In September

chapter 9

Louis' point of view.

I got to her apartment, i had people starring all the way till i got to her door, as a gentle man i knocked only twice, the door opened and later closed, am not wrong but this is the correct address, why did Grace close the door as if she saw a ghost, maybe she was shy. i heard the door open again and a small cracky voice.

"Hello" she said, i knew it was Allie this time. i turned to respond, she looked disorganized with her hair all over her face, she wore oversized Pajamas with different socks on. she quickly slammed the door, then it opened again.

Hey Louis? how are you. Grace said. Am alright, did i disturb you am sorry for coming unannounced, i just needed to see Allie for a while. i said. no you didn't disturb actually you just came at the wrong time, she said.

i know, its just really important i see her now please i wont do anything to hurt her.

just because i allowed you to see her doesn't mean i trust you, but you seem desperate. Come in she will be coming, she said and showed me in.

The lounge had amazing paintings hang on the wall that felt welcoming. who made that? i asked. Allie made all the paintings you see, she said.

wow! she really is talented,

is this when you are knowing, she said.

Are you being sarcastic?

yes, she smiled. oh she's here i will leave you two to talk and she left.

..

Hey am sorry to just visit without calling its really important that i see you today. i said.

Alright what is so important you couldn't wait for Monday, she asked.

The thing is i need a favor from you i know it will be sudden but you need to help me out, please i said.

i first need to know what the favor is before i agree, i don't want to die. she said.

I promised my Mother i would show her my fiancee on the twentieth of this month last year but i might have forgotten about it, then she called me this morning to remind me and i don't have a fiancee to show my mother, i explained.

And how is it my business? she asked. i need you to pretend to be my fiancee for a week, i continued.

"Why didn't you go for Tracy? she's your girlfriend anyway, she said.

Firstly she's not my girlfriend secondly my mother hates Tracy, thirdly nun of the girls i know would please my mother, lastly she thinks am gay because of my father, please i really need you to help me".

this will only be for a week right? because i honestly want nothing to do with you.she said.

Do you hate me that much? she left my question unanswered.

I removed the ring from my pocket, Allie will you marry me? i said .

why would i marry you? she finally spoke. what do you mean "why would you marry me" you know girls usually get excited and do a little scream before saying yes, i said.

If you are asking for favors, you might as well do it right. you forgot to kneel, she said.

is it necessary?

Yes it is, Grace said. sorry i couldn't help but listen, you can go on just pretend am not here.

Am going to regret this, i thought i took a knee and put a ring on her finger, we will leave tomorrow, i said.

Tomorrow? you know this information would have been useful before you talked about your mom,

Am sorry but you still need to be ready by 6, it will be a long ride, i said and left.
