SO i have had this idea swimming around in my brain for awhile. I'm still focused on finishing It's just you and me, baby. But I'm having a small writers block and this idea keeps getting in the way. I don't know if I'll have time to write this story. I only have till November when I will be having a baby. And well with 4 kids it's going to get crazy around here. So If somebody out there would like to help me... like maybe write it with me or throw ideas my way. That would be great! Because I am a little lost on ideas. I have the 'big reveal' set up in my mind of what should happen. But I need the lead-up. If anything I might just make this into a short story depending.

Let me know what you think of the idea. I haven't read anything quite like this before so i'm hoping it's a new idea. Then again.. who knows:)

THE BEARD!

My name is Anastasia Steele. My boyfriend is Christian Grey. There's just one problem; he's married to my best friend, who is partially my sister. Now before you get on me about that and crucify me, she knows all about us. It fact she's the one that hooked us up. I know mind blowing right? Well, the reason behind it all is Christian is a beard. About two years ago, my best friend Ros, needed to get married. Her parents demanding that if she wanted her trust fund that she had to be married. They're some crazy old fashioned people. They have no idea that's she's gay. Her family is very religious and she's afraid to come out to them. Besides that small fact her parents are lovely people. I think she's scared to disappoint them and be put out.

So when she was at Harvard, she met Christian. They hit it off right away and they wanted to start a business together. However, they needed startup money. Which is where their plan to get married started, so Ros can get her trust and they could start the business. It also worked for Christian at the time because his parents were always getting on him about being single.

I missed the whole thing while I was studying abroad in France. I came home a year ago and Ros had told me everything that had happened. They had a small wedding in a court house in Boston. I only knew some of the story in a letter she written me. Telling me she got married and would explain more when she saw me. When I got back she introduced me to Christian and sparks flew. If you can believe in love at first sight, this was it.

Ros encouraged us to be together. She wanted us both to be happy. Just because they were 'married' didn't mean they couldn't have what they wanted. Ros was also dating this wonderful woman named Gwen. She didn't mind keeping their relationship a secret because she was in the same boat as Ros. Afraid to tell her parents. Gwen is always traveling for work. She's a photographer for National Geographic.

I'm staying at the Penthouse with Christian and Ros. I pretend to sleep in the guest room, but I stay with Christian. As for now the reason we tell their parents I'm there is because I'm in the middle of looking for work and Ros thinks there's so much space, why not have her 'sister' stay with her. Ros' parents Al and Julie understand. I've known the family since I could walk. Christian's parents Grace and Carrick seem a little uncertain about the living arrangement.

Now a year later everything has started to come to a head. But I think I should start at the beginning, when I first found out about this crazy arrangement.
