Early post since I have some homework to get done. If I finish early I'll post another chapter tonight, deal?
Oh there will be a bit of drama ahead!
Mia and I meet up right around 2am. The store won't be exactly open till 4:30am so now we're just hanging out waiting in line.
Mia and Sawyer are both extremely quiet. I mean, Mia talks back but I've been doing most of the talking.
"Ok, why are you guys being so shy?" I ask.
"We're not." Mia says.
"You both won't talk. And you're afraid to look at each other. It obvious I already know you both are dating. I won't say anything it's not my business. Just breath and relax."
"Sorry, we don't mean to be weird" Sawyer says.
"It's fine. But tell me, when did you two meet? And how long have you guys been together?" I ask.
"We met when Luke came to work for Christian. We became friends quickly." Mia answers.
"We've been dating for, well, seven months now." Sawyer answers.
"Seven months and Christian doesn't know!? Jesus Christ, Mia! I'm sure Taylor don't know either. Oh god. Taylor and Christian would kill you both for waiting for long to tell them. What are you guys afraid off?"
"That fact that I'm dating his employee is the reason I'm holding back he's going to freak. He's going to go bat shit on Luke!" Mia says and that could be true.
"Mia.. You guys have to tell them. Doesn't it get tiring to sneak around? You've been doing it for seem months! It's holiday season. Wouldn't you want to see Luke freely?"
"Yeah but it's complicated."
I nod and leave it as that since it's truly not my business. I just know Christian won't take this lightly especially after waiting so long.
When the stores open up we decide to go shopping for presents for the kids first. Just to get it out the way since it's easy to find them something.
For Phoebe I get dolls and a cute little kitchen set she talked about the other day because her friend from school has one. Mia gets her a crown and fake makeup set and a princess outfit. We go to the boys you section and look around for Teddy's gift. I keep holding up toys but Mia let's me know he already has them.
How could it be so difficult to get a gift for a boy!? I hold up a few more toys and Mia approve two of them so I take them.
After we pay for it we head into a clothing store. I'm now looking for something for mom, Grace and Kate.
Both Sawyer and Mia have loosened up and are acting like a couple. Not much PDA but they hold hands once in a while.
"This color will look great on you Luke" Mia jokes while holding up a shirt on him.
"You do look fabulous." I add.
"I feel like I'm being ganged up on" he jokes.
"Oh shut it," Mia wraps her arms around his neck and kisses his cheek.
For the next few hours we keep shopping. I found gifts for Grace, Mom, Phoebe, Teddy & Carrick. I haven't found anything for Kate and Dad, I can't get anything for Mia while she's with me and what do I get Christian who has everything and Elliot who's a big kid himself?
Sawyer and Mia let loose a bit more and they've kissed twice. They are so cute.
Mia and I begin to get tired so we head home around 8:30am. Yup. We shopped for about four hours and we've been out for about six.
Mia decides to come over to say hi then leave.
I get home in just a few minutes. Sawyer leaves me in the front and I take some bags up. He'll bring up the rest after he parks. Mia parks quickly and we both head up together. I quickly head into my room and drop the bags then head into the kitchen where Christian is at.
"Hey bro"
"Hey honey,"
"Ladies," Christian says.
"Where are the kids?" I ask.
"Upstairs playing. They just finished eating breakfast. Congrats for making it on every websites today" he tells me.
"Huh?" What the heck?
"You were photographed today."
"I didn't see anyone around." I say.
"Off-guard pictures." He answers. He passes me his phone which is one some celebrity new websites.
Christian Grey's girlfriend and sister Black Friday shopping this morning.
As seen below the two ladies were shopping together having a good time. But we spotted some things. Keep scrolling.
So I do.
What is shinning on Anastasia Steele's left hand? In the picture you see her holding up a toy showing it to Mia Grey, Mr. Grey's sister, but what is that rock that shinning. Christian Grey might not be so eligible anymore. Do I hear wedding bell?
