THE NEXT STEP: CHRISTIAN WANT'S ANA TO MOVE IN, BOOK 3:
Hi, This is book three to my continued story of Anastasia's and Christian's romance. Please review.
CHAPTER 20: ANASTASIA'S GRADUATION:
(Anastasia's P.O.V) Christian and I are get out of bed. We're still groggy from not enough sleep. We both wash up, while the shower heats up. We then get into the shower. My mind must've trailed off, cause now he's drying my body off. He also towel dry's my hair. "Baby, What were you thinking about? Christian ask's me as I get out of my head. "I was just thinking about today and how my life has so much changed in the last 3 weeks, compared to the 4 yrs. Also I was thinking how I came to have the most terrific, sensitive, romantic man that I know, plus one thats an amazing lover, I say and blush. "I don't know. I've been asking that same question about you. How a beautiful, smart,loveable,loving and caring young lady would fall for someone like me, Christian says as we're getting dressed. "I see that Kate told you about this dress? I ask him. "Yes, she told me that it's something that you really wanted but couldn't afford, Christian says. "Thank you, it really does look good on me and I've wanted to wear it for graduation, I say as he zips me up. He's wearing a blue suit, white shirt, black shoes,socks, and belt, also his blue/grey tie. We pack our totes and spray on cologne and perfume. It's 2:30 p.m. when we walk into the elevator to go down. Underneath this dress, I'm wearing thigh highs, black lace thong and push up strapless bra. Also my black leather knee high zip boots. We get into his R9 car and he drives to pick up Elliott and Kate. After we get them at Kate's and my apartment, he then drives us to the cafe. Christian and I get half a ham and cheese sandwich with a bowl of soup. We also get cokes. Elliott and Kate get cheeseburger's, fries and 2 cokes. We find a table and eat. While we're eating, we talk about graduation, Christian's b-day, Kate's vacation and we each share our news. "Elliott asked me to move in with him, Kate says. "What about the apartment? I ask her. "I've already told my dad and he said that he'll sell it, once I've talked to you and find out what you're doing with Christian, Kate says. "Well, that's funny Kate, causa I had also asked Ana to live with me. We both had agreed that when it was time for Ana to go back to her apartment after you come back, that she wouldn't be able to leave me. Ana had said yes, so you need to call your dad and tell him that we'll be over there tomorrow and clean up, so he could sell the place, Christian says. Kate and I both shrieked and hugged. We finished eating and then we left. We all got back into Christian's car. "Hey, let's call mom and tell her the news, she'll be over joyed, Elliott says. "Thats a good idea, Christian says as we're all sitting in his car at the cafe. It's 3:42 p.m. Christian dial's his mom. "Hello Christian, is something wrong? Grace ask's. "No mom, I'm here in front of the cafe, with Elliott, Ana and Kate. We all have some good news to share with you, Christian says. "Oh, let me get your father, he'll want to hear this too, Grace says. We all wait while Grace goes and tell's Carrick to get on the other phone. "O.K dear, tell us the good news, Grace says. "Elliott and I have asked Ana and Kate to move in with us. Ana and Kate both said yes, Christian says. Grace is starting to cry. "Thats great news boys. I knew you were the perfect young lady that would change our sons life Ana. Also I'm thankful for you Kate, You have calmed the party boy and now he's ready to be with only you, Carrick and Grace both say. "Thankx mom, Christian and Elliott say. Grace can hear Kate and I crying. "Damn, that's so sweet, Kate says. "I don't think I'm the only reason for him to change, he did this himself, I say. "You helped, Christian says. His parents both agreed. "Well, we better get going. We'll see you at the auditorium, Christian says. "O.K. son seeya there, Carrick says. They both hang up and Christian drives us to the auditorium. It's 4:05 p.m.
