month 6

Bella's Pov continues....

This was different...all different, sometimes I would think I'm dreaming and pinch myself to be sure.

Sometimes I would wonder if it was all a prank and someone will spring out from somewhere soon shouting April fool's even thou it was August.

I know my life too well, good things doesn't happen to me often and even when it did, it wouldn't last.

Grey's new behavior was everything I asked the heavens for. He was sweet, caring and funny, I use to tease him and him still being a baby and he would call me his mommy.

At times I would freeze and try to ensure that it was true, that it was actually happening... because it didn't look like Grey.

Martins had noticed it too, even Suzie, and she would tease me that she would be expecting a niece soon and I will tease her that I was expecting one from she and Martins.

Honestly, it was obvious that she was over him, too obvious.

The way they would talk to each other giving each other so much attention.

They would honestly make a good couple, especially since Suzie was the crazy one.

Today, Grey told me he was taking me to somewhere special and had to blindfold me throughout the ride there.

"Are we there yet" I whined.

"You just asked that 5 seconds ago Baby"

Oh did I mention that I got goosebumps all over my body till if possible my brain whenever he calls me that?

"Where are we even going to" I whined again.

" I told you...it's somewhere special and very dear to me" he said again.

"Are you sure you don't wanna kill me?" I asked.

" There are various other ways I could kill you without stressing myself which would be of pleasure to me Baby" he said and I knew he smirked saying the bullshit.

I groaned." But why do I have to be on blindfolds "

" Because I don't want you to know where the place is" he said and my mind began to trail off to those love novels in Suzie's library where the guy would take the girl to his secret spot and they would then make love there.....

What???

"Ok...we are here" he said and the car stopped moving.

I heard him open his door and then walked over to my side and opened the door ,then he helped me out and closed the door.

" You ready?" He asked as he held my blindfold ready to Yank it off.

"Sure" I mumbled.

Then he pulled it off.

"Welcome to my sacred home" he said with sarcasm in his voice.

Of course....I should have known better...it was Grey Hampton we were talking about here.

"KFC??" I scoffed.

He started laughing one of those his very annoying laughter.

"Where you expecting a garden with little lights and bloomy flowers?? No way" he continued laughing.

I started at him annoyed and he continued laughing.

"What are we doing here" I asked and crossed my hands over my chest.

He stopped laughing and pulled my hoodie to cover my head and part of my face so people wouldn't recognize me.

"Re-creating our first date" he said.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

"I'm stilled pissed with you for making me go out with you by 10:49pm to KFC " I said biting down on my chicken wing loving the taste.

" You're welcome" he shrugged.

"So why do you want to recreate the date anyway" I asked.

He threw a chip into his mouth.

" Well, the essence of the other date was to make us know each other better.....and I was being an asshole the other day so..." He shrugged.

"Oh then it's my turn to be an asshole then" I smirked and relaxed back on the chair and crossed my hands on my chest.

He pouted,"what are you doing?"

"Doing exactly what you did on our last date... nothing!!" I said.

"Oh c'mon Bella..." He whined.

But I had already brought out my I phone and brought it to my face pretending to be busy..

"Oh look..tik tok, ...wow kloe Kardashian is so pretty...wow look at this trend" I said faking seriousness.

Then I accidentally got engrossed in a documentary and honestly forgot Grey was right in front of me for nearly 30 minutes.

Then I looked up at him and he was staring at me... smiling.

"I was really an asshole that day wasn't I ? He asked.

I nodded.

" Is this how you felt?"

"Worse" I replied.

" I'm sorry" he said.

"It's okay...at least I've gotten my revenge" I said smiling.

" Okay, now let's get to know each other better" I said again.

He took a sip from his milkshake.

"What's your favorite color" he asked.

". Lilac...how about you?"

He smirked.

"Guess"

"Gray?"

" Wrong"

"Then what?"

"Black" he said. I rolled my eyes.

"Obviously... that's probably why you choose to call it black whiskey when it's actually gray" I said.

"Not actually" he said smiling.

"Then what?"

"Because it's black" he said in an obvious tone.

I smacked my hands on my head.

"I give up" I mumbled.

He laughed.

"Okay, vanilla or chocolate" he asked.

"Obviously chocolate" I answered.

He gave a small smile.

"I don't like chocolate" he said.

My eyes grew in shock.

"Are you human?!"

He laughed," I'm serious, I don't see what you all fancy in chocolates, I don't, I prefer vanilla" he said.

Then my lips frowned a little," that's why you didn't like your birthday cake"

He nodded,"but that's not still an excuse for my behavior"

"It's okay, noted" I said

"When is your birthday" he asked.

