Glorious Chapter one:
*Penelope's pov:
"Henry please don't leave!" I pleaded.
I am certainly not going to just let him walk out after all that work? I don't think so; I am going to do everything in my power to make sure he stays, even if that meant faking a pregnancy.
"Penelope, I'm done with you and your games. I'm leaving for Vietnam, so I never have to deal with you ever again."
"Henry, sweetheart but you can't leave me…. You can't leave us." Now I was laying it on thick, I should have received some kind of trophy for this!
"We both know your not pregnant, you can't be. This is just another one of you schemes, well so sorry to tell you dear but it's not going to work this time. I'm gone."
"Just wait a little while longer, until I go to the doctor and prove to you that your baby is growing inside me!" Ha! That has got to do something right? I mean he isn't a completely heartless bastard.
"You are such a bitch! Fine I'm giving you a month if you can't prove it to me that you are pregnant then I'm gone!" His words were like acid! But no one can say no to Penelope Hayes! Now I just have to actually get pregnant, or maybe after a little time together he will forget all about the military, and Diana Holland for that matter.
"Diana Holland, will you marry me?" no, no that's not right. "Diana Holland, will you do me the honor of being my bride?" maybe let's try this one more time. "Miss Diana Holland, I promise to love you with all of my being for the rest of you life, and I hoped you would like to grow old together with_" "Grayson? What on earth are you doing standing on my door step?"
"Uh, um Diana will you do me the honor of being my wife?"
"Grayson, are you serious? This isn't a trick hatched up by your sister is it?"
" NO! no it's, I mean I I would really like to marry you Diana, I will provide for you and be a loving husband. I promise I love you forever. You are the only girl I have ever felt this way about before, and I do you want to marry me?" God I sound like a blubbering idiot!
" Grayson I,I....I got to go I was supposed to meet my sister for lunch, I'm late!"
"Well at least let my driver take you?"
" No thank you, that will not be necessary."
"Well I will call on you tomorrow for your answer then?"
"Uh yes that would be fine."
Wow ok I actually did that. And she didn't laugh at me, or say no. It's not a yes, but not a no!
