Grace's pov:I chocked on this bloody sandwich and he started caressing my back concern laced his eyes. I'm so embarrassed. 'Can't you eat properly.' My inner voice yelled. "Why are you embarrassed? It happens." he said smiling at me softly. "How do you know what I was thinking?" I asked surprised. "By seeing your expressions I guessed." he shrugged. I nodded at him and turned my gaze to the blue sea, taking a bite of sandwich. He took out some packet of chips and extended them to me. "What?" I asked. "You can eat them also." he said glancing the packet of my lap. "No I'm fine." I said not want him to think that I'm troubling him. "No, you are not troubling me." he said grinning at me. I snapped my head at him. "Do you read minds?" I asked raising my brow. "I don't know but I can read yours." I said and winked at me. I moved his gaze from me and set on the sea. He also took a bite from his sandwich. His brown hair were flowing by the cool breeze blowing. His eyelashes flut

(Sunday)Grace's pov:I woke up and sat on the bed. Finally it's weekend and I can go for cycling with Joshua. I'm unexpectedly excited. Cycling with Joshua is the only thought in my mind today. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. I peek out of the window and saw the weather was very nice. I decided to wear a plain black t-shirt with grey joggers. I look my myself in the mirror. Am I looking too simple? Will Joshua think I have bad fashion sense? Why am I behaving like a lovesick girl? Fuck it! I pushed my thoughts aside and tied my hair into the ponytail. I took out the key from the bathroom cabinet and went into my room. I unlocked and opened the drawer of the study and took out the precious necklace of Mrs. Anderson. But for me it's a piece of shit. I gazed at the necklace and smirked.I went downstairs and saw Mr. and Mrs. Anderson having breakfast. They are home today because ofcourse it's Sunday. My footsteps caught their attention and they

Joshua's pov:Yesterday was a very beautiful day for me. The way Grace and I enjoyed together. She was behaving normal with me. I think now she is letting me in. Infront of me she started letting her guards down. She stopped pushing me away. I know I irritate her a lot but now she never lash on me like before. I never asked about her parents or family because somewhere I knew she is sensitive on that topic and I want her to tell me by herself. If she don't want to then it's completely fine. I just want to make her feel special and warm. I want her to know her worth. That she is also wanted by someone and that someone is me. Yes, I want her in my life without any doubt but I don't want to make her uncomfortable so I never told her about it. I want her to know it by herself by understanding me. I know there is some reason that's why she is so cold and distant but that's her call to tell me. As I inludge in my own thoughts I reached the school and entered the main gates. I went to the

Joshua's pov:I was looking at the people standing I'm the hallway and they were looking at me. In my hold Grace was breathing heavily because of the brave stunt she pulled now. "Calm down." I whispered in her ear softly. "THIS GIRL IS INSANE." Mrs. Anderson yelled in frustration. This provoked Grace more and she started thrashing in my hold wanting to hold that vase again. She extended her hand towards the vase from NY hold and I keep taking her hand back. "No Grace don't do this." I said calmly to her. She stopped and gazed at me. I nodded her "How dare she call me insane?" she said lowly if my face was not near her then I wouldn't have hear that. "You are not insane. Calm down stop doing this." she nodded at me. "Can I get some water." I asked the servants and one of them ran to kitchen. I made Grace sit on the couch. She was holding my hand like it is giving her any calmness. The maid came back with the glass of water I took it from her and said a quick thank you. I gave i

Grace's pov:After swaying me for few minutes when he saw I'm calm and silent now so he asked me "Do you want to continue or should we leave it here?"I came down from his lap after realizing what I'm doing and sat beside him. "I'm fine." I said and fixed my hairs. "Do you want water?" he asked me. I shook my head in no. He nodded at me and I decided to continue. "After not getting love from my parents I started finding it from others. I started depending on nanny hoping she would love me but she was too blind to see what I'm needing from her. A motherly love! When I didn't get it from her I started finding it in a boy who was my crush as well as friend back then. At first everything was fine between us but when I told him I like him he laughed at my face saying 'I don't deserve love I'm not worth it.' He was friends with me just because I was rich and buy things for him." I tsked. I moved my gaze to Joshua and asked him "Is this love or friendship that you need someone for their mo
