《Me and You: The Beginning》33.
Advertisement
We stopped an exquisite restaurant serving Italian food.
"Wow," I said, amazed.
"Their is the best," Grayson smiled, "Reservation for two." He looked at the waiter expectantly and she showed us to our table. It was like a private booth secluded from other persons in the restaurant. Although, it didn't really have a lot of people here to start with.
"So how do you feel about the arranged marriage?" He launched right into conversation as we sat.
"I'm interested if it's with someone I love," I looked at him and he smiled.
"At least we're on the same page," he said.
"Do you have someone that you're interested in?" I raised my eyebrows.
"I'm trying not to," he sighed, "That person is sort of out of my league."
"It's hard to believe anyone is out of your league," I laughed. I think Grayson and I are going to become really good friends. He's nice and charming, but I don't get that spark that I feel when I'm with Jamie or Alex.
"Flattery will get you nowhere," he said cheekily, "What about you?"
"I ummm," I blushed. What am I supposed to say? I'm in love with two girls? How do I even say that?
"Wow," he mused, "It's that serious."
I smiled, "No, well yes. It's complicated."
"Try me," he seemed interested.
"I sort of have two girlfriends," I turned bright red, "Well we're dating but you know."
"I never would have seen that coming," he said awestruck, "What is that like?"
"It's strange at first," I admitted, "but it's like everything you can't get in one person divided. There's enough personality and energy to go around because you're receiving attention from more than one person. It's such an amazing experience honestly." Somehow, I found the words to describe exactly how I was feeling, and he understood completely.
"I have no words," he said, "Do your parents know?"

"They never know anything," I snorted, "They're always out of town. Gio knows though. How do you know him?"
"He mentored me," he smiled, "I started off in the company really young. He took me in and mentored me to be the man I am today." It warmed my heart to hear someone speak about my brother this way.
Aurora's POV
I sat down at my desk constantly thinking that someone was going to call saying that I was caught. I struggled to focus on my work but I had to try my best. I didn't want anyone to think that I was acting weird. As if I didn't have enough stress, a text came in.
The boss will meet you tonight at 6PM. Be at your house alone.
I sighed. When did my life become this complicated? I just had to go to that club.
Alex's POV
"So what's the plan for today?" I looked at Jamie who was now getting dressed.
"I have to go in for the viewing of the body. I would like to also get the programs finished for the service."
"What do you need me to do?" I asked.
"You can come with me," she smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist.
"I'd love to," I placed a kiss on her lips. As much as I wanted to continue, I didn't want to push Jamie too much. I know she doesn't want to deal with this, but she has to.
"Alright let's go," she said quietly. We hopped into her car and headed to the morgue. I thought about Gina. I wonder how her date was going? I hope she didn't fall in love with him. What will her family do if she doesn't marry the guy?
"Are you okay?" Jamie broke my train of thought.
"Yeah," I mumbled, "I was just thinking about what Gina's parents would do if she doesn't accept the marriage."

"I've been thinking about it too," she agreed, "She can always live with me."
"I guess," I said, "but isn't that too soon? What if we don't work out?"
"Well I won't leave her stranded," Jamie smiled, "I'd just make her pay rent or something. I mean if we break up it has to be something pretty serious."
"We're only dating though Jamie," I said, "Don't you think we're all moving too fast?"
"Well I don't think so," she disagreed, "This is a unique situation. I think it seems that way because of all the sex." She's right. As girls in a relationship, yes sex is important and sacred to us as well, but we tend to do it often because there's little to no risk. It's just so much easier to completely give yourself to a girl. Every touch is so much more sensational. That being said, Gina, Jamie and I have been taking time to get to know each other despite the odd circumstances that we're in.
"We're here," Jamie said. We headed into the morgue and Jamie gave her name and her mother's name.
"Will it be the both of you?" The mortician asked. Jamie looked at me and I nodded. I needed to be there to support her. We entered and the place had this gut-wrenching feeling. I mean it would because of the nature of the environment. The mortician removed the white layer from the body and tears immediately welled up in Jamie's eyes. I reached out to hug her and sobbed into my arms.
"That's her," I said to the mortician.
"I'll give you two a moment," he said.
"It's okay, Jamie," I rubbed her head gently. She continued to sob quietly and I let her. She hasn't been letting out these emotions so I'm sure it must have been pent up inside of her.
Gina was simply amazing. I got the feeling that she and I would be good friends.
"So why aren't these two girls your girlfriend yet?" I looked at her.
"I haven't found a way to ask them yet," she sighed.
"A grand gesture seems suitable," I suggested.
"I know," she mused, "but I can't think of what grand gesture I should actually do."
"Have you ever done any before?" I smiled.
"No," she sulked, "but clearly you have."
"Gio has done a ton for Gianna," I grimaced, "He is too in love." She laughed.
"He really is," she smiled, "So what's your ideas?"
"We just need to go to my dad's so that I can get some pictures of my mom for the program," I said quietly and Alex nodded. Seeing my mom today really made me realize that she was really gone. I put it on the back burner, thinking it was false news, but she really was dead. Her body was proof of that today.
"I'm here for you," Alex placed her hand on my thigh. We arrived at my dad's and we got out of the car.
"I wonder why he's home," I murmured. I opened the door. It wasn't even locked. I entered with Alex right behind me.
"Dad?" I called. No answer.
"What the fuck is that disgusting smell?" Alex plugged her nose. She was right. The place smelled like something died. Oh no. I ran upstairs to my parent's bedroom.
I let out a blood curling scream.
I've been waiting patiently at work unt I'l l the time passed. I was anxious to meet this person and it was finally 5:59 PM. I got home from work and showered. The door opened and there stood before me, a man and a woman in a mesh mask, concealing their faces.
"Hello Tracy," the man said.
Only one person in the entire world knew my real name.
