TBOT Chapter 10
I can't believe it. Did Christian just say Elena? As in Alex's mother Elena? The one who is supposed to be in fucking Prison? How did the bitch troll get out?
I have never in my life been so confused and so pissed at the same time.
Everything happened so quick my mind could barley keep up. Within what felt like seconds Elliot was up and moving. He walked right past Elena to the front of the restaurant where I knew security was. How Elena got passed I have no idea but this is not going to end well. As Elliot walked out of the room Elena began to walk closer to the table. Kate started to stand but I placed a hand on her shoulder as I stood. Blocking the path to my family so Elena couldn't get close to them. And then it hit me, I am face to face with the woman who abused my man.
" this is a private event for family and I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I have a smile on my face but I can't hide the glare in my eyes, I so badly want to hurt this woman.
"Oh sweetheart I am family." The grin on her face makes me want to vomit on her. She raises her hand pointing her long freshly manicured finger at Alex and then Christian. "That is my son and that is my lover." I'm shaking. This is supposed to be my night and instead this bitch troll is trying to come in here like she owns the place. She honestly thinks she can waltz in here and act like Christian and Alex are hers? She's about to get a news flash.
"Mrs. Lincoln I don't know who you think you are but let me clarify a few things for you. First off you are not family, not in any sense of the word. Second, that little boy may be your blood but he is not and never will be yours. Third Christian is not and never has been your lover. He was a child that you abused and raped and took advantage of. You Elena Lincoln are no better than the gum on the bottom of my shoe. Now as I said before this is a family dinner." I watch as Taylor silently walks up behind Elena. "A dinner for my family, and my family only. Taylor here will show you the way out." With that I turn on my heel to walk back to the table but at the last minute I change my mind and turn to face Elena. "Elena, I understand you have some preconceived notions about what would happen once you left prison. I believe you honestly thought Christian and his son would be apart of your life. But I want to inform you that will not be the case. I am forever grateful to you for Alex as he is the most wonderful boy I have ever met. But what you did to Christian, the way Alex was brought into this world, is unforgivable. Therefore I ask that you leave my family alone and move on with your life. Christian and Alex are not yours and they never will be." Suddenly I feel a hand on my hip and I instantly know it's Christian.
"I couldn't have said it better myself. I believe you have been asked to leave and you will be hearing from my lawyer. Do not contact me, my son or my family again." Christian finishes by waiving Taylor to take the bitch troll away. Before anyone can say anything I am yanked from Christians side and find myself being bear hugged by Elliot. "You are my favorite person Ana Banana. You told that Pedo where to stick it! Oh my mother is going to love you!" I couldn't help but laugh at Elliot and his nickname for me. He has definitely been around Kate to pick up that one.
"Alright Elliot put my girl down before you decide to make her run, I think she has already had enough excitement for one day." Christian grumbles as he reaches out for me. His face is frowned and I instantly know he is upset. "Baby what's wrong?" I ask as I rub his face to smooth out the worry lines. With a sigh he leans into my hand. He whispers so only I can hear him, "First your mother announces that she is pregnant and then Elena shows up, I hate that your day turned into a day that has been overshadowed by others!" I giggle before I can stop myself. Christian glares at me like I have lost my mind. "Christian, hunny, what you fail to realize is my whole life I have been competing with my mother. She has always been more like the annoying sister who had to one up me than a mother. Ray raised me all on his own. My mother was always more about herself. When I was in elementary I wanted my ears pierced and so when we went to the tattoo shop downtown to have it done my mother decide to get her belly button pierced and to tell me how mine was nothing compared to hers. Even as a child my mother felt like she needed to top me. I just hope Bob can be to this baby what Ray is to me. And as for Elena, the bitch troll can show up as much as she wants. She didn't ruin anything for me. Elena being here just made me realize how lucky I am that no matter what happens or who doesn't like it, you and Alex are my world and I will fight until my last day for you both. I love you Christian. You and Alex have stole my heart and Elena can never take that away." I have tears streaming down my face as I hold Christians face and poor my soul out to him. There is no denying it. I love this man, I love his son, and nothing Elena Lincoln has to say will change that.
"You love me?" Christian whispers as tears prickle his eyes
"Yes Christian, even though it's only been a short time we have known each other I am in love with you." Suddenly his face breaks into the biggest grin I have ever seen and Christian pulls me close. Without a word he kisses me and it's like we are the only two people in the room. " I love you too Anastasia."
**** That Night ****
I am perfectly content laying in bed watching Christian sleep. After dinner Kate and Elliot went back to our apartment for a night of celebration, her family drove back to Seattle, Ray decided to head back to Seattle as well, as he had to get back to work tomorrow. As for my Mother and Bob we said our goodbyes after dinner and they will be going back to their home in Georgia first thing tomorrow morning. I decided to stay in the hotel with Christian and Alex and give Kate the place to herself. As we were putting Alex to bed he asked me to read him a story. We decided to read Dr. Seuss Oh, the Places Youll Go! We curled up in the Queen bed in the guest room of the hotel, Christian sat on the left side of the bed, Alex in the middle under the covers and me on his right. I opened the book and on the first page was a key. Typed on the page was the words
" Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!"
Under it in a beautiful script handwriting read
"Today starts where you will go. Will you come with us and make our new house a home?"
I quickly look up at Christian in disbelief. Is he asking me to move in with him?
"Christian does this mean what I think it does?" I ask barely above a whisper.
"Yes Ana it does. I love you and I love how you are with Alex. I just bought a new house, out of the city on the sound and I want to know if you will move in with us? Complete our family. Make our house a home. I have never wanted that with anyone. But I want it with you. So will you Anastasia Rose Steele Move in with me?"
