SCATTERED

32. Sebastian's POV

I was finalising my deal with Clara when I heard Grace's voice. She said something to Jane very loudly. I can say she is annoyed by her face expressions.

"What are you guys talking about? And Grace why Jane will be happy"? Adrian asked.

"I will tell you". Jane said but Grace stopped her.

"Nothing she is just irritating me. Sorry you guys carry on". Grace said but why she is looking so flustered.

"I think they are getting bored. Don't worry girls I am leaving now and you can have your men to yourself". Clara laughed at them.

Clara is our old friend. We have met through the other business men in a party and since then we are business associates as well as good friends. She is very nice and an intelligent woman. She loves her daughter and husband a lot and they are an amazing family. I have met her husband before and he is an artist. He is a very famous painter.

"Wait you are not going anywhere. We are going out for dinner". I said.

"No Sebestian. I am already late. Next time for sure". She said.

"Okay but we are waiting for a party from you don't forget that". Adrian said. Next week Clara is opening a new hotel under her daughters name and Ofcourse we want to celebrate her success.

"Sure guys. Only you guys are my closest friends and I want to celebrate my success with the people who really appreciates it". She said to him.

"I am leaving now. I will call you guys later". She hugged me and Adrian and said bye to Grace and Jane.

"Who is she"? Jane asked to Adrian.

"Don't be Jealous babe. She is our old friend. And trust me she is just friend". Adrian pulled her towards him.

"We are leaving now. Do you guys want to join us for dinner"? Jane asked.

"No". Me and Grace said at the same time.

"It's okay if you two want to have some husband and wife time. We won't disturb". Adrian said and they went out.

"You came to my shop". Grace said breaking the silence. It wasn't a question.

"Yeah I came to have lunch but then I got a call from my office". I lied to her.

" You could have said hi to me atleast". She said. Is she disappointed. I don't think so.

"It was very urgent and I saw your calls too but I was in a meeting at that time". I again lied to her. I can't say that I was being childish and didn't picked her call in anger.

"Okay. But next time if you come don't you dare go anywhere without meeting me". She said.

"Let's go to home now. I am starving". I said changing the subject. She nodded at me and we both walked out of my office.

"Where is your car"? I asked as we reached parking lot.

"I thought I will go back with you so I already messaged Richard to go". She replied.

"Okay". I said and we got into the car. We reached our home after 15 minutes. Grace directly went to her room to get changed into something comfortable. I too changed my clothes and ordered food for us.

When I came down I saw Grace is holding the bags of food in her hand and staring at it confusion.

"I ordered the food".  I said.

"Oh. The guard gave me the bags". She said.

We arranged the food on the dining table and started our dinner.

"Morgan came to my office today. He invited us to a party". She said.

"Party"? I asked.

"Yeah. He said it's a small get together for our college friends. He invited to Jane as well". She said.

"You should go". I said. It will be nice if she meets her old friends.

"But I don't want to go alone". She mumbled.

"Jane will be with you. You won't be alone". I said.

"But I want you to come with me". She said. I stopped eating and looked at her.

"Why do you want me to come with you"? I asked. She just shrugged at my question.

"When is it"? I asked.

"Next Saturday". She grinned at me. I can do anything to see that happiness on her face.

"Okay I will come with you". I said.

"Thansk a lot Seb. You are the best". She said in excitement.

"I just agreed to come to a party Grace". I chuckled.

"I know". She smiled.

We finished our dinner and then watched a movie together. Then we both went to our respective bedroom. I am feeling very tired today. I don't know the the reason. Maybe it's because of work or my heavy heart. For how long we are going to live like this? For how long I have to hide my feelings from her. I want to tell her but at the same time I don't want to scare her. What if she leaves me if I confess. I just can't imagine my life without her. I fell asleep thinking about our future.
