PHOEBES POV
The alarm goes off on my phone and I groan! I untangle myself from James who is still fast asleep and switch it off.
Last night after Teddy agreed to take the girls home we went straight to VIP bathroom and had the best stand and slam, ever! We stayed on at the club for another hour and then went the nearest motel and checked in, by the time we had got each other out of our systems the sun was already up and now looking at the time it's sill only 9:30, way to early but we need to get up.
I look over at my sleeping sex machine and smile. I love him so much it hurts. We never intended to keep our relationship a secret this long but if we had told our parents sooner they would have stopped us doing 99% of the things we used to do, don't get me wrong I know that the parents will be ecstatic when we tell them, after all James and I are a match made in billionaire offspring heaven, but it's be fact that we have kept it from them so long is the thing they are going to be mad about but we will cross that bridge next week when we tell them.
Judging by the sun coming through the window it's going to be a nice day and I know how I want to spend the day with my man, I roll back over so I am laying right next to him with our faces only a few inches apart.
I start tickle the tip of his nose with a strand of my hair and his face scrunched up and he swats my hand away, I do it again around his eye lids and again he swats my hand away. On my third attempt he scares the shit out of me when he screams making me fall from the bed
"BOO!"
"AHHHHH" I fall back and land on the floor with a thud, taking the sheet with me, I feel like my heart will be out of my chest. I look up and he's looking over the edge of the bed with a shit eating grin
"Fuck you!" I pant out at him
"Oh baby it's a dirty job but I'm sure I can rise to the challenge" he grins.
He is completely naked looking all sleep tousled on the bed and I am naked, wrapped in a sheet, with a vary bad case of just fucked hair, on the floor!
"Why did you scream? You scared the shit out of me"
"Because you were doing that annoying tickling thing to me"
"Your a bully" I pout
"but I'm your bully and you love me"
"Yes I do, even though you snore like a fucking lumberjack!"
"and I love you even though your toenails are like an inch long and are as sharp as fucking razor blades" I giggle at that because it's true, Ava and I have been meaning to go get a mani pedi each for 3 weeks now but we just haven't had the time
"I don't feel like going back home and spending the day acting like you don't turn me the fuck on by just moving so do you want to take my new boat out?" I ask him with my puppy dog look that I know he can't refuse
"Sounds like a plan baby, will you sunbathe naked?" he wiggles his eyebrows at me
"Yes I will, that means we need to get up though and have a shower but I must say, this floor is surprising comfy" I literally don't want to move
"What time is it?"
"A little after 9:30"
I watch with wide eyes as he slides off the bed and lands right on top of me, bracing his weight with his arms
"Check out isn't until 11am, since you like this floor so much, perhaps we can add it to our very long list of "Places we've Banged"" he says as he starts kissing my neck.
The list is real, he started it the day after we first had sex and every time we do it some place new he writes it down, He said that one day he is going to make a canvas with all the locations written on it and frame it. Must be a guy thing I suppose.
"That list is getting vey long Mr Cross"
"Baby it's only gong to get longer, now, less talking, more sexing"
After our hotel romp, which was rudely interrupted by a maid telling us we had missed check out, we made our way down to the marina.
I called my mom first and told her I was taking my new boat out with James and she sounded really weird and asked what time we would be home and if Ava would be with us, I didn't lie and told her no, Ava is meeting up with a few friends today and she sounded almost mad! Why I haven't got a clue.
I love my boat and I love sailing, even though this boat doesn't have a sail!, it's a baby yacht, completely motorised, it's about 30foot long, has 2 on board bedrooms, kitchen, seating area and office, on deck it has a hot tub and a trampoline so you can jump into the water. I fucking love it! When it came to naming it I though long and hard but in the end I called it The Amigo.
I drive it out the marina standing at the wheel with James standing behind me with his arms wrapped around me, I take us right out to the middle of the sound and drop the anchor, we change into our swim suits and dive into the water which is freezing so we get straight back out again, as I am drying my hair with a towel James spins me around in his arms and kisses me deeply
"I was promised naked sunbathing so you won't be needing this" with one tug he has the knot undone on my bikini top and it falls to the floor, upon seeing my naked breast his eyes get darker as he just stares at them
"You going to just stare at them all day cowboy or are we going to play"
He doesn't answer he just picks me up so my legs are wrapped around him and he lays me down on the deck and has his way with me.
CHRISTIANS POV
Stupid fucking incompetent bastards! Gideon and I had to come down to the marina this morning because yesterday some stupid fucker backed their boat up into the side of the Evastashia and scratched the hull to pieces! I think the marina manager almost pissed himself when I ripped into him, thankfully Gideon calmed me down before I picked up the beady eyed little fuck and threw him in the water.
"Come on Christian, let's take the motorboat out on the water and do some fishing" I was always the hotter headed of the 2 of us, he just took it in his stride but I bitched and moaned until it was out of my system. I feel better now.
We take the boat out to the middle if the sound and have a beer, do a little fishing and talk about everything from the company to our wives and kids to the upcoming baseball game between the Mariners and the Yankees.
