Chapter 14

"Thank you for everything Nadia," I told Graham's mom, "It's really nice of you to let us your New Hampshire house."

"Don't repeat it too much or she'll change her mind," Graham whispered elbowing my ribs.

Nadia smiled widely, "Oh honey, you're welcome."

"Once again, why can't I come?" Ruby questioned with a puppy face.

Graham ruffled her hair, "Ruby you are too small."

"I'm not small, I'm eight now!" She snapped crossing her arms. Nadia pulled her in a hug and sent us an amused smile.

"Ruby could you please go upstairs for a second?" She said, when Ruby left Nadia proceeded, "Well... What can I say?"

Graham faked a smile, "Don't say anything, mom. We'll be perfect angels." He flexed his jaw, "And now, if you let me... we have people to pick up." Graham started walking out.

"Wait, young man." Nadia interrupted him, "You will call me everyday at lunch time, alright?"

Graham brang his hands to his face in embarassement, "But we'll be fine."

"You heard me, now go," She checked the time on her phone, "I'm waiting for someone and I don't want you to-"

Ding dong

"I think that person you're waiting is already here, mom, I'll go open the door," Nadia sighed and bit her lip like if something was about to turn out wrong.

I turned around and found Graham staring at a man in disbelief.

"Mom, what the heck is Dr. Ross doing here?" Graham said still in shock.

Nadia rubbed the back of her neck, "I had to talk to him about some things, money and all that..." The man furrowed his eyebrows amused.

Her voice was shaky, I knew she wasn't saying the truth but Graham seemed to buy it, "Alrighty then, see you in 5 days mom!" He told her kissing her cheek.

"Good bye, Nadia," I waved walking out of the house.

"Whut the hell! This house is amazing, bud," Neal, the football team's quarterback exclaimed. It was one of the first times I heard him talk, he had the same face expression as Graham... stereothypical bad boy and player.

"Guys come here, I'll show you the house," Graham said and we all followed him upstairs.

"Okay so I've divided the bedrooms and we'll sleep two in each, that works with all of you right?" We all nodded and he continued talking as we walked through the corridor, "This is the first room, Carter and Neal will sleep there... We will meet in about 15 minutes in the living room."

Suddenly I thought of something... If we were sleeping in pairs and Neal and Carter were sleeping together, that meant one of us girls would sleep with Graham, and with the luck I've had having these days, for sure it was going to be me. Carter and Neal entered the room and Kota, Lea, Graham and I were left alone still walking through the corridor.

"Second room, Lea and Kota," Graham smirked and Kota looked at me wiggling her eyebrows, both of them entered the room and left me and Graham by ourselves.

"Graham, I don't think it's a good idea..." I told him rubbing the back of my neck and walking forward.

He chuckled, "It's not like we're gonna do something dark there, babydoll."

I rolled my eyes, "This I know."

Graham opened the door towards me and it revealed one kingsized bed, may I repeat, one bed. Just when I put one foot inside of it Graham closed the door behind me and I gasped nervously.
