Christian's POV
I'm in the library of the university waiting for Ros. She's one of the coolest and smartest person I've ever met, and has a killer instinct for business.
This second year I've been really bored at college, I feel like I'm not learning anything new. There are some classes that I don't even attended and I'm still having the best grades. That's how I met Ros, she ended her studies in June and stayed for one more semester to help a teacher. One day after finishing an exam she came to me.
"Grey, right?" she says with roughness.
"Yes", I confirm with the same tone.
"I've noticed you come only to a few classes and still you manage to have the best grades."
"Yeah, so…?", where's she going with this?
"So we have two options: you are cheating or you are a genius."
"If I only have those two options, I think is the second one", I say confident, she smiles when I answer that.
After that we have been meeting for about two months analyzing and creating a business proposal for a small telecommunication company in Seattle that if keeps going in the direction it is it will be a total failure, today is a decisive day, Ros should have the last balance with the finals numbers and if everything goes as planned we soon will see profits.
"Hello, Grey" she says when approaches me taking me out of my thoughts,
"What's up Ros, you got it?" I say excited.
"Yes, the results are good for us, if we hurry we can make an offer and buy it at a minimum price."
"What do we do now?"
"I have to show the balance, but in private, we're in 'Top Secret' term, Grey. We have classified information, I don't want this to get out of our hands for being careless."
"Good, I live at 15 minutes walking, let's go to my place", she nods.
We walk fast and in silence, Ros is not the type of person than do small talk. So while we go I use my mind in pleasant thoughts, I have images of yesterday, Ana and I celebrating our first wedding anniversary. We had a good time, we discovered a whole new use for food…, I love discovering new things with my wife. My thoughts have directly repercussions in my crotch, calm down Grey, Ros is going to think you are a pervert, I think.
I change the course of my thoughts.
It was a great year, and that's not even making it justice. They say the first year is the hardest, but for us, was wonderful. Even though Ana has been busier this semester with her studies, she always has time for me, we never argue and we share everything. Well, we have had one argument, our first and only fight about a month and a half ago.
"Ana, are you okay?, it's like your mind is in another place, I was telling you that tomorrow I'm not going to class."
"I'm sorry honey. Why aren't not going?" She asks distracted.
"It doesn't matter, tell me what's going on Ana, you are getting me worried."
"I'm delayed with my period" oh...
"It would be a really bad moment to have a baby", it's the first thing that comes out of my mouth.
"Don't you say, that's what you have to tell me Christian?" Whoa, what's that tone, I'm just being honest.
"It's the true Ana, I'm starting to build my business, you are busy studying, how are we supposed to have a baby? Now all my time is spent in everything I just said, I can't look a job if I'm building my company and going to college at the same time, add a baby, it is a bad moment."
"Oh my God Christian…, shut up!" Shut up?
"What do you mean shut up?" I say offended.
"I'm so scare and the only thing you have to tell me is that it's not a good moment, what's that supposed to mean, that if I'm pregnant and it is a bad moment for you you're leaving me, or wore you want me to get an abortion?, what I'm supposed to think?, so you better shut up", with that said she stands up and walks to the bathroom.
"Ana, don't leave!, what happened with the pills?" I say annoyed.
"Nothing is 100 percent safe Christian, you know it well", she answers and keeps walking.
Some minutes go by and she's still in the bathroom. Shit…, I feel like the worst husband in the world my Ana just wanted my support and I did the opposite. I go to the bathroom to find her taking a tampon out of its box.
"I just got my period" she says with a broken voice and starts crying.
"Baby, I'm sorry" I kneel in front of her and hug her, "I was in panicked, I should have supported you right away" I say while she cries in my neck.
"I was so scare, I don't want to get pregnant yet either, I know it's not a good time, it wasn't necessary for you to remind me."
"Forgive me, I swear if something like this happens again I'll man up and won't be the jerk that you just saw, I'm sorry."
That has been our only argument.
"Is it long?", Ros asks pulling me back to reality.
"No, we are here, just around the corner", I say. We have walked fast and we are almost home.
Ana's POV
I'm waiting for Christian to arrive from college, it has been one of those days I couldn't stop thinking about him, I guess after yesterday I've been willing to repeat it. I have dinner ready and I'm wearing a satin lingerie that I know Christian loves, I hope I don't have to wear it for long.
