Lover's passage

Chapter 23

Grayson and I had finally moved to the bed and once we finished some rounds we just flopped on our backs and started chatting while staring at the ceiling. We fell into a comfortable silence but Grayson soon breaks it.

"Come on get up." Grayson nudges me.

"Ugh I don't think I can." I grumble out and I could already imagine the smirk etched on his arrogant face.

"Why are you wanting me to get up?" I groan at him poking my sides.

"Because I have somewhere I want to take you." 

"Fine, I slowly stand up and leave him alone in the room while I go into my closet to find some clothes to put on."

I slip on a pair of my skinny black jeans then throw on a loose white top with an outline of boobs on them. Walking out of the closet I see Graysons already dressed and he's eyeing what I'm wearing "How fitting" He mumbles before motioning for us to leave. I quickly slip on socks and converse before walking out the door with him.

It's gotten dark by now and Grayson is still cruising his jeep down the endless road. I've reached an unbearable point of boredom were I do stupid things. So without further sane consideration I pump up the music just as perm by Bruno Mars starts to play I swing out the already rolled down window so that my hands are on the roof of the car and I'm sitting on the window. The car swerves and Grayson mutters out a string of cuss words

"What the hell are you doing?!" I hear him scream from the car. I'm to entranced by the wind in my face blowing my hair behind me and making me feel like I'm free.

"Just keep driving!" I yell back so he could hear. Putting one of my hands in the air I sink in the feeling of being so carefree for the first time in a long time.

I hang onto the feeling for a few more minutes before pulling myself back into the car.

I look at Grayson who is sneaking worried glances at me.

"What?! I'm just having some fun with my" I nudge his arm "Husband." I say the last word with a grin and he just rolls his eyes at my childish behavior.

"We are almost there so please don't try to kill yourself before we arrive."

"Oh please you really think I would die right before the surprise?"

Grayson parked awhile ago and now we are walking up through a lighted pathway up a mountain. "Are you taking me somewhere to be sacrificed?" I look at him but he stares at me coldly "Oh gosh I knew it, your families involved in a cult and they just wanted me to marry you so there would be a-"

I get cut off by a Graysons chilled tone "Yes I'm happy you finally figured things out."

I was only halfway joking but I'm officially preparing myself to kick Grayson in the balls and run off. I watch has his head slowly turns back to me and he frowns at my worried face.

"I'm kidding Quin, but my family is waiting for us so you better hurry." He picks up his pace leaving me in the dust. 

After ten minutes I could finally see a clearing up ahead. We reach the end of the walkway and I now realize how high we actually are. You could see the city lights far off in the distance and mountains further. We where in a clearing up high with dirt roads surrounding us. We walk onto the plat form of the hill and I notice that its like a cement dance floor with the outline of fairy lights. People are walking around and laughing among each other. I notice a table of refreshments and am about to head over but I feel a hand grasp around my arm. Turning I notice it's Lana's sister who I've never officially met.

"Oh hi." I shyly mumble out.

"I'm stealing your wife for a few minutes." Lana tells Grayson before pulling me off somewhere.

"I'm Lana as you already know you got stuck with the ugly one over there." she nods her head towards Grayson and I try to stifle a laugh.

"Anyways my parents are coming soon and it's kind of a surprise because..." She trails off getting easily distracted. "That hot guy over there." She points at a taller gentle man who's talking with a group of friends. "asked me to marry him so we are announcing my engagement to everyone tonight."

I give her a smile "Wow congrats."

"Yeah well my bridesmaid was going to give a speech before hand and then we would announce our engagement but she had to cancel because her plastic surgeon is heading out of town and she wants him to fix up her boobs before he leaves so she had to take the last booking which was tonight."

I try not to act shocked at Lana rambling things off to me

"Anyways since you somehow magically convinced my parents that you were a good fit for Grayson then I thought you could do the speech." She looks at me "I mean no offense I mean your very hot and you have good bone structure but my parents don't just let anyone marry their son...or daughter which is why I need your help to convince them with your speech."

I shrug "Sure why not."

"Thanks Quin, your on in ten." She says before walking away.

I turn away from the crowd and take in a big gulp of air.

Sweet jesus the last time I did a speech was for Colon at his graduation and I ended up throwing up then on my way down from the stage I tripped over the bouquet of flowers  on the stairs in front of everyone. What the hell was I going to say about Lana anyways, Hi I'm Quin and Lana is super cute and talks way to much, her friend also ditched her to get a boob job but anyways she's going to have a happy marriage with this guy over there who I don't even know.

Yep sounds fantastic, amazing speech 

definitely can't wait
