Chapter 46: Indigo

"Anyway I told her that she needed to get a life because standing there shouting at my son, I don't think so bitch" I'm stood next to Alessia and she's telling me about what happened at Ollie's soccer the other day. I nod at her and look around, pretty much everyone has left because the family dinner starts in 5 minutes.

I scan the gardens for grey but I can't see him any where, something tells me he's drunk more alcohol.

"Let's head in"Allie says and I follow her through the glass back doors and into the kitchen, we go into the dining room and everyone is already at the table apart from Grey, Matt and Elliot. I sit down in my seat next to Oaks and he turns to look at me.

"I don't want to sit next to you" i furrow my eyebrows at him and stick my tongue out. He gasps and holds a hand to his heart.

"For good reason, you made fun of me" he accuses and I laugh softly at the memory of him on the bungee. He scoffs and turns back around to Am who's talking to my mum.

"How have you been sorellina" (baby sister) Enzo asks me from across the table and I look over to him.

"Good" I tell him shortly and he frowns.

"perché devi essere così schietto tutto il tempo, non so da dove lo prendi" (why must you be so blunt all the time, i dont know where you get that from) he states and rolls his eyes. I'm not blunt I'm practical, there's a difference.

A couple of minutes later the door opens and Grey, Matt and El all stumble through laughing. They stand up straight when hey see us and grey straightens out a nonexistent tie.

"Come on boys sit down" Charles says chuckling at them and they each find their seat, grey comes over and sits next to me.

He looks at me and blinks.

"What?" I ask and he shrugs and turns to the people bringing in food.

"My pretty girl" he says when he looks back to me and throws me a lazy smile.

"I hate you" I mumble feeling uncomfortable with the compliment and he pouts.

"Why? I'm lovely" he says and I roll my eyes.

"How drunk are you? You're pouting" I tell him and he picks up a fork and sticks it into his steak. He hasn't cut it so when he pulls it up, the whole steak is on the piece of cutlery.

"Want me to cut that for you?" I question him and he nods.

I cut the steak into bits for him and he eats some. He pushes it away and scrunches his nose at it.

"Thats gross" I hit his arm and he looks over at me.

"What?" He asks looking all innocent and I glare at him.

"Don't be rude" I tell him and he mocks me under his breath.

"Don't make me poison your next meal grey" I threaten and he shuts up.

"Did you not like the steak sir" the chef says when he walks up to check on us all.

"No" i sigh and grey shrugs at me.

"So thats where you get it from" I hear Enzo mumble under his breath and hunter hums in agreement.

"Why are you being so rude" i hiss at him and he rests his forehead on my shoulder and shakes his head. He stays like that while I eat.

"So grey how's business" my dad asks but I think greys dead because he hasn't moved for 20 minutes. Life insurance here I come.

Sorry

When grey doesn't respond everyone looks over to him and I smile. I realise that I can really embrace this situation.

"He's taking a nap, sometimes he prefers to go to bed at 7 so this whole 9 ordeal is making him tired" Alessia smirks when she catches on to me and Matt and Oakley snicker.

Grey lifts his head from my shoulder and picks up his glass of scotch while the rest of the table resumes the conversation.

He downs the glass and sighs.

"Better" I ask and he nods

"Better"

Soph walks up to us and climbs on Greys lap enthusiastically.

"Hey princess, happy birthday" greys slurrs and Sophie giggles.

"Are you drunk uncle grey?" She asks and grey sits up and gasps.

"What? I would never"  he says and tickles soph on her stomach, she wriggles and squirms while he keeps a steady hold on her so she doesn't fall off his lap.

"Drunk means you get me things?" She asks and cocks her head to the side, I sit back and smirk. His bank account is about to have a tiny dent created in it.

"Of course, anything for the princess" he says and soph gets his phone out of his pocket.

"Amazon?" She asks and he does the face recognition and hands her the phone while nodding.

"Whatever you want sweetheart" I laugh and sip my wine. This is too good.

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

Soph went up to bed about an hour ago and grey has his head on the table. He's drunk 3 more glasses of scotch, i actually cannot wait for the morning when he doesn't remember shit and about 50 Amazon packages show up with the label princess on them.

"Can I make a toast" My mum says and stands up whilst clinking her glass.

I flick grey on the head and he shoots up.

"To the happy couples" she continues and raises her glass.

"Petition for targeted bullying" Matt says whilst holding his glass in the air and hiccuping. Their all shit faced.

"Yeah jusssst because we happen to be single mother I don't think that you should bully us for it"  Elliot adds on and grey raises his glass.

"Toast to that" really?

"You're engaged stronzo" (asshole) I tell him and he grins at me

"Oh yeah" he mumbles and I roll my eyes.

Just as my mum sits down a figure appears in the doorway. Grey Immediately sobers up and grabs his gun out his waist band, he points it at the figure just as my dad, Charles, Enzo and basically everyone with a gun follows greys lead.

I stay sat, I can tell who it is, nobody else moves around as quietly as he does without getting caught.

"Oh it's you" grey sneers and sits back down real quick when Emilio steps into the light. I don't know if him sitting down was intentional or wheather how drunk he is hit him at once when he stood up.

"What a welcoming reception" Leo responds and my dad cocks his gun.

