So this one is a little different. It's like a written out vlog but in Grayson's point of view. This is NOT a short story (: I didn't go through and edit. I'll be posting part 2 shortly after. 🍩
Tomorrow isn't just an ordinary day. Tomorrow is Y/N's 23rd birthday and probably her best one yet. Y/N can be stubborn sometimes when it comes to treating herself. She never takes a day off at work, and always comes in when asked. Sometimes I hate how dedicated she is to everything, except of course our relationship. I tried talking her out of going to work on her birthday of all days, but I got the answer I expected to receive. Which was no. I'm kinda glad she leaving for work cause now I can run over my plans with her best friend, Emma. Emma knows Y/N really well, sometimes I think she knows her better than I do. That's not important. "Gray honey, what's up?" Shoot. She caught me day dreaming. I am the worse at keeping secrets and somehow she ALWAYS knows what I'm thinking. "N-nothing princess. Wh-Why do you think something's wrong?" "No reason. You just sweat and stutter a lot when you're nervous." Sh*t she's on to me. "Nope. Just excited for your birthday tomorrow." Oh no. Was I too obvious? She just smiled back and sipped her coffee. "Well I should head out, don't want to be late for work." "Ok. I'll see you later. Love you." I hugged her before showing her to the door and slammed it shut. I'm clearly not good under pressure. I quickly dialed Emma and told her to start heading over. She lives the next neighborhood down so it'll take her no time to get here. In the meantime, I pulled out any crafting supplies I could find and scattered them all over the dining room table. Just as I finished trashing the entire place, the doorbell rung. I ran over to the front door and pulled Emma in to help me prepare for tomorrow. I brought her to the table and sat her down to explain everything I have in mind. "Ok we need to do this quickly so listen carefully. When Y/N gets home tomorrow you'll text her asking if you can come over and give her a gift. She'll of course say yes and when you come you'll give her this envelope and tell her that it's from me." "Woah woah woah, Grayson slow down. I'm confused." "Hush. I'm still explaining. So inside this envelope is the first clue for the scavenger hunt. You are going to help her get to all of the places where the next clue will be hidden, but you have to help her find it." "How will I know where to look?" "That's why me and you are going to quickly run around town to my friends house so you know who to look out for. At the end of the scavenger hunt, she'll arrive at this glasshouse where I'll be waiting and pop the question." "WAIT YOU ARE PROPOSING?!" "YES AND I'M FREAKING OUT SO CAN YOU JUST HELP ME?" "OF COURSE! MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED!" "Ok no time to panic cause we don't have that much time. We have to get back and you are going to help me paper mache some things. So LET'S GO!" I grabbed my car keys and we hopped in my car. I started driving around town to all the friends I forced into this. I handwrote poems onto many cards and got some of my friends and Ethan to hold the cards in the different spots around town to make sure she's the one who gets it. Y/N knows all of my friends so this shouldn't be too hard for her to get through. After I propose to her in the glasshouse she adores so much, I'm going to take her out on a hot air balloon ride. Throughout our entire relationship she has always told me how much she loves hot air balloons so that's where I'm taking her. Two hours passed and we were finally heading back to mind and Y/N's place. "Ok I know you are good at crafting which is why I'm making you help me." "Umm.. help you with what?" "So you know Y/N loves hot air balloons.. Anyways I want to paper mache about a dozen or more and hang them around the glasshouse for her to see when she walks in." "Wow you really planned this out." "Yeah I did. I love Y/N so I want this to be perfect." "So.. Can you help me?" "Yeah sure. Why not?" We pulled into the driveway and ran into the house. We then scurried our way to the table with all of the supplies I took out earlier and started making the balloons.

It took many hours but we were able to make two dozen of them (not realistic at all) "Shoot! She just got off. We have to clean this up." "I can take this home with me so she doesn't see them." I went over to the sink and washed all of the paper mache substance off my hands and threw all of the materials in random buckets. Emma and I started loading the balloons in her trunk and she quickly drove off. I told her to exit the neighborhood through the back way just so she prevents from bumping into Y/N. Once again I slammed the door shut, scrambled to put all of the supplies back in its spot and started boiling some water. I'm not even sure what I'm making for dinner, but I know either way Y/N will like it. Maybe pasta or some la- "Hey I'm home!" Pasta is quicker. "Hey princess!" I squeeze her tight and give her a kiss on the lips. "What are you making?" No idea. "Just some spaghetti and a salad." "Oh nice. I'm going to change out of my work clothes." As soon as she left the kitchen I quickly texted Emma what time Y/N gets off.
I finished cooking and served us both a plate. "Thanks babe" I love when she calls me that. "No problem." "So what did you do today?" ... "I went over to Ethan's for a little and went to work to.. pick up some.. paperwork." She didn't seem too suspicious. We continued to eat and converse. God d*mn she's gorgeous. I can't wait to officially make her mine. After dinner I cleaned up the mess, while she finished up a little bit of work and hopped in the shower. There wasn't many dishes to wash so I was able to get upstairs in no time. I heard the shower was still running and so badly wanted to join her. But we both decided we didn't want to have.. you know.. until we were at least engaged. I know that if I jumped in that shower now I wouldn't be able to control my feelings. I sat down on the bathroom floor with my back to the cabinets. We spent the rest of the time she was in the shower talking about the most random things and shortly after went to sleep. Well at least she did. I couldn't get any sleep. I was way too nervous yet excited to even sleep.
The next day :)

Hey guys! The second part to this story is right after this one so be sure to check it out. I hope you enjoyed it and had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Besides the obvious things I'm grateful for, I'm especially grateful for the twins because they make me happy when no one else could and really inspire me to be a positive person and to appreciate life more. Why spend time hating on people? Life is meant for things better than that so spend time doing what you really love that doesn't involve hurting others. It kind of hurts hearing all of the things Jack said about the twins and all of these fan accounts, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and even though I may not agree with his, he is still allowed to think what he wants. If people want to spend time making fan accounts then do it. Don't let what someone else says stop you from doing whatever you love or want to do. (Unless of course it involves putting someone else in danger.) Anyways I'm just rambling now, but anyways I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and really appreciate everything you have in life. I'll see you guys soon! Byee! 💙 _Succulent_<3
