To say I didn't get much sleep would be the biggest understatement of my life. Greyson slept with his arms tightly around me, not giving me the slightest room to move. Eventually, after hours of being paranoid and distracted by the faint sounds of the windows downstairs being replaced and people cleaning up, I fell asleep.
I woke up to very quiet arguing. I groaned and turned to see Greyson wasn't in the bed and glanced at the clock. It's 11:30am. I got out of bed and slipped a hoodie over my head before walking out of the room. I saw Greyson and Gerald arguing and I quietly made my way downstairs. "Why are you being so overprotective? You will see her back at the party tonight. It's not a big deal." "I don't want her to go today. Not today." Greyson said sternly. I cleared my throat and both set of eyes shot to me. "Juliet, my dear! Would you please tell my brother he has absolutely nothing to worry about if I whisk you away with me to get ready for the party tonight?" I looked from Gerald to Grey and I could tell by the look in his eyes he was not having it. "Grey, you know I'll be safe and okay with Gerald for a few hours." I said hinting to the fact I knew he already had security on everyone. "Angel, I have no doubt that you'll be safe. I just want you with me." He said and I smiled, walking closer to him. I kissed him softly and brought his face close to mine. "You don't want to worry your family,do you?" He sighed and squeezed me tighter, kissing me again. "Have your phone on you always." I nodded. "I love you." I said softly and he grinned. "I know. I love you, Jules." He kissed me again and I turned back to Gerald. "Grab only the necessities, I will take care of the rest." He clapped and I laughed lightly before going back upstairs.
Though I don't think anything will happen while I'm with Gerald I understand Greyson's want to be with me today and I feel it too. This is our home, where I've felt safe until last night. Now that safety has been disturbed and I can't let that go and I know damn sure Greyson can't.
I wasn't in a mood to play dress up but Geralds personality always has a way of rubbing off on you. And he made me put in minimal effort as promised.
"Chris! Would you come here please?" Gerald sung to his other half. Chris came in and his eyes widened at the mess that was now his living room. "Um babe..." Gerald hushed him and wrapped his arm around him. "Our lovely little Juliet has to be the center of attention tonight. It's her big debut as a Reynolds. And I'm having troubles settling on my favorite. She looks amazing in everything!" He sighed over-dramatically. I laughed, flopping down on the couch. Chris hummed and gazed at the options out for him. "Im sorry to do this to you Juliet, given the fact I know you've tried these on half a dozen times already but I need to see the full effect." Chris said with puppy dog eyes. I groaned, standing up again. "These things aren't easy to get in and out of!" I complained and they both rolled their eyes. God, they are perfect for each other.
"I hate to say it since I know Gerald wants to put you in color, but you in black is just breathtaking. You look absolutely gorgeous, this gown was made for you." Chris marveled. "Actually, this gown was made for her, by yours truly of course." My eyes widened, I don't know that. "Why didn't you say anything?" I asked, looking down at it. I hadn't seen any of them on me, only laying in the couch. And my personal favorite is always black but Gerald was really pushing me towards color. "I was hoping I could get you to stray from neutrals and into brights but as much as I don't like admitting I'm wrong, my husband is correct. This is the one. And it's only fitting that the first time you're seen as a Reynolds you look like true royalty. I shall send Greyson the matching suit immediately." He said excitedly, walking away with a phone in his hand. I walked around to the full length mirror and gasped. Gerald had made this for me? It's stunning. And it fits like a glove. My hair and makeup were already done. With the exception of a lipstick shade that hadn't been chosen yet. And I do look amazing. I've dressed up for the past parties well but this... this is a whole new level. I felt powerful. Which is exactly what I needed after last night.
Gerald has sent off Greys tux and I received a text message saying he couldn't wait to see how I looked. Meanwhile I waited for Chris and Gerald to put the finishing touches on their own outfits.
I was anxious as we rode towards the old mansion the event was at. I've been made aware of just how big this party is and just how important. The exclusivity of it is completely nerve wracking. There's going to be paparazzi, billionaires, reporters, celebrities, the whole nine yards.
My thoughts were interrupted by the car stopping. I looked up and Gerald had a shit eating grin on his face. "My brother would slaughter me if he didn't get to lay eyes on you first. And you must arrive together, as the true power couple you are." He said and the door opened. Grey stood there with his hand held out. I accepted it and stepped out of the suv. His eyes went from being locked onto mine to studding my appearance. "We'll see you there!" Gerald said before they closed the door and left. "Do you like it?" I asked anxiously. He chuckled darkly. "Baby, there aren't even words to describe how you look." He said, his eyes meeting mine again. He looked delicious. His suit matched my dress perfectly, detailing from my dress elegantly places on the suit in a stylish and masculine way. And it hugged all of my favorite parts of him. I bit my lip, looking up at him. He groaned, tearing his eyes from mine. "God, it's like you don't even fucking realize the effect you have on me." I smiled, reaching for his face, turning it back to me. I leaned in close to the point our noses were touching, and that's all it took for Greyson to lose it and grip the back of my head firmly, but not to the point he ruined my hair. We've had a lot of intense kisses but this was just wow. The sexual tension was heavy as we pulled apart. "You have no idea how much I want to fuck you right here. Fuck the party, I have everything I need." He said lowly, his face still close to mine. I smirked. "Slow down Mr.Reynolds, we have a marriage to announce. I'm also pretty sure Gerald might track us down if I don't show up." Grey chuckled, kissing me again before pulling away. "That's a risk I'm willing to take." I rolled my eyes playfully. "Good things come to those who wait baby. And trust me, it will be worth it." I winked.