"What do you want Ferrari" my dad asks and I roll my eyes.

"Hey Leo"

"Hello darling" he responds and sticks his middle finger up at my fuming father who reluctantly takes a seat and looks to my mum who puts a reassuring hand on his tense shoulder.

"What the fuck do you want?" Grey prompts and Leo sends an icy glare to grey who returns the same hostility.

"The Russians, they figured out that I didn't kill you, they're suspicious. You have to be careful now. Whatever you're next move is be cautious" Leo explains and grey tenses at my side.

"Ok thanks Leo, I'll see you at the ball?" He nods his head and smiles at me, sparing no other expression for any one else and leaves. He's gone as quickly as he came.

"You heard the man" my dad states and takes a puff of the cigar he's got.

"Don't you smoke that in my house Vincenzo" my mother scolds, she takes the cigar from between his fingers and puts it into the water glass In front of them.

He grumbles in protest and I look over to hunter who's resting his head on my older brothers shoulder and chatting away while Enzo listens with a small smile on his usually stoic face.

When grey falls asleep for the third time in a really odd position on his arm I stand up and announce that grey and I'll will be going to bed.

Oakley let's out a whistle due to drunken state and winks at me but it turns into a series of odd blinking which make him appear as if he's in the middle of a seizure.

"Ok I think we'll head off upstairs as well" Am says and Oakley grins to all of us and waves at Matt who waves back and blows him a kiss. Oakley dramatically catches it and wipes a fake tear from his tired eyes before blowing one back. Matt catches it and swings back on his chair when he brings his hand to his chest. He falls backwards away from the table and disappears underneath it.

Grey laughs and goes to get up but in the process looses his footing and goes toppling on to the floor, joining Matteo under the solid oak furniture.

"Ouch" is all he says before he gets up and salutes whilst walking out the dining room. I hurry after him not wanting to leave the drunken man unsupervised in a hall of expensive vases and paintings.

I reach him only because he's stopped in front of an abstract painting my mother brought 3 years ago that I've never been able to figure out.

He tilts his head and reaches to touch it but I stop him, he looks at me and yanks his hand away almost offended. My eyebrows raise and I look at him for an explanation of his abrupt action.

He raises his eyebrows back and turns on his heel, leaving me in the hallway. I walk up behind him, jogging slightly to keep up with his long strides.

He stops and I bump into the back of him. He snickers at me and continues to walk down the hall with me in close pursuit.

"Greyson stop" I call out and he turns to look at me, i sigh in relief but it's only short lived. He looks at me confused and tilts his head once again.

"What do you want?" He asks and I pull a face at the cold tone that blankets his voice.

"I want to get you into bed without you breaking anything or harming yourself, also drop the rude tone asshole it's not appreciated" I tell him and he scoffs at me. What is up with him?

"Stop following me like a stalker, or I'll be forced to call backup" he tells me and I bring my hands up in an exasperated movement.

"Who's backup?" I ask and he gives me a 'are you serious look'

"My badass fiancée" he slurs and a look of confusion crosses my face.

"What?" I ask in pure question and he rolls his eyes at me.

"I told you, my fiancée, she won't like a creepo following me around, especially if said creepo is a lady" he tells me and turns once again to walk off.

I consider how to handle the situation and roll my eyes. What is my life?

I follow him as he trips up the stairs and some how makes it to my bedroom unharmed. He begins to take off his shirt but stops when he sees me enter the room.

"You need to stop, no means no" he tells me and just to appease him I go and face the wall by my massive fluffy beanbag, that will no doubt be my bed tonight if he continues on like this.

I hear him flop onto my bad and sigh after he switches of the light to my room. Being left with no light source and practically given the cold shoulder by grey who's so drunk he doesn't recognize me, I resort to using the flashlight on my phone to maneuver my way to my wardrobe and get changed out of my dress and heels and into one of greys hoodies and some sweats because it's going to be cold on the bean bag.

I know I could get on the bed but I know what it's like to have someone do something you don't want so I resort to getting on the bean bag and flicking through tik tok in the dark with a blanket thrown over my legs.

About half an hour later I hear shuffling and I see greys silhouette reach for something off the bedside table in the dark. A small light shines on his face and I see him click around on his phone until he finds what he's looking for.

My phone rings and he looks over to me in confusion when I pick it up and hold it to my ear.

"Indigo?" He says in a questioning tone into the speaker.

"Put. The. Fucking.phone. Down" I say to him in a pissed off tone, he wants to be surprised now, to fucking late I've been freezing my ass of over here for the past half an hour, I'm not forgiving him.

"Oh fuck" he curses and leaps out the bed.

"I'm so so so sorry baby" he grovels and picks me up but I don't trust him to hold me as he sways over to the bed while placing kisses on my face.

"No piss off" I say to him when he puts me down and gets into the bed next to me. He tried to bring me too his chest which sounds really appealing due to how fucking cold I am but I resist the urge and instead bundle myself in the duvet.

He creeps up behind me and I'm yanked into his embrace.

"I apologized, now let me hold you I can't sleep if I'm not holding you" he admits in a hurried tone and I nestle into his warmth.

"Ok" I say to him and he leans over and places a kiss to my lips.

"Fucking perfect" he mutters and lays back down behind me. I smile and close my eyes.

I've forgiven him.
