I run.

I'm such a coward.

I don't even know why I did it.

It felt so right at that time. His eyes were twinkling with happiness. He looks gorgeous under the glare of the fireworks.

I think I have eureka at that moment.

I admit, I am inexperienced in all of things specially on relationships but I know what I feel.

I know I've known Grey Grey in just a few months but in those months he shows me how a woman should be treated and cherish.

I've said this a million times before, his family was one of a kind. They accept me with open arms. I did not see, feel or hear any judgement from them which I am very grateful. At this times, Greyson's family was a stand out. You can't see a family with that kind of very close relationship.

What's my realization?

I love Greyson. I do.

Not because he gave me everything. I love him because he sees the real me from day one and he accepts all of me. He did not once ask me about my dyslexia or about my family. He respects my privacy.

At a distance I saw the silhouette of Greyson running towards the car.

I felt bad that I leave him but the situation calls for it.

I need a minute to myself to gather my thoughts.

Greyson opened my side, he kneels and pulls me to his arms.

"God precious! Don't run I like that! I got so worried."

Wrap my arms on Greyson's waist and rub his back.

"I am sorry Grey Grey. I just need a minute to myself."

Greyson's arm tightened around me. "I understand precious. I understand."

I bury my face to his chest. "Thank you Grey Grey for this wonderful date. I don't know how other people date went but yours was the best."

"You're welcome precious." He replied.

"On our next date I want to go parasailing." I suddenly get excited on the prospect of going to the beach.

"Whatever you want precious." I can hear a strain on Greyson's voice.

I push him to see his face clearly. His face show no emotion but when I scrutinize his eyes it shows apprehension?

"We can do other thing Grey Grey. You don't need to follow what I want."

Greyson shakes his head. "No precious. We will do whatever you want. I just need to arrange some before our next date."

Documents?

"I don't know what that means but okay. Get up Grey Grey. You don't need to kneel. You might squeeshing innocent insects right now because you're heavy."

Greyson narrow his eyes at me nonetheless he still stand up.

"I am not that heavy precious." He whined. "It's pure muscles."

True.

Yummy muscles.

"Do you have a flashlight?" I ask randomly.

Greyson looks at me quizically but he brings out his phone and press something on it. After a few press a bright light shined at the back of his phone.

He gave me his phone. I carefully receive his phone and shine the light on the ground where Greyson kneels.

I gasp.

I point accusing fingers at him.

"Look at what you did! You kneel on the poor thing!"

Two ants was flattened because Greyson kneel directly at them.

I illuminate the place if there are other casualties. Thank God everything was clear.

I carefully steps out of the car.

"At least we could do was to give them a proper burial."

"What?!" I place the light directly to Greyson's face. The bright light made him wince.

"This is your fault." I reprimand.

"Get a big leaf."

Greyson stare at me for a minute to see if I am really serious. "As a heart attack Greyson Blake."

Greyson sigh and proceeds to go around to pick up what I am asking.

He came back holding 3 kinds of leaf.

I chose a bigger and greener leaf.

"Mr. Hulk." I called.

Mr. Hulk walk towards me.

"Dig a small hole please." I ask.

Mr. Hulk looks at me and down the 2 ants on the ground.

He nodded and he proceeds to bring out a small flash light and illuminates the ground that he was walking on.

Now the burial place is arrange.

I gave back to Greyson his phone. "Hold it properly so I can pick up Mr. and Mrs. Smith properly."

"You name them?!" Greyson as incredulously.

"Yes and your point?" I arch my eyebrows.

"Nothing ma'am." He answered immediately.

"Good."

I crouch and carefully pick up Mr. and Mrs. Smith and place them in the middle of the leaf.

I slowly went to where Mr. Hulk dug the hole that I ask while Greyson was shining the light of his phone to the path.

I ask only one Mr. Hulk but I found out 4 Mr. Hulk was waiting on us.

I crouch and place Mr. and Mrs. Smith on their resting place.

I hold Grey Greys hand and on the other hand I hold Mr. Hulks.

We all hold hands and I pray for the soul of Mr and Mrs. Smith and I also include the souls of other insects and animals that was killed accidentally and on purpose.

After the prayer I nodded at one of the Mr. Hulk and he cover the grave with soil using a long stick.

The other Mr. Hulk place flowers around the grave.

How thoughtful.

"Thank you Mr. Hulk."

Mr. Hulk nodded in acknowledgement.

"Let's go home." I murmur.

We went back inside the car with a heavy heart.

Silence surrounds the car while we travel, until I remember that I needed to say something.

"Grey Grey."

"Yes. Precious?" He ask while concentrating on the road.

"I love you." I said simply.

