My Next Door Neighbor

Chapter 32

Penelope's POV

After we leave Julian's farm, Gray's cabin is a 10 minutes away. I turn to look at Grayson. "Isn't it true that Travis lives like an hour away from the cabin?" Grayson nods. "So why does he come all the way to the city to just go to the cabin when he could just meet you at the cabin?" He chuckles and gives me a look.

"Never mind, it's Travis. He lives on bothering you. Ahh I miss the guy. We should have a double date with him and Damian. Speaking of, when is he getting married?" Grayson shrugs. "No idea, and trust me. If he knew, he would've told me. So he's probably still trying to figure it out" I giggle at a past memory.

"Remember when a homophobe asked you if you were happy with Travis going to hell? Hehe, you looked them straight in the eyes and said 'Imagine being a christen that was taught to love thy neighbour but still wasting time out of your day to be rude and homophobic to someone?' and the-" Grayson chuckles.

"Yea I remember. He tried to interrupt me but I held up a finger and told him I was speaking. Man his face at the end of my little speech was worth it being yelled at by the other homophobes."

"Can't believe they were protesting the pride march. And what made it better is that Travis kissed Damian while I and the other allies and the gays started cheering, man those homophobes looked so disgusted. Oh that was funny."

I giggle and butterflies swarm in my stomach when he chuckles, tightening his grip on my thigh. I squirm, squeezing my thighs together. He glances over at me before looking back on the road, smirking.

"Just wait until we get there sunshine, we'll christen every inch of that place, especially when you throw away your birth control" I blush and bite my lip. "Can you drive just a smidge faster?" He chuckles and does drive just a bit faster.

When the cabin comes in sight, I literally become breathless. It's a beautiful two story cabin, obviously the outside is made with wood. There's trees surrounding the property with a bridge over a creak leading somewhere. There's stone steps leading up the the cabin's porch. "Gray, it's beautiful!" He parks the car and gets out, going around and opening my door, and helping me out.

"I'm glad you like it. When I was here with Travis the last few times, I added a few things here for you, in case you came here with me" I smile softly before taking his hands in mine. "I'm sorry for not coming here with you sooner" He smiles softly down at me before bending down and kissing my forehead.

"Don't be, I already told you that you moved at your own time and I didn't mind waiting for you. I love you and I'm just happy that you're here with me. Now let me get our things and we'll go in together" I nod and he goes and opens the trunk, getting both our bags.

He nods over to the cabin and I catch up with him, walking with him. "It really is beautiful babe, and I can't wait to see the inside, come on!" I walk faster and I hear him chuckle behind me. Once I'm in front of the door, Grayson takes out the keys and opens the door, revealing a living room.

The couch is on the right side with a small round table in from of it and the TV is in the left side of the room. Right next to the couch is a stairwell leading up to the second floor. "Wow, it's so beautiful in here" I hear Grayson chuckle and he leans into my ear. "Take a look around on the bottom floor while I put our stuff down, I'll be right back" I nod and he kisses my cheek, walking up the stairs.

I take his advice and go into the hallway. There's a door to my left and I open it, seeing the open kitchen. There a counter with the stove and a window placed above the sink, looking over, there's an open doorway that leads to the dinning room. The counter is marble and I swipe my hand over it.

"This is really nice" I walk out and go further down the hall, looking at a a door to my right, I go to it and open it. I smile as I see a window nook with bookshelves lining up the walls and a door on the right side of the nook leading out to the back of cabin, where the bridge is located. I look to a doorway left of the nook and I look through and see more books and a spiral stairwell.

I go up it to see Grayson standing there, smiling at me. "How did you know?" He laughs softly and walks towards me. "Because a few years ago, you told me you wanted a mini library with a window nook and a spiral staircase. So after you told me, I hired a couple of guys and added that as an extension of the cabin, even helped out the guys" I smile and hug him.

"Now I really feel guilty for not coming sooner" He wraps me in his arms. "I told you it's okay. I'm just glad that you are here now" I pull away and look back at the stairs before looking back. "I feel like if you keep this up, you'll just end up building my dream house" He smirks at me.

"I had the entire cabin renovated so that it's kinda your dream house. But now that you said that, maybe I'll do just that" I roll my eyes. "Where do you even get all this money?" He hums. "I told you about my brother plus my business. My business has actually started to get big. So I am pretty rich but the work is a pain but worth it. So I get to spoil my beautiful girl and our future kids"

I blush and then frown but before I can talk he speaks. "I know you have your own money but I'd rather you save it for your cafe and employees while I spoil you. You can spoil anyone else other than me, cause I wanna support you and give you all the things you desire and dream about" I nod.

"Alright, but I'll still spoil you with some gifts cause what else would you desire other than me?" I smirk and he laughs, picking me up, causing me to wrap my legs and arms around him.

"That's very true sunshine, I've been wanting and needing to be around you for so long and now, fuck. You. Are. Mine. And I'm sure as hell never letting you go" I smile and rake my fingers through his hair. "I wouldn't want it in any other way"
