Chapter 2

There is a lot of traffic today, more than usual and we are stuck at the light while it changes twice and I'm getting very fucking annoyed my tolerance is always low when I have blue balls, damn I need to get laid. I glance out the window watching people shuffle through the rain in a sea of black umbrellas and turn my attention to a woman across the across the street and gasp, oh holy fuck! There she is, it's her, its Anastasia Steele. What the fuck is she still doing here? She said she had to return to Vancouver and get to her job on time. I hope there is nothing wrong, or perhaps she lied to get out of my office so quickly.

"Taylor, make a U-turn when you can and pick me up across the street. I see somebody I know"

"Of course Sir" he mutters.

I grab my umbrella from the back seat and cross the street towards Miss Steele. She is standing under an awning by a doorway to a pizzeria half drenched and shivering.

"Miss Steele" I call and she looks up with a slight shock on her face. Then smiles softly and says "Mr. Grey"

"Is everything okay Miss Steele, why are you standing in the rain? I thought you were heading back to Vancouver." I ask curiously, I'm just glad to see her she really is beautiful.

"I was on my way but my car won't start, I've been waiting like three hours for a tow truck and I missed my shift at work" she says quietly

.

" I'm so sorry Miss Steele maybe I can help you, where is your car?" and she points to an ancient looking light blue VW beetle that looks like it could be Herbie the luv bugs great grandfather. She drove that piece of shit 165 miles here, it's a wonder she made it here at all.

"That's what you drove here in?" I say irritated. That car looks like a death trap. I'm just glad it broke down here and not on the fucking interstate.

"Yes, that's what I drove here in." she says back and gives me a pouty look crossing her arms. Oh fuck she's sexy.

"What were you expecting a Rolls Royce?" she snaps and I can't help but smirk at her. She has a little smart mouth on her, god that turns me on so fucking much.

"So feisty Miss Steele sorry, I didn't mean to offend you" I shrug and she grins as Taylor pulls up to the curb

.

"Miss Steele, please allow me to help you, my driver is here come get in the car out of the rain" I offer and she nods.

"Sure, thank you Mr. Grey" she smiles and I nod.

"Where are you having your car towed too?" I ask

" I'm not sure sir I'm not familiar with the area, I guess to a gas station, or somewhere I can leave it overnight until my stepdad can get up here to fix it. I can take a bus back to Vancouver tonight if the tow truck ever shows up" she mutters. Oh hell fucking no I can't let her take a fucking bus back its dangerous. I will drive her myself and get her a better car. That is a piece of shit she's driving.

"No please don't do that Miss Steele. I feel responsible being that you drove all the way here to interview me. Let me take care of your car and put you up in a hotel for the evening. I can drive you back to Vancouver tomorrow I was heading there anyway for some business" I lie; I don't have to be there until next Thursday when I give out diplomas at her WSUV graduation ceremony. I can stay at the Heathman, I'll have Taylor book me the best suite and I can go and check in on the farming division I'm funding at WSU.

"Oh no I couldn't ask you to do that sir I don't mind the bus" she says awkwardly looking at her hands. Damn she's really cute and so shy except for when she gets a little smart mouth.

"I insist Miss Steele, case closed. It's getting late you are wet from the rain, you'll get sick. You should dry off and have some dinner and I will arrange for your car to be repaired and taken back to you in Vancouver. Give me your car keys" I say in a arduous tone and she blinks rapidly at my demand and swallows hard and hands me the keys.

I hand them over to Taylor and he nods. I would like to get to know her better being that for the last 3 hours I haven't been able to focus without replaying the interview in my head on fucking repeat. I can't even believe this is happening. What are the odds? I intend to make the most of this evening. I like her very much and need to get to know her better.

"Taylor take care of the situation please"I snap

"Sir" he replies and he makes a call to someone saying where the car is and where to bring it and hangs up.

" , ma'am the vehicle will be retried within 30 minutes, I'll put some change in the meter so the car doesn't get ticketed"

"Um I already put enough change in it until 7pm sir" she mutters to Taylor

"Very good ma'am that should do just fine, I will update you when the car is retrieved then"

"Oh. Err … Thank you so very much, this is so kind of both of you to do" she says graciously

"and Yes a ride home tomorrow would be nice only if you are going that way. I don't know any hotels here in Seattle. I've only visited a few times growing up" She smiles innocently.

"I have a bag in my car with some clothes, I'll just get them" and she walks over to that death box and pulls out a small tote bag.

"Why do you have a change of clothes with you Miss Steele?" I ask.

"Well I was supposed to work from five until eight o clock this evening. I work in a hardware store in Portland so I was going to change into jeans and sneakers when I arrived at work" she says sincerely and well I believe her. She has the most guileless eyes.
