Taylor

That was a fucken close call. I thought the boss was going to expire on the trip over. Luckily all is ok and we are on our way back to Escala. To be honest I was terrified that we will not get there in time. She can't keep taking anymore chances like this. I must admit that this truck is a beauty to drive. The boss is one lucky son of a bitch. Last night the boss made me bring in a clean up crew and we dismantled the playroom. It was such a good feeling to destroy that place up. They re-painted it for Ana and set up a state of the art lab for her. She is going to be so impressed. I have put in the last box in there when they walk in hand in hand looking so happy.

"Taylor is all arranged?"

"Yes sir we will leave in 10 minutes to Bellevue."

"Ok we will be ready." Then the shit hit's the fan when the little woman speaks up.

"Christian I want to go to Bellevue on my bike. I have not ridden in so long."

"Excuse me? Your bike? What bike may this be?"

"The one Luke drove over for me from my apartment. I have not had time to enjoy it and this would be the perfect time." Oh shit the boss is going to fuck this up. I can just see it. I make a quick decision that could get my ass chewed by the boss.

"Sir. I need you in my office now. Let Ms. Steele explore the new space here and I will brief you on the latest." He scowl's at me because I have never interrupted him before nor have I ever demanded his time. But he nods and follows me to my office.

"Taylor what the fuck was that?" He screams at me.

"Sir with all due respect. That was me saving your ass from a full-blown argument."

"What do you mean?" He is now trying to work out what I am doing and I want to laugh. He is so fucken clueless.

"Sir Ana is a very strong-willed independent young women. For you to tell her she can't do something will automatically force her to prove to you that she will do the total opposite. She will do it to prove a point to you sir. You were going to order her to never ride her bike again which would have been the biggest mistake of the day sir." I can see the wheels in his head turn and he smiles at me. The bastard.

"Taylor you are one smart man. Now I see why I keep you around. What do you suggest I do?" Oh so now he wants my opinion.

"Put her on a guilt trip sir. Tell her you will be so worried about her and you need to have her close to you. Tell her the security will not be able to tail her on the bike and she will be an easy target and if they get to her they will use her to threaten you and Kate sir. Tell her she will also be putting the security's lives at risk."

"Taylor you are brilliant. I owe you one."

Ana POV

I knew what Taylor was doing by getting Christian to leave. He was making him calm down about my bike. Anyway I am in my element with this beautiful lab my baby has created for me. It's absolutely beautiful. Christian came back and we decided for security reasons I will only use my truck but I had a plan up my sleeve.

"I will make a deal with you Christian."

"Do I want to hear this deal?" That makes me laugh.

"Can you and I go to the race track one of the days and ride? I will take my bike on the truck and you can rent a race car. We can have some fun together. This way we are in a controlled environment and the security will be there and they will be safe." I can see he is thinking about it then he smiles and says.

"That's a brilliant idea baby. I will get Taylor to set it up for us. Maybe we can make it a double date with Kate and Elliot."

"Yes, that would be fabulous."

"Baby thank you for this beautiful lab it's the greatest thing anyone has done for me."

"You welcome Ana. As long you are not stuck in here all the time and actually spend some time with me."

"Of course I will." And we both laugh. We pack the SUV and head to his parents house. We arrive at Bellevue and Christian takes my hand and leads me to the house. Before we even got to the door it was flung opened and there stood Grace.

"Hello darlings you'll made it." She gives me a hug and kisses Christian on his cheek.

"Hi mom it's actually good to be here." We walk in and Grace informs us the others are in the back yard swimming. Just then Kate comes in and scoops me away into Elliot's childhood bedroom. I wonder what all this is about? She has definitely got something to tell me.
