Silence (Sequel to Collide - Nash Grier)

Chapter 12

"Reservations under Grier," Nash said to the man at the front desk. The lights were dim. Very fancy place. I feel like a two year old at a wine tasting party.

"Right this way Mr. And Mrs. Grier," a lady dressed in all black said leading us to our table. I looked up to Nash smiling and slightly laughing.

I have to admit, it did make me smile. I haven't been able to wipe a smile off my face all night. Please ever since I met the boy, all I can do is smile when I'm with him.

"You made her do that on purpose," I said.

"Do what?" he asked trying to play it cool. He took my hand and intertwined our fingers as we followed the girl to our table of two.

We sat down across each other but of course Nash got the chair for me first before he sat down to get the whole fancy gentleman effect. "You made her say Mr. and Mrs. Grier like in The Fault In Our Stars."

"I did no such thing!" he said winking.

"That's what I thought Mr. Grier."

"Mrs. Grier! If you keep accusing me of things I didn't do, I don't think that our marriage is going to work!" He said trying not to laugh. People around us were giving us looks as if we were idiots. And it's true. We are idiots. But I'm in love with that idiot. I love him. And I'm going to tell him that I love him.

"Champagne?" The waiter said coming up to us. I looked toward Nash, he was smirking. The waiter poured a glass for the two of us. He picked it up toward me. I tapped my glass with his. Then took a sip of the sweet tasting sparkling water, not the alcoholic beverage.

"So, what's for dinner?" I asked, "I mean the formal outfits, the champagne, Mr. and Mrs. Grier? What's next? Lobster that is way too overpriced for what it should be?"

He chuckled. "Nope. Remember our first date?"

"The Fault In Our Stars movie, beach night, and Starbucks?"

"No no no, our first date!" He said getting excited. The waiter put down a covered plate in front of Nash and me. He took off the cover showing a Subway sandwich.

"Nash why is there a Subway-" I stopped myself in the middle of my sentence, "On our first date we were voted to be locked out of the house and went to Subway."

"I'm a good boyfriend," he said smirking.

"Yeah," I said taking a sip of my drink,"you are."

"So after that amazingly fancy dinner, what's next?" I asked as we walked down some random street.

"I was thinking that we have that really cheesy part of the date were we stand on a pointless bridge over a little stream in the middle of a garden with many flowers for absolutely no reason."

"You know me too well."

He started leading me that way. "So what do you think of all this?"

"Depends on what you're talking about."

"Us. Just us. Nobody else except us."

"I think us is perfect."

"Perfect us shall be Mrs. Grier," he said laughing. We made it to the pointless bridge in the garden with flowers.

I leaned against one of the sides looking down to the water. "How long are you going to call me that?" I asked smiling.

"Well I'm hoping that one day I'll actually be able to call you that, so I figured might as well get used to it now," he said shrugging his shoulders.

"And what if that doesn't happen?" I asked messing with him.

"Then you wouldn't be here right now," he said moving closer to me until our lips connected.

I heard a splash in the water and it made me jump out of our kiss but into his arms. "What was that?"

"Oh good, I didn't think you would hear that," he said running off the bridge and down to the little stream under me. He picked up a little red box and ran back up to me. Our bodies were so close. Only centimeters apart.

"That better not have another plane ticket in it," I said.

He laughed. "No, something better than that," he said opening the box. Inside the box was a silver necklace. But it wasn't a new silver necklace, it was my necklace with Nash's signature on it.

"Where'd you find that?" I asked. The last time I wore it was the day I saw him and Whitney. That was also the last time I saw it, I didn't know what happened to it. "I thought I lost it."

"I thought I lost you."
