I don't say anything as I stare at grace with this strange look. "Grace, you can't possibly be serious. Can you?" She looks at me with a stunned expression. I can't help but feel like I really hurt her feelings by asking such a question. There is a silence over us. Finally, she begins to speak. "Jessica..... you will always be welcome here, always! I want you to live with me and I have always wanted that but didn't know the right time. Now that things are kind of hectic with your family I would absolutely love for you to live with me."
Tears start to form in my eyes from her generosity. They start to fall and Grace wipes them from my face and pulls me into the biggest hug. It's super comforting and I could just do this all day. She pulls us apart and stares into my eyes. Is it weird that I have the urge to kiss her right now? As if on cue, she grabs my face and pulls me into the heavy, passionate kiss. We wrap ourselves in each others caress. Grace pulls away and looks at me with passionate eyes. "Jessica I need to tell you something that has been a secret of mine for a very long time." It looks like tears start to form in her eyes but I'm not sure. "Sure Grace, you know you can tell me anything!"
Grace sits me down on the couch and starts to pace the room for what feels like a very long time. Finally I stand up and get infront of her and stop her. She almost runs me over. "Grace it's okay. Please know any secret you tell me will be safe. No matter how bad it is. I'm here for you!" I give her a sincere look. "What if you wont want to talk to me after, what if you hate me? What if....if...." I grab her face with both my hands and pull her into a gentle kiss. "Grace, I mean it, anything!" She sighs and looks into my eyes. " I think I need to think this through and get everything together in my head." Grace blurts out at me. I just nod and give her a hug.
It's around two in morning. Grace and I have just been chatting and randomly making out and cuddling all night and I just absolutely love every moment of it. I hope she is still serious about me moving in once daylight hits. I could live with her for the rest of my life. The next thing I know Grace is fast asleep in my arms and I start drifting off besides her.
I'm woken up by a loud bang downstairs and shoot myself up noticing that Grace is no longer in bed with me. I look around the room for her but it's to dark to see. I call out her name but she doesn't answer. I hear another loud noise from downstairs and what seems to be a growl. I try to muster up the courage to start heading down the stairs to see what all the noise is but can't seem to find it. Another 20 minutes go by along with plenty of bangs with it. Finally I get up.
As I make my way to the door to start my journey I hear a soft growl from down the stairs. My eyes finally adjust to the darkness since I was pretty much closing my eyes the whole time sitting on the bed. Man I'm such a pussy. I get about half way down the stairs when I notice what looks like a human figure runs by. I shriek slightly and call out Grace's name once again. Again, nothing. God this is scaring the shit of me!
"Grace!" I scream out. I guess I managed to make it all the way down the stairs and into her living room by now. "GRACE!" I scream out once more. I hear some movement from the kitchen and start making my way there. I see something that looks like glowing eyes by what I assume is the fridge. "G...Grace...." I say with a shaky voice. I reach for the light and switch it on. Grace is standing there with what looks like wine in a cup and she's chugging it. It looks thicker than normal. I'm so confused and concerned. "Grace....are you okay?" I dont think she heard me. I notice her eyes looked glazed over and they turned from her beautiful green eyes to piercing red with blue specks in them. I couldn't look away from them. I must have not noticed her move from her current spot because now she is face to face with me. She just stares at me licking what I think to be wine off her bottom lip. Her lips are so plump and beautiful even with all this weird shit happening I still wanted to kiss them. Wait, did I just see fangs? No that's not possible but then again none of this is possible. I must be in a dream. She puts her hands up to me face and smiles showing her bright white teeth along with long pointy fangs and then everything goes black.
I shoot up awakening from my terrible almost sexy dream and look around. Grace is laying next to me. I'm sweating terribly. I walk to the bathroom and turn the shower on and hop in. Could any of that been real or was it a dream? It had to be. I shrug it off like it was. Suddenly someone is touching me and I yelp and spin around almost knocking myself down. Grace catches me before I bust my ass. Wait what is she doing in here, I thought she was sleeping.
"Grace what the hell you almost gave me a heart attack!" She chuckles and pecks me on the lips. I can't help but smile back at her fabulous face. "You're crazy Grace." I smile at her again. She smiles back and to my surprise, no fangs. It must of been a dream. Should I even bring it up or will she think I'm crazy. WAIT! Could this be her secret?! That she is a vampire?! "No." I say out loud forgetting she is right infront of me. "No what?" Grace says. "Ohh uh....nothing." I reply. She stares at me and I know she doesn't believe me. "I was just thinking to myself is all. How lucky I am to have you in my life." I hope she believes it. It's the truth just not was I was thinking at the moment. She smiles and tells me she feels the same and plants a kiss on my cheek. Wait.... are we a thing now? Maybe that's another question I need to ask, but not right now.
We spend the next few hours getting dressed and ready for the day. I turn towards Grace and ask "Are you serious about me moving in?" She laughs. I think she thinks I'm joking. "Seriously?" Her face turns serious and she looks at me. "Of course I'm serious Jessica. I want you to live with me. I dont know if you can tell but I have had a crush on you for years now and you would make me the happiest girl on earth by moving in and becoming my girlfriend." I become teary eyed once again and think to myself how emotional I always am. It's actually quite annoying to be completely honest. I pull her into a very big hug and whisper "Of course i'd be your girlfriend and move in with you." She hugs me back very tightly and I almost cant breath. I never noticed how strong she was before today.
A few hours later we start walking to my house. We walk there silently. But it's not an awkward silence. We just enjoy each other's company. Eventually we make it to my drive way and I just stand there looking at my house. " Do you want me to go in there with you?" Grace says while grabbing at my hand to hold. "No, it's okay I'm just going to talk to my mother for a moment to let her know what's happening and grab a few things for the night." I say holding her hand tightly. Grace just nods and let's my hand go. "Here we go" I think to myself as I make my way to the back door. I walk up to the door and look in to see who's around right now. It's just my mother in the kitchen at the moment. "Perfect!" I think to myself. I open the door and walk in.
"Mom, I have something to talk with you about." She just looks at me expectantly. "I think its times for me to get out of this house for good. Grace asked me to move in with her and I think it will be best for everyone if I do so." She looks absolutely shocked. She just stands there and stares at me. "Mom?" I say quietly. She smiles and just nods to me. "Do you want to say anything mom?" She responds with a quick and stern no and continues what she was doing. I guess she's not happy. Whatever I don't really care anymore. I'm ready to get out of here. I make my way to my room and start packing a few things for tonight. Tomorrow I will start officially packing and moving. I couldn't be more excited for it. But I can't help but feel like something doesn't feel exactly right. I turn to start walking out my room and there out of no where Dad is standing there. It takes me by surprise and I jump back. "Where do you think you are going bitch!" Larry growls at me when he speaks. All I can think of is "Fuck me!"