I continue to scroll.
Oh fucking hell. The next two pictures are of Mia and Sawyer. One of them hugging and the other kissing.
Mia Grey cozy with a guy? Oh who is this mystery man with Christian's little sister? The whole family since to be taken. Sources tell us Elliot Grey, Christian Grey's older brother, is also dating. Well they are a good looking family.
Oh fuck.
I show the phone to Mia and she turns white as a ghost.
"ANA YOUR BAGS!" Sawyer calls out.
"That son of a bitch.." Christian murmurs and races to Sawyer. Mia and I run behind.
"You! You're fucking my sister? Why the fuck were you so cozy with her today?" Christian says while grabbing on to Sawyer's collar making him drop the bags.
"Christian that's enough!" I say but he doesn't listen.
"ANSWER ME!" Christian yells.
"I said that's enough!" I manage to pull him away and Mia rushes to Sawyer's side.
"I'm not fucking your sister I'm dating her." Sawyer says.
"What the fuck!?"
Taylor rushes over and I can see Gail got him. Thank god.
"What's going on, sir?"
"You nephew has been screwing my sister!"
"Boy what have you done?" Taylor turns to Sawyer.
"For fucks sake he's not screwing me Christian! We're dating!" Mia says.
"You're dating my employee and didn't have the decency to tell me? Neither of you? YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO WATCH OUT FOR ANA TODAY NOT PLAY HAPPY COUPLE WITH MY SISTER!" Christian yells.
I look to my right and see the kids came out their room and are watching.
"YOU FUCKING KEPT THIS-"
"ENOUGH! Yelling is not the damn answer especially with two kids in the house."
"How long has this been going on?" Christian asks.
"Seven months." Mia answers.
"Seven fucking months and no one said anything."
"I'm sorry we didn't say anything, sir, but I love your sister and I've been nothing but respectful to her" Sawyer says and I can tell he's scared to talk.
Christian tries to grab Sawyer again but Taylor and I both get in the way.
"You're fired!" Christian tells him.
"Christian do you realize how ridiculous you look right now? That's enough. Fucking stop. Mia go home. Sawyer you're not fired but leave for the day. I'll talk to you tonight."
"You have no say in this Ana."
"I fucking do now." I answer back to Christian. "He's not fired but he's leaving for the day. Like now!" I look at both of them and they leave.
"Room, now Christian."
I'm beyond fuming right now. When we both walk in I slam the door shut.
"YOU HANDLED THAT SO WRONG! Then you decided to fucking yell and curse in a place where the kids can easily hear you! Poor Sawyer didn't deserve that."
"He's been screwing my sister!"
"Christian that's enough! I mean it. I get your upset because you had to find out through photos but you didn't handle that right. They've been together for seven months and today I saw how serious they are about each other. Yes I've known I kind of figured it out but this is exactly why they didn't tell you. Mia seemed scared and she knew you'd go bat shit on Luke! Which you did. And I get they waited too long but God you fucked up right now. By the way he did do his job today. No one approached us."
"He's still fired."
"He's not and that's final. You look really childish right now."
"She's my little sister and she knows not to mess with my employees but she still did it. He should have known better as well!"
"Oh god!" I sigh. "Christian you can't avoid attraction. They truly do love each other and you should see how happy your sister is."
Christian lays down and rubs his face. "I don't like the fact they kept me in the dark and for seven months."
"That's understandable. I get it. But yelling and attacking wasn't the answer. I'm pretty sure Taylor is freaking out right now too. Christian you were yelling and cursing while the kids are just a few feet away. I'm pretty sure they heard everything. Not only do you owe Luke and apology but you owe one to the kids."
"You're right. About the kids part."
This man is so hardheaded.
We both make our way over to the kids who immediately run to Christian asking why he was yelling. He apologizes for raising his voice and saying bad words. He makes the kids promise to never repeat the words he said and they both nod.
We go back down and I grab the bags Luke brought up.
