Black and Grey | Book 1

I woke up that morning in Grayson's arms. I was happy that he was finally here with me and that he was finally speaking to me again. However, I didn't know what it was, but I had a nagging feeling at the back of my head. I shook it off and turned back to Grayson who was sleeping peacefully. I sighed. How can someone be so good looking?
I ran my hand through his hair and I felt his grip on me tighten, making me chuckle as I now knew he was awake.
He opened his eyes when I stopped massaging his head and pouted at me. I snuggled into his arms and he laughed quietly.
"Morning." He said, his raspy morning voice coming through, which I swooned at.
"Morning." I replied back. We laid there for another 20 minutes before he stirred. I thought he was going to get out of bed, but instead, took me by surprise and placed his lips on mine.
"Woah." I mumbled through.
"Less talking more kissing." He said and I rolled my eyes. I gave him what he wanted before I had to pull back to catch my breath.

After spending another hour in bed just laughing and kissing, me and Grayson decided to go out and spend a day out for ourselves. While we were at a restaurant eating our dinner, I received a phone call. I didn't pick it up as it was from Sebastian, thinking he was just calling me to annoy me. Shortly after, Grayson received a phone call from Marcello. He frowned as he looked down at his phone, but picked it up anyways.
He answered and was listening to what Marcello was saying before he started frowning.
"What's wrong?" Asked Grayson. They spoke on the phone for a couple more seconds before Grayson put down the phone angrily.
"We got to go, come on." He said and I followed him out of the restaurant and into the car.
"What's going on?" I asked, starting to panic as he sped up the driving limit.
"We've got to head back to America." Grayson replied back as he concentrated on the road.
"What? Why?" I asked, shocked that we had to head back to America already.
"I can't explain right now, there's no time but the others back home are in danger." Grayson said, rushed.

Pressure clamped down on my chest hard as I prayed that nothing would happen to them. I had so many questions running through my head.

What was going on?
Why is everyone back home in danger?
Who's putting a threat on us?
Is everyone safe?

Me and Grayson said nothing to each other, both consumed by our own thoughts. I prayed and prayed over and over again that Matthias and everyone else would be okay and not in any harms way.
We soon enough got to the hotel where Marcello and everyone else were waiting with packed suitcases. They were all waiting impatiently, a tense silence surrounding them all.
Although, I noticed that none of the women were there, for example; Caterina nor Eleonora weren't there either. It was just all the men.
"We've got to leave in 10 minutes Grayson. I've got all your stuff packed already. Come with me, I need to talk to you about some things." Marcello said sternly, looking at the watch on his wrist, while tapping his foot impatiently.
Grayson followed Marcello through the double doors and into a room, away from everyone else.

I needed to know what was going on, and I knew that Marcello definitely knew what was going on. I was about to follow them, when Ethan appeared in front of me.
"Hey are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded back in response.
"Yeah, I'm just going to go to the restroom." I said hurriedly and he nodded and turned away. I went back to following Grayson and Marcello, trying to remember their steps.

I was walking down a long hallway once I had passed through the double doors. I paused when I heard deep voices and I carefully stood by the doors, making sure not to make any noise.
"What's going on?" I heard Grayson ask.
"Matthias called earlier, they've came, the Bonatti clan." Marcello said and I could sense the anger from here.
"Why? What do they know?" Asked Grayson curiously.
"They've found out about Iris." Marcello said, frowning.
"What?" Grayson spat furiously.
"Someone has ratted us out, but they're onto us and they can strike any day. They won't stop until they get a hold of Iris." Marcello said, while thinking to himself.

Fear and anger constructed my heart.
They were all in danger, because of me?
