Chapter 10

I stare at my surroundings as I slowly savour my soda. We've been dancing like crazy at Jenna's party. I'm sweaty and tired, but it was worth it. Jenna's parents are attending a confernce in London. So we have the entire house to oursleves, not that I plan on staying overnight.

Mr Grey had left almost two hours ago, quite happy with himself and the deal he had made. I'd had a long conversation/
lecture from my dad about how I should be safe and very careful. He had repeatedly assured me that I hadn't hurt his feelings by agreeing to staying away for an entire month. After that I'd called my mom and had tried to apologise but she was ecstatic about me living with them for a month. All in all, she had forgiven me very generously for today and said that she was waiting for me eagerly.

I personally was very confused. I was sad to leave my dad for a month but I was also quite excited about spending a month with my new family (Even if it meant that I'd have to live with Phoebe).

"Earth to Ana. Wow you sure do know how to zone out completely." Jenna says as she aproaches me. She is panting.
"Sorry babe I was just thinking. About...you know..." she knew ofcourse. I had told her almost immedeatly after I'd reached her place. She had thought it was awesome.

"So are you seriously gonna live with your new parents?" Jason asked me, as he joined up with his girlfriend, Kim'
right behind him. "Yes ofcourse I am. I can't exactly lie about stuff like this Jay.". "Are you excited? I mean I would be if I were in your shoes. I mean their house must be huge right?" asked Kim. "Yeah it is pretty huge. And I am excited but not for that reason. They are very nicee people."

"Even if they weren't ,they're still super rich." Jenna adds. I roll my eyes at her. She giggles. "I better head home.
I have to go for a jog with my dad early in the morning." I say as I get up. "But you just got here ! And aren't you gonna stay the entire night?" Jenna asks. " Sorry I can't. As I said, I've already promised my dad. I'll see you guys. Bye."

As I reach home, I notice that the television is still on. "Dad, Why didn't you go to sleep?". " How could I sleep,
you were out. And it's dark. Did you have fun?" he asks as he switches the television off. "Yeah I had fun. Jenna was colourful as always. Did you eat? ". "Yes I did. I was going to ask you the same thing.". "Yeah me too." .

"Let's go to bed. We have to go jogging tomorrow." dad says. "Yeah ok. Goodnight dad.". "Goodnight love".
I head upstairs to my room. As I'm changing, my phone vibrates. It's a text from Mr Grey. woah. "Goodnight sweetheart. Your mom and I can't wait for you to get here" . I reply "Goodnight. I'm very excited as well."

I'm not sleepy so I get my Harry potter book and start reading it for the thousandth time.

Hello readers ! Some of your are hating on Annabeth for stayin with her father. It is not a selfish decision. Her father (Adrian) has raised her and she loves him dearly. She doesn't want to hurt her him in any way. Later in this story you will come to know that he shares a very deep bond with Ana. She has decided to stay with the Greys for an entire month thats why she has made this thank you and happy reading :)
