I just wanted to come back and let everyone who starts reading my story that it starts out a little slow. This is my first time writing anything like this. I love any reviews you guys would like to give me. There will be mistakes in my story because I am only human. I hope you enjoy my story and don't forget to leave a review! (:

Chapter 1

Christian POV

"You need to get away Christian. Go do something different for once. Take time off, go travel for pleasure not business," Dr. Flynn said.

"Are you telling me to drop everything at work and just go away because I don't want to be a Dom anymore? I came to you because I wanted help getting out of this lifestyle and you want me to go away?" Christian said confused, "How is that possibly going to help me?"

He must be out of his mind, or is he just tired of all my fucked up problems. I know this is his job and all, but I'm sure dealing with just me would be a life time of work for another therapist.

"Getting away to clear your head and not have to worry about work is EXACTLY what you need right now. If you have questions while you are away you have my number. You can call me whenever you need," Dr. Flynn says as he stands up letting me know our session is over.

"I will consider it. That is all I can do right now. I have a lot of thinking to do on the matter. Thank you once again John," Christian says as he leaves the office.

Taylor is waiting with the SUV when Christian comes out of the Dr.'s office. The ride back to Escala is quiet until Christian's phone buzzes.

"Grey," he yells into the phone. "Well as a matter of fact, I was thinking about going a way for a bit. No, not for business… I just need sometime for myself. I was going to let you know that I will need you to take care of things at work. Yes. You may email me if you have any questions or concerns, otherwise I would prefer not to be bothered."

Click. The conversation is over. Taylor looks quizzically in the mirror at Christian wondering what he was planning.

"Taylor, I have decided after talking with Flynn that I am going a way for a while. We will be going to Aspen. Let Gail know she will be coming with us and Sawyer also. Tell them to go ahead a pack we are leaving first thing is the morning. Have the pilot know ahead of time. I would hate to arrive to a drunken Mac like last time we had a spur of the moment flight."

"Right away Boss, will Ms. Williams be joining us on our trip? You didn't state a time frame of how long we would be gone…." Taylor replies hoping he will say no. That is just not something he wanted to deal with while in Aspen.

"No Taylor. About Leila, Ms. Williams, I want you to also have all of her items packed. Let her know that our contract is ending. I want all the pass codes changed, so that we don't have any problems at Escala while we are gone. I think this will be a fairly long trip. I will bring my laptop and what work I need done, I will do from there. Also Taylor, I want the playroom gone before morning. I want everything gone and disposed of. I'm moving on with my life and hopefully leaving that lifestyle behind me."

Taylor POV

Thank God! I am so happy he is letting my lady come along with us! I would have hated to leave her here with for so long! I am so happy to hear he wants to move on with his life. All the whores, I mean subs, want him for is his money. Don't get me wrong Grey is a very good looking man, but women chase him for his money. Let's just hope this transition from Dom to I guess you could say normal life isn't a hard one. I will prepare myself and Gail no matter what though. Anything could happen when it comes to Grey, and I have a feeling we have a long road ahead.

The next day in Aspen

Christian POV

"Good Morning Mrs. Johnson," Christian says. Mrs. Johnson is the woman who lives in and looks after his home in Aspen while he is not there.

"Good Morning Mr. Grey, Mr. Taylor. I have your room all ready and breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes. I hope your flight went well," Mrs. Johnson said as she went to the kitchen.

"Taylor, I want to relax this trip… if possible that is! I want to try to fit in like a normal person, NOT Christian Grey, CEO! So, while we are out places I want you to call me Grey instead of Mr. Grey or Boss. Got it," Christian tells Taylor who is bringing the luggage in.

"Yes sir. I can do that Grey," Taylor replies.

I sure hope this was a good idea. I just don't think I will be able to be away from work as long as I am planning on staying. I want this trip to be… FUN … Fun?! I usually only have 'fun' in the now destroyed playroom or when I am gliding or flying my helicopter. I will have to ask Mrs. Johnson if there are any events or things going on while I am here. I can't just sit in this house all day or I will go mad.

"I refuse to sit inside all the time while I am here," he explains, "I have been here for a week now and all I have done was went skiing one time… I need to find something to do… anything."

