I hope everyone is enjoying the progression of this story. I've changed my mind, I will not just focus on Charlie, but Teddy. I have fallen in love with this character, so I'm going a little deeper into his character.

Christian POV

I love the feeling of waking up with my gorgeous naked wife on my chest after a long night of fucking and making love; it's just about the best feeling ever. I hate that our date night is over so soon and it's back to reality.

I look at the clock and discover that we've overslept and I need to wake Ana up so we can get home. As I attempt to untangle myself from my wife, my phone starts to vibrate, its Taylor.

"Yes Taylor," I say quietly not wanting to wake up Ana.

"Sir, I'm sorry to disrupt you, but there is a Mr. Warner at the front gate who is demanding to speak with you and refuses to leave until he talks to you in person. He says it's regarding Ted assaulting his son Gavin."

"Son of a bitch, I knew that kid was bad news. Taylor, tell him we are on our way home. We will be there in 15 minutes."

"Christian, what's wrong? Are the kids okay?"

"Yes, but apparently, Theodore got into with Gavin last night? Hurry up and get dressed and I will fill you in as we drive home."

This isn't the way I wanted to spend my weekend.

When we pull up to the driveway, the gate opens for both our cars to pull in and once. Once I get into the driveway, I get out and ask Mr. Warner to come inside and we head to my office.

"What's this all about?" I demand. Garrett Warner is owner of one of the largest real estate companies in Seattle and we've done some business with him in the past but it all stops now.

"You son assaulted my son last night at a party, and I want you to pay for all his medical bills. We've spent the evening and early morning in the emergency room trying to repair a severe broken nose, and now we're told he's going to need surgery."

"I'm sure that there is a good explanation for this," Ana said but Warner just looks at my wife and snorts.

That's it; I know Theodore must have a good reason to hit his asshole of a son. I've been tempted a few times, especially when I caught him touching Emily. Shit, I want to punch Garrett in the nose.

I call Ted downstairs via intercom, and he's in my office in less than a minute. He must have known that Gavin's father was here.

"Theodore, this is Mr. Warner, Gavin's father. Would you please be so kind to explain just what the hell happened last night?"

"Gavin and I got into a little disagreement and I punched him, well several times."

I know that Theodore must have a good reason for his behavior, however he better wipe that smug look off his face.

"Why did you hit my son?"

I don't like the tone that Warner is using with my son. I feel my hand start to twitch.

"I hit him because he was hurting Emily."

Now, all I can see red.

"What do you mean he was hurting Emily," Ana interjects.

"Emily found him upstairs at a party screwing my girlfriend."

"I see, well I think I should be going. I'm sorry for bothering you this early in the morning. I will see myself out."

I didn't see that coming. I was going to offer to pay the medical expenses but Warner manned up and saw that it was it son's fault, and that my son was just defending his sister's honor.

"Where do you think you're going?" I say to Ted who is trying to slip out the door.

"Back up to my room. It's been a long night."

"I should say so. I appreciate you watching out for your sister; however that doesn't mean you can just punch anyone you want."

Deep down I'm proud of my son, but I know that if I don't do something, Ana will have my balls.

"You're grounded for the rest of the week and if anything happens between now and Friday, you will be staying home and not going on your birthday trip to New Orleans."

"Really? That's not fair; I have a really big date tonight. I can't cancel on her. You have no idea what it took to get her to go out with me."

"Well, I'm sorry, but you heard your father."

Ted POV

Unbelievable, I can't believe they are grounding me.

I stomp back up the stairs like I'm five and knock on Ben's door. He still hasn't spoken to me since Addison's admission last night.

I open the door and he is just lying on his bed, still in the clothes he wore last night on top of his comforter.

I pull up a chair and sit down.

"Look, I've apologized. What do you want? You know that I would never do anything to hurt you. Shit, I don't even remember that happening. I'm sorry."

Ben is still looking up at the ceiling.

"I'm not mad at you; I'm pissed off at Addy. Why has she been holding onto this for so long?"

"Remember she was extremely drunk."

"That's not a good reason."

I don't know what else to say to him, I know he's hurt and feels betrayed.

"At least now I know why she hates you so much." He says starting to laugh.

I know now that Ben doesn't hate me. Don't get me wrong, I know he hates that his girlfriend gave me a blow job, but it was well before they started dating. If I would have remembered I probably would have told him.

"So, I need to ask you a favor?"

Finally he looks down at me.

"Really?"

"Hey, I need Mackenzie's phone number. I have to break our date tonight because I'm grounded."

"Wait a minute, stop, go back and explain."

I fill in Ben everything he missed after he left last night.

"Do you think it's a bad idea if I date Mackenzie?"

"No, I never did. I only said that to you because Addison made me. I think if you break your date though, it may crush her. She may think you only asked her out because you wanted to make her feel better."

Maybe he's right.

I decide to go to my parents' room and knock. I hear the shower going and I sure in the hell hope that they aren't in there together.

My mom comes to the door in her robe. Thank god.

"So, if I can't go out tonight can I have my tutor come here? We have our Physics final on Wednesday and I want to be prepared."

