Chapter 1

Ana's POV

I leave Dr. Flynn's office around eight. We had a late session because he had an emergency session with another patient and had to push me back. That was fine with me since I needed more time to sort through a new emotion that was raised this morning. The bastard contacted me again wanting to talk to me. Dr. Flynn suggested that I confront him and hear him out. He said it was time for me to forgive my past demons so that I could move on. The problem with that is that I have to unleash my flood gate of emotions which is the scariest part for me.

I climb into my baby, my black on black Cadillac CTS V Coupe, and drive towards downtown to the club to start opening up for the Friday night crowd. Tonight is open mic night at the club and I love to hear the up and coming talent. He'll with the way I'm feeling I might grace the mic as well. It's the only way I can handle my emotions without shutting down.

I pull up to the door and my valet team parks my baby in the back entrance of the club. I walk into the club that is fully lit so that we can move around and set up for the night. The bartenders are taking inventory while the wait staff sets up the tables. I always have blue hydrangeas on each table. The club is set up with white booths with royal blue trimming along the walls and white and blue bar stools along the curved bar. This place is my pride and joy. When I graduated from school I was able to have access to my mother's insurance payout and I did three things, brought my car, brought my condo downtown, and brought my jazz club. Mom always had us listening to jazz on Saturday mornings while we cleaned.

"Boss lady, are you ok?" Kelly walks up with her tablet on her hip.

"Yeah kels, I'm fine. How are we looking tonight?"

"Looking good, we received all our deliveries from our vendors. Inventory was taken, all of the singers and musicians for open mic have been placed in order and kitchen is making the special for tonight."

"Have I ever told you how awesome you are?" I say as I sit down at my desk.

"Hmmm...not today" she says with a smile. "Oh your dress for the night is in the closet. Joe dropped it off for you."

"Thanks Darlin'"

Kelly leaves the room so that I can change into my dress. Joe must have known I was going to sing tonight because he picked my baby blue 1950s wide blue petticoat dress with a white petticoat. He picked my peep toe baby blue heels. They all match my blue dragonfly necklace and ring. I'm putting the finishing touches on my chignon when I hear a knock at the door. I open to find Kate with a smile that can outshine a Macy's Christmas tree.

"What good news do you have?" I say with a smile

"I've met someone and I want you to meet him."

I must have dropped my jaw to the floor. Kate is very selective on who she brings around the crew and especially me, I'm worse than a gun toting father when it comes to my besties and their love lives.

Kate pushes up on my chin and smiles, "Name?" I say with a smile.

She goes into giving me his whole life story. She says that he is a contractor with his own firm. They met through a mutual friend at a bar. They have been seeing each other for three weeks, nothing very serious just casually dating, but she is ready for him to meet the crew. He is coming tonight with his younger brother, who Kate so eloquently put, is smokin' hot.

"So, what is his name Kate? I know this guys blood type but no name?"

"Elliot...Grey."

"Hmmm...oh oh you mean the Elliot Grey." My eyes open wide, the Grey family is like Seattle Royalty. This girl sure can pick them, not like I'm a socialite like Kate but even I can appreciate a beautiful man and Elliot Grey is one of them. I can't remember who the siblings are but I'm sure baby brother is just as cute as older brother. At least it's a good family, just hope he is not a slob. I don't want to bruise anyone's egos tonight; I don't have the energy if the bastard shows up.

"Oh I almost forgot, the bastard called and wants to talk. I invited him to the club tonight."

"The hell you did...why?!"

"Doctor's orders." I grimace at the idea of talking to this man. This is one man that if he was on fire I would throw gasoline on him to watch him burn more. That is one emotion that I can process very well...pure hatred.

The club is at full swing and everyone is enjoying the open mic acts, I will perform towards the middle of the night, that gives me time to talk to the bastard, meet Elliot, and get the crew back to my place for our weekly after hours chill. I'm sipping on my green tea and honey talking to Lauren, Julian and Kate about one of the acts when in walks Elliot Grey with I'm guessing his brother. They don't look alike besides in height and build. Elliot has blonde curly hair and his brother has copper hair. I tap Kate and point to the two Adonis that walked into the club. Kate takes a sip of her drink and walks over to them. Since we are towards the front stage left, it takes her a while to get to them. She smiles and gives Elliot a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He seems to be introducing his brother to her and she smiles and shakes his hand, he shakes her hand but looks like he is bored. That pisses me off, strike one on that asshole. They make their way back to our booth.