"Well there is a New Year's Eve party at The St Regis. I bet you would enjoy that. Maybe even meet some new people to do things with while you are here. If you started meeting other people Im sure you wouldn't have any trouble finding things to do," she replied as she handed him a flyer about the New Year's Eve party.

Hmmm… I will have to talk to Taylor about this. I bet he will have a field day with security on this one. It shouldn't be too bad! Maybe no one will even notice who I am. I will just have to wear casual clothes and so will security! Well I have decided and we are going! I need to make sure my team only calls me Grey or Chris! This will be the fun I needed. Shit! Now that means I need to go shopping for 'normal' clothes for both the team and myself.

Shopping with Grey

Christian POV

"This store looks like it would have 'normal' clothing. It looks like a store late teens and young adults would shop in.. I am only 22 after all… I guess I should dress like it for the party tomorrow," Christian tells Taylor.

Taylor looks in the store window and looks at Christian with a "are you serious' look on his face. Christian just smirks at him and they walk in. The music is blaring and there are a lot of teens shopping. They give each other one more look before they start walking around trying to find an outfit. They are getting a lot of stares.. Mostly from girls of course. I mean what do you expect with them walking in wearing Armani suit on.. Christian is looking at a nice pair of jeans and decides on getting them. Now he is off to look for a shirt. He turns and almost runs over a brunette. There was a sudden spark between them. Whoa what was that? Who was that?

"Oh I'm sorry," she says without even looking up at Christian and walks to help the guy she was getting a shirt for. Christian just watched her as she helped him. She went to the cash register and he paid. She walked back around the counter trying to find someone else who needed help.

Well I guess this is my chance to see who this gorgeous brunette with amazing blue eyes is!

"Excuse me," he says to her.

She turns around and blushes and says, "Oh I am so sorry about bumping into you earlier Sir. May I help you with something?"

"Yes.. I would like a shirt to go with theses jeans.. I need an outfit for New Year's Eve. Would you help me find one," he asks.

"Umm sure. Let me show you where to look. What type of shirt are you looking to get? Polo, dress shirt, t-shirt?" she asks.

"What do you like?" he says.

She blushes and recommends him getting a white Polo button up shirt. He of course does. He wondered if they worked off of commission or not. He decided to get the whole nine yards. He got a new belt, shoes, socks, jeans, and a shirt for New Year's Eve. Besides his New Year's Eve outfit he got 2 other pair of casual jeans, 3 T-shirts, 2 Polo collared shirts, and a Polo cap.

"I think this will be all for me today…," he looks at her name tag, "Anastasia."

She blushes again and says, "It's Ana," and finishes ringing up his items.

"Thank you Ana! I enjoyed shopping with you today," he told her as he collected his bags.

"Thank you….," she waited for his name.

Amused at her facial expression as she waited for him to reply, he said, "Chris. My name is Chris."

"I hope to see you again Anastasia," he smiles his panty dropping grin and walks away leaving her speechless.

Once they were out of the store Christian was wondering what the hell just happened. He just flirted with a woman. He was supposed to be getting away from his soon to be (hopefully) former lifestyle…. But all he wanted to do in that moment was take her to one of the dressing rooms and put her over his knee and spank the shit out of her. Then he wanted to fuck her HARD!

"Taylor, I want to know who that Anastasia girl is! Get back to me as soon as you find out," he says.

"Right on it Bo... I mean Grey," Taylor replied as he got on the phone.

Whoa. She was breathtaking! I must know who she is. I will have to make a trip back there soon. Anastasia… I wonder why she wants to be called Ana?! Anastasia is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I have to know who she is.

Taylor POV

Oh hell. Here we go again. I thought her said something about changing his lifestyle. Why didn't we just stay in Seattle if he was going to do this? Hmmm… Boss is going to be upset. Welch can't seem to find anything on this young lady. He came across one file that might be about her. It was closed though. Even Welch as good as he is couldn't get that file open. Something bad must have happened to the poor girl. We could only manage to get minimal information on her. We couldn't even get her date of birth. Boss is defiantly not going to like this.
