Chapter 3
Cpov
These past four days have been torture. Mia has been trying to set me up with Lilly and I'm having none of it. I finally told her to back the fuck off and if she dared sit me next to her I would take her credit cards away. Yeah that's what I thought she stopped right away and relented. I will be sitting next to my father and grandfather.
My grandfather and parents have been so supportive of my dreams and ambitions. They loaned me the money to start my business and my father helps with all the legal aspects. Today is the day I get to see my goddess after six years will she remember me? My god I am sweating bullets and I'm shaking I am so nervous.
I turn on the news and see the local news having a field day of excitement. I see the picture and my breath hitches. Her two massive motorhomes are stuck in the traffic of Seattle making their way to Bellevue. There is construction holding them up and I hope it won't delay her arrival. My parents had Elliott pour concrete to extend their driveway to make way for the motorhomes. It will be off to the side so it won't interfere with the circular drive of the guests arriving.
Taylor walks in and sees me staring at the news and chuckles. He knows my obsession with her and the backstory.
"Taylor how do I introduce myself without chickening out?" Taylor is my trusted bodyguard but he knows the true me inside and out. I talk to him more than my family; I would consider him my one and only friend.
"Who knew the all mighty and powerful Christian Grey is shy when it comes to a woman! Jesus Christ at 26 and just a look from you men are shaking in their boots." He tells me and it's true. I can just glare at men or woman in a meeting and they run away a quivering mess.
"Very funny Taylor but I am a mess here you have to help me out here. I have waited six years for this woman and I do not want to wait another minute."
"Boss you are a very good looking man. You have been offered numerous times to be on the cover of GQ and you don't even realize it. When you step into a room all eyes are on you and you alone. You need to go in there with your heed up high and just command the room like you do the boardroom. Make sure you wear your black Armani as I see women melt in your presence."
"Ok your right but how do I approach her?"
"Well I happen to know her head of security Luke Sawyer. While dinner is being served, she will be singing. Once dinner is complete the first dance auction will proceed. While this is going on she will be eating dinner in her motorhome. She cannot eat before a performance as it makes her stomach upset. By the time she is done with her meal she will sing the song for the first dance. Your mother has set up a special tent for the people who have donated extra for her special meet and great. You will pretend to be on a phone call and once everyone has left you will be the last to secretly go in. You need to come up with something to say all on your own though."
"This sounds like it may just work. Ok let's go over there as I promised my mother to be there early to set up." I tell him as he grabs my tux and I grab my phone and we descend in the elevator.
As we make our way out of the garage I hear the loudest roar ever. I see it, the two motorhomes pass by. We follow behind them on the way to Bellevue. Am I following my future? God, I hope so as I want it with her. That instantaneous connection we had I can never forget. My whole body came alive and I had my first ever erection. I've been around gorgeous woman before but nothing nada. No electrical zing, no connection, no feelings whatsoever. I was drawn to her and I still seem to be. Did she feel it to? I think so as I heard her call me Grey eyes.
"Boss these two motorhomes she has are very expensive and are a dream. I hope maybe we can see inside them one day." Taylor comments
"Yes I hope so not only that but that she lets me into her life. I heard she is very stand offish to strangers. With what she went through I understand. Do you think she will be mad that I never stood up for her?" I ask him my unanswered question I ask myself every day.
"No, I don't think so as you said you were only there for 6 weeks before you even saw her. Then it happened two days later. There is no way you could have stopped it as you were bullied in school to. You didn't have the self-esteem to stand up to anyone." Taylor tells me truthfully.
I remember skipping class and I saw her going into the choir room and I listened to her for forever. I never knew it was her voice I was hearing as I only heard the voice the past 6 weeks. One day I finally decided to skip class so I could see who the voice belonged to. I saw her and froze in mid stride as all the breath left my body. Two days later was the attack and she left. From my research, she has never step foot back into Washington. Are we two troubled souls destined to be together? I think and feel so as I am just called to her.
