Chester's POV

I hadn't heard back from her yet, which kind of worried me. I had texted her as soon I had gotten home. I knew that she had seen my text because it was marked 'read' on my phone. I wasn't sure if I should text her again, or just wait. I decided to wait. I started to wonder if I had done something wrong, or if I pushed her too far.

I sat on the couch thinking about it, playing the date back in my mind, checking if I had said something or done something stupid. I sat like that for hours before I decide to go to bed.

I lay there for what seemed like the whole night, with my eyes closed, but not sleeping. She was constantly on my mind, and to be honest, it scared me a little. When I finally got to sleep, I dreamt of Grace, I dreamt of wedding bells and sunsets.

In the morning, I checked my twitter and Instagram before making myself some toast. I sat at my table eating and checking social media. Finally, a notification came in from Grace.

"Hey! Sorry bout the delay! Thanks so much for last night! <3"

I smiled down at my screen, giddily. I felt my heart skip a couple beats. I still couldn't believe that I had convinced her to go on a date with me, and it felt surreal. I got my courage up again and sent her a text back.

"Hey! I'm just editing videos today. Wanna come over later?"

It marked as read almost immediately, and I saw her start to text back. My stomach clenched, nervous for her response.

"Yeah sure! What time?"

I was so happy. I smiled bigger than I ever had and I texted her back almost instantly.

"How bout 12:30?"

She sent a response agreeing to the time and I immediately started to clean up. I wanted it to look organized, but not spotless (I didn't want to look like I had spent too much time getting ready).

At 12:25 I got out my computer and started editing my latest video. Ten minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. I jumped up and opened it, trying to remain calm and cool.

"Hey Grace!" I said to her. She was standing at my door with her laptop bag, wearing a t-shirt and sweats and a messy bun. Most people wouldn't look presentable wearing that, but she managed to pull it off.

"Hey! Thanks for doing this. I hate editing alone." She said laughing.

I turned away from the door, gesturing for her to come.
"Excuse my mess." I said to her, laughing.

"Have you seen my house?" She replied, also laughing.

She sat down on the couch and unzipped her bag and pulled her laptop out. I went to the kitchen to get her a drink. I brought her a Bloody Mary, knowing that she liked them. I placed it on the coffee table beside her.

"Here you go!" I said cheerfully. She smiled up at me, with a smile that could probably cure cancer, it was so beautiful.

"Thanks Chester!" She said, still grinning.

I sat down beside her, and opened my laptop as well. We sat there for around an hour, just editing videos we needed to edit. Eventually she looked over and said "Okay. I'm sick of editing", closing her laptop. I shut mine too .
"Do you want to watch some tv?" I asked.

She nodded and I handed her the remote. I stretched my arms and leaned back, waiting for her to choose a channel. When she finally chose one, she leaned back on her side of the couch. After a couple minutes of watching, I casually inched my hand closer to hers. I didn't want to push it, so I brushed my fingers against hers, almost asking for permission. She looked down and took my hand in hers, smiling. During the show, she had gotten closer to my side of the couch. Every once in a while, her leg would brush up against mine, every time it happened my stomach flipped nervously. After a couple hours of Real Housewives and the Food Network, I could see Grace dosing off.

When she finally fell asleep, I felt her body tip over, until she was completely lying on top of me. Her head was resting on my chest and her legs curled up on the couch. I smiled, knowing that she wasn't normally one to be this comfortable with people right away. Her hand was still in mine and I could feel her breathing against me. This was how I wanted to spend all of my days, snuggled up to Grace. I quietly turned down the volume on the tv and I kissed the top of her head.

After an hour of being asleep, she finally woke up. At first I could tell she was panicked. She surely didn't know where she was or who had their arms wrapped around her. She looked back at me and sighed in relief.

"Oh hey" I said softly as she looked at me. She smiled, obviously embarrassed.

"Sorry for falling asleep on you... You could have woken me up." She said.

" I could have... But I was quite enjoying having a pretty girl to snuggle with." I said, feeling confident. She blushed and sat up.

"Well, you make a good pillow. " she said giggling. She leaned over and kissed my cheek sweetly.

"How 'bout I order some Thai food and we can watch a movie?" I ask her, smiling at her.

" Only if I get to choose the movie!" She responded teasingly.

"Deal!" I said, getting up and reaching for the phone.

An hour and a half later, we were lying down again on the couch. My table was full of empty takeout boxes and napkins. Grace was paying attention to the movie, but I was only paying attention to her. She was lying down, her head rested on my chest. My arms were wrapped around her stomach. She was holding one of my hands and mindlessly tracing the back of my hand with her fingers.

The next morning, I woke up in the same position, with Grace breathing lightly and the sun shining in through the window.

Yep.. Things could not be going better!
