Chapter 14 - Peonies, Italian Food & Abundant Apologies

_____________

Being the girl that I was I didn't accept simple apologies. I believed that if the person was truly sorry for what they had done to the victim they would do anything to earn the forgiveness and trust of the person they hurt once more.

Brandon Hawthorne had ignored me for two weeks after the Gala we had both attended. He'd then walked into my office drunk out of his mind and fell unconscious. I then rushed with him to the hospital where I happily found out he was okay. He'd apologized but as I explained earlier I believed people should work for forgiveness which is what exactly Brandon had been doing for the past few weeks and surprisingly he had been a good sport about it.

This had been going on for a week or so give or take. Today, I would tell him that I have forgiven him. Tonight we were going out to Bellas an Italian restaurant where the elite people normally dined. According to Brandon, it was a restaurant that I would absolutely love and then proceeded to give me today off, hence why I was staring at my closet in wonder.

"Just pick something Ash!" I hissed to myself.

"Are you seriously talking to yourself?" A voice from the corridor asked causing me to jump with fright.

"Grandma!" I whined, "You scared the hell out of me."

"Well that's good," She winked, "No granddaughter of mine should have hell in her anyways,"

"Grandma you're here!" I yelled and flung myself at her, "I didn't know you were coming!"

"Oh, Ash! You're going to break my frail bones!" She laughed as she patted my back gently, "I am here for a short while. I decided to surprise you. I planned all of this with Sam and your friend."

"I'm sorry. Did you drive here by yourself?" I asked her, "I am so excited to have you here!"

"Oh definitely not! Sam drove me here. These eyes are useless these days, especially on the roads." She announced.

"Is he here?" I asked.

"No. He dropped me and my bags off because he had to rush to an important meeting that was a long drive from here and the friend of yours - Marnie - let me in the house and helped with my luggage," She responded gesturing to the two duffel bags she has placed in my room.

"Her name is Melanie granny!" I laughed.

"Would you like to take a selfie with your lovely grandma?" She asked holding out her phone.

"I look horrible!" I laughed.

She shook her head, "No one is going to see them beside me!"

"Sure!"

My grandmother then proceeded to help me get dressed and ready for my date.

"You look amazing!" She grinned as she studied me.

I blushed, "Thank you!"

"Now go have fun!" She winked as she ushered me out of the house and I saw Brandon waiting outside by the door. When he saw me, his jaw dropped and he walked over to me.

I heard my gran giggle and then shut the door behind me.

"You look absolutely amazing!" He whispered and placed a gentle kiss on my cheek.

"So do you." I grinned.

"I parked down near the entrance," Brandon informed me pressing the down button in the elevator.
