Raymond POV.“What made you think so?” I asked with my eyes wide open and my lips parted.Gracie began to scratch her head and looked at me, “Maybe I just know, you know,” she said and smiled.“What’s so funny?” I looked into her eyes deeply and said, “Go to bed! Read my lips again, you need some sleep, and I need you to go to bed and stop being dramatic,” I stated.Gracie smiled and looked at me, still standing with the glass teacup in her hand. All my eyes went through was her curvy body shape that was able to light every dinner with sparkles, temperament, and sweet scents.Gracie waved at me as I licked my lips and looked at her from head to foot. “Hello, are you here with me at all? I am asking, talking to you, but you aren’t saying a word to me either,” she said and looked into my eyes.“Well, I am here and I can handle things myself" I stated and sat on the sofa, with my lips parted and my arms filled at each end of the chair.“You can take a seat if you want” I winked at her an
Gracie POV.“Excuse yourself, Mrs Silver said with a Loud hiss and a resounding look that almost swept my knees off the floor.I flashed my eyes at her, head down, my feet kept on taking me in the direction of the stairs. Finally, my knees fell on the stairs.“What have you done that made you lose yourself, your sense, and your stamina? Good for nothing child of a scammer” she screamed out loud.I slowly managed to kick myself up, raising my knees as I took a deep breath and held the handle of the stairs. I took another preventive step with my feet barely touching the steps before taking another. No noise, no fall.“Hey, you! Come here!” Mrs. Silver commanded.I paused my walk up the stairs, turned back with my chest beating out loud as I took a deep breath, not knowing where exactly to follow.“Come right here! You fool.” She screamed out so loud, and that got my feet jumping. I stood in front of her like a maid.“Take this to him”, Mrs. Silver said as she pointed a teacup towards m
Gracie POV“Thank you,” I said, and we both walked down from the car and legged into the living room.I managed to see how to take a foot forward. The street light of the estate welcomed us in through the journey, and it looked like a daylight event.“Why is everywhere so dark?” Held Raymond so tight by his arm as my heart was beating so fast.My heart wasn’t scared to know if Raymond was a demon, but my mind is fixed on him as my protector, because he has every chance to hurt me on our first encounter but he didn't.“You don’t need to panic,” he said and held my shoulder tight to him as well.I took a deep breath and swallowed the lumps in my throat.“I know, but I am still scared, how this place looks so dark and unusual, unlike the nights I have spent here,” I spelt out with my lips shaking and my hands running all over Raymond’s body.“Just make sure you are calm. I assure you that you are safe with me” Raymond said.With no words said, “I nodded my head with my eyes fixed in a di
Gracie POV.His chin raised from left to right, as he kept staring at his phone, and the rays of light lifted his pupils.“This is all over social media, and it’s so good. Yes! Yes!” Raymond called out while he jerked his elbow backward. “Grinning from chin to chin, his eyes elated, with his eyebrows raised.My eyes steamed at him as I smiled, “You really like this, and I can’t seem to understand why you feel so excited about what will fade in less days”, I spelt out and looked into his eyesRaymond shrugged his shoulder and looked at him, with his phone in the air, “I don’t care if it doesn’t even last for a day, all I am concerned about is that fact that it happened and here we are taking home the award” he said and touched the award shaking it rigorously and laughing so hard.“Okay, okay, you really need to calm down”, I hesitated and looked around, “people might be watching”, I said and smiled.“Ouch, that’s true. You mean they might want to capture an excited moment of the Don” he
Gracie POV.“Look into my eyes,” Raymond whispered.I raised my eyebrows and replied, “I can’t”“Just try, and that would help you know what to do,” he pestered.I slowly raised my head to him, and as I gazed at him, I gasped as his almond eyes took my breath away.My senses fell, my heart dropped and so did my body.Immediately, Raymond held me by my waist, twisted my body in the right direction, and whispered into my ears, “I know you have fallen for me, but you don’t have to show it here,” he whispered into my ears and almost bit my ears.“What do you mean?” I said in a low tone of pretense, as I bit my lips and let out a soft smileMy legs moved in directions I can’t imagine. Each time he held my right hand, he was ready to spin me around and my body knew where to turn.Suddenly, the crowd of elites began to cheer up, and all of them stood up with their partners and began to follow the lead to our dance steps.“It’s happening,” Raymond said to me.I looked at him and raised my eye
Gracie POV"We need to bring the award Medal home,” Raymond said.His voice launched through the door and hit my heart like a nail pressed by a hammer.“How? Do we have to do anything extra to make that happen? What does the medal have to do with your family?” I asked.My ears long to hear more, and my curiosity spurs me.A single word didn’t transpire through the door anymore.I took a deep breath and asked, “Are you still there?” No more response but a door wall between us and a mental absence of a being. I took a deep breath and walked my back down towards the door.My heart gripped me, even though my mind was ready for whatever was about to come.My heart got its working space when the alarm shattered by shaking and sounding at its peak. I walked slowly to it and pressed it to make a stop.I sat slowly on the sofa with my chin up and my eyes gazing at the ceiling, lost in thought, deep in the imagination of ‘how is it going to happen?’I jumped up suddenly when a vibration erupt
