Chapter Forty - Being Named As A Beauty.

GRACE'S POV

Once we were announced as the most romantic couple, we were brought up to the stage. I really had no energy to walk, whatsoever. I just felt like giving up and going to sleep. They made us stand together and clicked pictures.

Alex was holding me by my waist and I looked up at him, feeling all the tingles, while he looked straight ahead. He finally caught my eye and was looking straight at me. He pulled me close and my hands landed on his chest. My breathing was as harsh as it could be.

"Aren't you just a beauty?" He whispered slowly in my ears and I looked anywhere but at him since blood had rushed in my cheeks.

"Aren't you just a beast?" I commented once my brain worked properly.

"That's why we make the best couple." He said and I wanted to believe in him and his words. I was lost in him but soon heard people yelling at us.

Aww, they're so cute.

Can't keep their hands off each other.

They just can't stop staring!

He is so possessive!

Look at her blush!

He is so hot!

The last comment made me come back to the land of living. I sighed and pulled a little away from him but he won't let me away from him. He just kept me close.

"Please sign the photos. We'll keep them for display." The manager came and told us. Alex signed, and even I did, too. It wasn't his actual sign though, because anyone can forge it. He was so smart.

The pictures were really amazing. Alex left my side for a moment until then, Laura and Brandon caught up with me. We all were talking. Alex shoved something in his pockets and came beside me.

"You guys really beat us, even. You were so into each other, we all were out and tired and you were still dancing." Laura said with sparkling eyes at us. I smiled tiredly. Alex caught my waist, so I leaned into him.

"Yeah," Brandon said and smiled at us.

"Guys, we're leaving Grace is tired and we have work tomorrow. It was a good evening." Alex said and I just smiled at them. Alex held me close and my face was pressed on his chest and I inhaled his scent.

"Grace, we're going home." He whispered into my ears and placed a soft kiss on my hair and I just hummed. We were walking when I felt Alex stop and suddenly I was off the ground.

"Alex, what are you doing?" I asked him sleepily as I hummed inhaling his amazing scent.

"Carrying my lady, for she is very tired." He said and chuckled a little.

"Is that so? Is it an act, too?" I asked him feeling a little hurt but let out a humorless chuckle. I looked at him and then just closed my eyes not wanting to hear his rude comment or sarcastic remark.

"It is as real as it could be." I heard him mutter faintly.

"Grace, we're here." I heard Alex say and I had no idea what he muttered. He tried to wake me up, but I just groaned.

"I'm sleeping here, tonight. I don't wanna walk." I said it like a little kid and just sat there.

"I'm taking you up." He said as he picked me up and carried me. For all the trouble I've taken today, him carrying me up wasn't anything in comparison.
