The next day, Phoebe and I get back from Uncle Elliot's place. She has been nice enough ,which is great. As soon as we get back, I head back to my room. Phoebe has plans with her friends. She invites me but I decline politely. I'm sure she wants to send some alone time with her friends.
I'm about to go take a shower, but someone knocks on my bedroom door.
"May I come in?", dad pokes his head in with a smile.
"Yeah ,sure." I say as I let him in.
He enters my room and sits on my bed. "So how was your sleepover?", he asks, casually. A little too casually. "It was good. I had fun.". I tell him. It is true, but only partly. I did have fun, but I don't have a whole lot in common with Phoebe and Ava. Half way through the sleepover, Ava was showing us her latest Gucci bag. And then Phoebe and her got into a detailed discussion of the bag and the fall catlouge and what not. Then they moved to clothes. I could only smile and nod. Fashion to me is what looks good and what doesn't. I don't have much knowledge about fashion.
"That's great ! I'm glad that you're getting along with your sister and cousin. She can be a little spoilt at times but she is kind at heart." dad says.
"She seems nice," is all I can say. To be honest, her comments from that night still hurt but I'm trying to ignore them.
"Yes she is. Be down within an hour .Lunch will be ready by then." he says as he leaves my room.
Christian's pov
After checking on Annabeth, I make my way downstairs and towards the kitchen, where Ana is preparing our lunch. I'm extremely glad and relieved that Annabeth and Phoebe are getting along. I constantly worry that Annabeth might want to go back to forks if she isn't happy or comfortable.
As I enter the kitchen, Ana is pouring something into the pan.
"You look happy, Mr Grey." she says as I wrap my arms around her from behind.
"That would be because I am happy Mrs and Phoebe are getting along well. Annabeth told me that she had fun at the sleepover. I was worried,".
"Ofcourse you were," she says, sarcastically. "You worry about everything Christian. They are sisters. Even though they had a rough beginning, I'm sure that they'll grow pretty close soon. Annabeth and Ted are pretty close already.".
"I know that. But I still worry that Annabeth might want to go back to forks if she isn't happy here.".
"Oh god will you stop already? She isn't going to go back Christian. Hasn't she promised to stay the entire month? The last thing she needs is for you to hover and smother her with your over-protectiveness. I know that you almost called Elliot last night to check on her.".
"Almost. You didn't let me though, did you?" I grumble.
"Yes. You were overreacting slightly. as you usually do," she says as she rolls her eyes at me. "Stop worrying, Christian. Everything is going to be alright.".
"Fine." I say and we countinue our playfull banter for a while. She informs me that Ted's best friend, Adam, is going to join us for lunch today.
