Christian's P.O.V

After looking the background of Ryder Bruce Grover, I knew I would have never allowed my Phoebe to date him. His I.Q is below average, he's committed criminal offence like vandalism etc. His father owns a motorcycle shop and Ryder owns a Yamaha XJR 1300 SP, why would Phoebe want to date a guy with an unsafe motorcycle. I hope this isn't just to spite me, but if it was she would've told me right? I rubbed my temple and groaned, I swear she denies me for the fun of it, a trait she must have got from her mother.

I picked up my tailored jacket and called for Taylor, 'Taylor, take me to Grover's Bikes' Taylor nodded bleakly and I could tell he was curious, I sighed. 'What is it Taylor, spit it out' I commanded, he nodded and replied 'Sir why are you going to a motorcycle shop? Is it because of Ryder sir, because I don't think it's a good idea to go after him after all he is a child' he bowed his head and stepped back before looking at me in the eye.

Nodding I pressed my lips into a grim line, 'I won't sink that low Taylor but I will have a word with him, nothing major. This is my daughter's safety. Now if that's all then I'd like to go' Taylor nodded and led me out to the car, I relaxed in the car and grabbed out my phone to email Ana.

Dear Mrs Grey,

I've had to head somewhere to take care of some business concerning our daughter, I hope your dress shopping is going well although I'm confused to as why you went. You can get our personal shopper in if you wanted, are you doing something for the benefit of Phoebe that I don't know about Mrs Grey?

I do hope your safe and enjoying yourself don't be too long.

I clicked send and closed my eyes trying to keep my anger at bay, a wash of relief washed over me when my blackberry buzzed signalling an email. I withdrew my blackberry and opened the email.

Dear Mr Grey,

What is this business you're attending to? Do I have to persuade you tell me later? I know I could've got a personal shopper but I wanted to spend some time with our daughter and her cousins. I hope you're not doing anything stupid, keep safe baby.

Loving and missing you

I smiled, oh how I love my beautiful wife. The car stopped and I clambered out the car gracefully and stalked towards the shop with Taylor following, 'wait outside, I'll call if I need you' I ordered and he nodded 'sir'

I walked into a stench of oil and grease; I fought the urge to crinkle my nose and kept my face expressionless. I saw a tall, skinny boy who looked about 17; he was cleaning a motor part. His face creased in concentration and his green eyes shined off the part. His dark brown hair looked messy as if he'd been tugging at it, his rosy lips pursed and his eyebrows shot up as he saw me walking closer, 'Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?' he looked down at my grey suit in confusion. That's right you little shit, feel intimidated by me, 'Ryder?' he nodded almost uncertain and I gave him a cold stare, 'Christian Grey' I saw his eyes bulge as he pieced the puzzle together, 'Pheebs and Teddy Grey's father?' he gulped and I tightened my hands into a fist. 'I heard you were in a relationship with my daughter?' he nodded and took a step back 'I also heard that you took her virginity, I could get you done for statuary rape you know?' I took a step forward and his face paled 'Sir please don't call the cops, please I'll do anything' Ryder begged. I sneered down at him, 'I won't only because I don't wish to upset Phoebe,' I saw the colour appear on his cheeks again. 'You stay away from my children or I'll shut your dad's business down and you won't have anywhere to live, you'll be bankrupt and your father will blame you. Treat girls the way they should be or I swear I'll forget you're a minor and seriously injure you and make it look like an accident' I clenched my teeth, 'do we understand each other?' Ryder gaped at me with his mouth slightly ajar and nodded; I walked off 'Good day Ryder' I smiled to myself pleased. I love having power to intimidate opponents, especially ones who think they can mess with my family.

Ana should be fine with this, I didn't hurt him just scared him slightly. I need to keep a protective watch over Phoebe. There is no fucking way she can date without me knowing. Not again. I smirked to myself and climbed into the car ready to go home and wait for my two favourite girls. Maybe I should talk to Teddy about his college applications; I want the best for my son.

Phoebe's P.O.V

Groaning in frustration I slammed the car door in frustration. Fuck sake why the hell does she think she's the hottest girl ever, fucking skanky whore. I closed my eyes and placed them between my knees trying to cam myself down. Great now my mum knows and I bet she'll tell dad. I groaned, why does this happen to me? Why do I have to be a product of a successful business man or whatever he is? To be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck about business or stock markets or whatever. That's Teddy's dream role, I guess. I don't know what I want for my future.

I heard the car door open and my mum climbed in, her hand rub circles on my back trying to calm me down. Just like when I was four and had one of my infamous tantrums that I blatantly inherited from my dad. 'You okay baby?' I looked up with teary eyes and looked at the concerned look on my mum's face, and I broke down crying into her arms, 'Drive us home now please'. Sometimes it's weird how much my dad has rubbed off mum.

I felt the car pull to stop and realised I hadn't moved from my position at all, 'c'mon Pheebs we're home' mum tried to drag me out but I just collapsed on the car seat. The next thing I knew dad had carefully dropped me in his arms. I opened my eyes and saw him pacing, gritting his teeth and tugging his copper hair has he ran his hand through it. God he was angry does anything ever change around here?

