Christian's Pov
NOT EDITED, DON'T COME AT ME! ENJOY OR DON'T READ ^^
The day went excruciatingly long, which was a first for me. It's not the first time that I work on a weekend, and I doubt it will be the last. But I never had the impression that the day was dragging because I always loved doing what I do. Yes, sometimes it's exhausting, sometimes it even makes me question my morals and behaviour as a human being, but it's never been a chore for me. I mean, how many times have I been dragged out of the office by Elliott or Grace?
And today, I spent my day looking at my phone, seeing time pass extremely slowly and making me wish I could just snap my fingers and pass the time. And of course, it made me less patient with the stupidity I had to endure today.
I know that the reason today was so painfully slow is because I know I could have been spending the day with Ana and showing her a place she's never seen before. All day long, I had to refrain from the urge to text her incessantly. I mean, I could have, but she would have probably thought that I was turning into an overbearing boyfriend.
So it was with great pleasure and relief that I joined the girls after work, at a small restaurant Mia has been swearing to. They tell me about their day, though Mia is more vocal than Ana about that, but this isn't news to me. Mia loves to talk, which I think is why she became a writer. So she can tell many people about all the things she wants to talk about and like that she doesn't bother us.
All throughout dinner, Mia keeps telling Ana that she needs to come back whilst she is still here so they can do many other things, but Ana doesn't commit to that. Though I don't think it's because she doesn't like Mia, but because she is a pragmatic girl and she already knows that Mia isn't here for that long.
After dinner, Taylor drives us to Mia's place, and once there, I get out of the car to walk her to her door, but Ana kisses Mia goodbye and tells us that she needs to call Kate so to go on without her. I don't say anything, but to be honest, I am a bit annoyed that she didn't wait to do so. I mean, we're going back to Seattle, I'm sure she could have waited a bit to tell her friend whatever she needed to tell her. But I'll wait for us to be alone to tell her about this.
As I walk Mia to her building, Mia keeps gushing about how pretty Ana is and how much she likes her. I don't say anything, still upset that Ana didn't at least wait for us to be back at the hotel, and it seems that Mia notices my mood because she puts her hand on my shoulder and reassuringly tells me,
"She's not being rude, she's giving us some alone time since we didn't get the chance to catch up just the two of us. Your girlfriend is just nice and full of attention like that. I like her, she's nice."
Okay, I didn't think about that. Can Ana be any more perfect? It's true that I haven't had the chance to talk to just Mia, and I was planning on calling her later in the week. But Mia and I have always been close and I am grateful for this opportunity that Ana is giving us. It's just ten minutes with my baby sister, but it still means a lot.
"You seem pretty smitten," Mia says as we get into the elevator and I shrug because, really, what can I say to that? It's the complete and utter truth, and I am not ashamed of it.
'Why shouldn't I be? She's smart, funny, independent and drop-dead gorgeous. I. Have every reason to be smitten."
"Your babies are going to look so cute," she swoons and I follow her to her apartment, rolling my eyes at her statement.
'We're not there, yet." Unlike Elliott. Elliott has always liked sleeping around, but he also always said that if a baby mama suddenly appeared out of nowhere, he was totally ready to play daddy for his kid. I am definitely not. Kids are not on my agenda yet. Maybe in the future, but I can barely manage myself and I'm in therapy every week, I can't manage a whole other human being. Nope. But maybe, with Ana, it will come sooner than I ever thought.
"Did you already exchange your words of love?"
I don't answer anything to that because the truth is, I am still waiting for Ana to say the words first. At some point, I thought that she would do it yesterday night, the way she was looking at me was screaming love, but she didn't, and maybe I was just hoping for something that isn't actually here.
Mia gently rubs my arm in comfort but I still keep it to myself. "What about .., you know?"
This, I can't keep inside. "It's fucking hard and I fucking hate it," I burst before starting a small rant. "She's such a touchy person, and … She wants to go clubbing with her best friend for her birthday, and I can't even say I'll take her dancing! And there is this Jose idiot who is half-naked and all over her all the time! I fucking wish I had solved this issue years ago."
"Oh, yes. She mentioned Jose. He called her earlier to say he got his venue. But I wouldn't worry, Christian. Ana didn't complain even once about not touching you. She didn't even allude to it."
I glare at her because I was honestly hoping for a little sympathy from her. Especially in regard to Jose. Mia has always been a jealous girlfriend toward her boyfriends, so surely she, above anyone else, should understand.
She shrugs and says something ridiculous, "From what I gathered, Jose is Ana's Gia."
"It's not the same," I grumble. Gia has never shown any interest whatsoever in Elliott. They have been friends since they were teens, and never even once it came to either of their minds the idea of being anything but friends.
"that's because she knows the true Elliott. The one who can burp the alphabet backwards," Mia jokes, wrinkling her nose, and I shake my head with her. Yeah, Kate has definitely put some class into that brother of ours. "But none of us would understand if Kate was jealous of Gia. Because we know her history with Elliott."
I see her logic, but I don't commit to this conversation. She doesn't know that I have every right to be jealous. Yes, Gia is definitely hot, even though she's a blonde now, but Elliott never saw her as anything other than her friend. In fact, there was more sexual chemistry between Gia and me than between her and Elliott. If it hadn't been for my touch issues, I would have definitely tried something back then, when she was still a brunette, and I know that she wouldn't have minded.
"Anyway," I simply say, putting my hands in my pockets. We'll see if she still sings the same tune when she'll see the idiot next to Ana and the way he acts around her.
Mia gives me a small encouraging smile and tells me, "I have a good feeling about it, Christian. I'm seeing wedding bells and all of that. So don't blow it off. I like Ana. She's cool."
"Mia, you should know by now, I'm always ever so the gentleman."
She rolls her eyes and mutters something under her breath, looking for her keys.
"What?"
She shrugs and taps my shoulder in a condescending way, "You're not there yer. But just so you know, we ladies, don't always need a gentleman in our lives. Especially when it comes to … you know."
"Elliott! Leave this body!" I shudder, taking a step back. Oddly enough, I have always been rather open to Mia about my 'sexual life', but now that I have a girlfriend, it just seems wrong. She laughs at me, opening her door as she says nonchalantly,
"I'm just letting you know, bro. You know what they say, the quiet ones outside are the wild ones inside."
"Go home, Mia!"
She laughs and kisses me goodnight before finally getting to her apartment, and I go back down to the car where Ana is waiting for me, playing with her phone. As I see her sitting in the backseat, waiting for me, it seems obvious to me now that she was giving Mia and me some alone time.
I get in the car and kiss her, and she smiles at me, putting her phone away as she lets me know,
"Your sister is nice."
"She likes you. A lot."
"Of course, she does. What's not to like?" She jokes and I shake my head, laughing with her before asking her,
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go before we leave tomorrow?"
"Well, Mia took me to the botanical garden, but … can we do the wheel?" She asks, slightly blushing which makes me smile. I love it when Ana blushes, I love seeing the blood turn her milky skin pink, before tainting slightly redder. And the same thought comes to my mind as always, does she blushes the same everywhere on her body?
"Who would have thought that you'd want to do something so cheesy?" I tease and she quickly regains her composure and her sass,
"Of course I'm cheesy. I'm actually the queen of cheese. I have this whole list in my head, and so far, you're fucking scoring all the boxes. I'd say you're doing pretty good, Mr Grey."
"Oh really?" I taunt, rejoiced beyond words to know that I'm doing pretty great at this whole boyfriend thing. Especially when she smiles at me as she does and moves so she can be closer to me as Taylor drives us back to our hotel.
