(Grayson)
Who the hell does that asshole think he is?!
Does he think he can just walk up to my girl and ask for her damn number like that?
I could see Katrina was uncomfortable. The way she hid the scar on her face made relief flood through me as I couldn't help but be happy about it.
"Good girl, Kitty Kat. He doesn't deserve to see s**t. Who the f**k is this asshole anyways?" I grumbled, and that's when a security guard went to pass me, giving me the perfect idea.
"Sir, I don't want to cause any issues, but see that guy right there?" I began, making the security guard stop before glancing towards the prick.
"I thought I saw him slip something into his pocket earlier over near the jewelry department." I stated, making the security guard clench his jaw before nodding once.
"I will look into it." The man snapped, making me want to burst with happiness as I quickly ducked behind the nearest wall.
Once I saw the guy being escorted to the front of the store, I knew I had won. Nobody is going to get between me and my girl. I know we aren't technically together at the moment, but that's just because she is healing and working on herself.
But after today, I am starting to wonder why the f**k I'm still waiting. She is ready. She has to be now. And if she isn't, then we can do the rest of her healing together.
I followed behind Katrina quietly until she paid for her items and left. I made sure to pay for my own things that the store clerk gathered for Katrina and told them to deliver it to Grant's apartment.
Then I raced to the car waiting outside for me and pulled out my phone, ready to open the mirror app.
I watched with anticipation as Katrina pulled up her search bar, making my stomach flip with excitement.
It was like getting a glimpse inside of that beautiful head of hers. Knowing exactly what she was thinking as she typed it out.
Then I saw the G pop up on the search engine, feeling my stomach flood with butterflies. She was searching me already? She must miss me just as much as I do her.
But what she typed in next made all of that happiness shatter in an instant. Because it wasn't an R she put in after the G, it was a f*****g E and an O. Then his last name, Montgomery. Why the f**k was she typing that s**t in there?!
I watched as she scrolled through the information, stopping on a picture before quickly scrolling down and looking at the next article. Apparently he came from a very wealthy family. f*****g great...
This stung. For some reason, it felt like a betrayal, and yet I had no right to feel that way. I mean, she was just googling the guy.
I could feel jealousy coursing through my veins as I gripped the phone tighter.
There's no way she felt something for that prick.
No f*****g way.
Suddenly, Katrina began typing something else, making my heart drop when I read it.
"Best makeup to cover up scars." The text wrote, making my teeth grind together as I let out a scoff.
Over my dead body.
She hasn't looked up any s**t like this before bumping into that asshole. He already has her doubting her beauty and making her feel insecure. She was never like that with me.
Suddenly, Katrina exited out of the app and turned her phone off, making me tilt my head back before sighing. I let my eyes close gently, feeling my head spinning as I swear my sanity was starting to slip.
I began to think of ways to get her alone. How I could sweep her off of her feet and confess all of my feelings to her. I mean, she might be freaked out that I've been following her for months, but it's pretty romantic if you ask me.
Oh god, I think Grant is rubbing off on me.
He would probably tell me to just take her away somewhere private for a few days so no one could bother us, which honestly sounds pretty f*****g sweet right now. I just don't want to push her, and I'm scared. I'm so f*****g scared to lose her again.
I can't lose her again...
I flicked my eyes open, realizing the time to reveal myself was coming closer as I turned my phone back on and went to call Grant.
He answered on the second ring.
"What is it?" Grant snapped, sounded even more annoyed than he was this morning.
"Well, hello to you too, big brother." I scoffed, wondering what the f**k has been up with him lately. He is crabbier than usual. I know this time of year is rough for him, but this s**t is a whole new level.
"Why are you calling Gray?" Grant asked, much more quietly this time as I realized he must be around everyone.
Surprisingly, no one has figured out I am here yet. Even Sammy has been able to keep it a secret, which I was shocked, considering he is a freaking kid. Kids always blurt that s**t out.
"I'm ready to pull the trigger." I said, feeling the pressure building as Grant went silent on the other end.
"What made you come to this decision?" He asked, causing me to clear my throat.
"I mean, she has made tremendous progress, and I feel like she had a lot of time to think about everything. She is ready to hear me out, I just know it." I stated confidently while imagining holding my Kitty Kat in my arms. God, I just wanted to touch her. To feel those warm hands in kine as I held them tightly.
Everyone gets to see and talk to MY girl, and here I am, stuck in the shadows and fighting for any scraps I can get my hands onto. Even though I did it to myself. Well, it was for her, really. But I am tired of being away from her.
I even made Grant steal a pair of her gloves that I keep next to my pillow at night.
"Grayson, it isn't going to be that easy." Grant suddenly stated, his negativity making me roll my eyes.
"I know Katrina better than anyone. Yeah, she is going to be pissed, but that girl feels it too. She knows deep down that we belong together." I declared, meaning every word from the bottom of my heart. She was mine just as much as I was hers.
Hell, I haven't been able to so much as look at another girl since Kat came into my life.
"How do you know that? I mean, what makes you think that's true?" Grant suddenly asked, surprising me by his question. From the tone of his voice, I had a feeling he was hiding in some corner or something.
"Because from the moment I first laid eyes on Katrina, I felt it. This spark like something inside of me came alive. She consumed every aspect of my life. Even my f*****g dreams." I laughed, knowing it probably sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Grant went quiet, making me wonder what he was thinking as he finally spoke.
"When are you going to do it?" Grant asked, making me smirk.
"On Christmas day, naturally. I have it all planned out..."
