𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝐵𝑟𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠: Gracie Joyce has always dreamed of being a actress when she grows up. She knew that it would be almost impossible they way her life was going at the moment. When an opportunity for a new movie production find...

It's been weeks. Weeks since I have seen her, weeks since I have touched her, and weeks since I have kissed her.
Because it was Christmas, Tanner gave us a break over that time, and also News Years as well. With Blake on a business trip, and me not wanting to invite my father over to hang out, I've been alone over the break and all I can think about is how I got to hold Gracie, and taste her.
Sure the kiss was a peck on the lips, and sure it was short, but my body has never ignited the way that it did when our lips touched. I had wanted to do so the night of the party. I knew I had to be careful and not cross any boundaries, and Gracie already felt a little hesitant when I offered- forced- I don't know the word for it- either way she and I slept in the same bed, and I held her.
It was the night that I realized I was a cuddlier. I never cuddled with anyone, my mother is an exception. But when I had Gracie in my arms, I had never felt so safe.
When I woke up that morning, I could feel the crack in my heart. I didn't even get a message, so I didn't know if she got home safely, I had to pray that she did and I couldn't really breathe until I saw her on set a couple days later safe and sound.
And she still hasn't let me speak to her about what happened.
What would I say anyways? Thanks for the cuddle? Or I'm sorry for being such a jerk towards you to the point where you hate me... yeah I wouldn't even believe me.
But now, it's the New Year, and we have a pretty popular interview. It's going to be the first time I see Gracie in a while and I don't know if I'm ready for that.
That's where I am now, sitting backstage with my hands on my knees, Gracie is apparently still in makeup, when we go on in five minutes.
Blake is here for me, he is sitting with me and tells me that he will be watching me the whole time. Knowing that I have trouble speaking in front of people, most of all in interviews since people tend to ask me why I'm such a jerk- you can tell it gets awkward fast.
I hear the interviewer speak, announcing how excited everyone in this room is for the new movie, and then it happens, she introduces Gracie and she walks out the other side of the stage.
She smiles and waves to the people in the crowd. She is beautiful, carefree. Her dress is a dusty pink and flows down to her feet, it's a total spring dress but she rocks it even in January.
Before I have a second to pick my jaw off of the floor, I'm introduced and I'm being pushed out by one of the crew backstage. When people start cheering I give them a tight smile and a little wave.
I make eye contact with Gracie and see that they have us sitting next to each other. I say nothing as I take a seat next to her and give her the same tight smile, except this time, I have to keep it tight or my face will break out into a full grin just seeing her.
