Curious, chapter 2
Grace woke up, a huge grin on her face, she had been looking forward to today all week. Tonight was the night of the big date, dinner, a movie, and to top it off, all with adrian. She dressed in white and light colors, a light yellow skirt. Now, since she sorted out her feelings and talked to her mom, she was a lot more confident. She came out, only to her mother but it was a start. Yea the whole school, even though it was summer school there were quite a few people, was whispering about it but what business was it of theirs? She thought she heard someone mention that Amy's mom was gay and somehow that made her gay? She had really thought about this during lunch, her mom wasn't gay and she is, so this MUST be a completely ridiculous rumor.
Adrian didn't quite wake so well. What is that rhythmic pounding on her door? She dragged herself to the door in her cami and short pajama shorts to a surprised jack. "H-hello?" adrian asked, kinda pissed to have been woken up for....whatever this guy wanted. "Hi, uh, Adrian? I was wondering, is it true your taking Grace on a date?" "Uh yea, what the hell business is it of yours?" "Because Im pretty sure Grace is in love with me. We....are just a-part for a bit, and really, she cant be serious about this." "Wow jack, that was the single most insulting and chauvinistic thing I've ever heard, and honestly I think she might actually love me, so back off." she spat back, shooting daggers with her eyes and pointing hard at him. "Be serious adrian, she can't love you, your a..." he trailed off. "What...because Im a girl? What is this, the fifties? Lots of people are gay, live with it, I mean damn. Are you really this stupid?!?" "Adrian! This isn't someone on TV! This is Grace, Grace bowman! There's no way she's a..." "The word your looking for is lesbian, ass-clown, and if your gonna act like this don't even talk to me, and don't even THINK of talking to my Grace like this, you will not ruin our date. Try, and Ill break your stupid jock face, OK?" "Adrian I..Whatever!" he threw his arms in the air and walked away. Adrian leaned against her doorway, Jack was becoming a problem, she hoped he would finally go away about this.
Adrian rolled up to Grace's around five-ish, she was dressed to kill. She had worn a green tank-top that was a bit low cut, but nothing too risque with several thin gold chain necklaces, and a leather skirt that came to just above her knees. Topped this off with her favorite black wedges. When she got to the door and knocked it was Grace's mom that answered. "Hello? Oh hi adrian. Grace said you'd be coming, come on in." she opened the door and let her in, they stood by the bar counter. Looking a bit too excited Kathleen asked. "So, how are you?" "Im great, how are you?" "Oh, Im just fine." She simply couldn't keep the secret. She leaned in close. "Grace told me!" she whispered in Adrian's ear. "She is so excited about tonight, shes got me excited!" She backed up and they both grinned wide. "She's really excited?" Adrian asked nervously. "Oh yes, she wont stop talking about it, or you." "Really? What did she say?" just then Grace joined them. "Mom! What are you telling her?" "Your mom was telling me how you talk about me, I think she was gonna say what you told her." "She most certainly was not!" she punctuated it with a hip bump to her mom. Of course Kathleen understood. "Alright alright, but shes already seen your baby pictures, what else am I supposed to use to embarrass you with? She asked open-endedly as she walked away. "So, shall we?" Grace said, offering her arm, only now adrian seeing what Grace was wearing. She had kept her yellow skirt, adopting a lace blouse with white undershirt. She looked gorgeous. After a moments hesitation she looped her arm in Grace's. "Lets." and they walked like that out to her car.
When they arrived at the restaurant grace seemed overtaken with disbelief. "The Cut? No Adrian, no way, there is no way you can afford this! That Wolfgang guy cooks here!" "Relax! Please! I've got this covered, TRUST me, OK?" also I want to order for you, is that OK?" "OK, but only if your sure." She did the little hand gesture she does whenever she is nervous. "Im sure, OK?" "OK" She sighed, she knew calming down was the best move now, nothing should ruin this night, maybe she cold cover the movie? At the least the popcorn? They were seated and a very cheerful, but not annoyingly so, waiter got their drink order. "Oh we know what we want, if thats OK?" "Yes, of course, go ahead." "I will have the Kobe steak, and she will have the Australian Wagyu." "Ah yes, you my lady have exquisite taste." "Heh, I know." she said looking at grace, a small blush spreading across her face. After the waiter left Grace asked. "I don't want to look at their prices, do I?" "No, you really don't, but, if it makes you feel better I was thinking we could cut both of ours in half and trade, that way we both get some of each." "That sounds like a great idea, I've never even heard of what you ordered me, I get that yours was a steak." Adrian gave a small laugh and in a sing song voice. "just wait and see." Killing time with small talk the cooking time just flew by. The waiter laid in front of adrian a steak as long as her forearm, and at least an inch thick. In front of Grace was laid a steak as big as both of her fists placed together. "Bon apetit!" He said as he exited. As agreed they cut theirs in half and traded. "Oh my god its like sex in my mouth!" Grace said without thinking. "I said that same thing my first one, I knew it would be perfect for you, mine's great, but it can't compare to the Wagyu." They would have gotten some desert, but they agreed being stuffed during an action movie didn't usually pan out. As agreed Adrian payed, and tipped the very polite waiter.
