Minor Difference

chapter 40: Lake d8

Greyson

I'm speeding down the street, rushing to get to Violet's place to pick her up. It's currently 6:57 and i'm 3 miles away. I told her i'd be there at seven.

Dammit. 

How the fuck am I going to plan a date a be late for it. Fucking dumbass.

It's now 7:05 and I come to a screeching stop in front of the girl's house. I get out the car and knock on the front door.

"Greyson. Nice to see you," Ms. Graham greets me. She wears a happy smile similar to her daughter's.

"Nice to see you too. How are you?," I ask as she widens the door to let me through.

The woman closes it behind me,"Oh I'm good. Just getting a little old is all,"

"You don't look a day over 25, Ms. Graham," I smile at her.

"Oh come on. You're gonna flirt with my mother too?," And out comes the queen. My queen. Violet.

She exits her room wearing a champagne colored midi dress. It was loose and flowery but her curves still shone through. Her hair was up in a ponytail with curls coming down. She looks stunning.

"Um, no, Vi. I would never steal your man," Her mom replies in a teasing manner. I could feel the heat rise in Violet's face from her comment. She's embarrassed.

"Come on. Let's go," She grabs her bag, probably with the extra clothes, and pushes past the both of us.

"I'll be right there," I tell her before turning back to Fern," Is it alright if she stayed the night at my place. She'll be back tomorrow,"

Fern nods with an approving smile. I thank her and leave, shutting the door behind me.

"What were you guys talking about?," Violet has her arms crossed and eyebrows raised in unison. Why does she insists on me making moves on her mother. The best Graham is standing right in front of me. Hell, the best GIRL is standing right in front of me.

"Nothing. Let's go my queen," I stick my hand out for her to grab. She analyzes it. Eyes going from my palm to my face until she decides to grab it.

Her small hands intertwine with mine once again. I give her a small smile, telling her that i'm happy with her decision.

I head to the car with her by my side and open the door the let her in. I enter too.

I start the car and drive off to our destination. Instead of speeding like i was. I cruise down the street. Music playing softly in the background while the two of us converse.

Violet

The car stops at a ledge. I'm guessing this is this spot. It's kinda eery. What if he tries to kill me.

I glance at the boy next to me. His hair was fluffy and messy, but in a purposeful kind of way. He was wearing a black knitted sweater and some cropped trousers. He looked quite handsome.

Greyson turns off the car and we both get out. I can now peer over the ledge. There's a lake. It's looks clean and too perfect to be natural.

Is this a private lake?

I look around to fine Greyson to ask to see him by some steps waiting for me. I rush over to him in my sandals.

"A lake? I guess I misread the situation," I laugh with embarrassment. I though it was going to be a dinner. I mean he did say wear something nice.

"You sure?," He smiles when we reach the bottom of the stairs.

In my sight I see a large blanket laid on the ground. Candles surrounding it. On the blanket, there's a picnic basket and some wine.