(Christian's P.O.V) I'm driving us to the auditorium. "I knew that dress was you, Kate says as she looks over the backseat. "Yeah, it does look good on you baby. It's just like you. Sophisticated, demure, sexy and elegant. I also like how it's made and that it's black and above the knee length. I also love how its bare on the chest,arms and shoulders. There's no sleeves,but straps that wrap around under the shoulder. Also the bodice curves showing those beautiful breasts of yours (I see Ana blushing cause she doesn't like me talking out loud about her body, but I don't give a crap. I love her body and it's all mine and I can talk about her body if I want to) I also love how it has a swoop down in the middle and it really shows your crests of your breasts, I say. "Damn bro, enough talking of her breasts, Elliott says. "Why Ana has the perfect body, Kate says. "Thank you Kate, I say. I pull into the auditorium and it's packed. Kate's parent's. Ethan and Mia, My parent's, Taylor, Gail and Sawyer all pull in and park close to eachother. We all walk in and Kate and Ana get there caps and gowns. They put them on and we take several pictures of them. We them go to the bleachers and find everyones seats. It turns out that they're all sitting together. Ana, Kate and I walk down to the main floor. Ana takes her seat. Kate and I walk onto the stage and sit with the other professors and the dean. Kate's also giving a speech today. She's the validictorion. It's 4:50 and the ceremony is about to start. I'm nervous as I look over my speech. I'm looking at Ana and she's smiling and mouthing "You got this" I just smile at her. She's got a lot of confidence in the both of us. I love her. I wink and I hear my name being called. The whole place is cheering and applauding. I thank the dean and start my speech.
(Anastasia's P.O.V) Christian looks so stressed as he's talking and keeping focus on me. He ends his speech and then Kate talks. Everyone is still applauding for Christian as he sits down. Kate begins to talk and then she's done. The dean comes up and starts reading off the graduates names. Christian is standing and shaking everyone's hand and posing for pictures. It's 7:02 p.m. When the dean calls my name it's 9 p.m. I walk upto the dean and he hands me my diploma. I shake his hand before I walk over to Christian. We pose for pictures and he asks the photograper for 3 copies of the photo. The photographer says yes and we shake hands before I walk off stage and back to my seat. There's 24 more graduate's before we can finally get out of here. When the last graduate sits down, then we all stand and throw our caps in the air. The whole auditorium is hooting, hollaring and clapping. Kate's family, Christian's family, Christian and kate all walk down to me. We huddle in a group and hug. They all congratulate's Kate and me. "I too also have news, Grace says. "We already know mom. I told Ana and Christian. Kate's trip is being pushed back for not only his birthday, but cause Kate and Ana are moving in with Christian and I, Elliott says. "Yeah and his party is going to be pushed up, cause of our business trip and My surprise will be on the 15 and 16 th so we'll need to stay at your place, while it's being remodeled, I say. "O.K. Dear. Just let me know two days before so I can get the questroom ready or if you want to stay in Christian's old room? Grace ask's me. "I would like to stay in Christian's room, I say. " , Ana, I'm sorry to interrupt,but Gail isn't feeling good. She would like me to take her home. Also I've got to pick up Sophie in the morning and Sawyer has to take his mom to the hospital, Taylor says as he's walking towards Kate and me. He hands us three gifts each. I nod thank you. "It's o.k. Take care Gail and feel better. Say hi to your mother and also Sophie, Christian and I both say to Gail, Sawyer and Taylor. They all get into Taylor's car and drive off. We all follow them out and get into our cars. Christian's following Carrick and Grace. Ethan and Mia are behind us and Kate's parents are the 4th car following last. We get to there house in about 27 minute's and he parks the car behind there's. It's 10:53 p.m. when we're walking into there house.
