Chapter 1: The Reunion
Today has been a two years to the date that she left his life. The day she finally had enough, he knew it was a matter of time before she left. He could not give her more, and it was not because he did not want more it was because of the prison he calls his marriage. He cannot stop thinking about her as he pours himself another glass of scotch and finishes it in two gulps. He places the glass tumbler down and looks at himself in the mirror one more time before leaving the room. His wife was waiting for him by the elevator. When she heard his footsteps, she looked up with an exasperated look on her face.
"Hurry or we are going to be late," She said
"I do not even understand why we have to in the first place," Christian said
"Because it is a Vogue party and your family will be there honey," She says with a fake smile "Now put a smile on your face and act as you love me." She said and gave him a peck on the cheek as they left the apartment.
It has been a Two years since she left, Seattle. To this day, she still misses him but she had to leave for herself. She loved him, and she knew he could not give her what she wanted which was a family. She looks at the clock in her suite and sees that she has to leave, or she will be late. Before she leaves, she takes one more look at herself in the mirror and smile because she loved her job and the fashion pieces that came with it. She loved the dark blue Elie Saab romper that she was wearing. She applies lip gloss for the final time and walks out her hotel and gets into her car and drives to the party. Once at the party she spots her best friend and the party organizer, Natalie Whitmore.
"Natalie this is amazing! You did an excellent job."
"You think so," Natalie said.
"Yes now stop worrying it is going to be a big hit," She said.
"Am I going to meet the Seattle, friends?"
"Oh, Natalie I have no idea what you are talking about you are my only friend remember."
"Whatever, Oh did you see the guest list. Christian Grey is going to be here."
"Yes, I did see that I am surprised he rsvp for the party he does not normally come to things like this."
"How would you know and I think he is coming with his wife?"
"Do you have amnesia or something cause you seemed to have forgotten that I did live here once upon a time."
"No, I did not forget. Oh, look at the time it is time to get this show on the road and, by the way, you look hot Ana Banana."
"Please stop calling me that and thanks."
The two girls walked out to the tent and started talking to the heads of the magazine and the other guests as they arrived. Natalie looked at her watch and saw that it was time for her to get to the stage.
"Welcome everyone to Vogue's Launch Party. This year we are lucky to be opening a new branch here in Seattle." Natalie waited for that applause to stop before continuing. " I will not bore you guys with a long speech about the magazine because that is not my job. That is for the lovely lady who I am here to announce so without further ado here is our new editor and chief of the Seattle Branch of vogue and my friend Anastasia Steele." As Ana walked up to the stage, the guest applauded her.
"Thank you Natalie for that introduction and please everyone join me for a round applause for Natalie for pulling this astounding party together… Once again thank you for joining us here today. Some of you may not know this about me but I grew up not too far from Seattle and I also lived here for a couple of years before my move to New York one year ago. It is so great to be back and to see familiar faces. Enough about me we are here to celebrate the expansion of Vogue. So once again from everyone at Vogue thank you for coming out and celebrating with us. Eat, drink and have a good time." Ana said before she walked off stage. When Ana got off the stage Natalie pulled her over to her and began to talk he ear off as they were walking around the party. As they were walking Ana heard her name being called. She turned around and saw her old friend Kate.
"Ana oh my God I can not believe it is you." Kate said as she hugged Ana
"Kate Its great to see you. I mean wow look at you, your pregnant." Ana said as she looked at her old friend.
"I know can you believe it. Elliot and I cannot wait for our little girl to get here."
"Oh, Kate I am so happy for you. Oh, where are my manners Kate this is my friend Natalie Whitmore and Natalie this is my friend Katherine Kavanaugh." Natalie shakes Kate's hand.
"Now Grey has been for almost a year now," Kate said.
"So you are married to Elliot the contractor right?" Natalie asks.
"Yes that is the one," Kate said.
"Congratulations I think his company is the one renovating our new office space," Natalie said. "How do you know Ana."
"Oh, we were roommates in college," Kate said. "Oh look there are my in-laws come on over with me you have to see them, Ana."
"Okay," Ana says hesitantly
"Look whom I found," Kate said as she approached the Grey's.
"Ana It has been forever since I last saw you and Oh My God do you look HOT in that outfit and your hair you cut your hair I love it. I cannot believe you are moving back to Seattle once you get settled we are going to have to go shopping." Mia said excitedly as she hugged Ana.
"Mia I am happy to see you too and yes we will have to get together sometime," Ana said. " It is good to see all of you guys and this is my friend Natalie. Natalie This is Mia Grey, Elliot Grey, Dr Grace Trevelyn-Grey, Mr Carrick Grey, Mr Christian Grey and his wife, Leila Grey." Ana said as she pointed to each person.
"It is so nice to meet you Natalie and it great to see you again Ana we have missed you," Grace says.
"I have missed all of you to Dr Grey," Ana said
"Oh its Grace An you know that."
"Ana you never told me you knew Grey's," Natalie said.
"It never really came up Natalie."
"You mean to tell me you never talked about our amazing love affair ana banana," Elliot said putting his hand over his heart feigning hurt.
"Oh I am sorry Elliot I tried to suppress my feelings for you," Ana said, "Look at you Elliot about to be a dad I am so happy for you and Kate."
"Yeah who would have thought that Kate and I would be the first to have a baby," Elliot said as he put his hand on top of Kate's baby bump.
"So Ana how was new York?" Leila asked
"It is a great city to live in," Ana said trying to avoid Christians stare.
"No boyfriend Ana?" Leila asks
"No not at this moment Leila."
"Yeah, every good man is either gay or taken I say," Leila says as she laughs.
"Ana dating now there's a challenge, Ana has not been on a date since Thomas and her broke up two months," Natalie says.
"I am too busy to date." Ana defends herself.
"Oh, Ana you should meet up with Jose. He still has a crush on you?" Kate said.
"Oh no Kate please don't start on this I am happy alone."
"No one is happy alone Ana," Natalie says
"Yeah I mean Ana I thought you would be the one married and with children by now not me," Kate says
"Yeah well I am trying to focus on my career I am only 25," Ana says
"Christian and I have been talking about starting a family but he is always so busy with work," Leila said. Ana snaps her head up at that comment and looks Christian in the eyes and she cannot read him for once. She then looks at Kate, who has a surprised look on her face.
"Well, he does have an empire to run," Carrick said speaking up for the first time.
"It was good seeing you guys again it seems I am shying away from my duties talking to all of you guys. I would love to have lunch and catch up Kate Mia and Leila you are welcome to join. Just call me." Ana said as she handed Kate her card with her number on it.
"Oh I am sorry for keeping you and I will be calling you soon I have missed you." Kate said and with that Ana leaves the group and Natalie follows her. Three hours later the party was over and only Ana and Natalie were left.
"Hey, Natalie go ahead and leave I will lock up the place. I will see you tomorrow."
"Are you sure Ana I can stay with you."
"Yeah no you have been here since eight this morning and it is five in the afternoon. Go home and get some rest because as my second in command we have much work to get done tomorrow."
"Okay, Ana see you tomorrow," Natalie said as she left. Ana made sure everything was locked up and then went to her car only to see someone leaning against it.
"I missed you, Ana," Christian said as he walked over to her. Once he was in front of her, he pulled her to him and kissed her.
