Chapter Seven:
Dinner was amazing. We held hands almost the entire time, we talked and laughed the whole night. It was just perfect. We're back at my apartment and I'm making another cup of tea for us. "Would you like a cookie?" I turn to him and he's smiling at me.
"Yes please." I smile and reach for the cupboard, I turn my head and see Christian eyeing my ass from across the counter and giggle at him. "That is my new favourite sound." A blush creeps up my face as I lean over and kiss his cheek. I put the cookies on the plate and give them to him. I turn and grab the mugs and place his in front of him. I take a cookie and dip it in my tea, he watches and does the same.
"How have I never had this before?" I laugh at his facial expression and he winks at me.
I wake up wrapped in Christians arms. I glance over at the clock.
"Shit!" It's 10.00AM! Christian groans next to me as I get out of bed and run into my closet.
"What are you doing." He murmurs into the pillow.
"It's ten! I need to go to school! Don't you have to teach?"
He sits up and rubs the sleep out of his eyes, his hair sticking up in different places. He looks so cute it's unbelievable, no one should look this good in the mornings.
"My only class is yours, last period." He flops back down on the bed and pulls the covers over his head. I get dressed and tie my hair up, then make my way to the end of the bed. I grab the end of the duvet and yank it off him. "Noooooo." He groans and curls himself into a ball.
"Come on. My car is being serviced so you have to drive me. Get your ass up Grey." He groans again so I get on the bed and start jumping next to him. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I shout at him and he grabs my legs pulling me down on the bed. I gaze up at him and give him puppy dog eyes. "Please, sir." He gasps and kisses me passionately. I pull away and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I go to walk back in I hear that he's on the phone.
"No I did not get laid last night Elliot...Yes I know I wasn't at home last night...Maybe...Yeah ok I was with a girl but she's special alright?...Because she's different...No you can't meet her she's- you can't meet her...Because she's not going to want to date me if she knows what a horrific brother I have!...I'm joking!...No, not about the dating part...I haven't asked her yet...Oh fuck off Elliot!" I hear him hang up and curse a bit then I walk in with a brightnsmile on my face.
"You're dressed! Can you take me to school then?" He nods and gives me a hug before grabbing his keys and following me out the door. When he pulls up he puts his hand on my knee.
"I'll see you last period. I'm going to go home and get dressed then I'll meet you for lunch ok?"
"I promised Kate I'd have lunch with her today." He looks disappointed but then smiles. "Well I figured it's the least I could do considering she caught us in a compromising position yesterday. Twice." He chuckles.
"Ok, I'll see you last period then." I nod and lean over to kiss his cheek but he turns his head so that I kiss him on the lips and we make out for a couple of minutes. I pull away again.
"Ok now I really have to go. Laters baby." He laughs and grins back at me as I walk round the car to his side, he puts down the window and I give him another kiss and run into school. I catch up on the work missed in English and before I know it it's lunch and I nearly sprint to the table hoping to catch Kate in order to tell her not to tell anyone, and to tell her everything that happened yesterday. I walk over to the table to see Kate sitting there alone. Thank god. "Kate!" I walk over to her and sit down, before I can speak she takes my hand.
"Tell. Me. Everything. Did you do other stuff? Did you just make out? Did you lose your v card-"
"-Kate! No, we did, other stuff but I'll tell you later. I didn't have sex with him though." She nods and grins at me.
"This is so exciting! My little Ana banana has a boyfriend!" Just before I can tell her to keep it down I hear a familiar voice behind me.
"I hope you two are prepared for next lesson." Kate looks at me and has a slight smirk on her face as Christian makes his way to the head of the table. "Anastasia I'm going to need those papers on my desk as well." I did them with him last night and I have them in my bag.
"I have them now if you want them, sir." He shakes his head.
"Just put them on my desk at the beginning of the lesson, ok?" I nod and smile at him, he smiles down at me. "I'll see you soon, ladies." Kate nods at him and looks at me when he's out of sight. He's acting off, I wonder why.
"He loves you."
"Stop it Kate, let him be the one to say it not you." She gasps and throws her hand over her mouth.
"You love him too!"
