Sing it Again

Chapter 19

Mallory's POV

It's Friday night, the night of the date and I have been pacing back and forth for the past thirty minutes. I'm really nervous I haven't been on a date in a few years plus this was Grant Gustin my celebrity crush. From the moment I first saw him in that one episode of Glee singing, dancing and having the look of a hunter in his eyes when Sebastian first saw Blaine I was hooked. Maybe I should call and tell him I can't do this and that I'm sick. I keep pacing but stop when I hear a knock on the door I look at my phone and see that it's seven he's right on time, I take a deep breath and walk over to the door and open it.

Grant's POV

I look up as she opens the door and she looks great, she's wearing a dress and a pair of heels that make her a little taller but she is still shorter than me. I take all of her in not focusing on one spot for too long I let my eyes wander from the top of her head all over her whole body. I look at her and can't stop the smile that appears on my face "Hey babe." I see her face turn red at my comment and I watch the smile appear on her face as she looks up at me "Hi handsome."

Mallory's POV

We get in the car and leave from my house; I keep glancing over at Grant hoping that he won't catch me. I'm startled when he speaks "So are you always this quiet?" "Only with people I don't really know." Grant nods his head and then he starts telling me about himself. "My first name is Thomas but I use Grant, my birthday is in January I have a dog named Jett. I loved The Hunger Games books when I read them, my favorite color is red and I'm from Norfolk, Virginia." I look at him and I know that I'm really starting to like him I just don't want to get my hopes up in case things didn't work out between us. Grant stops the car and I look up we are at a really nice restaurant, Kevin and Vanessa have been here a lot and I have always wanted to go but I never had the chance.

Grant's POV

As the waiter leads us through the restaurant to where we are sitting, I start to worry that maybe this really isn't her type of thing. I got us a table overlooking the beach where we have a great view of everything when we reach it she stops walking and I hear a soft gasp come from her. "Is everything okay?" "Yeah it's just I've never been on a date like this one." The whole time we are eating we talk and I say a few things that make her laugh and when that happens I laugh as well. I'm having a really good time and I don't see why I was so nervous. After we eat we start walking along the beach, I look over at her and notice that she keeps lifting up each foot and rubbing her ankle so what do I do? I pick her up bridal style and start carrying her.

Mallory's POV

I'm caught off guard and my arms go to the only place they can which is around Grant's neck. "Please don't drop me." "I've got this don't worry." He keeps on walking with me in his arms and my eyes go to his neck where I see his freckles and I can barely stop myself from leaning forward and kissing each and every one of them and I begin to wonder exactly how many of them there are. After walking for a few hours by the time we finally get back to his car the restaurant has done closed and we are the only two people in sight when we get back to my house we both get out and we are standing on my porch.

Grant's POV

Tonight was fun I had a good time." I was being honest I really liked it and I wanted to do this again before I had to leave and go back to shoot Glee, "I had a good time tonight too." This was it I could either leave now or I could kiss I decide to do the second one and I lean in and kiss her then I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her closer to me.

Mallory's POV

I start kissing back and I wrap my arms around Grant's neck. I couldn't believe it first we have an amazing date and now he is kissing me in front of my house this might work out after all. I really hope that maybe I will get to see him again. Sooner than I want he pulls away "I'd really like to do this again babe." When he calls me that I melt a little inside and its all I can do to keep from letting out a either a moan or a squeal but I decide to keep my cool. "I would too." "How about we go out again on Monday?" "Sure Monday sounds great." He walks off the porch gets in his car and drives off. I walk in the house and shut the door behind me then slide down the door.
