"wow, you look really good." caroline says staring at me, "are you sure? do you like i'm doing to much? or not doing enough? or-" i ramble on.

"stop elena, you look perfect. he's gonna love it," she smiles, "i hope." i let out a deep breath. "i can tell you really like him. i'm happy for you," she hugs me. "thanks, car," i hug her back.

i hear a knock on the dorm, my heart drops to my stomach. "don't be scared." she gives me a little shove towards the door.

i walk to the door and take a deep breath before opening it, as i open the door i see grayson standing there with a bouquet of roses. he was wearing a button down shirt, and some dress pants.

"you look... so amazing." he says scanning my body with his eyes, "thank you. you did too," i smile. we just stare at each other for a moment.

"oh yeah. here you go," he smiles handing me the flowers. "they're so pretty. i'm gonna go put them up, you can wait in here if you want." i take the flowers out of his hand.

i go to the kitchen grabbing a vase filling it with water then putting the flowers in there. i walk back, "ready?" i smile.

"yeah," he smiles getting up, "bye car," i say as she's watching tv, "bey guys, have fun." she waves.

he puts my hand in mine as we walk to the car, he opens my door for me as i say thank you. on the drive there we just listened to music, and sung our hearts out.

we pull up at this restaurant, he gets out and opens the door for me. we walk in as grayson tells the hostess the name for the reservations. she shows us to a table and we sit down.

"this place is really fancy." i laugh, "is it too much?!" he ask quickly, afraid. "no, no, it's perfect. i've never been anywhere like this," i smile reaching over touching his hand to reassure him.

i look at the menu, shortly the waitress comes. "hey, i'm kelsey, i'll be your waitress today." she says looking at her notepad.

she finally looks up, looking at grayson first. her eyes linger on him for awhile until she finally looks at me and does an awkward cough.

"so, um, are you guys ready to order." she looks back and forth between us both, we both tell her our orders. "okay, i'll be back shortly with your food." she smiles taking my menu in a snatching form.

she grabs graysons purposely dragging her hand across his. "if you need anything, i'll be right over there." she directs towards grayson smiling.

"okay," he smiles back, i shift in my seat quickly raising my eyebrows. "she was forward," i say with a little chuckle.

"she's nothing compared to you." he smirks causing me to playfully roll my eyes. we start up a simple conversation until the food comes back.

finally she arrives with our food, "here's your food," she smiles. "thank you," we both say. "oh, um, what's the name on the reservation again?" she ask.

we both give her an confused look, "i just wanna make sure that the hostess got it." she points back to where the hostess was.

"grayson," he answers, "grayson..." she repeats meaning what's his last name. "dolan." he says, she smiles lightly. "okay, grayson, thank you." she smirks walking away.

"she totally did that just to get your name." i laugh taking a bite of my food. "eh, who cares. she's not the girl i'm worried about right now." he touched my hand lightly causing me to blush.

"when's your first game?" i ask as we eat our food, "we have a few pre-practices left, then we play the 15th. what about you guys?" he ask.

"i think around 14th or something like that." i shrug, "so i can make it." he smiles, "yeah, and i can come to your game." i smile back.

we continue to eat, we both finish. "heres the check." she lays it down on the table to looks at grayson before sliding it over to him, like she was trying to keep it a secret.

"uh, thanks." he grabs the check, she smirks, "of course." she says in a more seductive tone before walking away, swaying her hips causing me to laugh.

she clearly has seen me sitting her all night, it's pretty obvious that we're on a date. i find it so irritating that some women disrespect other women like that.

grayson let's out a little chuckle before showing me the receipt with numbers written on it. i laugh, "i told you she had a thing for you!".

"it doesn't matter. i don't want her," he says laying money in the check. we stand up and go outside to the car.

"thanks for tonight grayson, it was really nice. even though you had a waitress hitting you," i laugh jokingly.

"oh you thought this was it? no, we're not done yet," he laughs putting the car in reverse. "what? what else are we going?!" i ask nervously.

"just wait and see," he smiles, i let out a scared sigh.

we had been driving for like 30 minutes, "are we lost?" i ask laughing. "no, we're almost there, promise," he smiles looking over to me.

"okay, i'm trusting you." i say, finally we pull up somewhere. we get out of the car, it was a view of the city, it was gorgeous.

"this is beautiful." i say truly amazed at the view, "i know, i like to come up here and think." he says.

we go to sit over at the bench perfectly right in front of the view. "how many girls have you brought up here?" i ask.

he looks over to me, "just you. this is like my secret place, i haven't shown anyone this." he looks back to the view.

"i guess i should feel special then," i smile, "yeah you should." he smiles as well. we just sit in silence for a minute taking in the view.

it was a little chilly, i shiver a little bit. "are you cold?" he looks over at me. "just a little bit, ill be fine." i smile.

"hold on," he runs over to the car grabbing something, "here put this on." he hands me a hoodie with his football number and 'dolan' printed on the back.

i put it on, we just sit here for a minute while his arm is around me taking in the view. he picks up his phone and looks at the time, 11:12.

"oh, we should probably get home, i have morning practice." he says, "oh, me too." i stand up.

we get in the car as he drives back to the dorms, he walks me in front of my building.

"thanks for tonight gray, it was prefect." i smile, "just like you." he says causing me to blush and look down.

he puts his hand on my chin and lifts it up placing a soft kiss on my lips.

i pull back smiling, which is what i've been doing all night. "you should probably go, i don't wanna be the reason you suck tomorrow." i joke.

"that's impossible, i never suck," he slowly backs up. "oh is that right?" i laugh. "bye," i smile. "bye," he winks.

i walk into my dorm, taking off my dress and makeup. "i'll give you details tomorrow!" i say to caroline. "better," she says.
