grayson's empire

eleanors POV

"so, what are you doing with my fiance?" the girl asks me. damn bitch does fit her. "i date him" i tell her with a smile. "how did you meet eachother." his mom asks, pure curiosity, i think. "i'm his assistant." i say looking at him. after a while everyone's having their own conversation, grayson takes this as his moment to start whispering things in my ear. i chuckle as he starts ranting on about how bitch dirkinson needs to be put in her place. "can i do it" i whisper in his ear. he nods a little as he places his veiny hand ontop of my exposed thigh. "hey bitch? was it?" i ask her. "it's Beth" she answers 

"yeah, as i said. bitch, uh, do you know the proper way to put on perfume. or just how to use the entire bottle in one moment? cause you give all of us quite the nausea by using so much, it's quite distasteful" grayson smirks and  watches closesly. "you-you're fat" she answers back. i know damn well i'm a good 2 sizes smaller than her. but it's still hurting me. grayson stands up and slams his fist on the table. "it's time for you to leave." he states. "gray, it's ok, sit down." i whisper holding his bicep. he looks at me and sits down. "he deserves someone pretty like me." i chuckle. "if you'd eat all that make up then maybe you'd become pretty on the inside" i remark. a soft snort coming from grayson and caden. "you're a bitch" she snarls. "oh you don't know the half of it" after a while everyone is back to their convo's as she turns to both me and ella. "so, are you pregnant? with twins?" ella looks at her and me in shock. 

"what did you just say?" she asks. and before bitch can repeat herself ella's handprint is drawn out on bitch's face. bright red. everyone's attention diverting to us. "WHAT. happened?" Mr arlow states. "i hit the bitch father" maria says. "she won't be the only one if she does not get up and leave right this instant" grayson adds. 

after hours upon hours i've grown tired. not just me. aurora seems like shes about to knock out. "darling, you ready to head home?" grayson asks me catching my attention. "yes" i tell him holding his hand. "thank you so much for having me Mrs Arlow, i really appreciate it" i tell her. 

after we said all our goodbyes grayson guides me back to his car in the dark. "are you hungry darling?" he asks me once we're on the road. "no, why?" i ask "you ate 3 fries and half a piece of cucumber. why aren't you eating?" he says his arm stretched to hold the steeringwheel, while the other hand is placed on my thigh. his thumb rubbing over my bare skin. 

"i'm just not that hungry today. i'll be fine." i tell him with a smile. right when he opens his mouth to talk my phone rings, bentley. "hey lee" i say quickly answering the phone. "hey ele. i'm staying at my parents house tonight, will you be ok on your own" i sigh. "how long are you staying?" i ask him. i always get anxious when i have to stay home alone. "2 days." i nod as if he can see. "i think i'll be ok. if not i'll go to mel or benji" i tell him. "ok bye ele I luv youuu" he sings. "i luv you too bent, talk to you when you're home, have fun and give them a big hug for me" i tell him before disconnecting the call. 

i sigh "what's wrong?" he questions. "nothing important. i'm just a bit tired." i tell him. as we get to my appartment building i get out the car. but before my door could close he's out of the car "thank you for today darling" he says as we stand in the elevator to go to my appartment. "it's no problem, really, i love your family." i tell him. he pulls me into a hug. for a second i freeze, but quickly return the hug. i giggle a little into his chest.

"whats so funny" he mumbles into my hair. "you hate everyone. and today you just, i don't know you're suddenly hugging me quite the change, Mr arlow" i joke as we get out the elevator. "well you're an easy person to be yourself around. Ms Vienna"

i smile at the what i think is a compliment. "thanks for, everything grayson, i like this side of you" i tell him. he kisses me cheek. "thank you for sticking around for so long even though i've been a jerk to you" i hum in response, nodding my head. "hey rude you were not supposed to agree" he says pushing me a little.  i chuckle and open the door. "do you want anything to drink?" i ask him heading towards my kitchen before closing bentley's door. his room is a mess and no one needs to see.
