I Only Own The Plot
CPOV
"Gail, Luke, and Miss Steele, will you excuse Mr. Grey and myself while we go to the kitchen to hammer out some of the finer details?" Jason asks our small group before heading to the kitchen area. Obviously I am meant to follow him, so I give my Beauty a kiss on the top of her head and walk off. Out of the corner of my eye I see Luke staring at her as if she has two heads before he pulls her into one of the rooms by the entrance. I guess they are going to have a discussion as well.
"Sir, I am only going to ask you this once. I do not want you to think I am questioning Miss Steele's motives. I know she is not here for you money and what you have to offer socially. I am only asking as someone who cares deeply for you. I view you as a family member, a brother even. I just want to make sure this is right for you. Whatever answer you give me, I will accept it and get to work in either direction we go." Jason says once I reach the kitchen. All I can do is stare at him in shock. I knew he cared, but never this much.
"I am a million precent sure of this decision. I can't see myself without her. She loves me for me. She doesn't care that I have a bank account that can keep a small country afloat for decades. She cares about my favorite movies and asks me questions that are deep and questions that only make sense to her. Like the other day she asked if I could only wear one color for the rest of my life, what color would I pick. She made me laugh for at least 30 minutes with that one question alone. She makes me happy even when we argue over big and small things. She actually cares. This is my forever Jason and I want you, my brother, to be by my side as I tie my soul to its mate for all of eternity." I say looking him in his eyes. I guess we have been hanging out with Luke and Ana too much because he gives me a firm nod and pulls out his phone to get to work.
"I would love to stand by your side, but I have a better idea. How about I get ordained online to marry you both? That way we won't have to find a minister on such short notice. You and Ana can fill out the marriage license paperwork online and we can pay to get them finalized in the states without you two being there. We have our witnesses already. I just sent the pilot a message to get Ray and Grace and fly them here. They should be here tomorrow. That will give Ray enough time to talk to his children and then we can get this show on the road the next day." Jason says as he's looking down at his phone to complete all of this.
"Jason, that would mean the world to both of us if you married us. Thank you so much for offering." Ana says as she walks into the kitchen wrapping her arms around my waist. "I promise I wasn't eavesdropping the whole time. I only heard the last thing Jason said." She says laying her head on my chest. I reach around to bring her to the front of my chest and lean down to kiss her.
'I completely agree with Anastasia. We would be honored to have you marry us." I say looking at my beauty.
"Well good because I just got my certificate." Jason says snickering as we look at him in shock.
"This is so sweet! Christian is going to be my brother and I get to tell people. Imagine how many more women are going to be throwing themselves at me. Maybe Kate will finally leave me alone." Luke says as he shivers just thinking about Kate. I laugh out loud because he has openly talked about how disgusted he is by her trying to use her friendship with Ana to get with him. He'll never say anything to Ana, because he doesn't want her to feel as if she has to lose her friend.
"You go ahead and tell everyone, once the news is out. Not before." I say, still laughing.
"Let's avoid the media for as long as we can." Ana and I say in unison. Everyone laughs and nods.
"Ew! They are one of those couples who always speak the same thing at the same time. Gross." Luke says, and it sets everyone off again.
"Ana, do you want to go shopping tomorrow for outfits for the wedding? We can all go together." Gail says and I think that's a good idea, but whatever my Beauty wants is good with me.
"Sure Gail! That sounds like so much fun." Ana says letting out a yawn.
I am about to suggest we meet here again in the morning when my phone starts ringing in my pocket. I take it out and see it's my mom calling. As I am about to pick up Ana's phone starts ringing and I see it's Ray. Man, Jason works fast.
We each pick up at the same time and our parents are echoing because they are standing right next to each other.
"Christian who is this man next to me and why am I getting on your jet with him? Where are you flying us to?" Grace says at the same time Ray is asking Ana the same questions.
"Mom, I am going to hang up my phone and we can talk through Ana's." I tell her as I hang up. I move my body closer to my Beauty, and rest my head on top of hers. Luke is also in frame to talk to his dad.
"Mom, that is Raymond Steele. He is Ana and Luke's father. We are flying you both here to Greenland to be with us. We have some exciting news that we need you both here for. We can't do this without you both here." I tell grace while I rub my hands up and down Ana's side.
Grace looks at me questioningly for a second before she asks me what about the rest of the family. "Mom, just you please." I say to her, begging her to understand.
"Ok darling. I will see you when we get to Greenland." She says after she takes a deep breath.
"Annie, sweetheart, you're ok? It's important?" Ray asks Ana after they had a brief stare off.
"Yes, dad. I'm perfect. I couldn't be happier if I tried. It's very important. I have 2 of the most important men in my life here already, I just need you here to complete it. Please." My Beauty says giving him puppy eyes. The expression on her face makes all of us laugh because she throws in a lip quiver.
"Alright Annie. See you soon darling. Luke, you're it." Ray says and hangs up the phone immediately. My Beauty quickly puts her finger on her nose and screams 'not it'.
"Son of a bitch," Luke screams as he starts chasing Ana around the kitchen island.
"Take it back or I will show Christian your 6th grade talent show performance," Luke threatens my Beauty. She stills in shock as she looks from me to Luke. A slow smirk appears on her face and she crosses her arms.
"Ben Thompson" is all Ana says. Luke lets out a large gasp, then huffs. God, they act just alike. During this whole exchange, Jason, Gail, and myself have all been laughing out loud at the siblings. Makes me wish, not for the first time, that my siblings and I behaved like this. I shake it off and tune back into my early morning soap opera that's happening in my kitchen.
"I hope you get cankles for 2 weeks and none of your precious heels fit anymore," Luke huffs as he walks out of the kitchen. Ana lets out a horrifying gasp and tells him to take it back. He's already out of the door.
"Well, now that the show is over for the night, let's get some sleep and we can meet back here tomorrow afternoon around 1pm to head to town to shop for formal clothes and Miss. Steele's dress and look for a photographer." Jason says, standing and heading towards the front door.
"Please call me Ana, Jason. We don't have to worry about the photographer. Luke can do it. Photography was his major in college." Ana says walking them out.
"Perfect. One less NDA I have to send out. I already had you and Ana's information sent to the courts in Seattle. The paperwork will be here when we wake. Once I marry y'all, I will send the paperwork back with all of our signatures and you will officially be married." Jason says.
"Everything sounds good to me Jason. I also need paperwork for Ana and I to sign to add her on all of my bank accounts and to the deeds to my houses." I let Jason know and he gives me a firm nod. I have to hold back a chuckle, they are so rubbing off on him.
"Jason, can you let Luke know I need the same? Paperwork to add Christian to everything." Ana says.
I close the door behind Jason and Gail and scoop my Beauty up in my arms. She starts giggling as I carry her back to our bedroom where I plan on making love to her until we fall asleep.
Two more days and I will get to call her my wife. I am a lucky son of a bitch.
