I have something to tell you, Christian

Approximately two hours later, Ana was in a very deep slumber. Christian quietly got up from his spot near the window and contemplated what to do. After a few moments, he decided to go near her. He knew he was taking a huge risk, and he knew how she was going to react if she woke up.
However, he was willing to take the risk. Why?
Because he wanted, and desperately needed to be near her─ as close as he could.
Afraid to even breathe, Christian took those steps towards her. She was lying on her back, the covers lying next to her instead of over her. With a smile on his face, he pulled the covers over her whole body, except her face.
She looked so peaceful when asleep…
A huge lump formed in his throat, as he lovingly looked at her gorgeous, shiny locks that were framing her beautiful face, and her lips were tempting as always. He couldn't believe that people were capable of hurting such a wonderful, amazing woman.
She had done nothing wrong, she just did her job! Why would they hurt her?!
As a tear escaped his eye, Christian thought back on that day.
He could've prevented it... Hannah was wrong! It is his fault!
What happened to Ana, shouldn't have happened at all… he should've helped her!
While Christian brushed a lock from her face, his feelings got the best of him. He knew that he shouldn't be doing what he was about to do, that it was a huge risk, but he couldn't help himself. Admiring her beauty, he caressed her face softly. His hand softly trailed her left cheek, gently feeling the warm, soft skin there. The moment his fingers went from his cheek and ended up on her plump lips, his body began to shudder slightly. The feel of her lips on his fingertips released all kinds of emotions within him.
Suddenly he had trouble breathing…
'I should've run faster... I should've protected her from harm.' He thought, as tears rolled down his cheeks.

… FLASHBACK …
.
.
Christian woke up, feeling like he was on cloud 9! His eyes fluttered open, and the first thing he noticed and felt was her…
As his eyes caught Ana's frame, his heart instantly swelled gloriously! Nothing in this world looked more beautiful than the sight before him right now.
Ana… his Ana.
She was lying next to him, her warm body deliciously wrapped around his own. Christian wanted to get up, ooh he did! But she felt so good against him, her body was so beautiful. He shifted, so he could spoon her, his nose landing in her hair at the back of her head. One of his arms was supporting her neck, the other wrapped loosely around her tiny waist, their legs intertwined together.
He wanted this wonderful feeling to last. He really did. And he wanted to stay with her like this forever.
Oh, what a feeling...
Ana was still asleep, but all of a sudden she placed a hand on top of his, squeezing him lightly.
Heat spread towards his cheeks, as he thought of what had happened the night before.
She was absolutely incredible… this woman.
Inside and out she was a beautiful person. He had been worshipping her body the whole night… and he so wanted to do that over and over again.
However, it was time for him to start a new day. He had to get ready for work. Fuck… should he just call in sick?
He was the boss after all?
As a sigh escaped his lips, Christian grabbed her hand and kissed it lovingly. It was such a relief to know that she loved and desired him as much as he did her... Never in a million years he would've thought that such a wonderful, feisty young woman would fall for him like this.
Christian reveled at the memory of touching her gently, handling her as if she were made of something pretty incredible. Something he never wanted to break.
He then moved a bit, so his nose was nuzzling her neck. While stretching against her, he pulled Ana even closer towards him, enjoying the feel of her warm body against his own…
After a few moments though, Christian felt Ana move and heard her sighing deeply.
She was awake… His angel was finally awake!
With a smile on his face, he gripped her even tighter and then lovingly moved her hair out of the way. While placing feather light kisses on the back of her neck, he paused to whisper to her. " Good morning, sweetie."
And after, he went further with his 'activities'.
She giggled and whispered. "Good morning, Christian..."
He so wanted to worship her body right now. However, they both had to go to work.
"Do you want me to let you go?" he breathed into her ear, his hot breath fanning over the sensitive spot there.
"No, no." Ana admitted." I want to stay with you like this forever."
That answer made him happy, so he went on caressing and kissing her soft skin further. But then she groaned aloud.
"What is it, sweetie?" Christian asked.
Ana shifted a bit and turned around to face him. "I don't… I really don't want to leave this bed…" she began.
"But you really have to go, right?" he finished the sentence for her.
Ana sat up, and grabbed his face with both hands. She looked him deep in the eyes, and said. "I will see you tonight, okay?"
He smiled and nodded."Uhum, of course… I can't wait." He responded.
Then Ana closed the little gap between them and kissed him softly on the lips." Love you." She confessed, and got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Christian also got up and decided to get her stuff ready. He didn't know much about women's clothing, so he decided to leave that for her. In these past months that they have been seeing each other, she had moved some of her clothes and stuff into his house.
As his eyes landed on her gun that was lying on the floor, the corners of his mouth curled upwards into a smirk. He couldn't help but think back on the wild night they both had shared…
He grabbed the gun, and carefully placed it on the table for her. Yup, safety of the gun was on.
Christian found her badge under the bed and wondered how the hell it ended up there. He picked it up and placed it on the table too.
'I guess we were so wrapped up around each other that we didn't care where our clothes and other stuff ended up.' He thought, while smirking deviously.
Ana's clothes were scattered on the floor, and so were his. After he picked up her hair pin, Christian decided to take a shower too.
"What a start to my day." Were the words that tumbled from his lips, while stepping into the large bathroom.