CHAPTER 22:PARTY AT THE GREY'S:
(Christian's P.O.V) We're all walking in and Gretchen hands us a drink. My mom points to where the bathroom is and Ana and I go change our clothes and wash up. Ana takes off her make-up. We walk out. " , Miss. Steele, they've all went out back and are waiting on you. Ana and I nod and walk towards the back. We walk thru the kitchen and go out back. Everyone's waiting on us so they can get there food at the buffet. They're all sitting at a oval table, with another table that has gifts on it. There's also a DJ and a dance floor. Ana and I get our food and we all sit down, relax and eat our food. It's 11:31 p.m. We're all relaxed and talking about the future. "Dear, I know that you had made a promise to fix us lasagna, but since this is your's and Kate's day. We'll have your lasangna another time, my mom says to Ana. Ana just nods. "I've had yours and kate's favorite foods prepared, My mom also says. "Thank you Grace is looks delicious, Kate says. We all finish eating and before cake and champagne,or coffee, Kate and Ana open up gifts. Kate and Ana also exchange gifts too. Kate and Ana open up Sawyer's, Taylor's and Gail's first. They all three bought Ana a gift certificates for a 3 time spa,sauna and hair make-over. Also Gail got Ana a cook book to help teach me how to cook. Elliott and I put the gifts in bags to take with us when we leave. Next they exchange gifts and they each bought the same purse. Kate's parent's got Kate money and a few suits with skirts and one pant. Kate's parents got Ana some novel's and a sweater. Mia and Ethan got Kate and Ana some pj's for the trips. They're shorts and t-s. Elliott and I got Ana and Kate some sexy things, like a few sex toys, dvd's and a few naughty lingerie. I personally got Ana more. I bought her a few baby dolls, three corset bustier body suits, 3 corsets and 2 bustier's. I saw them when Ana was trying on business suits for our work trip. I knew I had to buy her these, cause she'll be too bashfull. I also got her 4 teddy's, push-up bra's, strapless bra's and several thongs, bikini thongs and 2 see thru short lace robes.I wrote a note telling her there's more. I also bought her a leather strap bodysuit that is just straps and nothing else. Her vagina area, her breast's and her behind will be all bare, along with the rest of her body. Ana opens the boxes and she's nervous. She doesn't want to hold up the stuff in front of my parents and Kate's. Ana reads the little note and looks shocked and speechless at that there's more. I lean over and whisper. "I want you to wear this and this tonight? I ask her. I'm pointing to the strap bodysuit and also the white sheer corset bustier bodysuit. Ana looks at me, then leans into my ear. "BABY, I'LL WEAR THEM, I'LL EVEN WEAR NOTHING IF YOU WANT, Ana whispers seductively. (SH-, She's going to make me come in my jeans. I'm already hard as stone from seeing her walk out of the auditorium in her dress. Also when she changed here into her mini skirt,tube top and those boots, DAMN. Now seeing her holding the lingerie under the table) "I think after cake, we'll have to ask Ethan to take Kate and Elliott home. I'm dying to be inside of you, I whisper. "I want you too. I know Kate and Mia want me to dance with them, but I don't want to. I rather dance with you in our apartment, if you know what I mean, Ana whispers seductively and sexy. "I do baby, I whisper. My mom and dad bring out a huge cake. Kate and Ana both blow out the candles. They make a wish even though it's not her birthday. We eat cake and have a little champagne, cause I'm driving.
(Anastasia's P.O.V) (I can't believe that Christian bought me MORE sexy lingerie. He's got me even naughtier lingerie. I didn't know they made leather strap bodysuits. The leather strap bodysuit shows everything and it plumps up my ass and breasts and has my vagina on full display. "Baby, why did you get that strap bodysuit at that store that I'd just shopped in. I'll be red in the face everytime I see that lady? I whisper asking. "I saw it when you were in the dressing room and I knew I had to get it for you, Christian whispers. "O.K. now it's time to get on the dance floor, Grace says. The DJ starts the music. Kate, Ethan, Mia, Elliott, Grace, Carrick, Kate's parents all get on the dance floor. "Ethan, could you do Christian and I a huge favor? I ask him before he dances with Mia. "Sure, What is it? Ethan ask's. "Christian and I want to go home and have our own celebration. Could you take Elliott and Kate home? I ask him. "Sure, just let me go tell Mia and then I'll tell Elliott and Kate, Ethan says. "GREAT, I just need to talk with Grace and tell her we're leaving. "Grace, Christian and I are going to go. We want to be alone, I say. "O.K. You two have fun, Grace says. "Thank you for the party, I say as Christian and I gather up the bags. "You're Welcome dear. I'll talk with you later. Drive safe Christian, Grace says as Grace waves to us and Christian drives away. It's 1:20 a.m.
