Forever Yours.

Chapter 4: Second "Hello"

Grace's POV

Im shaking as the phone rings. My throat goes dry. "This is the O'Neil residence. George speaking." My heart starts pounding in my chest. "Hi," i say. "This is Grace. I wanted to speak to Conner? Is he busy?" The other end falls silent. "Hold on. Let me check," says George. I hear him yell Conner's name. 'This is crazy,' i tell myself. 'What am i thinking?!' I hear a different voice come on the other line. Its the voice that i love so much, but barely know.
"Hello," says Conner. I cant speak. My lips move but nothin comes out. "Hello?" "Um.... Hi... Its Grace.." I say. 'Shit. No turning back now' i think.

Conners POV

A smile forms across my face. Shes nervous. I can hear it in her voice. Its so cute.

"Hey Grace." I say. "Glad you called." She doesn't say anything. "Grace?" I ask, making sure shes still there. "Yeah, sorry. Um.. I have a question," she says. I smile. "Yea whats up?" "Um. Well.... Wh- why did you leave me your number?" I kinda chuckle in the phone. "Well... I was kinda hoping you would call so i could ask you out on a coffee date," i tell her. She falls silent again.

Graces POV

'A coffee date?!? What?!?!?' I yell at my self. "Grace....?" I hear Conner starting to get worried. "Oh. Yea. Sorry." I say, still nervous. "So," he continues, trying to break the awkwardness. "That coffee date?" I smile. "Um yea sure. How does tomorrow at noon sound?" I ask him, hoping he will approve. "Sounds perfect," he says. He's happy now i can tell. "I'll meet you there." I says. "Okay. I have to go. I'll meet you there. Goodbye Grace. Until tomorrow." "Okay," i say with a smile. "Night Conner." Click.

The next morning i wake up around 9:00 am. I walk out of my room and check my moms. "She's not home. Shocker," i say aloud, with an eye roll. I check Linda and Charlie's room. They must have stayed the night at their friends house. I walk into the bathroom look in the mirror and smile really big. 'I get to see him today. Im so excited.' I think to my self as i turn on the water and let it heat up. I walk back into my room and get my clothes. I go back into the bathroom to find my mother sitting by the toilet, puking. 'Shit.' I throw my clothes on the bathroom counter and help my mom by holding her hair.
After she gets done throwing up i put her to bed. I take a shower and finish getting ready for my date with Conner. I put on my favorite teal shirt with sparkles along the neck line with skinny blue jeans. I throw on my beige sandals. I blow dry my hair and put it in a side french fish tale braid. I dont wear much makeup but i put song lipgloss on and some mascara. Before i leave, i leave a note in Linda's and Charlie's room:

Linda and Charlie,
I know its my day off, but im out meeting an old friend. I'll be home soon. When i left mom was in bed, so i dont know if she is still home. If you want, you can go back to your friends houses. I'll call later. Behave. Love you both.
Grace.
