let's get drunk

Vera would definitely not tell a lie to herself, the dinner was kinda boring and seemed formal, ' perhaps the dinner was like that because she was there ' she thought

while Grey leads Vera upstairs she is fuming with anger because Grey didn't let her know that they were sleeping over, the fact she sees nothing bad about sleeping over but what she sees annoying is the fact he just dictate her life without informing her, this is just day one of their marriage and she's pissed off.

They both gets inside the room, the room is wide but not as wide and big as the one in Grey's house.

Grey sits down on the bed waiting for Vera to start an argument, he unbottons his shirt, dropping his jacket oñ the bed and just as he thought, he hears her nag, "Grey it isn't getting funny any longer, why do you throw things at me at the dime minute without informing? you are purposely dictating my life and it isn't getting funny, how am I suppose to cope in this marriage? Grey let's have proper discussion on how this is going to work because I don't think I can tolerate any longer" Vera finish talking expecting a reply from him but nothing, he just sits there comfortably and watch her nag, "you have to say something Grey" Vera says to Grey with her hands folded under her breast, "like??" Grey gives a short answer in form of a question still maintaining his strict face which Vera isn't scared of but sometimes scared, "you know what I am saying Grey don't play games with me" Vera says as the anger in her becomes visible, "is simple Vera you have to learn to be submissive" Grey says as he takes off his shirt slowly without breaking their eye contact, he places his hand on his belt about to take it off when Vera hurriedly holds his hand down there, Grey gives her a dirty look "what do you think you are doing? Grey" she asks Grey hoping it isn't what she is thinking, yes it's their wedding night but she isn't ready, "what do you think I am doing" Grey replies her as he smiles within him, he thought of how dirty her mind can be which made him amuse, she's dirty only from the inside, Grey smiles as he sees the embarrassment all over her face, "uhmmm" Vera says with embarrassment all over her face as she breaks their eye contact, Grey holds her chin, bringing back their intense eye contact, this eye contact made Vera understands that he is only trying to tease her, the amusement in his eyes can tell, for the first time she's seeing an emotion out in his eyes not his face though, Vera tries to stand on her feet but Grey holds her down "ummm?" Grey says this in form of a mischievous question, Vera gains her confidence back, "I am thirsty, I will go get water" Vera says as she takes Grey mannly hand off her shoulder, she gets up to take her leave but Grey holds her hand firmly stopping her from making any further movement, Vera looks at his face, it is back to normal no form of amusement in his eyes, his cold face and eyes is back again, with this face, you will definitely obey his order without a second thought but no she won't, she really wants to take a distance away from Grey for now, she wants to bring in her sanity back to normal and she can't succeed with she and Grey in a room.

Grey picks up his phone to put through a call but Vera stops him knowing fully well what he was about doing, "why disturb them, I can easily go down myself to get it" Vera says with a convincing tune and face, hoping her soft words will convince and it did.

Vera leaves the room fulfilled, she closes the door as she sighs, she won't doubt how intense that room was, she hopes that she doesn't pair a room with Grey in his house, she really wants to enjoy her privacy, Vera looks around hoping she doesn't gets lost in this mansion, she won't doubt how heavenly here looks.

Hopefully, she find her way to the kitchen, she opens the refrigerator takes a glass and filled it up with chilled water, it didn't take her minutes to gulp it down, she drops the cup gently sighing and closing her eyes as she enjoys a little bit of herself until someone interrupts, Simon.

Simon walks into the kitchen, to get himself something to eat, he didn't enjoy the dinner, his plan is to make something suitable for himself but changes his mind immediately he saw Vera inside the kitchen with her closed as she sighs loudly, "she's really cute" he thought, "Grey got himself a trophy" his inner mind tells him.

"Hey, seems like you ran out of prison" Simon says interrupting Vera's meditation, Vera opens her eyes immediately like someone caught in crime, seeing Simon she calms down, "hey, relax" she hears Simon say again, she smiles a genuine one, she really hopes she can confide in him, he's really nice and cool to be with, the little time she had a question with him, she felt free and happy a genuine one.

"you scared me" Vera says as she smiles again, "I know" he says as he takes the cup of her hand putting it where it is meant to be, Vera eyes follows his movement right from when he took the cup from her till now, he moves close to her without breaking the eye contact she started, "you should be enjoying your wedding night " Vera did not let Simon finish, she breaks off the eye contact looking down at her fingers as she plays with them, she isn't dumb not to understand what he is driving to.

"hey" Simon says as he touches her face bringing back their contact, "I told you to be free with me, I guess you can't handle my brother but not me" his words still didn't change Vera's sad facial expression, he definitely won't understand what is troubling Vera, what he said made her mind reflect on so many things especially the fact her grandma and Pearl has no idea of what is going on, she hasn't even called back despite the lot of missed calls from them, fuck her boss, she hopes he doesn't relief her from her job, she didn't take a proper permission on Friday and she hasn't even called.

"hey, I was planning on popping some popcorn for the Netflix movie I was about to watch, how about you join me" Simon says bringing up an idea hoping it clears up her my mind from whatever she's thinking.

"hmmm, nice one" she says smiling and nodding, "how about a strong alcohol" she brings up the idea of alcohol just so that she clears head for this night, she heard, it really helps.

"do you think you can take it?" Simon asks with disbelief, she doesn't look like one who drinks alcohol, "you are scared" Vera says raising her eyebrow, making it look more like a dare, Simon laughs hard and loud after hearing this because it sounds ironical how will he be scared of alcohol, "I have just the best wine for this" he says as he takes the lead out of the kitchen.
