Martin Raul Vincento's POV

I held her hand as we both walked in. I can't believe I am in my grandfather's house. I have never visited before. Not even one. My mother married my father against my grandparent's concern. That's all I know. I looked beside me and found Diana looking around the wooden house curiously. She turned to me and gave me a smile. God, that smile! She doesn't know that it gives me so much confidence.

"Sit down. I will get water for you both. You both must have been tired", he said and went inside. I don't know why, but for some reason, I am feeling nervous. Why is it? Maybe it is because this is the first time I am meeting my grandfather. I felt a tug on my hand and found her nodding her head towards the couch to sit down. We both sat down just before my grandfather came with two glasses of water.

"Thank you sir", Diana said taking both the glasses from him as she stood up and gave me one before sitting down beside me. I held her hand once she sat down. I need her support right now. He sat in the chair in front of us with a smile on his face.

"No problem dear. Call me Gary".

"Thank you, Gray. Your house is nice. Comfort and cozy. I like it". I looked around the room. It sure is comfort and cosy.

"It's all his grandmother's taste", he said smiling. "The whole house, every room and even the barn behind the house, everything is made according to her taste", he laughed at the end. Then I remember hearing from my father that my grandmother died when I was a kid.

"Wow! You have a barn! Can I see it?!". Her excited voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Do you have horses too?!", she asked with more excitement. I just want to smile at her now. Her big eyes wide with curiosity.

"Of course dear. You want to see now?", he asked her laughing.

"Yes".

"Okay, let's go. It's behind the house", he said standing up. We both stood up too. Like always Diana is excited to see the house. Once we came out of the house, we went to the barn. She smiled at me and held my arm with both of her hands as her side is pressed against my arm.

"Baby, I know this hard. But please try. He is your grandfather. Try to talk with him. You will definitely feel light", she said with worry in her eyes, although the smile is still on her face. She is looking at me with so much hope in her eyes. I closed my eyes for a minute before opening them to look at her.

"I will try", I assured her. I want to try too. After all, he is the only family left to me. I am not good at talking with someone. But I have to try.

"Good. Love you", she said and stood on her toes to give me a kiss on my cheek. I smiled instantly for a second and all the tension in me just left me. Her sweet gestures, always makes me happy. They make my heart beat. She reminds me that I have a heart too.

We heard a cough and turned to see that it's from grandfather. Diana blushed and pressed her lips together. She is so cute sometimes. I just want to wisk her away from the whole world and keep her with me safely in my place.

"Sorry", she apologized. He laughed again.

"Oh dear. No need to say sorry for that. He is your man. You can do whatever you want with him. I am sure my grandson wouldn't mind", he said winking at me. That just made her blush more and hid her face in my chest and a smile erupted on my lips at his words. Although my heart tugged with happiness once I heard him calling me his grandson.

"I wouldn't mind", I replied and she pushed away to hit my arm lightly.

"Come on dear. I will show you the whole barn and the farm", he said turning around and walking in that direction. We walked behind him and reached the barn. It is built of wood. There were two men working inside. There were gunny bags and the floor looks like it is sprinkled with grains. "We store all the wheat here".
