Happy Birthday!

Candice POV
We have to film today. Which I'm not mad about cause it would be the only time I would see Grant on his birthday, ever. LA is so protective over him and she gets so jealous of me and Grants friendship. If that's what you want to call it. Let's just say Grant and I, don't just see each other while filming. Sometimes we see eachother at our condos. Alone. Nothing has ever happened since that one time 2014 after Grant and Hannah broke up. But other than that it's been just watching movies while LA "developes her career" in California.

To start my day I have to go to set at 5 am. Which is normal, but it never gets any easier. I drive there as the snow starts to fall. I park in my spot, right next to Grant. He's late. LA is probably making him breakfast or giving him her birthday present for him (you know what i mean). Ick. I walk to my trailer and turn on the fireplace to heat up the trailer which is basically a freezer. I then walk to the makeup trailer and start to get ready for the day.

I have been in here for about 20 minutes and my hair is almost done. Grant walks in and sits next to me. I didn't notice him cause I was reading my lines. He taps me on the hand.
Grant: "Hey"
Candice: "Oh my gosh! I didn't even see you. Happy Birthday!"
I kiss him on the cheek.
Grant: "Thank you!"
Candice: " Of course! What did LA make you for breakfast?"
Grant: "Oh, she's actually not in Van right now. She had work in Venice that she needed to do."
Candice: "Oh, I'm sorry. It sucks that she couldn't fly out to see you just like you did for her birthday."
Grant: "Yeah. But I am having a dinner tonight and the whole cast is invited. It's at the Italian place on the water."
Candice: "I'll definitely be there."
Grant: "Perfect."
Grant leaves because he forgot his script in his car. He leaves his phone on his chair. He starts to get a bunch of texts from LA

" Happy Birthday my little boy! I love you so much! Wish I could be there today. I'll see you soon, forever boyfriend ❤️"

Okay who talks to their HUSBAND like that. Whatever. If Grant is happy then I'm happy for him. He gets another text from LA.

"Also, you better not hang out with Candice tonight because you know how angry that makes me. I know that she has it out for me and want to ruin your happiness. I want us to be together forever. Love you!"

Okay, wow. Harsh. I really don't like this girl. And she has everyone in this cast wrapped around their finger.

Grant comes back and smiles at me as he sits down. He grabs his phone and his smile instantly turns into a frown.
Candice: "Your phone was going crazy while you were gone. Who's that eager to talk to you?"
Grant: " Oh, yeah. No one really just some friends."
He sets his phone down and starts to read.

The filming day for me went by pretty fast. I was out of there by 10am. Grant had to stay there till 4ish. I went home and snuggled with Zoe on the couch. The dinner was at 6pm so I had a while to run some errands. When I got back home, I posted on Instagram my happy birthday to Grant. Just to stir up some talk about us. I really do miss him. Us. Before LA. He was so happy and fun to be around. He was my happy ending, I know that. But then this girl came into his life and it was like a switch when off in his head. He stopped talking to me and things just felt different. I know that he loves her and I'm happy for him. I just don't think he's supposed to be with her for the rest of his life. He knows it too. When it's just me and him, he's flustered, he's smiling and he seems at peace. Anywhere else, sad and quiet. I start to get ready for dinner because it is now 4:30pm. I text Grant.
Candice: " Hey birthday boy, I'll pick you up for you special dinner tonight at 5:30."
Grant: "Aww thanks C."
I smile and hop in the shower. I make sure to keep my hair dry since it's already done from this morning. I just clean it up a bit. I put on some makeup and then go look for a dress to wear.
Red. Velvet. Dress. Perfect. Grant literally drools when I wear this. I put it on and some back high heels. I make dinner for Zoe and then head out. I drive to pick up Grant. I'm a little early so I wait in the parking garage where we always meet. 10 minutes later he walks out of the elevator and looks amazing. He is wearing a black suit with is white shirt and a black bow tie. Now I was drooling. He gets in the car and his eyes widen.
Grant: "Wow, you look...amazing"
Candice: " I could say the same about you hot stuff."
He blushes and I start to drive to the restaurant.
We get our table and the rest of the cast start to show up. I am sitting next to Grant and his leg keeps brushing up against mine. Maybe accidental, but maybe not. I put my hand on his thigh and he practically chokes on his water.
Carlos: " Dude, what just happened?"
Grant: "Uhh nothing. Went down the wrong pipe."
He then grabbed my hand and intertwined or fingers. He rubbed his thumb on the back side of my hand and I forgot that he had a wife. I forgot that we had to be just friends. I forgot about everything and I think he did too. I let go of his hand and his face saddens. I'm sorry too.
The dinner continues and as we finish our food, all the waiters come around the table and place a little piece of cake in front of Grant. We all sing happy birthday.
Grant: "Okay who told them?"
No one says a word. I wink at him because I told them. His smile makes my heart explode and I wanted to see that. Also embarrassing him is one of my favorite things to do. Carlos pays for all of our dinners even after Grant was very persistent on paying for everyone. We all say our goodbyes. Grant and I walk hand in hand to the car. We get in the car and start to drive. When we get to the garage we sit for a minute.
Grant: "Wanna come upstairs for a glass of wine?" Candice: "Oh you know I would love too but, I don't think that's a good idea. You look really handsome right now and you're married. And we're just friends."
Grant: "You're right. But as a friend, it would be wrong to let me drink by myself on my birthday."
Candice: "Okay, that's good enough."
I hop out of the car and we walk to the elevator. Grant walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. I screech.
Candice: "Ahhh! Grant."
He turns me around and kisses me. I push him off.
Candice: " We can't. You can't."
Grant: " I know but I can't stop thinking about you. Ever."
Candice: " You have a wife. You're married."
Grant: " Yeah cause that relationship is soooo real."
Candice: " She won't even see me on my birthday and I'm supposed to believe that we are in love. Yes, there are times where I am truly happy but she keeps making me post about her workouts and stuff. I don't wanna think about her right now. I want to go back to you and I."
Candice: "Grant, we cant. I just got out of a scandal. I can't be thrown into another."
Grant: "She won't find out. I promise. And if she does then so be it. Maybe it will be a sign."
I think for a few seconds and then nod my head.
Candice: " I don't know why I am agreeing to this. Probably because I am totally in a trance with you Grant Gustin. You make me crazy and I'm always thinking about you."
He kisses me and picks me up. We walk toward the door to his condo. While he unlocks the door I kiss his neck and nibble on his ear. He closes the door and sets me down. I grab my shoes and put by the door so I don't forget them. He grabs my hand and runs me to the bedroom. We stop at the foot of the bed. His back facing the bed and mine the wall. He takes of his shoes and his jacket. And slides his pants off. I push him back on to the bed and then slowly slide my dress off. I crawl on top of him and whisper over his lips...
"Happy Birthday Grant Gustin."
