"Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime"
Eli and Grace walked back into the room.
"Is everything ok?" Lily asked,
"Yeah, everything's good. Look guys I'm sorry to tell you but I have class in like ten minutes…."
"We'll go." Rick said getting up.
"Have a happy birthday sweetie and tell this guy of yours we're on to him." Jake said smiling as he gave her a kiss on the check.
"Thanks dad, I'll tell him." She said smiling.
"We'll see you tonight right?" Lily asked.
"Yeah, that's if you're planning on showering me with gifts." She said smiling.
Zoe laughed. "In that case then don't come."
"Zoe!" Lily said.
"She knows I was joking." Zoe said as they left.
Grace lay down on her bed and laughed. "What just happened here? Is this supposed to be a joke!" She screamed up to the ceiling.
"Who are you talking to?" Someone screamed back through the wall.
"Um… sorry." She said as she got up changed and headed to class.
"Ok class I must say something that I don't think any of you would think I would ever say. Your papers were not half bad. They were actually good." Dimitri started to say.
The whole class started to mummer.
"But there was one person in this class whose paper was so great that they actually go an A."
"I bet it was mine." One of the people in the front row said.
"Sorry but yours well almost put me to sleep."
"What you trying to do hurt me, Dimitri." The student said.
Everyone laughed.
"But the person whose story it was, was Ms. Manning."
Everyone turned around and looked at Grace.
"And if you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to read it to the class." He said as he sat down on the edge of the desk.
"Well it's kind of personal…."
"If you're going to be any kind of writer you have to be ready for people to hear your things. And I think the class would agree the more personal the better."
"Ok." She said getting up. "Mind giving me my paper?" She asked.
He handed it to her.
"Ok, I'll start. It has called an unforeseen second chance: I thought I had lost him when he left two years ago. Though when I heard his voice I knew……"
"So let me guess the card on my car, the flower on my desk and the love note in my purse were all your doing?" Grace asked as she sat walked up to his desk.
"Yes, and it's just begun." He said smiling.
"What else could you have planned?" She asked curios.
"You'll see, now you might want to go back to your room, I hear there's something going on in there."
"What did you do?" She asked worried.
"Just go see." He said smiling.
"Should I be scared?"
"No, it doesn't bite."
"That's good to know." She said as she ran off. When she got to her room, she saw that it was filled with candles. She smiled. There was soft music playing.
"So you like it?" He asked as he came up behind her.
She turned around. "I don't know I'm a little scared my dorm room is going to catch on fire."
"Well since my house didn't catch on fire last time there were this many candles lighted, I don't think you have to worry."
"I like any way." She said smiling.
"That's good to know." He said smiling as he walked in.
She closed the door. "So you couldn't wait for tonight?"
"Well I know how your family is and they're known for coming at night and interrupting us so I didn't want to take any chances."
"Me either." She said as she started to kiss him.
"We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this"
