I walk in the door and there's Kate, she's got the look in her eye. "Ana, what the hell is going on? Tell me everything and do not hold back!"

"Kate, what are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me Steele! What is up with the note you left me? That one that stated, 'Going out for a drink with Christian Grey, if you don't hear from me in 24 hours contact the local authorities' Now I ask again, what is going on?"

"It's no big deal Kate. Christian asked me out for a drink and I accepted, end of story."

"So, what was the deal with my notifying the cops if I didn't hear from you eh? You scared me Ana. I interviewed the man and your instinct was spot on as far as letting me know where you were. He's obviously drop dead gorgeous but there is something off about him. So tell me, how did this happen? How did your worlds collide? Did he just pick you out of the line up of graduates from today? It wouldn't surprise, he can ensnare any girl with those looks."

"It wasn't like that at all," I reply.

I fill Kate in on my brief encounter with Christian 3 years ago and she's speechless. Her eyes are bugged out and her jaw is on the floor. A speechless Kate is something to behold. I've not seen her this way.

"You mean to tell me that you, tiny Ana Steele pulled a man, a man well over 6 feet tall, out of a cross walk and you saved him from being hit by a bus? And that man was the Christian Grey no less? This is crazy! Why hadn't you told me about this incident before Steele?!"

"I don't know Kate, it wasn't that big of a deal."

"Jesus Ana, you saved the enigmatic Christian Grey, one of the most eligible bachelors in the USA and you think it wasn't a big deal?! I don't get it Steele. So, how was your date with Grey, hmm? Got any juicy details for me?"

Oh there she goes, inquiring Kate, always on the look out for the next big story. She is going to make for a great reporter. I better watch my step my here.

"There's not much to say, he took me to his place, we had a glass of wine, he mentioned how frustrated he was that he wasn't able to thank me 3 years ago so he thanked me today by taking me out for a drink. End of story."

Kate is looking at me speechless again, I'm enjoying this! She looks so funny!

"This is crazy Ana, I mean after all these years, you two meet again! If he wasn't such a jerk I would be thrilled for you!"

Uh oh, now I have to tell her that I plan on seeing him again, "Yes, well that being said, we are going out to dinner tomorrow."

"What?! You mean you actually like him? I didn't figure him for your type, yes he's good-looking and he's rich but there is an edge to him. I don't think he's good for someone like you Ana."

How does she know he's not good for me? Surely I'm the best judge for what's not good for me! I'm annoyed and ask in a affronted manner, "What do you mean by that Kate?"

"Oh come on Steele, don't be upset with me. You know what I mean...an innocent like you. He has this look about him, like he's on the look out for his next meal. That's the perception I picked up during my interview with Grey. Even I found him slightly intimidating, though I was my usual headstrong self during the entire time. I wasn't going to let him push me around!"

"Kate, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I can take care of myself."

Kate calms down and says, "Well, I suppose if you're strong enough to pull him out of traffic, then I suppose you're strong enough to kick him in the balls if he tries something."

I'm relieved that she's finally dropping the topic. We talk about her upcoming trip to the Barbados and we are off to sleep.

CPOV

I sit at my desk at Escala trying to go over some numbers that Ros gave me regarding the upcoming deal with the Taiwanese. I become frustrated and shove the paperwork away from me.

As I do, I notice another upcoming venture. Apparently various construction companies have put in a bid to add a wing to my Mom's hospital. Seattle Grace. I've made many donations over the years to Seattle Grace though I've kept my name under the radar. Since mom is the top Pediatrician there and she saved me, I try to find ways to continue to thank Grace for taking me in.

I don't know where I would be with out her or my father Carrick. I've given so much money that eventually the board decided to rename the hospital after my mother. It came as a complete shock to me but I was secretly thrilled that they did this. Since then I've always refered to the hospital as Mom's Hospital.

There have been times when Mom's Hospital was in financial trouble but I would not let Seattle Grace fail. I always come in with a generous anonymous donation. I think they all know it's me but it's not something that we discuss nor do I care to discuss.

I feel an ache in my chest and I think of Anastasia. I am taking my Guardian Angel out to dinner tomorrow. Who would have thought? Christian 'I don't do romance, dates or more' Grey am going out on a date. I don't know what to make of this.

Since my chance re-acquaintance with Anastasia, my emotions are in full disarray! My Angel has turned my cool, calm and collected world on its head!

I'm happy to be away from Miss Steele as I am allowed now to process what I am feeling. How appropriate, process what I am feeling. I've not had so many different emotions course through me at once, I'm angry, frustrated, confused, slightly frightened and dare I say giddy! Fucking hell, I'm giddy!

Ask someone to describe me and the word I can assure you that won't come out is giddy. I need to see Flynn but the man is currently on holiday. In the meantime I will try to figure this out for myself by breaking down these emotions and try to see why I'm feeling each one...

"Taylor!" I shout.

"Sir?" Taylor replies without missing a beat.

"I need a work out, meet me downstairs in 10," I say.

Taylor has a gleam in his eye and manages to suppress a smile, he's been wanting for this for quite some time and with Bastille out-of-town, he will now get his chance to go at it with his boss.

"Yes sir," Taylor replies with a little too much enthusiasm.

TPOV

I quickly go to my room and get my work out gear on. Well, I guess The Boss is having a bit of a challenge with this little one. He needs to work off his pent-up sexual tension. I can't help but smirk. Yes, now is the time to smirk. Run through all your thoughts now so The Boss doesn't know what you're thinking.

Hell, we've been together for over four years, we both know each other well enough that we don't need words to communicate. I only hope he can't read my thoughts when it comes to Miss Steele.

