Another random fluffy chapter. For the record, I know many of you aren't going to like this, hell, a lot of you don't like the Grady and Zora relationship period, but this is how it happened. I would also like to remind you that Zora is physically, emotionally, and mentally 23 years old. If you think this is creepy, try watching Big...or don't. That movie just grosses me out. Speaking of creepy, anybody else feel like Marty would have had to go through years of therapy in Back to the Future to get over the fact that his mom kissed him and tried to have sex with him? Seriosly, just...ew. Anyway, here's the chapter. Enjoy...or don't. I don't get paid to do this so I'm not obligated to make this story something you'll enjoy. Wouldn't it be awesome if I did get paid though? I would never do anything else. I would just drop out of school and spend the rest of my life on this site...wow, that's a depressing life, nevermind. :S Now go read.
Zora's POV
"Morning, beautiful," Grady whispered, putting his arm around me and kissing my hair. I sighed happily, not wanting to open my eyes and spoil the moment.
"Do you want me to get you some breakfast?" he asked, starting to sit up.
"Don't leave me," I mumbled, grabbing onto his arm.
"I won't," he promised, laying back down. We stayed there for the rest of the morning until I was so hungry I couldn't stand it.
"We should order a pizza," I said, standing up and wandering into Grady's en suite bathroom. I studied my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a mess, my makeup has rubbed off completely and I was wearing Grady's oversized button-down shirt.
"You know, you look kind of sexy right now," Grady commented, leaning against the door frame. I rolled my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair, attempting to make it look at least slightly presentable.
"Funny, I was just thinking how shitty I looked," I responded. Grady walked up behind me and put his arms around my waist. He was wearing nothing but a pair of blue and white striped boxers and I couldn't help but stare at his abs.
"You could never look shitty," he said, kissing my ear then turning me around so he could kiss my lips.
"P-pizza," I stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence. Grady chuckled, obviously enjoying the fact that he had this effect on me. He kissed my lips again and then moved downwards, planting little kisses along my jawline and then my neck. By the time he pulled away, I had forgotten all about pizza. I rested my head on his shoulder and he just held me for what felt like hours. Everything was perfect again and I just wanted to stay like this forever.
My growling stomach brought me back to reality.
"Can we please order a pizza?" I begged Grady.
"What's wrong with my cooking?" he teased.
"Nothing," I answered. "I'm just really craving pizza."
"Cravings?" he asked. "What, are you pregnant or something?"
"I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen that fast," I answered, kissing his stubbly jaw. It was kind of sexy when he forgot to shave, but of course I'd never tell him that. Since the whole time machine incident, Grady's confidence had gone through the roof, to the point of downright vanity sometimes. The last thing he needed was for me to feed his ego even more than I already did.
"Okay," Grady said, letting go of me and running into the bedroom to get the phone. He hit the six button and held the phone up to his ear.
"What kind of pizza do you want?" he asked.
"Hawaiian," I answered. He ordered the pizza and then hung up, putting the phone back in it's cradle. I smirked at him.
"What?" he asked.
"You have the pizza place on speed dial?" I asked, stifling a laugh. Grady glared at me.
"Shut up." He looked down at the shirt I was wearing and sighed sadly. "I guess you should put on some real clothes."
"Why do you sound so upset?" I asked.
"Like I said," he replied, blushing. "You look kind of sexy right now." I rolled my eyes and headed back into the bedroom to get some clothes. Originally I planned on wearing my favourite skinny jeans and a red V-neck T-shirt, but I decided to humour Grady and keep his shirt on, tying it so it wasn't as long and baggy on me. I found my hairbrush in my purse and ran it through my hair a few times.
"How do I look?" I asked Grady who had just emerged from his closet in a pale blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He stopped in his track.
"Kind of perfect," he answered, smiling. Ugh! There was no way I deserved a guy like Grady after what I'd done to him.
"So...I take it we're okay now, right?" I asked. I didn't really want to bring it up, but I had to be sure.
"Of course we're okay," he answered He took my hand and lead me into the hall and down the stairs. The doorbell rang and Grady received out large Hawaiian pizza, tipping the delivery boy generously. It took us less than half an hour to finish the entire pizza and then we sat on the couch, watching It's a Wonderful Life, the movie I'd planned for us to watch yesterday. I looked around the room at the tree and the stockings and all the lights that Grady had insisted on putting up around the window frames. It was kind of sad that Christmas was over, but now that Grady and I were together again, I was sure that now that Grady and I would have plenty more Christmases together.
Okay, so this chapter serves two purposes. One, to clarify that they DID sleep together, because when I had that whole scene with Sonny and Chad in the bathroom, some people didn't realize that they'd actually had sex until Sonny told Chad she thought she was pregnant. The second reason is to sort of show that they've sort of stopped thinking about the time machine. Reread the last line. Zora seems pretty content staying right where she is for now. Not saying they've forgotten about it completely, they still know they're from the past, but it's just not really something they're thinking about anymore...at least not right now.
Anyway, please review. I'll try to put another chapter up tomorrow, but no promises. Oooh and guess what? I've been watching awesome movies all weekend. Yesterday I watched the Wizard of Oz and today, I watched Pocahantas 1 and 2, just for the hell of it and because I haven't seen either since I was like three. so.. yea. review.
Peace out suckahs!
