Christian's POV
We cross the street and enter this coffee shop. As soon as we entered the smell of sweet bread was very suiting and I can clearly see that she started to relax already.
'One English tea please.'
As soon as I placed our order, I sat at the table in front of her.
'You sure know how to pick nice friends.' Ooh boy, I sure wish that I did not say that.
'Excuse me? Aren't you the one with the secret room throwing this in my face? Don't let me start with you because as far as I am concerned Jeffrey did cross the line entirely and a simple slap in his face for sure would not be enough but this comment coming from YOU I WILL NOT TOLERATE!'
'Sorry Ana, I just did not know how to break the ice.' I try to negotiate because from her body language she was ready to get out of here.
'I will be better off alone, hope not to see you around any time soon.'
And with those words she stood up.
'Please Ana, just drink a tea with me and then you can leave. Please?' As I said that I noticed not even the tea has been served yet...just not lucky today.
'No Mr. Grey!'
I mean I know I said something mean and that she did not want to stay but I can notice she was getting worked up again. Then all of the sudden she hesitates and sits back and looks kind of sick.
'Christian, I am not feeling very well.'
'What? Why? What is the matter? You are looking kind of pale Ana.'
'I feel dizzy.' I grab my phone and immediately called Taylor.
'Taylor, take us to the hospital. NOW!'
And with those words, Ana was just completely knocked out. We arrived at the hospital and they immediately took Ana in thanks to my mom. I was really stressed out by that point and on top of it no one is giving me any information on what is going on.
What did just happen? Was she sick and did not take care of herself properly? Did she eat? If that's the reason she fainted I will spank her hard. No Christian. Not the proper thoughts right now.
Then suddenly, the doors fly open.
Where am I? Oh Gosh what did just happen? This light is too bright! Am I at a hospital? Ooh Gosh my stomach aches. I feel weak.
I hope somebody can dim these lights. Who is the lady standing at the foot of my bed?
'Excuse me, doctor?'
'Hallo there Ms. Steele. How are you feeling?'
'Well very weak, plus I have this massive headache and my stomach hurts. What did just happen doctor? Why am I here?'
'Let's start with a simple question. What do you remember?'
'Last thing I remember was that I was arguing with someone in a small coffee shop.' Maybe walking into Christian is bad for my health.
'Did you eat or drink something in the coffee shop?'
'No doctor, actually an order was placed but it never reached our table. But before the coffee shop I was dining in the restaurant across the street. Could you just please tell me why I am here doctor?' This is getting on my nerve, on top of feeling so sick I am being interrogated.
'I can answer that.' Was a response from a male standing unnoticed in the room. Who is this guy? For sure he was no doctor.
'Halo Ms. Steele, I am detective Brandon Richardson. The reason you are here is because of the drugs you used.'
'Excuse me? I took drugs? Let me tell you something sir, I have never used or abused drugs in my life!' Even drinking I don't do well, who does this guy thinks I am? An irresponsible brat?
'So you are sure you did not do this to yourself?'
'Of course I am sure. How did this happen? Who did this to me?'
'That is the reason I am here Ms. Steele, to question you with whom you have been with. With every case of drug abuse in any form the hospital contacts us.' I cannot believe this, drug in my system. I have been drugged. This is impossible. Ray will give me such a hard time as soon as he finds out.
Christian's POV:
Standing in the doorway was a bald man with file in his hand.
'Excuse me sir, are you friends with Ms. Anastasia Steele?'
'Yes.' I need to be here right now so I am willing to lie for that matters.
'Is there something wrong? Who are you?'
'My name is Bill Thomas, detective Bill Thomas and I am asking the questions around here young man.'
What? This guy has the nerve to...wait. What?
'Excuse me? Detective? Am I in some kind of trouble?'
'Should you be?' What kind of question is that? Doesn't he even recognize me? Maybe I should tell him before he makes a fool out of himself.
'Please sit down young man and tell me exactly what happened.'
'Well, I went to check on her in the restaurant. She was having dinner and then we left abruptly. We had an argument but went into the coffee shop to get some tea to bring down the stress. Whilst in the coffee shop she told me that she wasn't feeling very well and that she was going to faint.'
'What did she drink in the coffee shop?'
'Actually nothing, I just ordered an English tea but it never came to our table.'
'And in the restaurant young man, what did she ate or drink?'
