'I moved back to Oklahoma because i realized that i missed home and that i had grand children.Then, i started this bookshop and here we are!' Mrs. Jones told me happily. I was still shocked. Greyson stood beside me, listening to our conversation. He had a very confused look on his face. His grandma detected it and looked at him sternly. 'I'll explain to you later.' She said. He nodded his head, his hair flopping more on to his forehead. 'Mrs. Jones, i need to meet my sister soon. Thank you for the wonderful chat and the excellent cookies you always made me.' i said to her, politely. She laughed. 'I'll make more the next time you come around. You are welcome here any time. Greyson, would you show her out? '
'Oh, its fine, i can manage.' I tried to say. 'No, i insist, anyway Greyson would be more than happy to show you out.' she said glaring at Greyson. 'Sure.' He said to me, smiling. 'Come on, and grandma please don't stare at me like that.' He said, smiling. As we walked out, i could see Mrs. Jones shaking her head at Greyson but she was smiling. As we walked we did not talk much, but often i could feel his gaze on me, i would look away. I saw my sister tapping her foot impatiently, when she saw me she ran to me.
'DEE! WHY DID YOU- Oh.' Cam started but stopped when she saw Greyson. She was carrying a few shopping bags 'Sorry Cam I-' I started to say but she cut me off. 'JULES!'She shrieked. I rolled my eyes. 'I was talking to Greyson's Grandma, Jules. i said, exaggerating at Jules. I did not realize that Greyson was still standing beside me until he spoke. 'Cheyenne, my mum has invited your family over for dinner. Well, it was more of my grandma.' He said, smiling at me. Even though, he spoke to me it was Cam who answered. 'Sure.' She said like it was no big deal, shrugging her shoulders even.
He smiled at her. 'OK, I've got to go help my grandma with her books, see you tonight.' He said to me, his brown eyes staring intently at me. I made eye contact for a while then quickly breaking contact i cast my eyes to the ground and nodded. Why did i always act so nervous around him? I thought as we walked back.
'MOM! WE'RE HOME! Cam yelled as we opened the door. She ran to her room quickly. I wandered into the kitchen, to see my mum baking. The kitchen counter top was covered in floor as my mum stared intently at the recipe, murmuring to herself. Her apron was covered in flour and what i assumed was chocolate. There were baking trays full of burnt cookies on another table. 'Mum. Mum.' I called her. She ignored me. I sighed and wrote it on a piece of paper. Neighbours invited us over for dinner tonight. I scrawled. We had this system. Whenever mum ignores us, we write on a piece of paper for her to read later. My mum placed pencils and sticky notes in every room.
I walked up to my room, and i swing the door open. I saw my camera sitting on my table. I stare at it for a while, deciding if i should do it. In the end, i grabbed it and walked downstairs to the kitchen. Mom was still there murmuring to herself. I snapped at photo of her and walked up to my sisters room. I stopped in front of a creamy white door that had stickers all over it. A messy sign hung on the door. I was familiar with it. Camille's Room. It would say. But today, i saw the Camille, crossed out and Julia replacing it. I knock on the door. The door swung open. 'What do you want?' She asked, her tone bored.
I pointed to my camera. She sighed.
'Quick. Take it now.' She ordered me. I raised an eyebrow at her. I quickly snap a photo of my bored looking sister in front of her door and i hurry back to my room. I toss my camera on my bed and was about to walk to my bathroom but stopped when i heard a sound.
It was the voice i heard last night. That beautiful,heavenly voice. It was coming from my window. I walked to my window and see Greyson playing the piano in what i assumed was his living room. I pulled open the blinds, it was dark. He had a big clear sliding door that i could see through. He was singing. I could not hear the words but it must have been sad for he looked very sad. I sat on my window ledge, hooked. I loved his voice, it was so smooth and it looked so effortless. I closed my eyes to enjoy it. Suddenly, it stopped. I opened my eyes to see what had caused him to stop. He was staring at me.
