"It was such a weird experience you know," Hunter explained.

"What is?" Ethan interfered. "He's telling me about his first date," I told Ethan. "That girl was creepy on another level," Hunter looked disgusted.

"Isn't it ironic that all weird things happen to Hunter?" Ethan stated.

"Hey guys," Grayson said as he sat down on the chair next to me. We were all having breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

"Have you guys seen the new shop around the corner?" Naomi said taking a bite from her pancakes.

The whole table groaned, making me erupt with laughter. "We already got rid of Grace now we have you!" Ethan whined, making me laugh even more.

I felt a hand grip my thigh making me freeze. "Take," Grayson whispered in my ear. I looked down at his hand, he had a small piece of paper.

I took it and unraveled the small object in my hand. "You know I love you, but this might be a little stressful. I need you to go to our room, you'll find a surprise on a blue object. It's comfy and we both sit on it. Good luck princess."

I smiled widely at the paper I had in between my hands. "Come on," Grayson nudged my arm. I nodded and said, "will you guys excuse me, I'm going to my room," I smiled.

Before I left, I went to the waitress and payed for everyone, hopefully they don't kill me for doing that. I payed extra Incase they order something else, and also gave a $50 tip.

I made my way to my hotel room and read the small paper again. "blue.... something we both sit on it."

I looked at the small couch and started looking frantically for a piece of paper. After I finally found it under a pillow, I opened it and read it.

"Good job Love, now I need you to think. It's one of our favorite places to go, I talked about it this morning. It's a high place, good luck."

I laughed as I left the hotel room. He talked about this hill beside our hotel. I walked to it which took about 20 minutes.

When I reached the hill, I saw a figure standing in front of me. He was looking around for something. Once he saw me, his face lit up.

"Ah, Ms. Dolan. Isn't it?" He said. "Y-yeah," I hesitated. I guess I am coming from Grayson so maybe he thought we had the same last name.

"Here, your partner told me to give you this," he gave me a piece of paper. I huffed and took it, "we're almost there, now go to where all the people like to play for money. It's in our hotel."

The casino.

"Thank you," I waved at the man stood in front of me. My legs started to hurt from how much I was walking. "Finally," I groaned in annoyance when I finally reached the hotel.

I walked quickly to the casino, as soon as I walked in, a women saluted me. "Ms. Dolan! How good it is to see you. Here you go," she handed me a piece of paper. "When will this end," I whispered under my breath chuckling.

"Thank you," I smiled at the women and she smiled back, walking away.
"Great, now we're almost there. I'm going to just help you a lot here. The beach that is closest to the hotel, go there."

I groaned and walked out of the hotel and to the beach that was a few blocks away.  "Wait!" A women screamed from behind me.

I stopped walking and looked behind me. "Take this," she handed me a red dress. "What is th-"

"Come Ms. Dolan," she dragged me into a bathroom stall that was randomly there.

"Get dressed and let me do your hair and make up really quick, okay?" She kindly said and waited outside for me.

"And done," she smiled after putting lipgloss on my lips. I looked in the mirror smiling wide. "Mr. Dolan is indeed a lucky man," she put her hand on my shoulder. She looked very proud of herself. "The sun is setting, we better get there," she took my hand and walked me outside the small bathroom.

I learned that her name was Clarissa while she was doing my makeup. Clarissa and I both walked to the beach together.

"I better get going," Clarissa winked at me. "W-what?" I turned around in my heels. She ran away from me as she waved excitedly.

I chuckled and continued making my way to the beach. "Uh Grayson!" I called out after finally reaching the empty beach.

I looked around for him, be he wasn't there. I'm guessing I have to look for another note in a tight dress, heels and almost a full face of makeup on.

I huffed and sat on one of the Long Beach chairs, putting my head in my hands.

"It was almost a year ago... I met the best thing that ever happened to me," I heard Grayson's voice behind me. I stood up and turned around instantly. He had a bouquet in his hand, some petals on the floor with candles on either side of him.

"I was such a shithead for treating you the way I did. I hope you understand that I was nervous and tried to say anything that came to my head. I'm really sorry about it. You really stuck with me through it all Rosé. I was in a dark place before you came. You've made me overall a happy person," a tear slipped down his cheek.

My hands were on top of my mouth, tears all over my face. "The day I met you I knew that you were going to mean so much to me... and I hated it. Why? Because I promised to myself if I fell in love, it would distract me from my job. But what I didn't know is, I should've not stopped myself from loving you, cause in the end, you made me love my life making me love my job in the process," he laughed sadly.

"Thank you for saving my life," tears were still falling down his face.

"Rosé Faith Grant... will you be my girlfriend," he smiled widely.

I nodded vigorously and shouted, "yes!"

I ran to him and jumped on top of him, showering him with kisses. "Ah! Rosé," he laughed.

"I love you," I looked at him in the eye. He caressed my cheeks with his hand.

I took his hand and we walked around the beach. "I'm so lucky to have you," I hugged Grayson.

"I am lu-" he stopped talking as he froze. "W-what?" I asked, letting go of the hug as I looked at him in the eye.

"Get down!" Grayson shouted. Last thing I remember is the feeling if a gun being hit against my head.
