Chapter 8 | Tequila

G R A Y S O N

After Ophelia left from my place last night I realized how in love I am with her, I don't know much about her but I know she's mine and I'm hers even though she might not know it but someday she will.
When she left all I could think was about her, but I don't know if falling in love would be the right move right now, I couldn't sleep that night and I got a call at 2 am
"Can't sleep either"I said after I saw the name it was my Ophelia
"Nope but good thing I didn't because I have an idea on how we're going to open a deal with marshall and Brooke"
"Okay?? enlighten me"I laughed she did too
"There's this party in the police department something about capturing a serial killer that's been loose for years, so anyways we tell Brooke to try to get him alone and open a new deal with him on the same company he wanted to blackmail before, we're going to be beside them but we will need to be undercover because they didn't invite us and we need to be there so we can help Brooke and keep an eye and an ear on her"
"Okay thats good when is the party"
"Tonight at 7pm"
"Okay then I'll come pick you up at 6:30 dress nicely"
"Of course I will, I always dress nicely but don't come wearing a yellow suit"
"I wish, I tried looking for a yellow suit and didn't find anything "
"Okay okay I'll be ready, don't and I mean don't be late Mr Shaky hands"
"I won't how could I"
"Wait Grayson"
"Yeah?"
"We'll have to fake a relationship"
"Relationship?as in boyfriend and girlfriend"
"Yes sadly, because we won't be Ophelia and Grayson we'll be some random couple"
"Okay then girlfriend we'll see you there"
She laughed and hung the phone with no comment

I got ready with a black suit with a white button up with a gold chain and a watch.
When I got into the car I made sure to clean it and polish it before I went and picked up Ophelia.
When I knocked on the door
And a late but gorgeous Ophelia opened the door wearing a white silk flowy dress with a white corset holding her waist the dress was off the shoulders in the most magical way possible and a slit that goes up to her inner thighs she was wearing a simple white and shiny stiletto with a simple diamond necklace and earrings set
She looks gorgeous, she looks mine and I'll make sure of that
"Heyy, I know I'm late and I told you I won't but I still didn't pick a bag wanna help me"
"Sure yeah"
I got into the house and said hi to Caroline and that seems to also be dressed up
"You coming with us?"
"Nah I'm off to a date with Alexander, you should meet him he's German too you know"
"We'll see"I then came closer to her ear and said "maybe we'll go on a double date"
I smirked and looked at Ophelia that's rushing to bring a couple of purses for me to choose from, Caroline looked impressed
"Touch her and I'll hear about it hurt her and I will kill you"
"I won't Ms bodyguard"
"Yeah you too sunshine to hurt her I'm on your side"
"Can you stop talking about whatever you guys are chatting about and come help a girl out"
"So do I go all white or go with a black purse or maybe some drama"she pulled out showing me 3 bags a white with a gold chain a black clutch and lastly a sparkly purse as sparkly as it gets
"As Grayson I'd choose the sparkly one but as Ophelia I'm guessing you would've picked the black one so the sparkly one it is"
"Okay good now let's go because we're 30 min late and Brooke called me like 10 time already"
"Okay the car is ready come on"
"Bye Coraline have fun don't forget to pick me up when you come back you promised"
"Yes babe don't worry I told Alexander"
"Byee"

