Not yet anyways.

HUGE TWIST ON PLOT LINE


Julien chuckled "Your radiant red dress and stunning beauty outshines everyone, I even dare say that you catch more eyes than the birthday girl" Grace tensed, she looked at her shoes and refused to look at the guy who had his arms around her. She wanted Moose to help her, but he was nowhere near her.

"You know, your life isn't as happy as you think love, there's something your brother hasn't told you yet" Julien directed them to the stage but made sure they were far from Luke and Moose.

"The Bank is taking the Vault for auction" Julien whispered against her hair, he moved his right arm around her narrow waist and his left hand slowly traced Grace's arm until he grasped her hand. He pulled her small frame against his lean but strong body.

Grace gasped when she heard the news "No" she whispered with horror "They can't take the Vault, We'll lose everything we have! We won't have a place to stay! What will the others do?! What will happen to the twins, to Alana, to everyone! We will be left on the streets!" she babbled without really realizing she was talking to her enemy.

Music started right at that moment, and the dance had begun.

Julien expertly led Grace through the dance, but she still hesitated on the steps because her mind was completely messed up at the moment.

"You know love, I can help you and your crew"

"I can save you all from the streets"

Grace's eyes snapped up to meet with his "What… what do you mean by that?" she whispered somehow scared, she felt something was wrong with Julien's offer.

"But I have some high standards that need to be met with for me to help you" Grace was suddenly sent to a twirl by her dance partner, Julien then lifted her with elegance, and she straighten her leg up on the air. The word standards echoed on her mind.

In the next second, Grace glanced to the side and spotted Moose who was smiling to this girl who he was dancing with, was faith punishing her? Because the fact that the chick trailed her fingers down her not-official-boyfriends chest was quite a scene that made her heart weep in sorrow.

Sharp moves, head turns, stretched arms, slow but precise steps, they may be talking, but the dance never stopped.

"Forget about that geek for a moment and look at me Grace" he nudged her gently with his head. Grace hummed absentmindedly in response. "I have a proposition for you, one that I know you will not refuse" Julien pulled her pelvis tighter against his to try to snap her out from her miserable dazed state.

"Y-yes?" she stuttered out. Was Moose having fun with that girl? Was she acting silly for being jealous?

"Come live with me and I'll return the Vault to your beloved Pirates"

"I have everything ready and I only need to make one single call to finish the contract so the Vault will be officially mine, but personally, I have no use for it so I plan to give it back to your brother" Julien leaned closer to Grace and nipped the corner of her lips making her flinch.

"But you have to bemine and be with me"

"I save the Pirates from being homeless in exchange for you"

She couldn't hear the music anymore, her heart was beating so hard and fast that it was the only thing she could feel.

Sacrifice herself to save the Pirates and her brother.

Leave the Vault and live with Julien.

Betray the Pirates to save their home.

Leave all her friends behind.

Leave her brother.

Leave Moose.

To save the Pirates from destruction.

"I can also put you back in school"

Grace felt her heart stop.

"Wasn't your dream to graduate from NYU in Culinary arts? Didn't you want to continue your education?"

Her mouth opened but nothing came out, not even her breath.

"I can make that come true, and I would help you happily"

She blinked repeatedly.

"I have the power to help you and the pirates my love, the only thing you need to do…"

Julien dipped her, and slowly trailed his hand up her leg. Grace hugged his neck in other to prevent her fall, but she didn't notice that by doing that, her face was extremely closer to Julien's.

"Is be mine"

Then, he kissed her.