"Shut up Kate. And you can't say anything to anyone about him, understand? He could get in a lot of trouble with this ok? Not while I'm still in his class." She nods and places her hand over her heart and swears that she won't. Just then Mia bounces over to us with Ethan.
"Guys! Me and Ethan are officially a couple!" We congratulate them both and they smile at each other, they're so cute. Then Mia looks around and leans in to us. "Speaking of couples, apparently my brother has a girlfriend." Kate shoots a knowing look at me and I ignore it.
"Really? A girlfriend you say? Seattle's most eligible bachelor?" Kate says, feigning shock. Mia doesn't see that she's being sarcastic and continues.
"Yeah! Our other brother Elliot called me this morning and said he told him he was seeing someone. He hasn't asked her yet but he will soon! How exciting is that! Christian's never even brought a girl home before!" Kate is smirking at me and I glare at her.
"You say he's never brought a girl home before?" I'm intrigued.
"No he hasn't. Me and Elliot thought that he was a virgin. Maybe he's not anymore." She winks and nudges me, he's definitely not a virgin. Not by the way he was touching me. Maybe he's just had friends with benefits.
"What else did he say about her?"
"He said that she is insanely beautiful, she makes him laugh a lot, he loves being around her, and don't tell anyone this, but he thinks he's falling for her." I accidentally let out a squeal, then play it off as a cough. Kate chuckles and I shoot her another death glare.
"Well, Ana has a boyfriend too." My eyes dart up to Kate, shocked.
"What? Really?"
"Yeah, really?" Ethan and Mia have started to sound the same. It's true love.
"Don't sound too surprised. And he's not my boyfriend." I plead Kate to stop with my eyes. She ignores me.
"Well I caught them making out on her sofa, it got kind of steamy-"
"-Kate I think we need to get to class now, Chri- Mr Grey will be expecting us. Bye guys!" Before she can protest I have her hand and am dragging her out the lunch hall into the corridor. "You promised me you wouldn't say anything!" I scold her, giving her my best death glare.
"You told me that I couldn't say anything about him, there's no reason I can't mention your new boyfriend."
"He's not my boyfriend." I say in my most menacing tone possible. She puts her hands up in defeat and chuckles.
"Ok, ok. Come one, loverboy will be waiting for you." I slap her arm and we begin walking to Christian's classroom. We walk in and there are a few people in there, not all of them. Christian is sitting at his desk, reading some papers. I take the sheets I worked on last night with him out my bag and walk to his desk with them. "Mr Grey?" I expect a response but he doesn't even look up at me. "Mr Grey." I say a bit louder and he looks up, his usual soft, warm face is hard and cold. What's up with him?
"Yes, Anastasia?" Whoa, he sounds irritated. Have I done something?
"I uh, have those papers ready."
"Put them on my desk." Why is he being so cold towards me? Just a few hours ago he was kissing me and asking to meet me for lunch.
"Um, ok." I place them lightly on his desk and take my seat. I look to Kate as she shrugs, she must have seen the way he was acting. I get my stuff out and start to write the starter. I can't decide on which of the categories to write about so I choose both and hope that it will make Christian stop being so cold towards me.
"Anastasia, read yours out." He doesn't even look at me when he says it.
"Well I couldn't decide between the two so I did both."
"Well maybe you should have just chosen one instead of loitering between the two, you're wasting my time." I can't help but feel that might be a personal dig at me, but what for? I don't understand. The rest of the lesson goes on like that, him putting me on the spot then ridiculing me for no reason and I'm getting pissed off. I haven't even done anything. I get a text and see it's from Ray.
Hey Annie, I'm really sorry but your mom is in hospital. She overdosed and is in a coma, I'm flying over to Georgia this afternoon so you don't have to miss anymore school. I'll call you later x
I can't see straight, my mom is in a coma? This can't be happening I thought she was ok? She was when I left her. I stand up to leave, I can't breathe. "Where do you think you're going?" That's the last thing I hear before everything goes black. That, and, "Ana!"
A/N - I just finished this chapter so I thought I'd go ahead and post it. Did you guys hear about the book in Christian's POV being released?! I'm so excited, I've already got my countdown on haha. Anyways thanks for reading and I might not be updating as frequently now because I have three papers this week so I'll be revising for those (something I desperately don't want to be doing) I'll see you whenever, love you all!
