The next morning, I try to look my best because with Ana's threat level higher I am hoping Sawyer will bring her to work. When I get there all my hard work to look awesome in the white shirt black pencil skirt, pays off. Sayer is there supervising the installation of the new security check point at the front desk. I look in his eyes and feel the heat rise up through me as I blush. He smiles at me. I go to the break room to get coffee on my way to my office. As I turn, I notice that Sawyer was watching me as I walked away. Now he blushes, and oh my god it was so cute. I close my office door because I need to focus. Ana comes into my office nearly in tears. She said the reports were thick at the door. She is starting to panic.
"I don't think I can handle this," She says.
I tell her that I am sure they will move on soon. We just have to wait for some starlet to crash her car or get drunk at a party.
Ana relaxes and heads to her office. Not before she asks Claire and I to lunch at 1.
Christian must sense Ana's issues because in an hour a dozen pink roses are delivered to her. This brought our happy Ana back.
Claire, Ana and I are having lunch at 1. Ana fills us in on her 2nd proposal. It was definitely hearts and flowers for sure. She then drops the bombshell that the wedding will be in 6 weeks. Ana tells us that no she isn't pregnant.
"Wow six weeks, you must like stress." I tell her.
She tells us that it is really romantic Christian. He doesn't want to wait. He wants her to be Mrs. Christian Grey a.s.a.p.
"That is so nice," I say with a smile.
I return to my office to work on the latest request from Christian's accounting staff. Before I know it, it is 6:30. As I leave my office, I notice Ana is leaving too. We let security know that we are the last two leaving from SIP. Christian and Taylor are waiting for her outside. I waive as I head to the bus. When I get on the bus, I see a text from Sawyer.
Sawyer: Where are you?
Me: On the bus on the way home
Sawyer: Be careful
I forward the be careful to Harland. He responds that Sawyer is being so sweet.
Harland: Did you see Sawyer today? If so, what did you wear?
Me: Black pencil skirt white shirt
Harland: You go girl
Me: Thanks.
Sawyer: What are you doing tonight?
Me: Walking Max , making dinner, and reading my book how about you?
Sawyer: Hoping to leave in 30 minutes when Taylor gets back. By the way you looked amazing today.
Me: Thank you.
Me to Harland: He just text me that I looked amazing today :)
Harland: Of course you did.
I smile as I get off the bus. I am not sure what this is, but I like it.
I swear Max notices we don't take our usual path. Our usual path would take us by Sawyer's. I wonder how we have never run into him and Charlie. I don't want to seem obvious so we take a quick walk and head in. I make a quick pasta salad and pour a glass of white wine. I zone out to the music on the radio. I finish dinner and clean up. I put on my boxers and t shirt. I get my book and crawl under the covers. Max comes up and lays down beside me. My phone vibrates. I look down to see a new text from Sawyer.
Sawyer: Confession time I was hoping Charlie and I would run into you and Max.
I smile and text back: We took a quick walk because I was starving.
Sawyer: What did you eat?
Me: Pasta salad and a glass of wine what did you eat
Sawyer: Mrs. Jones, the cook at Christian's, made me Chicken Alfredo. She always makes extra for the security guys
Me: Lucky
Sawyer: She is super sweet and an awesome cook
Me: I know I have seen Ana's lunches
Sawyer: Another confession, I hope I have a reason to be at SIP tomorrow. I like seeing you.
Me: It would be nice to see you
Sawyer: I should let you sleep
Me: Yes it was a long day. Good night
Sawyer: Good night Angelica.
I fall asleep dreaming of Sawyer. I am picturing him in that tight t-shirt that I know is under that suit. We are having a picnic. He is dipping strawberries in chocolate sauce and feeding me. There is a little chocolate on my lip so he leans down to kiss it away. He gently takes me from a sitting position to laying on my back. His lips never leave mine. He is making small circles on my breast and I start to moan just as my alarm goes off. Now I am just frustrated so not fair. I feed Max, hit the shower, and take him for a walk. I am on the bus and in the office by 8. The security is a pain, but for Ana I will deal with it. I grab my coffee and head to my office. Must focus on work not Sawyer. At 1, Ana pages me to ask if I want lunch. I tell her Absolutely. We sit and talk. She tells me that she will need to start this wedding stuff soon. She says that the wedding will be at Grace's. It will be an outdoor ceremony. It will strictly be family and friends. She ask if I would come. I tell her that I would be honored. She asks if I could go dress shopping with her, Kate, and Mia. I tell her I am not exactly Ms. Fashion. She tells me I will be the voice of reason. Well twist my arm I say. When will that be? This weekend she says. Luckily my schedule is free. I feel slightly guilty because I know that if Ana has to go somewhere Sawyer probably won't get Saturday off and this way I could see him. I am a horrible friend. As we are finishing our lunch, Christian, Taylor and Sawyer come for Ana. As I am walking back from lunch I hear raised voices and see Sawyer and Taylor leaving the room. Taylor seems to be showing Sawyer something, but I can't worry about it. I have a mountain of projects for Christian. Ana comes into my office looking very upset.
"What is wrong Ana? Should I have Hannah bring you some tea?" I ask.
"Christian's helicopter was sabotaged. Now, he is insisting that Sawyer stay here at SIP in the security office all day. I am just not sure I can handle all of this."
"Do you love him?" I inquire knowing the answer as I ask the question.
"More than anything." She answers
"Then hang on to that. When the doubt creeps in, push it away with the answer I love him. Christian is just scared to lose you." I tell her.
She thanks me and walks out. I am in a panic at the idea of Sawyer here every day. I speed dial Harland.
"What is it baby?" He says. I know he must have his father in there.
"Sawyer will be in my office daily!" I shout.
"Honey, this will help you see if he is a prince or a toad by seeing him daily. Relax."
"Easy for you to say."
I hang up and look out the window. I can do this. Harland is right. Seeing him daily could fix all my issues one way or another.
