Chapter 95
“Fair one, Grandma has come to take you away from this brat,” Grandma Shiley said entering the mansion.
Keane and Smiles were seated on the royal blue sofa cuddling.
Smiley face sparkles upon seeing Grandma Shirley’s old yet pretty face. She quickly made her way to her
“Grandma, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I would have prepared something delicious for you” Smiles said, taking Grandma Shiley in for a hug.
Grandma Shiley chuckles, “No need pretty one, grandma has no intentions of stressing you” She was happy to finally meet Smiles, “Hope you are ready?” She asked.
Smiles brow twist not understanding, “Ready?” She asked.
Grandma Shiley nods, “yes, you are coming with me” she informs, taking a seat as Smiles did the same by her side.
Smiles turn to Keane who also had a confused look on.” can you explain things grandma, I don’t seem to understand you”
Grandma Shiley smiles before explaining, “It’s three days before your wedding and the bride can’t be seen with the groom a few days before their wedding day” she explains.
Smiles eyes widen at the realization of what grandma means, she stares at Keane who has the same look on her.
Smiles opens her mouth to speak but Keane breasts her to it.
“That’s ridiculous, I can’t let my wife go away from me. You know what, all that is the belief and tradition you old fox still believes in but me, there is no way I am doing that” Keane said in a dissatisfied tone.
“It’s not like you have a choice, I am your grandma and I take no permission in doing what is right” Grandma Shiley was bent on doing this.
It’s a tradition that has been practiced long before her great-grandmother was born and right up to her, it was still practiced. There is no way she would let it pass away in her turn, not while she’s alive.
“She is my wife’s grandma, and I make the decisions. And I say no, she stays with me till the wedding and after” Keane wasn’t like her grandma’s persistent commands.
“You dare not show your authority and power on me, Keane, it was passed down to you. I am your grandma, the mother of your father, at least that gives me enough right to command you at some point in time. I’ve never interfered with your life or anything, I always let you have it all and be your own boss, but not this time. You ought to give me the respect I deserve” Grandma Shiley was losing it, she couldn’t stand and watch him throw commands everywhere as if she were one of his workers.
Smiles didn’t know how things turn from a little joking matter to an intense one.
“Grandma, please forgive my husband, he’s just being overprotective. That’s all” A Smile tries to lighten the gloomy atmosphere
Grandma Shiley scoffs,” overprotective? Against who? I love you as much as he does, child. Why should he feel that way? It’s not like in taking you away from him forever, it’s just for three days”
“I will go with you grandma,” Smiles blurted out without a second thought.
Keane stares at her in disbelief, unable to believe she is seriously going to choose his grandma over him. Does she really not want to be with him?
Smiles saw the look on his face, she felt bad knowing what was running in her mind.
“Grandma, can you excuse us for a minute, we will be back,” Smiles said and reached out for Keane, he followed her behind without questioning.
They didn’t wait for Grandma Shirley’s response, they left.
Grandma Shiley smiles, seeing how obedient his grandson is when it comes to his wife. She has no problem with it, the most important thing is he has someone to boss him around too.
Smiles push Keane into the room and bolt the door behind, “why did you have to say such to grandma ” she asked, with a raised brow.
Keane didn’t answer her and asked, “Are you seriously going to leave with her?” His gaze was pleading mixed with sadness
Smiles breathe out tirelessly, “You didn’t have to speak to her in such a manner, she is your grandma. You ought to respect her” she explains.
Keane chews on his teeth, “The fact that she’s my grandma doesn’t give her the right to take you away from me. No one does, your place is here, with me, in this mansion. Fuck that tradition” He said over his voice, he could no longer hold on to his anger.
Smiles was shocked, for the first time he raised his voice at her.”Did you just raise your voice for me?” She asked, letting out a cracking laugh. Still trying to process things through.
Keane felt bad realizing what he just did,” fuck! ” He cursed under his breath, running his hands through his already messy hair.
Smiles had nothing to say, so she turned to leave, Keane quickly grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her into his arms as he hugged her from behind.
” I’m sorry! ” He whispers, almost in a teary tone.”It wasn’t intentional, I just can’t see myself without you” he cries
” Please! Stay” he begs, placing his head at the crook of her neck.
Smiles couldn’t stay mad after all his pleadings, she turned around.” you shouldn’t have spoken to her like that, she is your grandma and it hurts being treated as if she is nothing by the same child she sacrificed a lot for”
Smiles wipes away his tears, it’s her first time seeing him cry.” And you have to let me go, it’s not like I will stay with her forever, it’s just for a few days. Three days” she clasped his face with her small slender hands.” Bear with me hubby, before you know it it will be gone”
” How does it seem so easy for you? Do you really want to leave me? ” He asked, pouting his lips.
“You are the only place I will want to be, in this lifetime and the next. But that doesn’t mean we should shove everyone that cares and loves us away, they too deserve the chance to be loved and treated as one”
Keane let out a grumbling cry, “I miss you” he confessed taking her into a tight hug.
Smiles almost felt like bursting out in laughter but she held on to it, “Uh, you do know I’m still with you right? ” She reminds me.
Keane nods, still not letting go. He pulls away, only to kiss her, deep and passionately.
” Mmm” Smiles moans in his mouth, she tries pushing him away but the man is bent on not letting go.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“You can’t possibly be leaving me like this right? Last night you made me pleasure myself with my hand” he complains.
Smiles could feel something poking her stomach.” Grandma is at home” she reminded but Keane brushed it off and leaned down for another kiss.
Keane only pulled away when they were both breathless.
Smiles used this opportunity and pulled him out of the room,
Keane frowns, “you can’t do this to me, I am rock hard” he complains.
Smiles stop, look down at his little mountain down there, and then smile. “It’s ok, he will be just fine” She places a light kiss on his lips and pulls him downstairs.
