APOV
Kate tells me how to get to the bathroom but I still get a little lost on the way there, opening a closet or two. I eventually open the correct door making sure it's locked before handling my business. As I finish up I hear voices from down the hall. I can't really make out what they are saying through the door.
I start to panic as one of the voices doesn't sound too happy. What if they are upset that I'm here? What if they just wanted it to be friends only? I knew I shouldn't have come.
I unlock the door and poke my head out to make sure the cost is clear. I walk in the opposite direction of the voices. I walk around for what seems like hours but in reality it was like 10 minutes. Maybe I should just tell Kate that I'm not feeling well, that way I won't ruin everyone's fun. I walk back and I hear the voices again. I stop in the doorway and clear my throat to get everyone's attention. Boy do I regret that all eyes are on me and for the longest time no one says anything.
Did I accidentally tuck my sweater in my leggings? Do have toilet paper on my boot? I look down and no toilet paper. Next thing I know a tall buff blonde is introducing himself as Elliott. I immediately like him, he gives off the feeling that makes me feel safe like my big brother is looking out for me. I look at Kate and laugh so this is the guy she told me about. I feel a pair of eyes watching me very closely. I look over and I see the most beautiful guy I have ever seen in my life.
He has messy copper hair, beautiful gray eyes, straight nose, and perfect pink lips, you can see his muscles through his fitted black t-shirt. Wow who is that!? "No one that will ever be interested in you." I hate my subconscious. She's right as always no way in hell someone that good looking would be into me. I'm just too fucked up. He is a bit intimidating anyway.
Next I meet the blonde I seen Kate and Mia with the other day. Her name is Lilly she seemed really nice but I don't feel completely comfortable with her. I don't know what it is but something is telling me to keep an eye out for her. Then we finally get to the gray eyed, Greek god. He is deep in thought and by the look on his face it's not a happy thought.
"Christian", Kate yells out and just his name sends shivers down my spine. His voice dear god that voice it makes my belly clench. What is happening? He reaches out his hand to shake mine and as soon as my hand is in his I feel an electric shock run through me. The look on his face tells me he felt it too. I quickly take my hand away and look anywhere but at him.
I make my way over to Mia "Hi Mia it's nice to see you again" I know she wants to hug me but I'm glad she doesn't. After everyone has introduced themselves we head out.
There is a big black SUV parked outside. Elliott opens the door and let's Kate get in first and he follows behind her. 'Isn't he ever the gentleman' my subconscious say and I just roll my eyes at her. Next to get in is Mia then Ethan then Lilly, I have no idea where I'm going to fit in. I poke my head in and I see the two couples all fit in the back row. In the front row is Lilly and I take a seat right next to her in the driver's seat is Christian.
The car ride is full of talking. They talk about everything from shoes to football. I just sit and listen and wish I could have a normal life like them. Every now and then I steal a quick look at Christian and I catch him doing the same. I can help the smile and blush.
"Hey Ana "Mia calls from behind" I'm so glad you came we are going to have soo much fun! I know crowds aren't your thing but I promise you won't regret it." I can feel her excitement building. "If all goes well we can make this a thing. We can all hang on the weekends we don't even have to invite the guys it can be just us girls! Nous pouvons aller faire du shopping et de parler des garçons! Je pense que je peux vous trouver le mec parfait si nous pouvons tous aller sur une date de groupe! ce ne serait pas amusant!" I can't help but laugh as does the rest of the car except for Christian who looks annoyed. She got so excited she started speaking French but he wasn't amused.
"Mia" he says as if to warn her. Before he could say anything else I speak up.
"Mia calmer. Vous savez que je ne suis pas beaucoup d'un client mais je aimerais sortir avec vous les gars à nouveau. Non pour les garçons que je ne veux pas que mon premier petit ami d'être homme de manière aléatoire mon ami m'a mis en place avec"
The faces in the car are priceless. Even Kate and Mia are shocked the fluency of my French. I even see the shock in Christian's eyes as he glances at me through the rear view mirror.
"WAIT!" Mia screamed startling everyone " What do you mean "first boyfriend" have you really never had a boyfriend?!" Damn it. I was hoping she didn't catch that part, I shouldn't have said that why did that even come out of my mouth?
"How do you look like that and have never had a boyfriend?" Kate asks "have you been kissed before?" Elliott ask.
