Playing Cupid

Chapter 5 | I found a mini Grayson

Tonight was my first teaching lesson to Grayson. When I made the deal I didn't know how difficult it would be until the first date had happened.

We had decided to go to his house since going to my house raises a lot of suspicion, especially with Mason around I didn't want him to find out anything about this.

"Holy shit" I spoke in awe as I stared at the mansion. I didn't know Grayson was rich.
I stood at the gate looking at the address in my phone again, hoping it would be wrong. Yet it read the same as the address. I swear if Grayson sent this address to me as a joke I will kill him.

The huge black gate ran along as I looked beyond the gate. The driveway led into a large circle around the estate with a huge water fountain in the middle. The garden was cut to perfection, the lawn perfectly mowed and the flowers grew to the exact height. Everything about this screamed perfection.

I decided to call Grayson as I wasn't planning on jumping the gate.

He picked up on the first call. "Hazel" he greeted.

"Grayson"

He faked being worried. "Your five minutes late, honestly I thought you did a runner"

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry, I just got distracted by this huge ass mansion"

"Anyway, how exactly do I get in?" I asked.

In a dead serious tone he replied. "Jump the gate, don't get shot by the security guards and make it past the lasers placed on the lawn"

I gave out an irritated sigh. "Grayson"

Although I knew he was joking I couldn't help but wonder if he had the lasers. When your rich you can get absolutely anything.

"Just press the black button that says speaker and tell him the code 6014" he replied.

I hung up and walked up to the huge iron gates and pressed the speaker button.

"Collins estate" a man spoke on the other line.

"6014" I repeated hoping I had remembered the numbers correctly.

One thing I know for certain is that I have a bad memory.

Yet I felt a sense of relief when the gates started opening and I hesitantly walked in slowly.

Beyond the driveway sat a four storey mansion, something I swore I've never seen before. It had a modern touch to it with grey and white splashes of colour.

My eyes scanned over the four garages and the huge front door.

The door opened and a figure started walking out.

As the person neared me he took my breath away once again. For some reason Grayson was wearing a handsome black tuxedo with his hair gelled back.

The sun reflected on his high cheekbones and strong jawline as his blue eyes twinkled.

As we both edged closer and came to a stop in front of each other I cocked my head at his attire. "I'm sorry I didn't seem to get the memo" I indicated toward his outfit.

He waved it off. "I have somewhere to be after this"

Of course he wouldn't just randomly wear suits around his house.

I nodded as I followed him to the direction of his front door.

"You didn't tell me you were rich" I started.

"I'm not rich, my parents are rich" He corrected me. "Why does that bother you?"

"No, I just would've raised the price to my services if I had known"I gave him a smile.
