too good to be true {grant gustin}

you're the flash?

for the next 3 weeks, i performed monday-friday nights at the hotel, had a bunch of 'girl days' with brooke, and hung out with grant like twice a week. whether it was hanging out at his place or going out for dinner. you could say life was going pretty smoothly for me.

i open my eyes and grab my phone, its grant.. at 8 am?? he knows how much i love my sleep..

"hello."
"hey riles whats up?" he replies casually.
"i was sleeping."
he laughs. "i was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch netflix with me all day?" grant asks in a hopeful tone.
i giggle, "sounds good. be over in an hour."
"gotcha."
hanging up, i skip over to my closet and grab white jeggings, a gray tshirt and a light blue denim jacket. after brushing my teeth, taking a shower, blow drying my hair, and putting on makeup, i had 10 minutes to spare. they were spent shoving cereal in my face. what? a girls gotta eat.

then i slip on my tan boots and skip down the hall. i knock on his door and wait. no reply. i knock again. "come in!" he shouts. i turn the handle and see the door is open. "grant?" i call out after opening the door a smidge.

"in here!" he calls out again. i walk in and shut the door, following his voice. i enter his bedroom. and see him trying to fold up the sleeves to his red plaid shirt. "issues?" i laugh.

"the struggle is real riles." he says. "UGH!" he looks up at the ceiling.

"need help?"

he nods.

i walk over and he sticks out an arm. after folding each one, he replies, "thanks."

"don't mention it."

we walk into the living room and i jump on the couch as he turns on netflix. "what show are we watching?" i ask.

"how about the flash?" he smirks.

"okayyy."

he sits down next to me and presees play on episode one. a male voice fills the air.. it sounds familiar.

grants face fills the screen... WAIT GRANT?? my eyes open wide and i look at him. hes smiling cheekily.

"surprise."

i hit his arm and laugh. "you're the flash?" he nods. it all makes sense now.. why brooke told me to watch the flash and why grant smiled when i said it the other day.

"so im friends with a superhero?"

"the second best superhero.. after superman."

"of course." i smile.

we watch like 10 episodes and then he stands up, turning it off. "thats enough of me."

"that. was. AWESOME!" i shout.

he smiles.

"cisco is awesome, caitlin is so pretty, and barry is a cute little bean!!!"

"i'm a cute little bean?" he asks.

i blush. "sorry." did i really just call him cute? well i mean he is but he can't know i think that!

"no its okay, you're so cute-" he freezes.

grant called me cute ohmygosh! i try not to make it anymore awkward so i smile and reply, "you want to go out to lunch?"

"oh uh sure! how does tacos sound?"

"great!"

he grabs a baseball cap and puts it on backwards. we leave the hotel and walk down the street.. thats one thing i love about living here, you can walk basically anywhere! we enter a mexican food joint and are seated at a booth. we sit across from each other. "so what do you usually get here?"
