Grace POV
This has by far been one of the best brunches I've ever held. My little boy finally has a girlfriend and Ana is one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met and she's so beautiful too. Everyone says there goodbyes and the last to leave is Elena. We've been close friends for as long as I can remember and we tell each other everything but sometimes she can be a little intense in her opinions and doesn't change her judgment easily. I show her out but as she steps into her car she doesn't close the door right away. Oh no please not an 'Elena intervention' right now, its been such a relaxing day so far.
"Thanks for the brunch Grace it was really lovely"
"No problem, you're one of my closest friends and know my family, you're welcome anytime"
Still waiting for it…
"So what do you think of Christian's girlfriend?"
Annnd there it is.
"I really like her, when she left him I know it killed him but it was for the best for both of them and now they're back together and stronger than ever. She really cares for him and she's such a sweet girl"
I tell her my honest feelings about Ana and she gives me a look that I've only ever seen her aim at Christian before.
"Well, I'd keep my eye on her if I were you. She doesn't come from money so she probably won't handle it well at first, its probably why she was so interested in him in the first place apart from his obvious good looks."
She stops abruptly and pales a little when she realises what she just said. I decide to ignore the comment just so she'll hurry up and leave, it could have just been a passing comment so I'm not going to get hung up on it.
"I think I'm going to trust my son's instinct on this, after all he knows her best so if he's happy then I'm happy"
"I guess so, goodbye Grace"
"Laters Elena."
Damn Elliott, he's got me saying it now too!
Ana POV
We walked out to the R8 in conversation with Ros and her wife. Christian seems so comfortable with them. They walk round to their car which is parking next to ours.
"Christian could we do a double date with Ros and Gwen sometime?"
"Sure, how about inviting them back to Escala while we change and then we could all go to dinner together at the Mile High Club?"
"Great!"
"Ros! Are you and the Mrs free today to come back to my apartment and get dinner together like a double date sort of thing? Ana suggested it I think it would be a great way for us all to get to know each other"
"Grey we thought you'd never ask!"
I can't help but laugh at Ros, she really isn't intimidated by him at all and just yells back at him like he's the easiest person in the world to get along with. They follow us back to Escala and we all get into the elevator, out of the corner of my eye I see Ros wink at Gwen. I guess we're not the only ones. I glance at Christian and he reaches to put his arm around me to pull me closer, subtly grazing over my ass but Ros catches him by the wrist.
"I know you'd try something! Leave the poor girl alone, I can guess what you were doing this morning because you were the last to arrive"
I blush bite my lip in an attempt to hide my smile. The doors open and we are greeted by a very surprised Mrs Jones who can't seem to fathom that Christian and I are not alone and also have a beautiful, tall and very loud redhead and her equally beautiful, but slightly quieter, wife with us. Ros strides right over to the couch and sits down, pulling Gwen with her and making herself at home. We have a couple of hours until we leave for dinner and looking over at Christian and it seems we are both thinking the same thing. We should have met them there so we could have these couple of hours to ourselves.
"How about we go into the playroom?"
Christian's head snaps round to me and he glares at me.
"Christian has a whole set of gaming consoles and a huge TV that he never uses"
I finish and smirk at him. He rolls his eyes at me when he realises that I chose my words carefully and if I'm not mistaken he's trying to hold back his laughter.
"Sure, we could watch a movie? I'm not so bad at games but Gwen here? Phew I mean she's bad, like embarrassingly bad, wouldn't want to humiliate her"
Gwen playfully punches Ros' arm and we all get up and head towards the other room. It's a little more cozy with four people in here rather than just Christian and I but we all manage to get comfortable with some popcorn and drinks while we watch The Heat. I don't usually watch action comedies but it is actually really funny and even Christian is relaxed and laughing. His arm is around me and I'm resting against him, Ros and Gwen are doing the same and I catch Gwen's eye and she smiles at me. This is the perfect day.
