My Next Door Neighbor

Chapter 47

Penelope's POV: Four months later

"What about this dress Cherry?" She shakes her head and Travis agrees. I groan. "It looks nice on her" dad says. "You guys! This is the fifth wedding dress I tried on! Dad is the only one saying something but whatever, I'm trying on one more and that's it!" I take the ends of the dress up slightly and walk down. "I'm so sorry about them" The lady shakes her head. "It's quite alright, ready to try this last one on?" I nod.

We continue down the hallway before a wave of nausea comes over time and I stop, holding my stomach. "Are you alright?" I shake my slightly to shake away the nausea. "I'm okay, just felt nauseous. Weird, must've been something I ate" I lean against the door and nod. "I'm okay now" The lady bites her lip worriedly. "Are you sure hun?" I nod and smile. "Yea I'm sure, let's go" She nods.

We enter the dressing room and she helps take off the one I had on and helps me with the last dress. It's a floor length long sleeve dress with lace flower patterns on it. I love this dress. I walk out and hold the dress up, smiling I enter the place where Cherry, Travis and dad are waiting. I smile and stand up on the platform. "Well?" Cherry smiles nodding and so does  Travis.

"Doll, I never said I didn't like the other dresses, it's just-" Travis cuts her off. "You didn't smile like this with the other dresses" I smile and look at dad to see him tearing up. "Wha- dad what's wrong?" He shakes his head. "You're all grown up pumpkin, and anyways where is the wedding taking place?" I smile, shaking my head. "Grayson says he has a perfect place but he wants to show me it first" I see Travis smirk.

"What is it Travis? I know you know" He smiles, nodding. "I do, but you don't and I'm keeping it a secret but you'll love it. It looks great and perfect for you" The lady worker walks up to me. "So are you saying yes to the dress?" I smile, nodding. "Yes! I love this dress." Cherry stands up and walks to me, hugging me. "You look gorgeous!" I can't wait until Grayson sees me in it.

The next day Grayson blindfolded me for a car ride for thirty minutes before stopping someplace. "Grayson, where are we?" I feel him kiss my cheek. "You'll see sunshine" He gets out the car and he opens my door, helping me out, taking my hand and pulling me gently along. "Where are we? I feel gravel under my shoes." I hear him chuckle. "Cause that is gravel, anyways." He stops me. "You know how when I took you to my cabin, you jokingly said that I'd build you a house?" I sigh, smiling nervously.

"No you didn't" I hear him chuckle. "Yes I did." I hear him walk behind me and take off my blindfold, I open my eyes to adjust to the light and see a big wooden house with a big yard, I turn around to see lots of land and trees.

"Grayson?" I turn to him to see him smiling. "I may have bought the land and hired people to build a house for us. I hope everything is up to your standards sunshine, they just stopped building everything a month ago. And I've already bought some, not all, but some furniture. Come on" I take his hand and he leads me inside.

It's basically like the cabin but bigger, the living room is first, then the main stair well, then the kitchen down a hall, that's connected to the dining room through a door, a bathroom and then the library area with spiral stairs leading up to a hallway with bookshelves and a window nook. Grayson leads me up to the second floor

"There's six rooms in total up here, the master bedroom, aka our bedroom. Two rooms for our kids, two guest bedrooms and a bathroom. But I made sure everything is spaced out. So, do you like it?" I turn to him. "I love it, you really did do my dream home. I literally talked about my dream house like two years before we started dating" He smiles and brings my left hand up, kissing my knuckle.
