Later on that day, back at the hotel..

Grayson's POV

After drying off from getting out of the shower, I change into a pair of boxers along with a white t-shirt and some blue basketball shorts, then head to the kitchen to see what I can cook for dinner. Deciding on just some burgers and chips, I begin pulling out the ingredients, then pause when I hear my phone's alarm go off and I instantly smile. I set it this morning to let me know when it'd be eight am over there in Texas where Nelly's at.

I grab my phone and turn off the alarm and dial her number. It rings a good three times before I hear her voice on the other end saying,"Heyy Gray, how's your day going?" My smile widens at the dash of raspiness in her voice, noting that she had just woken up and say,"So far so good sweetheart, good morning. How did you sleep last night?" She yawns and say,"Pretty good, I'd say that that was the best sleep I've gotten in a while since you left. Anyways what are you up to?"

I walk back over to the stove and crank it up to medium heat and grab the box of frozen patties saying,"Currently wishing I was at home eating your delicious fried chicken.." I hear her laugh on the other end and although it's nothing compared to how beautiful it sounds in person, it still made my world stop for just a quick second to lavish in the lovely sound. I say,"Hey baby, there's something I wanna tell you." She saids,"Okay, go on I'm listening."

I smile and say,"I got him baby." I hear her sharp intake of breath as silence fills the line. Worried, I ask,"Nelly?.. Sweetheart are you still there?" She yells out,"YESSS! Wooooohooo! Thank you Jesus! Finally! Finally! FINALLY! WOOO!" I laugh and celebrate along with her over the phone, feeling very much proud that I have pleased her yet again.

After a while, we calm down and she asks, trying to catch her breath,"How did you get 'em Gray? I wanna know every detail." I chuckle and say,"I promise you really don't want to know baby girl, but if you really really just have know I'll give you all the nasty details when I come home, alright?" She giggles and say,"Alright. Grayson I can't wait for you to get back! This is great! When will you be home?"

I sigh and say,"Well I still have one more thing left to do." She asks, trying to mask the sadness in her voice,"W-What's that Gray?" I say,"I have to find Daniel." She asks confusedly,"What? Why?" I place the phone on the counter and put it on speaker so I can a put a little bit of grease in the skillet and place it on the stove saying,"I need to have a talk with him, and let him know not to mess with us. I want to make it very clear to him honey." She groans and say,"I understand.."

I take note of the disappointment laced in her voice and disappointing her is the last thing I wanna do to my wife, it's almost like a sin. A sin I never want to commit. I say to her,"Nelly baby, I'm so so so sorry, but I have to do this. It's the only way we can truly move on and be free from Peter. I have to make sure this does not happen again." She sighs and say,"I get that Gray, really I do, but don't you just wanna take like a little break? Only for a little while?" I rub the back of my neck and say,"Oh course I want to Nelly, you know that... Listen to me baby, are you still with me?"

She saids instantly,"Always Gray." I sigh of relief and smile slightly saying,"Good... Look baby, I'll be home in no more than a couple weeks alright?" She sighs and say,"Alright." I say, trying to lighten the mood as I place the patties on the now hot pan,"Good, know stop pouting and get your ass out of bed little girl." I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up as her laughter fills my suite through the line and she saids,"Oh shut up. What are you even doing?" I smile and say,"Making some burgers and fries... And talking to my lovely wife." I can already tell that she was blushing as she saids,"Oh stop it Gray.." My smile widens and I ask,"Did you get a new phone yet sweetheart?" She gasps and get out of bed I presume from the noise in the background and say,"Oh yeah I completely forgot! Let's FaceTime! Oh wait no, let me go get myself together real fast." I groan in agitation and say,"Nellyyy...." She saids, sounding far away from the phone,"It'll only take a second Gray, calm down."