That's the angle. I never said who my date was with tonight, and they knew that I was being tutored.

"I don't see why not. Your father and I will be home tonight."

Why would that even matter? Oh well, she said yes.

When I get back to my room, I call Mackenzie.

I apologize for having to change the concept of our date, but I explain to her in great detail why.

She's okay with coming over to study and I even offer to come pick her up and she accepts. I still want to make this as much of a date as possible regardless of the fact that we will be spending the evening "studying" at my house; with my parents home.

I'm glad that my parents allow me to go work out with my baseball team. That keeps my mind off my big night with Mackenzie. I've never been this nervous for date, even though we will be studying. My parents even invited her over for dinner so I'm on the way to pick her up. I wonder what Mr. Stewart will say when I pick up his daughter.

Mackenzie actually lives closer to me than I thought. I run by her house almost every day with either my dad or Blankers.

When I knock on the door, I adjust my coat and try not to fidget with the two large floral bouquets I brought for Mackenzie and her mom. The one thing that that my dad impressed upon Ben and me when he talked to us about how to treat girls, was you are not only trying to date the girl, but also her parents and flowers go a long way.

Mr. Stewart answers the door. If I wasn't nervous before, I definitely am now.

"Mr. Grey, nice to see you again," he says extending his hand to me. I have to move both bouquets to one hand to shake his hand.

"You too sir."

"Mackenzie is upstairs; I will get her for you."

Mr. Stewart points me to the couch where his wife is seated and I walk over and introduce myself and hand her the flowers.

"Ranunculus, my favorite," she says and smiles.

"They're also my mom's favorites."

"That was very sweet of you. I'm going to put these in some water. Why don't you have a seat, Mackenzie will be right now."

"So how is life since the last time we spoke?" Mr. Stewart says as he comes back into the room.

"Great actually. I'm assuming you heard about my acceptance to North Carolina."

"I did hear something about that," he chuckles.

"So how is the team shaping up this year?"

"Looking real good, but I will say we are in dire need of a first basemen."

Well if that was any indication that he's interested in my skills that just made it obvious as I play first base.

"I hope you find what you are looking for."

"Me too."

"Hi Ted," McKenzie says coming into the family room. She looks amazing. Her hair is down again but curled and she isn't wearing her glasses. She's wearing a navy blue dress that hits just above her knee.

"You look beautiful," I say and hand her the flowers. I'm not sure if that was wise to say right in front of her dad, but I don't care it's the truth.

"Please make sure that McKenzie is home by midnight."

I will. I'm not going to tell him that my parents gave me until 11 because after all I'm still grounded.

As we walk out the front door, Mackenzie grabs her backpack, and I take it from her as we walk to the car with Blankers waiting with the door open.

We chat during the short trip back to my house; I know she's nervous too.

When we get back to my house I help her out of the car and we walk into the house. Mom is just finishing dinner while Emily and Charlie are setting the table, I don't see Ben anywhere.

I introduce my mom and dad who emerges from his office to meet Mackenzie.

"Do you mind if I go up and talk to Ben?"

"If you think it will help?"

"I'll take you up to his room," Emily says and I watch them walk up the stairs.

"Just a tutoring session, Theodore?" My dad says and it's partly true. "I wish I had a tutor that looked like that."

"I heard that Christian Trevelyan Grey."

I try to stifle my laughter, but Charlie beats me to it.

"All I meant is that she's a very pretty young lady, I don't know how much studying you are actually going to get done."

Ben POV

Addy has been calling and texting me non-stop all day. She's even resorted to calling our landline, but I'm not ready to talk to her. I don't know if I ever want to talk to her again.

I hear a little knock on the door that better not be Addy; I don't want to see her.

"Come in," I say and I see that it's Mackenzie.

"I know I'm probably the last person you want to see right now, but I can talk with you?"

I just nod and she comes in and closes the door behind her.

"First off, Addison did not ask me to come here. She's been calling me all day but I'm not ready to talk to her yet. However I think you need to know this. I've known about her past encounter with Ted all along. I accidentally walked in on them that night, and from the moment you started dating she has felt guilty about what she did. She never liked Ted in that way after you two started dating. She has made that very clear from the beginning. I think the reason she got so upset was because she cares for me, and didn't want to see me get hurt. Now, what I'm about to tell you, I beg you not to tell Ted. The only reason I'm telling you this is to help my best friend. At least I think I still consider her to be that after the way she spoke to me last night. Addison knows that I've liked Ted for a long time and when she found out that I was going to tutor him, she went into mama hen mode and felt the need to protect me. It's not like I can protect myself. She knows, well everyone knows, about Ted's romantic past and because I'm a virgin she didn't want Ted to do something that I didn't want him to do. Now, I'm rambling and I don't really remember what my point was before. I know I've said too much, but please give Addy a second chance. She really does love you and would never do anything to jeopardize that."

I don't even know what to make of Mackenzie's confession.

I take a few minutes to process everything before I reach over and grab my phone.

Ben: I am ready to talk.

Addison: Thank you so much. You can come over right now.

Ben: Not tonight, tomorrow.

Addison: Okay.

Ben: I will you at our spot at 10.

