P Is Silent.

chapter 21

I was on cloud nine, really I'm sure the people who saw me thought I was a lunatic.

The way the helpers and man in black where looking at me sure confirmed it.

But in my defence, It wasn't everyday your grumpy fake fìance offered to take you out and treat you like a princess- I was already one but you get my point.

After yesterday's failed attempt at being romantic, although the fault lies solemnly on Alex, I was more happy that it did not turn well than upset.

I woke up early today just so I could get dressed, make my favourite breakfast before Alex and I could start our day.

"Goodmorning, you can go home now, take a day off, spend it with your families." I smiled at the two ladies at the kitchen, they nodded before thanking me and walking out.

I took out all that I needed to make waffles while singing a soft tune. Today was a good day indeed. I was wearing a dark blue longsleeved lace dress that reached just above my knees, paired with my flat blue sneakers, a girl has to be comfortable people. Still singing, I continued to make waffles. Grey..I mean Alex walked out a few minutes later on his phone.

"Yes, cancel all of my meetings, don't call me unless someone is being admitted to the I.C.U or heavens help you...." He gave out a lecture and I smiled, he was such a drama queen sometimes.

After dropping the phone he walked in the kitchen and kissed my cheek. "Morning." He announced before continuing his journey to the fridge.

I stood there staring at his back and smiled, he was being affectionate and that mean't I was close to having his heart.

Alex wore a dark grey fitting shirt top that hugged him perfectly,  a pair of dark blue chinnos and a pair of black short sneakers.
I shall forever thank Fiona for that.

"Sit and have breakfasts with me." I envited him over.

While eating breakfast Alex kept staring at me and I got annoyed. "What is it?" I asked him. He stared a few more minutes before he blunted. "You look beautiful."

Instead of me blushing up a storm here, Alex had turned mash.

He rubbed his neck , slightly touching his weird grey-like hair. To save him the embarrassment, I smiled at him and told him that he looked handsome as well.

***************************************

"I still can not believe that I said choose anywhere you want to go and you start by this place." Alex snickered at my choice and I only smiled at him. "What?" I replied then pressed the bell.

Dylan opened the door, and the moment he saw us, he smiled a blinding smile. I could see Alex rolling his eyes at the site of his father and I hugging  like we where best friend.

"Thanks for ruining my date Dad." Alex complained while we walked inside the house. His father chuckled a little before following behind us.

When we walked to the kitchen I almost hit face first on Alex's back.

He froze and I wanted to smack him in the head...but when the voice spoke I looked up to see a women dressed in a silk red sleeping gown. Her Dark hair framing her face. She was pretty though you could tell that she was older, her laughter lines appeared around her mouth and eyes.

"Oh! I'm sorry...Dylan didn't tell me we had visitors. ..I'm May." I could tell she was feeling uncomfortable, so I smiled and walked towards her." Hie..Vero..the grey-one's..." I hesitated a little, but Alex finished it for me. "Girlfriend."

She seemed to relax a bit. "Dylan, I didn't know you had company." I asked a now flushed Dylan. "I kind of wanted you to meet her." He said shyly.

I had not spent much time with Dylan but since i meet him he seemed Genuine and a happy go person, he was the only one that seemed to understand Grey and he seemed to be the only person that Grey let on.

So it was of importance that I bond with him, hence why we are here. "Oh!" I replied then smiled. Grey stood still as if analysing the women.

"I know how you feel about women Alex, that is why I waited so long to tell you about May...I hope you understand. " I could hear the worry in his voice. He wanted him to approve and the silent was killing him.

Grey stood there for a few minutes before he averted his eyes from May who was unfazed by his graze to his father. His lips twitched and Dylan sighed in relief.

"We already had breakfast, but we would like it if you joined us to a picnic,  we can get to know each other that way."

Grey spoke. Dylan smile so did May. They rushed to get ready and I smiled at the scenery .

"I would ask what the smile is for , but I will rather not princess." He said walking away. I frowned I hated people calling me princess, I may have been one but in my defence I wasn't given choice there.

I followed Grey to the living room." I shall tell you. You may be grey and all but I like that." I smiled again before sitting on the nearest couch. He simple stood there staring at me.

***********************************

After about an hour May and Dylan came down and we headed to the park. The day went by, May and I chatted a lot found out her and Dylan had been seeing each other for a few months now. She didn't have any children because she had cancer in her womb and it had to be removed when she was in her early twenties.

Grey was...well him although he was still closed of to the world , his eyes held a happy light, I could tell he was happy for his father. And as long as Dylan was happy,  Grey was happy and if he was happy so was I.

I felt at ease like I was living my own Fairytale. ...well that was untill my father called telling me I was to return as soon as possible. This Princess business was a kill joy.
