Finding the Unexpected

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION! I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS, THEY BELONG TO EL JAMES. THE STORY LINE DETAILS BELONG TO ME.

CHAPTER 1

(A POV)

I can't get out of there fast enough. Kate owes me big time for dealing with such an ass. I decide to go to Barnes and Noble before I go back home. I need the relaxation more than anything right now. As I walk inside I can't stop myself from smiling. I love to read and this place is heaven to me. I don't know what I am looking for, but when I come across it, I will know. Not knowing how much time has passed, I lean back as I scan through the book. I suddenly stop and lean forward as I feel as I leaned into someone's back. I turn around in embarrassment and start apologizing. I look into his bright blue eyes and I suddenly blush. I'm about to apologize again and he nods his head and tells me that it's okay. We end up laughing out loud.

"Hi, I'm really am sorry." I whisper as I blush.

"Honestly, you are fine. No damage done." This stranger says with a smile.

"My name is Luke and you are?" Luke responds with a smile.

"I'm Ana. It's nice bumping into you ... I mean meeting you." I blush with embarrassment.

We end up talking about what we are both scanning through and we end up laughing seeing that we are looking at the same book. I have never felt this comfortable with a guy before. Not only is he a guy who likes to read too, but talk about handsome as well. Suddenly his phone rings and he politely excuses himself for privacy. I take a glance at my watch and I start panicking seeing how much time has passed. As I turn around I see Luke walk towards me.

"I'm sorry Ana, but duty calls and I have to be on my way. I know you are just visiting, but can I have your number? Maybe we can meet up again." Luke asks shyly.

"I have to leave as well, it's a long drive and I have finals to study for. I would like to meet up with again too." I shyly answer. I give him my number as he gives me his.

The rain is starting to come down harder. I am trying to run as fast as I can without slipping. I am paying more attention on the puddles that I suddenly bump into something hard making me fall hard on my ass. I am now soaked and sitting on the sidewalk with a sore ass.

"What the fuck? Why don't you watch were you are going?" Mr. Grey angrily yells at me as he is wiping his suit. I notice the large muscle guy watching our conversation only with a huge smirk on his face.

"It was an honest mistake dammit! I am so sorry on messing up your precious suit. Send the damn cleaners bill to Kate and I will pay you for touching your precious suit." I angrily yell back as I ignore his hand as I get myself up.

I angrily walk away quickly ignoring him calling my name. I finally reach Kate's vehicle and reach for the handle and I feel a hand grab my shoulder. I remember Ray's self-defense training and I reach for his hand twisting it and turning around kneeing the person in the groin. I suddenly see the muscle guy leaning forward trying to hide the pain.

"OhmyGod … I am so sorry Mr.?" I ask feeling really bad, but also try to hold back my laughter.

"I'm fine and my name is Taylor." Taylor answers' still trying to hide the pain etched on his face, but is smiling in the process.

"Ms. Steele … Mr. Grey would like a word with you before you leave." Taylor responds with a smirk.

"Well Taylor, please inform Mr. Grey that I don't need a word with him. Taylor please get out of this rain before you get yourself sick since some people can't do their own dirty work. It was a pleasure meeting you Taylor." I smile and nod as I get in Kate's vehicle.

"Very well Ms. Steele, I will give him your message word for word. Drive safely as you go back home." Christian nods with a smirk.

I watch Taylor run back to the SUV and as I pass him, I wave bye and he smirks again holding back his laughter.

(Luke's POV)
Being on standby sucks at times, so I decide to go to Barnes and Noble and find a new book. It is crazy on the amount of books I read in a short period of time. Not that I'm complaining... I grab for a book trying not to bother the girl who is so lost in reading. I start to scan through the book and I suddenly feel someone lean up against me. I automatically get into defensive mode, but as I see the embarrassing look written all over this beautiful girl, I become speechless. We end up laughing and I want to know everything about her.

"Hi … I'm really am sorry." This beautiful girl whisper as she blushes.

"Honestly, you are fine. No damage done." I respond with a smile. I can't believe I just said that, I must sound like an idiot to her.

"My name is Luke and you are?" I respond with a smile hoping she doesn't flee from me. Her beauty is just breath taking.

"I'm Ana. It's nice bumping into you ... I mean meeting you." Ana blushes with embarrassment. I can't believe what she just said, but it gives me hope.

We end up talking about what we are both scanning through and we end up laughing seeing that we are looking at the same book. I have never felt this comfortable with a girl before. Honestly with this job, it's hard being in a relationship. Not knowing what comes over me, I'm determined to make this work. Suddenly my phone rings and I politely excuses myself for privacy. I feel frustrated that my time with her is being disturbed. Taylor notifies me to meet up at the apartment due to our upcoming trip. Not asking more since I rather have a few more minutes with Ana I agree and hang up. I walk closer to her hoping I don't make an idiot of myself.

"I'm sorry Ana, but duty calls and I have to be on my way. I know you are just visiting, but can I have your number? Maybe we can meet up again some other time." I ask shyly, hoping she yes.

"I have to leave as well, it's a long drive and I have finals to study for. I would like to meet up with you again too." Ana shyly answer.

I cannot believe my ears, she agreed. I wish I was off so I could drive her myself; this weather makes me nervous leaving her on her own. We exchange numbers and I feel like a teenager again. We walk towards the doors and Ana waves as she gets in line to purchase her book. I take a quick glance again and quickly turn away blushing as Ana catches me. She really probably thinks I'm an idiot. I can't get her out of my mind. I'm smiling to myself like a crazy person, but I don't care. I return to the apartment and I am surprised that I beat them here. I go ahead and text Taylor that I am in the office waiting. Not knowing how much time has passed, I suddenly hear the elevator open. I can hear Christian irritated as hell about something.

"Why didn't you try harder Taylor? Damn she is fucking hard headed. Whatever ... just go relax Taylor and are you okay by the way?" Christian smirks with his question.

"Yes sir, I am fine. I will be in my office if you need anything." Taylor responds trying to control himself from laughing out loud.

Taylor walks in with a limp and rubbing himself. I have to take this opportunity to get under his skin.

"So I see Mr. Sunshine is turning you on again. Just hope Gail is as understanding as I am." I smirk.

"Screw you Luke! I was chasing some woman for him and she thought I was an attacker and kneed me in the groin. It was well worth it too, she turned him down flatly. His face was priceless." Taylor responds with laughter.

We end up laughing for a while and finally get all the information on our trip coming up.