'Well that I don't know, I was not there, she was with someone else.' This is getting on my last nerve.
'Why are you bombarding me with these questions detective?'
'Well I cannot answer that right now.' What in heavens name does that mean? He really does not know who I am.
'Do you actually know who I am detective? My name is Christian Grey. I am one of the most powerful and richest people in this state and if you do not answer my question I will make sure that tomorrow you will have a lot more to worry about which also includes YOUR FUCKING JOB.' I am beyond pissed right now but the expression on his face which of course is filled with fear is calming me down.
'Mr. Grey, sir, ehm, they found drug in her system sir and we are investigating since this is the 4th case this week sir.'
'Drugs?' Ana does not do drugs? What kind of drug?
'They found Rohypnol in her system, this is also called the rape drug sir.'
'So tell me Ms. Steele, who were you with in the restaurant?'
'I was with Jeffrey Jackson. But I cut the dinner short. He made a stupid remark and I could not sit nor stand to be in his presence anymore.'
'What remark Ms. Steele?'
'One that a gentleman would not ask a lady.' Christian answering a question while entering the room. Really Christian? And what would your proposal have been while showing me that secret room? It sure would not have been karaoke.
'And may I ask who you are?'
'Brandon, he is Christian Grey and he was the one who brought Ms. Steele here.'
'Gentlemen, if I may cut in. I believe Ms. Steele gave you the name of the person she was with. Isn't that enough? All this questioning is playing on her blood pressure and she needs her rest to regain her strength.'
'Yes, of course doctor. Just one last question. How do you know this gentleman?'
'He works for the IT department at the SIP. I work at the SIP, he has been asking me out since I moved here but further than that I don't know anything about him. Will you be questioning him as well?'
'Yes, we will most probably do that and thank you Ms. Steele. I will leave my number if there is anything else you might remember.'
And with that the detectives left the room.
'How are you feeling Ana?' Christian came sitting at the foot of my bed.
'Well actually awful. For sure I will never ever experience drugs in any kind. I don't know a lot what happens in that room of pain but I will take it any day than to have to experience this ever again.' Did I just say that? Ooh and why does he look at me like that?
'What room of pain dear?' Well I forgot that the good doctor is here.
'I was thinking about my bedroom doctor, I have a lot of boxes to unpack and it still does not look like a normal bedroom.' Take that Mr. Grey, I can be evasive.
'Well now that can wait until you recover completely.' Wait, I can't stay here.
'And how long will that take? I need to call my friend. Will I stay here tonight? She might still be waiting for me.'
'Christian, will you take care of that?' Why is this doctor familiarizing with Christian all of a sudden?
'Do you know each other?'
'Ana, this is my mother, Doctor Trevelyan-Grey. She is the reason you were immediately rushed in.'
'Doctor Trevelyan-Grey?'
'Please dear, call me Grace. And Christian, go check on her friend.'
'Elliott is already on it mom, her friend knows of the situation and is relieved that she is ok.'
'Is he now? So I guess you should leave as well so she can rest , I will come later to check on you dear.
Christian, I will see you in my office in 10 minutes.'
'Ok doctor.'
'Ok mom.' And with that, the doctor left the room.
I can see that Christian is really mad, but he cannot put the blame on me. The least I can do is thank him.
'Thank you Christian.'
'What for?'
'For bringing me here.'
'Did you expect me taking you anywhere else?'
'No, not at all. That is not what I meant with thanking you. What were you doing there by the way?'
'I was in the coffee shop and saw you walked in with Ms. Kavanagh. I decided I should enter and apologize for what happened last time I saw you but as soon as I got in I heard that stupid comment from that guy. Look, I know I messed up big time but at least I did not drugged you.'
He is right but still although I have these unknown "feelings" for him I cannot just sleep with him. Maybe I should tell him right away and if he decides to never see me again then we know what his intentions were, besides, we are two different worlds.
'Look Christian, the reason I left you apartment the other night was not just because I was afraid. Actually I was terrified.'
'Why would you be terrified?' Why should she be terrified, I introduced her to a whole new world, I know but it is not like she has never done it before.
'Christian, I have never done any of that before.'
'I will teach you everything till the point where you will beg me to do you in all the ways possible. Hell Ana you will scream my name everytime you cum and...'
'Christian, I have never had sex in my life, I am a virgin!,
