Okay y'all Christian is creepy...even in the books. You have to keep in mind that in books he is a weirdo. In the books he even had a file of stuff on her and stared at her picture he brought. So what I am writing isn't that far off to obsession over a person. This story will be HEA. Please enjoy the ride there.
hrsmith91- I grew up with nothing but older sisters...this is the nosiness that I had to live with
Christian
I wake up with a sense of dread. I am not going to be seeing her today. I don't like this feeling at all. I wake up and do my normal routine. Then I just sit and look at my closet door. I have nothing else to do today. Did I watch sports on the weekend? Do I even like sports? Do I go online? Do I go to the library and study? I can not for the life of me recall what I used to do in my free time. I have known this girl for only one week and she has captured my entire life and is holding it hostage.
I just sit there for about half the day before my mother calls me downstairs.
"Christian there is a phone call for you on the landline" She yells from the door stairs living room.
I walk over to the deserted kitchen area and lift the phone to my face. "Hello?"
"Hey Christian! What are you up to today?" Ana's voice comes through the phone. I can literally feel myself shudder with excitement.
"Nothing, you?" I couldn't possibly be more pathetic.
"Me too. Wanna just talk on the phone for a bit?" she asks. She wants to talk to me?! YES!
"Yeah...um but could you call me on my cell? With this being the house phone anyone could just pick up the line and hear what we are saying.
"Oh okay what is your number?" she asks. I tell her and then we hang up. I then sprint to my room and grab my phone as it starts to ring.
"Is this your cell number? So I can save it in my phone." I ask first and foremost. I want to be able to text her when I want.
"No I don't have a cell phone. This is actually my house phone." Oh that will not do.
"Oh okay so whats up with you?" I want to know as much about her as possible.
Then we are off. We talk about everything and nothing at the same time. I find that she loves chocolate Teddy Grams and her favorite movie is a movie called Fear with Mark Wahlberg. I need to find out more about him. I tell her my favorite shows that I like to watch. Then we find that we both love the show Big Bang Theory.
**beep beep**
I look down at my phones screen. I am at one percent.
"I am sorry I have to go now Ana. I have to charge my phone." Wow we have been on the phone for about three hours.
"Oh its cool I have to make dinner anyways. Hey you know what?! Why don't you come over here for dinner?" She asks
I think I may have died and gone to heaven.
"Yeah yeah what time is dinner?" I need to get the time before my phone dies.
"Seven okay for you?" she asks
"I will be there." I get out before my phone completely dies on me. I look at the clock and see that I have to be there in three hours. I am looking forward to it and reconsider what I am wearing. I need to wear a collared shirt so her dad doesn't see my neck. Mmm. My neck. I didn't want my family to see because I knew they would ask questions.
...
Slowly but surely I go through my closet and finally decide to where a blue stripped button up and start to head out of my house.
"Christian where are you going?" My mother says to me as I walk through to go to the garage.
"I am having dinner at a friend's house." This would be a first time for me. I never went anywhere or did anything that included something about friends.
"This isn't about the fighting is it?" she says in a worried grasp.
"What I am doing tonight has nothing to do with that mother." I move past her and get in my car and drive away. On my way though I stop at a bakery to pick up something for desert. I don't like going to places empty handed.
I have never done anything like this before. This is something completely other in my mind. I have never cared how people saw me or treated by existence but for Ana I want her to see my best because she has also seen my worst. She seems to have a happy life here with her dad. I want them to like having me around because this is a place I want to be.
I pull up to her house in my car and get the box of pastries and walk up to her front door. I am so nervous that my hand is sweating. I raise my hand and knock on the door.
The door opens and Mr. Steele is there.
"Well hello there Mr. Grey come on in." We is wearing what he normally does at school. Button up with pants. I can't tell if they are dress pants or not in this light.
"Hello to you too Mr. Steele. You have a lovely home here." In all honesty it is nice to see it during the day. I am less likely to bump into something with the light on.
"Ana is finishing up dinner now." He gestures for me to sit down in the living room.
"I brought pastries for desert." I hand him the box nervously
"Oh that is very nice of you. I will hand them over to Ana. Give me a second." He leaves me and disappears into the kitchen.
