A Shadow Of Doubt

A Grey Family Dinner

Christian
Mom wanted me to invite Raymond, Graham, Anastasia, and Enid to dinner on Sunday she emailed me to ask them. I really enjoyed our wake up sex before dawn on the patio. I already have Anastasia living here with me. Roz Bailey my new CEO asked me why I haven't popped the question yet? I told her because we haven't been together long enough to get married.
Roz
I tell you what if swung my way I would try my darnedest to get her name on a marriage certificate. She is the whole package. Put in a good word for me if you two break up.
Christian
Are you done screwing with me about your desires for my girlfriend?
Roz
For today I am. Let's get to work on this deal on that shipping company. They are playing hard ball, we might have to walk away from that one and go with the one that needs repairs and negotiate the price. It is in an area that will bring in a lot of business.
Christian
Go with them rework the numbers on what repairs are needed for it. I have other things for you to look at while you aren't drooling over Anastasia.
Roz
Oh I always have time to drool over a beautiful woman. You just happen to have a very beautiful girlfriend inside and out. I can't help it you are so easy to jerk your chain when it comes to Anastasia.
Grace
We have Sunday dinner all set. Mom and dad are joining us on Sunday and I want all the children here. Carrick shakes his head and asks me was I seriously exposing the new girlfriend and their family to my parents.
Carrick
I recall the first time I met Theodore and Madison Trevelyan. I remembered the comments about dynamite comes in small packages. She makes dynamite look like a cherry bomb. This will at least be interesting to see if Anastasia can hold her own against Madison Trevelyan, while her father just sits back and analyzes her reactions, like he did when I finally met them. Asking for their blessing to marry Grace was nerve wracking. Grace is their only child. I had to get both their blessings before I married Grace. What I didn't know was that they had given their blessing to Grace and just wanted to make me sweat over asking for her hand. She was laughing hysterically about it all later and finally told me it was her parents 2ay of testing to see if I was a good choice and could be a good attorney. If I could get through their inquisition then I would be a good girl. They spent an hour asking me very in depth questions about my future and if I thought I would be a good attorney. After all I was about to marry a future doctor.
Grace
I think back to the moment Carrick was given my parents blessings to marry me. He was so relieved and after an hour he finally proposed to me in front of them. Originally it was going to be a romantic dinner, but he wanted to get my yes out of the way before anyone could rethink their position on the matter. We got the license the next day the wedding was planned before I knew it. Carrick pushed to get it done because two big cases were coming up and our honeymoon would be only two weeks and in Paris. We ended up be able to stay in Paris for ten days.
Sunday Dinner disaster?
Christian
Anastasia is nervous about meeting my grandparents. She has heard a few things, from Enid. I tell her to calm down and be herself. I don't think I can say much to calm her down at this point. I tried sex and that didn't work at all. Security is still tight until we find out if Morton is actually dead or not. Chelsea is doing better and she is dating someone else now and is doing good after her injuries. I paid for her bills and got her help to get her family and home back in good shape. After all she put herself at risk trying to get to the police about a kidnapping threat. I put money into her account to assure she has enough to survive on. Taylor handled all of it directly for me and he told me what she would need. He recommended a therapist to talk to.
Raymond
Anastasia is frantic about this family dinner and meeting the Trevelyans and Enid teased her about what they were like. I can't believe they won't like her, I think I am going to give them the third degree as well, because I know things about them that most don't know.
Graham
I can't wait to meet the Grey's and Christian especially. I want to see if he is good enough for Anastasia. I will see for myself just because you are wealthy doesn't mean you are a good person and my sister deserves a good man. She has been through so much and deserves to be treated like the kind and good person she is.
Enid
Anastasia was very frantic when we met for lunch on Thursday, I tried to calm her down, but she can't seem to calm down. I tell her that she is a good person and they will see that.
Mia
Mom said Anastasia is coming along with her dad, brother and Enid. I am not sure how the grandparents will act about seeing Christian with a girlfriend after he ended things with Chelsea. I had no idea Anastasia had a brother this is a surprise. I am helping to get the food ready and setting the tables. I have decided to branch out my careers and I can dodge mom and dads questions only so long.
Elliott
I am bringing a new girlfriend and it might upset a few people but she doesn't need their approval at all.
