Chapter 21

G R A Y S O N

I woke up, Jean's arms still wrapped around me. I looked at the clock and jumped, causing myself to roll off the bed and go face first into the floor.

I was going to be late. I had fifteen minutes before I had to be there.

"I'm going to be late!" I shouted as I ran to my closet to get a suit. I slid off my sweats and slipped on the suit pants. I was thankful that I didn't have a shirt on for once. I slid on the white shirt and frantically started buttoning it.

I head Jean's gruff voice, "What's wrong?" He asked, wiping the tiredness away from his eyes.

"I'm going to be late!" I cried out.

He looked at the clock and jumped out of bed. He slipped on his hoodie and came to my rescue. He finished buttoning my shirt. He tied the tie around my neck faster than I ever could and he handed my my suit jacket as he slid my phone in my pocket and kissed my cheek. He fixed my hair and handed me my socks and shoes.

I looked at the clock and saw that I had ten minutes. I could have never gotten ready that fast without him.

I put on my shoes and pulled his lips to mine, "Thank you, see you later." I smiled and walked down the stairs and walked out and into the limo.

"Running late I see." Harry smiled at me through the rear view mirror and I narrowed my eyes at him and he smiled.

"Sorry." He smiled and I smiled slightly.

He got me there with a couple minutes to spare, "Thank you." I said before running inside.

Katherine flashed me a happy grin she opened her mouth to talk but I shook my head, "Later." I said as I walked to Rhys' office.

He was sitting at his desk, going through paper work. He looked up at me and smiled, I sighed in relief when he didn't mention my tardiness.

"Sit, I have good news." He smiled and I sat across from him.

"What is it?" I asked, waiting anxiously.

"I've gotten good feed back from customers about you and I think you are ready to something a little more and wait the tables instead of seating them."

I smiled, I knew that being a waiter for this restaurant paid good and I would be making a lot more than a host with all the tips I would hopefully make.

"Would you like to take this offer?" He asked.

I nodded my head and smiled wider, "Yes, of course. Thank you." I felt like I had been saying that a lot.

"You will start next week. See you later Grayson." He smiled.

"Thank you again Mr. Dellavedova." I said and walked out of his office and to Katherine, a huge smile on my face.

"What was that about?" Katherine asked.

"I got a promotion." I cheered.

She hugged me, "Congrats! But this doesn't mean you will ignore me does it?"

"Of course not!" I said.

"So how was France?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes, "Stop that."

"Tell me." She begged.

I sighed and smiled at her and told her everything. Even what happened last night.

"Oh Grayson. It will get better, you won't feel like this forever. Jean is really nice, your lucky to have someone as good as him."

I realized she was right, I was lucky to have someone as sweet and as understanding as him.

Finally the restaurant opened and it was quite a busy day.

When work was over Harry was in the car, waiting paciently for me to come out of the building.

I got into the car and he drove me home.

When I got home I discovered that Jean was working out. Since he hadn't gotten to in France he was catching up to his schedule. Not thay he needed any more of a work out, he looked amazing as is.

I decided to change and go up and check on him. I had never gone up there and I was unsurprised to see that he was benching at the moment, what looked like weights that added up to be heavier than me he lifted with ease.

He did eight and set the bar back on the rest. He looked up at me, sweat coating his skin, making his black tanktop cling to him like a second skin.

"You here to work out with me?" He asked with a smirk.

I let out a scoff and smiled, "And embarrass myself? No, I did not come up here to work out with a god. I came up here to check on you."

He laughed, "I'm not a god and I'm sure you'd be surprised how strong you are. Anyway, what happened at work. I know you had a meeting with Rhys, how did that go?" He asked sitting down and picking up fourty pound weights and doing curls with each arm.

"It went good, I got a promotion. I start as a waiter next week." I smiled and he looked at me, a piece of hair falling from his ponytail.

"Good job Grayson." He smiled, switching arms.

"Could you stop that. It's bad enough that your better looking than me, you don't have to rub it in my face that your way stronger." I said playfully.

Jean looked at me and finally set down the weights, his expression was serious, he didn't catch my playful tone, "But all your looking at is what is on the outside. When you compare whats on the inside you are so much stronger than me and you are so beautiful. You just can't push yourself to see that. One day, I will show you just how amazing you are." He smiled, and I couldn't help but let the corners of my lips turn up in a smile.

He got up and wrapped his arms around me and I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away, gaging, "Your sweaty!" I screeched, backing away.

He chuckled, "I'll go take a shower. When I get out I want you to tell me more about your day." With that he walked back to his room to take a shower.

I walked down to the living room and waited for him with Charlie waiting in my lap. Apperantly she had forgiven me for pushing her off yesterday. We sat and watched tv until he came down and I explained what the promotion ment and why I got it. He was so proud of me and I couldn't have been happier.

I decided to update before I went to bed instead of waiting for tomorrow since I already had the chapter finished. I hope you like it my Lovelies!

And since I can't seem to stay away from social media accounts I created an account on instagram @lostboys_lostgirls for this wattpad account, I would appreciate it if you could give it a follow! :)

That's all, have a wonderful night/day!
