Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Tokyo's POV

"Did the two of you had a fight again?" Zanaya whispered while we are facing each other as we seat on the dining, her feeding little Ashton.

My brows furrowed, following her line of sight. My stomach flipped at the sight of the person who had been keeping me awake within the past week, Grey.

I gulped.

Everyone had noticed the sudden change in our relationship. I mean, from the usual avoidance or constant banter these past few months to the cute bickering and all. Well at least to me, it's cute.

"What do you mean?" I asked her. It's true that Grey had been silent ever since this morning but we haven't really talked for more than five minutes since the boys had been painting the walls on the room which will serve as the baby's playroom.

Sure, the baby had a playing pen in the living room but the kid had too many stuff mainly coming from his aunts and uncles. They need to have a place for organized safekeeping.

"Well, your little boyfriend had been scowling ever since this morning. It was so obvious Seth had been nudging me over to ask if you two had a fight because you see, even his members were being careful not to piss him off today," she stated and my cheeks blushed at her calling Grey my boyfriend.

"He isn't my boyfriend Zanaya," I mumbled as I try to avoid her glance but I was sure I caught her smirking before wiping her baby's cheeks. I reached for the glass of cold water and slowly drank to quench the sudden thirst I am feeling due to Zanaya's on-the-spot interrogation.

"Yeah, try to be a little more convincing. You'll need it if you want to keep your stupid facade even in front of me. Tokyo, even their boss will be able to tell there's something going on between you two," she chuckled.

"You two are literally eye-fucking each other since last week," she said and I choked on the water I was drinking but the sight of her covering her baby's ears just right when she uttered the effin word didn't quite get passed to my vision. As if the kid would understand. But yeah, Ashton learns thing so fast, I can't blame Zanaya for being careful.

My hand landed on my chest as I try to catch my breath, tears threatening to spill right from my eyes, my continues coughing made Zanaya's eyes widen in panic.

"Oh gosh, Tokyo!" she said and she tried to reach forward to help me but stopped abruptly when a hand suddenly started rubbing my back in attempts to help me calm down.

The moment my body turned, my eyes widened at the sight of Grey.

He tilted my head a little so he can see my face before carefully wiping the tears at the corner of my eyes.

Not even sure how long it was but eventually, my coughing had already stopped and so was the beating of my heart.

Just when I was trying to prove a point to Zanaya, that's when Grey would come and ruin my meaningless plans.

Zanaya started giggling and I tucked my lower lip in between my teeth.

"You okay now?" I heard Grey asked and as if I was hypnotized, I nodded.

He started fixing my hair which made my cheeks blush even more, my eyes focusing on every sweet gesture he does and I was sure Zanaya was shaking her head behind Grey's back.

"Be careful, okay?" he stated before pinching the tip of my nose, teasing me before turning his back to head forward to where the boys are,

"So what were you about to say?" she said in a teasing tone.

"We were not eye-fucking, Zanaya Devon! Whatever it was that you said, "I tried to deny but she dead-ass stared at me like I was being a lunatic.

Were we that obvious?

"You can really tell?" I shyly asked and her eyes widened at my sudden confession.

Sometimes, I hate the fact that Zanaya can read me like an open book. It bothers me that I can't lie to her but then again, among us four, it's her whom I normally fight with like some real sister. It was because of her why everything seemed to be easier even though things hadn't been that easy since training days.

"Hun, he's literally all over you. Just look at how he was here in a flash the moment she saw you coughing. Of course, I will notice! And Tokyo, have you forgotten how I had been in a secret relationship for so long?" she looked at me incredulously and I pouted at her response.

"Anyways, don't worry, some of the guys were pretty dense I don't even understand why they haven't caught on with your relationship," she said shaking her head before kissing her baby on the cheeks.

"Ashton baby, we're right. Aunt Tokyo is in love with uncle Grey!" she said while squealing and my heart almost melted when baby Ashton smiled.

"Aww!" I cooed. "Can I borrow Ashton for a day Zaya? Like, Grey and I can take care of him. Besides, you and Seth haven't gone for a date for so long!" I asked her showing her my puppy look which never fails to make Grey agree whenever I ask him to act cutely towards me. But I should know that this will not work on Zaya because, yeah. she's Zaya.

"Tokyo, don't make me wanna hit your face in front of my baby. Please stop doing that face towards me," she scowled and I giggled. "And Seth won't approve of it. The last time we left Ashton with the boys, we came back with a broken crib, and Ashton's car seat sitting on top of what seemed to be a car made of bean bags. My mom almost died of a heart attack!" she exclaimed and I can clearly remember that incident.

The whole SHADOW almost ended up getting banned from the house because Zaya's mom was in a panic.

"Zaya, that was the boys. It'll be just me and Grey!" I tried to reason out but she cut me off.

"What's with you and Grey?" I turned around immediately after I heard Seth 's voice booming on the kitchen, Baby Ashton immediately screaming calling his Dad, and Zaya smiling at the sight of her husband.

"So you and Grey?" he asked after kissing Zaya on the cheeks and giving a kiss on Ashton's forehead.

My cheeks redden once again at the sudden question.

Zaya hit Seth on his shoulder while chuckling. "Don't even try telling it to the others. Let them confess on their own. Though I'm pretty sure either Mono or Raze will kill you two," she chuckled.

Seth looked at me amused. "Lady, what did you even do to that young man. He had been so sensitive ever since this morning, did you two fight?" he asked and my brows furrowed once again.

"Babe, little Grey had been so sweet with Tokyo earlier. I was wondering if it's actually the other member's fault why Grey was cranky," she stated and before I can even answer, my phone resting on top of the table started ringing.

And again, Alex is calling.

"What's this guy needs now?" I pouted before reaching for my phone and answer his call.

"What do you need now? Lex, I seriously haven't forgiven you for last time," I screeched and I heard him chuckle from the other line. After me and Grey talked, I've found out what he heard Alex had said when Lex called on my found drunk. And I finally understood why Grey acted like that. Alex's words made it seem like he loves me and he was hurting because I am with Grey even though we were engaged.

Alex had continuously apologized to both Grey and I, and even though Grey had long put the past forgotten, I was still salty about it.

"Babe, you should also thank me because I'm half the reason why you're back together now," he teased and if not for baby Ashton being here, I would have flipped him off once again.

"What do you need?" I asked annoyed and I heard his hearty laughter once again.

"Tokyo, do you remember how you made me promise not to tell Grey how you two first met?" he asked and my forehead creased. "Yeah, what about it?" I almost forgot about that incident. It has been so long.

"Well dear, I think you may have to tell your man because he's been feeling guilty thinking about he's cheating on you," he stated and I felt my stomach churning in nervousness.

"What do you mean?" my heart is beating so fast. Just the thought of Grey cheating puts me on the brink of losing my shit.

"Tokyo, Grey had been dreaming about the incident. He actually fell in love with the sassy you last time and he doesn't even have the slightest idea. Now he thinks he's being a jerk for constantly dreaming about another girl when he didn't even know that his girlfriend and first love is basically the same person!" he stated and my jaw instantly landed on the floor.

What?

Grey had been in love with me since then?

Holy shit.
