Chapter 3 Second Meeting

"Were you really waiting for me?" Emma asked Gray after the long silence

"Yes,why are you asking?"

"Nothing, just wanted to confirm" Emma replied

"Confirm? You think I was lying?" Gray asked

"Not at all,it's okay. Let's forget that, anyway I am going home with you" Emma said

"Why?"

"I miss mother, and besides she missed me too. But,is the president home?"

"I don't think he's home,I heard him telling mom that he will be going on a trip" Gray replied

"I knew it"

"I have a good news anyway" Gray said with a smile

"What is it?"

"I am not supposed to tell you,,it's a secret,but....."

"But you love me" Emma interrupted with a wink and Gray smiled before he continued

"Angel and Henry will be back tomorrow" Gray said and immediately Emma screamed out

"Oh my God!! Are you for real?"

"Of course,they wanted me to keep it as a secret though. Don't you dare tell mom about this,I am the only one who is aware of it."

"I promise to zip my mouth,but I can't wait to see them,it's almost three years right?"

"Yeah,I can't wait to see them too,especially Angel" Gray grinned

Angel and Henry are Gray's older siblings, Henry is the eldest who is 22 and Angel, 20 then followed by Gray who is the last child. These two live in Switzerland, studying and taking care of the family businesses at the same time.

"F**k, Raymond will be so crazy if he find out about Angel coming home" Emma said and they both laughed

"Your brother is actually a funny guy,he always ask me about Angel each time he's with me,"

"Raymond is seriously annoying,I've told him countless times to call her but I think he's shy,,he's so naive" Emma scoff

"Everyone is not gonna be like you" Gray teased

"Don't start with me Gray" she laughed

*****

After few minutes,they finally arrived at the large mansion painted in white all through, inside the mansion, almost like a paradise ,so beautiful and spacy,guards going all around doing their job,,different cars of different color,,

Just with a glance,one would know it's a president's house indeed.

Immediately Gray drove into the compound,the guards rushed to both sides of the car to open the door for them. They got down and Gray gave one of the guards the car key.

"Mother!!" Emma shouted running into the house

"Damn,she's too loud" Gray muttered as he followed gently

"Oh,it's our pretty Emma" Mrs Connor said as Emma fell into her arms in a tight hug

"I missed you so much mother," Emma said

"Me too baby,how have you being?" Mrs Connor asked

"I've been amazing mother,thanks for the cookies you sent to me,I really enjoyed it"

"What? She sent you cookies?" Gray asked

"Of course"

"But mom,I didn't get any" Gray said

"Sorry,I made it specially for Emma" Mrs Connor said and Emma jumped up happily

"That's not fair mom" Gray said

"Don't be jealous" Emma winked

"I am jealous right now,but I think I am hungry, can you tell the maids to get me something to eat?" Gray said and went upstairs

"So,how are you two doing? No problem right?" Mrs Connor asked

"No problem"

"Don't hesitate to tell me if something is wrong,okay?"

"Thank you mother,you're the best." Emma said and pecked her cheek

"You can go to him,I will tell the maids to bring food for you guys"

"Can't wait,am starving too" Emma said running upstairs

***

Emma opened the door to Gray's private suit and walked straight to the bedroom.

"Gosh Emma,you should at least knock" Gray half yelled as he tried to bottoned his shirt up

"Not like you're naked or something, and besides,you don't have to hide anything from me" Emma said and hugged him from the back

"You are mine,mine alone" she muttered rubbing his naked chest gently

"And,I am yours too. I can't wait to get married to you,I can't" she added and Gray rolled his eyes.

"You don't have to be impatient, we are going to study first" Gray said

"I know....but..I love you so much. I don't want anyone coming between us. You love me as much as I do right?" She asked

Gray pulled her hands off gently and faced her.

"Why are you suddenly saying all these?? No one is coming between us.."

"I asked a question,, do you love me as much as I do? I love you really damn much, but what about you?" Emma asked staring straight into his eyes,,, he was quiet for almost a minute before speaking up

"You know I do,stop asking" he said

"No,I want to hear the word"

"I love you" Gray said and pecked her lips

"I think the food is here,let's eat" he said and held her hand going out of the bedroom.

'Even if you don't love me now,I don't care. I will do everything to make you do,no one is gonna be with you aside me,just you and I,no one else" Emma said inwardly

******

Quinn entered into the house and threw her bag on the couch before running into the kitchen, the kind of dryness she was feeling in her throat at that moment is unexplainable.

