Chapter 36

I was walking all normal and steady as I walk back at the main hall with Goofball by my side. Well, that was what I thought. This time, he had his arms around my waist in a tight manner like he doesn't want to let go. Everytime he faces me with a smile, I would smile back without eye contact. 

Because after that little incident earlier, I would freak everytime I look at him straight in the eyes.

"Where have you been?" We both turn to look behind our shoulder to find Dad, smiling down at us. Of course there was his occasional apple pie on the other hand. 

"W-We were just out walking." I stuttered. I mentally slapped my face then scolded myself for stuttering. 

Dad just chuckled in amusement. "Hmm... Young love." He sighed.  That only made my face redder. "Anyways, Mother was out looking for you." 

"G-Grandma?" Greyson smirked as he heard me stutter again. 

"Yes. I believe she's at the corner talking to your Uncles and Aunts." Dad replied as he took a bite of apple pie.  "You should go and give her a nice hello." 

"We'll do that." Greyson smiled then took my hand in his, gripping it tightly. "We'll be going now--Wow, what a nice bowtie, Dad. Brand new perhaps?" 

"Wow. You're the first one to notice that." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes as I just witness my father fall into Goofball's charms. Like seriously? How does he do that? 

After the short explanation my Dad told us about his adventure on buying his new tie, We walked down to our next destination which is the spot where Grandma is. I know all of you would think she's rather strict and soldier-like girl who wants anything go by her way. 

Well, you're mistaken. 

"Jamie, dear!" Grandma exclaimed as she held her arms out to reach me. I giggled a little bit and took my hand away from Greyson to give her a small hug. After I pulled away, she looked at me, her gaze travelling up and down. "My, my... you've grown into a fine young lady. Last time I saw you, you were a little girl jumping up and down at our bed in her jammies." 

Greyson choked a laugh.  "That's years ago, Grandma." I smiled at her then threw a glare at Goofball. "Besides, I'm all grown up now." 

"I see. But you're still my---" Her sentence was interrupted by a voice clearing it's throat. I turned to my right to find Aunt Matilda (Michael's mom), Uncle Mason (Anya's dad), Uncle Greg (Tess's dad) and Aunt Cherry (Todd's mom). 

Uncle Greg was the one who cleared his throat then shot a mean look at Greyson and I. "It is very nice to see you, Jamie. But I do believe that you are interrupting an important conversation." Of all my Aunts and Uncles, he was really my least favorite. 

"Oh Greggy you." Grandma scolded. "You're one to talk. You also interrupted me and Jamie's conversation. Besides, Stanley isn't here yet." 

"Here I am!" Dad cheered as he shoved a spoonful of ice cream at his mouth. "Oh boy. Mom, you should really try this cheese flavored ice cream. My wifey and the chef made it so it's really tasty." 

All of Dad's siblings just rolled their eyes at him but only Uncle Greg shot him a glare.  Greyson only stiffled a laugh beside me. "He's just like you." He whispered.
