Gracie's POV:

Chapter 9: Sleepless Night

I can't believe he did that. Leo Cab actually kissed me, Gracie Darling. I'm a nobody and he is a somebody. When I met him I though he was going to be another cocky guy who's best friends with the most famous person around. But after a while I got to know him, really know him. Though I don't know a lot about him. But I started falling for him. I walked into the kitchen and saw Bridget sitting at the counter eating chocolate ice cream.

"Can't sleep either?" She asked me. I shook my head no and grabbed a spoon out of the drawer. Walking over to Bridget she moved over and pulled out a chair for me.

"So," I started as I was sitting down, "Why can't you sleep?"

"My mind wouldn't calm down." She told me.

"Luke on your mind?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I just can't get over how nice and different he is compared to his reputation. He's sweet, charming, and cares about his friends, family, and fans. You know what he told me?" She kept going after I shook my head, "He said the reason why he acts and sings back to back without much sleep is because of his fans. That and the fact that he doesn't do it to get payed he does it because it's what he loves. He loves doing what he does and that's why he does it. He's just so different from what I thought he'd be. You know?"

"Wow. Yeah, I guess if he loves doing it then that would be why he always is working on an album during or right after every tour. And he has the movies right after the tours too." I told her. She nodded her head, then looked at me,

"So why can't you sleep?" She asked. I was kind of hoping to avoid that question. I swallowed the ice cream I had just put in my mouth.

"Leo kissed me. That's why." I told her. Her mouth dropped open in shock. I took my hand and closed her mouth for her. She shook her head and blinked a few times.

"Wow, you've got me beat. You win, here have the rest of the ice cream, and tell me how it was." She pushed the ice cream to me and I dug in once again.

"Well, if I'm going to tell you I'm going to have to start from the beginning." I told her.

"Yes, I want to know everything. Every detail." She said.

"Well it all started when we were at the pier..." I started. I told her everything. How Leo's ex came up and started talking like a b-word and how he put his arm around me when she turned around. About how when we got off the roller coaster I almost fell down the steps and he caught me. About how we looked into each other's eyes and stayed that way for a couple minutes. About when we got on the ferris wheel and we got to the top how I wanted to kiss him, like couples do. About the elevator ride up to the suite and him saying that he wished we could be together. About all the reason why we couldn't about the almost kiss. About getting off the elevator and walking away hearing him call my name and running towards me, taking me in his arms and kissing me.

"And it was like wow. He is an amazing kisser." I finished.

"Wow. You really got me beat." I nodded.

"You know it's going to be complicated? You are no longer are going to be a private person. Unless you don't take your relationship public." She said.

"I don't know what our relationship is though. We kissed that's it. And after he seemed surprised."

"Well he just kissed the girl that he just met today."

"Yeah, well I'm going to go to bed now. I'm feeling a little tired." I told her getting up and going to my room.

"Dream sweet dreams about Leo!" She called back at me. I could feel my face heating up. I knew I was blushing. I opened my door and went beck to bed. To Bridget's pleasure I did dream sweet dreams about Leo.
