*Two Days Later*
Grace's POV
"Grace, you're free to go whenever you want." Johnson stuck his head in my office.
"Ok, thank you." I smiled before he closed the door.
It was currently 3 o'clock and Ethan was picking me up for the ball at 6, so I have to get home to get ready. The hair and makeup girls were coming at 4 even though Jordan and I are perfectly capable of doing it. I finished typing up an email before grabbing my purse and keys. I told the Jacks' and Christina bye before I took the elevator to the ground floor. I walked to my Rover that was parked beside Gilinsky's G-Wagon and Johnson's Porsche 911. I got in and started to drive home. After fighting traffic and yelling at a random guy I finally pulled up to my apartment complex. I parked and walked up to my apartment. The door was already open because Jordan only worked half a day to help me get ready.
"Hey, babe." Jordan said as I walked through the door.
"Hey." I smiled as I placed my purse on the counter and slipped off my jacket.
"There are two boxes on the island with your name on them. They were in our mailbox." Jordan got up from the couch and sat down at the island.
I scrunched my eyebrows and walked over to the two boxes. I opened one to reveal a Louboutin box with a note on it.
I told you I'd handle your outfit. If you think the shoes are pretty you'll love the dress. See you at 6.
-E
I opened the box and gasped at the sight. I almost cried at the sight of the beautiful shoes.
"No way." Jordan gasped.
"Only Ethan Dolan." I sighed still almost in tears. I've always wanted a pair of Louboutins but I never worked up the nerve to get a pair.
"Look in the other box." Jordan said getting excited.
I laughed and started to open the other box. I opened it to reveal another box. I sighed as I pulled the top off the second box. I smiled as I picked up the dress. My jaw dropped and tears filled my eyes when I saw it. I've never seen such a beautiful dress in my life. Only Ethan Dolan.
"Oh, My, God, Grace you're going to look like a princess." Jordan said in awe.
I wiped away tears as I hung the dress up and sat the shoes beside it.
"Go get a shower the hair and makeup girls will be here in 30." Jordan pushed me into my bathroom.
I laughed and started my shower. I took off my work clothes and slipped in the shower. I took a long shower because I had to wash my hair, wash my body, and shave everything. I got out and put on running shorts and a tank top. I wrapped my hair in a towel. I put on my coconut lotion before walking out to our living room where the hair and makeup girls had everything set. They had three mirrors, lighting, makeup, and hair products sprawled out all over the living room. I smiled as they sat me down and started on my hair. Jordan sat on the couch and recorded us on her snapchat. I smiled as the girls dried my hair, pulled half of it up and curled the rest. They then did my makeup. They went with a rose gold theme for my makeup. When the girls finished I told them thank you and hugged both of them.
"You ready to go put your dress on?" Jordan smiled as I stood up from the chair that was set up to get me ready.
"I thought you'd never ask." I smiled as we walked into my room.
I took off my clothes and put on pasties while Jordan took my dress off the hanger. She helped me put on the dress. After almost falling we finally got the dress on me. Jordan fixed the straps and zipped the zipper on the back of the dress. I smiled as I slipped on my Louboutins. My outfit ended up looking like this.
I gasped at my reflection. I almost cried. I haven't felt this beautiful since prom and it all was because of Ethan. The man that I once loved, then hated, then didn't think about, and then fell back in love with. I smiled as Jordan fixed a couple of things and handed me my clutch. I felt my phone vibrate. I checked it to see that Ethan texted me.
Ethan😁: Downstairs
"He's downstairs." I smiled and looked at Jordan.
"What are you waiting for? Go get your man." Jordan said pushing me out of my room.
I thanked the makeup and hair girls one more time before telling Jordan bye. I smoothed out the dress while I took the elevator down to the ground floor. When the elevator doors opened I could see this standing at the door leaning on a limo.
The moment his eyes landed on me he stood up and fixed his jacket. He smiled as I walked closer to him.
"I have pretty good taste huh." He smirked as he pulled me into a hug.
"Yes. Thank you for everything." I smiled as we pulled away.
"On a serious note, you look absolutely stunning." Ethan smiled admiring me.
"You don't look too bad yourself." I giggled straightening his tie.
"Let's get going." He said opening the door to the limo.
I smiled as we stepped in Grayson was sitting on one couch with a beautiful girl in a red dress beside him.
"Hey, Gray." I smiled and hugged him.
"Hey, this is my beautiful wife Melody. Mel this is one of my best friends from when I was 18 Grace Foster." He introduced me to the beautiful woman with brown curly hair and bright green eyes.
"Hey." I smiled shaking her hand as Ethan sat down beside me.
"Hey, you're absolutely beautiful." She told me smiling.
"Thank you. You are too." I smiled and leaned back onto Ethan's chest.
The four of us talked and drank a glass of champagne while we drove to the ball. Soon we pulled up to this vast building with people outside of it. I noticed the flashes of paparazzi when we pulled.
"No matter what they say, don't pay the press any attention. They were quite shocked that I brought a date tonight." Ethan whispered in my ear as the car came to a complete stop.
I nodded as Ethan opened the door of the limo. He opened the door and held his hand out for me to take. I got out and linked arms with Ethan while Meldody and Gray got out. As soon as I touched Ethan the paparazzi bombarded us with questions. We walked into the ball ignoring all questions thrown at us. The ballroom was absolutely beautiful. Multiple chandeliers hung from the ceiling, large tables with white tablecloths were scattered around the room, and many people walked the floor. The moment we walked through the doors peoples' eyes were glued on us.
"Ethan everyone is looking at us." I spoke as we walked in.
"Not us darling. You." He spoke making me blush.
Ethan said hello to a bunch of couples and introduced me. Some of them were from the US and some of them were foreign. Ethan and I got a glass of wine and talked to a few more couples. Ethan socialized and talked with me by his side throughout the party. It was nice seeing Ethan being the businessman that he is, but I love it when Ethan acts like the fun loving 23-year old that he buried deep down. Close to the end of the ball Ethan leaned in and whispered in my ear.
"Let's get out of here. There is somewhere I want to show you." He whispered sending shivers down my spine.
