Dirty Laundry

Chapter 7: Thank You

I grabbed my iPhone off my nightstand and dialed my grandmas home number. Since she barely keeps her phone with her. It rang a few times before it stopped ringing.

"Hello." She said threw the call.

A huge smile spread across my face, heading her voice made tears roll down my cheeks. I was so happy to hear her voice.

"Toni?" She said again.

"Hi grandma." I cried out.

She was silent for awhile. "Hi baby girl." I smiled.

I never wanted this call to ever end. I began to sob into the call, and sniff a little because it felt so good to hear her talk again.

"What's wrong baby girl?"

I shook my head, as if she could see me. "Nothing." I whispered. I wiped my few tears away and calmed my tone down. "It just feels so good to hear you talk again, I miss you so much granny!" I breathed.

"And I miss you to." It sounded as if she began to cry as well.

"Are you crying?" I asked wiping my tears.

"Yes." She sighed. "But it's tears of joy, how are you?"

I sighed, taking a deep breath. "Am good..." I trailed off. "How's grandma?"

"His well." She said.

"And... How is everything going with him?" I asked stuttering a bit.

"So good baby girl, Will has been paying for all his treatment, your grandfathers bills. His such a good man." I could feel her smiling.

It made me regret the things I've said to him. His really taking care of my grandparents... I smiled a bit, I looked straight at my bedroom door and listened to my grandma tell me about how life has been. What she has been doing. How she misses me. It felt so amazing to hear her voice

Will
I sat in my office at the house. I looked onto my desk and grabbed the pamphlet that laid across my keypad to my PC.

I was hesitant about opening the pamphlet at first, but slowly began to tear the top open. Until a knock on my door caught my attention... I looked up and placed the pamphlet back onto my desk.

"Come in!" I shouted.

I looked down at my PC's screen and smiled, Dylan Roberts had finally accepted my invitation for lunch, to discuss some serious business.

"Will." I looked up and saw Toni. I was surprised to see her.

I sat up straight in my chair and folded my arms across my chest.

"Yes." I nodded.

She looked down and began to fiddle with her fingers, before she said something...

"I came to thank you..." She started.

"For?" I asked a bit confused.

She slowly lifted her head up and looked straight at me. "For taking care of my grandparents, for paying for my grandfathers treatments." She added. "Thank you." She smiled.

"There's no need to thank me. Am just doing what I promised you that I will do if you married me." I said nodding my head. "Toni," I started.

She looked at me and raised her brow at me. "Yes." She said.

"Get some rest. You've been crying the whole night. Rest will do you good." I mentioned.

She stared at me for awhile, before she turned around and turned the knob to the door. She spun around but didn't say anything.

"Good night Will." She smiled weakly, "and thank you again, you don't know how much they mean to be." She walked out and closed the door behind her.
