Chapter 6:
Will found himself helping Grell a lot more, which didn't go unnoticed by his subordinates. She was getting weaker very fast due to her disease, but the medication she was on kept her like herself. Will was sure that she was going to be just fine. He had moved her desk into his office so he could keep a closer eye on her, which also didn't go unnoticed by his subordinates. Ronald was first to notice the changes, but Eric wasn't far behind.
"What do you think is happening between them?" Ronald asked as he watched Grell walk out of the office. She looked a lot more pale than usual, and definitely wasn't wearing as much make up. She wasn't walking with the light skip that she usually had, and this worried them.
"Maybe every time she goes in there they shag and that is why she's so pale and not so light on her feet. She's sore." Eric suggested.
"No that won't be it. Since what happened with that demon I doubt Grell would be so fast as to let a guy touch her in them areas." Ronald said.
"Yeah well I wouldn't blame them if they were. I mean I'd definitely have a go with that ass" Eric whistled as Grell walked past them. She looked at him and slapped him across the face.
"No" she said.
"Um Grell…. What is happening between you and Mr Spears?" Ronald asked. He was hoping that he hadn't offended her by being too blunt.
"What do you mean?" She asked confused. Ronald smiled at how cute she was when she was confused.
"Well when you're with Mr Spears, What do you do?" Eric asked. He was hoping they were doing something fun, but he was disappointed to get the answer "work." Grell walked off to go make her and Will some coffee. "Do you believe that Ron?" Eric asked. Ronald shrugged.
"If something was going on between them, Grell is the type of person who would spill the news instantly. I honestly don't know if something is happening between them" Ronald answered. "Maybe we should just wait and see what happens." Eric agreed and the two of them decided to go back to work before Will punished them both. Ronald couldn't afford for his pay check to be docked any more than it already was.
Grell walked back to hers and Will's office and placed his cup of coffee on his desk. She smiled lightly then sat down at her desk to work. Will watched her and then looked back down at his own work.
"Feeling okay?" He asked noticing her paleness.
"Always darling." She answered then they went back to working in an uncomfortable silence. "You?" She asked, breaking the sound of nothingness.
"Yes" he answered her question. Silence invaded the room again. It was awful and was driving Grell crazy. She stood up and walked to Will, before planting herself on his lap. He looked at her, kind of upset she had distracted him from his mountain of paperwork that he "loved" to do.
"Willy, how long are you going to deny your feelings for me?" She cooed. He sighed and put his pen down.
"And what feelings are they?"
"L.O.V.E" she spelled out and he sighed again. He placed his hands gently on her waist.
"What makes you think that I am in love with you?" He asked, "I merely feel sorry for you and guilty that you are ill." A whisper came from outside the room, but neither Will nor Grell noticed it.
"I love you" she said looking down. Will lifted her chin with his thumb and forefinger, making her look at him.
"I know" he whispered. He wanted to place a kiss on her lips. He was about to, until he remembered how much pain he had caused her. She looked disappointed so she was bold enough to make the first move. She kissed him lightly but then there was a knock at the door before Will could kiss back. Grell sighed and went back to her own desk. "Come in" Will said aloud. Alan walked in carrying paperwork. Grell muttered something about Alan being a massive cockblock as he handed Will both his and Eric's paperwork from today.
Grell walked home that night, looking like a school girl. She had a bag with a load of extra paperwork in it. She was supposed to be walking home with Ronald, but he was being very annoying to her. She got grabbed by someone and instantly pulled out her death scythe in panic. Once again it had been William who had been behind her.
"Where is Knox?" He asked looking around.
"He was annoying me, so I gave him the slip" Will sighed at her response.
"I owe you an apology" William frowned. "I feel as though I have been misleading you into thinking I am in love with you."
"Oh Will darling, I know you are in love with me, you haven't mislead me." She said and smiled. He shook his head. "Now how about we finish that kiss from earlier?" William took her hand and dodged the incoming kiss.
"No Grell. I don't love you. I merely feel guilt towards you."
"No Will, you do love me. The sooner you figure that out, the better" she stormed off and ran home. She locked the door and sunk down. Her heart ached. She wanted to cry. Will was banging on the door trying to get her to let him in. Should she let him in? "If I let you in now, you are going to admit you love me then take advantage of me on the couch. If that isn't going to happen then you can walk away now." She stood her ground. 'Did I really just ask Will for sex?' She asked herself mentally. She unlocked the door and he walked in. 'Guess dreams really do come true.' She thought to herself before he leaned down and they shared a very long, passionate kiss.
