Fake Love | G.D

[nineteen]

-2 months later, 6th of May

My hand is extremely shaky as I carefully apply my lipstick. I can't mess it up, I need to look perfect tonight. I'm finally going on my first real date with Grayson.

We've been really dating for 3 months now but we're almost 5 months into the contract.

It's been the busiest 2 months of my life. I can't even remember how many times I've been back and forth from LA to New York with fashion shows. Grayson insists on coming to every single show even though he doesn't have to, but he keeps me sane.

It's been stressful but more fun than anything else. We make time to visit his parents in New Jersey with every trip we make to New York. They said it's the most they've seen of Grayson in years and they love it.

Once we're in New York we usually stay with my dads or if we want our own space we'll stay in the hotel Amanda always books for us.

Amanda has since apologised for the way she reacted to the news that we were dating but still refuses to cancel the contract.

The contract surprisingly hasn't gotten in the way of our relationship, it's just annoying because Amanda basically controls us. She chooses where we go, what we eat and Roxy styles me every time so I can't even choose what to wear.

We've been so busy with dates and public appearances for the contract that we haven't had time to go on a real date, that's why tonight has to be perfect.

When we're on dates it doesn't feel like we're there as part of the contract except for the paparazzi following us everywhere. The majority of Grayson's fans love us together so Amanda tips them off whenever we're going on a date.

The money hasn't been a problem to us. I donate every pay check to charity like I said I would. Most of my pay checks range from 1000-2500 dollars and with my money from all the fashion shows it's not fair that I keep it with so many other people in need. Grayson and I pick a new charity every week to donate to like hospitals, animal shelters and homeless shelters.

Grayson told Ethan we're dating. He seems really happy for us, but we haven't told Madison yet. Honestly, I'm scared to tell her. We've just become really good friends and I don't want this to ruin it. She confessed to Grayson that she had feelings for him but he told her he doesn't feel the same way. She took it well, but I don't think she'll take the news that we're dating well.

There's a knock on my door pulling me away from my thoughts. Marley rushes to it barking as usual and I follow him. I open the door to a very handsome Grayson. He's wearing a white shirt, skinny black ripped jeans and he's holding a bouquet of red roses.

"You got me flowers?" I smile.

"It's our first date, I have to do it right" he smirks leaning in to kiss me but I pull away as he looks at me confused.

"You can't ruin my lipstick" I giggle taking the flowers off him. I'm like a little school girl around him, always giggling with butterflies in my stomach. "Thanks for the roses, they're beautiful" I tell him while putting them into a vase.

"See that Marley? I got roses and everything but I don't even get a kiss" he remarks to Marley jokingly before sneezing with his allergies.

"You'll get it later" I smirk grabbing my purse and keys off the table.

"Don't forget your phone" he adds when he sees it on the table as we're leaving.

"I don't need it" I shrug and he smiles.

"I don't need mine either" he takes his phone out of his pocket and leaves it with mine, "I'll get it later when I come back for that kiss" he teases smacking my ass playfully as I walk out of my apartment in front of him.