He quickly comes back into the room with water and what looks like pop.
"Here have a drink." He hands me the water. "So how are you today?"
"I am doing well sir. I really didn't do much in all honesty. I had already done my homework. I just talked with Ana on the phone this afternoon and she invited me over." I shrug my shoulders.
"Oh well its good that Ana is making friends here. She tended to keep to herself at her other school." He says while drinking.
"Yeah me as well. She really is a big support in art class. In return... well I hope I wasn't being too forward. But she told me that the other guys in school were being a bit vulgar and disrespectful to her and I straightened it out for her." I wanted him to know I would take care of her. I think this would help me.
"What do you mean they were being vulgar to her?" Mr. Steele leans forward. He looks angry. I was too at those boys so hopefully he will see what I did was for her.
"You know men our age, sir. Vulgarity is the only language they speak. She merely told me they were coming onto her a bit strong and regarding her as if she were just a commodity. Lets just say I showed the guys who was boss. I gave them a warning and so far they are listening." Although I did rough up a few guys in the process I don't think I did anything too harsh in my mind. Hell all of them are still alive.
Mr. Steele sits back in his chair. "Does she know what you did for her?"
"No sir and to me she doesn't have to. From what I have seen she wouldn't have liked the help in this way. I wanted her to be comfortable where and those guys weren't helping." I knew her ego and stubbornness would get in the way.
"You are right there. She wouldn't have told anyone especially with me being a teacher there. She wouldn't want to be seen as a teacher's pet even though she is my daughter." He nods to himself in deep thought.
"I didn't want this to be the way she remembers this school. Those guys deserved what happened. I can't tell a teacher, no offense, but a lot of what we do is between students and we hardly reach out to teachers. But I made sure she was spoken for, so no other boys at the school will try a thing on her." I want him to pick up what I was putting down. I want to be in the boyfriend slot.
"Oh so you think you are the boy who should be in my daughter's life?" he says with a smile on his face. I need to answer with truthfully.
"What I think doesn't matter. Ana has every right to say no and push me away. If the only thing that comes from this is our friendship...wells that is more than what I started with. Beggars can't be choosers." I say and I am taken aback by my honesty.
"Well Mr. Grey you are one smart boy." He nods and laughs to himself.
"Dinner is ready." Ana comes into the room and she is wearing a large blouse and leggings. Her mass amounts of hair are tied up in a very messy but still wonderful bun. She leads us to a dinner table and it has Mexican enchiladas and a mass of side dishes and toppings.
I go and pull her seat out for her so she could sit. She blushes and sits and then I take my seat across from her. We quickly dig in and we get into a groove of none important topics. In all honesty I didn't want to talk about a political struggle or what is happening in oil prices. I slowly become more comfortable and at one point during dinner it is completely silent. They both seem completely okay with just sitting and eating.
The dinner went by real well in my humble opinion. I have never had to have dinner with anyone but family and some occasional forced dinner for charity or business. Eventually Mr. Steele excuses himself for a nightcap and that leaves Ana and I in the living room drinking iced tea.
"So how did you get my house number?" I was curious
"Oh my dad was given the phone tree thing you guys have at school. And your mother's house was the only Grey on there so I decided to give it a shot." She shrugs her shoulders.
"Oh well then thank you for the invitation. I had a lot of fun here tonight." I am grateful as I can be.
"Me too I had fun and got to spend time with you on a weekend." She smiles at me with the brightest blue eyes that I had ever seen.
Eventually Mr. Steele interrupts our conversation saying it was getting late and that I needed to go home.
I shake his hand on my way out the door.
"It was nice getting to know you sir." I shake his hand firm and just.
"You too boy. Keep looking out for her." He mumbles the last part of the sentence and I smile. He is with my being with her.
Ana was in the hallway waiting to see me off when he told me.
"Okay have a good night." She shakes my hand and kisses my knuckles.
I smile and kiss her cheek.
…
The ride home was quiet and happy.
My family is scattered about. Mia was in the theater room. Elliot is no doubt out with friends. My father is in his study judging by the closed door and the light coming from underneath.
I walk into my room and see my mother.
"What is this Christian?"
OKAY LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
WHAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSE BY HIS MOTHER?
