SCATTERED

24. Sebastian's POV

On Sunday its grams birthday and I want to get a gift for her but I am confused. I want to give her something special. First I will pack my bag then I will think about the gift.   I was busy in picking the clothes when Grace entered.

"Hey. I finished my packing so I came to help you".

"Thanks but I will do it myself". I smiled at her and continued folding my clothes which I picked.

"Oh. I will leave then". She said in disappointment.

"You can give me some company while I pack".

"Sure. Why not". She sat on the bed.

"So it's grams 75th birthday right"? She asked.

"Yeah. How do you know"?

"She is best friend of grandma so I thought they are of same age". She shrugged.

"What are we going to gift her"? She asked wiggling her eyebrows. I liked how she mentioned we not just you and me.

"I am confused. Any suggestions"? I asked.

"She already has everything. I think we should give her something to remember like a vacation where she spent most of her time with your grandfather. My grandma once mentioned grams miss London a lot. So what do you think"? She questioned.

"That's so thoughtful of you Grace. Grams really loved her time spent in London. She always wanted to go back but she didn't got the chance but she will be going very soon".

I really liked her idea. Grams is going to love it and I also have a surprise for her but I am not gonna reveal it to Grace. She will find out with everyone else.

"Finally. I am done". I sighed.

"Have you packed your toiletries"? Grace asked.

"Oh no. Thanks for reminding me". I went inside the bathroom to get the things but I stopped in my track.

"Oh my god! I can't go in there"! I exclaimed in horror and came back into the room.

"Sebestian? What happened"? Grace got up from the bed and rushed towards me.

"Actually Grace there is a cockroach in the bathroom".

"What"? She looked at me and then at bathroom and then burst into laughter. I looked at her in surprise. I saw her laughing like this for the first time. My lips curled into a smile.

"Oh my god! Sebestian Wilson is afraid of a small cockroach"! She laughed even more.

"I am not afraid of it. It's just that I don't like insects". I muttered.

"That means you are scared of every insect". She teased.

"Whatever but I am not going inside". I sat down on the bed. Grace walked towards the bathroom and then came back after five minutes with a small bag in her hand.

"The cockroach is dead and here is your toiletries bag". She handed me the bag.

"Thanks". I took the bag from her hand.

"You should have looked at your face". Grace chuckled.

"It's not funny Grace. As I said before I don't like insects that's all and one more thing this stays between us". I told her sternly. She giggled and nodded zipping her lips.

"Let's go to sleep now". Grace turned around but before she could move I caught her wrist.

"You are not sleeping here"? I asked.

"Don't worry I will be fine tonight". She reassured me and walked out of the room. My heart ached when she left. I laid down on the bed wondering about my life.

How can a single person has such an impact on our life. Now I understood why grams and Mom used to tell me "Wait till you fall in love" whenever I make fun of them. I never did that on purpose. I just loves to tease them. Because I have always respected the feelings they shared with each other whether it is mom and dad or grams and grandad. I always believed in love but I thought that emotion was not for me until Grace walked into my life. I was with many women before but never feel my heart attached to them. With them it was just lust but with Grace it's just pure love. For her I can do anything. Thinking about my beautiful wife I fell asleep.

Next morning I woke up and did my morning routine. I wore a light pink shirt with blue trousers along with white sneakers and went down grabbing my back on my way. Grace was already present in the living room waiting for me.

"Good morning Seb. Let's have breakfast before we leave". She cheered. 

"You look different". I raised my eye brow at her. Different not as in clothes. She is wearing a denim top with white jeans. Her mood is different.

"Yes. I am excited to go somewhere after such a long time". I nodded understanding what she said. We finished our breakfast and went out.

"Have you booked the tickets for grams"? Grace asked. We are on our way to my parents house.

"Yes. I already told my assistant to book it. I forwarded him all the details this morning". I informed her.

"That's good". She smiled and I saw how her eyes reflected excitement. I feel so amazing seeing her in this state. I heard her phone ringing. She took it out from her bag and answered the call.

"Yes. We are on our way. We will be there n five minutes". She hang up the call laughing a little.

"It was Rebecca. She said they will leave us if we if we didn't arrive their in five minutes".

"Rebecca gets very impatient whenever we goes on a family trips". I chuckled at my sister's behaviour.

"Finally you guys are here"! Rebecca exclaimed.

"So everyone is already present"? I asked.

"Yes. We were waiting for you two". Jane said.

"Who is going with whom"? Dad asked.

"We are going with Sebestian and Grace". Adrian said referring him and Jane.

"Me and Josephine is going with Tristan and Rebecca". Grams said.

"Then old couples are coming together". Tristan joked about mom, dad and uncle and aunty.

"We are not old yet". Uncle said.

"Come on guys. In the cars now". Grandma said.

We settled in our cars and  I started driving. Grace sat beside me while Adrian and Jane sat behind.