"Elliot and Christian this is Lauren, Julian, and Ana. Guys this is Elliott and his brother Christian." We all shake hands and exchange greetings. When Christian takes my hand he holds on to it for longer than the acceptable amount of time. They both take a sit and I wave over one of the waitresses to take their orders.

"Hey boss lady, what can I get for you?"

"Audrey, please get these gentlemen anything they want to drink and please bring me another green tea. Oh and tell Kels to come over please."

Audrey takes Christian and Elliot's drink orders and quickly disappear behind the bar.

"Boss lady?" Elliot observes.

"Baby, remember this is Ana's club, she doesn't like being called ma'am or Ms. Steele, so they call her boss lady." Kate stokes Elliot's arm.

I smile and notice Christian raise a brow at me. Yeah this is my shit! Pompous ass, strike two. Just then I see the bastard walk into the club, unfortunately so did Julian, who whispers in my ear "what the fuck is Jose doing here?" I stand and excuse myself from the table. Kels stops me half way and I tell her to move two acts in front of me and to come back to my office after the next two acts, which give me one act before my set. I give her the two songs that I will sing so that band has them on cue. They are songs that I have sung before so it's nothing new for them. I continue on my way to the front of the club.

"Baby doll! You look fantastic! Thank you for agreeing to meet with me."

"Jose, please follow me." I turn and start walking towards the back of the club towards my office.

"Jose I don't have a lot of time, but I know that if I didn't agree to see you that you would show up at an inappropriate time. So what can I do for you?"

"Ana, I have been doing a lot of soul searching and I have been thinking a lot about us and how fucked up our situation was."

"Situation? We had a full blown relationship!" I spit at him. I stop and close my eyes and count backwards.

"Ana, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what happened between us. I was the world's biggest jerk! I took your love and trust and ripped it into two and stepped all over it. I made you face an overwhelming and tortuous procedure by yourself as I shunned you. You needed me the most and I left you all alone."

"Well, Jose thanks you for the apology. You are right you left me alone and avoided me as I had an abortion, at your request, because you weren't ready for kids or too young or whatever whack ass excuse you gave me at any day of the week. Then no more than a week later you pop up with a new girlfriend and tell me that it's over. But you know what I'm glad that everything happened the way it did because it just made me a better woman. I will accept your apology and forgive you but not for your benefit but because I have gotten tired of giving you and this "situation" my energy. I'm moving on and done with you. Have a wonderful life Jose and please never darken my doorway again."

Jose says nothing else; he nods his head and leaves my office. I start to immediately shake and the room starts to spin. I sit at my desk and place my head between my legs taking deep breathes. This doesn't help at all so I go into the center of my desk and find my inhaler. I take two puffs of my inhaler and sit back in my chair. By the time my breathing is under control, Kels comes in and tell me I'm up next. Yes this is why I'm singing, I need a release now! I straight my dress and take down my hair. I check my makeup send walk out of my office. I walk right onto the stage and as soon as I do the band starts up, man they're good! I sway and start the song I wrote at the beginning of the year when I started my sessions with Flynn.

The time is right

I'm gonna pack my bags

And take that journey down the road

Cause over the mountain I see the bright sun shinning

And I want to live inside the glow

Yeah

I wanna go to place where I am nothing and everything

That exists between here and nowhere

I wanna got to a place where time has no consequence oh yeah

The sky opens to my prayers

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

Please understand that it's not that I don't care

But right know these walls are closing in on me

I love you more than I love life itself

But I need to find a place where I can breathe

I can breathe

I wanna go to place were I can hold the intangible

And let go of the pain with all my might

I wanna go to a place where I am suspended in ecstasy

Somewhere between dark and light

Where wrong becomes right

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

I wanna go to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,

"Thank you my loves, I have one more song for you. You guys know that singing for you is the best therapy for me, so I have one that I haven't sung for you in a while but it's one of your most requested for you Rock, Paper, and Scissors." The band starts and I close my eyes and lose myself in the music, this one is especially for Jose!

