Brooklyn Grayson's Pov

"Wakey wakey! Rise and shine Brooklyn! Time for us to go shopping."

Squinting my eyes, I groaned as my eyes try to adjust to the sunlight that invaded my room after Maya opens my curtains.

"Maya? What time is it?" I asked her as I sat up, my brain slowly waking up.

"It's Seven in the morning. Come on we have a full day ahead of us! We'll leave after breakfast, I'll see you downstairs. Don't take too long and don't worry about Jeremy, he's already awake."

Impulsively the first thing I did after I woken up was to check my phone. It was still the same as before I went to bed. I sighed, what was I even expecting?

I made a quick job of getting myself ready and went downstairs to meet up with Maya and Jeremy. She really wasn't kidding when she said we are having a long day tomorrow. The sun just came up and I'm already being drag to a shopping spree. Are the malls even open right now?

What I wasn't expecting when I got down was that Blake was standing right in front of me, shirtless and sweaty when the elevator door opens. I would be lying if I said I wasn't checking him out. His muscles is bulging from his movements of drinking water and I can see all the eight packs of his abs. I mentally took a deep gulped.

Our eyes connected almost instantly, the awkward tension filling the air but it doesn't last long. "Enjoying the view Miss Grayson?" He gave me a devilish smirk, flexing his chest muscle as he stared at me.

"I -" I mentally stammer, further amusing him. "You know what get out of my way." Pushing him to aside, I walk passed him. My hand unintentionally having direct contact with his muscular chest.

He chuckles before we swap places with him in the elevator right now and me outside of the door. "You're cute when you're embarrassed." He tells me right before the door closes.

If I could I would be throwing a shoe right at beautiful his face now. Wait did I just said beautiful?

"There you are! I thought you went back to sleep after I left!" Maya says as she walks in my direction. "Wait why are your cheeks so red?"

My hands went straight up to my face trying to rub away the embarrassment of just now. "Must be the weather."

"Right. Go have your breakfast, Jeremy is already in there with Daddy. I'll meet you when you're done." She eyes me suspiciously.

I smiled awkwardly at her, making my way to the dining hall as fast as possible. Right now all I want to do is find a hole and bury myself deep in it after that encounter with Blake. Why is he even shirtless and all sweaty?

"Good morning Brooklyn. Did you have good sleep?" Looking up from his newspaper, Henry asks me the moment I stepped in.

"I had a great sleep, thank you Henry for letting us stay here." I smiled at him. I really did have a great sleep and I probably would still be sleeping if Maya hadn't wake me up. That bed is way to comfy and soft.

Taking a seat next to Jeremy I noticed that he has already piled a bunch of his favourite food on his plate eating happily. Looks like somebody is adjusting just fine. Morning Sis you really have to try the pancakes here, they are absolutely heaven." He says with a mouthful of food.

Henry lets out a deep chuckle, throwing his head back as he did. "I'm glad you enjoy yourself here Jeremy. You're welcome to stay here as long as you want."

Jeremy looks up at me with hopeful eyes, the ones that I can't bare to disappoint. This kid has already been through hell and back, I'll be damned if I let anything happens to him. Keeping him safe and happy is my number one priority. "How long would we staying here?"
