Sorry for the wait. I was busy this weekend but here it is :)
Thursday morning was hectic. First there was traffic making Phoebe a bit late and me late to work. Then I had a lot of work to get done by 10am. It wasn't hard it was just a lot for one person.
I meeting Christian for lunch at his office so I'm on my way there now. Andrea greets me and tells me to go right in.
"Hello, Mr. Grey"
"Hello, miss Steele. I hope you don't mind that I ordered lunch for us. Got us chicken fingers and fries"
"Mmm, my favorite" I laugh and give him a quick kiss.
"Taylor should be arriving with it any minute now. Anyways, what are your plans for the rest of the day?"
"I'm leaving at 2:40 today. After I pick up Phoebe I'm taking her shopping for a dress. She's excited for tomorrow."
"What color?" He asks
"She wants a rainbow dress" I laugh "that's not happening. Probably purple or blue."
"She'll look adorable in anything,"
"Of course she will. Have you seen her mother?" I joke. "This job has been a blessing to me. I can actually afford to buy her things and pay bills on times. Have money left over for necessities."
"I'm glad you work here then."
Money has always been tight for me. But now I feel like I have a burden off my shoulders. Soon, I'm going to begin to save up money. Put it away.
When our food arrives we dig in. I've seen CEO Christian and carefree Christian and carefree Christian is my favorite.
After lunch I kiss him goodbye and head back to work. I drown myself in work until it's time to go pick up Phoebe.
Hours go by quick and I'm at Phoebes school picking her up already. She runs straight to me then to the car. She tells me she wants a red dress.
Red I can do.
She talks the whole ride to the mall and I can't help but smile. I don't remember her being this excited for anything. Christian really is doing something amazing.
When we arrive to the mall Phoebe basically drags me to the store. When we head in she immediately looks a the dresses. She picks out a two red ones.
We go to the dressing room and try them on. The first red one we try on her is sleeveless with a bow on the side.
She said she looked like an old lady.
The second one has spaghetti straps. The top half is glittery and it has a flower on the side.
"I look like a princess I want this one."
"Alright," I smile at her "let's get it off and buy."
After we're done there I go and buy her black flats then we head home.
After I make us diner we get started on her homework. Before she goes to bed all she says is that she can't wait till she wears her dress.
The next day she up early and ready to go to school. She says she wants to get the day over with so she can come home and get in her dress.
After I drop her off at school I head straight to work.
Today isn't as hectic as yesterday was. Thank god! But I still have a lot to get done.
Christian only came in for two hours today. Teddy has a dentist appointment so he's taking him out early from school then is going to spend the rest of the day home till its time to pick up Phoebe.
When I leave for the day I'm proud of everything I got done. It's only 2:30 and I even manage to do some extra work for next week.
When I pick Phoebe up she runs to me and tells me we have to get going. When we arrive home she goes straight to the bathroom and takes a shower. I keep the door slightly open and check on her every few minutes. After she's done she's screams from the bathroom. "Come on mommy! Christian has to be here at 4!"
"Alright come on come on." I take her hair out of the bun she has on today and let her hair fall with her natural waves. I put on her dress and her flats on so she can stay still. After than I work on her hair a little bit.
I part it to the side and do small curls. Not a lot. Her hair ready has beautiful soft waves. I just want to add a bit more the the back. Once I'm finished I look at the time. It's only 3:30. Oh god she's going to drive me crazy.
I keep her busy with her telling me what she's looking forward to do. I get a text from Christian asking if it's okay if he leaves Teddy with me. I told him it's no problem.
20 minutes later there's a knock on the door. Phoebe runs and goes open it.
"Hi Christian. Hi teddy." They both come in.
"Well look at that.. I didn't know I'd be taking a princess out." He tells Phoebe.
God damn.
He's wearing a suit but without a tie. The top two buttons are undone. I want to eat him up.
"Yes you'll be taking a princess out. No pictures please" Okay now I want to know where she got that from.
"Come on, last finishing touch." I take a light red lip gloss out and apply a bit on her. "Alright. You're ready."
"Alright Phoebe say bye to these two losers" Christian says while pointing at me and Teddy. "we're going to party and they're not."
"Bye losers!" Phoebe says and Teddy and I scowl at both of them as they leave.
"So Teddy, what do you want to do" I notice he has a book bag.
"Dad said I should try to do my homework."
"Alright, come on. What do you have to do?"
"I have to finish this" he takes out his notebook and opens it to a page and I see a whole bunch of dotted Capitalized and lowercase E's.
"Alright, I'm sure you know what you have to do. I'll watch over you and make sure you got it."
"I also have to practice my name!"
I smile at him. "Okay, Teddy. Let's get started! Let's go to a table."
We walk to the diner table and I sit next to him. He began to trace the dotted lines and he seems proud of himself doing it. I get a kick out of seeing him smile.
Christian POV.
When we get to the school and we both head inside walking towards the gym. Phoebe is holding on to my hand pulling me in.
When we walk in Phoebe runs to the snack table grabbing chips and cookies.
"Christian! Come!" She says and I stand next to her. "You don't want?"
"Not now"
The principle walks in and greets all the dad and thanks us for coming. He tells us about the snack table and drinks. Then just tells us to have a fun time.
"Can we take a picture?" She point to the area where they have photographer set up. There's actually two photographers here. We walk over to the area and see some props. Phoebe grabs a tiara. I put on a kings crown and grab a sword. "Let's do something funny or weird."
"Anything you want" I smile.
"You two ready?" The photographer asks and we nod.
Phoebe smiles but covers her face slightly as if she didn't want her picture taken. I raise my eyebrow at her and raise my sword out to the camera. She looks up at me and giggles then gets back to her pose.
After the photo is taken is the guy tells us we can pick it up before we leave at the end of the dance.
Phoebe grabs my hand and drags me to me her friends.
Tonight is going to be interesting.
Ana POV.
Teddy and I sat at the table finishing his homework for an hour. Well. It didn't take him that long. We just took breaks and joked around a lot.
Now we're baking red velvet cupcakes.
"Who taught you how to bake?" He asks me.
"Myself" I answer "I kept practicing and practicing until I got better."
"Dad can't cook he sucks" teddy said and I laugh "he burns bread"
"Someone should teach him how to at least make bread"
"Gail tried but he still sucks. Maybe you should teach him."
"Maybe" I smile "alright come on help me mix this"
After we finish mixing the cake mix we pour it in the cupcake pan and put it in the oven for about twenty minutes.
We make the cream cheese frosting. Teddy kept sticking his finger in to taste. After that we put the frosting in the fridge until the cupcakes are done and cooled down.
About ten minute later we take out the cupcakes and let them cool before frosting them.
"So what should we make for diner?" I ask Teddy.
"When is dad and Phoebe coming back?"
"Around 7pm" I answer him.
"Can we make lasagana and garlic bread?"
"It's lasagna Teddy" I laugh "And sure," I nod "but we have to go out and buy the ingredients. Are you down?"
"Oh yeah!" He says.
"Alright. Let's go! We'll frost the cupcakes after we get back." I grab my wallet, keys and phone and head out with Teddy.
I can honestly say I'm having a good time with Teddy.
I might post a second chapter today. :)
