Protecting Me

I'm woken up by giggling and I realize I fell asleep on the couch. I sit up and find Kate hanging up her phone with the biggest smile.

"Good morning, sleepyhead. I bought McDonald's for breakfast." She flops down next to me and hands me a sausage and cheese McMuffin, hash brown and orange juice.

"Did you have fun last night?" I smirk when she blushes.

"It was the best night of my life and we didn't have sex, so get that smirk off your face." I chuckle and take a sip of my orange juice.

"I can tell you overdosed on Golden Girls and Pizza last night." I nod realizing the video menu for the Golden Girls is still on the TV.

"You know Rose and Sophia are the best.." She nods before clicking the play button and we sit back on the couch and watch more episodes.

After breakfast, we spent the rest of the day reorganizing our townhouse. When Kate agreed to move to Seattle with me after we graduated from WSU, I contacted a realtor and told them what I wanted.

She was able to find a three bedroom Victorian townhouse with beautiful bay windows and a small backyard. It was honestly perfect. Since Kate and I were going on a road trip for the summer we decided to hire professional movers. My mom offered to unpack the main rooms for us. When we got home 4 days ago it was amazing walking into a put together home. Today, we are unpacking our rooms while playing loud pop music.

"We need to go shopping for office furniture and I also want to apply for some jobs," Kate says as we look around our third bedroom/office. Kate is thinking about applying to a Nursing school because she really enjoyed volunteering at the hospital in Vancouver and has been thinking about it since we got to Seattle.

"Nickie... We really need you to help us with the furniture." I whine into the phone. My brother usually ignores my whining but today he actually agrees to come help us and is even bringing his friend that a new partner at his firm.

Nick is a partner at Grey, Rhodes, and Steele Law Firm. He has always loved to argue and thought becoming a lawyer was the perfect job for him. He is 4 years older than me but sometimes it's almost impossible to tell who is younger because of how he acts.

"Soooo, your boyfriends on his way to help," I say to Kate and start laughing as she running to towards the bathroom screaming for me to stall him.

I head towards the living room to clean up a little before my brother and his friend arrives. After about 15 minutes I finally got the living room and kitchen presentable.

"Come in" I yell while grabbing a bottle of water.

"The help has arrived.." Nick chuckles as I walk into the living room and stop in my track.

"Holy shit.." I mutter to myself or so I thought because when I look up I see the grey-eyed god smirking.

"Christian Grey, this is my sister Ana Steele. Ana Steele, this is my new law partner Christian Grey." The grey-eyed god better known as Christian walks up shakes my hand. I gasp and pull my hand away quickly when the tingling become too intense. I can tell by his facial expression he felt it too.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Kate soon makes her presence known and I slowly become invisible to my brother. I don't mind it because I love both of them and think they would make the amazing couple.

"So what do you do, Ana?" Christian speaks and it brings my eyes away from my brother.

"Oh, I umm.." I clear my throat. " I am starting Medical School next week. I'm not sure what specialty but as long as I can bake on my free time I will be happy. What is your specialty?"
