Janelle is a small, beautiful girl, living her life in her 20's. Her job as an actress is great, her family life is wonderful, and her friends support every move she does. There's only one problem. She REALLY wants a daddy. On her way home from work...
My alarm for the day went off and that meant I was back into my scheduled mindset. I went through the process of getting ready and then left for work, noticing Kenli was already gone.
Once I made it to work I set my stuff down and started going over my lines in the lobby. My coworkers were either trying on clothes or going over their lines as well. Today was an easy day, most of the filming for this movie was complete.
"Alright, everybody, I'd like to introduce our special guest. He is very well known to some of you!" Mr Grubbs said, calling us into the main set area.
I put my script away and started walking with everyone.
"He is a professional bodybuilder, but, for us, he is going to be in a couple of our final scenes as a surprise appearance." He continued.
As I entered the room my jaw dropped in shock. He was tall, with green eyes, blonde hair, a godsent body, and face..and he was him.
The man from yesterday.
"Wow Nella, you seem to be in awe huh?" Mr Grubbs joked. I closed my mouth and realized I was staring. Everyone started laughing and I locked eyes with the man. I quickly looked away and shook my head.
"N..no" "I was just thinking about my lines.." I lied.
Mr Grubbs smiled and shook his head.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Grayson Daniels and I'm happy to start working with you all."
When he spoke it was like icing on a cake. His voice was deep but not ridiculously deep. It was like a morning voice. Something I wanted to hear more often...
"Alrighty then, let's get to work shall we?" Mr Grubbs said while cupping his hands together.
*After Work*
I started to pack up and head to my car, in a rush to talk to my friends. They needed to know about my day.
As I got in I realized I forgot my charger in the lobby. I quickly got out of the car and went to get it, not realizing that my shoes were untied once again...
I indeed tripped and fell right into the last person I needed to see. Grayson. He was almost out of the door and of course, I had to be the reason he wasn't.
"What did I tell you about your shoes dear?" Hearing his voice again made my heart pound.. and he called me dear...
"U-um" "They just um.."
"Quiet. Let me fix it." He got down on his knees and began to tie my shoes. Once both were tight enough he stood back up and handed me my charger.
"You left this on the floor, very easy for someone to decide it's theirs now."
"Yes, sorry.. thanks." I took the charger and quickly turned around to go but he grabbed my arm.
"Little girl"
I turned around, trying to hide my flustered expression.
"Your shoes better be tied tomorrow." He said. He gave me that look that means there is no debate. Another thing of his I'd like to see.
"Yes da- Grayson, okay," I said. I walked to my car and buckled up, giving him an awkward smile as I drove off.
*Home*
It was late when I got home. I was tired but the interaction with Grayson was still on my mind. I knew I was slipping into little space so I headed upstairs to my room and put on some of my cutest pjs.
I put on my rainbow socks and fell asleep with Amazing World of Gumball on my TV. I just knew I had to have my shoes tied for Grayson tomorrow.
Something about him made me want to have my shoes tied every day and just run up to him to show him so I'd be called a good girl.
Of course, the chances of that were very low but it was still a hope..
*Next Morning*
I started my morning routine as normal, making sure I chose the best outfit for the day.

After I was dressed, I took off my bonnet and realized my curls were a mess. My hair was frizzy, some curls were undefined, and the back of my hair had way more shrinkage than the front.
I knew it would take me a while to refresh my hair and that would mean I'd probably be late. But I hated being late. It made me nervous.
I was stuck in a pickle. Either be on time and have messy hair or be late with hair that looks refreshed and pretty...
I started to freak out so I called Kenli.
*Call*
K: Hey love, what's up it's hella early. N: What do I do?? My hair is a mess and I'm running out of time?!! K: oh okay okay, calm down, do you think you can just throw it in a bun for today? N: NOO, Grayson will be there, I wanna look pretty!! K: Grayson? N: Yeah, the guy from the restaurant... K: Why would be be at your job? Oh, sorry I gtg my mom's calling!
*End*
I looked at the time and realized I didn't have much left. So, I took Kenli's advice and threw my hair in a quick bun. I left a couple of curls out to make it cute and it ended up looking pretty good.
I finished up getting ready and headed to work.
Once I got there, I got out of the car and made sure my shoes were tied. Then, I made my way to the front door and saw Grayson was there, waiting.
I ran up to the front door, happy, and showed him my shoes.
"Look, look, Grayson!" I said, catching my breath. "Oh hi beautiful, what is it?" He grabbed my hand to help me balance myself. I got flustered and looked down.
"My shoes," I said, pointing down at them. "Good girl, now you won't trip anymore, yea?"
I nodded and began walking into the building with Grayson walking behind me.
