Fifty Shades of High School

Chapter Four

Ana:

Christian is at my front door at 8 o'clock , he is wearing a navy button up shirt. I take a deep breath and look at my reflection in the mirror once more before opening the door "Hi," my tone is breathless and high. Christian smiles his sexy panty dropping smile at me "Hey , you ready?" I nod and call over my shoulder for my mom "I'll be back later . bye!" And before she can respond I am out the door with Christian.

Christians car is a sight to behold , it is a black Audi R8 spyder. Holy fuck , he drives an hundred thousand dollar car. I don't even have a car. Christian opens the door for me and climb in , I'm surprised on how low the car is. It is ultra fancy inside , more fancy buttons then I've ever see, Christian gets into the car and starts the engine. My palms are sweaty , I'm on my first date with no one other than Christian Grey. I must be dreaming. "How was your day today?" Christian as he smoothly pulls out of the driveway , I shrug "Fine , how was yours?" He looks at me from the corner of his eye. "Good , practice kicked my ass. I think coach is trying to kill us." I let out a chuckle "That's why I never played sports, books don't make you think you wanna die!" Christian laughs and it makes my stomach flutter, his dimples show when he laughs. "What do your parents do for a living?" I wonder out loud , he has an Audi spyder for fuck sakes! "My mom is a pediatrician and my dad a lawyer. What do your parents do?" That explains the fancy car and fancy stuff he has. "My mom is a receptionist and my latest stepdad works in an bodyshop." Christian raises an eyebrow at me "Latest stepdad?" I chuckle "My mom is on husband number 3." "Oh." "Yeah oh," I laugh and Christian smiles at me.

We arrive at an beautiful stone restaurant , "I hope you like Italian food. " Christian mutters then is out of the car and walking over to my door. Holy hell , he moves so fast.

The restaurant is dark and intimate inside , decorated in rich wood and reds. We are seated in the far back. My palms are sweatier then ever before , I'm so nervous.

Thankfully Christian is an conversation starter , he must sense my nervousness. I fidget with the napkin in my lap and listen to what he is saying. "We're all adopted, so I think that gave us a closer bond. " He's adopted? "I didn't know you were adopted." Christian nods and shifts uncomfortably, he reaches for his drink and takes a long drink. Huh , he doesn't like to talk about it- I try to change the subject. "Are your siblings older or younger?" Christian relaxes visibly. "Elliot is older and Mia younger , they go to Seattle Prep." My eyes widen , Seattles most prestigious school and Christian doesn't go? How strange. "I got kicked out for fighting ," Christian explains looking uncomfortable .... again.

Oh right , his temper issues.
"So , tell me about yourself." Christian asks once our food arrives, I blanch "Well , what do you want know?" Christian smiles at me "I don't know , just tell me something. " I bite my lower lip and think. "When I was seven I broke my hand trying to climb my dad's bookshelf. " Christian chuckles.
"You were a bookworm then too?" I giggle "Yup , my mother was so mad. " "Is your father still around?" Christian asks taking a bite of his chicken. "My real dad died when I was a baby , but my mom remarried when I was one and that man - Ray raised me until my mom divorced him. " Christian raises his eyebrows "I'm sorry about your dad. " I shrug "I didn't know him ," Christian nods "Do you still see Ray?" I sigh "Only on the holidays, my mom is weird with him. " I take a bite of my pasta as Christian watches me , it's unsettling- the way he watches me.

The longer we are together, the more comfortable I get. Conversation flows between us effortlessly, we have music , books and tv shows in common. I'm so surprised, he seems so different than me.

"Do you need to be home at a certain time?" Christian asks as he pays the check, "I have to be home by 11," He smiles at my respond "Perfect , I wanna take you somewhere. " My heart begins to pound again.
