Grace laughed and nodded, “I agree. It’s lucky I got in the way of those flowers.” She smiled. Grace listened to him talked and shrugged, “I’m not saying I want to get laid, but it’s nice sometimes to get a kiss.” Grace smiled, “I’m hoping to have fun too. Excuse me, you’re going to dance with me, even if you’re sober.” She laughed, “After all, you are my date.” She smirked at him before sipping at her drink.

Ray smiled, he recalled the memory fondly. He thought it must have been fate. “Any guy should feel lucky if they get a kiss with you. Hell, if you don’t get a kiss by tonight, I’ll do.” He decided, nodding his head. He’d be ready for this one. “How could I say no to you?” He chuckled. “Date more like arm candy.” He joked.

Grace smiled, “Me either to be honest. You’ve been pretty amazing.” Grace smiled. She giggled at his comment, as her cheeks flushed red with the thoughts of the many ways they could sleep together. She shrugged, “I don’t know, maybe. Isn’t that the fun of parties? You can be carefree and have fun. Masquerade parties are the best because then you can kiss the person you want to without them even knowing.” She laughed and smiled at him. “Don’t you want to kiss anyone tonight? It’s Halloween, the best time of year.”

Ray smiled, and nudged her shoulder. “We’re a pretty good match.” He chuckled. “I don’t know. I don’t go to parties and think, damn, I hope I get laid. Nah, I just hope that I have an actual good time.” He definitely hadn’t been thinking much about kissing people after his fiance’s death. “Of course it is, so I’m just hoping we have tons of fun tonight. I might even dance with you after a couple drinks.”

Grace rolled her eyes, “It’s lucky you’ve got such an organised friend like me. You can bunk with me. The beds here are king size so it’d be like we’re in our own beds anyway. Plus I don’t think I’m going to get anyone to kiss me looking like this.” She giggled and smiled at him, “And of course, I’ll look out for you.”

“I am pretty lucky, really.” Ray nodded in agreement. “Don’t know what I’d do without you, honestly.” He laughed, shrugging. “I don’t have a problem sleeping with you,” he admitted. “You want someone to kiss you tonight?”

Niko nodded, “They really did. Might have to get them to plan some of my parties.” Niko sighed, “Having a one night stand is part of having a good time. You’re strange man, I’ve never had a friend who would rather drink than get laid.” He chuckled and grabbed a drink from on of the waitresses, “Cheers sweetheart. Hey have you met my friend, he could do with a good time.” Niko nudged Ray and chuckled, “Liven up. It’s Halloween. The time of year you can have sex with any character you like.” 

“They would probably be a hit. Honestly, I’d attend them if they always looked like this.” Ray chuckled, nodding. “I think we all have some secret reason to be drinking, sometimes.” He shrugged. Ray couldn’t help but laugh again, Nikolai seemed to have that effect on Ray. “I came with Grace, tonight, so I wouldn’t just want to go with some random girl. I just wouldn’t do that to Grace.” He said, glancing behind him to see if she was anywhere near.

Grace smirked, “Of course it does.” She giggled. Grace ordered herself a drink, “Did you book a room? Just in case you drink too much.” She looked at him, “I have, just because I’m probably going to drink a lot.” Grace laughed and rolled her eyes.

Ray shook his head, he hadn’t thought of booking a room tonight. “Nah, I’m just praying I don’t get too wasted that I will forget how to get back home.” He admitted, rubbing the back of his head. “I’ll try to look out for you tonight.”

Grace smiled, “Why thank you. I thought it suited my personality because I’m so innocent.” She smirked and shook her head, “Come on, lets go get a drink.” She took his arm and headed over to the bar.

“Innocent,” he laughed. “I suppose it does.” As they got to the bar Ray ordered himself a drink, and was quite happy to get it into his system. “God, I haven’t been to a party for a long time.”

“It does… but it’s kinda nice to always have someone look out for me though,” she admitted, nodding her head slightly. “It’s fine, you don’t have to tell me. But I do know what it’s like to be a concerned sister so maybe returning her calls every now and then would help her worry a little less.”

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right.” Ray nodded his head, deciding he’d call his sister tonight briefly. “Hopefully she’ll stop pestering me if I call her tonight.”