"Umm yes" but it wasn't willingly but they don't need to know that. I look up and Christian looks angry, I wonder what upset him 'maybe he's mad he's not your first kiss' my subconscious says laughing like it was so unbelievable that a guy like that would interested in me. 'He wouldn't be, don't kid yourself' she's probably right but I tell her to shut it.
"Does that mean you're a virgin?" Mia ask and the only thing I can do is blush furiously and pray for this ride to end soon.
"Oh god Mia" I say with my hands over my face to try and hid my embarrassment. "You can't blame me for asking"
"Oh god what have I gotten myself into... no I have not did that with anyone"
"OMG! Do you realize perfect you are!? You every guys dream, your beautiful, long hair, big boobs, nice butt, and you're a virgin to top it all off!" God could this get any more embarrassing. Just the car comes to a stop and see a big building with ' Ice Rink' I hop out the car like it's on fire.
We get in there and I get nervous, I start looking around and there is a lot of people here. What if someone runs into me? Or they fall and grad on to me for balance? Oh my god this was a bad idea. Then I feel someone grad my wrist, I look back and it's Christian.
"Don't worry no one will touch you, I promise" I don't know why but I believe him. Then I wonder how he knew I didn't or rather couldn't be touched, how did he know it was OK to touch my wrist?
Kate probably told him. He must think I'm a freak! I can't help but hold my head in shame what am I doing here trying to be normal?
"Come on Ana" Mia calls from the booth where we get skates from I
"Well what do we have here? I haven't seen you around here, what's your name cutie?"
"Just get her some Damn skates would you Jake" I hear Christian's voice come from behind me. When did he get there?
"What's wrong Christian scared I'm going to take your girlfriend like my team and I took the state championship from you and your poor excuse of a football team." So I guess they know each other. I look up and I see Christian looking very angry but I can tell he is trying to hold back.
"Just give us some Damn skates Jake"
"Aww but I was enjoying our conversation." The then turn his attention to me he has a creepy smile but I think he was going for charming. 'Well he was way off' my subconscious says and I totally agree, I look down and try to hide behind the curtain of my brown hair.
"I will take a size 13 and she will have a size..."
I look at him and make brief eye contact and in the brief moment I felt the safest I have felt in a very long time. I quickly put my head back down to hide my blush
"Size 4 please" I say is a small voice. 'Could you be any more pathetic' my subconscious is now laughing and me. Ughhhh can I just please get my skates and go. Next thing I know Christian and this Jake are face to face ready to fight.
Elliott runs quickly to help defuse the situation
"Calm down Chris he's not worth it!" He tries to grab Christian's shoulder but he just shrugs Elliott off. I can tell he's getting more and more pissed by the second he is literally 5 seconds from punching this kid in the face. Jake can tell he is get to him but won't keep his mouth shut.
I have to do something before this gets any worse. They are almost chest to chest so I walk over to them and try to speak but I'm cut off before anything leaves my mouth.
"I wouldn't stand so close babe this could get ugly, but after I beat his ass how about you go out with a real man. I could show you a real good time if you know what I mean" Jake said
"She isn't going anywhere with you!" Christian says in a low angry tone. His fists are clenched into tight balls his knuckles where going white
I reach up and drag my hand from his shoulder to his wrist and grab it. His head snaps to me and for a minute I see the rage his gray eyes were a bit darker then before but it quickly disappears when he sees it's me.
"Hey Christian can you help me with my skates?" I ask while lightly pulling him away from Jake and leading him to the bleachers. I made sure I was between them so neither could get the other without hurting me.
"Count your blessings chrissy boy because she just saved you from an ass beating!" Jake can put up a tough front but I can tell he didn't want to fight he just wanted to start some trouble.
We get to the bleachers and I toe off my boots.
"That's some temper you have there Mr. Grey"
"You have no idea" he chuckles as he gets down on one knee to help put my right skate on.
"I have quite a bad temper myself you know" now he puts the left one on and lacing them up for me.
"You have a temper?" He has one eyebrows raised in an are you can be serious expression on his face.
"What? I do and I am not afraid to use a little force either" I say while flexing my little muscles. I give each arm a little kiss. This earns me a beautiful smile and a sexy laugh.
"You don't look like you can hurt a fly" he finishes my skates a lacing them up for me.
"Looks can be deceiving I can kick some serious butt"
"OK if you say so, now put those guns down before you hurt yourself" I giggle and I swear I see his face light up a little.
