Okay, so the story is almost done. Three more chapters! Each Gallagher Girl will uncover clues about Blackthorne by their boyfriend in each chapter, that's all I will say. So this one is BRANT and sorry but they might be OOC. They are kind of hard to write stories on but I will try my best. J Thanks so much for the awesome reviews in the past chapters; you guys are the highlight of my day. R&R!

Disclaimer: Ally Carter owns the Gallagher Girls; I do not own anything in this chapter (no OC in this chapter).

Bex POV

I was sitting in the chair getting dolled up by Macey. She did my hair in a teased updo and did my makeup in a mix she calls 'Nature's Beauty.' I still silently laugh about that name. Then she chose my dress.

"Here, go put this on."

"A dress? Why do I need to wear this, M?"

"Because, it's your first real date with Grant," she said in her duh voice.

"Okay," I said uneasy, still eyeing the dress. I went to the bathroom to put it on.

"Omigod, Bex! You look great!"

"Yeah, Grant is going to fall head over heels for you."

"I did a good job with you, Bexie."

I blushed but thanked Liz, Cammie, and Macey. Then we scurried off to get some spy related objects from Dr. Fib's lab. Macey chose to stay behind. On our way, Cammie told me something that she had told Liz and Macey when I was in the bathroom.

"Bex, I have a mission for you. Shall you accept it?"

"You had me at mission, Cam. What's up?"

"Well, I as told Liz and Macey, something is up with Blackthorne. And we are going to find out."

"So you want me to find out from Grant?" I guessed.

"Exactly."

"Cam, you are bloody brilliant."

"I try not to show it."

I laughed and Liz chimed in, "Cammie's is really hard, though. She has to get through Zach. And you know his answer to everything."

"Spy," we all said together. We laughed, got what we needed, and scurried off to meet Macey and the boys.

"My British Bombshell! You look smashing today," Grant said in a horrible British accent. I smacked the back of his head. "What did I do wrong?" The others laughed.

After leaving the Gallagher Academy, Grant dragged me away from the group. I got out of his grip easily but then he carried me like a sack of potatoes.

"Grant! Put me down! Right now! I swear I will tell my dad and when he fi-"

"Relax, British Bombshell! I have a surprise for you!"

And then he took me to the gym to watch a fighting tournament.

Grant POV

Sure, she was about to kill me when I carried her, but the look on her face when I took her to the show was enough to light up my world. She stared at the fighting wide eyed the whole time, unable to move. I was about to carry her when she snapped out of her trance. She seemed so amused at the whole new level of fighting I had just showed her even when we were walking to the restaurant. No not the burger joint but the fanciest restaurant in Roseville.

As we waited to be seated, Bex gave me a bear hug.

"What was that for, Bex?"

"For being bloody awesome."

I smiled and said, "Order anything on the menu, Bex. Anything you like."

Well, I regretted that. She ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. I excused myself to the bathroom and thought, God. Solomon is going to kill me.

Bex POV

Grant was so romantic today. But still, I have to help Cammie find out the secret of Blackthorne. Grant got up to go to the bathroom but lucky for me, his phone was on the table. Too easy. I put a bug in his phone that would track all his activities and another one that allowed us to see what already was on his phone. In a way, spies are like mini-stalkers.

Grant came back and we continued our meal.

"I love you, Bex."

What? Did he just say what I think he said?

Grant POV

Oh. My. God.

Why did I say that? It's true but now Bex is all silent. Why must I open my big mouth? I had this perfect day planned for my British Bombshell and now I scared her by telling her I love her. She didn't talk to me on our way back to the academy. I guess I deserved it. I am a horrible person.

"Grant?"

"What's the matter, Brit- I mean, Bex?"

Her soft reply lifted up my dead heart, "I love you too."

Merry Christmas! I need only JIZ and ZAMMIE and then we are done. Not one of my best chapters but I wanted to get it out there. My idea was that Bex loves to fight so it would be sweet if Grant took her to a martial arts show and then a romantic dinner. I hope you liked it!
