Ana stood staring at the dresses on the bed, she couldn't decide on a black flowery knee length dress or a floor length midnight blue strapless. She had her hair and make-up done but just couldn't decide which dress and Claire would be here any minute! Deciding that the blue dress was best for a function she put it on, added a bracelet and a pair of diamond drop earrings and left her bedroom. Just as Ana putting her things into her purse the doorbell rang.

Ana looked at the clock, right on time Ana thought as she crossed the room to open the door. As Ana pulled the door open she felt all the air escape her lungs. In front of her stood an exceptionally dressed man in a black suit and white shirt, as her eyes swept up his body she saw the tie she'd become to love. As Ana finally looked up her eyes locked with his.

"Christian.." Ana's voice came out as a whisper but she knew Christian had heard it.

"Hello Ana, I've come to take you to the charity function"

Ana couldn't believe her ears, "you're going?"

Christian let out a little laugh "Of course I am silly, So will you join me?"

Ana suddenly remembered the last week and all that had happened.. and that Claire would be picking her up any minute. "No I can't I promised Claire I'd go with her"

Christian walked past Ana into the room, "Tell her your coming with me, she wouldn't mind"

Ana couldn't look at him, every time she did she saw him with Elena and it was breaking her more by the second, "No Christian, I don't want to.. I .. I can't" she walked past him grabbed her bag and left her apartment altogether. After a moment she heard his footsteps following her to the elevator.

As she reached to press the call button Christian did it for her and grabbed her hand before it fell back to her side. "Ana please, just one chance, that's all I'm asking. I just want one chance with you to make it right again"

Ana pulled her hand away and stepped into the awaiting elevator "I can't Christian, not knowing you've .. been with her" Ana looked down trying to hide the tears welling in her eyes. Christian fell silent and Ana had to look up to make sure he was still there. He was of course and staring right at her with a hurt, disappointed expression.

The elevator opened and Ana had to get away from him, it was hurting her too much, but as she stepped out she walked right into Claire. "Oh Claire, Geez I'm sorry "

"Don't worry Ana, You ready?"

Ana turned and looked at Christian "Yeah.. lets go"

And with Claire at her side she left Christian stood in her apartment building and got into Claire's car.

Now she just had to get through the function…