I go back to the room with Christian and set everything down. I change into sweats and a shirt and lay down.
"I'm tired."
"I can imagine."
"Oh, before I forget we have dinner with my dad next week."
"Do we?"
"Yup," I answer. "He has this new lady friend, since he said its not serious yet, he met her kids and now he wants her to meet his kids aka me and Phoebe. But I think he's going to take this opportunity to show all of us off to whoever this is."
"Show us off?" He asks amused.
"Yup, you know, the whole 'meet my daughter and my granddaughter they're lovely right well meet my soon to be son-in-law and grandson. Aren't they perfect?' Type of show off" I say laughing.
"We are perfect so.." I shove his shoulder and laugh.
"I'm going to nap."
"Alright baby I'll be with the kids." I give him a kiss and he walks out the room.
What a morning.
I nap for a few hours making the day go by quickly. Before I know it it's 8pm, the kids are fed and showered and we're all watching tv in our room.
I called Luke and Mia and told them to come over in a few. Christian has cooled down and it's time for them to talk like adults. It's better to get this done now then longing it.
There's a knock on the door and Christian says to come in.
"Ana," it's Gail. "They're here." I nod at her thanking her for letting me know.
"Kids you stay here okay? Christian and I have to do something." They nod and I grab Christian hands leading him to the living room. He looked lost until he saw who's here. "You need to talk with them. Better to get this over with now than longing it. You've seemed to cool down so talk like an adult now."
We sit on the couch across from them.
"Christian, I really never meant to keep this from you. I was just nervous, I knew you'd freak out! I was scared of what your initial reaction would have been." Mia says. "But I do apologize for keeping you in the dark and for so long. You should have known since he is one of your employees and you have warned about staying away from someone who works for you. I couldn't stay away from Luke, we clicked immediately. We quickly became friends first."
"Sir, I'm sorry too. I did want to say something but Mia was nervous and I didn't want to have her stressing so I was only going to tell when she was ready. Days, week, months passed by and we were deep in and didn't know how to tell you. It did bother me how you kept saying I'm screwing your sister because it isn't like that. Mia is someone I love and respect. I treat her the way she should be treated. So like I said I'm sorry we didn't say anything but I'm not sorry I didn't stay away because she's one of the best things that's happened to me in a while."
Mia looks like she wants to cry but she ain't the only one. Luke's words even hit me deep.
Taylor comes by making sure no one is killing each other and takes a seat next to Luke.
"Boy, I should slap you across the head for not telling me anything. But I'm glad you've been treating her right. No wonder you've been so happy this year." Taylor says making Luke smile.
"Christian I think you owe someone an apology" I tell him.
He signs and nods "Luke, I apologize for my behavior. It was rude and uncalled for and I see now that it wasn't something you deserved. Mia that apology goes to you too as well. I didn't mean to attack him it was just an initial reaction. But, not only did you both keep me in the dark you've shown me you can't trust me and frankly that hurts. The fact that I had to find out through photos online really angered me. Luke you're my employee dating my sister. This is something that should have been in my knowledge since day one. I do admit I probably would have freaked out of you came to me from the beginning but I honestly would have worked it out. You both waited so long to tell me and it bothers me. But what's done is done, we can't change it. I really do hope you both are happy. By the way, you're still fired."
"No you're not Luke, don't listen to this hot head." I say.
"I kind of have to he's the boss.."
"Not right now." I smirk. "You're not fired. But we all need some more space to let this sink in so come back tomorrow night."
"Yes ma'am." He nods.
"Looks like I'm not the boss anymore" Christian says.
"Nope you aren't. You guys can go now. Drive safely."
"Will do, thank you Ana" Mia says and I nod at her. Taylor walks away leaving me and Christian alone.
"You good now?"
"I am. I'm still upset but I'm good."
"Let's go back to our kids"
"Sounds like a good idea" he says and I give him a quick kiss.
What a hot head he is. But I love him.
