Grandmia's Perfect Russian Princess

Chapter 14: Cupid's arrow

Grandmia

I know I'm harsh on Annae, but I don't want her making the same mistakes as Andrean did. She had always been a violent child, but I would never have guessed that one day she would grow up to hit her own child. I do feel betrayed that no one told me that Annae was being beaten by Andrean, I would have done something. But nobody told me and that is what hurt the most.

Annae was the baby of the family, ever since Sam was taken away that is. Yes I know about Sam, how Andrean wasn't a good mother to him. But I didn't think she hit her children.

I look up at Pam-Jack's mother-and smile, before glancing back down at the colour schemes in front of me. I only had 2 months to get the dress, flowers and rings. Everything else was done, except for bridesmaid dresses and suits for the groom and the best men.

I still need to find out who Annae's bridesmaids are going to be, hopefully not too many, only about 7 will do and no more. And of course a little flower girl and little ring bearer, but they were going to be Holly for my side of the family-only 5 years old-and George from Jack's side of the family-6 years of age-the day was going to be perfect for Annae.

"I think pink and red," Pam said jolting me from my daydreams.

"Hmmmmmmmmmm, Annae hates pink and thinks reds the colour of the devil." I replied knowing what my granddaughter would say.

"Your right, Jack hates pink and red. Black and white?" Pam looks at me hopefully.

"Cliché."

"Black and Blue?"

"What is this a funeral?"

"Peach and violet?"

"It would clash." Pam slumps in her chair and glares at the ceiling, I look down at the colour schemes and see one I knew both Annae and Jack would love. "Teal and sea green, their favourite colours and they are similar so it wouldn't clash at all. The ribbon on her dress could be teal and his tie sea green."

"It could work."

Excellent, I rub my hands together and grab my cane, pushing myself up and walking out the room to find Jeremy.

Annae/Hannah

It's like dad has forgotten me, first he was here and now he's back in Germany. Just when I started to trust him again he walks out my life. URGH men!

"No." Charley shouts, I look up and see her eyes flash with anger, which was directed at Niall and Harry. Well at least someone was having more trouble than me, she slams the door in their faces and turns around to face me and Kelsey. "If he calls, don't answer it." Then she storms off to her room and slams the door.

Did I forget to mention, Charley and Kelsey moved in with me. I had an empty house, they were getting bored of being on their own. So they came and moved in with me, they got permission of course. The best part? I now get to start my plan of 'Operation Karry' get Kelsey to date Harry.

Eva was out on another date with Cameron, it was their 3rd date and she still refused to kiss him, maybe she was a little worried or maybe she was a little shy. *shrug* who knows?

I turn to Kelsey and roll my eyes. "That's why I never date."

She smirks and glances at the stairs. "I hope she's okay."

"I wonder what happened." I say.

She looks back at me and frowns. "You go talk to her, I'll go see Ha...I mean Niall>"

*Cue evil laugh here (in my head of course)* She was falling straight into my trap. "Good idea."

Kelsey

I knock on the door of Harry's apartment and wait for him to answer the door, like he normally does. But this time he has a shirt on, I frown and point to his chest. "At least you covered up."

"Hmmmm, just for you." He smirks down at me and I roll my eyes, what a complete idiot.

"Whatever, is Niall here?" I snap at him, he looks surprised and then his expression turns neutral again.

"No, but I'm here."

I push past him into the room and stretch across his sofa, he sits on the chair in front of me and tilts his head slightly, his hair falls in front of his eyes. I just wanted to push it back, feel his hair. Urgh never think of the jerk like that, it will only bring you heartbreak. So instead I look at the wall behind him. "What happened to Charley and Niall?"

His head snaps up and he looks me in the eye, his words coming out of clenched teeth. "Nothing."

"Get a grip, it isn't nothing."

"Fine, Charley wouldn't leave him alone, she kept texting him and asking him where he is. She wouldn't just trust him, she was getting clingy and needy." He glances away and continues, with each word he says making me angrier. "She wouldn't shut up, she was becoming a freak."

Then I snap and punch him across the jaw, his head jerks to the side and a loud crack fills the air. I think I broke his jaw, but it felt real good to hit him. "Don't. You. Ever. Talk. About. Charley. Like. That. You have no right." I yell at him, he stares up at me and holds his jaw.

I feel tears at the back of my eyes and run out of the apartment, why did he have to be such a jerk? Charley was needy or clingy, she couldn't even text Niall her phone had broken weeks ago and she couldn't be bothered to get it fixed. What was he talking about?

Eva

Cameron parks outside Annae's house and turns off the engine, then turns in his seat so hes facing me. I wanted to kiss him, but I was just worried he would leave after that and I wouldn't hear from him again.

"I won't rush you," he whispers and smiles at me. I nod and start to get out the car, he quickly jumps out and opens my door for me. Ever the gentleman. I look up at him and grin, he was so cute when he was embarrassed.

"Thank you," I say to him, he looks down at me and touches my cheek.

"You're welcome." He turns back towards his side of the car and goes to open the door, I grab his arm and pull him back.

He looks down at me again and I grin up at him, I carefully pull his head towards mine and kiss him softly on the mouth. His eyes widen before they close and I put my arms around his neck, after a few seconds I release him and jog towards Annae's front door, turning back halfway and waving, watching his car disappear into the mist.

Annae opens the door and lets me in, I float into the living room and side down on the sofa. She turns to me and puts her finger in her mouth, pretending to gag. "Saw you at the window, if was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen."

I stick my tongue out at her and flip my hair over my shoulder. "Don't look then." I cross my legs and look at the TV, CSI? Oh lord. "Oh and you'll be doing more than that once your married, way more than that. If you catch my drift?" She gives me a confused look and I smirk. "S...E..."

"Do not finish that sentence."

Charley

I wasn't crying for Niall and I wasn't crying for our messed up relationship, I was crying because he thought I was pathetic. He told Harry that I wouldn't leave him alone, truth was I told him to say that. I was falling in love with Niall and deep down I knew he didn't feel the same way, so I needed to end it. I wouldn't be with someone who wouldn't love me and it was nothing to do with the age difference. I would be sixteen in a few months anyways.

I made the stupid mistake of telling him I love him, he just stared at me-more like through me- as if I wasn't even there. So I broke it off with him, I told him to say I was getting clingy, it made me sound pathetic and needy. But at least it was less embarrassing than they real story.

Annae came upstairs and sat with me, I told her the truth. She told me it was going to be alright and if fate wanted up together then he would come after me.

I highly doubt he will.
