This wasn't written to be linked to Fifty shades, but I changed a few things around. I love this story and I hope you do too.
I have been writing all day and I couldn't wait to publish a small part. Let me know what you think ... If you don't want more I won't post more.
Enjoy :-) x
I sat in the Cafe with my good friend Elise she was chatting away about college and god knows whatever else, all I was thinking was about him. I knew his eyes would be on me watching from across the street.
"Are you listening to a word I have said?" she asked prodding me to bring me back to the table
"Huh" I smiled guilt running across my face she sighed
"I'm talking away and you are not even listening and Who are you looking at?" she asked turning her head in all directions.
"Sorry, I'm just thinking about finals. What's up?"
"Doesn't matter, Are your folks coming for Graduation?"
"I don't know yet, I still have to ask them"
"I'm sure that the local press will know before you anyway" she laughed, "That's true, maybe I should ask the local paper" we laughed together.
My parents are known throughout the country, with my Dad being The Christian Grey there isn't much ducking out of being known with my surname being Grey, I remember asking for a normal life to go to any college I chose, Jeez was that an argument and a half that was with Dad.
"You Are Not Going End Of!" He announced as I held up my acceptance letter from Boston College, he stalks out of the room slamming the door behind him.
"Mom, Please!" I begged holding my hands over my face hiding my watery eyes
"I know sweetie, I understand." She said hugging me close
"I moved away for college too when I was your age but I wasn't a Grey, I was plain old Ana Steele, you are his little girl and he wants you close to home to look after you. I think he is scared he has seen you every day since you arrived into his world, it's just hard on him to imagine not seeing you. He is so protective of you, he loves you".
That night I heard them arguing, it was the loudest I had ever heard them argue, my door flew open and my little brother ran in and jumped onto my bed. Blake he was so cute, he was a real gentleman at six years old, he was the spitting image of my father a mini Christian Grey, but he had my mom's persona.
"What's happening?" he asked looking at me with sleepy grey eyes,
"It's nothing, Blake. Everything is ok" I didn't even believe myself. He snuggled on my lap and I switched on the TV to drown out their voices.
"DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM ME!" Dad shouted and a slam of their bedroom door followed, which made me jump out of my skin, luckily Blake was sound asleep in my arms.
The following morning me, Bentley and Blake were all eating breakfast around the table in the kitchen watching some cartoon on the TV, something we always did on a Saturday when Gail wasn't around to cook.
"Good Morning my beautiful Children" my dad announced as he walks in so casual as if nothing happened last night.
Mum appeared with her motherly glow, I loved both of my parents and looked up to them both. I was in awe of my mother she has achieved so much she is a CEO of Grey publishing and I hope to follow her one day, we both love a good novel to snuggle up to. When I was younger I would go into the office with her then play with all my friends pretending to be my mother.
Dad leaned over to hug my mum when all of a sudden Blake jumped up onto his chair with his hands on his hips "NO, I WILL PROTECT YOU MUMMY" he glared at my father and we all burst into giggles. He was such a cute kid.
"Hey, Baby boy. I don't need protection from Daddy. Where did you get that from?" She asked him as she picked him up waiting for an answer.
Dad was about to join the hug but Blake shoved his hands away "I SAID NO DADDY" pouting at him, Dads brows furrowed.
I plucked up starting to clear the table "I'm in agreement with him this time"
"Why?" my dad was now in CEO mode, God I am not an employee Dad!
"Your argument last night, I'm surprised that you didn't wake up the entire house" I replied
"I heard too Dad" Bentley joined in
"Oh, dear" mom said, Dad looked at mom unsure of what to say, I could see him loose control in his eyes.
"Listen, Daddy didn't hurt Mommy and he would never hurt Mommy, Right?" she asked us all.
She held Blake close and stroked his Copper head against her shoulder.
My dad cleared his throat "You know that I love you all, I would never hurt any of you. I protect you all too much sometimes I know, but I do this because I don't want anything to happen to anyone in my family. The Security, the GPS on your cars, the background checks they all add up because of your safety".
"Come here, Son" he said to Blake taking him from my mother's arms.
"Will you all forgive me for last night, it was my fault. I'm sorry" he said.
We all nodded and he made his way around the table to kiss our heads. "Right, how about you get ready and we can play some ball, outside?" he asked the boys. "Yeah!" they both shouted and ran to change out of their PJ's.
Mom had gone shopping that day, Dad still hadn't mentioned College and I didn't dare approach the subject following their argument the night before.
That evening around the dining table just after dinner Dad instructs me to get Teddy on the phone on loud speaker "Hi Everyone, What's this about?" he asked, Blake and Bentley shouted in unison "TEDDY", "Okay you lot settle down. We have an announcement" Dad said, Mom curled her arm around my dad, and her eyes watched him like a puppy in love. Oh God I knew what was happening, this has happened to me twice before.
"We are having another baby, She is due in September" My dad strokes mom's stomach.