Addison: Thank you. I love you.

Ted POV

I can't believe it when Ben comes down the stairs shortly after Mackenzie made her way back down to the family room. Ben walks over to me, leans over the back of the couch and whispers into my ear.

"If you fuck this up with Mackenzie, I will do exactly the same thing you did to Gavin last night. She's pretty incredible."

What was that all about?

We have a great dinner with good conversation. Mackenzie is really holding her own with my dad. He asks what she plans on majoring in college, and says business. He practically gives her an internship this summer at GEH.

After dinner, I show Mackenzie to the library where we're going to study.

"Dad, what was that all about?" I ask grabbing us a couple waters.

"What are you talking about?"

"You didn't need to give her a job on my account."

"It wasn't for your benefit Theodore. I am really impressed by Miss Stewart, and that's why I gave her this opportunity. Plus, something you didn't know is that she already applied for the spot last month."

Now, I feel like an idiot

"Remember Theodore, not everything I do is for your benefit. Out of the four of you, I thought you were the one who one day would take over GEH, but that doesn't look like that's going to happen is it?"

I know that I've let my dad down in that respect. I'm intrigued with the idea of one day running GEH, but right now my life is all about playing ball.

After two hours of studying I think my brain is officially fried. If I don't have it now, I'm not going to know it. I'm grateful for Mackenzie and sacrificing her Saturday night studying with me.

"I've had a nice time, maybe next time we can do something besides studying?" I ask as Blankers drives her home at 10:45.

"When you ace your final, we can celebrate then," she says. Maybe that will give you some encouragement to really try to pass."

I look over and see her hand just sitting right in between us. I fight the urge to hold it. I don't know if I would be overstepping.

When we reach her house she goes immediately to open her door.

"Hang on," I say and race out my door so I can open her and help her out. I take the opportunity to take her hand out of the car and I don't let it go. We walk up the stairs to her front door.

"Thanks for coming over tonight."

"Anytime, and I really do think you're going to do fine on the final. You know if you need another study session, you can call me. You have my number. Well goodnight."

She's giving me the perfect opportunity to kiss her. I can't fuck this up. Shit what should I do?

Instead of kissing her lips, I kiss her cheek.

When I pull back I know she's disappointed, but I want to start new and not go for the obvious.

As I get back into the car and we pull away, Blankers looks in his rearview mirror right at me.

"You learn quickly young one."

Ben POV

I couldn't sleep last night; all I could think about was my meeting with Addison. I'm early when I get to the bluff above the city. This was the spot where I asked her to be my girlfriend and where I told her I loved her the first time.

Finally, Addison pulls in next to me. We look at each other and I motion for her to get into my car. Blankers is waiting the bottom of the hill watching the cars go by.

I could tell she's been crying all night. Her eyes are bright red and she looks she hasn't slept either.

"I'm glad that you texted me last night. I thought you never wanted to speak to me again."

"I was seriously considering it."

"What made you change your mind?"

"It was Mackenzie actually, when she came over last night to study with Ted we talked."

"You know you owe you her a huge apology too."

"I know, I've been trying to call her but she won't accept my calls either."

"Keep trying, I know she misses you."

"I just need to know one thing. Do you have a thing for me brother?"

"No of course not."

"Why didn't you tell me about this all these years ago?"

"What was I supposed to say, hey by the way, before we started dating I did that with your identical twin brother."

I guess she has a point there, but I will never admit to that.

"Benjamin, please tell me that we are going to be okay, I don't know what I would do without you."

"I'm not going anywhere. I just need some time."

"I will give you all the time you need. I love you so much."

"I love you too," I say and look over at her for the first time.

Addison practically jumps on my lap and starts to kiss me.

I want her so bad right now. I start to pull her shirt off and then she pulls mine off. The next thing I know she is unzipping my pants freeing my erection.

"I don't think I'm ready for you to do this," I say pulling away from her. Trust me; I'm not lost on the irony of the situation.

Instead I push her down against the seat and pull down her pants. I can't even wait to pull my pants all the way down before I pull out a condom and slide it on.

"I want you so bad," she pants as I plunge into her.

Fuck this feels so good, this is exactly what I needed.

After a few more thrusts I find my release. I can tell that Addy is nowhere near close to do so I start to rub before slipping a finger in between her very wet folds.

"Oh my god," She moans as I feel her body tighten around my fingers. I keep pulling my finger in and out until I feel her body start to buck.

We lay there for a few moments just staring at each other.

"Are we okay now?"

"Yes, but I swear to God that if you ever lie or keep anything from me there won't be another chance."

"Deal."

"Oh and one more thing. I'm asking that you to treat Ted with a little more respect, he's been nothing but nice to you and he you being mean to him. You've got to let it go. Also, he really likes Mackenzie and he's trying to be the good guy so please don't ruin this for me or Mackenzie."

"He does?"

"Yes, it's actually quite sweet, I've never seen like this ever. I think Mackenzie could be a good thing for him."

"But if he hurts…" She says but I stop her mid sentence.

"Don't worry I've already talked with him and he if does anything to Mackenzie I told him that I would kick his ass."
