Saving Grace

Chapter 22

Grace's POV

Jc was currently bring up the Christmas decorations we just bought for the apartment. "This is the last bag." We got a new tree, ornaments, lights, and other different decorations. "Alright let's get decorating!"

I turned on some Christmas music and Jc started to set up the tree. "Now where do you want this?" I picked up the base and I moved it to where I wanted it. "Right here."

Jc started to build up the tree while I got the other decorations out of the bags. There was a little bark and I looked down and Dream was sitting there. She gave me the puppy dog face so I walked over to her treat jar and I grabbed one out.

"Alright Dream, sit." She sat down and her tail was waging. "Stay. Stay." I backed away slowly while she sat still. "Come here girl!" She ran over to me as fast as she could and she received her treat.

"There you go baby." I said and I got up from my spot on the floor. "Hey Grace! The tree is ready for lights!" I looked over to the tree and it was amazing and tall. Also Jc stood proud next to it.

I grabbed the boxes of multi colored lights and the blinking ones. "Here. Let's put these ones on first." I gave him the non-blinking lights and we opened them up.

Jc plugged the first strand in and started to wrap the lights around me. "Um... Jc... I'm not the tree." He ignored me and continued to wrapped the lights around me.

After we were all out of non-blinking lights Jc walked away. "Jc! These lights where supposed to go on the tree!" He reappeared with his camera. "Alright now look cute."

He snapped a few pictures then he sat the camera down. "Alright let's unwrap you."

We hung all of the lights and by the time we where done it was time for lunch. I walked over to the kitchen and I pulled out the pre-made soup. I sat it on the stove and I turned on the burner.

"Lunch should be ready in a few." I turned on air play and started to play some soft Christmas music. I kept stirring the soup when there was a knock on the door. "Jc, can you get that?"

"Oh hey guys come on in. Grace is just cooking the soup for lunch." All of a sudden I was faced with my mom, Matt, and Connor. "Um... Lunch is ready."

Jc grabbed five bowls and spoons from the drawer and cabinet. I poured some soup in to each of the bowls and everyone grabbed a bowl and spoon leaving one of each for me.

"I thought you guys where coming later?" I asked sitting down at our dinning table. "Why waste time? I think they would want to get most of this done today." My mom said.

~skip planning~

It's almost ten o'clock and we have a vast majority of the planing done. "Alright do you guys like what we have?" Matt and Connor both nodded their heads yes.

"Ok. Now that we have that settled, I want to go to bed!" Might I say I get a little cranky when I'm tired. "Alright Grace. We're going now." Just as they left Jc came in all sweaty from working out.

"So how did it go?" I showed him all of the notes about the wedding. "Wow. It looks all done." Jc started to hug me. "It's not. And get off me, sweaty." I said forcing his arms away.

"I'm going to shower." Jc walked back to our bedroom and he closed the door. I waited until I heard water running to go back into the room.

I changed into some pajamas then I started to pull off the decorative pillows. I heard the water shut off and I quickly jumped into bed. I heard the bathroom door open and I acted like I was asleep.

"Good night Grace."