"Hey pass me the binoculars would you" he asks while shading his eyes from the sun
"Why what is it?" I pass him the binoculars and turn around to see what he is looking at grabbing the second pair of binoculars for myself
"isn't that Phoebes new boat?" he asks me while adjusting his view
I look out at the boat which is about half a mile from us and check the name on the side, I haven't seen her new new boat yet but I know it's called The Amigo and sure enough written on the side in Gray writing with a blue lighting bolt under it is the name.
"Yep that's it, I don't see them on deck though"
"their in the water, iv told James not to swim out here it's too dangerous...there getting out now thank god"
I will be having words with my daughter tonight she knows the rules, no swimming in the sound with out proper supervision. I watch through the binoculars as Phoebe starts to dry her hair and then James spins her around so her back is to us and he kisses her! Like really kisses her
"WHAT THE FUCK!" we both say at the same time, I throw the binoculars into the water when I see that little fucker remove my daughters bathing top
Gideon and I just look at each other in shock! How long has this been going on? Does Ana know? She better not have kept this a secret from me
"Did you know about that?" I point towards the boat just as Gideon starts the engine of ours and heads back to the marina
"Why are you going back we need to speak to them" I yell
"you need to calm down bro, if you go over there now you will say something you will regret, here take over and I will call Eva" I take the wheel from him and he makes the call
"Angel...yeah we are on our way back...are you with Ana? ...I want the truth now Eva did you know that James and Phoebe seem to be together,...,.,...since when?...Im Not, Christian is...call them and get them back to the house...ok love you too...bye" he hangs up and then rubs his face
"Well?" I growl
"The girls found out yesterday"
" What the fuck and she didn't tell me! I am going to spank the shit out of her!" I roar and he just smirks at me
"I always knew you were a kinky bastard Grey"
PHOEBES POV
I lay utterly sated in James arms as we lounge around in the master cabin, today has been great but I am pulled from my happy place by my phone ringing, I look down and it's my mom
"Hey mom"
"You need to get home now young lady"
"What why? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong, your father and Gideon just saw you and James HUMPING EACH OTHER ON THE DECK OF YOUR BOAT,,"
My face must drain of colour because James jumps up and looks at me
"Get home now Phoebe we need to talk about this, we are not angry...well your dad is but we just want the truth about up you and James" she says softly, I think she's sorry for her outburst and I have never heard her say the word humping before
"ok" its a little over a whisper as I hang up
"what's wrong Pheebs?"
"our dads saw us earlier on deck...that was my mom, they want us home"
"Ok, it's going to be ok baby, we were going to tell them next week any way, come on we better not keep them waiting
Oh my god I think I am going to pass out! We just pulled into my parents driveway and my heart is beating out of my chest. I know that we were going to speak to them next week but that would have been on our terms. I was prepared for that, I am not prepared to have to sit down with my father who is furious after seeing me practically fuck James on the boat
"You ready for this baby?"
"Nope, you?"
"Actually...yeah I am, it is about time the world knows about us Phoebe Grace" I smile up at him and pull him down for a quick kiss. I take a big breath and we make our way into the house, he gives my hands a squeeze and we walk into the family room. My mom and dad are sat on one sofa, opposite them are Eva and Gideon which only leaves the smallest sofa which is at the end of the bigger ones making a U shape. We take our seat and I almost giggle when I see that my mom had laid out snacks. Always the good hostess.
"Have you both had lunch?" my mom asks
"Yeah we ate on the boat..." I break of and then blush, my mother does not need to know I was hand fed my food by a naked James!
"Ok enough of the chit chat, how long has this been going on?" Eva ask and I know see the game plan. My mom and Eva will ask questions and my dad and Gideon will just listen and try and keep their anger in check. Yeah, good luck with that. James and I agreed on the way over that I would do all the talking so I take a big breath and start talking.
"Well, you are not going to like this answer but...James and I have been together since we were 12"
"WHAT! 12! Are you fucking kidding me!" and there goes my fathers temper
"Christian sit down and calm down I will handle this" my mom pulls him down and he crosses his arms and just glares at us
"Why have you never told us?" my mom asks
"Because at first we knew we were to young and we were only kids it was nothing serious, holding hands in the school yard, a peck on the lips, that kind of stuff but then when we got older we knew that you would not have let us spend half as much time together as what we did when you thought Ava was with us...and then college...we knew how you would feel about us living together as something more than friends" I think I answered that one ok.
"Listen Pheebs and I we were going to tell you next week but we just thought that you had to much stress with the Coping together ball so we wanted to get you in the right frame of mind, Christian, i know this has come as a shock but I love your daughter more than life it self, I will never harm her and I have the upmost respect for her" I knew James would pipe in at some point, I squeeze his hand and he then raises it to kiss my knuckles
"That is very admiral Mr Cross, but answer me this, how old was my daughter when you first slept together?" oh shit!
