"Friends" || G.D. ||

46: DATE!!

Lynn's P.O.V. 

I slip on the black heels that were in the bag with the dress and stand up. I hear Monica open the door and invite him in like she is my family and this is my first fancy date. I walk out of the spare/Ethan's room looking at the floor. I look up as it gets quiet. 

Ethan is sitting on the couch, looking at me in awe. Monica is looking at me in delight. My eyes travel to Grayson. His eyes skim my body and he keeps staring at me. 

"You look very pretty," Ethan says, getting up from the couch and walking over to me. He gives me a quick, tight hug and walks back to the couch. I look at Grayson again. 

"I-I am speechless, right now. I'm sorry. Wow. Just wow. You look-" he stops and l start giggling at him. 

"Thank you. You look very pleasing yourself," I say referring to his suit. He walks over to me and hugs me and kisses my cheek. 

"Ready to go?" he asks. 

I sigh in excitement, "Yes!" 

He walks over to Ethan and says something in his ear. Ethan gives Grayson their little brother hug thing they do and Ethan says, "Have fun, you guys." 

Grayson hooks arms with me and we walk out the door. 

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

We arrive at the restaurant and I don't feel nervous that much anymore. Grayson talked to me as if everything was normal. And maybe everything is normal. It is just a date, after all. 

He gets out and opens the door for me. We walk into the place and stand in the V.I.P. line. He must have got the V.I.P. tickets for this restaurant. It had to be expensive. But you get better seats in the dinner and you get waited on faster. I am glad he thought this all out to be special. 

We get seated and they give us menus. I don't know barely anything on the menu so when the waitress comes around to take our order, I order what Grayson orders. 

She walks away and I smile. "You didn't know what any of that stuff was, did you?" he asks. 

I laugh and look at him. "Yeah," I say. 

He leans in and whispers, "Me neither. Sorry if it tastes terrible."

I laugh at him and he looks at me. "I am surprised you didn't freak out on that girl for looking at me," he says laughing.

"Well, she wasn't flirting with you," I say. 

"That was pretty funny when you snapped earlier, though," he says, laughing, "And that is honestly why I love you. You stick up for what and who you love and you don't back down. I honestly love you so much!" he says, expressing his feelings. 

"I love you too, Grayson," I say. He starts to say something but the food arrives and he closes his mouth. 

I take a bite of the food and feel like I am in heaven. My stomach craves more and more until I finish it all and realize I am full. 

"Want desert?" Grayson asks me. 

"I don't know if I can eat it all," I say. 

"Me either," he says, "Maybe we can order one and just share it." He chuckles. 

"Sure," I say. He orders a chocolate desert type of thing and she comes back with it faster than I thought she would have. We pick at it and try to finish it all but we can't. Grayson sits back and he smiles at me. 

"I am still speechless about how you look. You look so beautiful. I honestly don't know how to say it because everything I say is going to sound cheesy and dumb," he says. 

"It's fine. By the way, I have a question," I say.

"Me too. You first," he says. 

"What ever happened to the Hawaii trip your mom was talking about. She said that you, me, Ethan, and her would be going. I just remembered earlier when we were on the beach," I say. 

"Remember the other time we were on the beach and she called?" he asks. 

"Yeah," I say. 

"She doesn't want to go anymore. She wants Monica to go with Ethan so we can all have fun. Well, anyway, she was calling because we were making plans to go there but we don't have planned out when. And that kind of leads into my quesiton," he says. 

How would that lead into his question? He is probably going to ask me when I go, duh. 

"What is your question, Grayson?" I say leaning my head on my hand and blinking my eyes in a mocking way. He laughs, it seems like a nervous laugh, and I laugh to. "What do you want to ask me, Gray."

He takes a drink and wipes his hands on his pants. He reaches into his pants and pulls out a box. The same box I pulled out earlier from his dresser. I cover my mouth in shock as he stands up and then gets down on his right knee. 

"I love you. I honestly freaking love you so damn much and I can't put it into words. We have always been there for each other, even if it was as best friends. You know me best and I know you best. I love you and I want to be there for you. I want to you to carry my children and I want to raise them with you. I know we have only been officially 'together' for almost 3 months but we have known each other our whole lives. I cannot live without you, Lynn. I love you. Will you legally be mine and marry me," he says. He opens the box.

It isn't like it matters anyway because I have already seen it. I can hear the silence as I let the question hang in the air. I know everyone is now looking at Grayson and me. It is still quiet. I am now the one that is speechless.
