nothing stopped me from thinking about Grayson Chase.
Just when I was sure I was about to go completely insane, my laptop started making noises. Grayson was requesting to be my friend on Skype. The second I accepted his friendship request my computer rang, and his Skype call came through.
“Hey you,” I said nervously as soon as the video resolved and showed his perfect face.
“I’m sorry I haven’t called before now. It’s been a crazy week.”
“I can only imagine. How’s life back in LA?”
He shrugged. “It is what it is. Is Jen doing any better?”
“Yes. She is doing a lot better. That was really sweet, what you did, coming by the see her before you left Houston.”
"It was the least I could do. It was my fault she met Ethan in the first place. I didn't know he had a girlfriend, just so you know."
"Don't worry Grayson, neither of us blames you because your friend is an ass."
He looked chagrin, so I decided to change the subject.
“Tell me about all you’ve been doing since you’ve gotten back home.”
“I’ve had a lot of things to catch up on after being gone for so long,” he started to say.
“Like going through your mail?” I teased.
“Yeah,” he laughed. “That and meetings with my lawyer, agent, accountant, publicist … all that good stuff.”
“Better you than me,” I said sarcastically.
"So there was another reason I called you," Grayson said carefully as if he was nervous about something. "I have this movie premiere to go to next Thursday, and I was wondering if you and Jennifer wanted to go with me?" He paused, perhaps to judge my reaction. "It would mean a lot to me if you could be there."
"I don't know Grayson. Jennifer in Hollywood? That's kind of too close to Ethan. I don't think she's ready for that yet. She liked Ethan a lot, more than I even realized. I just don't believe it would be a good idea."
“What about your sister?” He asked.
“What about my sister?”
“Think she might like to come to the premiere with you?”
I had to choke back a laugh at the thought of my stuffy, all too prim and proper sister at a fancy movie premiere in Hollywood.
“I don’t know Grayson. That’s not really her thing.”
Then again, mine either. Was I really considering calling her and begging her to go with me? I must be losing my mind.
“Just hear me out,” he pleaded. “I’ll fly you both out here, pay for everything including your hotel, food, dresses, full makeovers. You’ll both be red carpet ready.”
“Okay, okay. I can see this means a lot to you Grayson so I’ll call and ask her, but I can’t make any promises. She’s really busy with school. This is her final year of law school,” I reminded him.
In the end, I agreed to call and speak to her about going to LA with me and then call him back with her answer. When I did call my sister, much to my surprise, she actually said yes, but only if we promised she would be back home by Saturday. She said she needed a full day to recover because Monday’s were one of her busiest days of the week and she didn’t want to be tired from all that traveling.
Chapter Seven
“I’d never seen anyone not famous walk the red carpet before, so why do we need to be red carpet ready?” My sister asked.
“I don’t know Andrea. Maybe Grayson just wants us to have the whole Hollywood glam experience.”
Grayson flew my sister and I to LA the day before the big event on his private jet and from the moment we arrived in LA, we were treated like royalty. A stretch limousine picked us up at the airport and we were assigned our own bodyguard and personal assistant who escorted us from place to place, getting us ready.
First, we had to pick out dresses to which we were given several choices by a stylist who apparently was also dressing Nina Dobrev for the event. I guess she had some part in Grayson’s movie as well. I probably should have asked him more about the movie. I didn’t even know the name of it, let alone
