Grant POV
I couldn't sleep last night. Before I went to bed I talked to LA and told her that we can't date anymore. She was happy because she found someone she like too. Then I called my manager and told him what I was going to do. He was not happy but he knew that if I wasn't happy that it would be his fault. I slept in the guest bedroom. All I could think about was what I'm always thinking about, Candice Patton.
At 6:30 AM, I was up. I decided to go for a run. I ran by Candice's apartment complex but didn't go in. I went back home and it was 7:15 AM. I made breakfast and LA walked into the kitchen with a suitcase in her hand. She gave me the engagement ring back and gathered her things. It didn't take much time for her to grab her stuff because most of the stuff in the house was mine. Before she walked out she gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug. She said "good luck I knew this would happen, you're gonna marry her." She then said that she'll talk to me later and that she was always there if I need to talk. I then sat on couch and watch Netflix until about 10 AM. I decided that I was gonna text Candice and ask her to meet up.Candice POV
I wonder why Grant is coming over. But I have a lot of cleaning to do and I have to take a shower. Crap, I got a hurry. I pick up the living room and the kitchen. Then I take a shower. When I get out, Isee a text from Grant, he's on his way. I look in my closet, I have nothing to wear. I just put on some leggings and a sweatshirt. My motto is that if a guy doesn't love me when I am in my comfy clothes then he's never going to love me. I feed Zoe while I'm waiting and then turn on the TV and start watching Netflix.Grant POV
Before I leave I feed Jett and Nora and clean up the kitchen. I walk downstairs and get in my car. As I'm driving over, I think of what I'm going to say. How am I supposed to tell the woman I have been love with for four years that the relationship I've been in for two years was fake? Will she be mad at me? Part of me thinks that she won't be mad, I think she likes me too. I don't know what I want to happen with us, All I know is that I like her maybe even love her and I wanna see where this goes. I get out of my car when I get to her apartment I take the elevator to her floor. I walk to the door, take a deep breath , and knock.
*knock knock
Candice: Coming!
Candice opens the door. I give her a big bear hug and she invites me in.
Candice: Right on time.
Grant: Yeah, so can I tell you something? Maybe we should sit down.
Candice: Grant are you OK?
Grant: Yeah there's just something I need get off my chest.
We sit down on the couch and I tell her.
Grant: Candice, I need to tell you this. But I don't know if you're gonna be mad or not. So you know how LA and I are engaged. Well it's fake, my manager thought it would be a good idea if I had a girlfriend. But I can't do this anymore, I realize that the person that I want to be my real girlfriend is not LA. Candice ...I want you to be my girlfriend. And if you don't want that then that's OK because I know that I am free now but I just thought...
Candice kisses me.
It's not like any kiss i have felt before. I mean we've kissed before but it's different.
Grant: Is that a yes?
Candice: Grant you have no long I have been waiting to hear you say that. When I first did my audition with you something about you just made me happy. And then you were dating Hannah, then you broke up and I thought it was because of me. I felt bad but then you started dating LA and then you were engaged. I thought I'd lost you. So you really want me to be your girlfriend?
Grant: Candice that's all I've ever wanted. A girl like you I thought was only in my dreams. But I met you and yeah, you're the reason I broke up with Hannah. I was mad at my manager that he made me start dating someone and then he said we had to get engaged and I started freaking out because I knew that it would push you away. So yes I want to be my girlfriend but I think we should only tell certain people because if this gets out you know how cruel and mean the public is, so we'll just try to hide it is much as possible. And when we're ready we can tell people.
Candice: OK so do you wanna tell the cast on Monday? Oh wait don't we have a dinner tomorrow with the cast? Should we tell them then?
Grant: Yeah I think that'd be good. who's house is it at again?
Candice: I think it's at Jesse's.
Grant: Okay. Do you want to do something today? Only if you want to. I mean I don't really care but spending time with you makes me happy and I don't care what we do as long as I'm with you.
Candice: Aww grant. You are so sweet. Do you wanna just stay in and watch movies? Grant: Definitely, that sounds perfect.
Candice: I'll make some popcorn. Do you want anything to drink?
Grant: I think water is fine.
Candice: OK popcorn and water coming right up.
As Candice is making the popcorn I pick a few movies that we can watch. I cuddle up with Zoe and get comfortable. I grab some blankets and put my feet up on the coffee table. Candice comes in with popcorn and water. We watch Grown-ups one and two. Then we decide that maybe we should get out of the house. We decide to go on a walk. We put beanies and sunglasses on so that no one can tell it's us. I'm already in a sweat shirt and joggers. Candice goes and gets changed and I put Zoe away and clean up. She walks out she's wearing a black hoodie and some gray joggers. she looks stunning as always. How did I not see that she was basically my other half? We are wearing the exact same thing. I grab her hand and we walk to the street. We walk to a park and sit down on a bench. We're on the waterfront and the sun is setting, she puts her head on my shoulder and I grab her hand. This right here, right now, is the happiest I've been in a really long time.