You don't, you don't notice that I'm here

You don't, you don't seem to care that you play with my heart,

Take me for granted; leave me in the dark, no no

And I'm not, and I'm not, even thinking clear

Today I smile, next day full of tears

Losing my mind, I don't even know

If you're wasting my time, no no

Are you gonna crush my heart, cover me

Cut me off, make your decision, boy

Crush my heart, cover me

Cut me off, make your decision

Rock, paper, scissors

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

I don't know what you're feeling

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

Yeah yeah

Wish I, wish I, had the common sense

To know better and just walk away

Easier said, harder to do when I still think there's hope

For me and you

Always hurts to never be put first

If I'm last on your list, really what's the worth?

Keep me in fear asking you questions I don't wanna hear the answers to

Are you gonna crush my heart, cover me

Cut me off, make your decision, boy

Crush my heart, cover me

Cut me off, make your decision

Rock, paper, scissors

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

I don't know what you're feeling

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

Someone should have told me I can't compete

With someone who is impossible to beat

Makes my heart beat but is killing me,

Are the odds in my favor, don't know

Rock, paper, scissors

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

I don't know what you're feeling

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Rock, paper, scissors

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

I don't know what he's feeling

Will it be rock, paper, scissors

Yeah yeah

Again the club claps for me and I do a small curtsy to the audience. "Thank you my loves, enjoy the rest of the acts," I exit the stage and a young man by the stage helps me down. I walk back over to the booth where I see that Michael, Joey, and Shawn have joined them. Of course they know Jose and I had talked and they have a shot of Hornitos for me. I take the shot before I say anything to anyone.

"Feel better Blue?" Kate asks looking with me with eyes full of concern. She has seen me worse but also has seen me better.

"Yeah, much better! So, are one of you gentlemen going to offer me a seat or must I move you myself." I say with a coy smile, Michael instantly gets up and pulls out the chair for me and grabs a chair from the side.

"You have an incredible voice." Says Christian. So he can give a compliment.

"Thank you very much."

"So Kate told me that you two were roommates in college. What did you study?" Elliot says as he puts his arm around Kate. She leans in and this just gave Elliot two points in my book!

"Business management, with minors in hospitality and restaurant management. I always wanted to open my club and I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing. So Elliot how is the contracting business?"

We continue with the light conversation and every once and a while I would glance at Christian and he was looking at me with an intense stare not one of malicious but one of a man who has been starved and sees a steak dinner in front of him. I wring my hands in my lap, if he doesn't stop staring at me, I'm going to explode!

"So Christian, what do you do for a living?" I know full well about Grey Expertise, who in Seattle don't but I like to play stupid about information to see how people react. He looks a bit hurt and annoyed at my question and sighs. "Google me." Is all he says to me without a smirk or smile. Strike three you prompts asshole, and before I could dig into him about his attitude, Kels comes up and hands me her tablet with a restock list that needs my signature and a whiskey tonic. I sign and take a sip of my drink "Have I told you your awesome?" "Not today boss lady" I smile and stand to walk with her and talk about shut down procedures for the night. Once I am sure she knows what to do, I go into the back and change my clothes.

Once I get back to the table, I announce its time for the after set at my house. I quickly explain what the after set is and Elliot is all for it, Christian on the other hand looks like he was told he was getting a root canal.

"Darlin' you don't have to go! Better yet stay your ass here! I don't need any pompous assholes in my house." I explode and everyone in the crew becomes statues after hearing my tone. Christian puts on an impassive face, stands, and whispers something to Elliot and leaves. Good riddance!

Christian POV

Elliot drags me out to this club with him to meet the latest woman he is sleeping with, he says that this one is different. He goes on to describe her as gorgeous, feisty, funny, great body, strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. He pulls out his iPhone and shows me a picture of her, she is beautiful but so are all of Elliot's conquests.

