Hey guys!

So this is chapter 3, I was quite busy this morning but I managed to squeeze in a few hours to write this chapter. I personally can't wait until Christian and Ana meet, but there are some stuff that I need to get out of the way first.

So, once again, enjoy and REVIEW! ;)

CHRISTIAN'S POV

I woke up the next day with a huge hangover. My body ached all over, but my head was hands down the worst, it felt like they were drilling holes all over my cranium.

In a half-zombie state I dragged my lazy ass to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I gotta say I was quite impressed when I made it all the way downstairs without eating the floor on my way down, but once I got past the threshold I was nothing but a stumbling mess.

I opened the refrigerator door and started grabbing all I considered easy to open: peanut butter, milk, grapes, orange juice, whip cream...

"Karma's a bitch, isn't it?" I heard Mia's voice and turned around to find her seated by the breakfast bar, eating her stupid colorful cereal.

"Yeah, well so are you." I spat back, grabbing a loaf of bread and sitting three seats away from her.

"You know Christian," she continued without acknowledging my comment, "I think if you were to be nicer to people then you would actually have some friends."

"Well that's the thing, she-who-meddles. I don't want any friends."

She scowled at me as she got up to place her bowl on the dishwasher, and then without another word she left, stomping her feet in her typical spoiled way.

Just as she was leaving, Elliot decided to stop by with none other than Miss Queen Bitch herself.

"What's with her?" My brother asked looking back at the direction Mia had left. I was surprised there wasn't any lava following her path.

I shrugged, too busy stuffing my mouth with all kinds of random shit.

That's when Kate decided to put in her two cents, "Christian was probably just being an insensitive pain in the ass."

I flipped her the middle finger with the hand that wasn't too busy digging a spoon through the peanut butter, and replied with my usual snarky tone, "I've been called worse by better."

Just as she was about to break my face in half, her phone started ringing and she immediately grabbed it and went outside to attend the call.

"Well, you're chipper this morning." Elliot murmured sarcastically, sitting next to me, grabbing some grapes and popping them into his mouth.

"You don't have to witness it if you don't feel like it. It's as easy as ignoring me." I spat back a little harsher than I intended. But fuck me if I cared!

"Have it your way, dude." He said solemnly.

Seconds later, Kate stormed in again murmuring obscenities under her breath.

"What's wrong, babe?" Elliot asked concerned.

"My parents! Shit! Now they decided to take on a stray orphan!"

"A what? Kate, you're not making any sense."

She huffed and crossed her arms on her chest. "Apparently, the daughter of some old friend is staying with us now since her mother died."

"Doesn't she have anyone else?"

"If she did, she wouldn't be warming the guest room's bed at my house, Elliot! Seriously, you're such an idiot sometimes!" She grabbed her car keys and took off towards the door.

Elliot immediately dropped the grapes and ran after her, like the fucking pussy-whipped moron he is.

Life just couldn't get any worse, could it?

ANA'S POV

I was just done with my morning shower when I heard some yelling downstairs. Trying very hard not to overhear anything, I wrapped a white fluffy towel around myself, brushed my hair and applied some cream in my legs.

Mentally kicking myself for not grabbing any clothes with me to the bathroom, I bravely stepped out while gripping my towel like it was a lifeline.

What happened next was all a blur. A boy, well, more like a guy my age or so, was just passing through the hallway when he stopped abruptly to openly run his eyes all over me, from head to toe.

I gave out a startled high-pitch screech and sprinted towards my room, hoping to God not to trip on my way there. Once I was safely inside, I locked the door and sunk to the floor with the towel still pressed up against me like a second skin.

Holy cow! Holy cow! Holy freakin' Cow!

After deciding it was best to just put on some clothing, I went to my luggage and changed into something I was more comfortable in, jeans and a t-shirt.

Not even a second after I was done lacing up my old converse shoes, someone knocked on my door. Fear and embarrassment pulsed though me.

What if it was the same guy? What if it was The Kavanaughs asking me to leave for just exposing myself to one of their guests. Who was he anyways?

I managed to sum up enough courage to make my feet cooperate with me and carry me towards the door. What I, however, wasn't expecting was who was behind that door.

There she stood, one of the most stunning girls I'd ever seen in my entire life. She was taller than me, not that she needed that to be intimidating, her looks alone could make anyone insecure. Her strawberry blonde hair was long and pin-straight, as if she had spent hours and hours in front of a mirror with a hot iron trying to mold it into perfection, and it was clear she did. Her eyes were a striking light green and her features were sharp and symmetrical, the kind you only saw in high fashion models.

I was so distracted by the way she looked better than I could in a million years, I had missed what she was saying.

"W-what?" I asked dumbly.

"I said... Don't mind my idiotic brother, he's the dumbass we never wished we had. But nature and cheap condom companies are to blame for that." She stuck out her perfectly manicured hand to me. "Hello, my name is Katherine Kavanaugh, but you can call me Kate."

"Um, I'm Ana." I whispered, a little taken aback by the fact the Kavanaughs had any children.

Of course I should have thought of that before coming here and ruining a perfectly good family.

"So, I gotta say I was expecting to come here and find some entitled parent-stealing fugly bitch, but you seem nice and cute enough to give my brother a huge boner, so welcome to the family!"

My mouth dropped and I was sure my whole face went up in flames at her candid comment.

She laughed and strolled in, popping herself in my bed and patting a spot to the right, beckoning me to join her, which I did after a few awkward moments on my part.

"Kate, uh... are you okay? I mean, are you alright with me staying here?"

"I talked to my parents," Oh so that's what all the yelling was about, "And I came to the conclusion that I've always wanted a sister. Granted my brother's lacking some cojones, but it's not exactly the same."

I laughed. This girl certainly had a way with words.

"You know what, Steele?"

"What?" I questioned her excited tone.

"I think you'll make the perfect sister, and I just can't wait to show you off tomorrow at school!"

Tomorrow...school? School? Tomorrow!?

Oh dear lord.

Next chapter, Ana and Christian will hopefully meet, so be patient!

Thanks for all the support you guys have shone and I send all my love and gratitude to all of those who have REVIEWED! Please keep doing that, it means a lot to me!

PS. Anyone knows what are the names of Kate's parents? If I don't find out soon I'll probably just make up some names!
