Greyson (Lightening Series Book One)

Chapter Thirty One

It had been a few hours since our spat in the kitchen and there was still no sigh of Grey. I could say I wasn't bothered but I was entirely. I feel like I over reacted but I would never want Grey to feel forced into being my boyfriend.

I wanted that only if he wanted that, I never want it to be one sided. I feel like I maybe pressured him, he told me he doesn't do relationships and maybe that's what I have to accept. I would prefer to have him as a friend than he miserable because of me. Maybe that's why he's been so different these past weeks, it's not the Grey that I know and I feel guilty for putting him in that situation.

We agreed to take it slow but maybe he felt pressured because of what happened with Charlie, I mean I basically through myself at him like a damsel in distress. Maybe he took the hit as a friend.

I needed to speak with him and express my thoughts so I got showered, dried and added some curls to my hair before getting dressed.

I put on some light make up and quickly got dressed into black skinny jeans, a white off the shoulder fluffy jumper, black heeled ankle boots, my cream scarf and my knee length black winter coat.

It was freezing outside with it being the start or December and the snow was as surely on its way, so it was best to wrap up cosy.

I knew where I could find Grey, my sidekick Benny informed me of where he was and apparently he was in a shitty mood. However, Benny did tell me that they were just along at the park that was nearby and that's where I was heading.

I needed to speak to Grey and clear the air, whatever this was meant to be had to be figured out. I need him to know that if he wants to be friends then I will learn to accept that, I don't want him to feel pressured into anything that he didn't want to. I didn't want to be like the rest of them.

It was getting slightly dark out but thankfully the area was well lit so I was fine. When I reached the park gate, I saw three figures over by the swings all with cigarettes in hand lighting up like a torch in the darkness.

Definitely not kids, well maybe not sometimes.

"You look gorgeous Princess." My head snapped upto the first voice, Maddox and his ever teasing ways.

"I second that, come here I've missed you!" Benny squealed running over to me with wide arms.

I smiled and embraced his warmth, it's the first time I've seen him in a few weeks. I was recovering and he was touring, he didn't fly back like Grey did each night and that would never be expected of him. I don't expect it from Grey either.

"You walked here alone? In the dark?" Grey's sharp voice cut in as he swayed gently back and forth on the swing set.

I wanted to laugh, a beautifully dangerous man playing on a child's swing set. It didn't suit his persona in the slightest but it was still a memory for the bank.

"Will you stop being moody and be nice?" Benny sighed, "She's walked all the way here for a reason, haven't you Princess?" Benny encouraged with a smile pulling me in for a sidewards hug.

"Benny." I scolded playfully with a laugh, "Hi Maddy." I smiled sweetly with a wave causing him to smirk. Grey took the loudest puff of his cigarette before throwing it to the side, I gasped.

"Grey there's a trash can right there, children play here and the last thing parents want to see is their kids picking up a dirty cigarette!" I scolded walking straight over to the disposes goods, grimacing as I picked it up and threw it quickly into the trash.

"My bad." He mocked tensing his jaw.

"Woah someone is cranky, not getting enough beauty sleep Princess?" He asked playfully as I turned to him, he was smiling but I wasn't.
