New chapter my lovelies, sorry about anything grammatical I typed it out of my phone. Enjoy
Taylor Pov
I just dropped Teddy off when I get a call from the boss; I know he is stressed about finding out who took Teddy. It's almost as he is trying to tell to Ted that he is sorry he could find him early by throwing his body mind and soul into this endeavor.
"Taylor, Welch is trying to look further into the banking records of Teddy's boss, the one whose daughter was his foster mother. I really hope they had nothing to do with this whole thing Teddy would be devastated," he informs me.
"Understood sir," I reply.
"Tell me what you really think Taylor, I need my friend on this one," he sighs and I can tell he is exasperated.
"I think Teddy has been through a lot, I think that the sooner we can catch this fucker the sooner he can heal. If that means digging into the banking records of every person he has ever come in contact with then by all means do it," I tell truthfully.
"Thanks Jason. Have you dropped him off at my mother's house yet?" he asks.
"Yes, the staff on site should be there to monitor him sir. He asked to be picked up in a couple of hours." I tell him.
"Okay, I'll see you back at the house," then he hangs up. Not even ten second later my phone rings again. Without looking at the ID because there is no doubt that it is Christian again, I pick it up.
"Yes Sir?" I ask in a gruff voice.
"Taylor?" Mrs. Grey answers.
"Pardon me Mrs. Grey, I thought it was your son calling again," I explain.
"No problem, I was just wondering if Teddy got outside to you all right. He left here in quit a hurry, he said that he just wanted to say Hi and you were in the car," shit.
Teddy Pov
I look into the mirror and grin to myself; my hair looks amazing paired with the new clothes that Mia instead that I have. I thank the barber and make my way outside to the sunny Seattle day. I decided while I was in the barber shop that I would stay in town for a while, sometimes being a "Grey" can be a little overwhelming. Plus I haven't seen much of Seattle yet and I hear from my family that it is amazing. I know when I get home my parents are going to freak out and yell, but that means they care. And since Sal I haven't had that for a while. Not to mention I have what I have to tell them I'm not quite ready yet.
So I take my board and skate along the pike market district so a while and I must say it is a pretty great little place to shop. There are a lot of little venders and then really big shops as well, not to mention all the people are really kind.
I stop at one of the booths to look at some of the fruit they were selling; feeling a little bit peckish from skipping lunch I decided to buy a peach. I only get to take one bit when a guy barrels right into me knocking the fruit right from my hands. I look up and glare at the man who is now standing right in front of me.
"Watch where you're going next time," I bite out. He looks angry enough to actually throw a punch, not that he would land on one me.
"You stupid brat, don't talk to me like that," well there goes the kind streak that I was experiencing.
"You bumped into me you ass…," I see his eyes grow wide and he gasps out loud. I look at him wondering what the hell happened.
"Holy Crap! I'm going to be rich! You're him aren't you!" he has gotten the biggest smile on his face.
"What are talking about?" I ask confused at his reaction to me.
"You're Teddy Grey aren'tcha!" I gasp and step back, how does this random guy on the streets know who I am? I go to step back farther but the man grabs my arm and pulls me back. He hold it up and over my head then shouts into the crowd of people.
"Look what I got! Teddy Grey long lost Prince of Seattle!" I struggle and try to pull away but people swarm around us trying to get a good look at me. They start to roar and cheer; they point cameras into my face and shout questions at me. Obviously they have been watching the news for the past 10 years. I continue to struggle against the man holding me; he drops me suddenly and as soon as my feet touch the ground a hand grabs mine and yanks me away from the crowd.
I glance back and see the crowd is still swarmed are the man who hand hold of me clearly unaware that I am no longer there. I look at my rescuer but all I can see is a swarm out curly light brown hair and long legs. We are running full tilt trying to put enough space between me and the mass of people who had hold of me ten seconds early.
We round a building and the girl pulls me against the wall, and then looks around the corner to make sure we weren't being fallowed. The last thing I expect is happens when this girl breaks out laughing I just stare at her like she is crazy. But her laughter is contagious so between gasps of air I laugh until I start to cramp up. I slide down on the ground holding my side and suck air into my lungs, then giggle a little bit at how familiar this situation is. The girl who saved me slides down next me trying to get her breath as well; she turns to look at me and I hear and we can't help it but the laughter bubbles up again.
"Okay, Okay, sorry but that is something that has never happened to be before and I totally feel like a badass," she tells me.
"Believe it or not but I have defiantly been in tougher situations before," I laugh.
"Oh yeah Mister Tough Guy, I didn't see you fending to well back there. If fact did you see me swoop in and save your but because I did and I was pretty badass. It's okay you can admit it," she says smugly
"Alright yeah you were pretty bad ass. I'm Theo or Teddy doesn't matter," I tell her reaching out my hand.
"Hi Theo or Teddy, I am Kali nice to meet you," she take my hand then I remember where I have seen her before.
"You bumped into me earlier right?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot! I wasn't watching where I was going and I am really clumsy," she laughs.
"So is it true what that guy was saying? Are you really the son of Christian and Anastasia Grey?" she asks and looks down. I look away and nod, she then stands up and brushes off her pants stretching out her hand.
