Godfather-Grethan

Chapter 2

Ethan's POV

I was looking up at the front of the church before the wooden bench creaks from the old wood and there is my mom, kissing me on the cheek as we wait for the priest

"How was class?"

"It was good, didn't really learn anything, we mostly focused on the ceremony, oh and Harry got a boyfriend" I said with a smile stretching my cheeks out towards the end, I'm glad Harry could snatch up someone, whoever they are they're lucky to have someone like Harry

My mom was going to say something before the priests voice sounds into the mic and through the speakers

Becoming bored and never really paying attention I looked off to the colored windows, all showed an image of the past with vibrant backgrounds, the light seeping through beautifully always caught my eye, reading the little descriptions from the ones I could before looking off to the crowd around me

Grayson stood close by with his by his side, seeming off as well as he looked around, right at me, a short wave of the hand accompanied with a small grin, eyes crinkling the slightest as we both turn back to the podium the priest is stood behind

Church ended as the kids with long candles in hand, and white lengthy robes walked down the isle, the priest following behind, shaking hands with some as people filed out of the pews after he passed

My mom followed after the priest, talking with him briefly before enveloping in a conversation with Stacy, Grayson's wife, where is he?

Standing outside admiring the willow tree that swayed in the summer breeze, beautiful, willow trees are my favorite, the way they droop down and swing back and forth amazed me

A touch of the shoulder comes to my attention as I turn to face Grayson, standing with a height of 6,1, a comforting smile took over his lips

"Oh hey Gray!" I happily said as I hugged him close, smiling into his chest as he hugged me tight

"Hey, I saw you and wanted to see how you were doing" we talked for a while about school and how college was going for him. He was studying to be a lawyer

My mom and Stacy came up to us after finishing their talk with Father Andrew and greeted Grayson with a hi and a hug as I did the same with Stacy. We talked for a little and my mom asked if the two of us could come over later to talk about something with him. We wanted to formally ask him to be my godfather, we knew he would say yes and even though we already put him down on the paper we still wanted to be traditional and bring a bottle of wine and ask him there at his house

He accepted and parted ways with a goodbye and another hug heading to our cars. I saw Grayson getting into his car with his wife, opening the door for her before getting in the drivers seat and leaving. My mom reversed out of the spot and drove out of the church parking lot into the busy streets being Sunday, family day as some would call it, parents off work and going out for lunch to restaurants with their family

My mom drove to the liquor store about five minutes away, going inside and leaving me in the car for a few minutes being too young to enter and coming out with an expensive bottle of wine minutes later

She got back in the car, soft music of whatever was popular on the radio played in the background, driving home to get ready to leave to Grayson's

I headed to my shower turning the knob to a lukewarm temperature, stripping my clothes off I got in and grabbed the loofah, scrubbing the soap on it as I applied it over my body. I grabbed my coconut shampoo lathering it in my hair as the thick liquid turned foamy and white.

I got under the water washing away all the products. I applied some conditioner making my hair slimy and rinsed it off. I turned the knob down shutting the water off. I got out of the shower grabbing the towel and drying myself off. I grabbed the clothes I set on the sink counter, an olive green and navy blue checkered button up, grey underwear, black jeans with some black socks.

I scrubbed my hair a final time throwing the towel in the bin and shutting off the light and going into my room. I sat on my bed, putting on my black converse tying the shoe laces. I grabbed my phone that had been charging now at 89%. I had a few texts I responded to and some notifications from other apps

It was 4:37 so I still had an hour before we left. I laid down on my bed, turning my smart TV on and putting on Netflix.

I was in the middle of watching Glee, they were at nationals and were about to perform when my mom knocked on the door asking if she could come in. I paused the show and got up to open the door. She told me to get ready, that we were leaving in five minuets

I grabbed my cologne spritzing two times over my chest and walked out grabbing my phone and stuffing it in my pocket

I walked downstairs to see my mom on the couch with her phone in hand. She was dressed nicely, dark jeans, white blouse with a pair of black heels.

"Ready?" I asked. My mom looked up and smiled telling me I looked cute as we walked out and into our car. My mom and I shared the car since she's waiting until I get my license before she buys me my own

She backed out of the driveway and onto the street going to Grayson's house. The drive there was about eleven minutes, not too far

We got out, my mom holding the bottle of wine as I knocked on the door three times. The door opened to Stacy

"Oh, hi Ethan, hi Kate" she said as she opened the door further to let us in

"Hi Stacy, we're here to see Grayson, we wanted to ask him something" my mom announced as I held a grin upon my face

"I'll go get him he's right upstairs" Stacy said as she turned around and up the stairs, down the hall and into their room. I've been here plenty of times before, it was a nice house, pretty big for their first

Steps sounded from above, some muffling as they moved closer to the stairs before stepping down the steps and down into the living room where we were sat
