Chapter 2.

It's about 2 o'clock in Paris when I get off the plane, as I approach the doors I notice there is a white Audi tt with someone standing with a sign that has my name on it. The man that has the sign says to me "bonjour Madame, your grandmother Madame el grey has left this for you to drive, it is yours."

I say thank you and begin to put my bags in the back. I wave my hand goodbye to the man, he smiles and I drive off.

I have been driving for at least half an hour now, as I turn the corner I can see my grandmother's house. It's massive. I can't believe she left me this beautiful car to drive around in, and now she has a mansion as a home. This has to be the right address, last time we visited my grandmother she never lived her, but the gates began to open when I reached them, as I drive into the driveway a man and my grandmother are waiting at the front door step. The man begins to approach my car with a name tag on, his name is Liam and he says to me.
Liam- "Good evening Madame, can I take your bags?"

"Of course, thank you Liam"

I look towards my grandmother and give her a massive hug and kiss to the cheek.

Grandmother- "hello my darling, it's been so long, to long even. Come in, there is tea waiting out in the garden for us I had Jane make some lunch up for us, you must be so hungry. Liam could you please take the bags to the suite please, thank you"

"Mm its smells lovely, what did Jane make for lunch gran?"

Grandmother-"I think she has made bruschetta for lunch."

As we walked through the house to the garden I thought to myself what a lovely place to live, everyone has been very kind. I look in every room and it's so beautiful, there is a chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the hall, we approach the garden and I have never seen such a beautiful garden like this before. There is a pool, I can already tell I'm going to enjoy staying here, I love it already and I have been here for nearly an hour.

Grandmother-"come on, sweetheart, lunch is ready. So I see you like my house?"

"I don't just like it, I love it, it's so big and just beautiful."

As we eat our lunch my grandmother has been requested at the door, she has hired a personal gardener for 2 months. I finish lunch and begin to have a look around as my grandmother speaks to the gardener in the hall. I walk through the kitchen and through the living room which takes me into the hall where my gran and this very young, good looking boy stands.
He has chocolate brown curly hair, he wears a white top and black skinny jeans. As I begin to walk away my grandmother must spot me and shouts my name.

"Yes gran?"

Grandmother- "come over and meet the gardener"

As I walk towards them, he has this bright beautiful smile. I put out my hand for him to shake but he takes it in his hand and kisses the back of it.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you?"

Harry- "hello, it's nice to meet you too, my name is harry and yours?"

"My name is Cali"

Gran- well why don't you show harry around sweetheart, I have some business to attend just now, dinner is at 5, harry you are welcome to join."

Harry- "thank you, I would love to"

My grandmother gives me hug goodbye and tells me to have fun. I look towards harry and he is just staring at me so I decide to ask if he would like to come to my room and we could get to know each other a bit better since I'm here for 6 months.
We begin to walk down a flight of stairs and when we arrive inside its not just a bedroom it's a whole bloody suit for me.

"So, em what you like a drink?"

Harry-"yes please, water will be fine"

I walk over to the little bar and bring out a bottle of water and pour it into 2 glasses, I turn around and look at harry and he is just sitting there looking around, I take a seat just across from him and hand him the glass of water.

"What age are you Harry, may I ask?"

Harry- "I'm 20, and you?"

As I tell him my age we begin to just ask each other questions I found out a lot about him, he is so funny and can be quite flirtatious but it's funny. I look towards the clock and it reads 4:50pm dinner is in ten minutes so I tell harry I will just be a minute I'm going to freshen up and head towards the bathroom and leave harry with the television.

Harrys point of view.

I approach the gates and someone speaks through the speaking machine and asks why I'm here so I tell them I'm the new gardener and I'm here to see Madame el grey, they open the gates and I drive up to the drive way and park my car and head towards the door, where Liam answers, Liam is one of my best friends, he is so lucky to be able to work here permanently.

Harry- Liam, how you been?"

Liam- harry, I'm not bad, what about yourself, come in ?"

Harry-"yeah I'm good, so how are you and Jane?"

Liam-"yeah we are good, so you got anybody on your arm yet?"

Harry-"nah mate, no one."

Liam- "well you should meet Madame el greys granddaughter, she is so beautiful. You never know harry with your good
looks and charm."

Harry- "well I don't know, I haven't even met the girl but here is hoping right?"

As I sit and wait for Jane to go and get Madame el grey, which by the way I can call lucie. Liam lets me know that she will be 5 minutes she is in the garden with her granddaughter, maybe I will be introduced to her later on. As I sit in the hall and wait for her to join me, I think to myself that this is a really nice house compared to my little flat, but she is the richest female in Paris. It's been about 5 minutes and I can hear lucie walk through her hall and she sees me and she has a big smile on her face.

Grandmother- "harry my boy, how have you been?"

Harry-"I have been good lucie, and you?"

Grandmother- "I'm very well, so we have some business to discuss am I right."

Harry-"yes we do, what is it you would like me to do?"

Grandmother-" well I would like you just to watch the garden you know, just clean it up a little but I actually invited you round to meet my lovely granddaughter, she is currently looking around the house, I was hoping you could show her Paris and get to know each other."

Harry-"That would be great; I would have someone to talk to. I will make sure she has a lovely time, don't you worry."

Lucie and I are still talking about random things when I look towards the living room and see this beautiful, young girl. This must be her granddaughter. She  has lovely brown hair and her little summer dress complements her perfectly. Just as I'm about to look towards lucie she is already calling her granddaughter over. She begins to walk towards us and all I can do is smile, I must looks so stupid to her, she puts out her hand and I take it, I have been asked to stay for dinner which I said yes that way I can get to know Cali a bit more. Cali goes to the bathroom to freshen up and all I can do is sit there with the television on and think about that beautiful girl who is in the bathroom getting ready for dinner, this should be good.
