I do not own any of these characters.

Hope you enjoy chapter 3!

APOV:

What in the WORLD?! Mr. god from the coffee shop is Grace's son, Christian. What are the odds of that ever happening? I almost hit the floor out of pure shock when I turned and he was standing there.

And what in the hell was that shock I felt when he shook hands?! My small hand fit perfectly in his large hand. You know what they say, 'big hands, big feet, big...' Whoa, whoa, whoa there Ana! I need to get my mind out of the gutter. Not like I'll ever have the chance to find out anyway because men like Christian Grey do not go for girls like me.

I've finished my lunch and still have time to spare. I need something to do so I'm not sitting around dreaming about my bosses son. I haven't talk to Kate in a few days so I decided to give her a call.

"Hey Ana! What's up?"

"Not much. Just finished lunch a little early and wanted to call and catch up. How are things going with you?"

"Oh god, Ana! I met the most gorgeous guy. I actually think you work at his mom's office. His name is Elliot, and he is too fine!" Yeah, that seems to be the running theme with both of her sons.

"Really? Wow, yeah he's Grace's oldest son. I haven't met him yet. How did you meet?"

"His company was doing some work on the building next door to my office. I was coming in to the office yesterday and he stopped me. We talked for a little while and exchanged numbers. He's taking me out this weekend."

Kate has never had a problem with getting dates. With her blonde hair, green eyes, and killer body, men take notice.

"That's exciting! I bet you can't wait. I want all of the details! Well, not all of them. You can leave the TMI stuff out." I laugh. I haven't heard Kate this excited over a guy in a long time.

"Okay Ana banana! We've got to get you a hot date some time soon. I will more than happy to watch my little Brooklyn. Look chick, I gotta go, but I'll call you later. Love ya!"

"Love you, too!" We hang up and I start getting the charts ready for the rest of the afternoon.
I know Kate means well when she tries to get me to date, but between work and being a mother, I just don't have the time. Or that's the excuse that I'm going with…..

Kate and I were roommates in college. She and our friend Jose have been with me since day one. Speaking of Jose, I need to call him soon. He moved to California with his boyfriend, Derek, a few months ago. I am really happy for him, but I miss him so much.

"All right miss Ana, what's next on the schedule?" Grace comes walking back in wearing her radiant smile.

"I have everything right here, ready to go. Did you have an enjoyable lunch?" I know I shouldn't nosey, but I can't help it. I want to know everything about Christian.

"Yes I did! Thanks for asking. Christian is always working and I hardly get to see him, so it's always a treat when I can steal a few minutes with him."

The rest of the day flies by and before I know it I'm out the door and on my way to pick up my favorite person.

Brooklyn spots me time I walk through the door of the day care. "Mama, mama" she yells as she comes running to me. I pick her up and she wraps her little arms around my neck. Best feeling in the world. Mike just doesn't know what he missed out on.

On our way home, Brooklyn talks about her day. I can't believe she'll be 3 in a matter of a couple of weeks. Which reminds me, I need to get the plans finalized for her party. There won't be many people there, just our family and a few of her friends from daycare. We have a nice size apartment, but I think I'm going to have her party at the park so the kids can run, play and burn off the sugar rush from all the sweet treats.

We walk through the front do and I go straight to the kitchen to start cooking dinner. I'm lucky that Brooklyn isn't a picky eater. The child will eat anything I sit in front of her.

After dinner Brooklyn and I play on the floor while we watch 'paw patrol'. My little girl loves that show. So much so that that's the theme of her party this year.

"Okay Miss Brooklyn, it times for you bath."

"But why?" Yup, her two favorite phrases, 'but why' and 'what's that'.

"Because everyone needs a bath so they can be clean and fresh as a daisy"

"But why?"

"They just do, sweetie. Now up you go so we can get ready for bed."

"But why?"

"Because we need sleep. You have daycare and Mommy has work tomorrow."

Before she can ask the now famous 'but why' again, I swoop her up and walk to the bathroom.

When bath and story time are over, I tuck Brooklyn in bed and as usual little miss Brooklyn turns into a chatter box. At almost 3, she is a very smart girl. I assume it's because she is constantly asking questions.

"Mama, we go to the park tomorrow?"

"We'll see, baby."

I'm quickly interrupted by miss smarty pants, "I not a baby. I a big girl!"

"Yes you are, and all big girls need sleep"

"But why?" And here we go again. Better put a stop to the 'but why' train or I'll be in here all night.

"So they can continue to grow big and strong. Night, night my sweet girl. I love you bunches"

"Night, night, mama. Lub you, too."

After I put Brooklyn to bed, I decide to google Christian . It really should be illegal for a man to look that good. I find it strange that in all of the pictures, he's always alone. There were a few of him with Grace or his sister Mia, but none with an actual date. Then it hits he... I wonder if he's gay?

The rest of the week passes by in a blur and it's finally Friday. Grace comes in and informs me that she'll be leaving early today due to her daughter returning from Paris. That works for me! Looks like it park time for me and Brooklyn.

At 12:00 Grace and I say our goodbyes. I'm staying in the office a few more hours to catch up on insurance referrals.

Before I know it, it's 2:30. Just as I'm about to head out the door my cell rings.

"Hello"

"Ana, it's Grace. Would you happen to be still at the office?".

"Yes, I was just about to walk out the door. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Zack Peterson's mother just called and was worried about something in his blood work. My laptop is acting up and I was wondering if you could drop off his file to me on your way home."

"No problem. Give me your address and I'll bring it to you as soon as I pick up Brooklyn from daycare."

"Of course. I can't wait to see that sweet little angel again." Grace has always been so sweet to Brooklyn. I couldn't think of a better pediatrician to take my daughter to.

A few weeks after I started working here, I told Grace that I was a single mother and the reasons why. Grace is so easy to talk to. She didn't judge me like some people do. She just assured me that I was doing a good job of raising my daughter and let me know that she would be an ear if I ever needed to talk to someone.

I grab the file that Grace needs and go to pick up Brooklyn.

As I pull up to Grace's house, I am stunned at how beautiful her home is. I could only dream of ever living in a home like this.

"Okay Brook Brook, lets go give Mrs. Grace this file and we will go to the park!" I tell her as I'm getting her out of her carseat.

"Play at the park?!" her little eyes light up.

"Yup! Let's go big girl."

As we walk up to the door, Brooklyn keep pointing and naming the colors of the cupcakes on my scrubs. I always try to wear colorful scrubs for the kids that come into the office.

I let Brooklyn ring the doorbell and as soon as the door opens, I'm speechless. Standing there in jeans and a black tee shirt is none other than Christian Grey himself.
