Athena N...
The next afternoon ------------------------------- I had just posted my ad up online explaining my abilities and what I'd be willing to do as well as pricing. I sigh and turn my PC off to have a break and just when I was about to get up, my phone started to ring.
I answer it confused, since I don't recognize the number. "Hello? " I ask. "Athena?... Is that you? " I hear a woman's voice say. I recognized it. "Grandma? " I ask even more confused. "I never thought you'd call me... I was told that you never wanted to see me again ever since the accident" I say. "Who told you such things? " she asked. "Mom and auntie"
"Those daughters of mine" she said disappointedly and sighed. "Listen I saw your ad, since I have you on Facebook...i think it's time we talk... In person" she said and I grow concerned. "Well as much as I'd love to come visit, I'm not in a good enough place to be traveling... " I say a little disappointed. "Oh don't worry dear, In coming to you, I'm already at the airport! Plus a little birdy told me about a special someone to you and I'd like to meet him" she said and I blush a bit. "Of course, I can make sure a room is set up for you... Call me when your plane lands... " I say smiling. "See you soon dear, I love you" she said. "I love you too grandma, see you soon" I said and hung up.
I take a deep breath before getting up heading to the kids room. It was decorated like a guest room so it should work but I started cleaning the toys up and organize them so they aren't just scattered around. I hear the front door open and close, "babe im home! " I hear from downstairs. "I'm in the kids room! " I call back and continue to clean. My grandma isn't a clean freak or judgemental, I just clean when I'm nervous. I hear him come up the stairs to the room. "Hey whatcha doin? " he asked walking in. I turn to look at him, "nervous cleaning.... " I answer honestly. "Why what happened? " he asked concerned.
"My grandma is visiting.... As in she's already at the airport and should be here in a couple of hours.... She said she saw my ad and that it 'was time for us to talk' so now I'm stressing because I don't know what she means and it's freaking me out an-" I say starting to rant and slightly hyperventilate and quickly takes the toys from hands and hugs me. "Ok ok it's fine, everything will be fine, I've got you" he said while rubbing my back. I start to calm down in his arms and rest my head on his shoulder. "She also really wants to meet you... " I say softly and he nods. "Well then I'll meet her and then you guys can have your talk, everything will be ok I'm sure. Now how about instead of nervous cleaning, we take your mind off of it. While I was out I may or may not have gotten you some things." He said while taking my hand in his and we head down stairs. "You didn't have to get me anything" I say feeling bad. "I know... But I wanted to... I was gonna wait until tomorrow for our 1 month but who says we can celebrate a day early" he said and I blush. He leads me to the kitchen were the bags were on the counter. "First and foremost here"he said handing me a bouquet of flowers. I take them blushing and smile softly.

" I know you don't really like real flowers so they are fake, which in opinion is better because now you can keep it.... I also got you this" he said and places another bouquet down but of candy.
