Chapter 7

Tuesday, September 19th, 2017

After tossing and turning in new bed I finally got up to empty apartment. Christian is probably at work. I decide to make some breakfast and then pack my bags for trip to Montesano and Savannah. I decide to call my dad.

„Annie!" Ray answers his phone.

"Hi daddy! Change of plans! I'm coming tomorrow." I smile.

"I'm glad to hear that pumpkin!" he says excitedly.

"We had an accident at bookshop so I have free month until everything is renovated. I'll be in Montesano in the morning and I'll stay with you till Sunday. Then I'll leave at Monday to visit mom and Bob in Savannah." I explain.

"Ok Annie. Are you taking Wanda?" he asks anxiously.

"Yes, but I'd like that you find a buyer if it's possible. She is not reliable that much anymore." I explain.

"Be safe honey, see you tomorrow!"

"See you daddy! Bye!" and with that I hang up.

Next I decide to call my mom. After a long ringing, she finally answers.

"Anastasia! What a nice surprise!" she answers happily.

"Hi mama! I'm coming to Savannah on Monday!" I tell her and then explain all about accident at work.

"Oh baby girl, we are going to have so much fun! We can do spa, do our nails and hair!" I can hear that she is extra excited.

"Sure." I exhale.

"Oh honey, we need some mother and daughter time!" I can hear in her voice that she misses me.

"I miss you mom! I can't wait to see you!" I really miss my mom, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

"I miss you too my baby! Monday will come quickly." she tells me.

"Bye mama!" I feel tears in my eyes.

"Goodbye my girl!" and she hangs up.


It's late afternoon and I make some mac and cheese. I leave some for Christian too. It can be heated so it will be good for dinner. I eat with gusto. Mac and cheese is one of my favorite food. After lunch I load dishwasher, clean kitchen and decide to do some laundry. I need some clothes for Savannah's hot weather. It takes me some time to program washing machine and soon my clothes are washed and dried. While I fold clothes I hear voices. Christian must have come at home. I go to living room and I see Christian. And Leila. Christian is telling her that he needs to take a shower and change and then they can go out. Then he leaves to his room. She makes herself comfortable at couch. I enter living room and her eyes go wild.

"Well, well…Christian has a roommate! I have been informed about it today!" she says to me angrily.

"It's temporary until I find my own place." I say calmly as I can.

"You got to be kidding, right?" she is furious, "Don't say that you hope to take Christian from me!"

Now she is yelling. I wonder if Christian can hear her yelling.

"I don't want anything with Christian! I'm not some relationship wrecker!" I yell back at her, "I needed a place to stay until I find my own place!"

"I'm watching you little girl. If you try something you'll regret the day you were born!" she threatens me.

"If you feel threaten by 'little girl' than perhaps you don't have ability to keep your boyfriend!" take that you bitch.

"What is going on?" Christian comes out from his bedroom. He is dressed in light blue button up and dark blue jeans. His hair still lightly damp from shower. Can he get any hotter?

"Everything is fine baby. Your new roommate and I just had a little chat! You know…girl talk!" she smiles her fake smile.

"I made some mac and cheese for dinner but I see you are heading out. Have a good evening." I say to them and leave to my room.

"Bye Ana" I hear Christian's voice.

As I approach my room I hear muffled voices. It sounds like they are arguing but I close my door and lie on my bed with tears streaming down my face.

Alarm clock wakes me up at seven a.m. and I go directly to bathroom to get ready for my trip to Montesano. My bags are already packed so I just need to grab something to eat. I really need some time with Ray. He is so calming. He thinks that tea is the best cure for everything. And I really need to put some space between me and Christian because I can see myself falling for him and falling hard.

I take my bags and go straight to kitchen to get some granola and yoghurt for breakfast and some fruit for my trip. I leave my bags near kitchen island and go to the fridge. There is a note on a fridge attached by magnet.

Thank you for mac and cheese. It's my favorite. Have a safe trip. C

Oh my God! A note from Christian! He liked my mac and cheese! It's his favorite! I can't believe it. I'm so happy right now that I jump through the kitchen with Christian's note pressed to my chest. And then I realize that I have already fallen for him. I feel happy and sad at same time. Happy because this small gesture, this small note has made my heart melt and sad because he is in relationship with that snake Leila.

I decide to leave him a note. I will be gone for almost three weeks.

I'm glad you liked mac and cheese. It's my favorite too. See you in two and half weeks. Ana

Wanda was still parked in front of Kate's apartment so she picked me up to get my car. Drive to Montesano went pretty well since I was afraid that Wanda would broke down in the middle of my trip. I finally arrived to Montesano after two hours long drive. Ray welcomed me with barbecue for lunch. At the evening we sat on porch drinking lemonade and talking about anything and everything. He also gave me birthday present. It was white gold bracelet with two tiny pendants, one was in shape of heart with pink Swarovski crystals, other one in shape of letter "A". I just love it, I will never take it off. I asked him if he could find a buyer for Wanda since she is not reliable for long distance drives anymore.

Next four days with my dad have passed pretty quickly. We went fishing and bowling, I made home cooked meals every day because Ray is not a great cook. If I don't make him some meals to put in freezer he would probably only eat canned soup or toast. We talked on porch every evening before going to bed. I really missed my dad. He calms me down and I just needed that. I didn't tell him about Christian yet because I don't know what to say.

At Monday morning dad took me back to Seattle with his pickup, straight to Sea Tac to catch my plane to Savannah. I promised him that I'll visit him as soon as I can. Luckily he didn't say that he would visit me in Seattle. At this moment I don't know how to explain him that I don't live with Kate anymore.

Flight to Savannah went well and as soon I passed all controls I was welcomed with a strong hug of my mom. The moment she hugged me I started to cry. I haven't seen my mom for six months. We held each other for five minutes. Me crying like a baby and she holding me and stroking my hair.

"My baby girl. You are finally here! Let me see you!" she looks at me like she expected that I have grown from the last time we saw each other.

"Mom, I have stopped growing since I was seventeen!" I laugh.

"But you are still my little baby!" she hugs me again.

Then I notice Bob, standing behind my mom and I greet him with a hug.

"I'm glad you are finally here!" Bob tells me.

"Me too Bob, me too!" I smile at him.
