Christian
Ana has just left for her hair appointment and I am left with Elliot to entertain for the day. I hate her being out there again but she insisted on it. What she does not know is she has 2 other men on her detail today. I am not taking anymore fucking chances were her safety is concerned.
I was fucking angry with the blue and purple marks across her entire back. I had to just hold in my anger for Ana's sake but I could tell she knew. She told me not to worry the makeup artist is going to air brush it all away for her so it wont be seeing at the ball. That was not what was worrying me but I just kept quiet. Every time I see them I get angry thinking about that fucker.
"So Christian what ideas do you have for your party and were do you want to go?"
"That's the thing Elliot. I don't want some skanky party with cheap strippers and booze." I am fucking serious when I say this.
"But you are only getting married once. This is how it's suppose to be." Just then I get a text from Ana that makes me smile. I knew this was bothering her as much as me.
Hi babes. I have an idea to run past you and Elliot. Give me two days to plan a weekend away for a combined bachelor and bachelorette party. I will run all the details past you two first and if you'll are not happy then we can go back to doing two separate ones. What do you say? - A
I show it to Elliot and the fucker takes it as a challenge and says.
"I accept the challenge. Tell her to plan away and lets see what she comes up with?" I kind of like the idea because it means I don't have to be away from Ana and she will be safe with me. After what happened yesterday I don't want her alone. Her just going to the spa today is killing me as it is. The other problem is I know alcohol is a bad trigger for her so I would prefer her to be close to me. I don't trust Mia to not hire male stripper either.
"I think Ana is onto something great here. We will get together in 2 days and see what she comes up with."
"Great now what are we going to do today?"
"Can't you entertain yourself for once Elliot?" I say joking and he laughs.
"Lets go check on what Alex is up to first maybe he can give us some ideas on what Ana may plan?" I say and I see the mischief on Elliot's face.
"Cool. I am going to also plan something and run it by her then we can see whose is the best and go with it." Great now Elliot is in challenge mode and I have to deal with him.
"Christian when is Mia coming home?"
"Actual mom and dad are picking her up at the airport in 1 hour."
"What, why didn't anyone tell me?"
"I thought you knew."
"No, I did not. Well, why don't she partner Alex tonight?"
"Well, you can ask him but he better not try anything with her. He is 4 years older than her. I also think he has a partner already."
"Oh get over yourself Christian she is the same age as Ana and he is the same age as you." I dint think of that. I guess she is but I still don't like it. She is my baby sister after all.
Alex
I have the day all to myself and I am in heaven. Ana is attending a charity event with the Greys tonight and I may go. I will see how I feel later. It sucks going on my own as my girlfriend bailed on the last minute. Something about work problems.
I can't believe I almost lost Ana yesterday to that fucker. I am still wound up tight over it. Hardly got any sleep last nigh and the little I did was full of horrible iages of the accident. I need to up my game with him before she gets hurt or worse. We spoke for a while this morning about there rushed wedding but she assured me this is what she really wants.
Mom and dad are going to come up next week for the engagement party and my siblings are going to stay a while longer and sort out there wedding attire. I was angry when Ana mentioned she is going to ask her mother to be a part of this. I know for a fact she is going to fuck things up for Ana and we are going to be left picking the pieces up.
I was getting some stuff in her room yesterday and spotted the gift from Christian. I need to have a word with him about it. Late yesterday evening he actually came to me to ask me for permission to propose to Ana. I was completely speechless. He didn't have to do that but I will give it to him the man sure knows how to play his cards right. I was floored. Of course I said yes and gave him the 'don't you ever hurt her' speech. Just then there is a knock on the door and it's no other than Elliot and Christian. Just my luck. So much for a peaceful day alone.
"Hello guys what can I do for you two?"
"We came to hang with you." Ok there is a surprise.
"Cool come on in I wasn't doing anything."
"Alex are you going tonight and do you have a date?" I am not sure I want to answer that. What the hell is Elliot up to?
"Not sure if I am going Elliot and no I don't have a date anymore why?"
