Caramel woke up to the sudden knock on the door. She opened her eyes slowly, as she tried to focus on something or where she was.
The door opened suddenly, startling her for a moment because she had a blanket over her body and it felt like she was naked beneath.
“Grey,” the voice stopped suddenly and that was when the puzzles filled themselves into places.
Grey asked her out and well, she accepted. It was what she had been waiting for anyways. She loved Grey like the air that she breathed.
“Violet!” Beatrice called and moved towards her. She had this wide smile plastered on her face. Caramel wasn’t actually expecting her to be happy that she met her daughter naked in a man’s bed.
“What happened here? Are you dating Grey already”
Caramel stared, dumbfounded. She didn’t know if she was supposed to say a negative or positive answer. “Somehow. Where’s Grey?”
“He went for his morning exercise. He will be back soon but you need to tell me if something is really happening between you two. Grey is a nice man to date or even marry,” she uttered.
Caramel felt shocked again.” Do you think he likes me?”
Beatrice laughed. ” Grey loves you. I’ve seen the way he looks at you or the way he reacts whenever you are in trouble. I don’t believe a man would love more than that,” she explained.
Caramel felt a surge of happiness. She smiled softly. “Yes, he asked me out and I responded but I merely thought he was under pressure,” she went back to being doubtful. She believed she did wrong for responding the night before or the fact that she decided to come to the house after she met with Richard.
Beatrice shook her head briefly and stood. “Grey isn’t that kind of man. He thinks very deeply before he makes a decision. It doesn’t matter if he’s angry or sad. Whatever he says has been something he had thought deeply about before he uttered it. He’s a great man. I’m making breakfast, you can join me downstairs when you are done cleaning up,” she informed and walked out of the room.
Caramel laid back on the bed, deep in thought as to what Beatrice had told her Beatrice seemed to know Grey, even more than she does. If she could say something so good about Grey, then it was nothing but the truth.
Well, she had that intrusiveness that Grey was a nice man. Poor or not, he was a very good man.
But she couldn’t believe she had sex with him the night before or the fact that they were now in a relationship
Grey walked inside and regarded Beatrice for a moment, realizing what he and Caramel did the night before.
Well, he loved Caramel even though it took him so long to admit it due to some circumstances. surrounding their meetings.
“Grey?” Beatrice called suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts. “You are back and well, your color looks so good”
Grey smiled and moved even nearer. Have you seen Caramel?”
Beatrice held a shocked look. “Caramel? Was she in the house? I only went to check your room but couldn’t find you” She teased.
Grey’s smile slowly evolved into a frown.” Did she leave?”
Beatrice suddenly smiled. “She’s in your room. I spoke to her not quite long,” she responded and turned around to continue chopping the vegetables.
Grey laughed wholeheartedly. “Did you just play me?”
Beatrice chuckled. “I can do that as your mother.”
“No, there’s no way you can be my mother and still be Caramel’s mother because we are currently in a relationship,” he revealed.
Beatrice smiled at this, feeling pleased. “Well, that makes me your mother. I’m your mother-in-law,” she turned to look at him and saw the shock on his face.
“You aren’t shocked or angry?”
“Why should I be? Have you forgotten this is what I initially wanted? I can’t believe you’ve been hiding your feelings all this while, why?”
Grey looked away. There’s something I didn’t tell you initially. It’s about the woman I married She used to be Caramel’s friend,” he looked up again.” That’s what has been pulling me back.”
Beatrice regarded him for a moment. “What changed your mind?”
Grey clenched his teeth. “Because I will not let anyone have Caramel. It can only be me and me alone.”
