Random question: can you guys see my drafts? It says they have like 5 views and its weird.))

Sophie's POV

"When are we going to tell them?" I ask as I finish chopping the boiled eggs and tossing them in to the bowl. Teddy sits behind me at the bar watching my every move.

"I guess when we're sure our parent's won't kick us to the curb and actually be okay with everything." He shrugs. I nod my head and think of any other possible scenarios that would cause us to be disowned or have one of us shipped off, most likely me, to a third world country without contact with each other.

"We live in the same house." I say and hear Teddy groan and the chair screech against the wood flooring. I feel his arms wrap around my waist before I feel his breath on my cheek.

"We've covered this already." He says, and I can hear the smile in his voice. I know we have already talked about the negatives of, technically, living in the same house, but it keeps popping up in my head. A thought strikes me, and I stop all my actions, turn around in his arms, and face him.

"Do you even want to tell them?" I can't keep the whine out of my voice, and his mood seems to dampen as well. I hate to think he would actually be ashamed of me. His parents already love me.

"You know I want to tell them. I want to be able to hold your hand at the table, hug you when I leave, and kiss you good night." He grabs my face in his hands, and I sigh at the warmth that seeps from his skin into me. It makes my heart flutter. "My sister and brother already know, and they were actually happy. I promise to tell them the first appropriate chance I get." I look down, suddenly finding our feet interesting, but he doesn't stand for it and forces me to look at him again.

"I love you." He whispers and connects the space between us. My hand grabs his biceps to provide me with more leverage, and the kiss deepens. Reluctantly, when I hear the timer on the oven go off, I pull away from Teddy and pat his chest.

"Why don't you finish our lunch and I'll get the others?" It isn't really a question. He is going to do it anyway.

"Of course. Just for you, my lovely girlfriend." He kisses my cheek once before resuming the work I stopped. I squeeze his arm in appreciation and head to the movie room first.

"Hey, Phoe-"

"Babe, if you're breaks up you need to go...yes, my dad would still fire you!" I walk in front of her to catch her attention since she is otherwise preoccupied. I make awkward hand movements to get the message across that lunch is almost ready, and all she does is nod her head and continues her conversation with Alexander.

I walk back out to the living room and pick up the trail of baby toys and toy planes as I go. I walk to the couch and smile at the sight in front of me. Kenneth, who has yet to start home school like the other two, is sitting with Juliet nestled in his arms with a bottle of empty milk sitting beside them. Ever since he got here, every chance he gets, he has that baby in his arms. He loves being a big brother.

"Hey, Kenneth." I say and two pairs of eyes gaze up at me. One having a harder time keeping her head up than the other. "You're lunch is done. Did Juliet drink every last drop?" I motion towards the bottle. Kenneth nods.

"I made sure she did." He is adorable! I want a son like him someday.

"Then I'll take her so you can eat." I scoop up the bundle of giggles in my arms and take the empty bottle in my hand. Kenneth pushes the pink flower printed pillow off his lap and stands up. He dusts his hands off on his pants like he just got done with a dirty job before speaking to me again.

"Can she sit by me?" he asks. I smile and nod as I follow him to the table which is crowded by the other boys and girls and food. I drag Juliet's high chair next to Kenneth's chair and slip her in it, making sure she is buckled and supported on all sides. I pour some cheerios on the tray just so she has something to put in her mouth when she feels the need.

"Make sure you eat every bit of that." I say to Kenneth as he mixes his mac-and-cheese together and squirts ketchup on his french fries. He smiles with his lips closed before he sticks a spoonful in his mouth. He is one weird kid. I laugh and take a bite of my tuna salad sandwich.

"Hey, sis." Teddy clears his throat and looks at Phoebe, who raises a perfectly plucked brow at him. "Do you think you can hang out with Alex tonight?" She looks confused for a split second before rolling her eyes.

"If I have to, I guess." She says as if she actually wouldn't want to spend time with her boyfriend. I almost snort at the exchange.

"And take Kenneth with you?" Now I'm confused. I look at Teddy but he doesn't acknowledge my stare. Phoebe straightens in her seat and looks at Kenneth who is looking between all three of us.

"Yeah. What's going on tonight?" Phoebe looks at Teddy and I while wiggling her eyebrows. I hear Kenneth sigh and when I look down, the little boy has his arms crossed and is looking at his sister in a disapproving way.

"I know what that means." I can't hold back my laughter now. Okay, this kid is weird, but awesome. Phoebe flushes a bright shade of pink at being caught making a sex suggestion by a five year old. I would too. Teddy chuckles and giving the little man a fist bump, earning a glare from me.

