That night Christian drove me home from the bar. He stuck with only having water since he had to be up in the morning for work. I on the other hand had a few to many.

Christian helped me into my apartment. He even insisted that he help me get undress and into something a little more comfortable. I protested and told him that I could do it myself. He whined like a child for a few seconds but walked out the room closing the door ever so slowly trying to get a peek.

After getting changed into a t-shirt and some pajama shorts I yelled out to Christian to come back in. The door swung open so fast it nearly gave me a heart attack. I laid down in bed and Christian tucked me in. He stayed with me for a little while but sadly he had to leave. He kissed me on my forehead told me that he loved me and left.

I feel so bad for the fact that I can't say it back to him. One day it'll happen.

The next morning I wake up to my phone ringing, without looking at the phone I answer.

"Hello?"

"Ana it's Grace. I was calling to see if you would like to go to lunch with me today?"

"Oh Grace I don't know if I can…" Feeling a little hung over right now.

"Ana I have already talked to Mia and she said you don't have anything scheduled until later today" Shit.

"Sure Grace, Would you like for me to pick you up or would you like to meet somewhere?"

"How about you meet me at that nice little bistro on Delaware Ave. Say around noon"

"Great I'll see you there Grace" I hang up the phone and sigh. Why did I have to drink so god damn much.

I slowly get my aching body out of bed. It's only ten. I know I'm not old but I'm not young either.

Once I'm showered and dressed I walk into the kitchen and see Jen standing there reading one of her magazines drinking a cup of coffee.

"Good morning"

"Morning, what are you up too today?" I ask

"Nothing much. What about you?"

"Grace invited me to have lunch with her at the bistro on Delaware"

"I love that place. They have the best fried calamari in the world"

"You want to come with? I'm sure Grace wouldn't mind you tagging along"

"You serious?"

"Yeah sure why not?"

"What time do you need to be there? Will I have enough time for a shower?"

"Noon. So you have more than enough time. But knowing you, you might want to jump in the shower now it we'll end up being late"

"Hey. It's not my fault I like to take my time in the shower"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah just get your butt moving" She takes a gulp of her coffee and places the mug into the sink and skips off into her bedroom to shower.

Twenty minutes later Jen emerges from her bedroom smelling as if someone hit her with a perfume bottle. God woman you only need a few squirts.

"Ready!"

I grab my purse and key's. We walk out of the apartment to my car. I hold open the door and take a deep breath, I can do this, I can do this, I say to myself. Never drinking again.

Less than fifteen minutes later I pull in front of the little bistro. Grace's car is right in front of mine. She must be inside already.

We both get out of the car at the same time, when I look past Grace's car I see Christian's R8 parked in front of hers. I wasn't expecting Christian to be here too.

Jen and I walk inside and are greeted by the hostess.

"Good afternoon, table for two?" she asks

"Um no I'm meeting someone here"

"Name?"

"I believe it would be under Grey"

"Ah yes, right this way. Please follow me" she turns on her heel and starts to walk. Jen and I both follow her to the back of the bistro. As Jen and I get closer to the table my heart starts to race. I always get like this when Christian is nearby.

Grace and Christian are talking with each other. Both laughing away at something Christian had said.

When we reach the table both Grace and Christian stand from their seats. Grace comes over and hugs me and kisses me on both my cheeks and does the same to Jen.

"I hope you don't mind that Jen is with me"

"Not at all, I hope you don't mind that Christian is joining us as well" I shake my head. How could I mind having Christian there?

The four of us take out seats and the waitress comes over to take me and Jen's drink order. I order a glass of orange juice while Jen orders a bloody Mary.

"How are you feeling this morning Ana?" Christian asks with a smirk.

"I'm feeling much better thank you" I lie. I feel like shit.

"So Christian was telling me that next month you're going to start with ghost hunts at the terminal. Are you excited?"

"Yes we are. It should be very interesting to see how the spirits react to outsiders"

"Wonderful, I'm so proud of you Ana, you have really come a long way"

"Thank you Grace, but I couldn't have done it without the help of your son" she smiles at me, and then looks over to Christian with an even bigger smile.

We held a nice light conversation during lunch about the paranormal. Everyone was surprised when Grace has asked if herself, and Carrick could come down to the terminal one night to see what it's like to ghost hunt.

Christian was the first to speak. "Mom do you think that's a wise choice?"

"And what is that supposed to mean Christian" She narrows her eyes at him.

"Nothing I was just saying..." I cut him.

"What Christian means to say is Grace, whenever you would like to come day or night; you are more than welcome too. In fact if you would like I'm free after lunch so if you want to follow me to the terminal I can give you a rundown on everything"

"That is so nice of you dare. Isn't that nice of her Christian," I laugh. He is in so much trouble. I guess it's a good thing he doesn't live at home anymore.

"Yes mother. Anastasia is the nicest person I know" He smiles sweetly at me.