I paused,"you don't know??" I shrieked.

"Wait, wait wait...I can explain" he started laughing because of the way I was looking at him.

"Grey Sanez Hampton when is my birthday" I demanded.

"It's uhhh...it's uhhh"... Then I noticed him searching it online through his phone which was on his leg.

Then he looked down.

"January 10th" he said grinning.

You're lucky I'm a celebrity and you can find it on the internet

I stared at him frowning.

"I'm sorry I didn't know" he whined pouting again.

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, my turn to ask the questions."

I said throwing a chip into my mouth.

"Tell about your ex" I said.

"Which?"

"Mackenzie... you know.. the one everyone has been talking about" I said trying not to sound like I was pained or anything.... even if I was...a little

He chuckled a little..

"Who said I was dating her?" He asked .

My brow arched.

"Well like.. wait what?"

"I was never dating her" he said.

"But...but everyone sa-"

"Well they were wrong...I wasn't dating her, maybe she thought we were in a relationship but we weren't" he said

"So what was she to you?"

"My uhh... friend" he said scratching his Chin.

"Friend with Benefit" he said plainly.

My jaw dropped and the food I held in my hand hung .

He started laughing again," stop looking at me like that, its really funny"

"Wait wait...how long were you doing this uhh..thing?" I asked.

"Like...two years" he said and shrugged.

"That long!?" I asked.

" I'm a faithful person, I don't cheat" he said honestly.

"And you didn't catch feelings or whatever?" I asked.

"Nope" he replied.

"What about her? Did she?"

"I think she did, but she never told me about it so I was grateful" he said so casually.

"So what if she did?"

"I wouldn't date her" he answered.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because I didn't like her" he said with a shrug.

"So like, does she know me?" I asked.

"Naa she doesn't, but she probably does now, cuz she's a creepy stalker" he said

Just like me...

I was quiet for a while trying to process everything.

"You humans are just cruel" I said finally and he laughed.

"Sure thing miss alien" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"So when you told her , how did she react to it" I asked.

He shrugged again," I don't know, angry, pained or whatsoever and we never talked after that"

"Greyyyy!!"

"What?" He answered with no form of emotions.

"She must have been hurt!"

He shrugged again," what Should I have done? The whole stuff wasn't my idea..I mean... she had a huge crush on me in highschool and then we met later on and she brought up the suggestion...I didn't mind"

"She was in military highschool with you?" I asked

"Yup, she was the only girl that graduated with us, the others couldn't.

And she had been into me which I obviously knew but I wasn't interested in her"

"God Grey you're so mean" I said throwing a chip at him which he opened his mouth and it landed into. Then he smiled triumphantly.

"So you, tell me about your ex" he said.

The food I ate refused to go down my throat as I remembered Jacob.

"Uhhh... what? " I answered nervously.

"Your ex, your last ex, the very last you dated" he said.

"I haven't actually dated much guys tho" I said trying to change the topic.

"How many?" He asked.

"Well unlike you, I've had just two, and my first broke up with me because he was moving to Australia" I said.

He blushed"that's cute" he mumbled

"So, about the second?"

He asked.

I paused again, I don't want to start remembering him again.

I've been really grateful that I haven't seen him at least for the past 2 and a half year and I pray I never will till his funeral.

"Bella..." Grey called me out of my thoughts.

He noticed I was tensed.

"We should talk about that later right?" He asked and I nodded relieved.

" How many siblings do you have" I asked him.

" Only child" he said

"And you?" Ha asked.

"Well....I uhh" I took a deep breath in and out.

"Well, my mother didn't have enough money to go to a hospital the day I was born so she went to a maternity home and... she was pregnant for twins... she delivered my order brother first, but after she gave birth to me and before she was delivered, they had kidnapped him and taken him away.

And since then , we've been trying to track him ...we don't know if he's alive...or dead...we just want to know at least, and know who kidnapped him and why" I explained.

He held my hand and started rubbing it gently.

"He's alive, just have hope, and don't worry, I'll help you find him for sure"he said

I smiled," I just hope so, I'll be very happy to find out if he's alive"

"What about your dad" he asked.

I hissed when he said it.

"He got my mom pregnant in college and ran away, never seen him before...I hope he's dead honestly" I said angrily.

"That's unfair" he said

"Trust me..my life is worse than it seems...I told you..we are both messes"

He smiled a little.

" I guess we'll just have to fix each other then" he said smiling.

"Favorite food " I asked changing the topic.