CHAPTER 23: SEX,SEX AND MORE SEX, PLUS PLAYROOM:
(Christian's P.O.V) I pull into the Escala parking garage and we get out and go upto our apartment. It doesn't take long to go up, since we're in my private elevator. When the elevator dings, we walk out and walk thru the foyer. Ana and I get some water bottles and go change in our bedroom. We wash up in the bathroom. Ana hides in the closet to change into one of the two pieces of lingerie that I had asked her to put on. When she walks out, she's in her cotton robe and is holding the robe completely closed. She doesn't want me to see what she's picked yet. I have just boxer's on under my robe. We walk to the playroom and I let her walk in first. She look's and touches everything thats in here. After she touches and feel's the bed, the bed frame, the couch, the spanking bench, the golden grid pull wall and the stationairy golden grid wall. She also feel's the flogger's, whips, canes, crops, CATS and feather whips. I'm nervous for what shes going to say. She hasn't spoke since we came in here. She finally looks at me. "I LOVE EVERYTHING IN HERE. I LOVE THE WAY THE BED LOOKS AND THE CARVINGS. I also love the spanking bench. We'll have to try that. I want you to cuff me up onto the golden grid wall, Ana says. "Baby, this is your first time in my playroom. I thought we would just go thru and me explain to you all the toys and show you what they do. I want to know what you like, what you maybe like but not throw away and what you want me to get rid of. After we go thru them all, then we can really play and we'll do scenes, switch and also do role play, I say. "O.K, but I still want you to cuff me to the pull grid wall before we leave here. I love to be cuffed and restrained, Ana says. (DAMN,SHE LIKES TO BE 'S MAKING ME REALLY, REALLY HARD AND I'M ABOUT TO EXPLODE) "O.K. but let me show you my toys in these chest's, I say to her. "O.K. Ana says and she walks over to where I am standing. I start to open all the drawer's of the first chest. Ana peaks inside and sees everything.
(Anastasia's P.O.V) I'm standing next to Christian and he's pulling out the first items from the first drawer. There's vaginal and nipple clamps. There's 3 sizes to the nipple clamps and 2 for the vaginal clamps. "Do these hurt? I ask him as I point to all of them. "No baby, they just sting for a minute, but then I'll make you feel really good, Christian says in a really husky,sexy voice. He picks up the small size of nipple clamps and puts one on my finger, then he snaps it off. "Ooh, I like those, I say. "Good, I'll remember, Christian says. He puts them back. He then takes out vibrators, moving and sound vibrators. 2 head vibrators and wands, plus a cock ring. "You don't have to explain or show me what these do. I already know and love them, I say with my face red. "O.K baby, Christian says. I look in the third drawer and I scrunch my face. He pulls out butte-plugs and vaginal plugs. "What do they do and do they hurt? I ask him. "No they don't hurt, they're very good. It makes and prolongs the female to orgasm and when she does, it makes her have multiple. It's to enhance the sex in both areas. It has a ring or string that you leave close to the opening and I move it everytime after I hit your g-spot, Christian says. "The cock ring? I ask. 'It's to prolong my orgasm and from coming. Also in enhances your pleasure and makes me even bigger, Christian says. I grab it and hold it. "I think I would do this one now, I say. His eyes pop open big. He puts the rest back. He takes out cuffs, ankle and wrist cuffs, chain cuffs and leather and furry cuffs too. I grab the chain cuffs and put it with the cock ring. He looks at me still speechless. I walk over to this glass case and open it. "What's this? I ask him. He takes the toy out. "This baby, is a spreader bar. You lay flat and I cuff your ankles and spread you wide open. It also has wrist cuffs to hook you to it. You'll be in a ball on your knees and your arms will be behind your back and I pleasure you from behind, Christian says. "I like this one a lot. I've done this one before, I say. "You have? Christian ask's. "Yes, so I want to do this one this week-end, I say. "O.K. Baby, this one is alright for beginners and it's not to hurt your body too much, Christian says. I can hear his breathing change, his pupil's are dilated. His voice is more huskier. I see him shutting the drawers to the chest and he's now walking over to his music and picking a song. I take the stuff that I've picked and walk over to the grid to get ready for him. I take off my robe. He turns around and almost loses his mind and comes in his boxers.
