Chapter 1: Valentine's Day
William T. Spears was working in his office (as always), but today he barely left the room. I think it's because today is Valentine's Day, he hates today, but I love it!
I sighed to myself when I saw couples today. "It's not fair!" I screamed, as I hid in my office. I wish I had someone to love me… I wish Will had the same feelings as I do for him. Tears began filling my eyes, then I heard footsteps approaching my office door. Quickly wiping my tears away, I sat in my chair, pretending to work.
It was William's footsteps, I heard just a second ago. He walked up to my desk, with paperwork in his hand.
"I just got this paperwork from my office for you, Sutcliff." He said in his usual cold voice.
"Thank you, set it on the desk..please." I said with my head a little down, with my long red hair covering my eyes. William was a little surprised to see me like this, especially on my favorite holiday.
"Sutcliff?", He questioned.
"Yes?", I replied, without lifting my head up.
"Are you feeling, alright?", He asked with some concern hidden in his voice.
"Y-yeah...I'm fine." I lied. William hesitated, but then he hugged me gently. It wasn't a friendly hug...it was a passionate hug.
"I know you aren't okay, Grell." He said. I was shocked that he said my first name, with...meaning, not in his usual cold tone. Sniffling, almost crying I replied.
"I….I just wish I had s-someone w-who loves me!" I cried, while hugging him tightly back, crying on his shoulder. He held me tighter.
"...But you do have someone who loves you….I love you Grell." He admitted. I stopped crying, though the tears were still visible.
"Y-you do?..I-I thought you hated m-me…" I said, as he wiped my tears away.
"You thought wrong." He said softly, and smiled for the first time I have seen him. I smiled back, resting my head on his chest.
"I love you too William." I said softly, when he wrapped his arms around me.
