Grayham’s POV

When I walked into the living room, I didn’t waste a moment there. I just aimed for the staircase and marched straight to my chamber. I heard Mile’s feet clicking right after me.

I got to my door, gave it a slight push, and then walked in.

My eyes lit up and my heart leaped for joy. For some reason, I had a feeling that Miles was going to tamper with my room but nothing changed.

I moved to the window, parted the curtains, and looked down at the lit city. I love standing here with a cup of coffee in my hand and just staring down at the city.

My PS5 station was intact and my closet seemed well arranged. Normally, I’d ruffle the closet when picking an outfit and when the cleaners come to take care of my room, they’ll fix it. I’m sure Miles wasn’t giving them much trouble. He seems like a proper guy.

I turned around and saw him standing by the door, his arms folded across his chest. He immediately looked away, preventing our eyes from meeting.

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    NAVIGATING GRIEF

    Mile’s POVI walked into the café and met Grayham seated at the first booth by the right. It was past 8 pm. I waited for everyone to leave before I walked in. “I asked everyone to leave. I hope you don’t mind that I kind of chased them.” Grayham said when I entered. “I told them that I needed some privacy.”I went to his table and sat on the chair facing him. “It’s fine.”I know how this community works. I’m sure Grayham was bombarded with a lot of visits from the day it was announced that my father died. He must be overwhelmed. On the other hand, I could use some silence too. Earlier, I had watched Grayham give a speech and then throw a handful of sand on my father’s coffin. Then his body was lowered into the ground and amidst the wailings and prayers, I just had to retreat. I had gone back to the cab and sat.At one point, the driver left me in the car to take a walk. I had booked the cab for the whole day.Grayham stood up and while I remained there, lost in thoughts, he return

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    WHAT POWER CANT BUY

    Mile’s POVWith my knees glued to the floor, I turned around and saw Grayham looking at me with the tail of his left eye.I turned away from him. Right now, I just wanted to tear off my clothes and yell.When people talk about carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, I used to think they were exaggerating misery or responsibility but right now, I was already having a glimpse of what it takes to carry the kind of weight that no one would understand or extend a helping hand to.My dad was gone!Nobody is coming to save me. I lifted my head and caught Grayham towering above me. At this point, I don’t mind if he thought I was a weakling for crying this much.I had just lost the person that mattered to me the most. I was alone now.I proceeded to wipe my tears with the edge of my palm while avoiding Grayham’s gaze.“I’m sorry.” He said after breathing a heavy sigh.I turned to him and I could bet that he had shed a tear because his eyes said so.Was he acting up? I can’t trust

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    HE IS GONE

    Mile’s POVI stormed out of the café in a fit of rage. If I thought Grayham was selfish and mean, then he had just proven to me that he was worse.Didn’t he learn anything from this? Are we not in this situation because he wanted to demolish the house? Does this mean that he doesn’t believe all those articles we read about the curse?I sighed and continued walking toward the street with my jaws clenched in annoyance.I can’t believe he just asked me to sell the house. As much as I know my dad, he’d rather die than allow me to sell the house.But he’s not going to die.I’m going to make sure that I save him even if I have to do the unimaginable. After all, he was my dad, not Grayham’s.I made it to the street and was able to get a cab. Right now, there’s nothing that will put me at ease than seeing my dad but then, I can’t just show up like that in the hospital in this body.Or maybe I could.I got into the cab and told the driver to drop me at St. Francis Hospital. It was a short ride

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    I HATE YOU

    Grayham’s POVImmediately after I dashed out of the mansion, I boarded a cab to the hospital. The driver sped all through and in a few minutes, I was running toward the entrance.Weeks ago, if I was told that I’d be running helter-skelter for a stranger, I wouldn’t agree but now, I can’t believe I’m going crazy because of Alex.I hurried past the reception and then got to his private room. I opened the door but Alex was not there. The room was empty.I stepped out in confusion and was about to charge toward the doctor’s office when I saw him coming toward me. I hurried to meet him.“Where is he?” I demanded the moment I reached the doctor.He sighed and immediately turned around. “Come with me.” He said and began walking toward his office. “Your father was just transferred to the ICU.” The doctor supplied.“What?” We both stopped. “ICU?”The doctor shook his head. “I’m very sorry, Miles but right now, he’s in a critical condition. Earlier, we detected movements from his monitor and we

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    A CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL

    Mile’s POVThe alarm clock struck 6 am and the buzzer came on. I sighed and then tried to stretch. I was unable to stretch my other hand and when I looked down, I realized that it was tied up to Grayham’s arm.My jaw almost dropped to the floor when my eyes widened and I realized that we spent the night together, hurled up on the same bed.After a series of searches that ended up with a riddle, I went to bed while Grayham stayed up. I guess he got tired and finally joined me and now, his hands are legs were tangled with mine.Grayham wanders in his sleep because I’m certain he slept on the other side of the bed but now, he was on my side, his legs sprawled on my body. He was shirtless.I was about to remove my hand from the entanglement when his eyes opened. He looked up at me. His warm breath spread on my face and he abruptly sat up.“Sorry.” He said and pulled his legs from my body.I immediately got out of bed.Should I greet him or go ahead and ask him whether he found anything la
