Gray doesn't know much about where to take ladies out on the date so they let them choose. But Eris was different, she's okay with everything that's why it's hard for him to think. Since she's blind, there are a lot of things that she won't be able to see and admire. However, he's ready to describe everything to her.
"Let's go see a movie. Something fun to hear."
"Cartoons?" She asked with a big smile.
"Yes, this new cartoon that came up. Rise of Gru Minions. The kids love it. It's showing today and I sealed tickets for it."
"Great." She smiled as she faced forward.
He kept glancing at her, and couldn't get enough of her beauty. From every angle, she's beautiful, angelic and something that you will keep looking at.
"Something in the face?" She asked as she felt his stare.
"No. You are just~~so beautiful."
She flushed and she pressed her lips together.
"I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."
"No~~it's just. I am not used to compliments."
"You should get used to it. You will get more of it." He grinned.
They went to the cinema in the biggest mall and they lined up. He kept his hand at her back protectively as they went in. The seats were taken and as soon as they sat down, there were loud people and kids. Not to mention that someone was kicking her seat from the back. Gray turned to see the kid. He smiled at the mother.
"Can you please tell your kid not to kick the chairs?"
The woman looked already annoyed, probably because of the kid. She tapped the boy's foot and spoke to him not to do it. But after a while, the movie started as the kid did it again and was throwing away the popcorn to Eris. Eris already looked uncomfortable as Gray stood and stared at the kid.
"Hey, sorry darling." He looked down at Eris as the people were telling him to sit down. He took her hands. "Let's go somewhere else."
"What?"
He took her purse and carefully led her to the aisle. The security approached the woman and carefully spoke to him to make the child stop or they will have to leave the cinema.
"Where are we going?"
"I will just set it up in a private theater. Where no kids would kick our seats or throw us popcorn." He said as she let him take her wherever he wanted.
It was a long drive and a low sound of music. She doesn't know where they are going but she just gets along with it. Gray talks to her casually as they exchange their likes and dislikes.
"Can I ask you something else?" He asked.
"Sure."
"Why are you in a hotel instead of a house? Is someone with you?"
"No. I just recently moved in and the condominium unit was being renovated."
"Oh, okay. And who is with you?"
She was silent for a few seconds.
"My friend."
"How about your mom? Your dad?"
She shook her head.
"I'm sorry if I asked."
"I am alone now." She said, "My parents have already set up funds for me. Technically, I am unemployed."
"Hmm, okay. Do you want to marry me?" He grinned. "I don't mind if you are unemployed. I have a business on my own and my family~~well they are quite rich. Mostly my nieces and nephews."
"I don't want to be a burden. But although I am unemployed, I have hobbies. I sell books. I write." She smiled proudly. She must invest a lot in equipment for her to be able to write.
"That's amazing."
He turned the steering wheel and waited for the gate to open as the guard outside saluted at him.
"You are with whom, Lord Gray?"
"Eris Leandro." He said. "She's my date. I hope that Hannah is not there, nor Connor."
"They left a while ago." The man waved. "Good day, Miss Eris."
She smiled and nodded her head. He honked his car as he went into the driveway. There was a lot of access control and the guards mentioned his arrival. He stopped at the entrance of the main house. The kids are probably in the playroom.
"Lord Gray," The Butler bowed at them as he hushed him.
"The kids can't see me. But is the theater room ready? With the movie that I asked for?"
"Yes, we already spoke to the producer of the movie."
"Great, great." He put his hand on Eris' back as he led her to the elevator. He peeked at the playroom with the door half open as Kal was driving his motorbike, wearing a helmet, and had his baby sister riding with him at the back. The nanny was following them around. Quinn was driving her car with Benny with him and a small dog that they recently adopted.
They went in the elevator to the third floor. Then, they went to the theater room where they have privacy.
"Kids?" She asked.
"Yeah, they aren't like the kids in the cinema. They are well-behaved. You will meet them soon, but let's not let them spoil this date." He made her seat on the most comfortable reclining seat. He removes her shoes to make her comfortable and prepares a blanket. He unbuttoned his shirt as he relaxed on the seat beside her. He set up the movie in two audios. One has a descriptive and the conversation.
She gaped and used her hand to reach his.
"I can hear their actions." She said,
"Yes, good. Right?" He grinned.
"Uhuh."
Shortly, their food came up and it was a fancy date. The Butlers and Maid set it up romantically for them and they are now aware that Eris can't see but they treat her the way they treat their guests so Eris won't feel uncomfortable. She giggled upon hearing the minions having a conversation with the kidnappers. They were having fun with the sound of a toy car.
"Oh, come on," Gray mumbled. He lowered his head.
"Minions!" Benny exclaimed as he waited for Quinn to come down from the motorbike. Then, she helped her little brother as the two ran inside. "Minions." Gray hushed them but Eris smiled as she listened to the adorable kids.
Quinn gasped as Benny made an adorable surprised expression.
"Pretty!" Quinn climbed up to the sofa beside Eris and reached her arm. "You pretty!"
"Quinn behaved."
"It's alright." Eris put to use her hand to hold Quinn's arm as the little girl kissed her cheeks.
"Pretty! Pretty!" Benny raised his arms and wanted to be carried. "Grandpapa, carry peassee."
Gray adjusted himself to pull Benny as Benny also kissed Eris's cheeks and admired her. Then, Kal and Kenny came too. Kenny squealed and quickly crawled to Gray's lap.
"Kids, do not overcrowd, Eris."
"Eris. Your name is Eris?" Quinn asked.
"Yes, and how about you?" She makes sure that she's holding the kids so they won't fall.
"I'm Quinn, that's Benny."
"I'm Benny." Benny smiled and snuggled to Eris. "Pretty, pretty."
Kal laughed and sat just beside Quinn.
"I'm Kal, then, this is Kendal, my baby sis."
"Hi, Kendal,"
Kal titled his head and waved his hand in front of her face.
"I can't see, Kal," Eris told him.
"Oh, but you have beautiful eyes."
"Thank you."
Gray was surprised at how clingy they get. Eris seemed to be having fun and she wasn't offended by her disability. She touched their faces and the kids kept on kissing her and hugging her like a teddy bear. He will surely marry her. He doesn't care about her disability.
"Alright, you four already kissed her enough. Now, behave. Let's continue the movie." He played it again as Kendall was currently snuggled to him while sucking her thumb.
The kids giggled while they were watching the minions. Kal mimicked it as Kendal laughed at her brother. This is what he loves about these siblings. They just loved each other and the firstborn always took care of their baby siblings. It was the same with Calli to her baby brother Henry.
"I'm sorry about this. This date should be just the two of us." He mumbled and reached for her hand.
"I'm fine with it. The kids are adorable." She mumbled. "But why did they call you grandpapa? How old are you?" She teased.
"Hey, I'm thirty-seven… still handsome and looking young."
She giggled. The movie ended and the kids were asleep before the movie even ended.
"Do you want to nap?" He asked. "We will have a more magical date in a few hours."
She yawned and closed her eyes.
"Yes, I need this nap." She hugged Benedict and pulled the blanket to her chest.
Gray watched her for a long time, checking every perfection and imperfection. In his eyes, he saw no imperfection. She's naturally beautiful. She has long eyelashes and crossbow lips. He wanted to kiss it badly.
"Mik~Mik," Kendal whispered.
"Okay, I got you." He took Kendal to her room and prepared her milk. Then, he takes her back to the cinema room and feeds her. He gently kissed her forehead as he coaxed her to sleep. He's an expert with everything about babies now and he's ready to have one. He now decided to pursue this woman and marry her.
