It Ends Where It All Started ©️

21.

~February 2041~
~THIRD PERSON~

That evening Grace and Leo made plan. Leo is going to act to Grace how he think is right and whatever he do wrong Grace will be there to help him to make it up.

Whenever Leo will want to go out, instead, he will hang out with Grace and Kyle or his family.

Step by step they will go through everything, they will work on everything together.

It only problem was that Grace started to like him, to like his kisses that much that she misses them whenever she is without them for more than a day.

But this time she didn't care, she knew what happened to him, she knew he is not a bad boy and that that's all just a mask with what he is trying to protect him from everyone around him and that's what he didn't need around her anymore.

They were spending almost every day together for the last three months and whenever they shouldn't be together they were constantly texting.

They started to be obsessed with each other even they didn't want to admit it, i.e. he didn't want to admit it.

He didn't mind that they started to act like they're more than friends even it was all new to him.

The most important he couldn't hide the feelings he has for her. No matter how hard he was trying but he couldn't hide it anymore.

In one hand, he didn't want it to happen because he was scared of getting brokenhearted again even he believed she won't do that to him.

But in the other hand he wanted it more than anything, he wanted her to teach him how to love again, how to treat her right, how to treat her like a princess and he was doing it so well that Grace just could fall for him even more day by day.

~Flashback~
~Christmas Eve 2040~

She was putting last decorations around her bedroom when her doors opened and closed. She had music on and she didn't hear anything.

He sat on her chair turning music off and she jumped lightly when she saw him.

"what are you doing here?" she asked with a smile on her face

"I thought you might need some help with this" he said trying to be serious but small smile was on his face

"actually, I need some help with those led lights" she said pointing to one part of light hanging down from the ceiling and he just laughed to himself

"okay" he mumbled and went to the corner of her bedroom

He stood on her bed trying to fix her lights as she just sat on her window couch looking at him.

"you're not of help sitting there and staring at me" he said looking down at her

"I would be less help if I try to help" she said

"you really know how to leave me speechless" he laughed at her

"here you go" he said few moments later

"thank you" she smiled at him

He got closer to her. Putting his hands on each side beside her legs and leaning onto them looking at her.

"what?" she asked

"what what?" he asked not taking his eyes from hers

"why are you staring at me?" she asked

"you're staring at me back" he said

"I'm not" she said looking away from him

He pulled her by chin so she looked at him again. He leaned closer to her. She closed her eyes wanting his lips on hers but he decided to joke with her.

"what do you want Grace?" he asked

She leaned closer to him and their lips brushed against each other.

"what do you want Grace Rose?" he asked smiling against her lips teasing her

"I want to kiss you" she said quietly almost whispering

"what? I didn't hear, you're so quiet" he said

"I want to kiss you" she repeat little bit louder than before

"you want to kiss me?" he asked

"yes" she said and he finally put his lips on hers

She out her hand on his cheek but he put her hand down. He still wasn't used on some girl touching him but she didn't mind it. She knew he need time and she was there to give him all the time on the world.

"everyone's downstairs we should join them" he said quietly putting the lock of her hair behind her ear stroking her cheek

"I want to stay with you" she said and he couldn't help but smile

"I know, but we have the whole week together" he said and she looked at him confused

"what?" she asked

"we staying here the whole week" he said and she just smiled hugging him

"let's go downstairs" he said pulling her by wrist

"glad you decided to join, what did she do that it took her so long?" Ben asked smiling at the both of teens

"she couldn't put on her led lights" Leo said rolling his eyes playfully

"here" Ela said handing her daughter star for the top of the Christmas tree

"you put it on" Ela said and just when Grace wanted to protest that she is too small for it James pointed to Leo

"what?" Leo asked

"when you were younger Ben and I would put you on our shoulders so you could put on stars, you're now enough old to put on by yourselves, if you trust Leo, Grace, of course" James said and Grace just looked at Leo

"do you trust me?" he asked

"yes" she said and Leo sat down on the side of the couch so it was easier for Grace to get up on his shoulders as Ben and James helped her until Leo stood up

"you ready?" Leo asked looking up at her as he held her wrist getting ready to let go one of them

"yes" she said a little scared but she trust him and it wasn't because of him but the height, she wasn't the biggest fan of heights