The theater wasn't packed quite yet, tickets were bought and they got in line. "Im going to the bathroom, OK?" "OK." Making her way back from the bathroom she got them each a drink and a single bucket of popcorn. When she got back to adrian she handed her the drink she got for her. "Whats this?" "Uh...I won a contest?" she said in an obvious playful lie. "Oh, OK." she played along. "but next time you want popcorn you better let me buy it, Gracie, got it?" "Oh alright." soon the movie had seated and they sat near the middle. At the back Jack and his rebound girl we're sitting. "But I thought you were paying me to be seen with you and try to win your girl back, why are we in the back, I did NOT dress like a huge slut for nothing." The rebound girl said, gesturing to her outfit which, as she pointed out, was quite revealing. "just wait for it, OK? I only want Grace to see me." "Why, afraid her girlfriend will beat you up." she retorted in her best pouty baby voice. Being too busy watching them there ahead of him he wasn't listening and just gave a quick. "Yea." "Wow, next thing you know youll be trying to pay me for sex, you really are a pansy." "Uh huh."
About half way through the movie, while Loki was imprisoned on the helicarrier and the heroes were talking Grace made a bathroom break. Jack followed her, waiting outside the restrooms he caught her as she left. "Hey Grace." she was in a great mood so she was polite. "Oh hi! What movie you here for?" "We're watching Avengers, I just wanted to tell you, I understand that this..." Air quotations. "Girl dating thing is just a phase, im sorry I broke up with you and Im right here whenever your ready to come back." Adrian had prepared her for this while they were talking at the restaurant, but she didnt think he was this dumb. "OK, Jack, whatever you say, believe whatever delusion you want." The rebound girl had come to check on him, as she got close he grabbed her and started kissing her. Grace just rolled her eyes. As he stopped he asked. "Anything?" Wondering if she felt anything. "One thing." Grace toyed with him. "Well?" he held his hands out, nearly in histarics. "You." She pointed at the rebound girl. "your so beautiful, you deserve better." the rebound girl blushed hard and replied. "yea, this pathetic douche paid me to try to make you jealous, but obviously he's just a moron." And ignoring him entirely they walked back to the theater, to their seats. As Grace sat down, Adrian was a little worried. "Did you fall in?" "No, jus t me and Jacks new date had to humiliate him, only took a minute." "HE FOLLOWED US?" "Adrian please." She asked, punctuating her question with a peck on the lips. "Your here for me, right?" "Well yea but..." "Tut, no, Adrian, if you want me to kiss you again, youll watch this movie, its getting really good." "Oh alright, but I owe him a punch in the nose." She said, rubbing her nose with Grace's. Grace giggled. On the way out they were blown away by the movie. Adrian wanted to keep the night going happily. "OK, best two parts." "Oh I love this game. uh.. OH! The part where black widow tricks Loki! That was great, or the fight between Thor and Hulk in the ship." She imitated the voice from the movie. "'Target angry, TARGET ANGRY!'" Her little impersonation made Adrian laugh. "My favorites were bruce banner trying to explain to that guy why he had been green, and now was naked, priceless! And that Samuel L. Jackson character saying 'Ant, boot.' I think we need to buy this one." She said getting onto her car. "Totally." Grace finished tucking the tickets into a safe place in her purse.
They went back to Adrian's place unsure of where this was leading, but it really had been the perfect evening. It started slow, just some TV and more smalltalk about the movie, then Grace was on Adrian's lap, then straddling her lap, Making out with her massaging her ribs through her shirt with rough force, this kiss was the best one yet, Grace surprisingly taking the lead running her tongue across her lip, begging access. Of course it was granted, soaring them both to new heights. Grace laid down on the couch, Adrian crawling on top, continuing the same. Adrian ran her hands up Graces shirt and started her rib massage more slowly with meaning. They kept this up until Graces phone went off, sweet home alabama playing on the ringtone. It was a text from her mom, Tick tock, was all it said but it reminded her of the time, it was almost ten thirty, oh how time got away from her. "Aww, ive only got a half hour til I have to be home." she pouted "OK, well we can same some for later." She said, giving Grace the grand finale of kisses. "Oh my..." Was all grace could say, she had seen fireworks, her life flashing before her eyes, everything in that kiss. Grinning like crazy Adrian took Grace home. Her mom was waiting up, so the girls settled for a chaste peck of a kiss goodnight, then said there farewells.
"So, how did it go?" "Mom?" "Yes Grace?" "What does love feel like?"
