Saving Grace

Chapter 17

I must have dozed off as my phone ringing wakes me.
"Tony, it's Vic. The meeting is in 10 minutes. Where are you?"
"I'm at Gracie's. I'll be there as soon as I can. Tell them it was a family emergency or something."
Gracie is watching me as I sigh.
"The band has a meeting with management in 10 minutes. Do you want to come?" She shakes her head.
"I'll be fine. Honestly. Go or you'll be in trouble." She kisses me and pushes me gently to get me moving. I don't particularly want to leave her right now but she'll be fine for an hour. I dress quickly, give her another kiss and promise I won't be long.

The meeting drags on for longer than I wanted it to but there was no way of getting out of it. As soon as it's over I run for my car. Vic grabs me before I get there and asks me what's wrong. I'm not sure if Gracie wants me to tell them just yet and at the moment I think she's safe so I just tell him I'm taking her out to dinner. He grins.
"You've fallen hard haven't you buddy?" I nod, a smile appearing on my face as I think back to what we did earlier. He lets me go and I am soon back at Gracie's, knocking on her door. She opens it and smiles as she wraps her arms around me. It's late afternoon by now so I ask her if she wants to go out to eat. She thinks for a second then nods.
"I need to change first though" she says, although to me she looks perfect. I don't have any spare clothes here so I'll drive us to mine to grab some stuff and change on the way. Gracie emerges from her room a few minutes later, in a 50's style dress and pumps. She looks stunning. Again. She never fails to surprise me and I can barely tear my eyes away.
I tell her my plan and she nods. She comes into mine while I pack a few things to take back to hers later and then I quickly change. Fresh black skinny jeans and a plain black t-shirt along with a black leather jacket that makes me look as 1950's as her. We are going to look great and I know just the place to take her.

I pull up outside a 50's diner - and Gracie's face lights up. She has the biggest smile I've seen on her yet. She starts singing softly 'You're the one that I want' from Grease which makes me laugh. We are seated and order hamburgers, fries and other stuff off the menu. Our waitress it seems is a Pierce the Veil fan and asks for a photo with me which Gracie takes and I sign her phone case. She then asks for a photo of us both in our 50's outfits so we strike a silly pose, both of us grinning like nutters.

We make our way back to Gracie's when we're done and I grab my bag out of the car before taking Gracie's hand in mine as we walk inside. She goes to change again and I hang my jacket on the coat rack by the door. I glance at my phone and see an Instagram notification. It's the photo the waitress took earlier. She tagged me in it so I press like and screenshot it for myself. Gracie comes back in and snuggles up to me as she flicks through the different channels looking for something to watch. She heads for the music channels and coincidentally, Bulls in the Bronx is on. I tell her to watch and she giggles when she spots it's me.
"Can I have your autograph please?" she says in a joking way. I kiss her instead. It soon turns into something more and I carry her through to her bedroom again where we make love once more. After, I remember the TV was left on in our excitement so I go back through and switch it off, picking up my phone at the same time. I see more Instagram notifications so quickly check them. It's mainly comments but one makes me shudder with fear.
I'M COMING FOR HER.