(Christian's P.O.V) I didn't have to tell Ana to go over to the grid pull wall. She just did it. I'm now facing her and standing at my stereo. (She has already taken off her robe and is standing where she is, wearing the leather strap body suit. I'm in aww at her being brazen and wearing the strap bodysuit. It has a criss-cross straps that make and X on her stomach and there a metal small hoop between her breasts but below. The X is pushing them up more and making them bigger. Her Ass is the same, more bigger. There's also a triangle that's outlining her vagina. I spin my index finger around. She turns around and I see her whole naked body and her creamy white skin. She's completely naked and is a vixen. My sexy little tigress,minx,vixen and angel all rolled into one sexual young beautiful woman. There's a black strap around her waist and two straps under each butte cheek that go with the triangle. The body suit snaps. I like that, it makes it faster to get off of her. She looks like a sexy, tigress dominatrix. I'll have to buy her more of these, once we switch roles and she's dominating me) I walk over to her. "DAMN BABY, YOU LOOK SEXY AS HELL. YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD BE A DOMINATRIX, I say in a sexy husky voice. "Maybe after we started switching, maybe I might, Ana says. I grab the cuffs and I hook the hooks on the grid. I then grab each of her wrists and I cuff them in the leather cuffs. I then hook them to the grids. Her arms are stretched up and wide, but not too wide. I don't want her hurting or pull something. "I'm not going to cuff your ankles baby, but I'm going to unsnap the bottom of this ravishing bodysuit. I want to try another toy on you. I think you'll love this one. It's called a riding crop and it doesn't hurt. I'll go slow and let you get the feel of it, I say as I'm standing right in front of her. "O.K, Ana says. I kneel down and unsnap the straps that are underneath her ass and free the triangle thats around her vagina. I walk around and I see that its hanging loosely on her. I move to her right side and stand at an angle and start to run the crop up her right arm. I see she's getting the feel of it. I then run it back down and move it down her right side. She giggles. It's one of her ticklish spots. I rub it around her right breast and circle it on her nipple. It turns hard and perks up. I don't know what time it is, since I'm away from my phone, but I assume it's probably around 4 or maybe 3:30 a.m. "BABY, Do you like this? I ask her as I'm walking around her body and running the crop up and down her back and over each butte cheek. "YES, Ana says breathlessly and with sexyiness in her voice. (My girl's getting really turned on by this..I think I'll put this in the keep pile) After I run it all over her entire body, I then stand at the right side again and begin to flick it on her body. Her arm, her breast, her nipple, her hip, stomach, thigh, left side, her left arm, left breast and nipple. She's gasping for air and really breathing hard. "Baby breathe slowly, I say softly. I wait until she's relaxed and calm. "Did you like it? Did I go too fast? If I did, I'm sorry I just got carried away. "It wasn't to fast and yes I loved it, Ana answer's. I see her blush. I then see that her complexion has changed. "Baby, do you want to lie down? I ask her. "No, Ana answers and lowers her face. I take her chin and raise her face to look at me. "I, I, came, Ana said embarrassed. "You did? I ask her. "Yes, thats why I was having a hard time breathing. I came twice, Ana says. I glide the body suit over and see her completely drenched. (She's glistening..DAMN, I haven't even been inside her yet. She's already came twice) I drop the crop and I unhook her and unsnap the bodysuit and throw it on the floor. I pick her up and take her to the bed. I then lay her down and then lay next to her. Ana turns over and gets on top of me. She then pulls down my boxer's and then sits straight up. She positions herself on me and I fully go inside of her.
(Anastasia's P.O.V) (DAMN, HE'S SO BIG AND HARD) I place the palms of my hands on his chest and I lift up with my heels, then I lower myself down. He pushes his pelvis back up and I lower down again. He's holding my hips and we're doing this several times. Once I've got my rhythem, he lets go of my hips and he massages and kneads my breasts as I'm riding him. I lower my torso and he can feel my full breasts on his bare chest. We kiss and our kiss goes really hungry and intense. We're devouring eachother and breathing hard. His hands move around my body from my breasts to my Ass. He kneads and squeezes my butte-cheeks. I raise back up and I start riding him again. He tells me to go faster and I do. His groans are getting louder and he's really being an animal along with me. He turns us over and now he's on top of me again. I spread my legs wider and bend them. My right heel is under his butte-cheek and digging into him. He's moved further into me. I can feel his balls touching me. We're breathing hard and rapid. We're both sweating a lot and I run my hands back up his back and my nails claw his back, but not make it bleed. I know he'll have scratches on his back and a few bite marks on his shoulders and neck. "Harder, Faster, Baby, Hard and FAST, I say. He does. We're both moaning, groaning, whining, whimpering, screaming and clinching when our orgasm's rip thru us. We call out eachother's names and then he collapses on me. He's not completely on me. His forearms are keeping him a little up, so he doesn't crush me. After about 15 minute's, we're both calm and we get up and put on our robes. We clean up the room and I grab the leather bodysuit. We walk out and we go into the bathroom. We run the water and put in jasmine scented bubble bath in. I wash the straps on my bodysuit and we wash our faces. We then climb into the filled tub and sink down in the hot water and bubble bath. We soak for awhile and then we wash eachother. We get out and dr off. I slip in just panties and he puts on boxer's. We get into bed. We snuggle close together and we're facing eachother. He pulls me into him closer and we wrap around eachother like vines. "Good night baby, Christian says. "Goodnight baby, I say. We kiss and whisper softly I love you. We close our eyes and go to sleep.
