Saving Grace

Chapter 5

Jc's POV

When I woke up the house was quite. Too quite to be exact. I knew Ricky got up earlier because I heard the shower turn on and off. I don't know about Kian, Sam, Matt, Connor, and Grace. I got up and went to check on everyone. All I saw in Grace's room was an unmade bed and a still sleeping Wishbone all I saw was unmade beds in everyone's room except for Connor who always makes his bed.

When I went out to the kitchen and I saw three notes sitting on the counter from Matt & Grace, Kian & Sam, and Connor & Ricky. I relaxed a little then I decided to text Grace.

To Grace ❤️: hey tonight I'm going to take you out on a proper date. so dress and heels please.

I called up the restaurant and made the reservations for us. I hopped in the shower because I decided I'll go to the mall to get some dress clothes for tonight. When I got out of the shower I decided to dress in a plain white tee shirt and some nice jeans. Then I headed out to the mall.

When I got there I notice my favorite store was having a sale so I decided to stop in there. I found a cool looking blue button down shirt so I decided to get that. Since there was a sale so I got a couple shirts, a few beanies, and a sweatshirt. I walked into another store and picked up a pair of dress pants and a black tie.

I got home and noticed that four cars where sitting our drive way. Two more than usual. I went inside and saw that everyone was sitting in the living room talking with three new faces. I went back to my room and sat my bags on my bed. Then when I came out into the living room I heard somebody speak. "Hey Jc, these are the rest of my older brothers. We have Sam, Trent, and Pat." Grace. The three guys raised their hands when their name was called out. "Well it's nice to meet you guys." And I shook each of their hands.

Grace's POV

When we came home from meeting with my mom there was only two cars in the drive way. Jc's car was the one missing. When we came inside Matt introduced everyone else to them. Sam and Sammy bonded immediately. I think mostly because they are around the same age and they do have the same name. We were talking and eating ice cream when we heard another car pull into the drive way. Jc came in the house with a couple of bags. Then he disappeared for a few moments.

When he came back out I said. "Hey Jc, these are the rest of my older brothers. We have Sam, Trent, and Pat." They raised their hands when I called out their names. "Well it's nice to meet you guys." Jc said while shaking each of their hands. I'm pretty positive that Pat shook his hand a little bit harder then normal. "Jc what time is our date tonight?" I asked. He pulled out his phone to check the time. "Our reservations are at six and its four o'clock now." "I should go get ready."

I got up and went to my room. I laid out my outfit (in the media bar) and I got ready for my shower. I walked to the bathroom, I turned on the shower and hopped in. I started to get ready. After I rinsed out my conditioner I tried to get out all the extra water. When I got out I gently towel dried my hair. I put my hair into some hot curlers so my hair would dry and curl at the same time. I got in my robe and went back to my room.

When I got in my room I put on my under clothes and a button down shirt. I turned on my TV and decided to have it on as background noise as I was getting ready. I put on some make up with eye shadow that makes my eyes pop. I sprayed a bunch of hair spray on to my hair. I took my hair out of the curlers and pinned two strands back out of my face. I sprayed more hair spray so everything stays.

I got dressed and I put on my shoes. I put on a necklace and my glasses. "Hey Grace! Jc says it's time to go!" Matt. I put on my jacket and grabbed my clutch. Then I went out to the living room.

I saw Jc looking handsome in dress clothes and Matt who is just wearing sweatpants and a tank top. "Hey guys I'm right here." I said then they turn around. "Wow..." Jc said with his jaw almost to the ground and Matt back handed him. "That's my little sister." "Matt stop being over protective. I'm fine." We took a couple of pictures to send to my mom and to post on Instagram later. "Don't stay out too late!" With that me and Jc walked out to his car.

He opened the passenger door for me and I slide in to the car. He shut the door and ran around the front of the car to get into his side of the car. "So where are we going?" I asked when he got into the car. "How do you feel about Italian food and slow dancing?" "Wait are we going to that new restaurant?" "Yup."

Ten minutes later we pulled up into the parking lot. Jc parked the car and got out to open my door. When we walked into the restaurant we were greeted by a hostess not looking a day over 25. "Hello. Do you have a reservation sir?" She asked Jc. "Yes. It's under Castillo." She looked at her paper real quick. "Yes follow me." We walked behind her all the way to the private couple dinning area. "Here you go. Enjoy your meal." Jc pulled out the chair for me. Then I notice what looked a champagne bottle next to our table. "Hey Jc, why is there champagne next to our table?" I asked as he was sitting down. "It isn't champagne. It's the best sparkling apple cider in the city. Would you like me to pour you a glass?" "Please?" He poured some of the cider into my glass and I took a sip. "Wow this is really good."

"Good evening. My name is Xavier and I'll be your waiter this evening. Are you ready to ordered or would you like a couple minutes?" Our waiter asked us. "I'm ready to order are you Grace?" "Yes I am." "So what can I get you two?" "I'll have the chicken alfredo please." I said while folding up the menu. "Make that two." Jc said when the waiter looked at him. "Alright. Your food will be out shortly."

We talked for a good ten minutes when the waiter came out with our food. "A chicken alfredo for the lady and one for the gentleman." And our waiter left us. "This looks so good." Jc said looking down at his dish. "I noticed earlier that you used Castillo. I thought you legally changed your name?" Jc looked up at me. "I did but I still use it for formal things like legal papers, bank accounts, and of course reservations." We ate in silence until our waiter came back to our table.

"Excuse me but I would like to inform you that the dance floor is officially open and you are aloud to bring the cider out onto the dance floor." He left us. "Would you like me to pour you another glass?" I nodded my head yes. "Would you like to go out and dance?" I asked. "Why do you think I brought you here?" He got up and pulled my chair out. I left my jacket and clutch and I grabbed my drink. "Come on Grace let's go!"

When we finally got out on to the dance floor "Summer Love" by One Direction was playing. I grabbed Jc's hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor. We were dancing the night away sipping on our Apple cider. "Hey Jc what time is it?" "It's eleven. Why?" "I'm getting tired and knowing Matt he is sitting in the living room with a wooden shot gun waiting for us to get home."

We walked back to the table to pay for dinner and to grabbed our jackets and my clutch. We walked out to Jc's car but he stopped me. "What's wrong?" "I want to ask you a question." "Yes Justin?" "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Yes Jc!" I jumped up and hugged me while he was spinning me around. "Now we better get home before Matt has your head on a silver platter, literally."

We pulled up into the drive way and Jc shut off the car. "Grace I had a great time tonight." "Me too Jc. Maybe we can go back there sometime, but for now let's go inside." He came around to my side of the car and opened up the door for me. "Well it's about time that you got home Grace."

Sorry this chapter is a week or so late. I've been trying to get a set schedule but I've been busy with school and band. But as the band season is winding down and I'm getting closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks I'll be able to update a little bit more. I'm currently working on some secret projects which, hopefully, will be out before or after Christmas. I'm also sorry to those who have been waiting for the next chapter of "Stuck with my Sister's Mistakes" but I've been having bad writer's block. I've decided to put that on the back burner for now.

But going with this story, cliff hanger! Who do you guys think was there to greet Jc and Grace? Leave them in the comments who you think it is. Stay Happy!! :)
