A/N so just wanna clear up Ana's living situation. I never explained it (bad me) and some people are understandably confused. Basically Anna lives with Ray some days of the week and with Bob nd Carla the other days :) sorry for that
"...and right there is the sitting room." Christian has just spent the last hour giving me a tour of his house minus closets and cupboards, and I can not even fathom how massive it is. "Why don't you have a seat and I will go see what I have for dinner." He smiled warmly at me as he gestured to the black leather suit sitting in front of a plasma TV that has to be at least 42 inches.
"Christian, this place is incredible! I mean it's huge!" I walked on through the sitting room door and sat down on the sofa, with the tv right in front of me.
"It's really nothing that impressive. Just well decorated if I say so myself."
"Are you crazy? It's enormous. I mean my whole house can fit in your room. Which is beautiful by the way." I could here him next door opening what I assume to be the fridge or freezer door, as we called back and forth to each other.
"How about paella?" He appeared in the door way, leaning on the frame looking delicious.
"Pa... What?"
"Paella? It's a Spanish dish. Rather delicious."
"That sounds really fancy Christian. You don't have to do anything special."
He looked puzzled. "Fancy? That's what I have most Friday nights."
"How about I cook? I do a mean Mac and cheese"
"What's that?"
I just stared. Is he serious?
"Come on." I laughed as I walked past him, gesturing him to follow me into the kitchen. Which was down a small corridor and through a wooden swinging door.
I walked through the door to see an island in the middle with two beautiful chandlers above it. All the counters were a black speckled granite, with an impressive sized fridge freezer with two doors and an ice dispenser. Yeah. One of those fridges! Opposite the island there was another impressively sized cooker. It looked like there were two. But no, just one massive assed cooker.
"You have pasta and cheese right?"
"In that cupboard, there." Pointing to a cupboard beside the fridge, he let out a content sigh and leaned on the counter. Simply watching me bustle about. "Cheese is in the fridge."
"Got it." I grabbed a large pan of the rack in front of the cooker and added the pasta and water before turning the cooker on. "Any chopping boards? Sharp knives?"
"Here." He said handing them to me. "Anything else?" I shook my head no.
"You should turn that cooker down a bit."
"It should be fine." I heard a tut and turned around, facing him at an angle.
"What?" I smiled.
"You're not very good at taking orders are you?"
Laughing, I shook my head and turned back to the pan.
"Can't wait to change that." He half smiled.
"You've been saying things like that a lot. What do you mean?"
"You might find out soon."
I hummed and added the cheese to a separate pan with the sauce.
10 minutes later we were sitting down with a plate of pasta and cheese. He seemed to love it. "Always good to try something new right?"
"Always."
Christian dropped me of at the corner of my street, not wanting to draw attention to us. "So I'll see you Monday? At school?"
"Of course Anastasia."
"God Christian. Please. Call me Ana."
"I'll see you later... Ana." He leant over towards me as if to kiss me. But instead he stared for a moment before opening the door for me. "Have a great weekend. Call me when you get home ok?" I laughed a bit and smiled before getting out of the car and walking the rest of the way.
I heard him turn around and I couldn't help but glance at him one last time before Monday.
I reached Rays door and Put my key in. "Dad? I'm home!" I threw my keys on the small table near the door and hung my coat up on the hanger. "Dad?"
"Ana?" He came out from the sitting room buttoning his checkered shirt up. "What are you doing here?"
"I decided to stay here tonight instead of moms. She's driving me crazy with the wedding. What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I was just... Watching TV. I wasn't expecting you that's all."
"Oh, well I'm sorry. Have you ate?" He nodded his head. "Dad are you ok? You seem... Flustered?" Just as I finished talking I heard a bang from the sitting room. "What was that?" I questioned going for the door.
Ray moved in front of me. "Nothing, just um my game tower. Must've fallen."
"Dad, you're acting weird." I moved his arm and walked into the sitting room.
My mouth hit the floor and I stood in shock. "Who the hell are you?" I asked the tall brunette who stood in her jeans and bra.
"Ana listen..."
"No dad, what the fuck is going on here?"
"Watch your language! Ana this is Jane. We've been... Seeing each other lately."
"No! No! You are meant to be waiting for mom!"
"Honey your mom and I are over. She is marrying Bob..."
"She's always marrying someone you just have to... Wait for her!"
"I'm, honey listen your dad and I, we really like each..."
"You don't get to talk here! Got it. This is between us! And don't you ever call me honey you slut!"
"ANA!" My dad scolded. I stormed past him, knocking his shoulder in the process before grabbing my stuff and opening the door.
A hand pushed it closed again, and I could feel the anger pulsating through me. "Ana please, just listen to..."
"Move. Now." Ray slowly moved his and and I stormed out, pulling out my phone.
How could he? He knows I wanted him and mom to get back together. I know she is getting married to Bob but her longest relationship was Ray anyway. They never last long!
"Hello?"
Tears started running down my face.
"Christian? I need you to pick me up..."
"Where are you?"
A/N so I hope you like it. Please review and I'll try update soon.
Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe and have a great new year!
