Fifty Shades of Phoebe Grey

Chapter three

The next two weeks drag by and I'm glad it is officially over. I talked to dad this morning before he left for work and I have to wait until he gets home tonight to get my phone back. The drama at school has settled down for the most part. Every now and again someone will say something, but I can deal with that. Im pulled out of my train of thought by Gail knocking on my door.

"Come in." I yell

"Just bringing your clean clothes up." She says going to put them away.

"I can do that Gail." I say getting up and taking my clothes from her and putting them away myself.

I decide to help Gail with dinner because I seriously need to learn to cook. Half way through making a mess in the kitchen dad comes in and holds out my phone to me. I go to grab it and realize my hands are covered in flour. I groan and head to the sink to wash my hands so I can get my phone. Over dinner dad discusses the Coping Together benefit that is next weekend and a big deal in my family. He makes it clear that this year I have no choice and have to go because I haven't gone in three years. I never liked going to this damn ball its so boring. 

"I don't have a dress." I try to use as an excuse to get out of it.

"Go get one tomorrow." He says

"With what money I don't have any."

"This money." He smirks holding out a credit card.

"Is this mine." I say looking at the card in disbelief

" your names phoebe grey isn't it."

"Christian! She doesn't not need her own credit card. We talked about this." My mom scolds

"Than you, Daddy!" I shout and hug him.

......

"Hey, Madison wanna go shopping tomorrow. My dad just gave me my own credit card."  I brag to my best friend over the phone

"Um.... Hell yes!" She shouts

We spend the next hour planning our shopping trip. Im forced to end the conversation when dad knocks on the open door to my bedroom.

"Don't make me regret giving that to you." He says

"Wait do I have a spending limit?"

" no, but I don't want you buying anything I wont approve of." He says stone faced

"Your referring to my dress for the benefit." I state

" yes, your a young woman now and I don't want to have to spend the night fighting off boys."

"Dad, Don't embarrass me at the benefit, please."

" don't give me a heart attack." He fires back smiling and I laugh and hug him goodnight before going to bed.

.....

"Morning bish!" I saying jumping into the front seat of Madison's Mustang.

" hey babe."

"First things first.....Starbucks!" I yell and we are off.

We have gone to three different stores and I still haven't found the dress I want to wear. Madison says to stop being so picky, but I cant help it. As we are walking through the fourth store a gorgeous gown catches my eye. It is a royal blue satin gown, with a slit up the side. I quickly grab it from the rack and head to the dressing room. I put it on and immediately fall even more in love with it. I walk out to the little sitting area and do a quick spin for Madison.

"Yup, that's the dress. Your getting it." She squeals.

" I want it, but the problem is my dad is not going to aprove of it." I groan.

" just hide it until its time to wear it. That way it will be to late for him to make you get a different one."

"I guess, but if I get in trouble its your fault." I warn

" fair. Trust me it will be worth it with how hot your gonna look once the look is complete."

"Are you saying I'm not hot all the time." I feign hurt

"Girl, your always hot." She laughs.

I head back into the dressing room and change I back into my yoga pants and crop top. Once I pay for the dress our next stop is shoes. By the end of or shopping trip I am exhausted and excited to put this look together. Shoes and jewelry were no problem to figure out. I even picked up quite a bit of make up to try a "Instagram" makeup look for the ball.

When I get home I am greeted by the smell of pizza. I run upstairs, hide my dress at the back of my closet along with the rest of the stuff I bought and put on a sweater over my crop top before heading to the kitchen.

"Look whose finally home." Teddy says as I take a seat next to him.

"Since when do we eat pizza on Sundays?" I ask

"Since I picked it up on my way over here." Teddy smirks.

"How was your shopping trip honey?" Mom asks

"Great. A lot of fun."

"Can we see your dress?" Dad asks

"Nope, not until the benefit." I smile

"Phoebe-"

"Relax dad, I'm sure you'll be fine with it." I reassure even though I now he wont be.

After dinner I help Gail with dishes before stowing away in my room for the night. I grab my head phones and sit down at my Alienware gaming laptop to play Sims 4. Before starting the game I decide I need some new custom content and spend the next few hours finding the latest fashion for my sims. By the time I finish that is is almost eleven o'clock. I turn off my laptop and jump in the shower. Once in my bed I get on youtube to watch some makeup tutorials to prepare for the benefit. I don't normally wear makeup so this will require some extensive research and practice this week. At around two in the morning I plug up my phone a decide to get some sleep for school in the morning.
