Her big blue eyes were strained on me and when she saw I wasn't moving an inch from where I stood, she moved from the bed and came to me. Her soft hands held mine and she pulled me into her room."Good evening Mrs Grayson" She said in a very timid voice.Delaney huffed from behind us and I stroked the little girls hand. "I'll leave you two then. I'm off for the night. I left some milk on the counter" Delaney said and then her feet were heard walking inside the room.She pulled out a pink pyjamas with cute white buttons all over it and dropped it by the bed side."Her bedtime is by eight but Mrs Forrest lifted the curfew a bit. So she may go to bed by Eight thirty or nine" Delaney said."Thank you Delaney"She smiled hugely. "I'm at your service Mrs Grayson. "She said. "Do have a nice time" She said to me and then turned to the little girl. "You too Autumn" She brushed her

A red Dodge was parked outside the house and I couldn't help but feel, I've seen the car somewhere. Lucas opened my door for me before taking my hand in his and helping me out."Who's got the red Dodge?" I asked Lucas and he was frowning, obviously clueless  as to who owns the mysterious car too.It suddenly felt like home immediately we stepped into the warmth of the house. I could also smell dinner on the making. My stomach did a crazy flip."I'll be upstairs" Lucas said letting go of my hand. I watched him slip his feet into a warm slipper before walking up the stairs. He's probably going to talk to security about the Dodge.Footsteps from behind me,  made me turn and I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Jacq staring at me with a side grin. I sighed out."You frightened me""I know girl." She flung her arms opened and embraced me. It didn't feel awkward h

Ellie skipped ahead of us, trying to catch some fireflies and inhaling daisies. Lucas held my hand tight. After I agreed for him to take me to Ethans graveside, we decided to take Ellie with us. She was better now and was in need for a stroll and a wide opened space."Did you attend his burial?" I asked Lucas. We were walking pass some headstones and I began to wonder how life can be so short. Take Ethans for example. He didn't know his life was going to be taken away from him that night."Yeah. A lot of people attended his burial" Lucas said. We watched Ellie lay on the grass, rolling from side to side. "A lot of dignitaries were there""His family was worth their appearance" I mumbled."No, Tiff. He was worth it" Lucas chimed. "Ethan was a cool guy. And a hard working business man""You speak as if you knew him so well""I guess I did" He said staring at me. I noticed we

Diana paced around the living room trying to draw up her cigar. The only thing that made me seat quiet and not tell her to stop freaking the hell out of me, was the fact that I was holding a glass of margarita in my hand. The one I made, and had Diana wandering if I once owned a bar before marrying Lucas."I told Nicole to stop dropping wet rags in the board cause they dampen up my cigars, but she just won't listen" She finally huffed, after a long while."Or you could just skip smoking for tonight" I tell her, expecting her next reaction. I don't even want Autumn to mistakenly walk in on her aunt, smoking. Such atmosphere is not good for her."True darling but I really hate it when Nicole does that" Diana sat down, grabbed a glass of margarita and then motioned for me to pass her the lime, and so I did.With each moment that passed by, I was getting anxious to know what Lucas was doing right this very min

"The Gardener did it" Lucas said the second he entered into the kitchen. All heads swerve to him. Mine, Lara and Ellie's.He had on a black casual jean, black shirt and he was barefoot. Thank God he wasn't shirtless or I would've lost track of what he was saying. He had his eyes glued to his phone for some seconds before lifting his head up to stare at me."Not the butler did it?" I joke with a smile on my face."It's not funny. This is no book, but reality" I'm surprised when he kisses my forehead. Surprised but happy. I thought after our kissing fiest yester-night, he was going to act weird this morning. But he, more than anything, wants this for us. I think. "I was just trying to say good morning"He chuckled. "well good morning to you too"This is the part where I wrap my arms round his shoulder and kiss him, but Lara is staring at us like...what
