Grey and I have been avoiding each other lately.... mostly him tho.
Sometimes I'll try to bring up a conversation at least so we could talk a little, he either answered back coldly or never replied at all.
I was frustrated, I mean even if I wasn't the wife he wants at least we could be friends.
And maybe if we just get along perfectly well, maybe we can talk about our divorce or something since he disliked me so much.
The past three weeks, Grey would wake up and leave the house as early as 5 am and come back by past midnight.
We didn't talk, we didn't interact, he barely even touched my food and would avoid me like a plague.
About a week ago he told me he was going to "none-of-your-business "
Place at Hollywood and wouldn't be back until a month and I was more than grateful to God.
It'd been like a month since we got married and it wasn't even looking like he was ready to free himself any time soon.
After I got back from work that day, I was so tired I didn't cook I went straight to bed to sleep.
About few minutes past 2 my eyes flew open because I was hungry.
I dragged my lazy legs to the kitchen to cook something.
Suzie had told me to avoid late night food that it would make my tummy big ,but at this point I was hungry and didn't care.
I started hearing strange sounds coming from the kitchen and my heart's skipping a beat.
Grey was in New York at the moment and there was no one else in the house.
The security guards didn't even come to the house for any reason so that simply meant one thing...
We were under attack
How did the person even get in? What happened to all the tight security and most importantly,....why in the kitchen
I walked quietly and slowly into the kitchen,the lights were off so I could only see a bit of the person.
I had some karate lessons last year so I was ready to attack.
I slowly picked up the spatula on the counter and charged towards the person hitting the person directly in the head very hard.
" What the fuck!????" The person screamed.
Wait..
Grey??
I ran to the switch and turned it on and met Grey on the floor holding his head in pain
" Oh my God ,I'm so sorry, I thought we were being robbed...I mean...I didn't think it would be you...I mean...
What are you even doing here I thought you were supposed to be in New York??? " I blabbed.
" The fuck Billie are you crazy!??"
Oh wow like he still doesn't know my name!???
" My name is not Billie" I said calmly
" I don't care!!"
"I'm sorry,I didn't know you were going to be back home so early. You said you were traveling so I didn't think of anyone else that knows the house password....I'm sorry Grey" I said very remorseful.
"Well I just got back and I was hungry looking for one of my cereals to eat only to realize you replaced them with vegetables" he groaned in anger and pain
I was about to give him a long lecture about eating healthy food ,but I noticed this wasn't the time for that kinda talk.
He groaned and I noticed he was slightly bleeding
"Wait.. don't move...I'll.get the first aid kit " I said and ran to get it and came back.
"Don't touch me" he hissed trying to push me away when I sat on the floor with him
" Just calm down I'll fix it...I promise"
He didn't resist again and I cleaned the wound.
When I was done, he stood up and walked away without saying anything.
"I'm sorry..." I whispered sadly realizing he was very angry.
I sighed frustrated and pulled my knees to touch my chin .
I was always ruining everything....as usual.
I wasn't even feeling hungry anymore.
I walked down to the living room and layed on the couch and wrapped my hands around my body until I finally slept off.
My eyes opened again and this time it was morning.
My mind immediately went back to what happened last night,I stood up to go and look for Grey and apologize again but then a blanket fell off from my body.
Blanket???
I didn't sleep with one... unless.....
Awwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnn
Grey must have noticed I was cold and covered me.
So he could be this nice?
I got up and went round the house looking for him and finally met him in the gym
He had a bandage around his head and he was sweating, throwing punches at the punching bag like he was trying to release anger....shirtless
I took my time to take in his features.
Grey was a handsome guy I repeat...GREEK GOD handsome .
He was muscular, very muscular.
He had a tattoo of a lion on his back and an abstract one by his side, it was just... perfect.
Then , just like he noticed my presence, he turned and saw me. Standing by the door.
He cleaned the sweat on his forehead out.
"Here to try to kill me again?" He asked.
" Actually, here to apologize" I replied honestly.
" Well there isn't much that can do to undo things is there?"
I paused before I spoke," at least it shows that I'm remorseful"
H didn't say anything again, he went back to throwing punches.
I sighed and texted Suzie I'll be at work in 30 minutes.
When I got to work and told her what happened, Suzie laughed, Suzie laughed so much that she fell off the chair .
" It's not funny Suzie, he's really mad at me" I whined
She didn't even stop , she laughed so hard till she was satisfied.
