Chapter 5: Breakfast at Elio's

Grace's POV

I woke up around 7 and started to get ready for the day. I left a note last night for Dad on the kitchen counter that I will not be needing breakfast. When I came down after getting ready I saw that dad had replied to my little note.

'Sure, have a great day. Love you. P.S will be back after 7 tonight.' I smiled.

I went to the shed in search of my bicycle, expecting it to be very dusty but to my surprise it was looking brand new. 'Dad must has cleaned up for me' I thought. I rode the cycle towards the direction of Elio's house. The whole way to his place was very magical! The trees, the wind, there was even a river I had to pass through to get to his place. About 20 minutes later I arrived. I stopped a few meters away from his house and placed my cycle near a tree and walked to his front door. I rang the door bell and waited. I turned to the side of the porch and noticed two butterflies flying together. It was so beautiful, I sometimes wish I could fly. I turned my head back to door to see what was taking so long for someone to answer the door and I screamed when I saw that there was already someone at the door staring at me.

"What the fuck!" It was 'Dusk'! What is he doing here?

"Well hello to you too, Dawn."

"Why are you here?"

"Heard Grace will be coming, and since I couldn't find her yesterday I thought I will try my luck today."

Fuck me. "Well good luck." I said as I tried to enter the house but he blocked my way and I looked up at him.

"You didn't happen to arrive with her did you?"

"Well only one person can ride that cycle of mine so no, I didn't. Now if you will excuse me." I said as I tried shoving past him but he didn't move a bit. Great all those years of training and I can't even shove past a 6 foot guy. Annoyed I looked at him, "What?"

"Boy you are strong one."

"Whatever move."

"No."

"I don't have time to fight with children."

"I will have you know I am not a child Ms. Silver."

I looked up at him with a bit of shock, He knows my surname now? Yet here I am, not even knowing his first name. "Well you sure are acting like one."

Before he could open his mouth and say some filth, Jeremey came.

"Come on guys I am hungry." Am I at Elio's house or....?

"Why are you here?"

"Well if you must know Grace, Elio is my best friend and I tend to spend time at his house now and then."

"Grace?" 'Dusk' said as he looked behind me, I rolled my eyes. "I don't see any Grace, I can only see Dawn as clear as day." he said and had a smug look on his face as if the last line should win him some award. Pathetic.

Before I could respond Elio saw me from the kitchen and came to the door, Thank you Jesus!

"Heyyy Grace come on in ."

"Yes thank you." I glared at Dusk when I entered.

"Mom is at the back setting up the table." He said as he grabbed a blow.

"Okay will go and say hi." I said as I went to their patio and saw her placing the plates on the table.

"Tereasa!"

"Grace!" she placed the rest of the plates she was holding in her arm at the table and came in for a hug.

"How are you darling?"
