We had reached the restaurant.
"Gray, am I too underdressed for this place?"
"No, baby. You look perfect." He smiled. But I knew I was underdressed. When I walked in, I immediately felt self conscious, I looked around at all the beautiful women around me. They were wearing long, beautiful ball gowns and then there was me... I looked Down at me feet, refusing to look at the woman at the check in desk.
"Baby, you look stunning. Please believe me." I blushed. "Reservation for two under Dolan."
"Right this way, Mr and Mrs. Dolan." My skin flushed crimson. She thought we were married. Although the thought of that sounded delightful to me, I wonder what was going through his mind?
She sat us down at a table with a perfect view of the city.
"Wow." The lights twinkled like stars in the night sky. As I went to sat down, Grayson helped me with my seat, and then went to go sit down as well.
"This is so amazing." I felt speechless.
"Anything for you, darling. You deserve the world, so that's what I'm going to give you."
"I lo-" I was quickly interrupted by a new waitress, and I was thankful for that. I didn't mean to say it. Or did I?

"Are you both ready to order some drinks?"
"Yes please!" I said nervously. "Can I please just get an iced water?"
"Yes of course, and for you?" She asked Grayson, seductively putting her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her with an uncomfortable stare. "Just a water as well please." Her hand slid down his shoulder, onto his hand that was placed on the table and back to herself.
"I'll be right back with you drinks." She walked away.

I sat there in silence.
"What the fuck was that about?" He asked and laughed slightly. "She's flirting with you.." I muttered while looking out the window.
"I'll be right back." I said, I stood up and walked towards the restroom. I looked in the mirror, and fixed my hair with tears eyes. She was prettier than me. Way prettier.

I sat there by the sink and calmed down. I wiped my tears, took deep breaths and walked back out to the table.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm okay." I smiled.
"I requested a new waitress because that was out of line and made us both feel highly uncomfortable." I smiled.
"You did that for me?"
"Of course. You're mine. I don't want anyone else. I know you're upset but trust me. I want you, not that random girl. " he grabbed my hand from across the table and just held it. A new waitress brought our waters and set them on the table and took our orders for food.

When we were done ordering, she walked away and I just looked at Grayson. I love him. I thought to myself. I want to tell him more than anything but I don't want him to think I'm too clingy and crazy.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked
"I'm thinking about how lucky I am to have you and how I want to sit on your face." I joked. He bit his lip and winked at me.
"By the way, you were going to say something to me earlier, but you were cut of by the waitress?" My heart stopped.
"Oh, I don't remember." I shrugged and took a sip of my water. He gave me that 'I know something you don't know' kind of look.
"What?" I blushed. He looked deeply into my eyes, still holding my hand and said
"I love you too."