“Hm.. I don’t really understand graffiti. I never have.” She told him. “I mean, sure the colors are pretty, but its like.. vandalism.” he told him with a light shrug. “Yeah if only that was the same. I am currently stuck in high school. At least for another year.” She admitted. “So, what do you do?”

“Vandalism, yeah, sometimes. But other times I think the graffiti lightens up a building. That is if it’s a decent artwork and not just the words fuck or penis or something.” Ray smiled. “High school, jeez. I feel like an old man.” He rubbed the back of his head. “I’m kidding. I’m a music teacher over at Metro.”

“I know. Doesn’t it look amazing.” Grace smiled and looked at Ray, “And you look hot. We picked the perfect costume for you.”

Ray chuckled, and then looked over her outfit and nodded. Hers was also perfect. “Same goes to you. Fits you like a dream.” He gave a toothy grin.

“Thank you. To be honest it was down to Grace and Alexus. They were pretty adamant with how they wanted it to look.” He chuckled, “Looks like it’s going to be a great night. Have you booked a room? They’re on me so they’re limited. Gotta book so you can bring a little hottie back.” Niko laughed and looked at Ray.

“Ah, yeah.” Ray shook his head, a smile on his face. Of course, Grace would have gone above and beyond for this party. “Well, they did a wonderful job.” He shook his head, not really feeling up to the idea of a one night stand at the moment. “Nah, I’m not really looking for anything like that tonight. Just want to get drunk and have a good time.”

“Oh my goodness, everything and everyone looks amazing.”

[raybarnes-blog1]

“Damn Grace, you really did a great job.” Ray exclaimed, looking around. “Honestly, I’m impressed.”

“I think the decor turned out pretty well, even if I do say so myself.”

[raybarnes-blog1]

“Actually yeah, I’m pretty impressed.” Ray nodded, looking around. “This party seems to be quite amazing.”

She shook her head, “I have some tablets that will help that.” Chuckling she went out to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and some tablets for Ray before going back into the room. “Here you go.” She handed him both of the items and then sat on the edge of the bed. “Ray, I need to ask something. I know we only just woke up but it’s bugging me so much that I even dreamt about it.” She giggled and sighed, “Did you mean what you said about the…the kiss.” She looked down at her twiddling fingers, nervous about what he was going to say.

Ray took the tablets, swallowing them. “Thanks,” he sighed. He laid back in the bed, and listened to her. He was a little confused on what she was talking about. “Grace,,, I’m not too sure about what I said. I don’t exactly remember anything. It’s all kind of fuzzy. I hope I didn’t say anything bad or anything that upset you.” That would be the last thing he would have wanted, was to upset her.

Grace was stretched out at the end of the bed when she woke up the next morning. She looked up the bed and caught Ray looking back down at her, “What? Good morning.” She smiled a  little and stretched her arms up above her head, “I must have dozed off, sorry. How are you feeling?” She pulled some of the blanket over her legs as she was freezing. “It’s so cold.”

Ray smiled as she woke. “Good morning to you.” His head hurt a bit, but it wasn’t anything major. “Just a little head ache,” he ran a hand through his bed head. He wondered how the heck he had ended up here, and what even happened last night. He barely remembered any of it, but he didn’t feel like asking at the moment.

Grace curled up at the end of the bed, waiting for Ray to drift off to sleep. She smiled at his comment, “I like being around too.” Minutes passed and Grace forgot she was waiting for Ray to fall asleep because she ended up doing the same.

The next morning when Ray woke up, his head was pounding. He groaned, pulling the pillow over his face and trying to block the sunlight coming through the window. He peeked out from under the pillow to see Grace sleeping, and couldn’t help but let a little smile form on his face. She looked peaceful.

Grace chuckled, “Be quiet.” She smirked. She nodded in agreement, “Me too. It’s late.” She watched him curl up and sat at the end of the bed, “I won’t. Just get some sleep. Otherwise you’re going to be terrible tomorrow.” She smiled and looked at him before yawning.

“Good, I like it when you are around.” He whispered, and closed his eye. Ray shut up now, deciding he was too tired to speak anymore. He yawned, slowly let himself be lulled to sleep.

“Well, if you’re good at what you’re doing I think you’re doing your neighbours should feel nothing but lucky,” he shrugged, pursing his lips. “Just a simple car mechanic, at least that’s the short version.”

Ray laughed, “man I wish they thought that way.” He nodded his head. “Ah, okay. Do you like what you do?”