I must of dozed off as I awoke with a shock with my mum's arms wrapped around me, she was sleeping soundly. I thought, 'I am awake Phoebe' I groaned, turned over and leant on my arm, 'why didn't you sleep with dad?' she raised her eyebrows in question, 'didn't mean for it to sound like that!' I flopped onto my back and heard mum sigh, 'I told your dad everything and I didn't want to leave you so upset' I smiled at my mum's admission, 'is he mad at you?' mum sighed and turned to look at me 'no, but he's been on the phone to your Uncle all morning' morning? I looked at the alarm 11:30. Oh fuck I slept a long time, I clambered out of bed and wrapped myself in my fluffy cow print dressing gown. 'Are uncle and dad fighting?' Mum swung her legs out of the bed and sat up, 'no not now, but there's concerns with Ava' mum trailed off and I felt anger rise and my ears burned, 'Ava? She gets away with everything doesn't she, what excuse has she made up now for making my life difficult?' I fumed and I heard the door open.

'They're taking Ava to Doctor Flynn's, we think she may have something wrong with her, mentally' I turned to the voice, my dad. His arm was resting against the door and mum strode across to hug him. Dad's grey eyes lit up and kissed her hair, 'really? That's the excuse? Do you know what, I really don't care about her anymore' I screwed up my nose and went to enter the bathroom but Dad's hand blocked me, 'Phoebe that's not very nice, she's your cousin and your family' I groaned, 'since when do family fuck around with their boyfriends?' I pushed dad away and walked off.

Later in the evening I walked down the stairs to see my mother dressed in a satin blue dress with a greeny blue mask which emphasised her eyes. Her hair was curled and around her shoulders, next to her stood in all their glory was Teddy and dad. Dad had his tuxedo on and his arm wrapped possessively around mum's waist and Teddy looking smug probably thinking about what girl he's going to auction for in the charity auction. Me and mum are doing it but Dad will obviously auction mum although I'm nervous about whose going to pick me. Dad was pissed off when he found out I was going to be auctioned and he could only bid one, but mum and I persuaded him. After all it's all for charity. Teddy and mum were arguing about his tie and dad just watched in glee, rolling my eyes I coughed purposely to announce that I'm here, all eyes switched up to me. I nervously walked down the stairs in my creamy white satin dress, with silver lace lined throughout my dress. I adjusted the white silver mask and my eyelashes fluttered through, 'so what do you think?' I twirled and mum squealed in glee, Teddy smirked and Dad looked tense. 'Baby, leave it' mum instructed my dad, dad walked over to be and placed his hand on my shoulder, 'you look beautiful, looks as if I have to keep the guys away tonight' he smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. He was trying and I appreciated that, so I giggled in response.

We were all lead out to the car to go to this business ball that was being held for various charities including Dad's. The people that are invited are the popular and well know business people of the year. My uncle Elliot is going because his building conservation business is really good and Auntie Mia's pastry business is going well. She has these chains of cake shops and bakeries which are obviously doing well. I don't know much about these balls but Dad tells me, it's yearly and that it's all put together to discuss business meetings and propositions whilst enjoying yourselves and donating money to charities. Dad and Mum always go to balls but it's rare that I go; Dad probably thinks that boys are going to try and whisk me off my feet. I mentally laughed at the thought.

Once we arrived at the ball Teddy walked me in with my arm of his following mum and dad. We were all greeted by the rest of the family, even Ava. She smiled and me and tightly returned the smile, something was definitely up and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. 'it's amazing isn't it?' gasped Jasmine I smiled and nodded in return taking a moment to appreciate my surroundings. The tables were pushed to the sides with white table cloths and cutlery I didn't know existed, the stage was in the middle and a floor was blank in front. The lights were turned down low and the lights were dangling from celling reflecting of the streamers and decorations used. There was a long table full of snacks and drinks.

I smiled and excused myself quenching for a drink. I reached the table looking at the portraits that hung above not seeing where my hand was reaching to. I went to grab a drink but felt myself grasping another hand, I jumped back and nearly went flying until the person in question grabbed my waist, 'whoa! You okay?' I blushed stuttered, 'y-yes, uh thankyou' I looked away bright crimson, 'I'm sorry I didn't see you,' his blue eyes glittered, forced to stand out from his wavy light brown hair, my breath hitched in my throat and he smirked, 'That's fine, I should've warned you' I smiled too nervous to talk. His neat eyebrows raised as he looked at the portraits, 'fine pieces aren't they?' I nodded and smiled, 'they're stunning' his strong hands went to offer my a drink but before I could accept I felt an arm wrap around me. 'Come with me Phoebe, we have to get to our table'

Oh God, now dad assumes there is something going on, it was just a chat right? I sighed and nodded, 'yes sure dad,' I gave a small smile to brown hair, blue eyed beauty before letting myself get dragged away to our table. Who is he? I wondered to myself, he's not bad looking oh who am I kidding he's stunning! I giggled to myself and everyone at the table looked at me, 'oh um I was just thinking about something Teddy said earlier' I nodded towards Teddy who merely produced a smug smirk and went on talking about his Assassian Creed game to young Noah, our cousin and the sweet innocent boy of Aunt Kate and Uncle Elliot.

I looked over at the paintings and saw the blue eyed boy sat at a nearby table, he caught my eye and raised his glass in a gesture. I blushed and gave him a small smile which didn't go unnoticed by Mum, Aunt Mia and Aunt Kate who smirked at my crimson cheeks. Dad gave me a warning look and looked over to the boy in question and gave him a cold stare causing him to nod stiffly and look away. Uncle Elliot laughed and patted him on the back. Sighing I leant back in the chair looking at the portraits, waiting for the ball to commence. I get a feeling, it's going to be a long night.

Sorry for any mistakes, i hope you enjoyed it. Sending all my love to those who read!
