The Darkness Inside

"Grace you look beautiful."

"Thanks Blake."

I flash him a smile and I change back into my original clothes and go buy my dress.

It's Cobalt Blue with slits in the shoulders and it's long sleeved.

We're heading back to my house when Blake pulls up in the driveway.

"Blake you can come in and chill while I get ready if you want to."

"Okay. That's cool. It's three o'clock so you've got 2 hours and 30 minutes. Operation:Date Night, begins."

"You're so weird come on!"

We go in and I start on my makeup. Nothing extravagant, but some light blue eyeshadow and winged eyeliner. I go ahead and set to work in my hair. It feels like it's only been a few minutes.

"BLAKE? WHAT TIME IS IT?"

He comes up the steps to my room,

"4:30."

"Oh. You bored?"

"Yeah I'm always bored."

"Wanna help me curl my hair?"

I'm showing him how to use the wand because I want tight curls and I don't want him to burn himself.

"Ohhh I got it! I'll do the back!"

He starts to work and it look great. Maybe I should keep him around more often. Now it's time to put on my dress.

"Sorry Blake, I'm about to change, get out. I'll probably need help being zipped up so I'll yell if I need you."

"Alright!"

He goes back down to watch TV.

I put in some pearl earrings and I put on my grandmas pearl ring. I slip into my dress and sure enough I need Blake.

"Hey Blake!? I need you to zip me up."

"Geez you need a lot of help! Here."

He zips me up and stands back at the doorframe. He's looking at me, but he's frowning.

"What?"

He walks up to me and pushes my face to smile and says,

"Better. My best friend look smokin'!!"

"Thanks Blake."

I check my phone. It's 5:00.

"He's about to be here, so you might need to leave, but thank you so much for everything."

I give him a smile.

"Anytime! See you later Grace."

As soon as he pulls out Jared pulls in. Wow. I'm glad I got ready a little early. I hear him ring my doorbell.

I open the door and his eyes dilate.

"Grace, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on."

"Jared, you aren't looking too shabby yourself."

I give him a smirk and we're off.

As we pull into the restaurant, I see two vehicles pull in behind us. The restaurant is packed! Looks like we aren't the only ones to have reservations.

I get out and Jared takes my hand and we walk to the restaurant. It's extremely fancy. We order our drinks and then I have to pee.

"Jared I've gotta run to the bathroom, be right back."

I can see him checking me out from behind as I'm walking to what I thought was the bathroom. It was actually an entrance to the kitchen. Darn. So I begin walking around cluelessly when I feel a hang clamp around my mouth, a blindfold being put on me, and the unmistakable sound of a Harley.