We arrive on my parent's street and the motorhomes are surrounded. They have to go at a snail's pace to get through. The paparazzi are out. They are always out in herds at this event. I rarely make public appearances. This is one event I would not miss as I helped to fund and create the foundation. My mother runs and organizes everything for me. I added the bullying part as it's what drove Anastasia away from me. Taylor calls for back up to help and five minutes later my security comes out from the event to help and block. I always have at least thirty men patrolling my parent's property when they have events like this. These events have hundreds of people and I receive threats daily against me and my family.
We fly into the driveway and I see my mother and sister waiting at the front door. That bitch Kate is with them and she is scowling. Mia is practically jumping up and down with excitement. I see Lilly pop out; great they are all getting ready here together it seems.
The door opens to the motorhome and a huge beastly man comes out. The other door opens and a red hair woman comes out with her iPad. The motorhomes are still running as they probably don't know where to park.
I see my mother approach and Mia almost runs up to them and tries looking into the windows. The man stops her from looking and I walk up to my mom. I have my aviators on as the sun is bright today and a little warm. This will be a great night for the charity as its sold out.
"Sorry Miss Steele is not feeling well at the moment and doesn't wish to be disturbed. She is resting but will be fine for tonight. My name is Sawyer her personal bodyguard where would you like the motorhomes ma'am?" He asks my mother. Fuck what's wrong why isn't she feeling good? I see Mia mope back up to Lilly and Kate and see them roll their eyes. They better not pull anything tonight to my girl. My girl jeez I can't even talk to her.
"Ma'am I'm Molly Miss Steele's manager. Here is her donation to the charity, she wanted me to hand deliver it to you first thing. Thank you for the security escort by the way. We thought we wouldn't be able to get in."
"No problem and please send my gratitude to her for the donation. It was not necessary as she is already donating her time. Does she need me to examine her? I am a doctor can I help in any way?"
Sawyer looks to molly and mouths the word panic and I'm panicking. What is wrong with my girl?
Sawyer looks up and sees Taylor and I standing there. He smirks at Taylor and winks at him as Taylor nudges me. I look to Taylor and turns to me "The plan is a go" is all he says.
"Yes ma'am I think she won't mind you checking her over as we move the motorhomes to the side."
My mother runs in and gets her bag and I see Sawyer place his hand on the door. Holy shit it's a scanner she has air tight security and I'm impressed. My mother climbs in with molly trailing behind her. They move the motorhomes to the side as I see my father and Elliott walk up and whistle.
"Well look at this parade do we have the queen visiting or what? Holy Shit these are multimillion dollar motorhomes Christian you need one of these." Elliott says so loudly as Sawyer descends and presses and flicks some switches. He rolls his eyes as he glares at Elliott who sometimes has no class. I see the motorhome leveling out and its parked for the night. He walks to Taylor and I and shakes Taylor's hand and they slap each other on the back. He looks to me before he speaks.
"So you are Grey eyes huh?" She remembers me?
"Yes that is what she called me. She remembers me?" I ask him softly so my brother doesn't hear him.
"Well she never openly talks about you but when she falls asleep on the couch she sure dreams of you. Her bedroom is soundproof so I only interact with her when she is awake and on the couch. I can tell you this if you hurt that woman I will kick your ass and Taylor here won't be able to stop me." I can feel my jealousy arise in me he shares a motorhome with her. I see Taylor and him laughing and I'm more pissed. Are they laughing at me?
"Grey eyes relax I'm gay and if you are I'm game. Taylor here tells me otherwise though. Damn shame; I drive the motorhome for her and when parked I sleep with the band in the other one."
"Oh thank fuck" I exclaim as I let my breath out. I look at my Rolex and get to helping my father and brother. Eight more hours till I see my goddess I can't wait.
I look up one more time and see the blinds move. Did she see me? Does she recognize me?
