Ana woke up first, and didn't know what to do. Usually in the morning's the first thing she would do is call Ray, see if he would need anything before her way to work. Her eyes then bolted out of her face, work! She didn't even think to call work after her night, she had to much on her mind. She unwrapped herself from Christian's arms and went directly into her closet to get ready for work.
She thought it would be a good distraction, so she entered her closet and pulled out the closest pair of pants and a button down shirt she could find. "Ana, where are you going? Come back to bed."
She turned around and stared at him, "Christian, I have work." She continued to get dressed. Christian rubbed his eyes and got out of the bed. He stood behind her and wrapped both of his arms around her waist, laying his head on her shoulder.
"Baby, I had Taylor call out for you yesterday. You can't go to work in the state you're in." She turned around to look at him.
She put one hand on her side and asked, "And what did Taylor say? That Miss Steele, has an issue and won't be in indefinitely?" Christian, shook his head but before he could answer Ana cut him off. "You can't keep controlling my life Christian, the last time I did this I bounced back. Who says I won't this time too?"
"The Last time?" He yelled, "How many times have you done this?"
"Look, I didn't mean it like that. I meant yesterday I bounced back by being better today." She said lying through her teeth. She could tell he knew she was lying too. "Please, I just need to work! I need a distraction from everything." He knew he shouldn't be allowing her to work but this was his kryptonite.
"Fine, but the minute you start feeling out of control please call me. I won't be far I actually have a few meetings in your building today." He said, starting to get dressed himself.
She turned around and started brushing her hair, "That's good maybe we can do lunch when jack lets me out." He nodded at her. She didn't want her to know that Jack was one of the reasons that he was meeting people. They have gotten quite a few complaints about him and the owners of SIP were thinking about asking Christian to take over as the new owner.
After having a quiet breakfast both Christian and Ana went into the car and Taylor drove them both to SIP. Before stepping into the building Christian kissed the top of her forehead, "Remember what I said, If you need me call me!" She nodded, and took his hands walking into the building. She got off on level 20 while he got off on level 22.
She walked directly to her office and sat down in her chair. There were already quite a few manuscripts on her desk for her to look over. She took in a deep breath and started to work, she read up to the first chapter of a manuscript until she read about a dad and a daughter's strong bond. She knew this was karma telling her she should have just stayed in bed.
She pulled up her knees to her chest and continued reading the story. Before realizing she has read the entire script there was a knock on her door. Before saying come in to whomever was behind it Jack stormed in. "Did you know your boyfriend has come to steal my job?"
She stood up and walked up to Jack, "First of all he's not my boyfriend, and second of all I had no idea. I'm sorry Jack maybe if I just talk to Christian."
"No, you've done enough! I bet he is only doing this for you, he's obsessed with you." He started walking closer and closer to Ana. "If you weren't so good at your job I would fire you right now."
"Step away from her Jack!" Both Ana and Jack turned around to see Taylor in her office.
Jack stepped back and walked right up to Taylor, "You better tell and his cupcake over here to watch their back." Jack walked out of the room and Ana watched in horror at the scene that followed. She looked up at Taylor, with tears in her eyes,
"Taylor, do not tell Christian about what just happened! He's only going to freak" Ana pleaded with Taylor. "Atleast let me tell him!" Taylor nodded and watched her as she walked out of the room. "I'm just going to the bathroom before doing so." She walked into the bathroom as she watched Taylor take his pose outside of the bathroom.
She stood in front of the mirror and started crying trying to catch her breath. She took out her car keys and raised her sleeve of her shirt up. She tried to tell herself to just go find Christian and talk it out but she couldn't. She needed to do this, so she made two cuts on her upper arm. She put toilet paper over the cuts so the blood wouldn't seep through. She wiped the tears away from her eyes and walked out of the room to find Christian.
Please Review, the next chapter should be up soon :)
