I thanked Christian for showing his plane to me before heading back to dispatch. The infamous Christian has just asked me out. I was surprised, shocked and excited all at the same time. He mentioned that he would meet me at my house at 6 pm. We exchanged info quickly so that i could get back to the desk. I couldn't wait, my day couldn't go by fast enough. He was the kind of man that random people created rumors about, i wanted to know if there were any truth to them or not. Christian wasn't the kind of guy that i usually go for. We seemed world's apart. I was the girl-next-door and he was a rich, business man. The dinner should be interesting, none the less. I spent the rest of my shift trying to push thoughts of Christian out of my mind so that i could focus on my work, which proved to be very difficult. I was nervous for my date with Christian. I didn't want to be so riddled with stress that i completely made an ass of myself, that was a distinct possibility.

I finished up my work at the flying club around 4 pm, keeping my date with the infamous Christian Grey to myself. I didn't want anyone asking questions. After all i barely knew the guy myself. Most of flight instructors knew more about him than i did. I didn't want them trying to talk me out of going out with him. I got home at 430 pm, but I didn't start getting ready till 5 pm. i planned to dress up but not be over-the-top. I dressed in a short, solid blue dress. I didn't wear much make up and i wanted to look as natural as possible. I stuck to a red lipstick. My skin was clear, so i felt that no foundation was needed. I felt satisfied with what i looked like as i stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Christian didn't mention where were going, i hoped i was dressed appropriately.

HONK! HONK!

A black Mercedes pulled up at 545 pm, must be Christian. I put on a pair of cute sandals and walked out to his car. As soon as i started walking out to the car the driver's side door opened and Christian stood up wearing a suit. I stopped in my tracks, was i under dressed?

"is something wrong, Ana?" Christian asked sweetly.

"Am I under dressed?" I asked "I can change. I didn't expect you to be wearing a suit"

"I like wearing a suit. I feel comfortable in a suit, i wear them everyday. You are dressed beautifully, you don't have to worry" Christian explained.

"OK" I said with a nervous laugh

"Let me get that" He said opening the door to the passenger's seat.

"Thank you, Christian" I answered getting inside the Mercedes.

The car was completely black on the inside, with a leather interior. I felt like i was in the Bat-mobile. Christian joined me in the car. His facial features seemed so much softer than they had been when i met him at the flying club. He felt more down-to-earth and comfortable, despite wearing a suit and driving a Mercedes. I could not help looking shocked and curious as i looked around.

"You look shocked" He said "Were you expecting something else?"

"I don't know what i was expecting?" I stammered.

"It's a nice car and i wanted you to be comfortable" Christian said smiling

"I would be comfortable in anything. Have you sen the old beater that i drive?" I laughed

"Today you get to ride in style then" Christian answered

"Are you Hungry?" Christian asked

"Yes! Very!" I said smiling.

"Let's go then. I have a great restaurant in mind" Christian answered revving the engine.

Christian drove smoothly down the street. He was calm and controlled even behind the wheel. The car seemed so uncomfortably silent without a radio playing in the background. I wasn't sure if he didn't like any distractions while he was driving or if he wanted to make sure that he could have a conversation with me in the car.

"Do you usually have the radio on in the car or do you prefer it to be quiet?" I asked with stark curiosity.

"Are you asking me if you can turn the radio on?" He inquired keeping his eye on the road.

"It's your car Christian. Most people listen to the radio while they are driving. I don't mind either way" I replied.

"You can turn the radio on if you like. I turned off just before i arrived at your house" Christian said

"Why?" I asked

"I don't want anything distracting me from you" Christian explained.

"Oh!" I exclaimed pulling my hand back from the radio "That makes sense, sorry!"

"we are almost there anyway Ana" Christian explained "Enjoy the ride"

"OK!" I answered placing my hands on my lap.

Christian pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant called "The Charter". The building had a large elegant exterior. The restaurant looked fancy. The entrance was brightly lit with large double door. Christian opened the door to my side of the car.

"Come on! Our reservation is for 630 pm. We have to hurry" Christian said pulling me to standing.

"OK" I answered.

I wrapped my arm around his as we walked in through the double doors of the restaurant. The restaurant looked like one big room. The ceiling was high. Every wall was painted a light maroon color, the floor added a lighter touch with shiny, light beige ceramic tiles. The restaurant was dimly lit, most of the light came from the candles that were in the center of each table. There were no booths, just tables. Each table was draped with solid white tablecloths. The napkins were cloth and folded into swans and placed on top of each place setting.

The hostess guided Christian and I to a table for two in the center of the restaurant. She was tall with a black, form-fitted skirt on and black heels. She had her blonde straight hair tied back into a tight ponytail. She seated us and then took our drink orders before scurrying away to the kitchen.

I sat down across from Christian, trying to look him in the eyes. I wanted to figure him out, understand him, he fascinated me. I knew that we were both nervous, first dates tended to be more like interviews than dates. Usually, it take a few dates before both parties start to let their guard down. I had a feeling that for Christian it might take longer.

"Tell me a bit about yourself, Anastasia" Christian started.

"Anything specific?" I asked feeling put on the spot.

