may or may not just push her down his balcony."Jas-""Shut up!" He yells back, pushing his silver locks back from his face out of frustration. "First of all, what you just did was completely idiotic and dumb. What if something had happened to you? You have your brain to think, right, Ms. Gracie Nerd Rose? How about you USE it?!"Gracie silently looks down, "Okay, you don't have to shout at me. Besides, it's your fault too. You just never let me speak! I told you I wanted to talk to you today and I'm not leaving you alone until I explain myself." She reasoned her actions, even though she knew he had a point."Or maybe you're still drunk since you

"So, you were scared? That's it?" Jason asks softly, displeased that she wanted to push him away simply because she was scared. Well, it is understandable that she freaked out, knowing her mother's extent, however he wished she would have just told him rather than acting on her fear. He was missing her unnecessarily when he could've just been next to her, by her side this whole time. "I know, I am sorry." Gracie looked down. She was still seated on the counter, while Jason stood now making himself comfortable between her thighs while hands rested against her waist. His warmth reached her nervous self, causing her to speak her heart out and let him know everything she ever wanted. Although, she hadn't made any long eye contact with him, just simply stealing glances now and then. Yet he understood the sincerity she was putting in her apology and their bond. "Okay, listen. I am not a kid and I know I can handle things on my own. Besides, how long can your Mom bother me anyway?" He men

"You are so troublesome, I swear to God!" Harold groans on the phone before hanging up the call. It was around 9 in the morning and his friend had just asked him to arrange some garments for a female guest at his house. A bit suspicious because even though Jason's far away from a gentleman when it comes to stuff like this. Night stands, basically! He would never treat some random female with such utmost care and attention. "Why do I feel like it's for Gracie?" Sana spoke, sitting at the passenger seat beside him. The light-haired girl had been listening to all the bickering of the two friends on the phone for the past few minutes and she was damn sure now that boys are not only dumb but unnecessarily aggressive. Or maybe it's just the annoyance of the morning that makes them ten times more dramatic? "You might be right. It's rare for him to ask such favors from me for a random person." Sana nodded her head. "So, you're gonna help me with this right?" Harold asked and took a smooth

Gracie stood in the classroom as she saw Jason trail behind her cousin. Everyone was so nonchalant about the situation that none of them bothered to speak about it. Except Gracie. Her mind was clouded with this unfitting feeling that she couldn't even name. Was it her being worried? Or was it her being anxious that her cousin who had a past with this guy was going to be alone with him? Was she getting too worked up over nothing? Maybe it was her being jealous? Either way the situation was giving her mind and its peace a hard time. As if her body was screaming to trail behind Jason and let everyone know the comfort and intimacy only the two share. A light pat on her back from Shaun reassured her. She caught the eye of Shaun and then Sira. The two were already looking out for her so she smiled rather than blurting out stuff. Taking a deep breath, Gracie decides not to let her overthinking take over her again and gets back to what she was doing. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*Without much exchange of w