"Nothing like that will be happening." Teddy reassures them, but the tone of his voice sounds a little disappointed. "We are going to have a dinner for Mom, Dad, Taylor, and Gail." Phoebe's eyes go wide, mine mimicking hers.

"Tonight?" I ask.

"Tonight." He answers in a firm voice. Suddenly two little arms are thrown in the air in a victorious manor.

"Finally!"

Teddy, little did I know, had a special dinner already ordered for this big night so when my dad, step-mom, and Mr. and Mrs. Grey come home there will be a big platter of tortilla lasagna waiting in the oven for them.

We have about two hours to spare. Two hours before our world is either supported or crushed into tiny fragments of hope.

Phoebe left earlier with Alexander and Kenneth to have a little "chaperoned date" as Kenneth called it, Phoebe said it was a "brother/sister date. Plus one", and Alexander just said its a "best friend type of date". Well, whatever it is I know they are going to see a movie, shop and to the park for ice cream.

"Babe, should you go get ready?" Teddy came up beside me as I stood by the window staring into the infinite view of grass, trees, and the beautiful sun set. I look over at him and smile. He already has some nice slacks on and a yellow button up shirt, halfway buttoned. Is he trying to tease me?

"I guess I could." I shrug. I don't think we need to get too dressed up or our parents will expect the worst. I lean up to peck his cheek before practically sprinting to my room. What on earth am I going to wear?

I look at my two closets that are fully stocked in nice clothes, but, I mean, there has to be a dress code for a telling-your-parents-you-and-their-employers-boss'-son-are-dating kind of dinner right? All my dresses are floor length, too revealing, or not in season. I continue to move dress after dress down the rack until my eyes spot my Michael Kors embellished silver mini dress. I guess this can work. I slip it off the hanger and lay it on my bed while I do simple hair and make up.

After my hair is straight and parted how I like it, and my lashes are covered in mascara, I slip on the short dress. When I look in the mirror, I'm shocked. It looks better than I remember. I scrounge around for some heels, about a one inch, that's appropriate for walking around the house.

Why am I so worried about this dinner? Why am I sweating?

Before I walk out of my room I wipe my hands on the sides of my dress, take a deep breath, and make my way back to the kitchen area.

The second my heel meets the wooden floor, the front door opens and voices echo in the entryway. Oh boy.

I rush to pull the meal out of the oven and I hear gasps and confused voices coming from the dinner table.

"Ted, what is this for?" Ana asks her son and the scraping of chair legs against the wooden floor echo around the room. "It all looks really good," she compliments. Once my hands are around the handles of the platter, I walk towards the table to see Christian taking his seat and my dad helping Gail into hers. I'm starting to regret telling them over a nice dinner. We should have just fled the country and told them over text. That would probably end up better than tonight will.

"Sophie and I just thought we would make you a nice dinner while Phoeb's takes Kenneth and Alexander out on a play date." I roll my eyes at him and place the main course in the middle of the table. I feel my father's eyes follow my every move as I move around the table and take the only seat available; next to Teddy.

"Well, dig in. I hope you like it." I say. My father's eyes are still trained on me, and I can't help but wither a little bit under his stare. He knows something is up. Just to be safe, I keep both hands on the table at all times.

"So how was work today, Mr. Grey?" My dad speaks up. Christian takes a bite off his plate before answering.

"Great. Made a few good investments. We got a lot of work done on the new plans." Christian then turns to Teddy and me. "How was everything here?" I only nod and Teddy wipes his mouth before speaking.

"It went great. The place stayed clean, the kiddos were fed, and one is even asleep." The Grey's nod and my parents just watch the interaction between the four of us as they continue to eat. My parents only have dinner with the Grey family is its a big holiday, other than that we usually eat separate. The tension in the room can be cut with a knife. Obviously, its getting on Teddy's nerves too.

"Okay, I'm sure you guys have already guessed that this dinner comes with a catch." Teddy says as he places his napkin on his dirty plate then one of his hands finds its way to my lap. I don't attempt to move it, I need the comfort. He takes a deep breath before speaking again.

"For a few months now...I..." He was struggling and I sighed. I don't know if I should help out or not.

"Taylor, this past summer I realized I liked your daughter. Ever since then I have tried to push those feelings aside because, I've known her my whole life. She's been one of my best friends since I was born. Even the age difference never crossed my mind. I found out, not too long ago, that your daughter shares the same feelings." I look at the table, avoiding all the eyes staring daggers at me at this moment.

"We put this dinner together in hopes of, buttering you up I guess, but I have a relationship with your daughter." I glance up at my father. He has a rock hard, no-expression, face on. But then again that's his everyday face. "We just wanted to bring that to your attention."

