Comme des Enfants | Penny & Grayson
This day was quite an important day for Grayson Flemings. Let’s just start by saying that the poor lad couldn’t sleep that much through the night, his mind filled with thoughts of Penelope, his childhood friend, and his body completely filled with excitement. The poor boy could barely rest for a bit and before he knew it he was up again, taking a shower and actually putting an effort in his outfit for the day.
Penny is one of the most important people in Grayson’s life. Ever since they met, when they were still little children, the green-eyed boy used to look at her in admiration; he used to watch in awe at whatever Penny did. As they grew older, said admiration turned some sort of puppy love, as Grayson realized that girls weren’t as gross as he actually thought when he was a 7 year old. He never tried to let her know about his feelings for many reasons, for example, his incredible shyness whenever he was around her or his fear of rejection. The oldest of the Flemings complied with having Penny around; her friendship was all he could ever ask for. Yet he still hoped for the day when he would become someone worthy of her love.
The curly haired lad checked himself in the mirror one last time before nervously walking out his room and across the hall to Penny’s bedroom. Bea informed him a couple nights ago about Penny’s date with his younger brother, Wesley, and he couldn’t help but feel down about it. If there was anyone in the world who could be good enough for Penny, it was Wesley, without a doubt. And that was why Grayson sort of envied him. He was scared he could never be good enough. The oldest Flemings sort of felt bad about wishing for their little dinner date to be a complete fiasco. But he couldn’t help it; he’s been in love with the girl since they were 13.
Shaking off his unpleasant thoughts, the young lad focused on what was about to happen. A whole day with Penny walking around the streets of Paris was just what he needed. Some kind of reassurance that no matter what happens in the future, they’d always be together, even if it weren’t in the way he wants it to. Grayson finally managed to put his nerves aside and knocked on Penny’s door expectantly. A big smile was plastered in his face and he couldn’t remember feeling this excited ever since he was a little kid.
