11- love? never heard of it.

Samantha's POV

Grayson Bailey Dolan was in my living room. I let that sink in.

"Thank you so much for driving me back Gray". I say as we walked into the living room. "It's no big deal". He shrugged.

"No really, thank you". I smiled resting my hand on his chest. My aunt was sitting on the couch reading a book. She looks up and smiles.

"Thank God you're here, and who's this handsome man you brought home Samantha?". She asked.

"Hello, I'm Grayson, Grayson Dolan ma'am". He smiled shaking her hand. "Call me Ana". She half smiled. Something was bugging her.

"Grayson Dolan?". She repeated again. "Yes ma'am". He smiled. "I had heard alot about your family, I'm sorry that your father was murdered. You're in my prayers". She says. "Thank you". He half smiled.

I frowned and stare at her, she was about to blow my cover. "Um, you know him Aunty?". I asked/lied. "Why Samantha, I see him on the newspapers. You should read them". She responded with a fake smile.

"Well don't just stand there, come, come sit". She told Grayson, patting a spot next to her.

He smiles and sits. Leaving me standing. "Would you like a cup of tea?". My aunt asked him. "Um, yes please". Grayson responded.

"Samantha, go tell Layne to bring a pack of cookies from the kitchen". My aunt tells me. I glare at her. She glared back.

"Of course". I fake smiled and walked away.

Grayson's POV

Samantha left to get a pack of cookies leaving me alone with her aunt Ana.

"So, tell me how you both met". Ana asked sounding interested. "Well, we meet earlier today, and we caught on from there". I say.

She frowned, then smiled. "Like they say, true love at first sight does exist, but don't tell Samantha I told you, she isn't a believer of that stuff". She says.

"You look like you could be a romantic, treat her right, by the look in your eyes, I can see you're already in love, and it's not early either. It's never too soon". She says.

"What if she doesn't feel the same, she's playing hard to get". I sighed. I never opened up to anyone like I'm opening up to Samantha's aunt.

There's something in me that knows I can trust her. "Trust me, she's falling too". She smiled. "I hope so". I say.

"Let this be our little secret, between me and you ok?". She says. I nod and she laughs.

"Ana, Layne is making tea. But in the meantime, I brought the cookies". Samantha says coming in with a plate with cookies.  

I smile at her. Am I falling for Samantha? How can Ana tell? Is Samantha falling for me too? It feels too early.

"Um, Dolan? Are you going to grab one?". Samantha laughed giving me a cookie. "oh yeah, sorry I was just thinking". I said.

"Of?". She asked furrowing her eyebrows together. "Nothing important". I said shaking my head.

"Oh, did you know Samantha made the cookies?". Ana tell me. "Wow, they're honestly amazing". I said taking a bite into one.

"Thank you". Samantha blushed. It was cute.

Samantha's POV

I hope he didn't notice me blush. I can't fall in love. That wasn't part of the plan. But fall in love? That's a strong word, I don't want to like him.

It'll be better if he fell in love though, then it would all go onto place. He will end up proposing to me.

I will meet his family. And plan my revenge on his uncle. Andy Dolan. For killing my mother and son.

Believe it or not, but all this was planned on my way to the estate. Before I crashed into him.

Yes I know, I'm using Grayson to get to his uncle. But trust me, the only one that'll end up hurt is me.

"Hahaha, really?!". Grayson laughed disrupting me from my thoughts. "Yes. I was a player". Ana says making him laugh more.

"Ana! I never knew about this!". I laugh along too. "Well, now you know". She smiled.

"I would never consider myself that, yes, when i was younger I loved to party. But I'm focusing on getting my spot in the estate back". He smiled.

"Wow, Samantha likes men who party and work hard". My aunt says making me almost spit my tea.

"Don't even drag me into this". Laughed wiping my mouth with a napkin. "Oh but I will, when Samantha was younger, all she did was party". She laughed.

"Wow". Ethan laughed. "At least I wasn't a player". I muttered. "Samantha Beer!". Ana says making me and Grayson laugh.

"Let's not bring that up again". I laughed shaking my head. "You act like a child, you're 24! Samantha, act like someone your age. Like Grayson". She smirked.

I look at her and roll my eyes annoyed. His name is giving me a headache. Grayson turns to look at me and I imediately turn my frown into a smile.

"Maybe I should". I say smiling at him. I know I got him. I basically hypnotized him.

"Uh, I think I should get going". Grayson sighed getting up. "It was nice to meet you Ana". He smiled at my aunt.

"Oh boy, you won my heart". She says hugging him. I found it cute because she was pretty short. And Grayson was very tall.

He chuckled. "I'll walk you out". I say guiding him to the door. "It was nice meeting your aunt, and you, it's so weird because we just met earlier. And now I feel like we've known each other for ages". He smiled.

"I never let anyone in my house other than my aunt. You should congratulate yourself". I laughed.

"So, um, are you busy tommorow?". He asked rubbing the back of his neck. "are you?". I asked.

"Actually no, all the business stuff can wait, we should have some fun". He suggested.

"What? I just met you!". I laughed. He frowned. "I'm just kidding, text me later when you're not driving, I don't want you texting and driving". I say.

"I like how you're worried about me". He smirked. "Don't you have any meetings to attend Dolan?". I ask.

"Nope". He says popping the p. "Ok bye Gray!". I say walking back to my house. "Bye Sam!". He says getting in his car.

I stood there waiting for his car to leave. Once it did, I went back inside.