We were all in the family room, mom and me sharing the light from the lamp in between us I was reading Withering Heights and Mom was reading another manuscript Dad and the Boys sharing the sofa watching TV, my Dad stood and asked for a word with me and my mom, we followed him into their shared study.
"Before I start, I apologise for yesterday, I really am I don't want my two favourite girls upset with me. Me and my mum smiled at each other.
"Soon to be three girls dad, How are you going to cope when were all at home together?"
"I don't know" he replied and we all shared a smile.
"Look Libby, this baby wasn't planned and I don't want you thinking that she will be taking your place in my heart while your away at college, because I have a place for you all and as this family grows so does my heart." Oh no I think I am going to cry, I know my mum already is.
"So I can go to college anywhere I want?" I asked
"Yes, as long as it fits the security checks. I won't let you just up and leave to go to just any place" he said and I rolled my eyes.
That was years ago.
Elise left me alone in the coffee shop and I agreed to see her at study group later.
I walked out of the shop with the aroma of coffee around me, I walked on my own for a matter of seconds. I know he is behind me I can sense his glare I smile at the thought of him. I know he is carrying out his routine checks, checking that no one from college is about, Cameras and no other security that my Dad sends in every now and again.
He tugged my hand and turned me to him so we were facing one another, I giggled reaching up on my tip toes to move the loose black hairs growing over his eyes which are covered by his aviator sunglasses.
"Hi" I smiled
"Hi beautiful" I melted into his arms he bent down and kissed me deeply in the street, I threw my arms around his neck and felt his strong muscles move as he held me tighter.
As we pulled apart he checked around again doing another quick swoop, you wouldn't think he was my secret everything, he was a secret security to my fellow students, my secret boyfriend to my family and friends. I couldn't tell my parents that we were together because he works for my Dad that would jeopardise his job and he needed the money to finish University next year, also my Dad would Kill me I dread to think what he would do if he found out I was literally fucking the staff.
When Charlie first turned up I thought he was just a transferred student, he kept himself to himself and he didn't really talk to anyone or do anything, me and Elise and probably every other female would watch as he returned from his evening Jog, every night he came back from his run at 7.00pm we would wait by the wall or in the cafe across from our apartment just to watch him in his shorts and vest top, which showed every muscle move as he jogged passed us. My heart used to skip a beat every time and I would get a butterfly effect in the pit of my stomach, what I would have done just to feel him everywhere over every ripped muscle on his body.
Anyway one day my Dad called, he was going ape shit on the phone shouting I had to look after myself, I hadn't eaten anything all day and that I wasn't sleeping enough from the rings forming around my eyes.
If my over protective Father had not said anything I wouldn't have worked out the next part. As I rolled my eyes putting the phone down, I heard another phone ring in the Library I glanced around and it was Charlie's phone, he glanced over at me and gathered his books up from the table and exited through the Dark double doors.
I left all of my stuff near my friends and followed him out listening to his call
"Yes, Sir understood I will report back" What the ...? he came around the corner putting his phone in his pocket, he stopped as soon as he saw me.
"So, how are you finding classes?" I asked, This guy is going to get a grilling, I swear if my Dad is behind this AARRRR!
He looked at me worried, "Yeah, Classes are fine. Thanks"
"We have a study group if you would like to join us. I mean you are in EVERY single one of my classes. What made you choose those subjects exactly?"
"Erm ... Well I love to read, English literature and Management are what I would like to cover I would like to be a Teacher" he said
"Oh right, so why management if you want to be a teacher? Why do you need that?" I questioned He knows I'm on to him
"Well, my father insisted on it, he wants me to take over the family business one day"
"OK" I said, the story was sort of believable. "So study group?" I rose my eyebrow
"Oh Yeah, sure that's kind of you." He said
"No problem, I'm Libby" I introduced myself holding out my hand
"Charlie" he said as our hands touched my entire body got goose pimples, we broke touch and he followed me to join the study group.
Throughout studying Elise kept nudging me, it was like we were fifteen again looking out onto our first crush. I had to smile.
After a flirtatious study session between me and Charlie looking and leaning over the table to help one another Charlie gave me a lift back to our apartment and I didn't stop the flowing questions, in a way I was hoping that it was wrong that he wasn't my security we had so much in common. I asked things like...What business is your father in? Where are you from? He was doing well but there was no way he wasn't an undercover security. I see him everywhere I go and he doesn't interact with hardly anyone.
When I arrived back at my apartment, I called my Mom to quiz her
"Hey Mom, listen just a quick call really. Have I got security here?"
"Yes of course you have, I seen him when Taylor and your father interviewed him. He is a little Hottie isn't he?"
"Well I don't really know. I wasn't aware Josh got replaced and I think that Dad has placed him as an undercover student. Is his name Charlie?" I asked
"Oh your father infuriates me if that is right, I don't know his name. Leave it with me I will find out. I will have my own investigation here, Over and out" she said and we both giggled.
I showered and got ready to go to a party with Elise, I got a text from my Mom:
Confirmed: Undercover Charlie the student, Smithy the Security.
