Gracie’s POV:

Everyone was home from their ventures by 5:30PM. The dinner reservations were for 7:30PM, so everyone hurried to their suites to prepare. Kai came in just as I was fixing my hair. I was still in my bathrobe when he entered. When I finally noticed him, he was leaning against the wall staring at me. He was wearing a pair of custom tailored black dress slacks with a cream colored buttoned up dress shirt. His tie hadn’t been done yet, so it hung around his neck.

He looked so damn sexy.

“I’m almost finished!”

Silence.

He stood quietly for a few more moments before speaking.

“Take you time. I was simply admiring how beautiful you look right now.”

Right now!!!

I began to blush; I could feel my ears heating up. I quickly finished pinning my curls up and nervously made my way to the closet so that I could get dressed.

When we first got home, Kayla helped me pick out a dress. Marla had filled my closet with all kinds

of dresses the day after I moved onto the estate, so I had every style. We settled on a laced black

cocktail tea dress. For shoes, I picked these black three inch heeled shoes with a diamond flower in

the back that matched the straps of my dress.

The time was 6:45pm when I finally finished dressing and applying my makeup. I walked out of the closet just as Kai had returned to check and see if I was ready. As soon as we made eye contact; Kai’s entire face changed.

He stood staring at me with his mouth slightly opened as if he was in awe of me. My eyes nervously averted from his. The tension was so thick a knife could have cut it. Before I could say anything, Kai regained his composure and slowly walked towards me. He pulled a black box from behind his back. Inside were diamond studded earrings with a matching necklace and bracelet.

It was beautiful.

“I brought this for you today. I hope you like it.”

His voice was low with a slight huskiness to it. I looked up at him smiling warmly and whispered.

“I love it. It’s so beautiful.”

“May I?”

Kai motioned for me to turn around so that he could put the necklace on me. I slowly turned around and lifted my hair. As his hands lightly brushed across my neck, I could feel the heat in my body surge. My thoughts became dark as my mind became clouded with unsavory thoughts.

Once he finished, we stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity…suddenly, my phone buzzed…save by the Kayla.

I answered quickly, my voice slightly breathless.

“Hey, you guys almost ready? We’re going to be heading out soon.”

“We’re on our way down now.”

I turned to Kai who’s face was now red for some reason.

“Ready?”

He smiled and walked up gently placing my hand in his.

As we made our way to the foyer, everyone’s eyes immediately turned to us. Slight shock.

Marla was the first to speak.

“Gracie…you look…oh, my goodness!”

I smiled shyly thanking her. Kai smiled proudly. Soon everyone began complementing each other.

The truth was everyone looked fantastic. We made our way to the two stretch limos. All the heads

and small children were in one limo while the rest of us were in the other.

The limo ride was fun, we all laughed and joked on our way to the restaurant.

“I’m just saying!!! I see why you woke up bro!!”

Parys joked as he wrapped his arm around Kai.

“She’s gorgeous right!!!!”

Londyn smiled brightly as she handed me a small glass of wine.

Tyler glanced over at Londyn, for a split second…I could have sworn he was blushing. I used this as

opportunity. I leaned over and whispered so that only he could hear me.

“Tyler, doesn’t Londyn look beautiful?”

His eyes widen as if I’d figured out his dark secret. I smiled warmly and nodded my head in approval.

Understanding my eye contact, he smiled brightly at Londyn.

“Londyn…you look beautiful tonight.”

The car suddenly fell silent. Londyn’s face began to redden. Her eyes quickly darted down to her

glass as she sipped her wine.

“T–Thank you Tyler.”

Her voice was just above a whisper.

Kai smiled slightly, he must’ve known as well that Tyler liked Londyn. Parys frowned a bit but then

relaxed his face. He knew Tyler was great guy. He leaned over and whispered something to Tyler

causing him and Kai to chuckle.

“Cam! I met to ask you how you managed to pull a baddy like Jackie!!”
