Chapter 14 - APOV
I feel Christian tense up and freeze. He is still sitting straddling me but slowly lets go of my hands.
"Mom?" I hear Christian say "What are you doing here?"
Mom? Mom? Oh my god...please let the floor open up now and swallow me whole...how long has she been standing there...Geez Steele that was really classy for a first impression. Screaming the word dick like an idiot. Maybe if I keep very quiet she won't notice me anymore.
"Hello darling" she says. Her voice sounds nice enough. "Elliot called me this morning and said that they were done with the house, so I came by to check it out. And I thought, since I'm here I can go by and see Christian. It's been a while son."
"Mom, I saw you a few days ago." He clears his throat "Mom how long have you been standing there?"
"Oh honey...long enough but don't worry I was young once."
"Mom, please...don't even go there." he turns around and he is looking down at me. He stands up from the bed and reaches for me.
"Ana baby, I would like you to meet my mother, Dr. Trevelyan-Grey. Mom, I would like you to meet Anastasia Steele, my girlfriend."
I stand up and try to tame my hair and straighten out my shirt. I still haven't looked at her.
Maybe if I close my eyes, she won't see me? That always works for Sam.
"Anastasia what a beautiful name." I hear his mother say
I take a deep breath and slowly look at the woman standing in front of me. I am met with brown gentle smiling eyes.
"Hello Anastasia, it's so nice to meet you. Christian has told me a lot about you."
"Hello Mrs. Grey, nice to meet you. And please call me Ana." I manage to say. "Oh, please call me Grace, Mrs. Grey makes me feel so old."
"I'm very sorry about what you had to hear..." I whisper and I feel the blush creep up from my neck to my ears.
"Nonsense, please don't be ashamed. Maybe I should have waited downstairs, but Elliot told me to come up and search for both of you."
"Did he know?!" Christian says.
"Can I offer you something to drink?" I ask Grace
"No, thank you Ana, Ethan offered me a drink. I should be heading home. Carrick and I have dinner plans this evening."
"Of course" I say. And I think I have never felt his horrible in my life ever. Grace turns around to walk to the stairs and I take a quick look at Christian. He is looking at me with a big freaking grin on his face. Ass!
In the meantime everyone has arrived. They are all sitting at the kitchen table. And of course Sam is the center of attention.
"Auntie Ana!" he jumps out of the chair and jumps in my arms giving me a sloppy kiss.
"Hey sweetie! Oh I think you have become taller! Haven't you?" I say.
"Yes I ate a lot of vegtabels." he states and his eyes dart to Christian.
"Cwistian, you are here! Uncle Ethan says we are playing baseball. You can come with us?"
"Sure I would love to little man, but hey...what's the deal...Auntie Ana gets this big kiss, but what about me huh?" Christian says.
He jumps from my arms straight into Christian's and hugs him tight. At the same time Grace gasps. "Oh Christian" she says.
"Who is that lady?" Sam asks pointing at Grace?
"Well Sam, that lady is my mom." Christian says.
Grace approaches them and ruffles Sam's hair. "Hello there Sam, it's nice to meet you." There are tears in her eyes.
Sam is looking intently at Grace.
"Are you Cwistian's mommy?" he asks.
"Yes I am, and I am also Elliot's and Mia mommy. That one over there is Elliot" she says pointing at Elliot. "And Mia is at home with her friends, but I think she would love to meet you."
"I don't have a mommy." Sam says.
Before Grace can reply Ethan asks "So who wants ice-cream?"
"I do! I do!" Sam says and squirms out of Christian's arms.
And then I hear Elliot say "Ana do you want ice-cream...or do you want a big..."
"Elliot Grey!" Grace says in a firm voice. Stop acting like a three year old." And she slaps the back of his head. In the meantime Christian flips him of, while Grace has her back turned.
"Moon," Elliot whines "You're embarrassing me."
"No Mister, you are embarrassing yourself." Grace responds and raises one eyebrow at Elliot. I don't think Elliot is arguing with his mother now.
"Auntie Ana" Sam asks. His mouth is covered with ice-cream.
"Yes Sam" somehow I have this feeling that I won't like his question very much.
"Who is Dick?"
Shit! Shit! Shit!
"Oh, Dick...well he is Christian's little friend." I take a quick look at Christian and he is shaking his head and laughing.
"Oh okay ..."
"Okay buddy less talking or we won't be able to play some baseball later on huh!" Ethan cuts in.
"Where is Kate?" I ask looking around.
"She is at the beach, something about clearing her head, but she has been there for a while now, so she will be back anytime." Elliot answers.
"I'm going to leave you now." Grace says while walking to the door.
She kisses Christian on the cheek and hugs me. She is such a nice woman. So warm and sweet.
"So I'll see you guys tomorrow right? Because Mia is dying to get to know you." she says and looks at me.
"Of course, I'm looking forward in meeting Mia as well, and your husband of course." I answer.
"Bye darlings. "She says and walks off in the direction of her house.
I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding. As I'm turning to make my way back to the kitchen, Christian grabs my shoulders and kisses my forehead.
"Common baby let's go back to the kitchen." he takes my hand in his and we make our way to the others.
CPOV
Well that was fucking awkward. My mother has never seen me with a girl before and the first introduction she gets is her son straddling a girl while the girl is screaming the word 'dick'.
We are all standing in the kitchen deciding what to eat and everyone is talking at the same time.
