[CHAPTER THREE]
"Hello, are you here to visit someone?" Diane spoke as she typed away on the computer. Ethan was a nervous wreck and he hoped he had the right place, if he didn't he would be lost and utterly embarrassed.
"Yes, is John Dolan located here?" Diane's face immediately looked up in shock at the boy, she couldn't believe that he had actually come.
"Yes! Yes-he is. Oh dear lord, she'll be so excited!" She exclaimed making the boy curious. "Who will be excited?" he asked alarmed how thrilled Diane was to see him.
"You'll see. Follow me please." Diane said after giving him a visitor sticker to place on his shirt. The two calmly walked beside each other before she grabbed a hold of doorknob twisting it open.
"Mr. Dolan, that's not how you play!" She laughed. Y/N and John had been playing checkers and he insisted that once you have a king, the game ends. "That's how we played it back in my day." He confessed.
When John had looked up his eyes became watery and his throat dry. He instantly recognized his grandson, sad that he wasn't able to see him grow up like he wished. When John's laughter had died down Y/N turned to see what made him turn silent and when she did, she was met with the most beautiful being on the planet. At least to her he was.
Ethan was in shock that after seven years he'd finally see his pops again, but he was even more surprised to see a gorgeous girl sitting beside him. "Ethan?" He cried out as Ethan ran towards him in tears. By now Y/N had already stood up and started cleaning up the game of checkers they had previously been playing.
"I'm sorry gramps, I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner." John was never mad at any of his family, just disappointed that he hurt them. He'd never forgive himself for how he hurt his sons, and wife, and he never expected to see his grandson all grown up.
"It's okay E...I should be the one apologizing." Right as Y/N was about to flee the room, John called out for her to stay. "Y/N! This is Ethan, my grandson." He announced happily.
Y/N nodded remembering their altercation on the phone. "It's nice to meet you Ethan, I'll see you tomorrow John, gotta catch up on classes." The two said their goodbyes as Ethan watched in admiration. He'd never seen such a beautiful person, and not just based on their looks, but her soul. He could tell it was pure. The way she talked to his grandfather was so kind and welcoming.
"Hold on pops, I'll be right back." John nodded as Ethan made his way out of the room looking for Y/N.
"Oh my gosh- Diane he's so handsome!" Ethan smirked at this happy at the fact that she thinks he's attractive. "I was really scared he wouldn't show, but I'm happy Mr. Dolan finally got a visitor. I can tell it made him really happy."
Ethan didn't know he had never had a vistor before, and his heart swelled in his chest with sadness. He had to call Grayson after tonight. "But Diane that boy has incredible genes, I'd love to thank his parents for blessing my eyes."
After Diane had been making weird movements with her hands, Y/N slowly turned around to see a grinning Ethan standing before her. "I'll give you two some privacy."
"Thanks, I'll be sure to let them know your gratitude." He teased, making her cheeks flush before his eyes. "I'm really sorry, you weren't supposed to hear all that." Y/N was extremely embarrsessd at the fact that he had heard everything she said.
"Don't worry about it. If it helps..I think your really pretty to." Again, a blush came across her cheeks as she slightly smiled. "So, did you need something?" She asked making Ethan fall out of his daydream.
"I just wanted to say thank you, for calling. And looking after my grandfather all this time." He smiled still admiring the girl before him. "It's been a pleasure...I love Mr. Dolan! He's my best friend."
Ethan smiled as he turned to look at his grandpa through the open door.
"I just have one question..." he said, "how'd you know the number to my house?"
"I didn't know it led to your house. We found it underneath his pillow written on a piece of paper. My guess is that he's just always kept it." She said.
"This may sound weird, but it means a lot that you came. I've known him since I was 17 and it just makes me really happy that someone is finally visiting." She felt a relief after saying that. Y/N really did love John as a grandfather.
"Yeah, I'm really glad you called. I was actually thinking about him at that exact moment." She smiled wide making Ethans cheeks glow a tint of red also.
"Guess it was a sign from God that you were meant to come here." She laughed.
"Guess so..."
