Annie and the big change
Chapter one- the day after Christmas
It was the day after Christmas and the president was hard at work trying to find a good home for all the orphans except one little special orphan Annie who was now officially adopted my rich billionaire Oliver Warbucks.
Annie comes running into her father's office
"Dad guess what Molly just wrote me she learned she said she loves her new family and her mother knows Ms. Grace" she pants form running
" Oh well that's wonderful speaking of grace I want to talk to you about her" he tells her with concerned eyes
" Is it something bad?" She asks with fear in her eyes
" No not at all now you know I gave her an engagement ring yesterday but I never really popped the question you know what I mean"
" I've might have been an orphan but we did learn what things"
He nods
" So what do you think of me asking her?"
" I love the idea that means if she says yes that she'll be my mother"
" Uh…yeah that is what you want I don't want to do it if you're not happy"
" Are you kidding I'm thrilled you go ask her I can guarantee she'll say yes"
"How can you guarantee that"?
"I'm a women I know these things"
Just then walks in Annie sees the looks that her father gives her
"Uh I better go and reply to molly's letter she wants to hear how I am"
She runs off to her room and leaves her father and alone
"Hello Grace"
"Hello sir"
"I've told you please call me Oliver"
"Yes sir…I mean Oliver"
They both do mere chuckles warm but so very far apart the phone rings and it brings both of them out of their deep thoughts
"Oliver Warbucks here"
" I recently heard you adopted a daughter"
"Well yes is there something wrong with that"
The line goes dead he hangs up
"What was that all about"
"Just another reporter trying to get my story"
Grace nods
"Well I should see how Annie right now I'm the closest thing she has to mother"
He nods in Annie's room Grace knocks on the door
"Come in"
"Annie its Grace"
She opens the door
"Can we talk?"
Annie nods
"Sure whatever about?"
"Well your father …and my boss"
"Okay so go ahead"
Grace just pours her heart and soul out to Annie of how she feels about Oliver since the first time she has met him and Annie understands her every step of the way
"Well have you ever told him how you feel?"
"I was but then he gave me the ring but the thing is he never popped the question I don't want to make hem think I got the wrong impression"
Annie nods and hugs Grace
"Just tell him he might just feel the same way"
At that very moment Annie actually felt like she had a mother and in her heart she knew that's because Grace truly loved her and she had that warm touch that a mother should have in Oliver's office Grace walks in
"Sir the president is on the line for you he wants to talk to you about the families for all of Annie's little friends"
"Thanks Grace I'll take the call"
For the next two hours Oliver is on the phone discussing the families he finally hangs up
"Grace I would like to ask you something?"
"Yes Oliver?"
"Would you like to go out to dinner uh…just you and me? Annie has everyone here to look after her"
"That sounds wonderful I would love to"
"Great. How does seven sound?"
She nods in agreement