"Now come on and let's go skating" he holds out his hand to help me up.
"But you didn't put your..." I look down and he already has his skates on and is ready to go. I look up at him confused. When did he do that? Like he can read my mind he answered my unspoken question.
"I put them on while you were giving your little gun show" he give me a little laugh and waits for me to take his outstretched hand. As soon as our hands meet the electronic current is back. By the look on his face he felt it too.
"Hey Christian!" We here from across the room. We turn to see talk, tan skinned, black haired, well-built guy coming towards us.
Geez is everyone in this town good looking
"Hey Christian I just heard what happened with you and.." he stops talking when his eyes land on me.
"And who are you? I have never seen you before. I'm Paul, Paul Clayton" he says while giving me what I'm guessing to be a seductive smile. I can't help but laugh he is so confident it's actually funny. I slip my hand out of Christians and shake his
"I'm Ana nice to meet you" when he takes my hand there isn't the same spark there...interesting
"The pleasure is all mine" he says kissing the back of my hand. I look over at Christian and he looks really annoyed.
"Keep it in your pants Clayton" Christian sneers at Paul
Paul and Christian took a few steps away but they were still close enough for me to hear what was being said "Hello Christian, what was up with you and jack?"
"He was trash talking the team and I was going to put him in his place but he caught a lucky break"
"Well as long everything is cool why don't you let me escort this lovely lady to the rink, you said she was one of Mia's friends and god knows you hate being around them so you got lucky too" he smiles and walks back to where I am and I try to act like I wasn't listening to their conversation.
"You ready to hit the ice?" he ask with his hand out. I look at Christian and his face is impassive and 'well Paul did say he hated to be around Mia's friends' my subconscious pipes up and she's right but I don't know him I really just met everyone and what if he touches one of my no go areas and to be honest I just really want to stay with Christian but if he doesn't want me around I don't want to be a burden so I take his hand and make my way to the ice. I see Mia, Kate, and Lilly already on the ice laughing and having fun Elliott and Ethan went to talk to Christian.
As soon as my skates hit the ice I lose my balance and land on my butt. "oww" Paul comes to me chuckling and holds his hand out pulls me up once I'm on my feet he guides me to the wall and I use that as my guide
"I take it you haven't skated before" he says and I just shake my head and try not to fall on my butt again
"So tell me about yourself Ana what do you like to do?"
"Not much to tell I'm the quite bookworm type"
"I like the quite type. What type of guys do you like?"
The kind with gray eyes and copper hair. I think to myself. We do a few laps and I noticed Christian staring at us with an impassive look on his face. I wonder what he is thinking, anyway Paul is a cool guy he has an older brother and works at his family's hardware store. I try to give him as little information as possible I just tell him I about how I move around a lot and what the cities were like. He tries to hold my hand a few times but I "accidentally" fall ripping our hands apart. I barely know him and I don't like to be touched but I didn't want to be rude about it. I hear my name being called I look to the right and I see the girls calling me over so I excuse myself from Paul and see what they want.
"What's up?" I ask
"Come to the bathroom with us" Mia asks so I follow to the restroom and as soo as I'm in there they ambush me with like a hundred questions. Whoa!
"How's your date?" Lilly asks
"Do you like him?" Kate asks
"What did you guys talk about?" Mia ask
"Did he try anything?"
"Are you going to let him kiss you at the end of the date?"
"WHAOOOO, GUYS HOLD ON!" I scream over them. "One at a time guys! First off this is not a date second I don't even know him enough to like him, no he has not tried anything, and lastly no I will not kiss him like I said before this is not a date!" I rush out in one go.
"Breath Ana" Kate tries to clam me down
"Yeah Ana chill out we are just curious, and it's obvious he likes you he has not stopped smiling since you two met." Mia says
"Yeah Ana he totally has a crush on you" Lilly chimes in while applying some more blush to her face. Someone actually has a crush on me!? If he knew how fucked up I was he wouldn't like me at all.
"He was just being nice to me guys I am the new girl to the group. He was just being polite"
"Ana your hot he would be crazy not to have crush on you" Kate says they puts on some more lip gloss. They finish freshing up and we leave the bathroom. They guys are on the ice playing hockey so we just stand and Paul and Ethan on one team and Elliott and Christian on the other. When Paul makes a goal he looks at me and winks and I blush bright pink.I look over to Christian and he looks angry and is now glaring at Paul. I wonder what he is so upset about. Throughout the game I have noticed Christian has been extra aggressive towards Paul bumping into him, shouldering his very hard and even tripped him with his hockey stick a few times. Paul just gives him some dirty looks and the finger. They finish the game and the Grey brothers win by one goal.
