Just Incase You Forgot What You Are Reading (Do not be shy, I forget all of the time):
What if Christian got a girl pregnant when he was just eighteen? What would happen when Christian finds out about the child? What would Ana and the rest of the Grey's think when the child becomes a target after seventeen years of not knowing the truth? What would happen when everything just... spirals out of control?
Chapter 14: Please Tell Me That This Is A Joke
Nicolette groaned as her dad looked at her once more.
"Nicolette, I said no. Some guy that you know has killed and raped girls like you has been in your bedroom and made a promise to get you. I'm sorry, but that lunch with your friend will have to wait. Your safety is much more important." Christian rolled his eyes at Nicolette, while thinking.
Dear lord she is my daughter.
"Dad, we have rescheduled this lunch five times now. Please, it has been a week since that guy was in my room. Please please let me go. Dad, he'll start to think that I don't want to be friends with him and hate me forever." Nicolette huffed.
Good, I don't want him near you. Christian thought.
"I'm fine with that, the less boys the better." Christian snorted.
"Dad! Please, this one lunch. And like thirty minutes of touring. Please, after that I will sit in my room and do nothing." Nicolette attempted. Christian sighed.
"Fine you can go-" Christian was cut off by Nicolette's cheering.
"Wait! You can go on four conditions." Christian gave Nicolette his business look.
"Yeah?" Nicolette asked.
"Yes. 1) You bring six security agents with you. Ryan, Taylor, Sawyer, Strong, Reynolds, and Parker. Your mother and I will stay here and the other two will get overtime. 2) You listen to all of them, and they will be reporting back to me if you listened or not. 3) Promise to never go anywhere, like the bathroom, without alerting two of them. And 4) You and Oliver don't even think about touching, and you follow the regular laws and rules." Christian reasoned, Nicolette nodded happily.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you dad! This means so much to me! Oliver is my only friend here in Seattle. Thank you so much dad!" Nicolette grinned, as she ran around her dad's home office desk and hugged him. Christian hugged back pressing a kiss to her crown.
"Go get ready. I'll alert security." Christian sighed as Nicolette ran off and he buzzed for Taylor, who came into his office two minutes later.
Christian explained the situation, and Taylor nodded before leaving the office.
Thirty minutes later Christian watched with the six security guards as Nicolette rounded the hallway, in a pretty green dress that hugged her arms with sleeves that ended at her elbows, the torso hugged her body, but was let out at the waist and ended just above the knee, she wore gold flats, with gold bangles on her wrist, her copper hair was half up and half down, and her green eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"By dad, thank you so much again!" Nicolette smiled.
"Be safe, Nicolette." Christian hugged his daughter once again before watching her leave the penthouse (after she grabbed the gold Coach purse Ana had held out to her and hugged her again) with all the security, but Taylor and Sawyer.
"Taylor, do you think I have gone extreme with the security?" Christian asked, when Ana had gone back to her library.
"Permission to speak freely sir?" Taylor asked, with Christian's nod he continued. "If it were my Sophie, I would have locked her in a tower and stood by the door with my rifle. There will never be enough security to keep my little girl safe." Taylor answered, causing Sawyer and Christian to laugh.
"At least someone knows how I feel." Christian sighed, shaking his head.
Taylor and Sawyer were still laughing when the service elevator stopped in the parking garage. Where Nicolette was waiting in the back of the Audi, for Ryan to drive with Strong in the passenger seat, two SUVs sat sandwiching the Audi. The SUV in front of the Audi was the SUV Taylor was going to drive with Reynolds in the passenger seat and the one behind the Audi Sawyer was going to drive with Parker in the passenger seat.
Taylor tapped on the glass where Nicolette was seated, she rolled down the window and smiled.
"Thank you guys so much for doing this." Nicolette grinned.
"No problem Miss Grey, but you will have to remember your father's rules. I am not going to deal with another Ana mishap." Taylor warned.
"What'd mom do?" Nicolette asked suddenly intrigued, Taylor chuckled putting on his sunglasses.
"I am not giving you any ideas." Nicolette shook her head as she rolled the window up, while Ryan and Strong chuckled- clearly remembering whatever her mom did to make Taylor hate going out with the Grey women.