"What gave you your passion to fly? It's rare to see a woman so passionate about aviation" Christian specified

"Oh! I fell in love with aviation after i took my first discovery flight. I didn't have a passport so i couldn't fly anywhere commercially. So, i decided to go down to the local flying club for a discovery flight. The whole experience felt so magical and surreal. I knew at that moment that flying was what i wanted to do for the rest of my life" I answered.

"How did you know that they did discovery flight?" Christian asked taking a sip of water.

"My dad took some flying lessons when i was little but didn't finish his license. I was mildly familiar with the process. My parents still think that i should go to university though" I explained.

"Pilot is a good career, i am surprised that they would not support it" Christian asked surprised.

"They do support me in their own way. They think that i wont finish, or that i will just work in dispatch forever. I might go to university one day, after i'm done pilot's training" I said "i think that my parents wanted me to follow the conventional route and i'm not. They are entitled to their opinion i suppose"

"They are" Christian agreed "I think that it's important to follow your heart. You are taking the road less travelled and that's admirable. I started my own business 5 years ago and there were many people that thought i was going to fail. My parent's thought that it would be a great 'learning experience' for me. I proved them wrong. Ana, anything is possible"

"Thank you Christian" i gushed "I totally agree. I don't know much about Grey Enterprises. What do you do?"

"Grey Enterprises is an investment firm. We are a full service brokerage and investment firm. I help people manage their money more effectively. My parents were well off but not rich. They paid for me to get a degree in economics, currently i'm working on my master's. Learning is lifelong" Christian explained

"Wow! You have accomplished so much for someone that is so young" I exclaimed.

"Why waste time" Christian commented.

"I totally agree" I answered

Christian and I ordered our meals, which came quickly. The presentation looked like something out of a Food channel episode.

"OMG! Christian" I exclaimed " This is the best food i have ever tasted in my life"

"You don't go to many high end restaurant's do you?" Christian laughed

"No. I'm a starving pilot remember" I said smiling.

"I have something that i want to ask you" Christian said drawing a long breath

"What is it?" I asked looking up from my meal.

"I need a pilot to take me to a private business meeting in Las Vegas in three weeks, would you be finished your license by then?" Christian asked

"I'm pretty close. I have 15 hours them my exam, it's definitely very doable" I answered smiling.

"Fantastic!" Christian answered " Email me when you are finished the exam and i will give you all the info"

"Thank you so much, Christian" I cried "Why me?"

"What do you mean?" Christian asked confused.

"There are many more experienced pilot's around, even at the flying club. Why me?" I asked trying not to sound ungrateful

"You are knowledgeable, passionate and caring. These are all qualities of not only a great person but a great pilot. Most of the other pilot's in the flying club do not have a good opinion of me. They see some pompous rich guy with a private plane" Christian explained" My relationship with Jillian seemed to just seal my fate as an asshole"

"Jillian? You dated someone at the club?" I asked trying to look surprised.

"I would have thought the staff would have urged you not to go out with me because of that" Christian answered.

"They mentioned it but gave no details" I admitted

"Well Jillian and I date only a handful of times but she was not the kind of girl i was looking for. I didn't feel a connect to her. I'm not the kind of person to stay in a relationship with someone i'm not interested in. I broke up with her after a dinner date. I found her to be too high maintenance amongst other things. She also hinted at me to pay for some of her flight hours" Christian said.

"I see. I don't know if this is too personal and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to" I said "Did you sleep with her?"

"Yes. We were quite attracted to each other" Christian answered honestly.

"Oh I see" I said through a tight smile.

Christian handed me his business card. I took it and placed it in my purse. Christian flagged the waitress down to pay for the meal. He offered his hand tome as we walked out of the restaurant to his black Mercedes. He felt so warm and soft. I could have held his hand forever and been content. He opened the passenger side door for me again, he never seemed to miss a beat with his chivalry. He drove me home and we laughed and talked in the car like close friends. For the first time that night we were completely comfortable with each other.

Christian

Why did this woman make me so nervous? I knew that i didn't have the best reputation in the flying club. What was everyone telling her about me? I wanted Ana to like me. She was a stunning, passionate, sweet girl. There just weren't that many people like that around these days. i felt my body drawn to her. I could not wait for our date. Would we be a match? Would she like me? or would she be my soul mate.

Please Impress me Ana

I didn't think that i could find Ana more beautiful, until i saw her walking out of her house towards my car for our date. My nervousness turned to excitement as i opened the door to the passenger's seat for her. She deserved a gentleman, today i as that gentleman. I felt privileged to have her by my side. I could tell by our brief conversations that she as beautiful inside as she was on the outside. I wanted her to like me for who i was. i wanted her to ignore all the gossip that she has heard about me at the flying club and focus on my true self.

We both seemed to get lost into each other as soon as we started talking to each other. I felt as though i had known her my whole life. I felt strongly attracted to her body and personality. Our date went by too fast. I wanted to spend all night long with her but i knew that we both had responsibilities in the morning. One of the big reason's i had asked her out was to speak to her about a possible pilot job with Grey Enterprises.

I knew that i needed a pilot for personal trips. Sometimes i needed to get to a business meeting on short notice. For the same reason's that i have a personal driver i wanted someone to pilot the plane while i worked in the back, or relaxed. Ana seemed like a perfect fit. She was passion, meticulous, intelligent and cute. As soon as i met her working at dispatch.

I was over the top with joy when she accepted my offer.
