Disclaimer: I do not own the sisters Grimm
Henry gaped at the blonde, but when she turned her head, it was clear that she had light brown eyes, no freckles and a scowl.
Henry let out a sigh of relief. Henry wouldn't have been able to take it if the girl he loved had appeared in New York too.
He still loved Goldilocks, and he was trying to get over the way her freckled, sun tanned nose would scrunch up when she laughed, the way her eyes glinted with brightness and happiness whenever Henry gave her a present or a kiss.
He didn't fully blame Goldilocks for his father's death. But whenever he would look at her, Henry was sure he would see his father's death flash before his eyes instead of her face. And he couldn't live with that.
To think he was just days away from popping the marriage question. He still had the ring tucked away in his suitcase.
Operation Get- over- Goldilocks was so not going well.
"Yo, I'm 'leavin to look for some good apartments. Do you know any, man?" Henry said, trying to get used to what he thought was New Yorkie talk.
The man who sat at the lobby desk, for the hotel, sighed. "Yes, sir. Down the street."
"Thanks, bro."
Henry walked out of the hotel and scowled at the bicycler who almost hit him. Henry was sure he was the same one who sent him the finger before.
He walked down the street, while gazing In awe at the tall buildings surrounding him. He took notes again of the restaurants and cafè's he wanted to visit.
He also took note of the 'job wanted' signs.
Henry entered the building that he was pretty sure the Hotel guy was talking about. He asked the man standing by the doors about the main office, and the man gave him a set of directions.
Henry nodded and said thanks in His supposed New Yorkie slang and then went inside.
"Hello mister, what can I do for you?" The manager asked. Henry frowned. Everyone he had met so far was speaking formally. Maybe it was because of his job..?
"Well, man, I would like an apartment." Henry said. "Okay. Well, how many bedrooms?"
The manager had left early, and Henry walked down the hall of the eleventh floor, towards the elevator.
While he waited, his phone began to ring. He saw his mother's name flashing on the screen and he flipped his phone open.
"Henry, dear! Guess what I found out? King Oberon and Queen Tatiana live in New York City! You should pay them a visit!"
Henry groaned as he entered the elevator. He punched the first floor's button And spoke-
"Mom, I don't want to deal with or think of Everafters right now! And we know the fairies-"
The elevator doors opened and a brunette came barreling in. She ran into Henry, who slipped and she fell right on Top of him.
Henry, who was not in a good mood, cried, "Get off me, you crazy psycho lady!"
The brunette lifted her head, and Henry glared at her, trying not to be affected by her looks.
She was beautiful, the kind that came naturally with no makeup. Her nose wrinkled up and she scrambled off of him, mumbled a sorry, and then ignored him for the rest of the elevator ride, with burning cheeks.
Henry picked his phone up, and clicked the the 'end' button.
Henry got off on the fourth floor, unable to take the weird silence anymore. He took the stairs to the first floor and burst out of the doors with a relieved sigh.
The apartment in that building was pretty neat, and Henry planned on staying there. He hoped he wouldn't meet that hyper yet gorgeous brunette again, and also hoped that she was there on a visit.
Boy, was he wrong.
Henry walked into a restaurant he thought looked okay after he had called his mom back. The name was J'aime. But when he entered, all he could think about was Goldi. Her French was fluent and she loves French restaurants. She thought they were c'est magnifique.
Or at least that's what Henry thinks she said.
He squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't avoid French restaurants or French just because of Goldilocks, that would make him weak.
Plus, maybe it would help him get over her faster.
He entered, and looked around the room. He found a corner, well hidden from sight.
He slipped into the booth, and raised the menu over his face. He grinned behind the movie when he realized he was acting mysterious like him and Jake used to do.
Before their father died, of course.
Henry's smile slipped into a frown, and he ordered a steak. The waiter nodded and left, while Henry was left pondering about whether or not to call Jake.
He remembered talking to his mother a few minutes before,
"Hank! What happened?" Relda asked.
"Just bumped into someone in the elevator." Henry replied.
"Well, as I was saying-"
"Mom, I don't want to visit the fairies. We both knew they're wicked and cruel."
"Hmph. I would like-"
"No, mom, I don't want to see them!"
"Stop interrupting me, young man. I understand, fine, don't see them. But I was saying that I would like you to talk to Jake."
"This again? Mom, I don't wanna." Henry whined.
Relda tsked over the phone. "You both are acting immature."
"He could call me!"
Relda sighed. "Please call him, Henry. For your father."
Henry bit his lip, and nodded even if his mother couldn't see him.
"Okay."
He had promised. Okay, not exactly promised but... Still.
Henry dug into his steak which had appeared a few moments ago with a smile and a wink from a waitress.
He quickly left the restaurant and headed towards the hotel, deciding against sight- seeing for the day.
Henry stared at the closed coffin in front of him. His father laid inside, some parts of him missing.
Henry's eyes filled with tears, and he looked around. The Everafters that were the closest to the Grimms, Snow White, Mr. Canis and many more had shown up.
His mother was crying beside him, and she waved off anyone who tried to comfort her.
The only person that wasn't there was Jake.
Henry felt disappointment growing inside of him. Jake had said that he was going to be there, of course, it was their father's funeral!
Had he cowered out?
Just then, Jake walked into the midst of people, and Henry smiled.
Hi! That last bit was just a memory...
It's so hard writing in a mans POV though! It took me a week to write this short chap.
Any mistakes? Anything that you don't like or do like? Then write it down in the reviews!
(Ugh, I feel like a teacher)
Bye :)
