I woke up the next morning. I immediately checked on Grace and saw that she was still asleep. I then saw Tony right next to her, and I got angry again, so I walked out towards the guest bedroom. As I walked through the hallway, I noticed all of the pictures that Grace had hanging up. I saw one picture in particular that interested me. It was of who I assume to be Grace at a very young age and an older gentleman. I wonder who this person is. Why isn't he around anymore? Grace is obviously happy to be around him. What caused him to disappear? Who's choice was it that he leaves? Was Grace happy while around him, and her mom got rid of him? What was his relation with Grace? There are so many questions, but I am not sure if I should ask them. Even though Grace still has pictures of this guy, I am to believe that he still means a lot to her, and I don't want to upset her by asking.

I think Jasmine might have the answers. I take a picture of the picture and walk to the guest bedroom. I see that Kathy and Will are still asleep. That's good because I didn't want to talk to Kathy. I walked to the kitchen and made coffee, and while that was brewing, I cooked some eggs and ate them. I pull out my phone while pouring my first cup of coffee. I texted Jasmine the picture.

Myself," Hey Jasmine, I was curious. Who is this guy? And is that a younger Grace?"

Jasmine," All I can tell you is yea, that is Grace as a little kid. But if you want to know about the guy, then you will have to talk to Grace about it. What sparked this?"

Myself ," I was walking back to the guest room, and I noticed this picture. For some reason, this sparked an interest. I have so many questions, but I don't know how Grace would react to my questions."

Jasmine," Yea, I'm sorry that I can't help you, but it would be best if she tells you. But if you talk to her privately and calmly, then she won't get too upset over it."

Myself," Upset?"

Jasmine," Yea. They were close."

Myself," I figured that, judging by how happy she was in that picture. Well, I guess I will let you go since you probably have to go to work and all."

Jasmine," Okay, bye."

Myself," Bye."

I pocket my phone and walk out to the back porch. This really was a beautiful place. It was just so quiet and separated from the other houses. This would be the perfect vacation home. But Grace doesn't like me, and I don't know if Jasmine would help me make Kathy jealous enough to leave me. And I don't want to bring Kathy and Will here for vacation just to bother Grace. I finish my coffee and go to get more. Once I got back, I started to think about work and how much I loved Grace. With Grace being the dominant thought in my head. Just the way she looked at me was just so different from the others. It was as if she was interested in getting to know me. Could she be as interested in me as I was in her? But if she was, why would she date Tony? Yea, they have a lot in common, but why date him when she isn't even interested in him? 

I don't know how long I was sitting there before Grace said something. I nearly fall out of my chair. Calming down, I realize that it was only Grace. But why is she out here talking to me? Why isn't she kissing Tony and being just the cutest fucking couple? But then I see Grace smile as she tells me that I shouldn't have made the coffee and eggs. I was happy that Grace was smiling but yet I was scared because she was getting after me for making the coffee and eggs without asking her. I immediately started to apologize for doing it. Grace starts to laugh as she tells me that I was fine.

I was confused, was Grace mad at me or not? But she was laughing so I guess that it's okay, but I asked if she was mad and she told me that it was fine and that I should feel comfortable here. Wait is that supposed to mean something? I start to tell her that she shouldn't have done that to me but she tells me that she noticed that I was upset and wanted to make me happy. As soon as I heard that I wanted to kiss her and tell her what has been eating at my heart and soul for the past couple of days. But I didn't want to scare her away so instead I told her that it had worked. Which it did work, I was happy. She made me happy just by being there. She asked me why I was sad and even though I wanted to tell her that I was sad because I couldn't be with her I told her that I read some mean comments that I didn't like.
