Christian POV
I watched Ana take off with Max and went to find my parents to tell them I was heading upstairs and would see them in the morning.
"Christian! " I heard my brother Elliot call after me, so much for escaping.
"Hey. So nice of you to stop by."
"Oh don't worry Christian I'm not here for you. Have you seen Katherine? " Elliot was scanning the yard.
"Who?"
"Katherine, you know Kate tall blonde,hot, legs for days, Ana's BFF"
"Elliot…" I warned "NO. Kate is 22, absolutely not, her father would shoot you." I couldn't believe my brother's audacity... actually I could. I'd warn Kate but out of all the women I've seen my brother with I'm 99% sure she'd give him a run for his money.
"What? I told her I would stop by for drinks, I ran into her remodeling Ana's apartment building few weeks and now Ana wants me to do some work in the bakery."
"Oh, I thought you were trying to get in her pants" I apologized to Elliot.
"Oh trust me baby brother I am but that's another day, Hey still need a job? I could use your help with the bakery before you venture off with GEH"
"I'll think about it, I've already found a building and started with the business licenses, I'm not sure what kind of time I will have right now."
"Nice, well you let me know. There's Kate see ya." With that Elliot disappeared with Kate. I said goodnight to the Steele's and my parents and headed to my old room.
Another hour or so passed and the lights were finally off between the two yards. Looking out the window i could see a light on in the Steele's house. Not until this moment have I noticed it is Anastasia's old bedroom, no one was in the room. Just as I was turning around, Ana came into view her hair was pulled high on her head, she had her glasses on and was still in her dress. I shouldn't be looking, but I couldn't help, myself the girl intrigued me. The next thing I know she's unzipping her dress right in my sight and i can see the black lace bra and panties she has on. I am immediately hard from the vision in front of me I don't think I ever had that reaction from Bridgette . I also noticed some sort of tattoo on her side and lower hip. my mouth was dry and before i knew it she turned and caught me looking at her. I immediately dropped to the floor like a horny teenage boy being caught. Smooth Grey I realized my window was open and couldn't hide forever on the floor, the next thing I heard was Ana's voice.
"Goodnight Christian" She called from her window. I lifted myself off the floor to face the music. Now Ana was dressed ana and leaning out her window
"Goodnight Ana. Sorry I never realized your room was across the yard from mine." I really didn't pay any attention to her as a teenager and felt like an ass.
"Its not…. it's the guest room, my room is now a sewing room."
"Oh well did you have a good time this evening?" I called out.
"Actually yes, I sure did. How about you?"
"Eh, would have been better if this brunette didn't leave me on the dance floor" Ana laughed.
"Right... well it's late. It was nice seeing you today, goodnight Christian"
"Sweet dreams Anastasia" With that she closed the window and turned off the light.
I'm pretty sure I got zero sleep last night with the images of Ana in a scantily clad bra and panties burning in my head. I managed to roll out of bed around nine and could hear my mom laughing down stairs, maybe Elliot stayed over I grabbed a shirt and headed down.
Elliott, Kate, Ana and my parents were all sitting at the breakfast nook.
"Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence" Elliot goaded and everyone laughed
"Elliot, be nice" my mother warned. "Ana brought over muffins this morning Christian, sit down and have one" mom tapped the chair next to her.
"Thank you" I slumped down to avoid eye contact with the blue eyes across the table that were searching my face. I knew damn well I was being watched by all.
"Well don't just sit eat, the muffins are delicious! Ana you didn't have to bake a thing" My father opened his mouth from the other end of the table.
"Well Grace mentioned it, I was up early so I figured why not? Think of it as a thank you for seeing my parents off to the airport, I was in no shape to drive."
"No you were too busy flirting with Max" Kate chided.
"Shut it Kate " Ana scolded everyone laughed. I sat and wondered what exactly in the world I've missed in the past five years.
"This is delicious, thank you for breakfast." I told Ana hoping to change the Max subject .
"You're welcome" Ana blushed and picked up her coffee mug.
"Christian, have you decided if you are going to help me with the bakery project?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah, I can help out. When you starting over there?" I looked at Ana and smiled and she choked back a shocked expression with coffee still in her mouth "You Ok?"
"Yes" She stumbled out "wrong pipe, you're helping with the remodel?"
"Yeah, why not I can spend all my free time at home, I have some of my own work to do but I know Elliot could use the help and it would be nice to catch up" I winked.
"Hey Kate, do you want to come with me back home. I need to pick up some jeans and a jacket, Max is picking me up from here later this afternoon."
Elliot nudged me in the ribs. "Ouch bro! You're going to have to work harder than that, if you need pointers let me know" He whispered
Yep, Anastasia Steele was really making me work for it. Something I have never had to do in my life, and for the first time in forever, as frustrating as it is I was enjoying every minute of it.
