Unexpected Love

Chapter 14: Misha's P.O.V

We order our food and take a seat. I can't help but smile at Grace. To pass the time, we play a game where we ask each other questions. After about asking twenty, I ask her how many boyfriends she has had. I was just curious. "This is embarrassing, but none." she says, blushing and looking down. For some reason, I am very surprised , and she asks why. It just slips out of my mouth, but I say, "It's just because you're so pretty." She looks astonished for a second. Eventually, she looks up with a shy smile, her face red and says, "Thanks Misha...that's really nice." My face suddenly gets hot and my stomach feels weak. We finish up our food and head out the door. "Thanks a lot for taking me here." Grace says, smiling. "Of course! We should do this again." I reply. "I would love that." she says, giggling. I drive her back to the hotel and walk her back to the room. "Hey Mish, uh, I just want you to know that I live super far away, in California, and I don't know if we'd be able to see each other again. You'd have to take a plane, and that would be too much for you." Grace says sadly. "You live in California? Well, I live there too!" I reply, very happy to know she lives in the same state as me. "No way!" she half yells, an extremely excited look on her face. "Yes way!" I say, giving her a big smile. We both laugh. "What's your number?" I ask her. She gives it to me and I put her as a contact in my phone. "See ya soon Gracie!" I say, giving her a hug and holding on for a couple of seconds. As I pull back, I give her a light kiss on the cheek. "Bye Misha." she replies, giggling. I was starting to really like this girl.