When I hear the keys on the lock and the door opens I give a little jump and throw myself to his neck and put my legs around his waist while we kiss, dinner can wait I think but he breaks the kiss.
"Baby, we're not alone..."
Just then I notice there's a woman at the door with an uncomfortable smile, fuck!
"Ana, this is Ros, Ros my fiancé, Ana."
"Nice to meet you", we say.
Ros is a woman, for the way christian talked about her I always thought it was a man.
"We won't take long, baby. We are just checking some numbers."
"Okay." I smile though I feel my night is ruined.
They go to the little desk in our living room and turn on the computer, I see Ros connecting a flash USB and Christian places one hand on the table and the other in her shoulder, oh…, I think, Christian never does that with anyone that's not me at least not that I have seen him doing it with another person.
"Do you want something to drink?" I ask trying to sound self confident.
"I don't baby, thanks. Ros?"
"No, thanks, I'm fine," she says without moving her eyes from the computer screen.
"Okay", I answer thinking that I would also be fine with my husband's hand on me, don't think like that I reprimand myself, I don't want to be the jealous wife.
Without saying anything I pick up the book I was reading and go to the bedroom to continue it while Christian finishes his business, I didn't feel him following me when I entered the bedroom, before I lay down he hugs me from behind and kisses my neck.
"Don't be jealous Mrs. Grey", he whispers in my ear with a seductive voice that melts me.
"Me, jealous?" I say doing as I don't know what he's talking about.
"I love it when you are jealous like this, but you don't have to be my love" he says again in my ear and kissing my neck, "in fact…, I am the jealous one, Ros is a lesbian."
"Oh!", is everything I can say, I feel stupid.
"Exactly my life, now give us some minutes, I'll finish with her and I'll take care of this small piece of fabric you're wearing Mrs. Grey" with that he goes back to the living room.
Now I understand how released was Christian when I told him Jose is gay.
"What were you doing with Ros?, I didn't understand what you were talking about" I say while we cuddle in bed.
"We have a business proposal for a company in Seattle" I notice some bitterness in his voice.
"Why do you say it like that, isn't it suppose to be something good?"
"Yeah, but I don't have the money to start, I've been thinking about talking with my grandfather but I don't want to owe it so much, dad would not lend me because if I do this I'll have to drop out from college and a bank won't give me a loan at this moment."
"How much money do you need?"
"A 100 thousand dollars."
"Are you sure this is what you want, drop out and start now your own business?
"Yes Ana, I'm not learning anything new, I'm actually bored of college and I want to start working, the sooner I do it the sooner we can give the news of our marriage."
"I have that money."
"Ana, no, that's your money."
"It's our money, Christian."
"You really would do that for me?"
"I'll do anything for you my life", it's the true.
"I'll have to leave to Seattle, Ana."
"I know, we'll figure it out, we can travel, besides you don't have to leave right away do you?"
"No, Ros can leave earlier and start the negotiations, I can leave after and yes we can travel, we will make it work, I know I'll be good at this, love, I wouldn't take the risk if I didn't trust in what we are doing."
"It's done then, tomorrow we are going to the bank" I say with decision.
"Thank you love, I'm calling Ros immediately", he says smiling.
He looks up for his boxers and gets up of bed holding his phone and starts dialing, when he is at the door he stops, comes back, leaves the phone in the nightstand, takes off his boxers and says: "fuck Ros, I'm going to make love to my wife first", that's my husband I'm always his priority.

Ana's POV
I came back to Boston yesterday, winter break is over and today I start classes again. I came back alone, a month ago my husband closed the deal he was so excited about and his dream is becoming a reality. I'm so happy for him but I already miss him.
While we were together in Seattle we found a little apartment there, for the moment it will work as an office for him and Ros and for a couple of engineers that are helping with the initial platform in the meantime they find a better place for Grey Enterprises Holdings.

Ana's POV
It has been a long week, I've been staying late in the library of the campus so I don't miss Christian so much, I haven't succeeded. I'm arriving home, open the door and there he is, waiting for me.
"Christian!" Is everything I say before throwing myself to his arms and he attacks my mouth.
"Ana, I've missed you so much…" he whispers in my ear.
"Me too baby, it's been a never ending week…" I say gasping.
"I know, I made you dinner…" I smile, I missed his details all this week.
"Let's dine later, I want you to make love to me now, Mr. Grey."
"We aim to please Mrs. Grey."