Christian POV
I'm surprised I'm enjoying this relaxing double date I thought I would be really uncomfortable and awkward as I don't know Ros' wife that well but her and Ana seem to get along well. Maybe we can do couples things more often. Is that what we are, a couple? I guess that's the easiest label to give it. I could have killed Ana earlier when she suggested we all go to the playroom but then realised she meant in here, referring back to when she thought I meant an Xbox the first time she was here. I love Ana's humour and the fact that she can keep up with Ros, she is making such an effort to get to know what little close friends I have. Shame it won't be so easy with Elena. Ana is resting her head dangerously close to my chest but with her touch I feel no pain, its like she has the touch of an angel. She's the sweetest and most selfless person I have ever met and I'm so proud of her that she can stand up for herself against me. She looks so young and relaxed like this, we're like a group of teenagers having a movie date and double dating. I don't realise how much time has passed and before long it is time to get ready to leave again.
"Ladies, Anastasia and I are going to get changing into something a little more fancy for our meal tonight, we'll be back soon. If you want anything to change into you can go into the bedroom along the corridor, third on the right, and pick something out of Ana's closet"
"Hey are you saying we don't look good? Cause I don't know about you but I think my wife looks hot! And why would I want to spend anymore time in the closet"
She winks at Ana before looking at me and I just roll my eyes at her. She's so sharp and witty and the best negotiator I have on my team. Ana stands up and reaches for my hand to help to off the couch.
"Come on old man"
"What is it with everyone picking on me today?!"
I pout at her pretending to be hurt but truthfully I love this playful and girlish side to her. We head to my bedroom to get changed as most of Ana's clothes are in here anyway. As soon as I turn around after closing the door I am met by Ana's lips on mine and she gently pushes me back against the door. Well this is different. We continue to make out for a while before I hear Ros yelling something about me losing track of time and always being late recently. We quickly dress, I find a dark grey jacket to put on over my white shirt and pull on a pair of jeans.
"Ana we'll be late if you don't hurry up, we're all waiting for you"
I tease her, we're not really late but I want to get her back for calling me old earlier. She looks stunning as she walks out of the bathroom looking a little flustered. She is wearing a light grey cotton top with ¾ sleeves which is tucked into a white and black striped midi skirt with a floral print. Her choice of shoes also shocks me as she has opted for some very high black Louboutins. Fuck that skirt is tight I bet she isn't wearing any panties. I must have stood gawking at her like an idiot but she ignores me and walks out of the room to Ros and Gwen.
"Damn Ana!"
Is all I hear echo through the penthouse as Ros lays eyes on Ana. She is the only person who I won't get jealous about making comments about Ana. Mostly because her wife seems the quiet type but I know she would kick Ros' ass if she ever went near another woman. We head into the lobby to get the elevator down to the parking garage to be greeted by Taylor waiting to drive us to the restaurant.
Ana POV
We had a lovely meal and afterwards I could tell that everyone was a little tipsy. Ros suggested that we go to a new club she heard about which is in this area so we all agree we don't want to end the night just yet. We get closer and I realise that this new club is a new gay club! I've never been to one before so I'm a little nervous but as soon as we get onto the dance floor I realise its just like any other regular club but with much better dancing. I look to Christian and he looks like he's actually enjoying himself despite most of the guys in here drooling over him. Christian Grey in a gay club, I never thought I'd ever see this! I decide the opportunity is too good to miss and gather Christian, Ros and Gwen for a selfie. We leave at around 3am and I change the wallpaper on my phone to the selfie I took. We get back to Escala and I show Ros and Gwen to my old room so they can stay the night. Ros winks at me as I leave and I hear Gwen squeal as I guess Ros has probably just jumped on her, pushing her onto the bed. I smile and shake my head as I walk back to down the stairs to find Christian in our room sat on the edge of the bed checking his phone. When he realises that I'm snuggled under the blankets next to him, he puts his phone onto the drawers on his side of the bed and moves closer to me and kisses my shoulder.
"I had fun tonight, especially at the club, another first Miss Steele"
"Me too"
I'm so tired I fall asleep a moment after I reply to him but the whole night I sleep with a smile on my face and think how lucky I am to be in the arms of the most amazing man. He might not be be perfect, but he's perfect for me.
