MY GREY WORLD

Chapter 10

A/N
Hi guys I'm really really sorry for not posting, I will try to be more constant.

The day I dreaded has come. Thanksgiving day.

I was meant to be happy to go home to meet my parents, extended family, eat roast turkey and sneak some wine but I felt miserable, I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going home.

The routine in my house for Thanksgiving was that I had to stay locked up in my room while my mum secretly gets me food as I play video games. I had learnt my lesson from a particular incident.

During one of this balls my dad had organized. As usual I was in my room with my late bestie, he had sneaked up earlier to keep me company and we were playing chess I felt tasty and decided to go to the kitchen to get some water.
As I took some gulps of my water a guest strolled over "hi, who may you be?"
Before I could answer I saw my dad hurry over to us like is life depended on it "she is one of the helps"
"Oh really then I would like some drinks for my friends and me"
"Yes sir" I said through gritted teeth

Long story short I had to work as a waiter for the rest of the day.

I sit on my bed as I picked up one of my favorite books "the fault in our stars" by John Green, Beulah had gone home a day before and Brittney was packing and sorting her clothes.

"Aren't you going home?" She inquired

I faked a smile and shrugged, she looked at me thoughtfully and then asked.

"Do you want to maybe come home with me, I mean the school will be boring and my elder brother is really cool and he is also a racing fan, I am sure my parents wouldn't mind...... She continued to rambling.

"Okay"

"I mean I am okay if you don't want to...wait you said okay?"

I shrugged, "where do you live?"

"Cambridge"

I immediately looked up the time frame for the journey. 6 hrs!!

As if reading my thoughts, "yh it's pretty far, sometimes I travel by plane or train but this time someone is picking me up".

********
After packing up we stuffed our bags in the trunk and took our seat at the back, a chubby man is seated at the driver seat.

The drive is a long and quite one I must say, and I can't help but steal glances at Brittney. Ever since the night she cuddled with me I find myself entranced while looking at her, however I keep trying to convince myself that I am attracted to her just as a 'friend'.

Brittney POV

Eurell had fallen asleep and she was currently leaning on my shoulder, my body was tense as I made sure not to move an inch I waited for some minutes and then proceeded to move her head to my lap as my found it way to her hair stroking it.

I still can't believe I had fallen for her, I was and always have been so icy with the walls around me but within this short while she melted down those walls.

I wanted her so bad, I wanted her to feel comfortable with me, share her joy and sorrow, run to me when she's hurt and smile with me when she's happy, I want her to flirt with me...... now this sounds cheeky.

She begins to stir, she snuggle into me but as if realizing it she jolts as her face turns red in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry" she mumbled

"For?" I replied to tease but she ignored me, moved to the extreme and turns her focus to the scenery.

Eurell POV

Finally 6hrs 15mins of awkward silence was over as we drive through the drive way.

Brittney house was magnificent, my house was big and all but it was a modern house, Brit's on the other hand looked like an ancient palace it was fascinating and it reminds of the lost city of Atlantis.

Before we could ring the doorbell a woman opened the door with a wide smile.

"Oh pumpkin you are here?"

I chuckled as I saw Brittney turn pale as she whined, "muuuuum"

They really did look alike except for the eyes unlike Brit's glossy brown her mother's was hazel.

"Good day ma'am"

"Oh dear nice to meet you, you can call me Lyndia by the way, ma'am makes me feel old".

I heard Brittney snort as she showed us in.

********
A couple of people were already here but Thanksgiving dinner doesn't start till probably 7pm, I followed Brittney like a puppy as she lead us to her bedroom.

She collected the bags and took them in, seconds later she took my hand and dragged me to God-knows-where.

We stopped in front of a giant mahogany door, Brittney removed her canvas and I followed suit then she knocked.

She opened the door and behind that door revealed on of the biggest library I have ever seen. A man is seated behind a mahogany table as he has his head buried into a book.

"Father", he looks up and I can see his lips grow wider as he smiles widely at her, he hurried over squeezing her into a bear hug.

After the moment I introduced myself myself.

"Your library is really big and beautiful"

"I used to teach in the university of Cambridge that was how I was able to acquire most of these. He said gesturing to the books.

"What are you interested in?

"Cars, mechanical engineering, automobile racing and stuff related to that"

He nods and walks over to one of the shelf and pulled a book out, he comes over and hands it.

"That's a book on beginners mechanics all the basic stuff parts of cars and their functions some history of cars are also included.

I smiled wildly, "thank you so much sir"

He waves it off, "no problem you guys should get some rest before dinner".