'Welcome mam" The maids present greeted

She ignored the maids and grab a bottle of chilled water,after drinking to her satisfaction, she faced them.

"Thanks, is mom home?" Quinn asked

"No"

She groaned

"But she told me she have nothing to do at the court today,,,gosh she's annoying" she continue to murmur as she walked out of the kitchen.

She went for her bag and then ran upstairs into her room.

She dropped her bag and entered the bathroom,

She washed her face and took a loud breath out, she went back to the room and almost immediately her phone rang out.

She took the phone and wondered who it was,she picked it anyway.

📞Hi?

📞 Hey,,it's Cecelia

📞 Wow,,Lia,this is so fast. I'm just getting home

📞 are you okay?

📞 Of course,, just bored. What are you doing?

📞 Nothing,,just sitting down,,remember we have an assignment,don't forget that.

📞 We can just do it together,,, but I am hungry. Let's switch to a video,,,

📞 I think I will love that

Cecelia said and immediately hanged up.

*******

*Next Day**

As Quinn dropped down from the car,she immediately arranged her scattered hair properly and started running since she was already late.

She was still running when she bumped into a body,,

"Oh gosh!" The person yelled as she landed on the floor

"I'm so sorry,,am sorry" Quinn pleaded and helped her up

The girl frowned and nodded

"I'm so sorry,,I wasn't watching,, so damn late" Quinn said helping her with her bag

"It's fine,am okay. Are you not the new girl in my class? Quinn right?"

"Oh,,you're in my class? What's your name?" Quinn asked

"Demetra" She answered

"Wow,pretty name. I didn't see you yesterday,,"

They both started walking to the class

"You were all over Cecelia you didn't notice anybody else" Demetra said and Quinn smiled

"We can be friends too,,,"

"No we can't,, since you're Cecelia's friend we can't. See you around" Demetra said as soon as they entered the class

"What's wrong??" Quinn wondered

👥 Hey Demetra!

👥 Demetra

The class continue to call her name and she waved in return until she sat down

'Who is she?' Quinn wondered again and sat down beside Cecelia still lost in word

"What are you thinking?" Cecelia asked and Quinn chuckled before facing her

"Hey Lia,," Quinn grinned

"Hi,,,you came in with Demetra" Cecelia scoffed

"Why? Are you two enemies?" Quinn asked

"She's my ex_best friend " Cecelia rolled her eyes

"Wow" Quinn muttered

"Did she tell you anything silly?"

"Nope,,she only said she can't become my friend since I am your friend,, I don't understand though. But,what happened between you two? She seems like a cool girl" Quinn said

"I will tell you about it later,,"

"And,why are the students all screaming out her name?" Quinn asked looking confused

"Her brother is one of senior Gray's friend,,,his name is Tony,,the girls always respect Demetra since they all are crushing on her brother,, it's crazy isn't it?" Cecelia scoffed

"It's cute,,,I wish I have a brother who is popular in high school too" Quinn grinned and Cecelia rolled her eyes

"I guess you're also crushing on her brother" Quinn teased

"No am not,," Cecelia snapped immediately

"Hmmm,,okay"

"I am not crushing" Cecelia repeated

"Okay" Quinn smiled

"But I really want to be friends with her,,can you two settle your differences? Oh,,,I will do it,,,"

"No,,don't"

"I will"

"No Quinn"

They were both interrupted by the teacher who came in.

"Gosh,,I hate History" Cecelia groaned

"The teacher's face look somehow" Quinn whispered to her and Cecelia nodded in agreement

"Everyone,bring out your texts,," The teacher said coldly

"F**k,,,I am not with mine" Quinn muttered

"If you don't have,, out of my class please" The teacher said without looking up

Cecelia scoffed

"Don't worry,,,I will be fine" Quinn said and stood up

"A new student? Are you serious right now?" The teacher half yelled

"I'm sorry,,I,,"

"Out,," She snapped

Quinn almost rolled her eyes as she walked out of the class grumpily

******

After walking round for almost five minutes,she finally entered the library which seems empty.

She got a novel and then sat down on a chair

"Oh,thank goodness I am alone here. Gosh this school is annoying,how can she send me out of the class just because of a text?? Her face was looking like a burnt and unaccepted sacrifice,, the president should get pretty teachers not ugly ones like her,,,am so mad right now,,,,,,"She continue talking and opening the novel pages angrily

"You've been talking for 53 seconds without stopping" a voice suddenly said from her back and she flinched before turning back

She gasped when her eyes met with Grays ,,,

'Oh no,,,I mentioned the president,,,,' she cried inwardly
