A/N: This came to me outta nowhere, so bear with me.

"Let's go Gracie, we're gonna be late as it is!" Wade barked over his shoulder as he buttoned up his shirt.

"I'm coming, gimme a second." A soft voice answered from the bathroom. Wade turned on his heel and opened the door, nearly bumping into her. "Now, Gracie." He looked down his petite girlfriend.

"Sorry." She looked away and walked past him.


"Took you guys long enough." Heath noted when he opened the door.

"You know women." Wade quipped.

"Well it works, you look beautiful Grace." Heath said, leaning in for a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you honey. " Grace said, obliging him.

"You better not let this one go, Wade."

"I've no intention to." Wade smirked. "Why don't you go play nice with the other girls while us fellas talk?" Wade breathed next to her ear, rubbing the back of her neck.

"I'd rather not-"

"Grace." Wade grumbled.

"Fine." She walked off after Wade kissed her forehead.

"Hey Grace." Justin tapped her arm.

"What's up Grace." Michael nodded as she walked past them out onto the tiki-lit patio.


"Now it's party!" Maryse, one of the two girls Grace could even stand, jumped up from her chair and hugged Grace. Grace couldn't help but giggle at her broken English.

"Please don't leave my side." She whispered before breaking the hug.

"Never, baby! Come have drink with me, you know you want to." Maryse tossed her platinum locks to one side and patted next to her for Grace to come sit down.

"This is a beautiful place you and Heath have, Danielle." Grace looked around at the pool illuminating different colors.

"Thanks, I'm so happy to finally have someone over to see it." Danielle said.

"How much did it cost Heath?" Grace, Maryse, and Danielle looked over at the blue-eyed redhead twirling her hair on the other side of the pool.

" We paid enough." Danielle smiled through clenched teeth.

"Why'd you even invite her?" Grace asked.

" 'Cuz Heath loves Justin and they're a package deal." Danielle rolled her eyes.

"Can I help you with anything?" Grace asked.

"Uh, there's some trays in the kitchen if you don't mind."

"Sure." Grace smiled, more than happy to give a hand.


"Stocks and bonds, mate. That's where the money is-"

"Take a break from all your business talk and eat." Danielle said.

"You didn't have to do all this, babe." Heath took the tray from Danielle's hands.

"Speak for yourself, I'm starving." Justin said, taking one of the deviled eggs.

"You're such a pig." Wade squinted his eyes at Justin.

"Be nice." Grace said.

"Oh it's all in good fun, love." Wade took her under his arm.

"You really let her out the house in that, Wade?" Justin asked.

"Excuse me?" Grace snapped her head in his direction.

"Don't get me wrong, you're a beaut, but you're about two inches short of becoming Maryse." Everyone laughed at the innocent joke, even Grace couldn't help but playfully roll her eyes.


"Did you enjoy yourself, tonight?" Wade watched as Grace stood in front of her vanity.

"Sure. Is something bothering you?" She asked, noticing the look on his face.

"I'd just really rather you not wear such...provocative clothes in front of my mates anymore." He placed his hands on her shoulders and rested his chin atop her head.

"Are you serious?" Grace turned around to face him, "I've worn this dress before."

"Yes, but not in the presence of my mates." He smoothed some of her dark tresses from her face.

"But I-fine. Won't happen again." She sighed, seeing no point in fighting.

"That's my good girl." Wade lifted her chin and pressed his lips to hers. He breathed heavily against her mouth, running the straps of her nightie off her shoulders. Gently guiding her back on the bed, he soon followed. She ran her hands up his hard torso.

"I love you." She whispered. He looked down on her and grinned.

"I know."
