I feel so good, since Christian and I had our foreplay session he has been so perfect to me. We spend the rest of our Saturday evening and night watching movies and making out. Surprizingly he never mentions sex once. Sunday flys by like a breeze. We go shopping; I need to find a dress to wear to one of Christian's charity events. I get my hair done, and we have lunch at the club with the gang. It feels like other than Kate, Elliot, Mia and Ethan and occastionally Grace and Carrick, Christian and I really don't socialize much with other people. After lunch we all go back to Escala, the men are playing pool while the ladies drink cocktails. Mia is mixing some weird stuff, its green but tastes good.
"Ana, what is going on with you and Christian?" Kate asks me.
"What do you mean?" I ask. I know she can tell that there is a deep, intense vibe between Christian and me but I do not see the need to tell her everything. Sometimes Kate is just too nosey.
"You know what I mean, are you guys having a fight?"
"No Kate, we are not having a fight, in fact we are perfectly fine."
"Then why is there this tension between the two of you?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about?" I say.
"Actually I see it totally different." Mia chirps in.
"How do you see it, Mia?" Kate asks, she looks a bit angry but I ignore it and turn my attention to Mia.
"I see it as romance, the kind of I can't get my hands of you type of feeling. Christian looks ready to jump into it at any moment. He really does love you, even with memory loss." Mia is smiling as if whatever she has said has explained it all.
"That is nonsense." Kate blurts out.
"Oh Kate, don't be silly, it is clear that the only tension between Ana and Christian is sexually tension." Mia puts her drink down and looks to me for confirmation.
"Ana, tell us what is going on now." Kate insists and I feel sorry for her, since Mia is a part of our lives, Kate has had to share my attention.
"Fine, if you must know Christian and I are on a 90 day rule. He has worked of 30 already with good behavior."
"Are you insane?" Kate says, too loud for my liking and I look at her, giving her my don't go there look.
"I think it is so romantic." Mia, is gleaming, she really is a sweetheart.
"Oh please you think everything your brother does is romantic."
"You are so rude Kate, now I get why Christian dislikes you so much!" Mia says and then stalks off to join the men at the pool table.
"Can you believe that?" Kate asks me, I look at her and wonder why she has to be so nasty to Mia.
"That was not nice Kate."
"Ana, I don't know what has gotten into you lately, you just not the same anymore."
"None of us have been the same, as time changes so do people." I say but she just looks lost at me.
"What is really going on Kate?" I ask her finally.
"We just not the same, our lives just seem to be consumed by the Grey's, don't get me wrong I adore them but I miss the time we had, just us doing what we love."
"Oh Kate I miss them too, maybe we can do something, maybe go for drinks." I add trying to cheer Kate up.
"What is the point, security is so tight these days, I am afraid to go to the bathroom because I have to argue my way in every time."
"I know, just let the female security go in with you. It will be over soon."
"I doubt it, when it comes to Christian Grey something always comes up, I don't know how you do it Ana."
Kate's words dampened my spirit a little. Yes she was right when it came to Christian something always came up. Finally the weekend was over and early Monday morning I wake up alone in bed, Christian mentioned that he had an early morning conference call. I shower, change into my favorite plum dress, my knee high boots, I put my hair into a bun, a little mascara and my favorite cherry lip gloss. I look at myself one last time and head down stairs.
"Good Morning Gail." I say.
"Good morning Ana, what would you like for breakfast?"
"Has Christian eaten yet?"
"No, he said to ask you wanted and then you would eat together."
"Fine, we will have bacon, eggs and some toast." I say and dunk my teabag into the cup of boiling water that Gail has handed me. As I drain my cup of tea Christian emerges, he looks amazing, he is wearing a faded blue jeans, not the same play room kind but similar. He has a white sweater on and his hair looks like he hasn't brushed it yet it suits him.
"I thought you had a conference call this morning?" I say as he comes over to me and kisses my forehead.
"I did, aren't you all dressed up for breakfast." Christian says as he sits down.
"Well breakfast and then work."
"Work?" Christian looks at me like he is confused.
"Yes, I have to go to the office; I have a few meetings lined up."
"No you don't, I had Hannah cancel all of them." Christian says.
"You did what?" I feel the blood rush to my face, now I am angry, how dare he mess with my career.
"Ana, you know what happened on Friday, I cannot allow you to go to SIP till we know that the place is secure."
"That could take weeks or even months. I might as well just hand in my resignation and be done with it." I feel my ears ringing and I know my face is red, I just can't understand why our whole life has to come to a standstill.
"That is not a bad idea; I don't see why you need to work. I can provide well for both our needs."
"Don't you dare get me started Grey, I will not give up my job and sit here and twiddle my thumbs while you playing CEO."
"You don't have to twiddle you thumbs, I am sure I can find something to keep you busy."
"This is serious, I need to go to work, I will have security with me and I will not make a move without your consent."
"No Anastasia, someone at SIP is working with him and I need to know who it is before I can let to go back out there."
"You are so infuriating Christian Grey. I am not a porcelain doll. I will not break every time I step out of Escala"
"Infuriating… Do you want to know what is infuriating Anastasia?" Christian asks, he steps closer and I can feel he is breathing hard.
"What is infuriating is that I have 60 more days before I can fuck you really hard, infuriating is that I don't have control of this situation and mostly infuriating is that there is a rat hidden away at SIP that is leaking information on your where abouts to a fucked up lunatic and if I am not careful he will get to you and then Anastasia, you do not want to know what will happen then. Now I would like for us to have breakfast and then you can contact Hanna and sort out your schedule for the next couple weeks."
Christian has offered to share his office with me, he has opted to work from home as well, I think he wants to make sure I do not step out of line. I go to the kitchen, grab some tea and decide to check my mails, as I sit down; I notice the photos that where taken on Friday of me sitting on Christian's table. I look at them closely and then like a whirlwind it hits me, I know exactly who took the photos there is only one person that is close enough to have taken them. What I do not understand is why anyone hasn't suspected her?
I need to find Christian to let him know; I grab the photos and rush out his office to find him. Something is just not right, why has he missed this?
A/N: Hi All I am sorry for the delay in this chapter; also it is not the best chapter, please forgive me for this. Any guesses who the Rat is?
Will work on a chapter tonight (SA time) and post first thing in the morning.
