"Hello everyone and welcome to today's show! I have the hot love birds of Hollywood here with me today, Grace and Dacre Montgomery!" This has been mine and Dacre's fifth interview this week, and I've gotta admit I'm tired.
"It's great to be here," Dacre says with a somewhat forced smile. I miss the kids. Natalia and Charlie have been watching them for us while we've been on the road the past few weeks. We're only so busy because we just finished up Stranger Things 4 and the new Elvis movie just came out which Dacre makes an appearance in.
"So Dacre, you just had a great blockbuster movie that's still getting crazy recognition and fame. What are your plans next?" The reporter asks him.
"Honestly, I'm just ready to be back at home with Grace and the kids. They're about to start Pre-K and Grace is about to start on Stranger Things 5, so I just want to have family time while we can," He responds.
"Right, so Grace before we try to get spoilers for 5 I wanted to know your personal experience from Stranger Things 4," she says to me.
"Well it was definitely an experience none of us would've guessed right? It was a crazy season. There were some good laughs, and heart-wrenching tears. I love seeing all the fan theories, y'know? I mean Joseph and I really love them," I respond, and out of the corner of my eye I see Dacre's jaw tighten at the mention of Joseph.
"Yes, your new love interest on the show, what's it like working with the new teenage heartthrob?" She asks.
"He really is a great guy. He cares about his fans and his performance more than you would think. He puts his all into it, and you don't always see that these days." I respond.
She thanks us for our time, and sends us on our way. We got in the car and were able to have a few minutes of peace before Dacre starts his bullshit.
"He puts his all into it huh? Did I not do that when I was on the show Grace?" He seethed.
"Please not again Dacre. I didn't mean it like that and you know it," I sigh.
"One last time. Do you two have something going on?" He asks lowly.
"For the last time. No. You're the one who's known for cheating, not me," I state seeing that the words hurt his feelings.
"Grace, my mistakes were over a year ago," he said so quietly that I could barely hear him.
"Yes Dacre, I know that. You should know that I love you and the kids with all of my heart, and that I would never do anything to jeopardize our family," I sighed.
"I'm sorry, baby. I really am. I love you more than anything in the world," he said grabbing my hand and kissing it. I wished I could truly believed that.
We got home and Natalia, Charlie, and they're little bundle of joy, Grey, were asleep on our couch. Dacre offered to wake them up while I went up to check on Raelynn and Xavier. I miss them being cute little babies. I want another one, but I just don't feel like now is the right time for us.
I go to mine and Dacre's room and jump in the shower. I get maybe five minutes to myself before Dacre walks in.
"Mind if I join?" he asks poking his head in the door.
"The more the merrier," I say with exhaustion. He gets in behind me and starts shampooing my hair. It's so calming and so relieving.
"You're an angel," I say as I lean into his chest. He leaves soft kisses on my shoulders, and I can tell he feels bad about earlier.
"I'm sorry about earlier, Grace. I guess, I don't know seeing you with someone else on screen really gets to me, and it just hurts me some type of way," he confesses.
"I get that, baby. I really do, but you're the one who decided to leave the show after season three," I remind him.
"I know and it was dumb," he replied,. We sat there for a few minutes before my phone started ringing. It was Joseph.
"Hey Grace! Me and Jamie are at this ridiculously cool party right now! You should come," he says on the other side.
"Haha thanks Joseph, but I'm gonna stay home with Dacre and the kids tonight," I tell him.
"Oh that's too bad. Maybe another time," he ponders.
"Yeah for sure. Night, Joe." I say.
"Goodnight, Grace." he replies before hanging up the phone.
I turn to Dacre who is obviously not in the best mood. He says nothing as he turns over to go to sleep. I try to lay down beside him, and put my arm over him. He throws it off. I turn over and scoot to the farthest side of the bed before my tears put me to sleep.
"Dacre what the fuck are you doing?" I asked softly as tears rolled down my cheek.
"Why does it matter to you, Grace?" he spat.
"Um, because I care about you and the kids," I replied in complete confusion.
"Oh really, because the last time we had sex was over a year ago. Did you know that?" he asked as he stood in front of me.
"That's why you're acting like this? Because you're horny?" I questioned in disgusted disbelief.
"Tell me you're still sexually attracted to me, Grace" he said as his voice cracked. I stayed silent. He wasn't winning this one.
"Say it," he snarled as he stood above me. I stayed silent.
"Fine then I'll go find somebody who wants to fuck me," he said as he grabbed his car keys.
"Are you serious?" I asked more tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Yeah I'm done with you," he said as he slammed the front door.
I woke up with tears in my eyes. I turned over to see if Dacre had woke up. He was still as a rock. I went to the kitchen to grab a drink and called Sadie.
"Grace? What's up?" she asked groggily on the other side of the phone.
"I don't know what to do anymore Sadie," I confessed my voice cracking.
"Gracie Boo, what's wrong?" she questioned.
"Dacre. I don't know if he loves me anymore. He's so convinced something is going on with me and Joseph. I've been in love with this man since I was eighteen. With every fiber of my being I love him," I sobbed into the phone.
"Grace?" I heard someone say behind me, and I turned to see Dacre there behind me. I tell Sadie I'm sorry and that I'll call back later.
"What is it? Did I wake the kids up?" I ask while wiping the tears off of my face.
"No just me, hon" he says seeing at the kitchen island. He pauses before speaking again. "Did you mean everything you just said," he questions.
"Every last word," I respond looking at
the ground. I hear him walk over to me and he wraps his arms around my waist.
"I truly do love you more than you'll ever know, Grace," he says holding my face in the palm of his hands.
"Right back at you," I say as he lands a small kiss on my forehead. He picks me up and carries me back upstairs to our bed. This time she holds me tight and play with my hair as we drift off to sleep.
