Finding the Unexpected

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION! I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS, THEY BELONG TO EL JAMES. THE STORY LINE DETAILS BELONG TO ME

CHAPTER 14

As I am taking a shower, I start to think this last week and a half has been crazy, but yet great. I consider Luke and Ms. T (as I now refer to Tristan all in good fun of course) as close friends and in such a short period. I was a worried on how Ms. T would react to me knowing that Luke and I were seeing other briefly, but my worries disappeared shortly when we met for dinner. I feel so out of place when I am around those two, being that good-looking should be a crime. How I even was able to catch his attention in the first place, will always puzzle me. The excitement I witnessed in Luke when he found out Ms. T was willing to move here as soon as possible, made me even happier for the both of them. Many would probably find our relationship odd, especially with everything Luke and I have done, but we are honestly comfortable with the sudden change of direction life has now planned for us. I still have no clue what life has planned for me and I can only wait and see what is in store for me.

I can hear Kate yelling out loud me for to hurry up. As I walk out the door I hear Elliot knocking at the door. The way those two make out as if they haven't seen each other in years are the most hilarious thing to witness.

"You do realize I am in the room?" I jokingly say with laughter.

"Yeah we know, you should just be glad we don't charge you." Elliot responds with a smirk.

"Sure … I feel like the lucky one. Wouldn't you both rather go to this volunteer thing by yourselves? I feel like a third wheel." I ask hoping to just stay home and relax on a Sunday.

"This isn't a date Ana and besides my mother invited you. I have been doing this since I was a kid and its actually fun." Elliot says with a smirk as if he is hiding something from me.

"So that means you just started?" I respond with laughter.

We finally arrive at the children's hospital and we are following Elliot as he looks for his mother.

"Sweetheart … thanks for picking up the girls. Hi Kate and Ana, how are you both doing?" Grace hugs us both.

"Hi Grace, I am doing well and how have you been doing?" I ask shyly, still feeling a little awkward from my last visit at her house.

"I am feeling wonderful and thank you for accepting my invitation. We can use all the volunteers we can get. I will show you all where you are needed at the moment." Grace replies with a smile.

Grace has me reading to the children that are able to get out of their beds and sit around me in the waiting room that is brightly decorated.

I am now waiting on Grace on telling me which area she wants me as the children are now eating. I am admiring the artwork on the wall and I hear an excited energizer bunny calling my name.

"Ana, oh how I have missed you; it has been ages since I have seen you." Mia responds excitedly as she hugs me.

"Mia, it hasn't been that long, but it's great seeing you as well." I laugh as I hug her back.

"What have you been up to? You didn't bring your eye candy with you?" Mia asks as she looks around excitedly.

"My eye candy … what are you talking about?" I ask confused.

"Luke silly …why didn't you bring him with you?" Mia asks with a smile.

"Mia … Luke isn't my eye candy and for your information we decided that we were better off as friends." I smile back at her with a smirk trying not to laugh at her comment.

"Oh … well at least you both remained friends. Oh shoot, I forgot my mom wanted me to get something for her, but I cannot remember what she wanted. Anyways, we need to meet up and have lunch. Bye Ana and I will be seeing you very soon." Mia rushes away with a smirk.

That look she gave me as she rushed away looked sort of suspicious, but I am sure I am just over thinking it…

(Mia's POV)

As I am rushing away, I cannot hide my excitement as I hear the best news ever. Where in the hell did he go to now, he can be the hardest person to find at times. There he is … always on that damn phone.

"Hi Christian … whaaat are you doing? I ask innocently.

"Nothing Mia ... what do you need?" Christian responds as he is still going through his emails.

"I was just seeing what my favorite brother was up to and mom told me to warn you about being on that cell phone of yours." I respond with a smile.

"I'm I bothering you Christian?" I pout with sad eyes.

"Mia ... I am working on an important deal, I don't have the time right now." Christian responds with frustration.

I love to frustrate him, knowing he always controls his temper when it comes to me.

"Very well ... I was only going to share some important yet juicy news with you. But I will leave you alone since you don't want to hear what I found out about Ana." I smile and start walking towards the door.

"What? What did you did you find out about Ana? Tell me Mia." Christian begs.

"I though you said you were busy right now? I guess I can tell you but it will cost you of course." I smiles brightly.

"Fine ... how much?" Christian responds with frustration for having to wait.

"Oh just my usual of course, but I want twenty this time. I couldn't get as much as I needed with only ten from the last time." I respond with a smile.

"Seriously Mia, don't you think that is bit much for information …and I can't even believe you even want to have me pay for it." Christian responds with a smirk.

"Well Christian ... if you didn't take my black card away I wouldn't have to charge you. You should be glad I'm not requesting that back earlier." I smile again.

"Fine, but you know I only took it away for three months since you decided that you could use it to go to Hawaii for a week and pay for all your friends as well. I don't mind paying for you, but your friends?" Christian only laughs with a smirk, never able to stay mad at me.

"I know ... I'm really sorry I did that, it will never happen again. To show you my apology, this one is on the house; besides I only have two weeks left." I laugh out loud.

"Thanks Mia, you are so generous with my money. Can I please have this new and exciting news now?" Christian smirks.

"Well Christian ... destiny is now opening the door and you can move forward." I inform him with only a bright smile, knowing he needs this more than anything.

"What the hell does that mean?" Christian asks confused and frustrated.

How blind my brilliant brother can be at times, that's why he has no clue on how much he needs me.

"You know Christian ... for being extremely smart; you can be so dumb at times. Not to worry, I still love you the same. If you would stop hiding in here and get off that damn phone, you would know that Ana was hear volunteering as well and who happens to now be single once again. Yes my facts are correct, she told me herself." I smile again knowing I have made his day, oh hell, his life.

"Are you seriously Mia? Ohmygod ... how do I do this or what do I say? Is it too soon ... did he break her heart? Does she still hate me?" Christian says out loud talking to himself, forgetting about me.

I watch Christian as he paces back and forth as he repeats the same questions to himself. It is too cute and funny watching my brother become this nervous about a girl. I am so happy I could repay my brother with this, especially for everything he has ever endured in life. I may have to intervene at times getting these two together, but that will be my little secret. I better snap him out if it before he goes bald pulling on that hair of his.

"Christian you need to stop it already! Just be patient and show her the true person you are and everything will fall in place. It may not be easy at first, since you showered her with your glorious behavior in the beginning, but in time she will see the beautiful person I see every time I see you. Just try not to scare her with your stalky and controlling ways ... trust me when I say it's a huge turn off ... no matter how pretty the face is. Be honest with her Christian, your secrets that you think are so well hidden, are not that well hidden like you think they are. I may look like some airhead who walks this earth clueless, but trust me Christian, I am far from clueless. Not to worry, I am not here to judge you and the things I know about everything and everyone stays locked up in my little brain, so I don't need a NDA..." I smile sweetly.

Christian is now looking at me in shock, not knowing how to even respond. If he was aware of everything I knew about his past and present life ... He would really freak.

"Go on Christian and go look for her, before this opportunity is lost. There is nothing to say about what I know, that is only your business not mines. I love you and I only want you happy." I honestly say with a smile.

"I love you too Mia... thanks." Christian only smirks and hugs me first for the first time in my life.

I playfully push him out the door and wipe my happy tears as for once in my life ... I'm speechless.
