                                              Simi POV
                          I didn't want to let go , I couldn't let go I stood there hugging my grandma , I wanted to go but my feet seemed to be glued to the ground , I looked through my blurry eyes at Nate who seemed to be completely unaffected by our emotional drama , but I had to do this , this was not the way I planned to leave my grandma , not this way I thought to myself as I slowly let go , she didn't have to say anything , her eyes already told me everything.
                          "I'll be fine" I said out loud , giving a faint smile 
                          She briefly nodded at me as I walked to the car
                          I kept waving at her till she was out of site , I looked down on my lap to see Graham sleeping peacefully, it's a good thing Nate was quiet , I was enjoying the silence and slowly I drifted into sleep.

                          "Aunty Simi, aunty simi" I felt a small hand tugging my dress and it didn't stop 
                          " Sweet lord , please let me sleep " I said turning 
                          Now I heard someone sobbing , I slowly opened my eyes to see Graham sobbing with his face in his . I took him in my arms and consoled him , goodness we were still in the car , why didn't that asshole wake me up 
                          " Aunty Simi" 
                          "Hmm" 
                          "What's an asshole?" 
                          Sweet lord did I say that out loud
                          " Nothing it's just a way of addressing adults ok " I lied
                          I picked him up and walked into the massive building in front of me I was so stunned , I'm definitely gonna explore this house I stopped thinking about when I saw a serious Nate pacing the sitting room on the phone , he turned around meeting my gaze.
                          "Mrs Barbara " he shouted 
                          A light skin lady showed up probably in her fifties or probably late forties appeared from the hallway.
                          " Please take Graham to his room" 
                          Graham who was hesitant , until i promise him heaven and Earth before he finally left with Mrs Barbara
                          "Simi" I heard him say in a serious manner , his face held no emotions
                          "I wanna set some ground rules "