" But it's funny" she said recovering from the laugh.
She ended up assuring me that he'll get over it and went back to our photo shoot.
Then I decided to go online on Instagram and check out if there was anything new and I saw a suggested person for me to follow.
Grey Hampton
I had this huge urge to click on it and check all his posts
Creepy stalker
I'm not stalking...I'm just...... checking
Then I clicked on it and went into his Page.
While I was saying Grey looked greek god handsome in real life, his pictures were different.
What is called... ahh Yes...
CELESTIAL BEING!!!!!!
I know I don't swear a lot but fuckkkkkkk ... his pictures were waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy hotter than I could imagine.
I went through all his pictures, most of them advertising him airline, the others were pictures of him wearing different Nikes.
He works for them?
Then I noticed one other picture, it was a picture he took on our wedding day, he was trying to remove the suit and someone caught him off guard...then I suddenly felt sad...
He didn't post our wedding pictures.
Honestly I did..I posted a whole lot and left then caption less so people would think it was one of my random wedding photo shoot pictures since I had done that in the past too.
But Grey didn't even make any effort to put me in his Instagram page or even show like he cared.
Cuz he doesn't stupid
Maybe I should just give up on trying to make us work out and leave things the way we are and become the total strangers that we are .
Beside, we were never meant to be.
I told Suzie I was going home that I wanted to rest and she didn't mind.
I got back to the house and found someone in the kitchen stuffing his face with the lasagna I cooked for myself to eat when I get home...but this time it wasn't Grey...it was Martins
" Martins what are you doing in my kitchen?" I almost laughed because he was eating like a dog.
" My God Bella are you the one that cooked this? Obviously it's you cus Grey stinks at cooking...but hell this is delicious...so fucking good" I smiled.
That was the complement I wanted to hear from Grey
" Thanks but that was mine" I said giggling
" Oh you still want it back?" He said and stretched out the almost empty plate to me
I laughed," no thank you"
He shrugged and continued eating.
"So how's is you and Grey going" he asked
I sighed as I recall how we've been living like enemies in the same house.
He continued talking," it's ok , I understand. Grey is still upset Shou I whole forced marriages thing"
"But he had his choice to make, I was the one got forced, not home!! "
I grabbed my hair in frustration and began to pour everything on Martins
" I know he didn't want to get married to me, neither did I, I know he wanted me to reject him on our wedding day, but I couldn't,. I just couldn't, he would not suffer what I would have faced,it would have been only me.
I know he had a girlfriend and now he had to break up with her just to be with me,I know it was because of my presence that Mrs Benson left but hell there was nothing I could do to change anything, I couldn't do anything, I couldn't, he could!!
He had the power to say no but I couldn't! So he should stop pouring all the aggression on me , he should stop making me look like I'm the reason why everything in his life is falling apart..I'm tired I'm just tired"
Martins dropped the food and put his hands on my shoulder.
" Hey chill out.... breath, just breathe.ok? I'll talk to him for you, maybe he doesn't know what he's doing, just calm down ok?
Keep being good, keep being nice, it always has a reward okay? Just don't give up too soon... you're a strong girl" ..
Strong girl
How many people have told me that.
I sighed again and replied in a whisper.
" I mean can't we even at least be friends, this is how I'm going to spend the rest of my life, ghosting and avoiding each other?"
" I'll talk to him I promise, Grey will understand, he's not that horrible." He assured me and gave me a small hug.
This guy is so nice...I with it was him I got married to and not Grey.
I went to my room and without taking my clothes off, I sank into my bed and slept
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing
"PICK THE PHONE BITCH" that was the ringing tune that Suzie had set for me anytime she called me so I would immediately know it's her and pick the call.
"What.. what? " I groaned sleepy
"Guess what I found out?" She asked
"What?"
" Grey's birthday is tomorrow" she said.
I rolled my eyes
" So why are you telling me" seriously?? That was why she woke me up??
"Because he's your husband stupid. And you've been complaining recently that he's not ok being around you, then make him.
It's his birthday, you could do something special for him, and he'll realize how nice you are and maybe start adjusting to you" she had a point tho.
"But what will I give him ? He's freaking rich he has so much money to get himself anything"...
" Then do something special, like maybe like an early morning surprise party or something.
Make it special and nice, tell him you want you guys to talk about your relationship and straighten things out."
