50 Shades of Family

You okay?

Sophie's POV

1 Week Later

Phoebe and I decided to go on a shopping spree with her dad's and Teddy's credit card. We didn't need them but they offered, so of course we wouldn't deny their offer.

We drug Sawyer out of his lovely job with Mr. Grey to be our chauffeur for the day. Nice guy. He didn't object.

We decide to stop at Sephora first and pick up much needed cosmetics. I already had enough and had to pack to bags for all my lipsticks, eye shadows, and what not, but makeup is a healthy obsession for a girl.

"Okay, so Killer or Lady Danger?" I ask showing Phoebe the deathly dark red and blush red colors I tested on my wrist. She purses her lips and examines the colors like an art critic would study the brush strokes of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night. Suddenly her hand grabs my wrist and holds it up to my face to see it against my skin. She finally makes a decision.

"Lady danger, by far. My turn..." She puts the cap on a stick before shoving her wrist my way. "Ice Princess or Girl About Town?" I study her wrist too, less serious that she did mine, and shrug.

"Why not layer them? A shine on top of matte. It would look cute." She nods and keeps both as we continue to search the isles. "Sophie," I turn my head to her and away from the different mascaras, "I don't know if I told you this, but I'm really glad my brother has you." I blush at her complement (I assume that's what it it) and look back at the different Dior, Urban Decay, and Lancôme assortments.

"I mean, we've always had you, but now that he has you, can almost physically see him go from a boy who slept with a different girl every night to a man who only has eyes for you." I almost choke when Phoebe mentions his many sexual partners, but I brush it off until she opens her mouth again. "I hope he got tested for STD's." What is air? My eyes pop out of my head and I start coughing uncontrollably, unable to catch my breath. People start stares while I try to calm down as Phoebe pats my back. She needs a filter.

"Sophie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you-"

"No that's not it, I mean, I already made him get tested so I'm one step ahead of you, but just the fact that you would blurt something like that about your brother's private life out in public...It kind of caught me off guard." Her eyes are wide, and I don't know why. Was it something I said?

"Wait, you made Ted get tested?" I smile and shake my head causing her to explode into fits of laughter. "When? How?"

"Well, not that it is any of your business, but after that party one night before things got too serious, I told him he can't sleep with me until he got tested. He stormed out of my room steaming. Two weeks later, he came barging into the house, waving papers in my face and then said some stuff I'm not going to repeat to you." I finish up. I hate explaining certain situations to people.

"Let me guess." She says in a sarcastic voice and clearing her throat. When she starts talking her voice is deep, obviously trying to imitate her brothers. "Baby, come to my room with me. I need you so much right now. Baby, let me f-"

"Okay!" I say loud enough to drown out her voice to people near by and she starts laughing. I have to change the subject."Enough about me and your brother, what's up with you and Alexander?" Phoebe stops laughing and blushes, looking through the nail polishes.

"Nothing much really." She answers and I laugh before a silence falls between us. She has ever said nothing is really happening between her and him. If you saw them out in public you would think they were a young married couple.

Next thing I know Phoebe is next to me with a serious look on her face, and a little take back. Once again. "Soph, can I talk to you about something? Kind of like a sister-to-sister type thing?"
