Chapter 8
Ana POV
I wake up at the sound of my iPhone buzzing. I take it of my nightstand and read the texts Kate send me. Before responding I go to the kitchen.
After having breakfast I grab my iPhone again and read the messages.
First: R U awake ?
Than: Can U answer please ?
Lastly: Can U call José to take the pics today ? Our photofrapher can't.
I sigh and call José who picks up immediately. "Anastasia Steele, how have you been ?" I smile. José is like a brother to me. We're not as close as Niko and I, though. Niko is a cousin of Kate and he's been here more than in his own appartment, he goes to school with us but has not got any of the same classes. José and I are like really close but compared to Niko and I, we are people who just know each other. Niko and I are inseparable, we went to High School together and we were alway together, after a while we were called the Siamese Twins. "I've been good, you ?" I can hear his smile through the Phone. "I've been great ! What can I help you with, Steele ?" I laugh. "You know me too well. You know my brother has done this interview with Christian Grey right ?" He sighs. "I do, you're going to take pics today, your photographer can't and now you want me to do it." I am surprised but then I already know it. "Kate called you." I can still hear his smile. "Yes, she did. I will do it." I smile. "Great !" He smiles. "One condition." My smile fades. "Not great. What ?" He laughs. "Don't worry. Just your History notes. I can't find them." I smile. "I'll bring them with me. I'll see you at Heathman." We say goodbye and hang up.
I pull up in front of Heathman. I'm the first one here so I go to the lobby to the chairs. I sit down and two minutes later Christian sits next to me, in suit and tie. "My, my, Christian Grey. You look handsome." He smiles. "Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." I blush. "I got to go up. You'll get a suite." I smile. "Okay, I have to wait for the others. I'll see you in a bit." He stands up and leaves.
Ten minutes later I'm joined by Cam and Kate. One minute after them José joins us. I stand up. "I'll see where we'll need to be." I go to the front desk. When the woman behind the desk asks me for who we're here we are indeed sent to a suite. We go to the suite and set up. José looks at a guitar. "Is that a guitar ?" I nod. "Pretty Obvious, isn't it ?" He smiles and grabs it. He starts playing a melody I recognize the second he starts playing. He starts humming and I sing to it. We sing it to the end. It's a Spanish song I have no clue about.
A few minutes later we finish setting up as my brother, Christian and the Taylor guy walk in. I take a few try out pictures of the guitar and decide the camera is good to go. I nod to Kate and she ushers Christian in front of the camera, I laugh and shake my head. I stand next to Cam.
After the shoot, Cam and Christian talk while José, Kate and I clean up. José and Kate are, quietly, argueing. I smile at Cam and put two fingers in my mouth pretending it's a gun and 'shoot' in my mouth. Cam laughs and shakes his head. Christian looks at me and I smile sweetly at him. Cam and I both burst out in laughter. Christian and Taylor look weirdly at us and we have to laugh more.
After packing up I grab my bag and go outside. In the lobby I get stopped by Christian. "Coffee ?" I nod. "A quick one. I still have to go to work today."
We go to the coffee shop from the hotel. We sit at the window with our lattés. "He likes you." I look at him. "Who ?" He rolls his eyes. "Like you don't know." I shake my head. "I seriously don't know who you're talking about." He laughs and shakes his head. "The photographer." I look at him, surprised. "José ? No, he's like a brother to me. He knows that." He looks at me. 'I drove past your house this morning. Who as the guy coming out of your appartment ?" I think. "Niko. An old friend and Kate's cousin. He's like Cam to me. We used to be called the Siamese Twins in High School and before you ask if he's into me. He can't be. He's engaged. Or at least, he will be, is she says yes, which she probably will, that's why he was at my appartment this morning, he's planning his proposal." He's jealous, I can tell. Why ? "Right, that doesn't mean he can't have feelings for you." I shake my head. "Trust me, he doesn't have feelings for me." He looks at me and I look at the clock. I still have two minutes. "I'm telling you, they both want to get into your panties." I sigh and roll my eyes. I get my bag and get up. I walk over to his side and kiss him on his cheek. I pull him in for a hug and whiper in his ear, "I want to bet they're not the only ones." I let go of him and go outside.
