Being Us

Chapter Seventeen

Craven and I walked around to several stores and couldn't find anything perfect that I was in love with, you know where this story is going, then finally we found a place with a little black dress that Craven picked out. I came out of the dressing room and Cray looked blown away.

"Damn Rina I didn't know you could look so hot."

I scoffed.

"Um gee thanks for the compliment."

It was a short dress that hugged my curves then flowed from the waist down to my thighs. Kind of like a ballerina's dress, not a tutu.

"I love this one."

I said. Cray smiled and pointedly looked at my arse.

"Me too."

"Oh shut your mouth."

We left and Cray stayed with me to get ready and stuff. Which I'm okay with because we haven't seen each other since junior year. I was curling my hair in a tank top and pajama pants so Craven naturally made fun of me. I just laughed along.

"It's been like two hours R. Why does it take so long to curl hair?"

I smiled at his boyishness. It's cute I don't know.

"Well I have really thick hair ya know. I'm almost done, here will you curl the back for me?"

He chuckled.

"Um, I might burn you. How do I do this?"

I explained how to use a wand curler and he did it with miner burns. I've been waiting for Grey to come for me forever and now I'm bored of just awkwardly sitting around. Craven tries to stop me but I barge through the door to Grey and the guys' apartment and he was standing in an untucked suit shirt and jeans. I smiled and blushed because he just looked so sweet. I smiled and walked over, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Hey gorgeous."

I said making him wrinkle his nose.

"Isn't that what I'm supposed to say to you?"

I giggled and looked up into his eyes.

"I can't think you're gorgeous?"

He nodded and kissed my cheek.

"You can... I mean you're much more beautiful than I."

I smiled and laughed, whacking his chest. I grabbed his hand and started pulling him out of the apartment.

"Time to go darling I can't wait any longer."

He laughed and followed me out. We walked over to his car and climbed in. He drove us around for what seemed like forever when we finally pulled up to a fancy-ish restaurant.

"Greyson.. How much does this place cost?"

He chuckled..

"Enough. Don't be so cheap love, come on."

I smiled at myself that he called me love. We went inside and sat down. I always worry when I go on a date, because I'm afraid of being too boring. But I don't think that's the case with Grey. He brings out a light in me that I don't know that anyone else could. I looked around at the people in this fancy restaurant and seen four familiar faces at a far corner table. I ducked behind a couple sitting at the table to my left.

"Rina what are you doing?"

"Shhh! Be quiet Grey... We have to leave. Now."

He looked down at me like I was insane.. And honestly? I'd say I am pretty crazy too.
