"No. I have to run some errands on behalf of my parents." he said.
"Business?" I asked.
" Kinda."he said.
"Wow, you're already involved in your parents business this early. I'm impressed."I said with a smile.
" Well it's nothing.. what's wrong with you? Are you ok?"he asked.
"Follow me." I said and held his hand. We both walked inside. "Grace came over early this morning and she wasn't looking good." I said.
"Did she say what was wrong?" I asked.
"No. I didn't think she was in the right state of mind at the time." I said and we walked through the stairs and got to my room. She was awake already.
"Whoa, the room is kinda hot." he said.
"Yeah, I switched off the air conditions, that's why it's hot. Grace how are you feeling?" I asked.
"Much better." she said. "You can put on the air condition, I'm feeling sweaty now." she said. That is a good sign that she was recovering. I switched on the air conditions. She sat up and fixed her gaze on Jeremy. "Hi Jeremy." she said.
"Hi, how are you doing?" he asked and sat on the couch beside the bed.
"Fine." she said and turned to me.
"Grace what happened?" I asked.
"He tried to hurt me again but I managed to escape. However, he hit his head on the wall. I don't know if he's okay." she said.
"Who cares if he's okay or not? My God, how could he be so ruthless!" I exclaimed.
"He beat me up because you confronted him. He thinks I brought you over to insult him." she said.
"You are not going back to that house, you can't." I said.
"Who is this guy?" Jeremy asked.
" He's Felix. Do you know him?" I asked.
"I don't think so." he said.
"But himself and his friends knows you." I said.
"Do they?" I asked.
"Yes." I said.
"You might not know them but they know about you. Everyone does." Grace said and he sighed.
"I think it's probably from the club.. We won't allow them go Scot free. " he said.
"Yeah." I said and fondled her hair.
GRACE'S P.O.V
I was happy that I had, at least, two people I could count on to protect me. That's why I want them to be together. Jeremy's phone rang and he answered it.
"Hey Vi."he said and I noticed Kyla's mood changed. Maybe that was the reason why she was angry the other night.
"Come on, you need a bath." she said and helped me up. I knew it was a way to avoid Jeremy. She took me to the jacuzzi. I turned to her.
"Are you mad at Jeremy because of Violet?" I asked.
"Grace this is not the right time to talk about this. Just have your bath." she said and walked out of the bathroom. I know she's feeling sad inside.
KYLA'S P.O.V
I walked out of the bathroom and saw J. He was already done with the phone call. He stared at me but I looked away and went to the closet to pick out an outfit for Grace. I don't know why I feel angry and sad whenever he talks with Violet. Am I jealous?
I came out with a pink flowery gown and placed it on the bed. I arranged the pillows and the blanket. I felt his hands around my waist. I ignored him and continued with the blanket. He gave me a peck.
"Baby what's going on? You're acting cold towards me." he whispered.
"I'm not acting cold towards you." I said. He turned me to himself but I looked away.
"Look at me." He said and I looked at him with a pout. "I know you're mad at me for something." He said.
"I'm not mad at you. I just.." I trailed off and looked away with a sigh.
"You just what?" He asked turning my face to his.
"I just.. I just miss you... I miss us a lot."I said.
"You miss me? But I've been spending time with you."he said and I scoffed.
"Really? Okay." I said and walked out of the room. I kinda miss Daisy. I dialled her number.
"Hello Daisy." I said.
"Kyla." she called and I felt happy to hear her voice.
"How are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm doing great Kyla.. guess where we went to yesterday." she said excitedly. I know they went to see the Queen of England because Mum already told me, but I don't want to burst her bubbles.
"Where did you guys go?" I asked.
"We went to see the Queen of England. She's very beautiful and nice..." she went on and on describing how she looks and I just smiled.
JEREMY'S P.O.V
I walked downstairs and saw her talking on the phone. I wonder what she really meant by what she said. Am I not spending enough time with her? I'm really confused. I walked to her and sat beside her. She glanced at me and continued with her phone call. Soon she ended the call and was focused on her phone.
"Baby please, what's really the problem? I seriously don't get you. I don't understand, I'm clueless. What do you really want?" I asked and she looked at me and dropped her phone on the side table.
"What I really want?" she asked and before I knew it, she started kissing me. She made me lie on the sofa and got on top of me, still kissing me. I held her close. "I love you J." she whispered still kissing me with her fingers in my hair while my hands found their way to her thighs. Someone cleared her throat and we both looked to see Grace.
"Sorry." she whispered and Kyle got of me. I sat up. "Sorry for interrupting but this is a living room. You shouldn't be doing that here." she said and Kyla chuckled.
"Yeah, it was crazy of me to do that." I said. I stood up.
"Grace, can you excuse us for few minutes?" I asked and she nodded. I held Kyle and we went upstairs to the room. I shut the door.
"Listen, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I just got carried away." she said.
"No don't be sorry, I actually loved it. It's no big deal. I'm your boyfriend anyway so I'd rather you do it with me than anyone else...but babe.." I walked close to her and held her hands. "Don't think I don't care about you, ok. You're my sweetheart so I obviously care about you. Stop being sad and angry all the time. It's makes me sad too." I said.
"I just... I love you so much. I'm sorry for making you sad all because of my whining and nagging." I said and embraced him shortly. We refrained and he looked at me.
"Promise me you won't always be moody." he said.
"I promise." I said. He kissed me.
"Are you sure?" he asked with a smile.
"Yeah." I said. He kissed me again.
"Are you really sure?" he asked and I giggled.
"Yeah." I said.
"That's great. So is there any edible food in this house cause I'm starving."he said and I laughed.
"Let's go." I said and we walked downstairs. Grace and Lorraine were setting the table. We sat down and started eating. My phone rang, it was Mum. "Excuse me, I have to take this." I said and walk to living room. I told mum everything that happened to Grace and she agreed to let her stay with me. I went back to the dining table and the two were arguing with each other. Oh my God.
"What happened?" I asked and sat down beside J.
"Well, I politely asked him to pass the salt to me but he didn't respond. So I had to stretch out my hand across the table to take the salt and he flared up, saying it was a bad table manner. Can you believe that?"Grace asked.
"She should have stood up and come all the way here, because there's such a thing as etiquette."J said. These two have started this morning. I had to laugh.
"What's the point of getting up when I could easily get it with just a hand stretch?" she asked.
"The point is maintaining a good table manner." he said.
"Seriously!"she exclaimed.
"That's enough you two." I said but they glared at each other.
