Is it love? Grace's story 🔞 Adam or Owen?

Freedom

Grace's point of view.

What would you do for your freedom? What have you done for your freedom? What about what have you done for other people's freedom? What about children and people who can't fight for themselves? What about animals? 

What about the environment? Oil consumption? Oil extraction? What about the trees being cut down? Not only are you causing the death of something thats probably been around longer than you, but it also is a habitat for thousands of animals.

This are questions very few people ask, let alone answer.

I have been taught since a young age, that it's important to not only to ask these questions, but to fight for the right, to remember we all have the right to freedom of speech, and the destruction of the only planet we have.

What about the landfills, the amount of waste deposited not only by individuals but by big companies, these items and the way the dispose of items is wrong, many could be donated to thousands of people and animals in need, homeless shelters, children shelters, food banks.

Grace... grace... Matt taps me on my shoulder as I'm writing in my book.

Are you even listening to me? He sas smirking

What sorry? I say startled. He laughs.

I heard Adam saw you on Saturday at the beach. He raises his eyebrow and puts his pen back in his mouth staring at me waiting on an answer. 

I sigh. Yeah, he was there I was there. I turn back to my computer looking at the project in which we have 2 days to complete.

So, did you say yes to a do over date? I sigh.

I spin around on my office chair to face him, look Matt. I sigh again, I know he's your mate an all, but I just... (I shake my head) 

Come on grace, what's wrong with him? Has he go 2 heads? Does he smoke?  Oh my god I get it he stands up and leans over to whisper, does he have a 3rd nipple? 

I can't help but burst out laughing, setting Matt of too.

Oh my god, your terrible, I might tell him you asked that, I push his shoulder so he sits back in his chair.

His eyes widen in shock as he starts laughing again.

As cassidy appears out of no-where. This is an office, not a comedy night club, I suggest if you want to keep your job, get back to work. 

I raise an eyebrow at her, as she says problem?

I just could not help myself with this woman,  actually yes, if you have a problem, MISS SPARKE, I will remind you, you are not my manger, Gabriel is, so if you have a problem speak to him or Mr carter, right now your disturbing not only me and my partner from working but he whole of this floor every time you pass through, she stands stunned for a moment about to comment again.

I should....

No, this is not your office floor ms sparke, and also is that really appropriate office attire? (I signal yo her current appearance using my hand) She storms off, and the entire floor claps, matt laughs and I grin, as I see Mr carter clapping walking towards us.

Wow, to say your not good at public speaking, he says grinning, you sure you don't want to be my personal assistant?

No thank you, but I would like her to stay off this floor and far from me, I say smiling. 

I was wondering, Friday I need your help all day for a conference and after that award winning performance, and dropping my name you can't say no.

Fine, but if I keep dealing with the likes of her, I get to drop your name as I like no questions asked, I say holding out my hand.

He quickly grabs and shakes it, it's a deal Grace. He winks and leaves as quick as he appear as I slump back into my seat smirking.

Well, well grace seems the big boss let's you get away with anything. Matt says smirking, turning back to work.

2 days later and matt is still on my case, so have you messaged Adam yet?

No, I just answer him with one word, I'm beginning to get irritated with this line of questioning, and it appears, Colin has decided joined in, as he comes to join matt to go to Bob's for lunch.

You coming princess matt says, trying to be charming, I'm buying.

No I can't, I need to go to the gym, your all making me fat with these greasy foods.

Princess you not fat. He says stood next to me hovering like a little puppy, with those sad looking eyes.

Don't look at me like that, I need salads, vegetables, good wholesome sustainable foods.

Oh god, you sound like Adam now, we know who you really have been spending too much time with. Colin says laughing.

What are you talking about? I've never spoke to Adam about it. I say.

Well you should princess, matt says raising his eyebrow smiling.

Yep, you two are two peas in a pod. Colin says smirking.

You don't know what your talking about, I say grabbing my handbag going towards the lift followed quickly by Colin and matt.

Just agree to the date already princess. Matt says, as the elevator opens, I step in looking down, trying to find a way out of this conversation 

Oh my god, fine. if it will finally shut you two up for more than two minutes. I say.

Text him now then, Colin says smirking, as I grab my phone.

I hear a familiar laugh behind me, as I turn I see Mr carter, I raise an eyebrow.

Honestly, I say. Anyone else want an input? You wanna type the the extra for me to make sure it's typed just right and i pressed send.

Come on princess, don't be like that, we only want the best for you. He widens his smile I grunt. Colin laughs making carter laugh too.

As we exit the lift I turn to matt, grabing his arm i whisper, what if I don't know what to text him? I feel my nerves getting the better of me not suprising after everything I been through, though I don't tell him that.