"Chicken salad, you?"

"Everything..." I groaned and continued," but then I have to follow this stupid diet else I'll get fat and it'll spoil my body" I complained.

He bit a chip,"then I guess you should follow the diet pretty well" he smirked.

"Why?"

"Because you wouldn't want to ruin your sexy body" he said smirking.

My hand hung few inches near my mouth. I had the weirdest ways to react to shock.

He laughed again.

Wait, did he just say I'm sexy???

Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...I shrieked in my head.

I tried to hold the blush, but it was too obvious.

"Place you love pretty well?" He asked smiling.

"Hawaii, I use to imagine myself in an island on my honeymoon" I said with food in my mouth.

He nodded.

"Dreams?" He said smiling.

I sighed," I don't know...I have so. Many honestly... but there's this particular one I've been chasing since I was a teenager.

I wanna work for Nike.... I've always wanted to...buhh the possibility looks very slim sometimes."

His brow arched,"Nike?? As in designer company Nike?"

I nodded.

"I was their brand ambassador last year...I just quit of recent to focus on the airline" he said.

I stared at him in disbelief . This was my dream job, and someone just gave it up so easily.

"You worked for them?? Geez..no wonder I noticed you had a lot of Nike products in the house"

And also when I was stalking you

" I could help you thou" he said and a small smile appeared on my face.

"Seriously?" I said.

"Yeah, I mean...we probably didn't come across each other by mistake, maybe this is it.

I'll make sure I help you accomplish your dreams Bella, all of it" he said honestly.

Grey was oh my God a thousand person in one body.

Cold, aggressive, nice, sweet, afraid, brave, honest, confusing, frustrating and kind.

Nike had been my dream company, and he just promised me to make that dream come true.

"Thanks alot Grey, this means so much to me... honestly" I said sincerely.

"You're welcome" he replied

We ate for a while in silence.

"Insecurities". He asked and I froze.

"You already know mine"he added.

"Uhhh...uhhmm" I began to think.

" My whole life is an insecurity of it's own... but I think my. Biggest phase of anxiety will be loosing... loosing everything... everyone.

I mean.. like...I don't have much to hold onto, I have just very few people in my life... the others are just part of the story... and I'm just scared that I'm going to loose everything... I've lost my dad already and my brother, I don't have much left to loose, and I'm scared that if I loose another person again, I might not be able to take it easy, I might just break down" I said sadly.

He was quite for seconds, processing what I just said.

"Soo..." He started.

"Am I going to be a part of your life and the people you're scared of loosing,or just a part of the story" he asked.

I wasn't expecting that question, I didn't even realize when I said that part, I didn't even think he was going to pay attention to that statement.

"For now....I don't know.. time will tell eventually" I said.

He nodded.

Now it was my turn to say something to leave him speechless .

"What was the first thing you said in your head when you met me?"

His lips struggled not to smirk.

"Damn this girl is pretty".

"Stop it" I whined and started blushing agaaaaaiiiinnnn.

"I'm serious tho" he said again grinning.

We talked about a couple of other things and decided to end the night.

We paid the bills and then got outside.

That's when I noticed some of Grey's body guard were outside waiting for us

"Seriously?? You had to bring them too" .

"There's no way you think I'll take you out by this time of the night all alone'' he said.

"Right, you're still a baby boy'' I teased and he smiled.

"Did you enjoy your date?" He asked as we approached his car.

"Was better than the first,it was okay" I answered...

He nodded.

"So what's next.. what's next to recreate?" I asked, he paused his lips to think and then that naughty smile appeared on his lips again.

He took a step closer and whispered," how about our first kiss" .

The way he said it, the way it came out of his mouth, the way the wind carried it and the way it sank into my ear made me catch goosebumps all over my body.

"Uhhhhmmm..." Was all that could come out of my mouth as his face was slowly coming in contact with mine.

Fuck this was happening too fast, way too fast for me to handle.

And worse, what if paparazzi were hiding somewhere taking pictures of this, I would have to start explaining to the media in my next interview how I got secretly married.

"Grey.."

"Mmm" he mumbled close to my mouth.

I bit my lips. I started staring at his. They were pink, sexy pink. All the adrenaline in my body started begging me to kiss him. But I couldn't....not now.

"Don't you think we should... take things slow...." I said.

He gave a small smile and slowly pulled back.

"Yeah right...we should take things slow"he whispered and went to the car door and opened it for me.

I sighed.

I never knew things would get this cheesy ... and it was funny how I liked this type of cheesy.

I just hoped it would last.

I hoped...
