Hey readers. This is my first fanfic ever. I hope you all enjoy it. Happy reading…Do leave a review about what you think. All kind of perceptions will be warmly welcomed.

Chapter 1. You never know.

I don't do dates. Unnecesary increase in heart rate, futile release of adrenalin and all other such illicit activities associated around romantic dating churns my stomach and seriously tests my gag reflex. Mother was right. It is a perfect way to waste time. Why did I not consider it years ago! Atleast for now I have a definite goal. My next and most important target:

Target: CHRISTIAN T GREY

Status: SINGLE

Occupation: CEO, Grey Enterprise holding. Inc

Hmmhmm…This particular billionaire has enough money to fund my project and buy governments approval. If everything goes according to plan there is still hope for the future . Instead of rotting and throwing pity party for the numerous rejection I have received throughout the year for investment in my project ,I can actually plan for an alternate path…..Seducing overweight, balding billionaires could have been much more easier than a young, attractive bachelor who has females all around him eager to lick his feet, but it goes against my ethics. I don't believe in breaking homes. That's my only ultimatum. Otherwise I am by now open to all kind of options. Luckily for me there does exist 27 year old billionaire cum bachelor in this planet. Phew! That's all I ask GOD. The rest is upto me.

It has been almost 9 months since I abandoned my research and relocated here in Seattle. I have been grooming myself all these time as per requirements I think are needed for the task. Collecting information on the TARGET'S likes & dislikes had been more difficult than I estimated. Internet has been of zero help. This man protects his privacy like a kangaroo's pouch. Trick and tactics which I used to obtain the particulars were not my usual style. I even had to pretend to be in love with one of his body guard for few weeks to squeeze out informations. Atleast it also turned out to be a good practice for the upcoming similar challenge. Thankfully that bodyguard was content with only kissing. How did he even believe in my lie that I wanted to save my virginity for the marriage night is beyond me!...I guess he was just too stunned to have met a 24 year old virgin in this generation. Anyhow I got to save my V- card which I am sure will prove to be a great asset. Pure, innocent virgin, only his to belong…. Mr. Grey can you resist that huh? Well Sex will be something that I have to learn on the job itself. Can't experiment with the V-card on. It is too precious and my greatest weapon. Other than that I have taken care of most of the obstacles. Taking classes on business management and hobbies which he indulges in have been a smat move. This way we can have more common grounds to socialize in. Losing all those genetically-cursed extra pounds have done magic. Now I more than literally know what "darkening gaze of lust" means . An additional baggage,specimens of Y- chromosome seem to thrust on me these days.

Well now back to my no.1 problem of the day- 'dating'..For the greater good I have to indulge in it. "why can't we not just meet and negotiate arrangement for marriage? Like those extinct arranged marriages?!..would have saved us both a lot of breath. Anyways I have to deal with this right away. Kate, my neighbour seems a fitting mentor. Shehad come over a few times to drag me out of my apartment but I had always been busy plotting and had always been friendly and I have maintained atleast a decent relationship with her to ask her for this favour. I think I will call her now.

"Hey Kate, Its me Ana, your neighbour. Are you busy? Care to join me for drinks tonight?"

"Hey Ana!...I am just heading out to a restaurant with few friends. Why don't you join us too?!" Kate shrieks

Hmmhmm…Lets see. I wont get to talk to her privately with her friends around. Maybe I can pick up a trick or two on flirting by observing.

"Okay, I would love to join you guys. Anyways I was rotting in my apartment. Give me 5 minutes to change"

"Yeaaaa! See you In five."

I change into my regular jeans and black top. Nothing special for tonight. My job is only to observe. After exactly 5 minutes my doorbell rings. There stands Kate in my door wearing a sexy mini dress in animal prints and knee-length leather boots. She has heavy make-up and chocolate brown lipstick on. I think i look like a peasant near the Queen of the jungle. Immediately I regret my decision to not put any effort in my clothing. My messy hair tied in a bun is another story. Before I could say anything she grabs my hand and pulls me out of my home. I look back once towards my heavenly door, when I am again pushed in a car.

"Sorry, Ana..no time to waste. My date is getting highly impatient waiting for me. I had been making him wait for more than an hour now. We only recently started dating so I had look my 's why the extra hours for my hair. You know, Bait has to look good to get the prey for once and forever hooked ". She slaps her thigh in the last word and winks at me.

Oh my! Woman of my own skin. I think tonight will turn out to be more fruitful than I expected.

We reach at the bar and my mouth automatically twists.

Freaking shit! I though we would be going to some sweet little restaurant by the side of the road and not this sleeky steep building where the car has stopped. I climb out of the car and suddenly a man almost double my size picks me up from the back and yells "KATE"!...

"ELLIOT! Put her down. I am here for god's sake. You don't even recognize me. Does your brain shrink each time I meet you!" Kate yells louder.

"Oh…I am so sorry baby.I thought it was you. I was just so excited to see you for the past god- knows how many hours !" Elliot apologizes. With that the half- giant literally drops me on the ground and sweeps Kate off her feet. Well now atleast its official that tonight I will be as invisible as the dust particles floating in the air around us. Never mind.

"Baby! Put me down, people have started to stare. Let me introduce you to my dear friend and neighbour ,Ana"…Kate waves towards me. "Hi. Ana, nice to meet you. I am Elliot. Sorry about the mistake earlier."

"It's okay. Anybody will lose their wit dating someone as gorgeous as Kate". I give him a broad smile. He looks at me with lost eyes for sometime while Kate blushes obliviously at my comment.

Huh! Is it happening? Are all those social skill classes I busted my ass at for my "target" finally working? Did I just make a guy gape like an ape by only moving the right facial muscles despite me looking like shit…okay ..silly!..its no biggie. Just don't feel so happy already.

"Its good that you brought her Kate as my brother will also be joining us soon. I wanted to discuss something with him before he leaves town tomorrow" Elliot announces.

Once again I find myself being pushed inside. Within minutes of entering the charming hostess escorts us to our table. This half-giant must be someone with good connections, as the restaurant looked overflowing with wealthy- dressed customers yet he managed to get us a table in no time. We ordered our dinner and conversations flowed smoothly between Kate and Elliot. I sat like a hawk, observing them. They seem unaware about my prescence. Good.

After an hour, my brain fried to boredome. I can understand about Kate but how can Elliot also be so much into women clothing? Either he is putting up poker face to appease Kate or he is secretly gay. Yes that must be it. To distract myself I looked towards the fancy family sitting next to us. They all at the same time looked towards the entrance facing my back. The daughters trying to whispher but rather squealing with excitement. Huh?...I turn back to see a attractive man with wavy- copper hair walk straight towards me.

"Finally, my brother is here" Elliot announces, as the source of all the commotion stops right next to me. My breathe freezes on its path and my stomach cannot be. The man who had been in my mind straight from dawn to dusk for the past 9 months. About whom I had been carefully planning our first 'chance' encounter. And by now in my dreams I was "happily" married to by now.

"Christian Grey" I whispher loudly before I could take control of myself.

"Yes, that will be me" my target replies with a smirk.

I drop my head, wishing to turn into that invisible dust. I had always day-dreamed that he would be in MY position in our first meeting. That my wave of sexiness will force him to take several steps back. My less than revealing black dress will make him salivate for more. My crystal blue eyes will make him begging down in his knee. Now looking down at my fidgety hands I can do nothing but mock at the irony. I would never have let any date of mine take me out in the outfit I am wearing right now let alone The Christian Grey.

What else to do? I bite my lower lips…..