"Come on my car isn't too from here; I'll give you a lift home," she tells me so I take her hand and she helps me up. I fallow her for about a block until we come to a stop in front of a car; it's a 1992 Toyota Corolla. I grin because this car just screams her all the way. She jumps in the driver's seat and leans over to unlock the door for me.
We take off down the street and she rolls down the windows letting the breeze in. She asks what kind of music I like and I shrug not caring because I like a lot of music. It surprises me when she puts on a hardcore rap song which makes me laugh. I finally get a chance to get a good look at the person that literally comes out of nowhere.
'I can't believe I didn't notice how beautiful she is' is my first thought. Her light brown hair is wildly curly and it looks like she has blonde highlights at the bottom of her hair. She has these cute little freckles that are on her nose and cheeks. I notice as well that she must be about my age if not a year or two older. I smile when I see her singing along the rap song she has on.
"It's not nice to stare Theo or Teddy," she says over the music.
"You don't have to call me both you know," I tell her and she grins over at me.
"I know but you never told me which one you prefer so until then I will call you both,"
"Call me Theo, to many people her call me Teddy." I tell her and she nods. We go back to silence again for a few seconds until she reaches over to turn the music down.
"Hey look so before I saved you butt, I saw you eating a peach and it got knocked out of your hand. So I'm going through McDonalds to feed you okay, not butt, not nuts, no coconuts, got it." I just nod for one feeling quite famished after today and who am I to turn down free food.
She goes through the drive through and we both order food so that we can eat in the car. We make pleasant conversation on the way back to my house, even though I am not too great with directions, but I am glad that she is asking about me and not about my past. She never once asks me about being kidnapped even though I know she knows.
I am laughing so hard at something she said when we finally pull up to my house. It looks damn near like the SWAT team has shown up. There are a ton of black SUVs parked out front and a bunch of security guys walking around all in black. Did they call in the National Guard because I have been gone for a couple of hours? Kali looks at me in shock and I must mirror her right now.
She pulls up to the gate and I jump out to that I can just call in and go up, I don't want them to think that she kidnapped me or something.
"Hey, thanks for everything today Kali, you were a total badass," I smile at her.
"No problem, I'll see you around Theo," she smiles back and backs up away from the gate.
I press the button that allows me to call up to the main security office that will allow me into the house. "Grey Residence" a voice answers the call.
"Hi um this is Teddy, I was wondering if you could open the gates for me," I ask.
"One moment Sir." The man disconnects the phone and ten seconds later I see 10 security guys, Taylor, Sawyer, My Dad, the guys who were in the office this morning, and my mother, come barreling down the driveway. Taylor reaches me first and he looks mad, like really, really mad.
"Teddy where in the HELL have you been! We agreed that you would stay at your grandparent's house until I came to get you later," he nearly bellows. My father isn't too far behind him.
"You scared me to death Teddy! Do you know what that did to us! Taylor had to call and tell us you were gone again, did you even stop to think about us when you went running off?" my mother doesn't say anything but she is crying and comes to hug me. Not to long after I feel my dad wrap his arms around me as well and I can feel his tears drip onto my head as well.
He was right I didn't stop to think how this would affect them; all I thought about was getting away from my kidnapper. My kidnapper, crap I still need to tell them who it was. Ana and Christian both pull away for they can check me over for damage that may have happened to me.
"Oh my Teddy, you hair," my mother says while grinning.
"You like it? I wanted something different, "I tell her tugging on the ends of my hair so I can see the blonde.
"Yes I do like it, it is somehow very you dear," she smiles and kisses my forehead. I look towards Christian and he nods ruffling my hair agreeing with Ana. I need to tell them right now or it will never get out and I will be hiding it forever. I square my shoulders and look Christian right in the eye.
"Dad, I need to tell you something really important. Can we take Taylor with us and talk in your office," he nods looking confused but he knows that it is something serious. He tells Taylor to fallow us and we start to head towards the house. Ana tells us not to take too long because dinner is almost ready. When we get to the office I take the seat where I sat earlier and Taylor sits beside me while Christian sits right behind his desk.
"What is it Teddy, whatever it is you can tell okay buddy," he tells me in a soothing voice. I keep my hand in my lap and my eyes firmly fixed on them.
"I remember who stole me away from you guys, or well the person who came up with the plan anyway," both Taylor and my dad gasp and sit up straighter.
"Who Teddy! Who," Christian says shocked.
"I was just dropped off at GG's house when I heard arguing in the living room. I called out for GG but that's when I heard it. The sound of high heal clicking was always part of my nightmares and this time it wasn't any different. And that voice it was like a snake, I am pretty sure she hissed as well. Anyway she was kind of old but young at the same time like she has had a lot of work done on her face. I think your mother called her Elena." I end my story and Christians face looks like it might blow up from anger or faint.
Okay!Done with this chapter, what did you think? is Kali going to be good for young Theo? what is Christian going to do? Let me know in the comments.
Oh and I wanted your guys feedback, when I am done with this story should I write a squeal where Teddy is a few years older? Please let me know. Until next time-AJ