She'd have to ask her mom later.
-...-...-...- Oliver's POV
I watched from the sidewalk waiting for the familiar vehicles that belonged to the Grey family, while my friends were laughing at me.
"Dude, just admit it. You made up that Nicolette girl." Ronnie laughed, Ronnie is about seven feet tall with a bulky build- he is a football player and one of the best. Which is why he got a full ride scholarship into Law School from Seattle State. He has been my roommate ever since freshmen year.
"Ronnie, maybe he doesn't want to admit it just yet." Sona, sighed. Sona has long dark ebony hair with matching eyes, yet she dresses so uniquely you probably wouldn't even notice.
Today she was wearing a purple skirt with matching pumps and a bright pink vest top. She is going for a med degree, like me, only for pediatrics instead of brain surgery. And has been Marvin's girl since before college.
Speaking of Marvin, he was typing something out on his phone- probably trying to make last adjustments on some geek project he was working on. Marvin was probably the brainiest kid I know, and probably will be for life. The kid graduated High School when he was fourteen, and wasn't allowed into college quite just yet, so he started when we started. At eighteen- not that he didn't do online courses during the four year period of no school.
Marvin's roommate is Nick- who's dirty blonde hair and soft blue eyes were easily over looked by his protruding stomach and soft arms, Nick is a video game extraordinaire. He could tell you the make, model, who released it, who created it and when it came out just by hearing the name. Which probably isn't an accomplishment he should brag about.
Nick's sister Clarissa is with us, they're twins, and even though they have the same eye and hair color, they couldn't be more different. While Nick doesn't care much about health, Clarissa's body is her temple and refuses to put more than the required amount of calories to survive a day in her body.
And she works all of that off.
"Come on guys. Give the girl a chance to sho-" Clarissa didn't get to finish her sentence as a sleek black SUV parallel parked on the curb followed by a white Audi (that was cleaner than my mom's kitchen) and another sleek black SUV.
A man wearing a sharp black suit jumped out of each SUV's passenger side door, and out of the Audi, the one from the Audi opened up the back door and helped Nicolette out of the car.
"Oliver! Sorry about the wait. Dad had to make some revisions to the security detail." Nicolette apologized, I grinned. Watching as the three vehicles parked quickly and their drivers ran over to the three other guards.
"Its fine, we didn't wait long did we guys?" I turned to find my five friends staring at Nicolette with their mouths open.
"Are they OK?" Nicolette asked, she looked adorable with her head cocked to the side staring at my friends with a confused look on her face. I smiled gloatingly.
"Yeah. They'll be fine. Let's go inside." I walked with Nicolette to the door with my friends behind us.
We were just at some restaurant that wasn't very fancy, but there were still hosts and hostesses called Mama's, it was the best damn place to eat pasta and I remembered from our first conversation about how much Nicolette loved pasta.
"Name?" The hostess asked, Ronnie was about to say Wikes (his last name) when the biggest guy with a buzz cut, spoke up.
"Grey." The hostess looked up quickly from her reservation sheet and tried to spot the Grey family, but since Nicolette wasn't that publicly known yet the lady didn't recognize her.
We were led to a large, private room where the security guys instantly left three guys behind with us while the other three went to search the room.
"What's up with all the security?" Marvin asked.
"My dad is Christian Grey, the CEO of Grey Enterprises and Holdings. We've been getting a lot of threats about people wanting to kidnap me or my mom to use us as leverage against my dad." Nicolette answered.
"So this is your normal day?" Sona gasped.
"No, security got really tight last week after a threat was hand delivered to my room. I usually only have two guys." Nicolette shrugged. Clarissa sighed.
"You say it like it isn't a big deal."
"I have no say in the matter. My mom didn't get away with ditching security. I highly doubt I will. My dad didn't even want my coming here today. That's why it took so long for me to get here. I had to convince him that it would have a purely negative affect on me." Nicolette laughed. I love that sound.
The three security guys came out from the room and let us in. Closing the door behind us, but leaving two guys at the door. The other four guys were spread throughout the room, the biggest guy stood by the window with the next to biggest guy (who I noticed was constantly with Ana Grey) was standing by some other door with another man I did not recognize, but the two men standing by a window opposite of the biggest guy I recognized as the men at were constantly with Nicolette.
