Mia's P.O.V
It was five o'clock when my alarm rang. I got up and turn it off before going to take a shower. I already packed my bags last night meaning that I have plenty of time to get ready.
At 5:50 a.m. I was ready and waited for Jacob to come out from his room. He came out exactly at six and carried my luggage without saying a word.
'As if I wanted to talk to him' I thought.
After a few minutes we were on the road. As Jacob said it was a two hour drive we will be just on time to eat breakfast. 'Two hours in the same car as Jacob', great that was what I needed to start my one week of vacations even if it’s with Jacob's grandmother so what? She is an old woman and don't know anything about my hatred for his grandson. I just hope that she is not like the other rich grandmothers like in the films they show us.
After 2 hours: Still in Mia's P.O.V
We arrive at his grandmother's house. I was surprised when I saw that it was not a mansion. I was like expecting a mansion with cars lining in front of the house, security cameras everywhere and guards glaring at me... but here it was a small house. I think it is two to three bedrooms.
'But what would I call her?' I thought.
"Just call her Sonia; that's her name", Jacob told me.
"What?" I replied not understanding what he was talking about.
"My grandmother, call her Sonia", He told me once again while removing our luggage more like mine.
"Ok. Don't you have any luggage?" I asked him when I saw that he was carrying only mine.
"No, I have clothes here." He told me.

"Oh". I said.
Just then the door opened a small woman with grey hair appeared. She shouted 'Jacob' and walked to him and hugged him.
'Aww It was nice seeing Jacob like this' I thought.
Just then she suddenly turned to me and put her hand forward and said:
"Hi, I'm Sonia; Jacob's grandmother."
I replied shyly: "Hi. I'm Mia; Jacob's...."
She interrupt me and said "girlfriend, I know."
Both Jacob and I turned to her and stared at her.
"What? I'm right, right?" She asked.
"No she's my secretary and I brought her along or else she would have to stay alone and she's also not familiar with this city." Jacob told her.
"Oh but I thought that you were bringing your girlfriend with you when you said you were bringing someone with you. And you did not even tell me who you were bringing." She said in one breath.
'Wow for an old woman she do have a lot of energy.' I thought.
"But you did not even let me finish my phrase when we were talking. I was going to say 'my secretary' when you asked me question like 'Is it a girl?' and when I said 'yes', you hung up saying that you have a lot to do!" Jacob said in one breath too.
I laughed at them. They both turned to me and glared and said
"What?”
I became speechless and my eyes became wide. I did not know what to say.
"Uhhh...."
They both laughed at me. Then Sonia told me that they were joking. It's in their nature to do so.
"Come in, I'm sure you are hungry" She said.
The moment I entered the house I felt comfortable at once. I was surprised as I always have this problem of not being able to adapt and have to return home after one day only.

After we ate breakfast we went in the living room to talk. I learned a lot of things on her and Jacob too and they also learned a lot of things on me.
She asked me a lot of personal questions such as 'do you love someone or what's your age...’
I did not hesitate in answering him as I did not mind her asking me these questions. When I saw Jacob glaring at her, I told him that it was ok. Even Jacob listened to everything I said.
The night came quick and it was already time to go to bed.
"Can you show me my room?" I asked Jacob.
He rubbed his neck and said:
"About that we will share the room because my grandmother doesn’t have a guest room and she thought you were my girlfriend and we would share the room as any normal couple do and she already made the arrangements.” He said not letting me interrupt him once.
"Are we like going to sleep on the same bed?" I asked him.
"No, I'm going to sleep on the couch but in the same room." He said.
"Ok then." I replied.
He looked at me with wide eyes.
"What". I said getting irritated.
"I thought you were going to say that 'no it's your bed so you sleep on it and you will take the couch.' “He told me.
I hit his shoulder and laugh.
"No I won't say that because I know that you will refuse and will say that you are a girl and you take the bed and you will give me your 'don't you dare refuse' look and I will accept." I told him.
He laughed, actually laughed not the forced one.
After one week:
Mia's P.O.V
I was watching the T.V even if I was unable to concentrate. Every time my thoughts would go back to the time I spent with Jacob at his grandmother's place. She is a nice woman and cares a lot for him. She even let me call her grandmother and I helped her cooking and learn new recipes. I even helped her plant some vegetables and some flowers.
Jacob and I became friends. Surprising right! I was also surprised when he talked to me nicely not the way he does in the office. Even though he came to sleep next to me but did not cross his limits. He stayed in his place and even put a barrier of drapes between us.
I learn a lot on him such as his parents died in a plane crash when he was 16 years old and he stayed with his grandmother till the age of 20. His parents never had time for him and they were always working. He became a billionaire at the age of 24. He is now 26 years old and his birthday is the same as mine on the 29th of October. He even told me that he was engaged two years ago with a woman who later cheated on her with his boss and from that day he swore to become richer than him and he was successful in doing so.
I also told him about my life. We had a lot of things in common. My parents also died in an accident but in a car crash. We were born on the same date but different year.
Everything was fine between Jacob and me. We were like old friends. I hope we remain like this forever.
