Candice and Grant finished filming for the day at about 9:40pm and went back to Candice's condo considering la was still staying in grants apartment. They chucked themselves down on the sofa absolutely exhausted. Candice threw her legs over Grant's and went on her phone, as did Grant.
She went onto Instagram and searched up the grandice hashtag again. She panicked when she saw the first post which was of her and grant coming out of the same trailer and getting in the same car. The caption read: 'yo! Grandice is official peeps!😏😍😭🤗'
"Uh-oh." Candice said.
"What?" Grant asked.
Candice showed him the post and he had the same reaction. She looked through some other posts to see the same thing over and over.
"How did they get those photos? No cameras apart from the ones we use to film are allowed in set and paparazzi aren't allowed near the studios legally" Candice says confused.
"I don't know..." grant said, trying to figure it out.
"Unless it was someone on set." Grant suggested.
"Yeah but we're all friends, why would someone do that?" Candice asked.
"You're right. It'll be fine Candice, I promise." He says, supporting her.
Candice flicks onto her Twitter and scrolls through her mentions.
'@ candicekp you're so desperate, grants just with you for the show!🤢'...
'@ Candicekp Grant still loves la, you're wasting you time.'...
'@ Candicekp you're annoying af, if grant is dating you, he'll soon get bored.'
"What a load of bull sh*t is this?!" Grant yells in anger at his phone.
"What?" Candice asks, her voice breaking. She looks over at his screen and sees he's also scrolling through her mentions.
He looks at her and sees she's starting to cry.
He wipes a tear away.
"Hey, Candice... this is not true! You know that. It doesn't matter what they think. They're just trolls who have nothing else better to do. I can promise you, from the bottom of my heart and swear on my life, I love you more than anything in the world. You mean the most to me out of everything. Don't you ever let yourself believe in anything different!" He reassures her, being 100% genuine.
"Yeah but this is our job Grant. I get enough hate as it is and now people might start hating on you as well and I don't want that sort of life for you." She says, still crying.
He wipes he tears again.
"Nothing, ever, in the world will keep me from loving you. Now can you promise me you'll ignore it and we can get on with OUR lives that they don't control?" He says.
"Yeah. Okay." She says with a slight smile.
He out of everyone is the only person that could ever make her feel better. Listening to him and seeing the reality of his words was all she needed.
Grant pulled her into him for a tight hug and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you so much" he tells her.
" I love you too." She replies, looking up into his eyes.
"Good. So how about we watch some impractical jokers? We could do with laugh right now and I'm starting to get tired." He says.
"Sounds good. I'll go get my blanket and we can snuggle too." She says laughing.
"I'd love that." He says, caressing her arms.
He plants one of his soft, tender kisses on her lips and then flicks on the tv and Candice goes to get the blanket.
Grant puts on latest episode and Candice comes back in with her duvet and plonks herself next to him putting her legs over his again and chucking the blanket over them both. Zoë jumps up and curls up on both their laps. Candice rests her head on grants chest and he reassures her one more time,
"I love you Candice, with all my heart."
His words made her feel so much better and confident in their relationship and she realised that it doesn't matter what the hater think or the "fans" because it's hers and grants life and they should get to chose what to do with it and not them.
"I love you too." She says back.