We all sat at the table, as the others fired questions at Nicolette one by one.
"What's a normal day for you?" Ronnie asked, I rolled my eyes at Ronnie.
"The same as your normal day. I'm still a teenager, I just have publicly known parents." Nicolette answered with a shrug.
"Do you prefer Chanel or Maybelline?" Clarissa asked.
"Neither, bare minerals if I do wear make up though." Clarissa nodded.
"So I heard that you grew up on a farm in Florida, is that true?" Marvin asked, Nicolette nodded.
"Yeah, Haven, Florida. On the South Carolina, Florida line. Its farming and fishing country. My dad worked a corn, wheat and hay farm." Nicolette answered honestly. When the waiters came Taylor gave them the third degree, just to make sure that no nut products were even being worked on while Nicolette's food was being made. To which Nicolette looked up shyly from her menu at the other teens and said.
"I'm highly allergic to nuts- specifically peanuts. I guess dad told Taylor to make sure that nothing was made near my food that had nuts in it." The teens nodded and everyone ordered.
Soon the teenagers were smiling and laughing while telling stories about each other.
"Dear lord! There Ronnie was on the field wearing his pink tutu, pink socks and pink helmet to raise money for the breast cancer awareness! And he wasn't the only one, all of the football players were wearing that!" Clarissa smirked while everyone else was laughing.
"HEY! It was mandatory!" Ronnie defended, we were still laughing.
Most of us were finished eating except for Ronnie and Nick, who were on their third helping of pasta, when music filled the room.
"What is that?" Nicolette asked, her brows scrunched over her gorgeous green eyes.
"Dance hour! OMG, its going on!" Clarissa smiled pulling Ronnie out of his seat while Sona did the same to Marvin, I sighed knowing that none of us would escape from this- not that we ever have.
"Its super fun, come on!" Sona shouted, pulling Nicolette out of her seat this time, knowing that Nick and I would follow.
The two guards at the door gave Nicolette a strange look as she was pulled out of the room and onto the makeshift dance floor.
"Miss Grey where are you going?" The taller man asked.
"Dancing, evidently." Nicolette answered as Sona started dancing to some Kesha song. The floor was practically empty- it was empty if you excluded us. Sona and Clarissa's moods were catchy and by the middle of the song everyone was dancing. Nicolette was swaying her hips to the beat, like she knew what she was doing and that is when I remember her telling me that she was in a band. So she did kinda know what she was doing.
By the end of the third song all of us didn't care who was watching anymore. When the music slowed down, and a soft tune came out Sona and Marvin were dancing together, while Clarissa and Ronnie were dancing together. I looked at Nicolette and she shook her head and wrapped her arms around my neck. Instantly my hands went to her lower back and we moved with the beat.
"I didn't know you could slow dance." I say softly, so that the others couldn't hear.
"You didn't ask nor tell me that you could slow dance either. So I guess we're even." Nicolette smiled. I recognized this slow song as a long one and grinned knowing that I'd have her in my arms for a long while.
I could see Sona dancing with Marvin- man they made the strangest pair, eventually Clarissa and Ronnie came into view as they were pressed up against each other making out. They weren't dating, but at the same time they were not not dating either. Its a little confusing at times.
Then Nick came into view with his arms out as if he were dancing with someone, and his eyes closed as he moved around the dance floor. I laughed then turned so Nicolette could see it, I know she did when she started giggling.
"Forever alone?" Nicolette offered, causing me to laugh harder. All of a sudden there was a commotion, everyone stopped dancing to see two boys running for the dance floor. Both latched onto Nicolette's hips, causing the security guys to start walking towards us.
"Its fine! I know them!" Nicolette shouted at them. She pulled the boys' arms off of her and looked at them.
"What are you two doing in Seattle?" Nicolette asked.
"Nikk, we moved here. I'm attending Seattle Prep next fall, and so is Joseph! We applied for the fun of it and we got full ride scholarships! Max said it was an opportunity we couldn't pass up! So we moved here!" they smaller one shouted, he was gleaming with happiness.
"Max moved you two up here?" Nicolette asked, staring at the taller one who nodded.
