William made his way to the flats where Grell lived carrying his small suitcase. He looked at the building moving closer to close his umbrella. He had on his casual chocolate suit and long black coat he didn't want to ruin with the rain. He marched his way up to the third level, resting his suitcase by the door. Knocking on the door a couple of times, he waited for a response.
Grell opened the door giving him a pleasant smile. She looked beautiful as always. She wore red and black plaid dress with knee-high black boots. Her hair done in a mermaid braid. She noticed the umbrella in his hand gasping.
"Hello there William. I guess it's raining today? I'll grab my umbrella." She allowed him inside with her hearing the meows of the cats in their kennels. He squatted down reaching out in front of the mesh side. Helen pressed her head against it to touch his hand. He smiled seeing her affection.
Grell back in the room holding a rather large umbrella. "It'll be big enough to cover the three of us. If you would be so kind as to carry my bag?" She gave a playful pout pleading with him.
He got up onto his feet holding his hand out. He was surprised to see her only having one piece of luggage. Once he held it, he understood why. It was heavy with her and her cats things.
She picked up the cats following behind William as they made their way to the train station. Once they got to their seats, she sat down looking out the window. He sat across from her, staring at her.
He licked his lips resting on the seat. Her eyes glanced back at him giving a smile. "Are you excited to go back home?" He snapped out of it looking at.
"Of course. I want to enjoy a good evening at home with my birds and a good book." He conveniently left out the part with him almost finishing half a bottle of his favorite Scotch that he would also enjoy.
Grabbing her phone, she sent out a text to Alan and her parents, letting them know she was on board. Her eyes met his, she could tell that he was staring at her almost admiring her. Her eyes quickly fash back down onto her hands keeping her gaze away from his.
He cleared his throat making sure to keep his focus on where it needed to be. Pulling out his own phone he quickly messaged Eric as well as Ronald making sure that both of them knew that they were already on the train. Quick replies were exchanged letting them know that everything was set up and that they were expecting them as soon as they arrived.
"So tell me about yourself William? What kind of a man are you, what do you do aside from working with Mr. Slingby?" Her eyebrows raised looking at him as her arms crossed trying to keep her own focus away from his gaze.
He straightened up his back making sure to keep the same stoic face he had before. "I am a very simple man who graduated with a degree in medical science. However, my interest seem to Peak when I met Mr. Slingby. His ear for talent was something amazing and I made friends with him, and helped him begin his small establishment that later grew into what is now his talent agency."
"Medical science? I'm guessing you were trying to become a doctor?" She looked at him with pure intrigue as she un crossed her arms. A small glow of pride could be seen from his face as he leaned forward. "Yes I was actually trying to become a neurologist. But, that's what my parents wanted me to be. They wanted me to follow in their footsteps, making sure that I did well for myself."
He thought about his parents knowing when he relayed the news of his new occupation. He knew that they weren't the happiest. He waved it off his mind looking back into her matching emerald eyes. "My father is a pediatrician. My mother is actually a head nurse. I guess you could say dealing with medical studies runs in the family."
"It must be nice to be able to see things like that. My mother owns a small antique shop. As for my father who was once a great surgeon, decided to retire from that life and become a mortician."
His eyes widen looking at her face structure. It was almost as if she had a little bit of Venom per word as her sentence went on. "They keep telling me that they want me to live a good life. That my dream chasing would only lead to my fall."
"I think that you decided to chase your dream was good. Look at where it's getting you now. Before you know it, we'll be teaching the best ways to be able to sing. You'll go on to perform at Grand Halls, maybe even before the Queen herself."
"That would be nice. I would love to see the look on my parents faces when I get to so that." The dreamy look on her face made his heart skip a beat. 'Damn it, not again. You can't let everything she does affect you like this.'
The train began to move allowing them to start their long journey. She fell asleep within the first hour while William took out his laptop to finish some paperwork. He glanced over at her every so often to check on her.
His phone began to ring with Eric's name highlighted across the screen. He sighed picking up the phone hearing that his employer was already exhausted. "Glad to hear that you guys are on your way. How's she doing?"
"She's asleep right now Eric. Seems like she might have been up all night. It looks like by the way she just passed out." He held the phone loosely as he kept his focus on the lady before him.
"She's beautiful ain't she Spears? I think she is the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Do you think she's going to be too distracting for us?" William couldn't tell if he was asking him the question, or asking himself.
"I honestly don't think she'll be a problem for us. If anything, I think she'll bring life to our establishment." His eyes moved across her form as he spoke seeing the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed softly in her sleep. He couldn't help but blush as his eyes rested upon her breasts.
