<div class="floatleft">(http://www.kylegalvin.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/In-the-Frow_Kyle-Galvin_Low-Res_11.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Grace Carter (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=308599.msg15006958#msg15006958)<br/><strong>Age:</strong>23<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><strong>Hometown:</strong>Brighton, England<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>1 July, 2019 | Night<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Villa backyard<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Dress in picture and these shoes (https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1u5ptcL1TBuNjy0Fjq6yjyXXa7/2019-cute-women-open-toe-high-heels-party-shoes-summer-gladiator-sandals-pink-sandals-wedding-shoes.jpg_640x640.jpg)<br/><strong>Coupled with:</strong>Corey<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong><em>Corey</em>| Open<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Grace giggled at Corey’s phrasing, flattered that he was pleased to be coupled up with her. Granted, he had stepped forward for her, so that meant he wanted to be in a couple. But still, there was something about getting to hear him confirm it on his own that really set it in for her. Earlier, at the ceremony, there had been no chance for her to speak to him after all. Of course, that was all carefully designed for higher entertainment value, or something, she presumed.<br/><br/>The nervous energy that crept in around Corey when his laughter joined in with hers was actually adorable to the silver haired islander. She found herself continually taking glances at Corey while she ate. He agreed to her remark about a coffee date then, which caused Grace’s smile to widen a little further, her skin seemingly aglow. Careful not to speak with her mouth blatantly full of food, Grace carried on with their conversation.<br/><br/>She was curious about Corey, though. There was a moment there, or maybe more than one moment, where Corey looked a bit like something had shaken him up or at least made him take pause. Grace wanted to ask about it, but she worried that it might come across in the wrong manner. Like she had been staring at him for a bit too long and was not nitpicking about the faces he was making, or not making.<br/><br/>Grace had to remind her thoughts to hush up, else she might miss what it was that Corey was going to say next. He talked about being a bit of a baked goods expert. “Oh, is that right?” Grace questioned, her brows arching rather high as she seemed to look him up and down. When he suggested that they might both spend some time sharing the kitchen and he could tell her exactly what he thought of her treats, she nodded, unable to hide her enthusiasm.<br/><br/>“Well, in that case, I know exactly what to make for you.” She held a mischievous grin for some time, only allowing it to fade to make room for another crisp. His compliment that followed caused Grace to unknowingly nip at her lower lip while her cheeks turned a shade of coral. When he laughed, she had to join in. It was impossible to tell if his smile was what was contagious, or if it was his laughter.<br/><br/>She tilted her head to the side, playing the part of coy before her response. “So you mean to say that it’s difficult to picture me getting a bit… messy?” Grace chuckled quietly, taking a moment to lick her lips. “Apparently I’ve got a few things to prove to you,” she remarked in a slightly hushed tone. Grace turned to fetch some more of her margarita - which was probably the reason for her becoming so bold all of the sudden - and took another sip.<br/><br/>His surprise at her invasive question was rather funny. Thankfully, Grace could mostly conceal that urge to laugh by holding the margarita glass in front of her mouth. Despite his surprise, Corey still shared what she believed to be a heartfelt truth. Quite honestly, it was entirely refreshing to speak to a guy who she actually believed was telling her the truth rather than feeding her lines.<br/><br/>“Sorry,” she whispered her apology. Either it was for asking the question in the first place, or it was for what he expressed in his answer. Grace laughed when he mentioned moving on by going on reality telly. “I know, our families must think we’re mad, right?” Corey turned the same question round on Grace, and she nodded, setting her drink down on the bed frame again before turning to face him better.<br/><br/>“I was last in a relationship a few months ago. It was quite short and not very serious. That is how most of my dating life has been, really. I suppose I just realized that I have been dating the wrong guys. And, I guess I had an epiphany recently that I actually deserve more than I’ve been allowing myself to experience.” Grace realized the gravity of her words a little late. “So, there’s clearly no pressure on you, or anything!” She joked, laughing aloud.
