Grayson And Love |Grayson Dolan|

24: veils

I twisted my engagement ring on my finger as I waited for him to accept my face time.

"hey... Ava!" Grayson said as he accepted my call, "how is the good old England?" he asked in a fake British accent,

I shook my head as I laughed, "good try..." I laughed some more, "I'm doing great," I exclaim to him, "how about you?"

"brilliant... now that you're in my view," he said with a smirk,

"oh!" I exclaimed as I acted like I was throwing up, "the cringe!" I said covering my ears,
"It wasn't that bad..." he pouted,

"nah, it was cute," I smiled to him,

"yay," he smiled back,

"is it bad that I miss you already and I've only been gone for a day?" I asked,

"not at all... I woke up this morning expecting to see you there and I was pretty sad to be honest," he admitted,

"aww... did my baby boy feel alone?" I asked him in the 'talking to babies' voice,

"yeah," he pouted to me and then smiled at me,

"have I ever told you that you have a nice smile?" I asked,

"only all the time," he said back to me,

"well, I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it," I said shrugging, "to be honest, I didn't think you would even be awake right now,"

"I didn't either," he said, "I didn't even shower or anything and then my phone rang and it was you and I was like 'yes!'" he said as he fist-bumped the air with both hands,

my mum walked into the living room where I was sitting talking to Grayson,

"hey mum," I said to her, "get anything nice at the shops?" I asked her,

"I picked up the veil-" she started before I started to do the distracting 'lalala' singing,

"one minute Gray," I said as I muted the call,

"you picked up the veil?" I asked her as she pulled it out of the bag to show the long tulle cut edge with a lace trim veil.

Gorgeous.

"I love it!" I exclaimed as she put it back into the bag, "I'll try it all on later,"

I unmuted Grayson as my mum placed the bag on the counter top and came to sit back into the living room to watch TV,

"let me put my headphones in," I said as I grabbed them off of the coffee table and plugged them in, "that's better,"

"so... veil huh?" Grayson grinned,

"veil?" I asked as if I had no idea what he was talking about,

"no veil?" he asked me again,

"no veil..." I said shrugging,

"that's a shame... something needs to cover up your face," he laughed and I gasped,

"what?" my mum asked,

"Grayson called me ugly," I said as pouted to her,

"I'm joking!" he said to me and continued laughing,

"you're lucky because I was about to call off the wedding," I said laughing as well,

I heard noise in the background which assumed was Ethan until I saw Lauren walk into frame,

"Lauren's there?" I asked him,

"oh yeah... she's just going to help me out with a few bits later on," he said nodding and I could feel an awkward tension between us,

"you know what we need?" I asked him,
"what do we need Ava?" he asked as he leant his elbows on a table and perched his head on his hands,

"New Jersey," I said smiling,

"I agree!" he exclaimed "Ethan?" he shouted out, "wanna' go to New Jersey with Ava?"

"hell yeah!" Ethan shouted back,

"when do you want to go?" Grayson asked me,
"I don't mind... we could go before we go to Paris," I suggested, "I mean... I did get two weeks booked off for the trip and it's a week-long so there's a free week there..."

"sounds good," he nodded,

"and, it's easier now because I don't work on Mondays or Fridays..." I threw in there,

"you don't?" he asked, "since when?" he smiled,

"a week ago," I recalled,

"yay! We can go on weekend trips now!" he said happily,

I smiled to him as he grinned and smiled at me.

What did I ever do to deserve him?"

this chapter is pretty much just a conversation between Ava and Grayson but i feel like it's pretty valuable and simplistic. could be my current favourite chapter...