Christian's eyebrow is raised as he looks from Teddy to his wife, who's mouth is slightly agape. Gail has a sly smirk on her face, and I am a little confused as to why the fathers aren't angry or at least showing a bit more emotion. It's not either of them, a proud CEO and ex-military soldier, to be speachless. My father finally clears his throat and a smirk appears on his lips.

"To be perfectly honest, I expected this sooner. I'm okay with you together, not too keen to the living arrangements, but thank you for finally telling us." After my father finishes up, he looks to Christian who just shrugs.

"I agree. I think we might want to invest in some heavy duty automatic locks for their doors." And the joking starts. The woman laugh along with the men but I just turn red and wish to be invisible. Once the laughing dies down Christian faces the two of us with a serious, almost threatening, look on his face.

"I do have one condition." Dramatic pause. "Under no circumstances will there ever be, midnight sex noises disrupting anyone in the house. In fact, Theodore Raymond Grey, you will have to be in you room by 10:30 every night." Teddy's face drops and I laugh.

"That goes for you two young lady. Is that understood." My father adds.

Teddy and I look st each other before answering our father's. "Yes, sir."

1 Month Later

Teddy decided to take me out to a movie tonight, only our second real date since telling our parents about us. As far as our parents are concerned we went to see an action comedy about a cop and a flawless busty woman, we really saw an erotic romance film with the cliché shy girl/popular guy type of relationship with a twist. It was amazing!

"You know," Teddy speaks up as he helps me step out of his black matte f12 Ferrari. "I wish we lived in separate houses." I look at him confused. What was so bad about the living situations now? "Don't get me wrong, I love being one stair case away from you, but if at least if one of us was independent we wouldn't have curfew, stupid locks on our doors..." He grabs me by the waist and anchors me to him. "And I would actually be able to wake up as many mornings as possible with you next to me. A smile breaks out on my face as I peck his cheek. I close my eyes and bask in the feeling of just standing in the warm breeze with his arms holding me.

"You're about to graduate anyways." I open my eyes and look at his handsome face. "All you have to do is ask and your father will give you a great paying job at the company. The only job I have is here, and I'm like Gail's assistant, I don't get payed. If it bothers you that much you should talk to your parents about moving out. I would even help you look for a house, or apartment." I suggest. The look in his eyes is a mixture of everything, love, adoration, and even humor. He grabs my face with both hands and rests his forehead on mine.

"I love you." He whispers before connecting our lips.

"I love you too." I smile back at him. He sighs before dropping his hands, one taking hold of mine and leading me to the door. When we walk in, Ana is with Juliet and Kenneth on the couch, Phoebe is no where in sight, and the door to Christian's office is slightly ajar. I can see Gail in the kitchen scrubbing away on the dishes, and since my dad doesn't seem to be in the house, I'm sure he is out in the garage working on his car.

"Hey." Teddy whispers in my ear as I take in the house. "Why don't we go to my room?" He suggests and I smile a bit before looking at him.

"Your dad's office is just down the hall from you. Why not my room?" I tug on his coat and he chuckles.

"What about Phoebe? She's probably in her room." I roll my eyes and drag him up the stairs despite his protest.

"She is on one side of the house, I'm on the other. It's fine." I laugh and drag him to the right of the long hallway until we reach my room. "Do you think you're parents are going to come looking for us?" He shakes his head as he opens the door, pulls me inside, and pins me to the wall.

"I think we should be allowed one night of exception." I laugh again, pulling his face to mine. Our lips attract like magnets and fit together perfectly. He grabs a fist full of my blonde hair and tugs slightly causing my mouth to go slack and his tongue dominates mine. I can feel him slowly move us to the bed. I can't help but get lost in the feel of his lips on mine as the sparks fly around the room and the temperature rises at least eighty degrees.

"Sophie." He moans as his lips travel along the skin of my cheek and down to my necks. The back of my knees hit the edge of the bed and we both go down. His hips pin me to the mattress and he moves them in slow, teasing, circles.

"Teddy, please." I beg, leaving the sentence dangling in mid air. He lifts his head from my neck and looks me in the eye as if he doesn't under stand. I roll my eyes, move one hand between the two of us, and pop the button on his jeans.

"Please."

He smiles at me before hiking up my skirt and placing two fingers exactly where I want them. I bite my lip, which he pulls from between my teeth before he pins both of my arms above my head.

He leans down and whispers in my ear, "I want to try something different."

(( I will let your mind wonder to what that "something different" is lol. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And can someone please tell me if you can see the gif up top and if it is actually moving? Thanks.
