|Saria's POV|:

"It's always good to see you,but what are you doing here?" Jaylen asked

"I- uh- um" I didn't know where to start but Grant cleared his throat and spoke up "She drove me from the wedding we attended because I got drunk and swam in the ocean"
"Again?" the three of them said in sync, Grant rolled his eyes

"Bella ignore them, come sit and eat" signorina Denise said patting the chair across Grant, I sat down and she placed a delicious looking plate of food in front of me.
I said thank you but I wondered what it was, all I recognized was that it was a type of egg bowl, crêpe and fruit. I guess Grant saw the curiosity on my face because he told me what it was
"It's an Italian frittata and a tiramisu crepe" I thanked him

I took a bite of the Italian frittata and almost fainted at how good it was. "signorina Denise you're going to have to tell me the recipe to this"
"I'll tell you once you tell me the recipe to your lemon tarts"

"You've had my lemon tarts?" I was surprised because I've never seen her come into the shop
"Of course I did, you were the talk of the week after Irene and Joe's 50th anniversary. I had to get myself some more." She said in her thick Italian accent and I couldn't help but smile
"Next time you come in, tell Rani who's one of my cashiers and I'll make sure to give you some from a freshly made batch" I said and she smiled and nodded

"Grant, mi piace molto questo" (Grant, I like this one) signorina Denise said to Grant, I had no clue what she said so I continued to eat the delicious food in front of me

From the corner of my eyes I saw him glance at me and smile "Anche a me" (me too)

"Saria my birthday is coming up" Jaheim said
"Really? How old are you going to be?"
"Old enough to be a pimp" he said and signorina Denise slapped him upside the head which caused the rest of us to laugh

"Signorina Deniseeeee" he wined "Don't signorina Denise me, you need to watch your mouth" she had she hands on her hips and a wooden spoon in her hand
He muttered a sorry

"I'm turning 22" Jaheim said and my eyes widened of shock
"Twenty what?, I thought you were 17 or something" Damn how young did Grant have them?

"I know, my youth still shines. Can't say the same about dad. He's aging like a half eaten apple" he said and Grant ignored him but when I let out a chuckle he glared at me "Hey I'm not the one who said it old man"

He had this mischievous look on his face "Saria run" Jabez said and he didn't have to tell me twice, I ran but Grant was hot on my heels

I ran until I couldn't see him, I put my hands on my knees so I could steady my breathing. Once it was steady I stood up straight and checked if the coast was clear. It was until I was unexpectedly picked up and thrown over a very tall persons shoulder

"Grant put me down" I said gently pounding on his back
"Nope" he said popping the P, I struggled for a little longer but eventually gave up

"It was Jaheim who said you were aging like a half eaten apple, not me" I defended myself but he ignored me.

I noticed the amazing view I had of his ass in the black sweatpants he was wearing "Nice ass" I said then smacked it "Saria stop" he said sternly but I smacked it again "Saria" he said lowly but I did it again which caused him to smack my ass.

A moan slipped out my mouth and I covered my mouth quickly, did I just moan?
He halted "Did you just moan?"

It took me a few seconds to respond because I was in so much shock "N-No" a laugh erupted out of him "You're the last person I would of though had a kink like that" he said putting me down and then walking away, I quickly followed him