" Thanks Suzie, but what does he like?"
" I don't know, ask Martins maybe" she said and I ended the call.
I checked the time and it was few minutes past 8.
It's not too late to go to a night shopping.
I searched around my bag and found the card Martins gave to me if I had any problem to call him.
I dialed his number and after a few rings ,he picked the call.
"Martins Adam , how may I help you?"
" Hey Martins it's me Bella"
" Hey .. any issue?
" Uhhh...no not really, I just heard that Grey's birthday is tomorrow?"
"Yes that's true I'll be coming over to the house pretty early so I can stop him from going to work so we could party"
"Uhm..I wanted to uhm...well do something a bit uhm... special... like maybe bake him a cake and throw a small surprise party for him in the morning.. maybe it'll like... break the ice between us" I replied nervously
" That's a great idea, I'll come with some of the boys tomorrow, we'll be there by 8am. I'm sure the idea will work"
" Thanks" I said and ended the call.
I changed into a big black hoodie and some jeans and used the hoodie to cover my head so at least people wouldn't notice me that quick.
I grabbed my keys and headed downstairs.
I met Grey in my living room working on his laptop.
I'll make sure I'll break this ice, I promise.
I went into my car and drove to a supermarket and got all I needed.
And still with the casual dressing, someone still noticed it was me and begged for a picture and autograph.
I did cheerfully and went back home.
I went back home climbed my bed and brought out a sketch pad.
I was an amazing artist, I could draw and make the prettiest picture in a short period.
I carried my iPhone and went back to his Instagram page and began to draw one of his pictures that I honestly admired.
I took my time to make sure that I got it perfect and then wrote greek god by the side.
I checked my time and it was almost midnight and I set an alarm to wake me up by 4
And by four o'clock, I was already up.
I went to the kitchen quietly and began to bake the cake.
It was a medium size chocolate fruit cake, then I tried designing the kitchen a little and arranged the table and when I was done, I took a picture and texted Martins that I was done and sent the picture to him.
He said it was very amazing and that he'll be there soon and that it was the boys that were delaying him.
And about few minutes to 8 the door opened and my heart skipped a beat as he walked in.
He looked confused as he stared around the kitchen and then his eyes landed on the cake.
"Happy birthday" I said nervously
" I ...I baked this for you...at least to start your day.. and I drew that picture..."
He didn't say anything and the silence was driving me crazy.
He walked quietly over to the table,he took the picture that I had put in a glass frame in his hands and stared at it... with no form of emotion in his face.
I had expected him by now to smile and pull me in for a hug and say thank you very much Bella, but he didn't, he was dead quiet.
He uses a fork and scooped a part out of the cake and tasted it, then dropped the form.
" Thanks" then he opened the kitchen door and walked away.
I stood there too shocked to move a bone.
He just left... just like that...
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
My time, my energy, my night, wasted.
Then the door opened again and Martins barged in.
" Happy bir-"
He paused immediately he saw my expression .
He stared at the cake.
He took a while to analyze the whole situation.
"Did he-?"
I shook my head slowly.
" I wasted my time" I whispered slowly
" I'm so stupid..." I said pained.
Martins was confused and the other boys came in and noticed the tension...
" What happened?" Kaybee asked as the silence between us increased.
" Forget it.." I said and sat on the floor and they immediately knew what happened, Grey didn't say anything about it.
" What the fuck dude she put so much effort into this" one of his friend said.
Martins stormed out of the kitchen.
Then I heard him yelling at him from a distance.
" Dude what the fuck was that about?? Do you know how much effort she put into this.."
" I didn't ask her to" he said calmly and I broke inside more
His other friends left the kitchen and went to meet him too.
" Dude don't say that, don't fucken say that, she spent her entire night trying to do this surprise thing for you man that's not fair" Martins continued yelling at him
" I don't Care" he said again very calmly.
That was just the worse. I got up and walked quietly upstairs while Martins continued yelling at him.

I went to my closet, found clothes to wear and walked out quietly. They paused when I entered again and passed them.
You're too nice
Those words hunted me
" Bella" Martins called me
" I'll see you around" I said firmly and walked out of the house, into my car and zoomed off.
A/N:
That was so unfair right!? I mean how would you react that way to someone that tried to make your day??
Oh my God I'm already hating Grey right now!!
Am I the only one who thinks Grey is a self-centered jerk ??
I'm sooo angry 😤
