A/N Thank you for the support as I said this is my first time writing and I'm grateful for all the comments just to say for all those who asked , no Christian did not have sexual relations with the new sub. I will try to update as often as I can
I knock gently on the door and wait patiently; there's movement in the apartment so I know she is in and probably not alone. She opens the door cautiously my heart skips a beat the moment my eyes meet hers. She is not expecting me so I will have to take whatever reception will be on offer.
She opens her mouth and says nothing for a few seconds.
" Christian," she says my name like a whisper as she eyes me from head to toe.
" Hi Anastasia"
" What can I do for you?"
" Would it be okay for me to come in?" I try a smile but get nothing in return.
" Sure, " she says as she finally opens the door wide enough for me to see Mr Jose sat by the kitchen counter, maybe I should just go and forget it. This is insanity very Un-Grey of me.
"Jose was just leaving," and it seems Jose understands he has received his marching orders and it's my turn
"Grey" he nods to me and I nod back, a punch on that jaw is the perfect greeting I'd like to deliver to that bastard.
" Please take a seat while I see Jose out," for a moment I feel like a client, here to get what ever is leftover from Jose's session. I quickly dismiss the thought, as it will not do me any favours at this moment in time.
Once the door is closed we are alone yet again, this time I'm on her turf and for all I know she might give me something to sign before we continue.
She is wearing denim shorts that expose a decent portion of her thighs and my eyes are fixed on those slender legs leisurely walk towards me. I could bend her over that kitchen counter and take her from behind. She is so casual, its as though she has been expecting me.
" Can I get you a drink at all? Unfortunately all I have is tea and instant coffee on offer. As you know we've just moved in. Elliot was very helpful and Jose has done a fine job in helping us erect some the furniture."
She wants to solicit a reaction from me, so I choose to ignore her last statement. I don't do tea and I loathe instant coffee but this is not the time to be pretentious.
"I'll have tea please black, bag out, English breakfast if you have it." At last I get a hint of a smile from her, I watch as she prepares the tea and she doesn't say much.
" So what do I owe the pleasure of this visit Mr... urm Christian," she hands my tea and sits on the chair opposite me, legs crossed.
Well I'm here to be freed from your spell
" I'm ... I was just in the neighbourhood,."
She frowns at me.
"Okay I came to see you." I can't believe I've been reduced to acting like a love struck teen and she maintains her cool it's as though there exists an invisible barrier between us which only she is aware of hence she is able to do whatever she wishes on her side. She can heckle me; stick her tongue out etc.
"Oookay" she says dragging the word.
" I guess I'm just surprised to see you as according to your rules and regulations the day I left your apartment meant the end of any contact between us." She looks at me as she awaits a response. I shift in my seat as I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.
" Can we forget the rules for just a moment ... Please?"
" No not really." she butts in with a bit of venom in her tone " this is where I'm having trouble in understanding you Christian. It's essentially all about you. You want to apply rules only when it suits you and when the same rules work against you conveniently forget their existence."
She is good, in fact too good to be true. It's as though she attended the 'don't take any bullshit from Grey training ' and is applying everything she learnt with precision.
The rules, well what can I say, I'm a bastard Anastasia and the sooner you free me from your spell the sooner I can get back to my shitty life. Right now you're the one with the upper hand and are enjoying every second of it.
" Anastasia I'm an ass okay I admit, but the truth is I'm struggling to stay away from you. Like today for some obnoxious reason I thought you'd tag along with Kate but you didn't and here I am following you like a puppy dog," There I said it, if she wants she can claim the victory flag and release me. I'm taking deep breaths so I can maintain my cool.
She eyes me through those thick lashes and rolls her eyes as if to say 'get over yourself'
" So where does this leave us now then Mr Grey...Sir?"
" Please stop with the Mr Grey business, have a little bit of mercy on me, I've already confessed to being an ass." She looks at me and smiles.
" Your confession has been heard even in the high heavens and I'm sure it was certainly more audible in the realms of hell but you still haven't answered my question, where does this leave us,..Christian?" There she goes again barely whispering my name. Okay where do I go with this? I still want to fuck you senseless, get you out of my system and move on!
" Would you maybe consider going out with me on a date, for dinner or whatever activity is to your liking?"
She lets out a laugh and I can't help but smile she obviously is now well aware of the activities that are to 'My liking.' She shakes her head before she saying
" Okay, when were you thinking of?" is she actually handing me a lifeline? Its hard to believe.
" Any day ... Tomorrow if you're free of course."
She sits there pondering and then looks up to me
" Tomorrow I'm washing my hair, I'm free all day on Monday but I guess you'll be busy with your mergers and acquisitions then so shall we think maybe next weekend?" This is the point when the audience stands up and applauds her and she accepts the 'Best Actress Award' What happened to the girl who blushed at the sight of me? Now I'm confused, as frankly I don't know who the real Anastasia is.
" Actually I'm free on Monday" and that catches her attention if its games you want then games we'll play. I am cancelling all my engagements and I don't give a fuck who they are with!
" That settles it, I will let you know what time you can pick me up," and I take it as a cue to say ' your time is up Grey' I wouldn't be surprised if she has her next client waiting
As I pull out my Audi R8 I notice a car slowing down as if to park, I honestly cannot believe it, is this really her next customer? I do a 180 turn so that I can investigate and as I drive back past the apartment I realise that it's non other than Ball Crusher Kate kissing the life out of my poor brother Elliot.
I'm driving away thinking it lucky that they arrived as I was leaving as I can imagine the smug look on Kate's face if she saw me on my hands and knees eating out Ana's palms.
Then it fucking hits me! When the thought first occurred to me I dismissed it immediately as the only person I suspected was Eleanor and she knows well enough not to even dare. This has all been a set up and the douche bag in charge of it all is Elliot Grey, my own brother!.