After Ana had taken a shower and got dressed, she took a bite of her croissant and drank her coffee. After his shower, Christian had asked Gail to bring them breakfast.
"Okay, Christian… I'll see you tonight." She said and gave him a peck on the lips.
However, he wasn't satisfied with it and grabbed her face.
"What is it?" she asked, while looking at him.
"I just wanna do this." He replied, and captured her lips with his own.
Christian kissed her so passionately and deeply, making her knees turn into jelly.
Ana moaned into his mouth and molded her body onto his.
At one point they had to breathe, so he reluctantly broke the kiss. Ana's chest was heaving, her face flushed, and her hair pin was hanging loosely from her hair.
"You bad boy." She accused, and hit him playfully on his chest.
He winked at her, and kissed the tip of her nose." See you tonight, Ana… love you."
"See you tonight."

… Hours later …
.
.

It was around 7 in the evening, when Christian left his building and stepped into the limo. Ana had called him earlier at work and told him that she had to tell him something very important.
"Let's meet at our favorite diner." She had said through the phone.
Christian smiled and had asked why.
"It's a surprise… come on. Just do it." Ana insisted." I have something amazing to tell you, Christian."
And so, he agreed. He then told Taylor to give him some privacy. His security detail wasn't happy about it, but he had no choice and did what Christian asked of him.
"I'll be right outside, Mr. Grey." He told him." I won't be far. If you need me, just call."
When they arrived at their destination, Christian straightened his suit jacket and stepped out of the limo.
As he walked towards the diner, he saw Ana across the street. She waved at him, and he noticed just then that she looked a bit different… Ana was absolutely glowing! While in awe by her appearance, Christian walked further, wanting to close the gap between them and kiss her senselessly.
They were both smiling, and God he was so happy!
Ana was just about to cross the street, when all of a sudden he heard a screeching of tires! It went by so fast! Right before his very eyes, Christian noticed three men jumping out of a van! They were wearing ski masks, and one of them pointed a gun at Ana!
They grabbed her, but she put up a fight.
"Fucking assholes! Let me go!" he heard her say.
Without hesitation, Christian ran and crossed the street without thinking of his own safety! He almost got hit by a car, but he pushed forward. Ana was being dragged into the blue van by those men, and just as he was about to reach them, they drove away with screeching tires, leaving Christian devastated behind.
"Sir! Mr. Grey!" he heard Taylor shout.
Christian looked at his bodyguard and said." Follow them!"
He jumped inside the limo, and as Taylor stepped onto the gas, Christian immediately called Sawyer.
"I need your help, now… Ana has been kidnapped."
After hanging up the phone, Christian felt as if his whole world was crumbling around him…
"We will find her, Sir… we will!" Taylor told him.
However, Christian didn't hear those words. Instead, he said. " I should've stopped them, I… I should've protected her, but… but I failed… it's my fault they took her…"

… End of FLASHBACK …
.

Christian was suddenly taken out of his thoughts by Ana. She still had her eyes closed, she was still asleep. However, she was crying and screaming in her sleep!
"No! No! Don't come near me! Don't touch me!" she cried hysterically.
His heart ached for her… it hurt so much to see her like this. That's the reason why she doesn't want to sleep…she does get nightmares.
With a huge lump in his throat, Christian walked back to his former spot near the window.
From there, he said softly. "Ana, wake up. Wake up, please. Wake up, my love…"
He wanted, he desperately wanted to hold her in his arms. But he was afraid that touching Ana would only make the situation worse for her… So, from his spot he kept asking her to wake up.
At one point, she finally did. Ana woke up with a start in a sitting position, and gasped aloud. Tears were spilling from her beautiful, blue eyes and she instantly locked her eyes onto his.
As their eyes met, Christian's heart sank inside his chest…
He so wished that she would allow him to get close to her.
Ana's whole body trembled, her chest heaving. She slowly reached out to him, and said." Christian, I... uhmm… I nee… need you..."
Not so long ago, he had been so afraid to get even close to her. However, when she said those words, all his fears evaporated into thin air. Christian closed the gap between them and held her tightly. Ana felt so safe at the moment and let it all out.
After a long while, her sobs subsided and eventually came to a stop. Ana looked up, but still held onto him tightly.
"Christian... I don't want to sleep alone." She said, while looking him with pleading eyes.
He smiled and wiped her tears away." I'm here, Ana... Don't you worry about a thing."
Relieved, Ana placed her face in the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent. God! She missed him oh so much.
Ana loved the smell of his aftershave... she just loved this man so much.
All of a sudden a flash went through her head. When those awful men were torturing her, she barely held on. It would've been so easy to give up...
And she almost did! Ana almost gave in and almost had given those thugs the information that they wanted to extract from her.
However, Ana kept holding on... She held on for Christian... she held on for herself, because she had to.
She had to survive... She just had to.
Note: Thank you for reading and reviewing. :)
So, what did Ana wanted to tell him, before those men took her?