"Is he here?" Nicolette asked, the boys pointed to a booth where a very tall and well built guy was sitting glowering at me. She shook her head and motioned for one of the guards.
"Yes, ma'am?" It was the biggest one.
"Taylor, Max is here. I don't want to speak to him." Nicolette said, shaking her head. The smaller one gave her a confused look.
"But, Nikki, if you don't talk to him, then how will you fix him?" he asked.
"Fix him?" Nicolette asked, the bigger boy did the drinking sign with his hand.
"Since when?" Nicolette asked.
"Since you caught him in bed with Sarah Beth!" the smaller one said smiling, obviously knowing what was going on.
"Bobby, please don't go around saying that. And seriously?" Nicolette asked, she looked up at the other one Joseph and he nodded.
Nicolette sighed.
"Listen boys. Your brother meant the world to me for a long long time. But not only did he betray my trust, but he broke my heart. I will not go crawling back to him. He needs to fix his mess on his own. You can tell him that the first thing to do to fix his mess though. Is stop drinking. Now, I think your food has arrived." Nicolette sighed, we watched as the boys walked back to their table.
"Taylor, what would be the appropriate action for this?" Nicolette asked.
"Forget him." Taylor answered gruffly, I could be on board for that action. I thought.
"I meant for the boys being in the same house as an underage drinker." Nicolette rolled her eyes.
"Keep in contact with the boys, and watch for signs of harm." Taylor answered again.
"Thank you." Nicolette answered, Taylor nodded and walked away, keeping an eye on Max.
Another slow song started.
"Shall we finish our dance?" Nicolette asked me, I laughed pulling her into my arms again. The others chuckled and started dancing as well. We were halfway through the song when the tall teenager from the table walked over.
"May I cut in?" he asked, obviously asking for Nicolette. It was then that two of the security people walked over.
"Nicolette, your father wants you home." The shorter guy said.
"Of course, Parker. By Max." Nicolette and I walked off the dance floor, followed closely by the others.
"Nicolette Anne Johnson! Ignoring me will not get anything accomplished!" Max shouted after her.
"Its Nicolette Anne Grey, asshole!" Nicolette shouted back. I held in a chuckle as she grabbed her purse and tossed over her head and under one arm so the purse hung across her body.
"I am so sorry about this guys." Nicolette said.
"Don't worry about it. Any high class girl that will dance like that with me is a-ok in my book!" Sona laughed, Clarissa agreed.
"Would it be alright if Oliver gave us your number. That way we can all talk to you if we are going to hang sometime?" Marvin asked.
"Yeah. That would be awesome. Maybe we could go cow tipping." Nicolette laughed, everyone laughed with her.
"We should get going to. Mid-terms for the summer suck ass." Ronnie joked, Nicolette smiled. When we exited the room only three of the guards were with us. I was about to question it when we walked outside and we saw the Audi sandwiched between the SUVs.
The guard I now know as Strong opened the door to the white Audi, while the other two slid inside the passenger seats in a designated SUV. I walked up to the Audi and smiled.
"I hope you had fun." I grinned.
"Absolutely. Thank you for introducing me to your friends. They seem like great people to hang out with." Nicolette smiled at me.
"They are. Listen, if you ever want to like. Go out with me, but without them. I'm cool with it y..." I stuttered, damn it! I had one chance!
"Are you asking me out? Right after I got out of a messy breakup?" Nicolette teased.
"Crap, you're right. I am so so-" I started to apologize but she stopped me.
"I just want a friend right now. I don't want to jump headfirst into any relationship ever again. Let's just be friends and see where that takes us. If that's alright with you." Nicolette blushed.
"It is. I'll text or call you later." Nicolette gave me one of her blinding smiles and pressed a kiss to my cheek.
"That was for understanding, but not running off."
"Be safe alright?" I asked.
"Oh yes, I always wear my seatbelt in the car." Nicolette joked. I shook my head with a smile.
"Miss Grey! Your father is expecting you." The driver of the Audi said.
"Yeah, yeah Ryan. I gotta go. See you around?" Nicolette smiled.
"You bet." I closed the Audi door and stepped back as the parade of cars drove off.
Ronnie looked at me and laughed.
"Dude. You got it bad."
