14 After All [Willow Falls]

Five

Grace
I grin when everyone groans. I knew that would happen. Just like I knew Tara would tell Amanda Leos secret. It gets kind of annoying knowing what's going to happen before it happens.
Amanda
We all stand outside for a second, not talking until Jake speaks up. "Happy birthday Grace!! We wish you could come to the premier, but its only for the cast and crew. Anyway, we should probably be going, we don't want to be late!" Connor hugs Grace and we all wish her a happy birthday and walk toward the limo. Leo stays behind. When I get into the limo and close the door, I try to read lips, but I fail. As Leo walks up to the limo, I quickly pull out my phone and pretend to be texting on it. He opens the door and grins at me. I frown and look away. He silently sits down beside me as we drive toward the theater.
Later: Amanda
I pull my phone out of my phone and look down at it to see the time. Its already 11:30! I hadn't realized we were gone for so long. We've just gotten into the limo. Everyone is very talkitive, mostly about the movie. Rory and Jake did amazing, and the other actors did good too. I yawn and look over at Leo, who is staring at me. He grins and I smile back. We pull up in front of my house. I see that my parents have gotten home, their car is in the driveway. I'm about to open the door when Leo scoots over and opens it for me. I step out and Leo follows me. He closes the door behind us. Silently, we walk up to my door. I stop on the porch. He slowly inhales. "Amanda," he says slowly. "I was planning on talking to our moms tomorrow," he looks into my eyes and grabs my hand. "But before I do, will you meet me in Apple Grove tomorrow?" I squeeze his hand. "Sure." I reply softly. I can feel him grinning in the dark. He leans over and kisses my cheek. "I'll see you at Apple Grove at 7." He says. "Why so early?" I ask. He let's go of my hand. "You'll see." He says as he walks away.
