Fresh Start (jax teller)

Chapter 18

It was time for my shift to be over and Christian Grey was out of surgery. It's been about 4 hours post surgery. I decided to change up and go to the room. There was a body guard blocking the door way.

"I need to speak with Mr. Grey. I'm Dr. Flores."

"Sorry ma'am, Mr. Grey has requested no one enters unless it's medical personnel only."

"Well I'm his previous doctor before he banned me, can you ask if I can speak to him?" The bodyguard went inside for one second and came out. He opened the door for me.

"Mr. Grey-"

"Dr. Flores. Nice to see you again."

"Mr. Grey you just got out of surgery you can't be in your clothes until you get released-"

"Dr. Flores I thought I retreated you from my case."

"Well yes that's actually why I'm here but you shouldn't be in your own clothes. The hospital clothes is here for a reason."

"Fine." He said and took off his shirt. Wow.

"I, um.. well can you tell me why you took me off? I'm kind of offended if I'm being honest."

"I looked over your chart. You're a fine doctor, but Dr. Jenner is able to assist."

"You looked over my chart? How did-"

"It's nothing personal Dr. Flores."

"Thank you? Well I'm going to leave now."

"It was a pleasure Dr. Flores."

"Nice to meet you too Mr. Grey." I said and headed out the door. What just happened? My question was not really answered at all. What's in my chart that changed his mind?

I pulled in my driveway and stared at Jax and Tara go inside their home. It made me feel very lonely.

The next day at work, I was about to go to rounds when I spotted Christian Grey again. He was all dressed up in his bougie suit.

"Mr. Grey nice to see you again. Looks like you'll be leaving us today."

"Yes I have a lot of work I missed by being here."

"Well it was very lovely to meet you, truly."

"The pleasure's all mine...."

"Marilyn. But I think you knew that already."

After I got off work the next day, I noticed that my neighborhood looked different. Most houses on my street got sold. I didn't even know they were for sale. Only mine, Jax's, and another neighbor's didn't. I pulled inside my driveway with my car and got out. I noticed Jax and some of his crew outside staring at some presidential black SUVs that were surrounding our neighborhood by where all the houses got sold.
"Marilyn, you should head inside. We don't know what's going on or who these people are." I nodded and started to open my door. To my surprise, a familiar face came out from one of the cars. I started to walk over there.

"Mr. Grey what a surprise, you're in my neighborhood. Why?"

"Dr. Flores nice to see you. I'm here on a business meeting."

"A meeting where you bought all my neighbors?"

"I don't disclose confidential information."

"Well why didn't you offer to buy mine?" He looked rather surprised by my question. I saw Jax and some of his crew walk over here.

"Jax this is Christian Grey. He just bought all these."

"Pleasure Jackson." Jax didn't say anything back. Him and his crew looked pissed. One of them made a phone call.

"Well Mr. Grey I'll let you do your thing." I said and walked off. As I started opening my door, I hear one of Jax's crew on the phone.

"Clay you've got to get here now brother." I go inside my house and shower.

Today was my day off and I decided to sleep in. I slept in until about 7am since my body didn't let me sleep any longer. I got up and had a morning jog around my empty neighborhood. It was very peaceful and serene. I jogged back and see Gemma waiting at my driveway.

"Gemma what a nice surprise."

"We need to talk."

"Nice to see you too."

"Now." She demands. We go inside my house.

"What can I do for you Gemma."

"Do you see what's going around?"

"The neighborhood?"

"Yes. Are you responsible?"

"What? Why would I be responsible?"

"The guys saw you talking to Grey."

"Yeah he was my patient. And then he magically showed up. That wasn't my fault."

"Well he's trying to turn Charming commercial."

"So?"

"So that's a big no. Clay will lose his shit if this turns commercial. Commercial means more housing, more people, more government. Get what I'm saying?"

"Yes I get it. Why are you telling me this?"

"So you can stop him."

"And I suppose you have a strategic plan?"

"You know what to do." And she started to leave.

"And if I don't?"

"If you don't not only will we have problems, Jax will have problems." I can't believe she expects me to stop him.

Hours after all his crew left, I went to Jax's house.

"Jax I needa talk to you." He let me inside.

"Jax Gemma said I have to stop Mr. Grey or that I'm gonna get myself into some serious shit."

"Mar don't listen to what my crazy mother says. Nothing's gonna happen."

"Well I was just a little concerned that's all."

"Do you personally know him?"

"No he was one of my patients at the hospital. Well technically not my patient. It's actually a funny story he kicked me out as his doctor so I technically wasn't his doctor anymore so he's not my patient. And then he showed up here the next day. So to answer your question, no, I don't personally know him."

"Do you know what's he going to make here?"

"No he wouldn't tell me. I know that he's a multi billionaire so I wouldn't be surprised if he converted this little neighborhood into one of his companies or something of that sort."

"Thanks." He said. "I know I've been avoiding you, we've been going through some shit at the club."

"If you ever need any help I'm here. I know I probably won't be able to but just in case."

"Thanks Mar."

"I should get going." He opened the for me. As I stepped out, Tara pulled in the driveway.