CHAPTER 24: ANA'S MOVING IN WITH ME:
(Christian's P.O.V) I can't believe that I finally got Ana into my playroom last night. I told her just let her nerves go and let her body do the talking. She amazed me this morning. I picked out the riding crop and cuffed her to the grid pull wall like she asked and I tried the crop on her. She let her body relax and let her body express how she was feeling. I can't believe she also wore that strap bodysuit. We'll definetly be doing more of the restraining and the crop. Ana's phone rings and she answers it. We just woke up about 10 minutes ago. It's 2 p.m. We didn't get to be until 7 a.m. "It's Kate, Ana says as I get up and go to the bathroom to give her privacy to talk. About 35 minute's Ana comes into the shower and we end up having shower sex. I didn't think we would have time, but Ana and her hands as they lingered down my body and she grabbed onto my dick. I got really hard and new that she was wanting sex. I lifted her up by her thighs and held her body against the shower wall and I slowly lowered her down onto me. We instantly went like animal's along with our hands and mouth. When we're both sated, we got washed up and dried off. Ana put on sexy white bra and thong panties, with her cut off jean shorts and a white button down blouse that she buttoned the bottom buttons and tied above her navel. I'm wearing jeans and a black t shirt. We rummage thru the fridge and as we get started, she wraps her hair up into a messy bun. We fix a grilled chicken and cheese panini with chips and hummus with fruit smoothies. We clean up after we eat and then get into the SUV. I drive us to Kate's and Ana's apartment. I see that Ethan's car, Kate's parents, my parents and Elliott's truck along with a U-Haul are all parked out front of the apartment. I park behind everyone and we go in. Ana and I see that everything is a mess. Furniture is took apart, clothes and other things are in piles. Drawers are pulled out. Elliott,Ethan, and I start to get to work and carry the furniture out to the U-Haul. We make several trips. Kate has shelves,desk,bed and the table for her pictures. A couch, chairs,coffee table and another desk. Ana only has her furniture for her bedroom. Kate and Ana sit down on the floor and she helps her finish sorting clothes and other things. Elliott puts boxes,bags and luggage in his truck to take back to his place. Ethan takes the goodwill stuff to donate. We all take a break before we start in on Ana's room and clean the apartment.
(Anastasia's P.O.V) I am surprised at myself. I let my nerves and fears go away and just let body experience something that was truly wonderful. He showed me the riding crop. I've never tried that one before and I loved it. Whenever Christian was showing me the toys and explaining what they do in his first chest, I kept looking over at the grid pull wall. I saw and felt it when I looked at everything, before we did the toys. It was calling for me. I love being restrained and when I told Christian that he was shocked and somewhat excited. Once we got thru the first chest, he knew I was anxious to get cuffed to it, so I just went over there and waited for him, without him telling me. He went over to his music and selected songs. When he turned back around, he almost came in his boxers and the look he had was pure animal lust. I knew that I pleased him. Earlier when we were at his parents for the party, he told me to either wear the strap leather bodysuit, or the white sheer corset bustier bodysuit. I wanted to be a little daring and I was already excited, so I chose the leather strap bodysuit when we got home. Christian and I are in my apartment that I share with Kate. Kate and I are packing everything up. Either to go to storage,goodwill or trash. The stuff that we're keeping will go to Elliott's place or Christian's when we finally leave the apartment. After everything is packed and gone, then we have to clean the apartment really good. Mr.K's having a realtor come over and he wants the place clean. Everyone's here helping Kate and me. Grace, Carrick, Mr and Mrs K, Ethan and Mia, and also Elliott. Kate just finished with her things and the guys,except Christian took everything where it needed to go. We're taking a break and Mr. and Mrs K have left to go get pizza's, and beers for all of us. It's 7:35 p.m. Mr. and Mrs K walk in with 3 pizza's and two 6 pack bottled beer. We all eat and just relax. Kate mentions how she's going to miss this place and I start to get teary eyed. Kate and Christian come closer to me and Kate and I hug. "Kate, I need to talk with you privately for