The Scotsman laughed hearing the sudden quietness in his voice. "You're right about that Spears. I can also tell that you've grown quite fond of her in these couple of days. I'll have to make sure to keep you two away from each other." He left again making sure to tease the stoic man as best he could.
"That won't be necessary Eric. I am quite professional and you know it. If anything it's just my boyish hormones that are going out of whack. I just think that I haven't found anyone and such a long time that my body jumps to the first person that I find attractive."
Grell turned over in her sleep having her braid move off her shoulder, exposing more of her neck. William cover his mouth knowing that more skin made him a little weak in the knees.
"Other than that, I was just making sure that you two were doing fine. Just please make sure to keep me posted as soon as you guys arrive. Or at least if you can, make sure to call me within the last half hour before you get here so I can send one of our personal cars."
" Of course Eric. I'll see you when we get there." He hung up going back to his screen. Grell woke up seeing a sudden shake. Her eyes met William's making her smile. "I hope I didn't bother you. We have arrived."
She stretched looking out at the platform. "Have I really been sleeping this whole time?" A pout crossed her lips getting up with his help. "I really wanted to see the change of scenery as it went by."
"It's fine Grell. Perhaps we could take you on a proper tour of Scotland later on." He walked out with her to collect their bags. As soon as her cats spotted her they started meowing loudly for her attention.
She smiled brightly picking them up. "Oh my sweet babies! Did you miss me that much?" She cooed over them letting them calm down.
William walked closer to her tapping her shoulder. She turned around giving him the okay for their leave. They approached an expensive looking look having their things loaded in. He turned to her looking at the cats. "Do you want them with you or in the back?"
She held them closer to her looking at the car. "Of course I want them with me." She smiled as he opened the door for them letting them in. He sat next to her as they drove off.
He watched her carefully as her eyes widened in wonderment. The giant smile on her lips made his own appear. His eyes staying focused on her wanting to reach out and grab her attention.
She turned around looking him in the eyes as if she knew. His eyes widened as her cheeks blushed. "Do I have something in my hair Mr. Spears?" Her voice being soft, almost a whisper.
He quickly shook his head trying to keep from his face from turning pink. "It's nothing Ms. Sutcliffe. I was just noticing your childlike wonder." He smiled thinking of his perfect excuse.
She giggled resting her hand on his. "That's quite flattering. I just love seeing how beautiful it is here. It's lovely." She let go if his hand crossing her legs. She went back to looking out the window cooing at the scenery.
He smiled feeling the warmth still lingering on his skin. He took his phone out texting Eric that they were almost at the hotel. His boss messaged back his instructions for checking her in.
The young lady at the front desk of the hotel typed into her computer listening to the man in front of her flirting heavily with her.
The blonde man ran his finger through his hair giving her a wink. "What do you say? Dinner and a show would be an extraordinary evening with me. May I have your number?"
The girl giggled nervously pointing at her hand. "Sorry Mr. Chambers but I'm taken. My husband wouldn't like me going out with other men." She smiled seeing the grin drop from his face.
"That's a pity. Lucky him to have found such a lovely creature before myself." He turned his head when he hear clicking coming for high heels. His jaw dropped seeing the beautiful redhead walking in.
Grell walked to the desk with William at her side. He leaned over pulling out his phone. "We have a reservation under Eric Slingby for Grell Sutcliffe. " He moved closer to her seeing the other man eyeing her.
Aleistor rested his arm on the counter looking at her. "Aren't you just divine. It's an honour to meet such a beautiful creature." He took her hand kissing it gently.
She giggled taking the compliment. "Charmed I'm sure." William glared at the blond as their eyes met. He blew him off bringing his attention back to Grell.
"Tell me my dear, how long will you be staying here? Maybe we can have dinner or an evening out together?"
William quickly took the keys from the young woman tapping Grell's shoulder. "We have your things. Let's go so you can let your babies out."
She nodded looking. She nodded looking back the man before her. "Do forgive me for leaving so suddenly. Maybe we'll meet again." She waved to him goodbye leaving with her cats staring at him.
He leaned against the counter looking at the young girl. "Can you tell me which room that young lady will be staying in?" Desperation could be faintly heard in his voice.
"I'm sorry Mr. Chambers. We're not allowed to disclose such information." The girl finished up his check-in process. "Have a good say sir."
He grabbed the keys from her and walked up to the elevator seeing the floor it stopped on. A toothy grin plastered onto his face. 'I plan to find you my dear vixen. I always get my prey.'