The car swerves suddenly to the right but then Greyson took the control of the car back. He stops the car on the side of the road.

"Mr. Rosen-Hower are you alright?" The voice of Mr. Hulk ask from the speaker.

"Yes Mr. Hulk." I amswered since Greyson was still out of it.

I look at Greyson and he was already staring at me. He looks like he's either going to kill or devour me. I don't think I like those two options.

"Grey Grey?" I ask cautiously.

Greyson reach out and he remove my seatbelt.

He back his seat and lifts me out of my seat. He placed me on his lap.

Greyson nozzles his head on my neck. I can feel his nose tracing my neck.

"Precious."

"Hmm?"

"Are you trying to kill me?" He ask.

"No? Why would I kill you Grey Grey?" I answered.

"I just want to tell you that I love you."

Greyson peck the whole spans of my neck.

I admit. It tickles but I need to sit still.

"While I was driving?" He ask.

"There's no better time than the present." I answered.

Greyson chuckles.

"I love you too." He murmur.

"You do? Are you sure? You are not forced to say it back Grey Grey?"I gasp.

"I loved you even before precious. It's just, you said it first." He explained.

"You really love me?" I ask again? I can feel tears forming in my eyes. Why am I getting emotional? Why are girls emotional? It doesn't make sense.

Greyson mutely nodded. He remove his face from my neck and looks at my face.

He was startled when he saw me crying.

"Why are you crying precious?" He ask while hurriedly wiping my tears with his thumb.

"You still love me even if I can't read and write properly or I am always checked out of reality?"

"Yes precious."

"Or -or even my family was a piece of work?"

"We are your family now precious. Family doesn't need to be blood relative precious." He answered.

I nodded.

"I love you." He said so sweetly, both his dimples are showing and that cause another round of tears run down my face.

"I love you too." I answered happily. I hug him tightly.

"I can't believe we are confessing our feelings inside a car precious. I planned to confess my feeling in a different setting."

"The place doesn't matter Grey Grey."

I pull back and stare at Greyson's breathtaking face.

Again without any warning I kiss him on his lips.

His soft, plump and pinkish lips.

I pull back and saw him wide eyed.

"Again." He murmur.

So I kiss him again.

I pull back and smiles.

"Again precious. I think I did not feel those 2 times." He said seriously.

I giggle. He's such a cutie.

Greyson kiss me on my forehead and sigh.

"Let's go home?" He murmur.

"Okay."

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

The whole way Greyson was holding my hand. At one point I dozed off.

I feel someone kissed my whole face.

"We're here precious." Greyson whisper.

I open my eyes and saw Greyson kneeling again on my side.

"I hope you did not kill another poor insect Grey Grey." I warn.

Greyson shooks his head. "I checked before I kneel precious."

"Good." I answered sleepily.

"Do you want to eat dinner? It's only 7pm." He ask.

I nodded.

He helps me out of the car. Hand in hand we walk towards the front door.

Once Greyson opened the door, I was startled when I saw all his family was waiting at the foyer with the other staffs properly lined up on the sides.

"Congratulations!!" They all shouted then suddenly Greyson and I was drench with confettis.

His parents reached to us first. Ella hugged me tightly.

"When's the wedding Sunshine??" She ask.

"Wedding?" I ask baffled.

Ella look at me clearly confused.

"Yes. I thought Grey proposed to you tonight and you said yes."

Huh?

I look at Greyson and he shrug his shoulders.

"Who told you I propose mommy?" Greyson ask.

In my peripheral vision I saw Gabriel slowly escaping.

"Gabriel." I called.

Gabriel freeze on his spot.

"Yes big sis?" He smiles innocently.

If you ask me?Too innocent, too suspicious.

I saw Grey scrutinizing his younger brother.

"What did you do Gabriel?" Greyson ask, his bluish-greyish eyes narrowed.

"Nothing?" He is lying.

"Gabriel's the one who said you propose big brother." Ameera snitched.

"You traitor!" Gabriel accused Ameera while Ameera stuck her tongue out at her brother.

Gabriel runs out of the house and Greyson was hot on his heels. We heard Gabriel screech and we heard a splash of water afterwards.

I glance back to Ella and ask."Aren't you worried about Gabriel? Greyson might kill him."

"Gabriel is like a cockroach, he can even survive nuclear war." Ella informed me happily.

I look at James to see if he heard the same.

"What she said was true. Still waiting for that DNA test." He answered.

Greyson went back dragging a wet pouting Gabriel by his collar.

Greyson drops Gabriel in the middle of the foyer.

Gabriel stands up, grins and open his arms.

"Who wants a hug?" He ask.

All of us panics and runs in every direction.
