APOV

I have been living with Christian for a week, and everything was great. Tomorrow, will be our three month anniversary. Geez... Never thought I'd count anything like that. Why do I even count?

Christian had been trying to have 'normal' hours, as normal as it can get for him, I love him for that, always trying to do everything to make me happy. I have been helping him when he works from home.

Next week I'll start at SIP... Now Grey Publishing. I will lead the company from GEH at a floor that is free, a few importnant people will move there too, but the people that can stay there, will stay there. Although, he says not, but I know he will come and check up on me every once in a while and will make sure everyone knows I'm his.

I love him for everything he has done.

I also know there is something else coming up. I just don't know what yet. And I hate it. He has been very secretive about something, he has been missing some lunches with me and his family and I know for a fact there is always a woman with him.

Yes, I know, it sounds wrong, but I love him, and I trust him, he would never cheat on me. Ever. Just like I would never cheat on him.

It's evening and I am helping Gail cook dinner. She wasn't very fond of the idea. I know she is in on the secret too. Mia is as well, and Grace, I think, I don't know. I want to know too, but if Christian doesn't want to share yet, I am not going to push, because he will share with me. He always does.

I help Gail put it out and decide to wait for Christian to eat.

Hey, baby. -C

I smile at the text. Even after this time he always calls me baby. Hey, Handsome, how are you? -A

I wait for response, but don't have to wait long, because ever since our break, he texts me back as soon as possible.

I am great, and on my way, I'll be there soon. -C

Wear something nice, I'm taking you out. -C

Out? Gail and I have cooked dinner. -A

I'm sorry, but it's really importnant. We'll eat that delicious meal tomorrow or tonight, but wear a dress, one for me. Please? -C

You know I can't resist you. -A

I put my phone away and go to my closet. I look through the dresses and find one. I pick a cream dress with nude shoes and a cream bag. I put my hair up and go to the foyer, where Christian just comes out of the elevator. As always he looks amazingly handsome in his suit. He smiles at me, puts his hand out for me to take and leads me to the elevator.

We get out of the elevator and he goes to the car with me.

He drove me to my house but didn't take me in the house, instead he took me around it and into the woods, I know he is taking me to the meadow.

"Why are you taking me there?"

"Where?" He asks innocently.

"You know where, the meadow." I say.

"That obvious?" He asks.

"Kinda. But I don't mind, you know I hate surprises." I say.

"That you do." He says. I know he is remembering the first time he got me a surprise, a car to be exact, we did argue, but we also made love, sweet, passionate love.

I smile at him. "Well, you shouldn't have given me a car."

"I am going to give you something way better now." He took my hand again and pulled me to m... our meadow.

Once there he goes to our spot and drops to his knee. "My sweetest, most loving Anastasia... I never thought I could be happy with someone, let alone love someone. But with you, every doubt I ever had, it went away. Because you are my life. I have loved you since you came into my life, I love you right now, and I will love you forever, will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He takes out a box with a beautiful ring in it.

I put a hand to my mouth to cover my gasp. I wished he would do it, and he did. I look at him, in disbelief, does he really want to marry me? "Yes..." I nod. "Yes, a thousand time yes."

He comes up with a smile, pulls me off my feet and swirls me around while kissing me. "I love you." He whispers against my lips.

I kiss him again. "I love you too. I will always love you."

"Always. As my wife." He puts the ring on my finger while saying so.

"Ms. Grey. Has a nice ring doesn't it?"

"Like it was destined to be."

"Like it was faith." I say, nodding.

"You have just made me extremely happy, Ms. Grey."

"Future Ms. Grey. But I wouldn't mind being it tomorrow." I say.

"We could go to Vegas."

"No, thanks, I'll pass that one up, although I would love to."

"Then why not?"

"A. your parents would kill me, B. Mine would kill both you and me, C. I want to marry you in a place that means something to us, not some chapell."

"Good points. Come on, lets go home."

I grin. "Let's go home." I agree.

He rolls his eyes. "Not for that. For dinner, maybe then, I'll think about your fantasies."

"Oh, so you before me, huh?"

"Never."

"I know." I kiss him softly on his lips and smile. "That's one of the many reasons I love you."

"Can I know another one?" He asks.

"For listening to me when we met, and not just eye me. For not judging me. For making me feel wanted and loved. For trusting me, no matter what. For caring for me, no matter what. And another thousand reasons."

"A thousand, huh?" He asks.

"You know what I mean." I say.

We are at the car and get in. "Yes, I do, I know, because I have the same with you."

We arrive at home, pretty quickly, due to almost no traffic. We go up and our first stop is the kitchen, because, we are really hungry. Like, really, really, hungry. I heat our meals again and we eat them with some noises of Christian.

"Good God, baby, this is amazing."

I smile. "Don't only say it to me, I only helped Gail."

"Mhm." He nods. "I'll make sure to pass it up."

"Hey, how about we have a family dinner, with both our parents, in a few days, where we'll break the news?"

"How does a few weeks sound?"

"Uh-uh, I want to marry in a few weeks, not break the news, I want to marry, in a month, or two, if it is okay with our schedules, of course."

"We'll make sure of it... you know when I asked if you wanted a short or long engagement, and you said short, I thought three months, the least." he says.

I shrug. "If that is what you want, I don't want you to do anything you don't like."

"No, I don't want it, if you allowed me, I would take you to Vegas right now and marry you tomorrow. But you won't. And I resprect that. Come on, let's go to bed." he says to me, taking my hand and leading me to bed.

After one hour of love making, and another of talking, we fall asleep in each others arms.

Thank you for everything.

CPOV is up as well.