a minute, I whisper in her ear. We go into my room. We've finished eating, but the rest of them are still eating. Kate and I sit down leaning against my bed. "What's up? Kate ask's me. "I need your help going thru Rays things. I don't know if I could do it around Christian and even though he knows the story, I just rather have you help me? I ask her. "Sure, let me go get us some waters and I'll be back, Kate says. She gets up and goes and gets waters. While she's gone, I get up and walk into my closet where I have the boxes hid. I sit down on the floor and I open up the first box. I open up the album and look at all the pictures. I start to sob as I take out Rays favorite shirt. It still smells like him. I cry harder and everyone can hear me. Christian, Elliott, Ethan, and Grace all look towards my bedroom door. Kate walks in with the rest of them at the entrance. "Oh man, I left you alone. I got distracted by Elliott, Kate says as she crouches down and sits next to me. She wraps her arms around me and holds me for what seems like 17 minute's. Grace comes in and sits down on the other side of me and comforts me too. "It's o.k. dear. Let it out, Grace says. Grace looks down and see's a picture of Ray, my mom and me, when I was 10 yrs old. "You're beautiful in this, Grace says as I wipe and blow my nose. I look at the same picture. "Thanks, that was when we were all together, before mom cheated on Ray, I say. I didn't notice that Christian and Elliott were standing in the entrance of my closet. They too sit down. "Baby, if it's going to be to hard for you, why don't you just take all of it with you, Christian says. "Thats a wise idea, Grace says. "I don't know if I can take it with me, knowing that it's with me. I love Ray and mom, but I want to start my life with you, I say still sobbing a little. "You want a new chapter? Grace ask's and says. "Yeah, I say. "O.K, How about this, We'll go through all of these boxes and you pick out 2 things that you want to keep, then we can put the rest in the storage unit, Kate says to me. "Christian, Elliott, Grace. Could you give Ana and me some privacy, so we can go thru the three boxes? Kate ask's them.
(Christian's P.O.V) Elliott, my mom and I get up and walk out of Ana's room, leaving Ana and Kate to go through the three boxes of Rays belongings. Elliott, my mom and I walk back into the living room. "Is Ana alright? Ethan, Mia and Mrs K all ask me. "Yeah, she's fine. She just is going thru the things that belonged to Ray, her step-dad, I answer. "Does she want our help? Mia asks. "No dear, Kate's with her, she'll be fine. If she needs us, she'll let us know, my mom says. We just all sit and wait while Kate and Ana go thru the things. It's 9 p.m. Mr and Mrs K decide to go home. About 9:15 p.m. Ana and Kate open the bedroom door and walk out with 2 boxes of Rays things. "Christian, could you take these and put them in the storage unit? Ana ask's me. "Sure baby, I say as I grab the two boxes from Kate and her. I then get into Elliott's truck. Elliott's driving me to the storage unit and I'll put the two boxes in there. When we get back, Ana, my mom and dad, Mia and Ethan are packing everything up and dimantling her furniture to put into the U-Haul.(My baby is in a better mood) I catch her eyes and I smile at her. We finish putting bags, boxes and luggage in the SUV.(My girl doesn't have anything to donate or throw away) We load up everything and then we start cleaning. It's 11:18 p.m. When we get finished and the apartment is cleaned, it's 1 a.m. All of us are exhausted, dirty and sweaty. We all get back in our cars. My dad and Elliott, along with Ethan have already took the U-Haul and unloaded it and dropped it off. My mom followed, so she can bring everyone back. Mia and Ethan left and are going to go get ice-cream before he takes her home. Mom and dad leave. Elliott and Kate leave in his truck. Mr and Mrs K leave. Ana and I get into the SUV and I drive us home with a full car of Ana's things. She's holding the 1 box of Ray's things close to her. (I guess she couldn't part with just two things) I pull into Escala parking garage and I help Ana take her things upto our apartment. We leave them in the foyer and make several trips back to the car and upto our apartment. When the last load is brought up, it's about 2:28 a.m. Ana just unpacks the bathroom/bedroom stuff and then leaves the rest until tomorrow, or today rather. We both get into the shower and clean ourselves up. We change into sleep clothes, which is boxers for me and a camisole top and panties for her. We get into bed and fall immediately to sleep.
