Chapter 48: Indigo

I walk into the cafe and look around for a certain blonde ray of sunshine, Bea waves at me from the other side of the cozy coffee hut and I walk towards her smiling at her enthusiasm and also wondering why she's always so happy.

When I reach the table I sit in the booth across from her and she sends me a huge dimpled smile that I feel insecure to return because I know mine won't look half as genuine as hers. Gotta Love the trust issues.

"Hey indigo!" She greets and tucks a golden piece of hair behind her pierced ears that hold a very small golden bee on each lobe.

"Hi Bea, how have you been?" I ask her and she begins to tell me about her day and how she helped an old man cross the street with his dog. I shouldn't be compatible with a friend like this but I can't help smiling every time she rambles on about something new.

"How long have you and Greyson been dating?" She asks and stirs her coffee, I'm not sure if someone like her should be drinking that much caffeine but I let it slide and answer her question.

"3 years" I tell her smoothly "and engaged" I add and she smiles like a lunatic at the last part of my sentence.

"I wish Mav would propose to me, we've been dating for 2 whole years and I still don't have a ring on my finger. Sometimes I think that he doesn't really like me that much, but then I remember that he's just really grumpy and never smiles around people who aren't me" she rattles and I nod at her little rant.

"So what do you and grey do for a living" she asks and I think of a quick and easy lie.

"Business owners" I inform her and she nods her head at me.

"Figures, you guys give me that energy"

"What energy?" I ask confused and she grins at me.

"You know, the cool power couple ordeal, when you walk into the room women want to be you or kill you" she says and I laugh at her.

"What about you and Mav?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"I work at the local book store and Mav does things" she says and I narrow my eyes at her in question to what these so called things might be.

"He's an illegal racer, like car racer, I'm not supposed to say that, are you the cops? Do you know the cops? Am I a cop?" She rushes out panicked and my eyebrows raise at her small melt down.

"If it makes you feel better I kill people" where did that come from indigo...? Control yourself.

"I know" she says and smiles at me with mischievous eyes.

"Mav told me so that I'd be safe, he knows you and Greyson and he knows what you do for a living, he gave me this can of pepper spray but I told him not to worry because your my new friend" she tells me and I nod my head slowly at all the information she's relaying in a very short space of time with near to no breaths.

Just then my phone rings and I pick it up, a picture of Oakley flashes on the screen and I roll my eyes.

"What?" I answer and some shuffling is heard at the other end of the line before oaks speaks.

"Do you know where my lucky sock is?" What?

"No? I wasn't even aware you had a lucky sock" I tell him and he sighs.

I am fully aware he has a lucky sock and it's the most fucking disgusting thing on this planet.

"I need my lucky sock, Matt just challenged me to a competition on who could eat their cereal fastest and I was all like I've got this in the bag but then Sophie heard and I can't beat her. Have you seen the thing eat, she's like a human vacuum. One time last week I left my popcorn on the side for 2 minutes and when I returned, the only trace of evidence that it had ever been there was the bowl, which I'm pretty sure she licked clean" he finishes and i furrow my eyebrows at my older brother an image pops into my head and I cringe.

"It wasn't a green one with pink stars....like super ugly and dirty?" I ask and pray that he doesn't say it is.

I know it is.

"That's the one" he confirms and i grimace.

Tell the truth or lie

Tell the truth......or lie

"Grey took it and threw it in the bin" lie

"I'm sorry he did what?" Oakleys gasps and I scratch my neck.

"I know, I have absolutely no idea why he would do such a thing" I say and Bea looks at me with question, I shake my head and roll my eyes.

"You know I've had enough of him, I'm calling him right now-"

"Hey think rationally about this don't make any rushed decisions, you might regret them later" I try to stop him from calling grey but my efforts are wasted.

"Nope I won't regret it, I'm going to call him now" shit.

Oakley hangs up and I look at Bea, she smiles at me and finishes her coffee. A notification pops up on her phone and I look at her.