I don't know what the hell The Boss is thinking or perhaps that's it, he's not thinking. He usually makes his "pre-purchases" on-line, does the requisite interview and he's done. So enters the latest brunette fembot.

What the hell has come over him? Then I close my eyes and picture Miss Steele and my own question has been answered. The girl is fucking beautiful and she is just his "type." Having said that Miss Steele is different, there is something about her, even I can sense it. She walks into a room and all eyes are on her. She doesn't realize that her presence is commanding, yet she's shy and very alluring. A complete mind fuck.

If I wasn't hopelessly in love with Gail I would take one Miss Anastasia Rose Steele away from this place and make her mine. The Boss isn't the only one who can make women swoon. I got some pretty good moves of my own. That's how I managed to make Gail mine.

I still recall my beautiful Gail saying that it wasn't a good idea to date since we worked under the same roof, but I knew she would eventually be mine. We've been together and happy ever since. I have a silly 'I'm in love' grin on my face. I better lose the grin before I face The Boss.

The Boss is going to have a much harder time with Miss Steele than I had with Gail.

I laugh thinking about how frustrated The Boss must be feeling. I hope she gives him a run for his money, though I would prefer that he get another fembot & leave Miss Steele alone, she's so sweet and innocent. She doesn't need to be exposed to all his dark shit!

I work for Christian Grey however, I feel extreme loyalty to Miss Steele. I still remember that day 3 years ago, she saved my Boss. I was just coming out of a Starbucks when I saw The Boss about to walk in front of a bus. It was a fucking nightmare that played in slow motion, I knew I wouldn't get there in time but I had to try.

As he takes a step forward, I see a tiny hand grab him back, I ran towards him and I shouted but by that time he was safe. I saw a little girl say a few words to him & off she went on her razor scooter.

By the time I approached The Boss he was still reeling, in shock perhaps, who knows...it took him a moment and then asked me to go after the girl but she was gone, like the wind, gone...

CPOV

Taylor and I return from the gym after a strenuous work out. He beat me 4 rounds to 2 and I know he's enjoying his victory. Perhaps this extra work out will allow me to get a decent night's rest though I highly doubt it.

"There you are you little shit! Come here! I told you when your mom is working you need to go in the closet and wait!"

"No! No! Leave me alone, I want my mommy!" I run and hide but he always finds me. My tummy is hungry and I just want to ask mommy for some food.

"Come here you brat!"

He grabs me and lifts me up by my shirt, drops me on the hard floor and kicks me.

"Mommy, mommy help me!"

"That bitch can't help you now boy!"

I see my mommy hiding in a corner shivering, why won't she help me?

"Ow!" I'm crying, "Stop it! It burns me!"

I wake up to someone screaming. I'm covered in sweat. Just the usual nightmare. I go downstairs and play the piano and let my emotions flow.

My playing is disrupted as my phone vibrates. I check my e-mails...damn! I completely forgot that I am supposed to pick up Mia at the airport today and have dinner with my family! Christ my beautiful Angel mind fucked me again! So much so that I can't even recall my prior commitment to my own sister and family!

I will call her in the morning and reschedule our date. Perhaps this time away will allow me to clear my head and regain my precious control.

APOV

I wake up with nervous excitement. I'm going to see Christian today and I am giddy, I have a huge face splitting grin. I better not let Kate see me like this, she's never known me to get giddy about anyone.

Speaking of which, why am so I giddy? Have I forgotten that this man has a torture room and does who knows what with women?!

Why did I have to fall for such fucked up man? I've been pursued before but no one has ever piqued my interest and the moment one does he turns out to be some sort of character reject from "The Silence Of The Lambs" or something!

Yes, about keeping your emotions in check...Screw that and by the way the way, let Christian screw you too, perhaps you won't be so up tight all the time once you let yourself go for goodness sake!

My sub (short for subconscious, don't get it twisted people-Ana still doesn't have a clue here!) can be so annoying at times. If my sub had any say so I would have lost my virginity in the 7th grade! Slutty sub that she is!

My phone vibrates and I see it's Christian, my heart races, ok easy, don't pick it up on the first on ring, be cool Steele.

"Hello?" I say with a nervous tone.

"Hello Anastasia," Christian purrs. "I'm so sorry Angel but I have to postpone our plans for this evening. I have to pick up my sister from the airport today & my parents will be hosting a welcome home dinner in her honor."

I'm crushed, but try to keep a lighthearted tone, "No worries Christian. I really need to start unpacking anyway."

Both of us remain silent, I want to know when we are going to see each other again but don't want to appear needy.

Just ask him dummy! Just say, 'So hey, when is a good time for sex' Are you still going to deflower me? What say you?'

I kill the silence by saying, "Enjoy your dinner with your family."

I'm rather envious of Christian having a family, family dinners must be so nice. I've enjoyed a family dinner or two with Kate, Elliott and their parents. It's such a nice feeling.

CPOV

I never knew I had a heart until I met my Angel. My heart twists inside as Anastasia sighs and tells me to enjoy dinner with my family. How will that be possible if she is not with me?

I'm filled with anger as I've let this girl lead around me like a damn puppy dog! I need to quit acting like I'm whipped over this girl.

"Yes, well...I call you." I say & quickly hang up.

That's more like it, I'm in control. I feel much better now.

Really Grey, that girl is probably on the other end of the phone wondering what she did wrong and you feel much better now? Good for you asshole!

Well, there's no way I'm going hearts and flowers with my Angel. That's another thing! What's with the fucking calling her Angel anyway? Her name is Anastasia. She's no Angel, ok she did prevent you from being road kill but really, you're just whipped over this girl because she saved your life, that's all it is!

Sure Grey, keep telling yourself that.
