Freak

Real talk and cute girl

"Stop it, Grams...... Stop teasing me." Eve stretched her neck feeling uneasy in the pit of her stomach not capable of digesting sudden change in her life.

She decided to ignore Evan and her Grams for the rest of the day hiding in her new room arranging her books and other stuff.

She holds her sketchbook firmly, turning its pages one by one until she reached her last sketch, She named it Journey With gleam. The sketch shows man rest in his seat with a peaceful soft expression with perfect features. She does not meant to sketch him in the first place that too without his permission. But she can't resist her temptation to glance at him to capture him with her. She even gave him the name Gleam.

Eve was beaming with a bright smile looking at his sketch. Her Grams was at the door of her room watching her carefully, She was happy to see Eve grinning ear to ear after so long. but still decide to tease her more.

"What's with your face, it is brighter than the sun sweet?" Flora teased and wink at her granddaughter Eve making her move faster than the light in anxiety to hide her sketchbook.

"Is it that obvious, Now grams can see through me? What will she think of me that I am acting like a love lost teenager." Eve thought to herself hiding her face with her hands.

" Come sweet, Evan prepared a delicious meal for you... I mean for us..." Flora winks again, living her dazed.

"God! Grams was glaring at Evan earlier, and now she's in the mood to joke around and playing matchmaking with me." Eve mumbled to herself shaking her head. Sometimes her grams act like a teenager just like her. And she loves her cheerful spirit towards life.

Eve followed behind her, sat on the dining table next to her grams for lunch. She was looking down towards her wiggling fingers just to avoid Grams and Evans eyes on her. Since she has arrived, She's feeling the change in her black and white life.

"Come on child join us you are not our servant. You are family now." Flora said to Evan with a genuine smile and sincere look on her face. Keeping all joke aside she thought of treating him nicely as she believes he's so young to work day and night for someone.

Evan looked towards Flora stretching his neck showing how anxious he was feeling. He looks hesitated to do what Flora asked from him. For easing his anxiety Eve smiled at him indicating him to join them without hesitancy.

Evan sat next to Flora facing Eve, "No one in my entire life treats me with respect and out of politeness, Everyone always ignored me as if I don’t even exist, and they called me their family member." His eyes were ready to shade tears of joy. "Thanks, Grandma" He wished to say much more but due to his emotional state, he managed to utter few words in his breaking voice, "Can I call you Grandma??" He pleaded with puppy dog eyes shining and waiting for flora's respond.

Flora gave him a comforting smile, her eyes soften even more “ Yes you can sweet child”.

Evan was on the cloud nine feelings blessed to get a job in such a heavenly place serving to angels. He can’t ask for anything more. “I am blessed to have them”, he thinks to himself and starts digging in his food grinning ear to ear.

Flora was peeking at Evan time to time thinking “Such a decent boy, I can read him openly. He deserved fair treatment.” and gland at Eve with a questioning look as if expecting a response from her.

Eve smiled shyly and nodded in agreement with her grams, indeed she thinks the same as her and also wondered why he was acting like a child who never receives love from others.

After finishing her meal Flora said with a straight face to make things dramatic “I am going to get some rest, you two get back in your respective rooms after finishing your meal. And Evan we need to talk in the evening.” She wanted to chat more with Evan but she was too tired to interrogate him, before leaving them alone she kissed Eve's forehead.

Evan was sitting quietly in his chair feeling uneasy again, “Am I in trouble???, I must talk to Eveleen for help, I don’t even understand what I did wrong.....” He thinks rubbing the small back of his head.

Before he can utter anything Eve respond immediately to calm him down. “You are not in trouble, Grams just want to know you better, And you wish to ask anything you just need to start talking like real talk, face to face, okay.” Eve stress on word ‘real talk and face to face'. She wants Evan to talk more rather than keep her mouth shut and think more.

Evan was red by her straightforward response, “Okay Eveleen. Promise more talking less thinking,” he said with a clumsy smile massaging his hand together.

“She’s hijacking my mind. Although it’s too cool, at least now I have someone to talk even in my silence haha haha....” he thinks while having an admirable look on his face.

She chuckled lightly to ease the awkwardness between them. “Okay than catch you later Evan, remember talking” and waved bye in his direction.

Grayson Black billionaire Greg Black's elder son, future heir of Black industries. He may be a son of a topmost ranked billionaire but he likes to keep his life low profile.

He went to Dallas a month ago to visit his Grandma and Grandpa, as his little sister was on a trip with her group of friends.

He was laying comfortably in his seat when Greyson saw a girl in a light blue hoodie looking heavenly with bright hazel eyes, with plump pink lips, and cute nose. Her light brown hairs slightly covering her forehead. She was like an angel with perfect height 5’7.

Grayson was observing her every action carefully just out of curiosity as she had a good physique as compared to other girls of her age, She must be 16 or 17 four years younger than him.

What he saw next cracked his heart, her bright eyes were dull and her rosy cheeks golden complexion now look pale. “Is she crying, But why and why I was so concerned about her...?” he thinks to himself looking distracted, he secretly peeking on her. And out of nowhere, she turns toward him watching him with inquisitiveness.

He closed his eyes instantly to avoid her glance over his face and body. That girl, God damn she looks so refreshing and cute. She took a nap but wake up terrified, her red eyes staring outside the window. She was in deep thoughts, lost in god knows what dilemma.

Somehow he was feeling sympathy towards her, he can relate with her depressed condition. He still remembers how hard it was for me to live to overcome the grief when my mother passed away six years ago.

He sighed heavily as it was the most sensitive and agonizing memory for him. “I can treat her meal for cheering her up. Anyway, it’s not like I am going to see her again.”, he thought feeling delighted by his idea.