"lucky shot" Ethan scoffs and Elliott and Christian just laugh as we all head to the bleachers to take off our skates. That creepy guy Jake is still there when we go to return the ice skates. He takes everyone's skates and he and Christian have a little stare down but luckily nothing happens. Its now my turn I set the skates on the counter and turn to leave when Jake grabs my wrist I turn to see why he is touching me.
"Hey baby how about you give me a kiss before you leave" he tries to say in a sexy way.
"umm no thank you" politely and try to pull my arm away and catch up with the others but he yanks me back. I'm getting uncomfortable
"I really have to catch up with the other, I don't want to kiss yo now let go of me." I say yanking my arm. Then Mia And the other girls come over to see what is going on.
"Ana whats going on is this asshole bothering you?" Kate asks giving Jake a dirty look along with Mia and Lilly
"Fuck off Kavanagh I'm not bothering her you just so rudely interrupted our kiss." I can't believe he would talk to someone with such disrespect especially a girl.
"Yeah right she hardly talked to you and now you think she wants to kiss you"
The guys see something is wrong and make there way over here. Omg
"What is going on here" Ethan ask taking his place next to Kate who is still glaring angerly at Jake who is still holding my wrist
"Come on you guys I'm starving!" Elliott whines coming over to see what the hold up is followed by an angry looking Christian
"Look as soon as I get my kiss you guys can be on you way, now hurry and kiss me Hanna you don't want you poor Elliott to starve" is he fucking serious right now he expects me to kiss him when I barely know or talked to him, he disrespects my friend and he is violating my personal space! That's it I'm going to do something about this.
"Look Jake she isn't interested or you would have kissed her by now so let her go no means no" Ethan says
" No Ethan its ok i wan to kiss him" I say looking at Jake with flirty eyes and a small smile
"REALLY YOU CANT BE SEROUS ANA! YOU WANT TO KISS THAT ASSHOLE" Christian yells making his way over to me.
" Fuck off Grey this is just one more thing i beat you too" he smirks then comes from behind the counter "pucker up baby" she says pushing his lips out leaning towards me. I put up one finger telling him to wait one minute, I turn to Mia and ask if she could record it for me.
"I don't want him to forget this" I say seductively. Jake looks a bit thrown off by my request but shakes it off, and Mia is confused but complies
"Pucker up baby I promise you won't forget this" I say
"OH trust me hun you won't be thinking about anything but my lips" He leans in and as soon as his eyes are closed I ball my hand into a fist pull back as hard as I can and punch him as hard as I can right in the nose. He stumbles back with one arm out and the other holding his bloody nose.
"YOU BITCH" He screams at me. I quickly grab his outreached arm twist it behind his then I place my foot in front of his and give him a little push and he falls face first and his mouth and nose on the edge of the counter then smack it on the floor. I put my knee in his back and pull his arm up in between his shoulder blades he groans in pain and tries to wiggle out from under me but the more he struggle the more pressure I put on my knee in his back.
"I am a lady you will treat me with respect and when I tell you no I mean NO! Do you understand me?" Jake just moans and tries to escape so I twist his arm a little more.
"I said do you understand me?"
"YEEEESSS" He cries out "Now get off me "
"NO! You will never talk to Kate or any female in such an awful way and you will apologize to her now!"
"OK OK I'M SORRY NOW PLEASE GET OFF ME!" I stand up and he crawls over to a near by table
"Next time you disrespect me or any of my friends i will make sure that video goes viral. I wonder how your football team mates would react watching this video. Their precious team caption can't handle his self against a 5'3, 110 pound girl. "
"You would dare" he says trying to hide the fear in his voice but failing horribly
"Try me and by the way my name is ANA not HANNA get it right" I say with the most serious face
" Fine" is all he says before heading to the boys bathroom. I turn around and I see everyone staring at me in shock with wide eyes and jaws to the floor. I walk up to Christian and give him a wink and say" told you I had quit I temper " and I walk to the door, I stop in the thresh hole when I realize everyone is still in the same place in a state of shock.
" You guys coming or am I getting food alone?" and I walk out
