Fifty Shades of Steele **Book 1** (Completed)

Chapter 2

Christiansen Grey

That damn Keegan if I can hit he's self-absorbed head inside out, I would do it right this second. He send me into that intense interview without even giving me any form of a profile on her. I felt like a fool and she must think I'm a total idiot, by falling into her office like that. Yes, people, it is not just woman that can fall over their own feet, some of us guys, are also born with two left feet. To me, it only happens when I'm dancing and when I'm very nerves about something.

The long drive back to Portland is not a very good thing because it gave me way to must time to think and mull over everything that happened in that super intense interview. She kept looking straight into my eyes and the questions she asked me. How can she even consider me working for her when everyone in her office looks like they belong and have a certain air about themselves? What was with the internship offer? Shit!

That is a definitely a big no-no. The rain pounding down as I finally hit the I-5 open road, I floor Keegan's car. If I can make it back before 1 PM I can still fit in a shift at Newton's Sports store. Driving is terrible giving yourself over to your own thoughts again. I just can't get her out of my head. Ever since Keegan tried to draft me for this interview I felt uncomfortable about it and my instincts were spot on. Now that I lived through that experience I can vouch for that. That for a guy, I have quite a gut instinct for these sorts of things. I was about an hour out of Portland and I made good time. I can still take a shift at work. I packed my uniform just in case I do get back in time. I stopped at a gas station to get some more gas and quickly change into my uniform in the restroom. I paid for the gas and drove the last bit of distance to work. Now that I'm at work busy restocking the shelves and getting more stock from storage. Settling in on the mindless task at hand, mentally ridding myself from this damn awful day. Yet I think those blue eyes of hers will haunt me, I just know that. Thinking about it now, she was kind of hot.

It was near the end of my shift when Keegan phoned me to hear how things had gone. I told him I'll be home in a little bit to tell him what he wants to know. Now I'm not looking forward to going home, but I got in his car and I finally head home with a heavy heart knowing what will happen once I do get there. Arriving I fell under the Kavanagh interrogation, as I knew I would. He asked me what I think of her if I thought she was hot, yadda-yadda-yadda. The questions never stopped till I put my foot down. I only gave vague answers. She was okay, arrogant in some ways but okay.

'Yes, she is beyond beautiful, but please no more stunts like this ever again.' I got myself a sandwich and a soda and head into my room where I started to dive into my studies. It was near midnight when I finally emerge from my room, washed my dishes and made my way to the bathroom to take a well-deserved shower.

Keegan's parents finally bought him a nice apartment in Seattle and we will be moving there after our graduation ceremony. I took a welcoming shower then got dressed for bed and finally lay under the covers and thought about Miss Anabelle Steele. Yes, she is driven, forceful, beautiful beyond compare, and those blue eyes that can penetrate to your soul. I fell asleep dreaming of her. Woke up the next morning and was greeted by myself. Great, this is just what I need right now. Now I have to take a cold shower to control my hormones. The shower only helped a little, until I thought about Miss Steele again. How can even just the near thought of her have this effect on me? I finally got a grip on my emotions and yes hormones.

I got dressed for work and today being Saturday the store is always busy over the weekends with the hikers coming through town. Driving to work in my little red rabbit Ronda. I parked at the back of the store and clocked in for my shift and started my long working day. I was working half day packing shelves and the other half working the cash register. Driving home in the rain, I got home and after a nice shower, I got back to my studies. I'm writing the last of my finals Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is graduation. Moving next weekend to Seattle. I have sent my CV out to four promising publishing houses in Seattle. So I am still waiting to hear back. I focus on my studies till my eyes burned then turn in for the night.