We pull up downtown at the club. On the outside it's brick with floor to ceiling windows to look inside of it. The marquee is simply a dragonfly that is lit up in blue. The valet comes up and parks my RS7. We walk in and the club reminds me of more of a lounge, it has booths along the walls and on the right the bar that is white and blue marble. The stage takes up most of the back wall and right now a young gentleman is playing a jazz sax number. The club is very laid back with young professionals laughing and talking. As I was just about to go to the bar and order a drink, a young woman comes up to us, I'm guessing Kate since she places a passionate kiss on his lips. I shift a little in my stance by the display of PDA.

"Christian this is my girl Kate, Kate this is my little bro Christian."

"Nice to meet you." I offer my hand and she smiles as we shake.

"Come on my friends are dying to meet you."

We walk towards the back of the club to a booth, Kate introduces us to everyone at the table, and immediately the chocolate brown hair, baby blue eyed woman is all that I see. She is dressed like a fifties starlet and when I shock her hand I felt an electric pulse shoot through me. "Ana." "Christian" and I finally like go of her hand. She then waves over a waitress that takes our order. This is when I discover that this is her club, which brings me to arch my brow at her. She doesn't seem like someone who would run a business, she seems shy to me and looks like she would feel uncomfortable bossing someone around, but that changes my mind when I see her interact with the waitress. She then excuses herself from the table and walks up to a Hispanic gentleman that just walked in. I'm immediately jealous, why I don't know. She doesn't look happy to see him and they walk to the back of the club, I'm guessing to her office.

"Christian, dude Ana is gorgeous right! Kate says that she is single. Turn on that charm and get her!"

Elliot has always been more of a ladies' man than me, granted if only he knew what I wanted to do to Ana. She looks the part of my subs and I had to cancel the contract with the last one so I am looking for a new one, I would have to feel her out to see if she is even into the lifestyle. I would love to see that hot little body tied up in my playroom. My dick starts to twitch with that thought and I quickly stop that train of thought. I sit quietly as the conversation flows, mainly about the man that went into the office with Ana. Apparently he is an ex that no one in the likes and all are seriously worried about being alone with Ana. Three more of their friends have joined them and it's taking them all to convince Joey I believe that's his name to keep from barging into the office. Kels, as I'm informed by the crew, brings a shot glass of clear liquid and green tea and says it's for after her set. Jose appears and looks like he wants to come over but rethinks it and wisely exits the club. A few minutes later Ana appears and she has taken her hair down and approaches the mic. She looks like a tortured angel on the stage and as I listen to her sing I'm in awe of this woman! The songs are soulful and filled with hurt, I just want to wrap her in my arms and never let her go. Wait Grey what are you saying! You don't do hugs remember? I take a sip of my drink and continue to listen as her set is ending. She makes her way back over to the booth and takes the shot without blinking and asks for a seat, I was about to get up for her when Michael beats me to it. I compliment her singing and I can't help but to stare at her while thinking of all the ways I can get her to say my name. Then she giggles and I know that will be my favorite sound. We continue our discussions and she asks me what I do for a living and I made a bone head move before I even could think about it and tell this angel to Google me. Damn it, not the time to be an asshole. She looks like she is about to go nuclear on me but is whisked away by one of her employees. I mentally give myself an ass kicking and I don't notice that she has come back wearing a pair of jeans a burgundy off the shoulder top and scarf and have invited everyone back to her house. I usually don't do social gatherings and I'm weighing the pros and cons in my head when she uses a tone a mother would use to scold a child telling me that I'm uninvited, I have no idea what set her off but trust I'm not one to allow anyone to speak to me in that manner, but from what I observe from how the crew is acting then I know that I need to let it go and leave. I whisper to Elliot that I will see him tomorrow at the ball and ask if he needs a ride back since Taylor brought us both. He grimaces at me and shakes his head.

Once I'm back into the SUV, I email Welch to perform a thorough background check on Ana. I don't have her last name but Welch can find that since she owns property in the city. We drive through the city towards Escala and all I can think about is her and those big baby blue eyes.