June 8th, 2019
Ana's POV
The semester is officially over, sophomore year was exhausting and finishing it without the constant presence of Christian was a challenge for me, there isn't a moment I don't think about him.
I'm arriving to Seattle, I go pick up my suitcase and walk out to take a cab.
"Do you need transportation, Mrs. Grey?" I hear his voice behind me, I turn around and without caring about people around us I jump to his arms. We haven't seen each other in a month.
"Let's go baby, before I take your clothes off right here", says my always willing husband. I'm surprised when he takes me to the Four Seasons instead of our apartment.
"A hotel?" I ask surprise.
"I'm sorry baby", he says while we walk to the room, "we have to stop here first, our apartment is still an office and I don't want to scare Ros with our yelling" he says kidding. "We already have a floor in a nearby building but with Ros we use the apartment as a meeting center, in a couple of months, if everything goes as it is we will be able to buy a building and have everything managed from just one place.
We arrive to the bedroom and without saying anything else we start recovering the wasted time. We are hugging in bed while christian catches me up with the company, he has done so much in so little time and he is making a name of himself out there, and according to Ros' numbers in a year he will be a millionaire or we'll be millionaires.

Ana's POV
Vacations were gone too fast, but they were well used, I didn't just see my husband, we could see our families and friends, I missed them, sometimes is so easy to let ourselves carry on by our bubble that we forget about the rest of the world, I needed to go out with the girls.
As Christian is making a name of himself he talked to his father, at the beginning he wasn't so happy, but when he showed him how the company has grown in less than a year he calmed down a little and said he trusted in his decisions.
We haven't tell our families we are married yet, the moment didn't come out and we want it to be special.

Ana's POV
Christian should have been here yesterday, but he lost his flight so he's arriving today, we are celebrating our second wedding anniversary, I prepared a romantic dinner at home and I'm waiting for him to arrive, he insisted in not picking him up from the airport.
I have everything ready when someone knocks the at door, I open it and there he is, my handsome husband with a bouquet of red roses in his hands and a smile, I don't know which one I like the most, I think the second.
"Happy anniversary, Mrs. Grey."
"Happy anniversary, Mr. Grey", we kiss.
Last year haven't been easy, but we have made it work, Christian might love his job a lot but he loves me more and he always probes it to me, being far away has just reassured our love. We missed each other with dearly, but every time we get together is special.
"I want to buy another apartment in Seattle", he says while we lay in bed face to face.
"Whats wrong with the one we have?"
"My security chief says it's not safe."
"Safe?"
"Yes, it looks like I'm famous in Seattle now, I've been having to deal with paparazzi this last couple of months."
"You are a celebrity Mr. Grey", I say teasing him but he is really worried.
"Ana, I don't want you to go for now, I'll come here, I don't want them to know about us and then they won't leave you alone, the are exasperating, I've considered hiring private security, but I don't know if it would be that necessary."
"Okay honey, if that's what you want" he instantly relax.
"I've already seen a place near the company building, I want you to approve it. Next week I have an appointment with the real estate agent, I'll let you know so you can see it by FaceTime."
"Okay honey."
April 6th, 2020
Ana's POV
I'm taking a shower before going to bed with a book while I wait for my husband's call, he calls every night, we talk about our day and he wishes me a good night. I haven't been to Seattle in several months, but Christian has tried to come more often.
I get out of the shower and see my cellphone flickering, I have a texts.
*I miss you my love, I'm counting the hours to see you this weekend. I'll talk to you when I get to Escala.* -C
I smile seeing his text, these little details have allowed us to keep so in love after almost four years of knowing each other, time flies. This year we'll be 22 and we'll have 3 of marriage. In June I finish my third year of university and for Christian's birthday we have decided to give the big news to our families.
I write him back a quick response.
*I miss you more, I'll be waiting for your call. I love you. x* -A
I put on my pajamas, take my book and read. Some minutes pass when my cell phone rings, I see it's Christian, it's still early for his call, but I answer happily
"Hello, my love", I say.
"Ana" he says with released, that's weird.
"Is everything alright Christian, you arrived early to Escala."
"Yes, everything is fine, I just wanted to hear your voice, I'm still at work. Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yes Christian, why wouldn't I be?"
"No, nothing, I just miss you so much, baby" I smile.
"Me too my life."
"I gotta go baby, I'll call you soon, I just wanted to hear you for a moment. I love you."
"Talk to you soon baby", we end the call.