"Don't answer that James, Dad that is none of your business"
"Christian I will ask Phoebe that question when it is just me and her. And she will answer me" my mom shots me a no nonsense look. I am ok with telling her later but I have no intention of telling the whole room we were 15 when things turned sexual, my dad would have a heart attack where he stood.
"How have you both covered this up all these years? And son why did you let us think you were gay?" Gideon is calm and collected
"Dad I am sorry that we lied to you, really I am, If we had told you when we were say 17 that we were together and then asked if Phoebe, Ava and I could go camping just the 3 of us you would have said no, and I never ever said I was gay, you all came to that conclusion, It's not like I could say "Hey my girlfriend is your goddaughter" you all thinking that made it easier for Phoebe and I to be together" he gets a small head nod from Gideon and I think...think...we have him on side
"What happens if you too break up? You will be working together, it will be so awkward" Eva ask
"We wont break up Eva"
"How do you know? Your are both only 21, forever is a long time kids"
"It is but I have loved James since I was 8 years old, I know that sounds weird but it is the truth, this is not a passing fling, we have been together for years and I plan to spend the rest of my life with him" she gives me a small smile and I know we now have her on side, I can see that my parents have relaxed a little now having heard us both say we love each other
"ok well, I cant speak for everyone else but...as long as you are happy, I am happy" my mom gives me a smile. YES! Oh my god I think we will be ok!
"Is there anything else that we need to know?" Eva asks. I look at James and he nods his head, moving a little closer to me on the sofa
"Well...yeah there is one more thing..." before I can say anything more we hear the front door bang and the unmistakable sound of Ava,
"hello anyone home?" she bounds into the family room like a tornado but stops dead when she see's how we are all sitting, her eyes then dart to my fingers which are entwined around James, she knows what we have just told them, she is like my aunt Kate that way, nothing gets past her but she asks anyway
"Whats going on?"
"They found out we are together and we are filling in all the details" I smile over at her and she screams
"REALLY? Oh thank god! Does this mean I can stop being your excuse?" It makes me and James chuckle when she says this. We could never go away on a romantic weekend with out her in case someone found out so she has been everywhere with us, normally she would bring a boy so it was fine but sometimes she was on her own and she gets bored fast
"Yes really, you are officially no longer the third wheel" James says, she runs over and hugs us both, then she plonks her self down between my mom and dad, grabbing some grapes, chips and dips of the table that my mom made.
And then she goes off on a tangent, talking a mile a minute and before I can shut her up, she lets slip our biggest secret.
"Finally it took you both long enough...oh my god aunt Ana this dip is the bomb...So I am off the hook for this road trip? I love you both but come on! I have spent way to much time over the last few years in stupid little bed and breakfast's where people look at me like a I am a weirdo...seriously remember when we went to Connecticut and that old woman thought we were a threesome and she threw us out?...Oh my god this dip...I had to cover for you both all these years, I mean come on, I had to go on your honeymoon with you and that was all types of weird...those French bastards looked at me like I was a alien "Mr and Mrs Cross welcome back...and miss Grey... We have a table for 1 all set up for you at the back...I wanted so bad to punch him in the face the snooty bastard...ok this dip is coming home with me, how do you make it?" she finally stops talking only to look up to 4 horrified faces
"YOUR MARRIED?" all 4 of them scream at the same time and they jump to their feet, James pulls me up and he wraps his arms around me. Ava realizes her mistake and is quick to make it right
"Oh my god Phoebe, James I thought you said they knew?"
"We have not got that far yet Av's, it is ok though, you did not know" I try and make her feel better but she now has tears in her eyes
"WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET MARRIED? ARE YOU PREGNANT?" my dad is now screaming, so my mom literarily pushes him back down on the sofa and then sits on him.
"Ok everyone just calm down and we will tell you, and no, Phoebe is not pregnant" James is still so calm but I am now feeling drained and I want this over with.
"James you will answer me right now or so help me god! How long have you and Phoebe been married!" Eva is normally so composed but she is now shaking with temper
"We got married 2 years ago... In Las Vegas" he whispers the last part
"You got married when you were 19! Are you both out of your fucking minds" Jesus did my mom just say that? I can't take it anymore I want this over with, so I stand up and take James hand
"Yes we got married. Yes we were 19. Were we too young? Probably. Do we regret it? Not for one single minute. I love James he loves me, marriage was the next step, we had already been together almost 7 years at that point and before I leave I want to get everything off my chest, you asked how old I was when we started sleeping together, I was 15, James was 15, he was my first and I was his and there has been nobody else for either of us, so don't you all sit there and act like what we have done disgusts you, mom you married dad 2 months after you met him and Eva, with all due respect but you married Gideon after 3 months and you have all been together for over 20 years, James and I have already been together 10 years, you all need to get on board with this, other wise I have no problem packing up our stuff and going back to New York because nothing any of you say will break us up of make us feel bad. We are leaving now to give you all time to adjust to this" James leads me towards the door but I have one more thing to say so I turn on my heels and face the whole room.
"One more thing...everything Ava said was correct but she forgot one thing, My legal name is Mrs Phoebe Grace Grey-Cross, I kept the Grey name"