The car ride was silent but maybe because she was finishing up her makeup and the police department wasn't all that far,when we got there we did not try to blend in, Ophelia had contacts in and I did too but she also had her hair down to cover her face.
"Okay Brooke is over there I'll go give her these ear thingies and you take this"I said with full seriousness because once I actually felt this might work
"Do you have one on?"
"Yes I do, and please don't take it off and stay with me we want them to buy the new persona we have"
"Okayyyy I'll go get drinks while you go talk to Brooke"
"Okay"
I went to go see Brooke to tell her the updates, after that I found Ophelia waiting with two drinks in her hand in the corner looking as gorgeous as ever,
I've really fallen hard this time
"Your backkkk"
"Yep scary lady,I sure am"
"Don't call me m that here what if someone knows"
"Fine only because it's been an hour and nothing has happened"
"Yep luckily we....."
"Ophelia is that you?"
"Fuck that's marshall kiss me come on kiss me"
"Fuck it"
I kissed her and made sure it looked real because to me it was even though it might not have been to her,
it was strong and I had my hand on her waist and the other on her cheek holding her up making sure it looks like we're intimate
I can do this forever her lips are like silk on mine damn it she's addictive
"Did he leave"
She said while keeping her head on mine with the slightest whisper
"Yes looks like it"
"Fuck we would've been locked up by now"
"Oh Grayson you're so dramatic"
"You seem you liked the kiss Ms scary lady"
"Nahh I've kissed way better guys that was mid"
"Nothing about me is mid, want a another one to test it?"
"Ew I would rather die"
She smirked at me with the ha ha look I adore

We stayed there chatting and watching Brooke for almost an hour then my phone rand and it was my landlord something about rent so I had to leave but she told me Caroline is picking her up in a bit so I didn't need to worry,
I left to see the landlord which took an hour because that prick was worried Alec my cat will disturb people plus rent this month I tried calling Ophelia to see if she needed someone to pick her up but she wasn't answering she opened the call but just never talked just noises so I got worried so after the landlord i went back to the party to see what looks like a drunk Ophelia sitting on the side of the road holding a bottle of what seems like tequila
"Ophelia what the fuck I left you alone for an hour and your wasted, come onn why are you drinking"
"Me? drinking neverrrrrrr alcohol tastes wierdddd"
"Well seems like you love the taste of wierd looking at the state of you"
I was holding her, helping her walk to my car with one hand on her waist and hers on my shoulder
"Ooo you strong man where are you taking me"
"Home, where you'll sleep and stop drinking"
She suddenly came closer to my ear and whispered "I always keep booze in my room so if your going to leave me in my room I'm going to drink the whole bottle" she kept laughing and laughing
She looks cute yes but she's drunk so I decided to take her to my house just so I can keep an eye on her
"We're going to my home"
"Oooo finally strong man says something interesting I'm excitedddd"
"No I didn't your going to bed"
"Youuuu ruineddddddd ittttttttt"
"Why are you even drinking you never drink this much?and where is Coraline why didn't she pick you up"
"Coraline? she's with her boyfriend she forgot about me I'm guessing"
She says it in disgusted tone, she seems really annoyed Caroline isn't spending much time with her
"Okay we're almost there"
"Strong man?"
I laughed at the obnoxious nicknames she calls me every once in a while
"Yes?"
"Who are you"
"Idk you tell me"
"You look like the guy I work with"
"Really?tell me about him"
I didn't think much of it but some part of me got jealous and the other part thought she was talking about me
"He's tall he's soooo handsome he is kind he has a cat named Alec like whoooooo doesssss thatttttt that's a name of a person, but maybe I'm scared"
"Why are you scared "
"Because I might be falling in love with him so deeply and I'm scared because I don't know if I'm what he deserves because honestly I'll do anything I'll kill anything for him at this point"
"Well he seems like a lucky guy you should tell him"
"Nooooooooo no no noooo"
She started waving her finger while elongating the no's
She's cute when she drunk, I took a picture of her to remind her of today and to keep to myself
"Why notttt" I said humoring her because to me it was funny and the most adorable thing I've seen
"Because because I told him I stepped on my feelings ages ago and I feel yes I feel like I might hurt him and he doesn't deserve to get hurt he's SUNSHINE he he is like a pandaaaa oooo pandaaa you know fun fact about panda's is that they love long hugs and they get attached to thier caretaker awwwww"
She kept talking about wierd facts and laughing out of the blue
It was the cutest thing I could ever witness
"It's time for bed Ophelia, do you want me to sleep next to you?"
"Nooo I don't sleep next to random guys who look like Grayson I sleep next to Grayson shhhh"
She shushed me, so I just left out of the room with the biggest smile anyone could have
I'm going to make her mine someday I promise, I don't care if I sound jealous but she is mine but I haven't told her that yet
