Advertising Guru

"Long story, I have to tell Christian." I say but when I try and pass her she grabs my arm.

"Ana, who is it?" She asks me tersely. So I tell it to her straight.

"Moms third husband…he used to molest me…and now he's come after me!" I say frowning at her.

"Damn Ana what is it with you and stalkers?" She asks and hugs me asking if I'm okay. I nod then continue towards Christian…I estimate it's been 3 minutes since I saw him on live television.

"Christian," I say and enter his office. He glances up at me looking angry as he's discussing something with Elliot. "It's Stephan he's on the news!" I urge and he jumps up and follows me. When he's finally seen it I hit play then go to web access and we watch a live feed of the event. Currently, he is still standing there. I glance to Christian and he is on the phone immediately. Kate hugs me closely and I smile at her.

"They'll get him," She says to me.

"I know" I say hugging her back.

"So, what brings you two out this late?" I ask quickly and she frowns.

"I don't know Elliot just up and said he needed to see Christian after he got a phone call." She says looking up as he walks into the room. He comes to us and she hugs him to her side.

"Sorry, for interrupting you guys." I smile at him as he pecks me on the cheek.

"Nah its cool trust me yours is much more important that mine." He laughs quietly. I glance to Christian and he is looking at the screen watching. I watch to and suddenly I watch as two of Taylor's spares maneuver through the crowd. Until they're just behind him…Christian mutters something into the phone and suddenly they grab him. People scream as he begins to fight them. I watch as Stephen's hulking figure is pulled down and relief floods me…I think they've got him. Then there are gun shots from the left the camera turns and instead of seeing what we need to…we see a show of gunfire outside the club. I look to Christian as he glances away from the screen; he is intent on his call. He nods and calls someone else then turns to me.

"They got him Baby" He says smiling and relief floods my body. "Good thing you like to keep up with the media." He jokes as he pulls me into a hug and kiss.

"What are you going to do with him?" I ask looking up at him.

"Depends on what information Taylor recovers…after were through well hand him over to Skinner." I nod needing no further explanation.

"Shall we continue?" Elliot asks Christian who nods kisses me and says they'll be done in a moment. I nod at him. I grab my half eaten cheesecake and deposit it in the garbage…Kate has followed me.

"Drink?" I ask inquisitively.

"Please," she replies and I pour us glasses of chilled Bollinger.

"So, how is work?" I ask her and she gushes about all the writing she's been doing.

"How much is your advertising?" I ask her after she's dished enough to have her gossipy fill for the day.

"Depends you want an insert or actually in the newspaper?" She asks.

"Which one is a more effective tool of advertisement?" I ask her

"The insert I'd generally say…but of course there are great spots in the actual paper, too." She says.

"I'm thinking in terms of a full page-color," I say to her.

"You want an insert definitely…but you'll have to have them printed then get them delivered to the paper." She says. I nod then retrieve my MacBook and show her my advertisement.

"Damn, Anastasia Grey, you are in the wrong business!" She says as her eyes glaze over my Ad.

"How long did this take you?" She asks glancing up.

"Umm, about an hour." I say then I go into detailed plans of what I want to do with the empty square.

"Christian, got more than he bargained for marrying you!" she teases me.

"Oh my God, I almost forgot, I fired someone today…it was very exhilarating." I say and then go into details about earlier.

"Damn," she says then we discuss how the wedding plans are coming.

"OMG Maid of Honor of Mine…will you design my Wedding Invitations?" looking at me this came out of nowhere!

"Kate, I can't do that!" I exclaim to her.

"Yes you can Ana, look at that Ad it is amazing! I know advertising people who would kill for your skills! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE" She begs me and I look at her and frown. Suddenly, she gest on her knees and pouts.

"Oh my, Katherine Kavanagh, on her knees!" I look up and see Elliot and Christian smiling at us.

"Please Ana" She asks again and I give in besides it could be fun.

"Okay" I say to her smiling. She jumps up shouting yes. I laugh and turn to Christian and Elliot.

"Ana has agreed to do our wedding invitations…they're going to be beautiful! Pink, Silver, and White those are the colors!" she says looking from the men back to me.

"And what may I ask has brought this on?" Christian asks smiling.

"Ana's amazing advertising abilities of course…I can't wait!" She gushes.

"Hmm Advertising abilities?" He asks smiling I blush and make to shut the Mac. But, Kate snatches it…

"Oh ho no Ana, I want to see his reaction to your amazing work!" She says and flips the screen to show Christian. As his eyes fall on the Ad they go wide then dial in critiquing it. Elliot also gets an eye full.

"Damn, Ana, you want to redo my logo? That looks amazing! You sure you're in the right profession?" He jokes.

"Oh jeez it's not that amazing," I say blushing from the compliment.

"I thought we just discussed this today? How long have you worked on it?" Christian asks me glancing up.

"Just this evening when you had some work to do." I reply like it's no big deal.

"Ana this is good, really good! When are we going to send it out?" He asks me.

"It's not done I've still got to call Fancy Folios and schedule a book signing and reading for Jocelyn Fornell." I say oh my God Christian likes my work, now I know it's really good.

"Oh, is that what the blank spot is for?" I nod at him and he smirks.

"Shit, I married a business pro!" He squeals and captures me. Ahh Christian squealing ! What a melodious sound.

"I told you Ana," Kate gushes. "You're really good!"

"Well get out of here, then!" Elliot says wrapping his arm around Kate. She finishes her Bollinger and we say our goodbyes.

"Damn Ana I married you for all the wrong reasons…and now I'm finding all the right ones!" He teases. "Angry Manager Ana, Advertising Guru Ana, Marketing Ana…" He stops smiling and I giggle.

"You drink without me?" He scoffs and laughs.

"I do, sir" I giggle then he downs the other half of my glass. He smiles down at me and then he smiles.

"You know I quite like that color on you!" He says slipping his hands around my hips they slide over the smooth material.

"Well, I picked it out just for you!" I smile up at him.

"Oh, such a beautiful present!" He says then picks me up bridal style. "I think I'll go unwrap you now" he says.

"Here I thought it seemed demure!" I exclaim jokingly as he throws me on the bed and strips. I pose and bite my lip as his shirt goes over his head. He looks and growls at me and suddenly were entwined in passion