"I'm so sorry indi, I have to go someone's Ill at the store and they need a replacement to take over the shift, but we should meet up and have a double date?" I nod at her and we hug. She squeezes me and rushes out.

My phone rings and I bite my lip knowing what it's going to be about. I answer it and hold the phone away from my earshot.

"WHY! WHY DID YOU TELL OAKLEY THAT I THREW HIS FUCKING SOCK AWAY!" oh dear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk into greys office building and smile at the receptionist who gives me a bitchy grin followed by a slight eye twitch.

I walk over to the elevator and get in, it goes up to greys office and the door pings open revealing a pissed off grey leaning against the wall waiting for me.

"I literally saw you give the sock to pepper in her enclosure before we left a couple of days ago, now Oakley won't talk to me and he's blaming me for loosing some fucking cereal competition" he sneers at me and I smile at him.

"Let's not fight amore mio" (my love) I say and walk over to him, placing a kiss on his lips and walking over to his spinney chair.

I spin In it but greys tattooed arm grabs the back and he spins it so I'm facing him. I nod and sigh.

"Jesus alright! It was me and I'm sorry I told Oakley it was you"

"It's not me you have to apologize to" This bitch-

I pick up my phone and dial Oakleys number, I wait for him to pick up but when he answers I panic and say the first thing I can think of.

"It was Ollie, I watched him put the sock down the food disposal" what is wrong with me?

"That little shit....I'll be seeing you indigo I've got matters to handle" Oakley says and hangs up the phone.

"You have a problem" grey says and I spin in the chair.

"You're my problem" i mutter and grey scoffs at me and walks towards the elevator.

"Where are you going?" I ask and he waves at me as the doors ping and begin to shut.

"To tell Oakley the truth"

"cazzo, torna indietro, non osare" (you fuck, get back, dont you dare)I shout at him but it's to late. I'm fucked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk though the doors to my family home and Into the tech room where oaks messaged for me to meet him. I get in and shut the door. It's pitch black and silent.

A small lamp is switched on and Oakley swivels to face me with a cat in his arms that he's stroking across the back. We don't even have a cat-

"Well well well, look who finally decided to show up"

"Oakley I'm sorry-"

"I'm not angry I'm just disappointed" he says stiffly and I cringe.

"You took my lucky sock, and fed it to your tiger for what-"

"It's gross and disgusting-"

"Did I say you could speak peasant" wow he's really capitalizing on this situation

"No" i grit out and resist the urge to stab his face.

"You will buy me another sock and it will be a good design and if it's not......well you'll have to find out"

"You can't think of anything to threaten me with can you?" I say In a bored tone and he glares at me.

"I can I just don't want to scare you too much" he lies and I walk out the door nodding.

"Sure babe, keep telling yourself that"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I lay in bed and scroll through my instagram feed, it's 3am and grey is on a mission but he should be back around now . He walks through the door just as I'm thinking of him and he undresses to his boxers, changes in to some sweats and lays in the bed beside me.

"How did things go with Oakley?" He asks and I switch off my phone and shuffle over to him.

"Fine" i hum and get on top of him with my legs either side of him. He puts his arms around my waist and rubs my back gently.

"Bea wants us to go on a double date with her and Mav" I suggest and grey shakes his head.

"Fuck no"

"So next Wednesday or I can also do Saturday"

"Probably Wednesday, I'm Going to be really busy at the office because of becoming the Don tomorrow" he agrees and I smile.

"You're going to be such an amazing leader grey" i tell him and he nods at me whilst hugging me close.

"Thanks baby" he says and I rest my head on his chest and close my eyes.

A few minutes later grey shuffles around and I get flipped on to my back, he lays in between my legs and rests his head on my boobs. Figures.

I always wonder how every single morning we wake up in this position whether we fall asleep in it or not. I smile sleepily and run my hands through his hair.

His even breaths fill the room and I quickly find sleep shortly after him.
