Chapter 4
Elena POV
I can't believe Christian blew me off like that. How dare he choose her over me after everything I have done for him? He was acting like a fucking puppy in love. I cannot allow this little gold digging whore to get in my way. I knew I recognized her name. She is the little troublemaker that ruined my brother Matt's life. Because of her there has been a warrant of arrest out for him for the past 12 years. She falsely accused him of abuse. I have kept him safe and supported him this whole time. I think it is time this little nobody pays us back for all the pain and hardship we have been through. I know she is staying with Elliot at Escala but not sure on the apartment number. I text Matt and tell him to write a welcome back letter to her and leave it with the lobby manager. Then I call Leila and I arranged a little surprise for Christian.
Ana POV
What the fuck? This is all I need. So much for keeping a low profile. They are going crazy and starting to get a bit violent. His security is trying there best to keep them away but failing miserably. I am being crushed into Christian. He is trying to be protective. He has his hand over my shoulder holding me close and the other hand out in front of him pushing away the cameras. I glans across the car park and our eyes lock and my whole body freezes. It cant be. How did they find me? The idiot reporter stands up in front of me and whacks me just above my right eye. Before I know what's happing I am in Christians arms being carried across the parking lot with blood dripping down my face and then I am put into the comfort of his SUV and Christian slides in next to me.
"Ana are you ok?" Am I ok? What the fuck does he think? I was just assaulted on my first night on the city and then carried across the fucking parking lot. I am angry and tired and embarrassed and pissed. But I can't say all that to him so I just go with.
"Yes thank you. I will be fine. Just give me a cloth to wipe my head and get me home please."
"You are not fine. You are bleeding here let me help you. Taylor, take us to the emergency room, Ms. Steele is hurt."
"Oh now I am Ms. Steele. It's a small cut it will be fine. I think. No Christian please I will be ok. I will put a bandage on it when I get home. Please do not go out of your way for me?"
"Ana it is not out of my way. I was responsible for your safety and I let you down. Now you are hurt. So can you please just let me take care of you?" His responsibility. Is he fucking crazy? I notice Taylors pleading eyes through the review mirror and decide to humor Christian.
"Ok thank you for the help." We got to the hospital and Christian insisted on his mother seeing to me. Dr. Grace Grey walks in and she is a very beautiful lady. She walks in and stands there looking stocked.
Christians POV
My mother is standing there stunned looking between Ana and me. So I introduce them. But what do I say. Is she my friend or what dam?
"Mother lovely to see you. This is Anastasia Elliot's roommate." That should work.
"Hi Anastasia I am Dr. Grey. Let me take a look at that wound. What happened to you darling?" I tell my mother the story and to my horror Ana needs 4 stitches. I am so pissed. That fucking reporter is done. He will never fucking get a job in this city again.
"Thank you Dr. Grey for all your help."
"Please call me Grace dear?" I can tell my mother likes Ana a lot. This makes me smile.
"Ok only if you call me Ana?" she has such a beautiful name but hates to use it.
"That's a deal. Now you go home and rest. Christian keep an eye on her because she may have a concussion." I will make sure of that.
Grace POV
I walk into the room and am shocked to see my youngest son standing over a beautiful woman. He is looking very anxious. But by the way he is looking at here I can tell my baby is in love. Lets call it's a mothers instinct. I always thought he was gay though. It has been such a long time since he has come to one of our family dinners. It breaks my heart that he is so lonely. He tells me how the pap's attacked them and I am horrified. I stitched her up and sent them off. This is the first time since Christian came to us that I have seen him smile so much. It is such a beautiful thing to witness. I look over at Taylor and we make eye contact and he smiles and nods at me and I just know. He feels the same way. My baby is such a gentleman. He takes her hand and helps her all the way out. Never breaking contact with her. I did not know Elliot had a female roommate. Maybe they are a couple. I need to find out everything. We will have a long chat on Sunday at lunch.
Matt POV
When m sister informed me Ana was at the club I had the perfect opportunity to break through her tough girl act. I stood across the street with her gold digger of a mother in my arms and waited for her. When our eye's locked together I instantly saw the surprise then the fear. Its been 12 years but she sure as hell did remember me. I will play Carla along for as log as I need her then she will take the fall for us.
Jose POV
Elliot and I are having such a good time at the club tonight. Kate eventually came to meet Elliot and his mood immediately changed. He is so in love it is actually funny. It was so funny when he told us how his little brother thought he was with Ana. It is actually sad that Christian lives such an isolated life that he barely even knows what is going on in his own brothers life. Elliot did mention he very seldom attends family functions that is why he has never met Kate. The other reason was Ana and I never visited him in Seattle so it makes sense why Christian has never met us it was always Elliot visiting us. I am an only child and I hate it. I wish I could have siblings to share my day with. Ana is the closest thing I have to a sibling even if I would like to have more with her. I hated the way Christian and her were looking at each other and when they left the club together I needed to make an excuse to leave to. I did not want her alone with him.
