"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

Headline: Trouble in the Grey paradise?Of course they found out, there sits a picture of me by Grey's side while he glares at his family.It's at a perfect angle that somehow captures all of our facial expressions, excluding Sophia's who's been looking down almost the entire brunch.I place my work phone away not in the mood to read their assumptions, directing my gaze to my fiancé he seems to be brooding.I ended up making lunch for us seeing as neither of us got to eat much, he hasn't touched his and I haven't finished mine.Out of nowhere he breaks into a small grin, "Do you know of Jaclyn Linean?" He asks, I think for a minute."She planned the June wedding of the year right?" I ask, he nods."You can meet her tomorrow if you'd like." He offers, but tomorrow's Monday. I shake my head, "Work. When will there be time?" I ask, he shrugs it off."Then you can dedicate tomorrow to the wedding day details, then come back to work when you're done or whenever." He offers, I shake my hea

no mortgage bond, and it's quite close to a school for your daughter and your son." Kat is just standing there teary eyed, but I can tell that she doesn't want to accept it but she remains quiet.Mrs Lee smiles at me once she notices, "Sorry I'm late." I apologize."Now that we're here I can show you the interior." We all head inside, the kids rushing before us.One thing I'm happy about is that it comes furnished, it's cosy but also screams luxury. We walk around and show them the kitchen, living room and dining room along with the playroom in the basement.We head upstairs, where there is four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The main bedroom stands alone with a bathroom with it.Two other rooms are conjoined with a bathroom and the other is alone with a bathroom across it.It's more than enough for them, Mrs Lee leaves us claiming to have to go to another viewing we bid her goodbye.We are now standing out in the yard, where not far from the where we are is a jungle gym with the kids t

I sit on my bed cross legged with my phone in hand, my chrome opened up at a pregnancy symptoms website.NauseaDrowsinessFatigueVomiting (morning sickness)HeadachesCravingsLight-headedI can't be pregnant, I mean it's been two to three weeks. He speed a condom though, each time. I'm not pregnant.What if?"Are you going to test?" I look up at my laptop screen where Julia is in a cucumber mask."Julia it was a one time thing, and we used condoms." I reason."Well just do it because you don't want to end up doing something that makes you regret having have not checked.""But I didn't get repulsed or the nausea when Grey was drinking by the smell of alcohol." She gives me a face."Not everyone gets those symptoms Rosaleigh. Now tomorrow you better get that test and check. Goodnight." With that I end the call and continue looking at the symptoms.Instead of going to sleep I walk out of my room and into the other, silently I shuffle under the blankets and lay my head on his chest.I

Nic walks in, closing the door behind him and sits on the chair before my desk. "What's the appointment about? If you don't mind me asking." He begins, I shrug it off."I just haven't been feeling well lately but it's alright." He smiles with a nod."Anway, I see that we haven't gotten much time to talk since the day of your engagement." He wiggles his eyebrows with a glimmer in his eyes.I raise an eyebrow while stapling some papers together, "I know about the whole contract deal, but I want to know how you feel about all this." His mood takes a turn, he's still moderately bubbly but he sits back in his chair and looks me directly in the eyes, not too intimidating but a bit uncomfortable. I look away, it's like he's my therapist but worse in a way."Can we not..." I suggest looking down at the documents on the desk that I try my best to read through."Okay. But I think last time we established that you like him, how's that?" He asks, I give him a look and sigh."I still like him, bu

For the next few hours Grey and I hardly talk, not just because of the workload which is a lot might I add.But because of the talk Nic and I had, I even avoided looking at him. And because of that he's been very pissy, I can't blame him.I'm scared, can you blame me? Most probably yes but that doesn't stop my fear nonetheless.A knock comes on my door distracting me from my thought and work, I look up and see my boss."We have to get going." He says, my mouth forms an 'o' shape. I quickly get up and grab my jacket, phone and purse.I know I'm not coming back so I don't see a need for me to leave anything behind.I switch off the lights and close the door behind us.It takes us no longer than twenty minutes for us to get to the same hospital my dad is, we walk right past the receptionist and Grey leads us to a certain room.A quick nod and an elderly man stands on the other side, Dr Ruben his coat reads. "Ah, come in come in." He makes way for us to go through.We enter, just like the
