He took my hand and we walked back to the room. "Hey your back, and very sweaty" Brittany said "Oh good you're here, I have exciting news for both of you" I said walking over to my chest and getting out a bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvée and a thing of toasted macadamia nuts "Must be really big news" Brittany said.
"Okay here it goes, I got a time slot for talk radio at EBF" I said with a big smile on my face "Oh my god Grace, that's amazing" Luke said as he picked me up and spun me around "This is what you've wanted for awhile" Brittany said "I know i'm so excited" I said going over to hug her.
"But what about your book" Luke asked "I'll find time, don't worry about the book it will be finished" I said placing my hand under his chin and giving a quick kiss on the lips.
"Go ahead Luke" I said to him and he popped the cork and champagne spilled over his hands. He poured each of us a glass, we gathered in a circle with Luke's hand wrapped on the side of my waist "A toast, to our new talk radio girl, who showed us that hard work and determination pays off, cheers to Grace" Luke said holding up his glass. "Cheer's" we all cheered as we clanked our glasses and took a sip.
"Whats with the macadamia nut's" Brittany asked "They go good with the champagne" I replied. "Well since we're drinking in the middle of the day, how about we all go to lunch, to celebrate" Brittany said "Good Idea Britt" Luke said "Great just let me put this bottle of champagne in the fridge" I said "And i'll use the restroom real quick" Brittany said.
"I'm so proud of you babe" Luke said giving me a kiss "Thank's, can you go and get the door" I asked after I heard a knock "Sure" he walking over to the door. "Can I help you" Luke asked as he open the door "Yes is this where Grace Figueroa lives?" said what sounded like a young woman. "Yes she does, Grace honey there's someone here for you" Luke said "Coming" I said walking over to the door while putting the champagne cork back on.
"Blaire" I said in shock to what is being presented in front of my very own eyes "Hey you guys ready to g-, Blair" Brittany paused getting caught off guard. "Who is Blair, oh wait you're the sister" Luke and his clueless mind . "Hey Grace, it's been awhile" Blaire said standing in my door way.
I stood there, staring, my whole world then in that moment came crashing down around me, my heart sunk like a pirate's ship, being drug down by a kraken, I am now in Davy Jones's Locker. My ears were ringing as if someone shot a pistol next to me, I was stuck to the floor as if my feet were glued.
"Grace?" Blair called out "What happened to you?" I asked "It's a long story, I was hoping we could talk" She said "Talk?, you came here to talk?, well you came at the wrong time because I am going out to celebrate a glorious occasion with my boyfriend and my best friend and i'll be damned if I let you ruin yet another thing in my life, and i'm not sorry" I said as I pushed thru her and out into the lobby area.
Luke followed me and Brittany locked the door behind her "If I were you which i'm pretty glad i'm not right now I wouldn't stick around to long" Brittany said leaving Blair in the hallway.
We stepped into the elevator and rode down to the main lobby in awkward silence. "I'll drive" Luke said walking to his car, he opened my door for me and helped me in while closing the door behind me. "Okay where are we headed" Luke said getting into the car and starting the engine "How about Pierre's they have good crab" Brittany suggested "Sounds good to me" I said looking out the window.
As we made our way to the restaurant I could see that occasionally Luke would look over at me. At some point he reached out for my hand that was resting on my thigh, his hand perfectly fit mine. I squeezed his hand hard as a tear ran down my face.
Throughout the rest of the evening Luke never left my side or let go of my hand for that matter, I didn't mind because he was my comfort. After a late lunch we headed down to the beach for a sunset walk. "I'm going to catch up with you guys later" Brittany said walking off into another direction. "Let's go" Luke said leading me towards the beach.
The minute we got there I took off my heels and Luke insisted that he was to carry them. "You look absolutely stunning right in this moment" Luke said looked at me "I love you so much" I said to Luke leaning into his chest placing my head on his shoulder "I love you too" He said wrapping me in his arms.
We walked along the beach hand in hand our feet leaving footprints in the soft sand. "Dance with me" I said looking at Luke "There's no music" he said giving me that irresistible smirk "So, did Beethoven need his hearing to make music" I said "I guess not" He replied dropping my shoes in the sand and placing his hand on my hip and placing his other hand on mine.
We sway back and forth content with each others company, and I then place my hands around his neck and he fully places his hands on my hips. The sound of the waves crashing as we move with each other made everything at peace. As we slowly turn I see Brittany standing at the top of the sandhill and she smiled at me, I smiled back. "Are you ready to go?" I asked in his ear "If you're ready" He said pulling apart "I am" I chirped.
