Previously - Will started kissing down my neck to let me breath. With shaky hands I....
I put my hands on Will's chest and pushed him back. He was my best friend and we were making out! Don't you see the problem with that? He leaned against the wall with his hands over his lips and his head down.
I ran out the door and glared at Henry. I whispered angrily at him "Are you happy now, agh, you know I like Will. That tortured me. To know how much I want him but also know that I can't have him it's painful. Are you happy with yourself now?" By the time I finished yelling at Henry I felt sad. No, I felt worse than sad, I felt mortified.
I sighed and murmured "go get Will. I think he's passed out in there." Henry pulled Will out of the closet and brought him back into the main part of the basement. He looked shaken up and stuttered as he said "ok, enough with that game. Let's watch the movie."
I was all too happy to agree.
I sat as far away from Will as I could have but somehow by the middle of the movie I ended up lying on the couch with my head on his lap and he was stroking my hair. I don't know how it happened but it did. We were like magnets; we couldn't stay away from each other long.
His hand stroking my hair was so calming that by the time the movie was over, I was asleep.
-WILL
She was lightly snoring and I found that to be one of the most adorable sounds I have ever heard. I looked over at Henry and he wasn't paying attention to me so I lowered my head to her forehead and kissed her. My lips lingered on the skin of her forehead. Her hair smelled so good and hung loosely over her shoulders. I didn't want to, but I pulled away and resumed watching the movie.
I looked over at Henry and he was watching me with an odd expression. Henry must have seen. He whispered "I know you think that she'll freak when you tell her, bro, but she deserves to know. You'd be surprised on how she feels. You just have to give her a chance."
"If she just wants to be friends then we'll be just friends. I don't want to do anything that would push her away." Henry just shook his head.
After some time had passed and the movie had finished I noted the time. Grace needed to be home soon. It was unusual when her mother told her to come home so there must be something important going on tomorrow morning. Normally we would all sleep over: Grace, Henry, and I.
I leaned over to Henry and whispered "I'm going to take Grace Home...I'll be back soon." he replied with a simple "K."
As carefully as I could I picked her up and carried her outside. I laid her in the backseat of my car and went up to the driver’s seat. I slowly drove her home and was careful not to hit any bumps or make any sharp turns. Once we made it there I quietly and carefully carried her inside. Her mom was still awake and she greeted me. "Why hello, William. Happy Birthday. I see Grace fell asleep during your party." "Thank you Mrs. Soman. Yes, she was out before the movie was even half over. I'm going to take her to bed now. Have a good night" Mrs. Soman said "Your house is so far away. You can stay here tonight. I don’t want you driving this late."
"Thank you, goodnight" I said
"Goodnight" she replied
I carried Grace bridal stile up to her bed. I pulled the sheets back and laid her down. I went over and closed the door. I hurried back over to Grace and kissed her forehead. I whispered "if only you knew how loved you are you naïve little girl." She is slowly warming up to us and her family. I wish she would see that this is her home, that we won't hurt her.
After texting Henry that was staying here tonight, I slept on the floor.
Four hours later I woke up and stretched my limbs. I was sore and had a knot in my neck and back.
I gave up trying to kneed out my muscles after a few minutes of trying and stood up. I walked over to the bed and I knew Grace wouldn't mind, so I slipped under the covers and slept.
-Grace
I woke up lying on something that smelled really good. It reminded me of Will. I snuggled closer to it. Whatever it was, it wrapped its arms around me and I wrapped my arms around its chest. I fell back asleep.
I woke up again at seven. I just laid there until what I had snuggled to moved. I jumped and looked over at it. I saw that it was just Will so I lay back down and waited until he was awake to wake up.
After Will regained consciousness he muttered "morning." I couldn't help but smile and I replied with "morning to you too, sleepy head" I rolled out of bed first and quickly changed into my dress. Will asked me "Why are you all dressed up?" I told him "I have to go to an important meeting." I was going to meet one of my suitors but I could not tell Will or Henry that. I did not want to cause an argument and I didn't think that they would accept me and my family’s decision.
Will jumped up and yelled "Crap, I have a... um...meeting at eight fifteen. I'm going to be late and I still need to shower and change" he put his shoes on and ran out of my room, down a flight of stairs, and out the door.
Well, he sure seemed hyper