"Because my sister needs a partner and I thought of you." Oh boy Mia. I heard a lot about her from Ana. I'm not sure about this but what the hell.
"Ok I don't mind attending with her. What's her color?"
"How the fuck are we supposed to know?"
"Well, how the fuck am I supposed to get us masks if I don't know what color she is wearing?" I start to laugh when they both say fuck at the same time.
"So I guess that means you two forgot to get masks?" The guilty look on their faces says it all.
"Why don't we all go together?"
"Ok let's go." We all leave in Christian's SUV with Taylor driving.
Christian
How the hell did I forget to get us masks for tonight? Ana would have killed me. I texted Mia about her date and she is trilled. She also mentioned she is wearing pink. Typical Mia. Elliot said Kate are wearing red and I know Ana is wearing black.
"So Christian. Why the hell did you buy Ana that gift yesterday?" I am confused with Alex's question. What the hell?
"What the hell do you mean by that?"
"The gift you gave Ana was so not the right thing to do."
"Why the fuck not. I think they would look great on her." Now I am getting irritated with him. What the hell is his problem?
"Yes, they would look great on her if she could wear them." Now I am even more confused.
"And why cant she?"
"Christian when she landed up in hospital as a kid, Morton broke her ankle to such a degree that she is not able to walk in high shoes. Did you not notice she only wears flats? She can probably were them for an hour or two but then she would have to strap her foot up because of the pain it causes her." Fuck I am such a fucking idiot. I had no idea. I am going to have to make it up to Ana.
"Fuck Alex why the hell didn't you tell me this earlier? I would never intentionally hurt Ana. She is my life. I am such a fucken idiot. She didn't even say she could not were them. All she done was thank me for them."
"Ana is like that she hates to come across as ungrateful."
"Ok I need to go past the jewelry store to pick her up something to go with her dress for tonight."
"Great comeback Grey. Ana does have a week spot for 3 things if you are interested in knowing?" This gets my attention and I cant help but smile at the fucker he knows what he is doing.
"Spill Alex. Of course I want to know."
"Ok and what do I get out of it?"
"Don't be a dick Alex. I won't bust your ball about being out with my baby sister." I know that is a lame one.
"Like I bust your with my baby sister? Don't forget I do have a girlfriend."
"Ok good point."
"Ok Grey Lets see. I want a tour of GEH and to go out for a day on The Grace."
"How the hell do you know about my boat?"
"I have ways. I also know you have a helicopter 'Charlie Tango' and a private jet."
"Of course you do. Now spill."
"Ok Ana has a weakness for sneakers and biker style boots. She also has a weakness for jackets and Jewelry. But not the stuffy jewelry those highty tighty people were. She likes plain yet elegant and no pearls. Ana hates pearls. Just make sure if you buy her any rings they must not have huge colorful stones or anything with pearls in them. She will say she loves it but you will never see her wearing it. Got me Grey?" Fuck she is so different from the women I used to buy for, to them the bigger the better but not my Ana.
"Yes I got you." Fuck I need to call Niemen Marcus and cancel my shoe order for Ana. I got a better idea and Alex can help. I call them up and as I end the call both Elliot and Alex are staring at me.
"What?" I ask them and they both burst into laughter. The fuckers.
"Christian did you honestly order an entire range of shoes for Ana and now had to cancel?"
"Yes, I did and it's a good thing they were delayed with the delivery or I would have been fucked."
"Elliot what are you getting for Kate?"
"I was thinking of some jewelry. Maybe I can bribe her into forgiving me." I can't help but laugh. Alex looks lost so we explain what happened and he to cant stop laughing.
"I must admit Elliot you have your hands full with that young lady."
"Alex you can say that again." We get the masks for the evening and I ask Taylor to pass by Niemen Marcus in Bellevue. These boys are going to help me shop for Ana.
"Christian were are we going?"
"I need your help in getting some stuff for Ana. What better person than her big brother to help choose?" I can hear him growl like he is in fucken pain. I don't give them a choice and sit back and enjoy the drive. Payback is a bitch.
