"how do you feel about all of this?" Julia asks, I shrug."What?" I ask." 'What?'. What about the hundred tabloids on the internet, the assumptions of you being the girl to settle down with the bachelor. And mind you, everyone noticed how he's stopped being seen with other women ever since you started working for him. You can't tell me you don't feel someway about all of this!" She huffs at the end of her rant.What am I supposed to say? I am literally about settle down the bachelor, that's all there is to it."I guess it's weird? If I can say that, I just never expected to be here in life. Let alone this blowing up so much, I definitely did not expect this, it's weird how they are so focused on his life...I mean." I ramble, Julia is silent."I mean yeah all that, but what do you mean by 'I definitely did not expect this,' ?" She interrogates."That was a completely normal sentence Julia, I think your pointing at something that's no there." She raises an eyebrow."You said it in a wa
It's late now, I haven't left the office since I arrived. I just ordered food and stayed in my office, I haven't attended any meeting with Xander to avoid any questions, instead he attended with Nic.A knock sounds on my door, "Come in!" I yell out.The door opens revealing my fiance.I smile out of instinct, he walks in returning the smile lightly. "I got Aaron to fetch your sister from school and to my house, not before passing by the apartment to get some clothes." I frown.How could Julia not tell me? Nor Lucia? I unlock my phone and see dozens of missed calls from both, it's my fault for putting it on silent."And I'd like for you to do the same. I think it's better if you stay with me for now, I don't want the paparazzi figuring out where you live and invading on your lives." He continues, it makes sense.If it took them less than an hour to get my phone number how long could it take them to find my address. I don't give it long but it's better to keep Lia and Jul out of this fo
It's now late eleven, thankfully the girls aren't going to school tomorrow or it would've been a huge dent in their sleeping schedules.Xander went to take a shower and I'm sitting in the library, by the piano. This is my favorite room in the entire house, I let my fingers dance on the keys in a soft melody."Settle down with me and cover me up, cover me in.Lie down with me, and hold me in your arms.And your heart is on my chest, lips pressed to my neck.I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet.And I have a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love know.Kiss me like you wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna loved.This feels like falling in love, falling in love, falling in love.""How long did it take for you to learn that?" I jump in shock then take the moment to turn.My boss is standing under the doorframe, wearing sweatpants that hang low on his hips and no shirt.I stare then look away, "Huh?" I ask, referring to his question.I hear him walk closer as I pretend to obser
I'm bored, Lucia has been studying for year finals. I can't blame her, I hardly ever slept studying for each year's finals.Noelle has gone with her aunt I think and Xander left after getting me to sign the transferral papers, claiming he had some important business to attend to and now I'm left alone in this huge mansion like it's nothing, heck even Ms Jolene has the day off.I stop playing Candy Crush and instead walk around the house, exploring if you could call it that.In total I've counted about seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a theater room, chef's kitchen, library, playroom any the gym downstairs.Except there's a door that's locked on the second floor, I didn't bother trying to open twice, guessing it must be private if it's locked.Finally sighing I pick up my phone and call Aaron, he answers at the second ring. "Can you please make it in twenty minutes?" I request, he agrees and ends the call.Since my car isn't here currently, I remember that Grey said I could use Aaron f
"This house has five bedrooms, a piano room, three bathrooms and a large backyard suitable to fit a small playground for kids. Paired with a pool and pool house." Mrs Lee continues.I don't get why all the houses we've gone to only have five bedrooms, I mean Kat has two kids and I highly doubt she's going an extra. Xander looks at me, I shrug. "It's close to a private school and is situated in a very peaceful neighborhood."I shake my head, "I don't think neither of the kids would like the isolation." I respond.This is our third or fourth house, I've lost count. "I think the second one is quite adequate, do you think your sister can come view it tomorrow say five?" He asks, I ask for a minute.I go to the staircase and call her, "Hey.""Hey, do you think you'll be free tomorrow around five?" I ask softly.Screaming comes from the other end then something crashing, "I don't know. I can't leave the kids alone." "You can bring them with just meet us at five, I'll tell you where." Anoth
"Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor.Such wonderful things around you, what more is you looking for?Under the sea, under the sea. Darling it's better, down where it's wetter take it from me.Up at the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away. Wild in the party, while you float away. Under the sea."A knock interrupts us from our singing, I look back to see Lucia, Nic and Xander just staring at us.They all have grins on their faces, meanwhile Nic is holding up his phone. I blush deeply as Elle laughs, and they follow suit."Can you stop recording us?" I ask, he laughs then places his phone away.I pause the movie then we both turn to them, "I'm going and I just came to tell you bye." She waves her hand then disappears."Can you please get Aaron to keep an eye on her?" I whisper to Grey who nods and I assume sends a quick text to him."So?" I drawl as we all look at each other in silence."Are you up for some ice cream and bounce princess?"
We arrive in more or less forty-five minutes, Grey steps out and then holds his hand out for me to take. I do so and exit the car by his help, the facade of the venue already tells me what it's going to be like inside.Beautiful green trimmed bushes on both sides of the entrance, which is also framed by fresh flowers of which their colours, shapes, sizes and smells vary but they all go well together; creating this beautiful aroma.Xander nods at Jason who then drives away leaving us standing there, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask, knowing very well that he doesn't.He stares deeply before him then nods, the doors are opened for us by the guards and we enter. A large yet cosy lobby is what we walk into, different flowers here and there but not too overbearing.A middle aged lady comes to us with a bright smile, "Mr Grey! It's a pleasure to see you again." They share a kiss on the cheek, just briefly.I can feel the falsity radiating off both of them, it seems clear enough th
"Yes?" I ask sweetly, no hidden bitterness. Nothing."Why is it, that my son chose a woman of your kind to make his wife?" She asks bluntly, I choke on my water and Grey seems to be fuming.I hold his bicep to keep him calm, he visibly does as he relaxes under my touch, I move my hand to his then intertwine it under the table.I don't know, but it seemed like a natural instinct to that but it worked so..."Please elaborate on what a 'woman of your kind' is." I ask, once again sweetly with no hidden disdain."A gold digger." Janet spits out, my eyes widen slightly at the straight bluntness and disgust laced with it."Also a nobody, you popped into his life a few months ago and now you're his fiancé? Meanwhile he won't even look at a woman he's known for more than ten years?" Mrs Grey continues.I look at the mother then the son who defends the statement silently, I shrug. "I guess you should ask the man himself, he is the one who proposed." I smiled sweetly.Mrs Grey frowns and takes a
