hands to myself • g.d

• twenty-six • part one •

Grayson had forced me to drop him off at his place before his half of the date. He also insisted on coming to pick me up later for his part of the date. He hadn't told me anything else about tonight. As I parked my car I began trying to put together outfits in my head since Grayson had said nothing. I decided to try find a semi-formal outfit that would work if he took me out to dinner or that could work for a causal night out.

I walked up the stairs towards my room quickly saying hi to Zia as I passed her room. I opened my door, instantly placing my bag down and kicking off my shoes. As I looked up, my eyes caught sight of two crisp white gift boxes laid on my bed with a bouquet of white tulips placed next to them.

"Zia!" I yelled, "Do you know what this is?" I asked as she walked into my room.

"I don't know. Why don't you go open it." she replied, a small smirk crossing her face.

I walked over to the boxes gently opening the top one. A note was placed on top of some white tissue paper that seemed to be wrapping and covering something else. I instantly recognised the handwriting, Grayson.

Zara my love,

Happy one year anniversary gorgeous. I've probably been avoiding your questions all day about what I was planning tonight so I'm finally gonna tell you, well kinda. We're going out to a fancy as hell dinner. And I'm guessing that right now you're probably stressing hard-core about what you're gonna wear, but don't worry I've got you sorted! This box should have your shoes for tonight, and the box below should have your dress and accessories. I hope I did well choosing, I have Zia to partially thank for helping me with this. I'm gonna come pick you up at 7 and I've recruited Zia to help you get ready so that you aren't too stressed.

I also just wanted to quickly add that, I thank god every day for you and I still, to this day, can't believe I get to call you mine. Thank you for giving me the best 365 days of my life so far and I cannot wait to spend hundreds more with you. And replying to your prank text is the best decision I've ever made and probably the best decision I ever will make. See you tonight baby, I cannot wait to see you.

I love you to the moon and back x infinity.

Ghost Child. xx

"Damn, you lucky. I hope I find myself a mans this good," Zia muttered behind me, a quiet chuckle leaving her body.

"How did I ever get this lucky?" I quietly whisper to myself as I begin opening the boxes. Grayson had bought me strappy heels and a simple black, satin midi slip dress. The boy knew me too well.

"Alright! Lets get you ready for your night out with lover boy!" Zia exclaimed as she handed me all the things I needed to have a shower.