Suddenly Ms. Kate fucking Kavanagh comes stomping into the kitchen looking like shit. Her eyes dart around the room and she stops at Ana.
"Steele, a word with you please." what the fuck? Who the hell does she think she is?
"Um sure." Ana says looking confused.
Ana and Kate walk to the garden and close the door.
"What's that all about?" I just can't stop myself and look at Ethan and Elliot.
"I don't know Christian." Elliot is brushing his hands through his hair "She showed up at my apartment Monday evening, but she looked fine to me."
"How did she get here? Did you pick her up Elliot?" Ethan asks
"Yeah, but she didn't say much, something about her car being at the garage or something like that."
Ethan snorts. "Her car isn't at the shop for repairs...my dad took the car from her. He gave it to her, but lately Kate has been acting totally out of control."
Well seems that Mr. Kavanagh is finally coming to his senses. I never understood why he gave her a job. I mean the woman should be working at the Nooz, with her stupid questions and idiotic attitude.
I see that José is constantly looking at me while he is talking to Sam.
Bring it on fucker. I would love to finish what Ethan started a year ago!
It must be fucking painful to see the girl he is in love with for a long time with someone else who she just met. Tough shit!
"I guess that Kate and Ana won't be back for a while" Ethan says "we should start with the sandwiches." Ethan and José take the bread and other stuff out of the refrigerator and start preparing sandwiches.
"Common Christian, let's start in the garden with the tables and stuff. We'll take a look in the shed, she probably has something in there that we can use."
Elliot and I walk to the shed and I overhear a part of the conversation that Kate and Ana are having. I know it's bad to eavesdrop but I have this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach.
"... I didn't hear from you this entire week Ana. You knew that my dad wanted to talk to me...yet you forget the world around you because you are only thinking about yourself..." Kate's horrible voice comes through the door.
"I'm sorry...but things..." Ana tries to explain.
"Cut the crap Steele! You are already picking the mogul above me, and how long is it that you have known him huh?" What the hell? Like she is one to speak about sticking up for your friends.
"Don't call him mogul." Ana says.
"Whatever Ana...look I don't know what he told you but the guy is a complete ass...he threw me out of his office, may I remind you!"
"Shut up Kate! Just shut the fuck up!" I hear Ana hiss...you go girl!
"You know what Kate, I don't know what your problem is, but don't speak of Christian that way...do you hear me! He threw you out of his office because your questions and attitude where completely out of line...and just stop thinking about it and get the fuck over it...second...this is my home...MY HOME...so if you have a problem with Christian and you think you can't behave around him... There's the door!" well fuck me...Ana is on a roll here. I can't help but feel extremely proud. She is sticking up for me.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" Kate hisses back "You have known the guy for what, a week? You open your legs for the billionaire and throw me out? He must be good Ana...I mean Ana Steele... the mysterious girl in college where boys were practically falling at her feet, acting all shy. Now the billionaire comes in and you spread your legs for him ...just like that? Do you think you will have a happily ever after with him...he will probably ditch you in a few weeks. Be honest with yourself he can have anyone he wants...the moment he finds out about your mother changing husbands every year...You don't even know your real father and Ray...He was a carpenter for God's sake. The Grey's are one of the richest families in the Washington state Ana. And you think you are going to fit in...I mean sure...you inherited millions from your grandmother, but that doesn't make you fit in this world." I start opening the door to the garden, but feel Elliot grabbing my shoulder. "Leave them alone man...Ana can stand up for herself...they probably need this."
"What? What do you mean Kate...? Are you saying that I slept with Christian because of his money?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying Steele...I mean look at the guy he is not known for his gentleness or sweetness...he is an ass."
"You know Kate...you can say whatever you want about me...because at the end I know the truth, but don't call him ass...he isn't an ass." Ana says.
"Okay, a bastard, a ruthless moron, a dickhead..." Kate sums it all up. Can't argue there...she has a point.
"Leave Kate...just leave and call me when you get your act together." Ana sounds so sad.
"You are kicking me out?" Kate shrieks
"That's exactly what I'm doing. I am going to go upstairs and will return in 10 minutes, and when I return I don't want you here...and I don't care how you leave...for all I care you swim back to Seattle...goodbye Kate."
The door opens and Ana's face is pale and her eyes are brimming with tears. Kate fucking Kavanagh is standing there looking shattered. Well, you should think before you speak Katherine.
"Come Kate, get your stuff I will take you to the ferry." Elliot says
I follow Ana upstairs and find her in her room standing by the window. She has her arms wrapped around herself.
"Did you hear everything Christian." her voice sounds small and sad.
"Yes. I'm sorry I shouldn't..."
"It's okay...but maybe she is right you know...I mean you are very rich and handsome and you can have anyone you want...and your parents..." I can't let her finish...it's making me sick. Fucking Kate!
"Ana! Look at me." I say "Baby, look at me." I take her shoulders turning her around slowly.
"Baby, don't believe a word that Kate says okay?"
"But she is right...you are handsome and woman are constantly falling at your feet."
"That's maybe true, but I don't want them...I want you...I never wanted anyone before I met you...don't you see Ana? I don't give a shit what your father did for work or how many husbands your mother has had...All I see I you...you are pure and sweet and beautiful. Don't let that nasty bitch get into your head...and as for my family. I am sure that Mia is going to love you and well you saw my mom, she adores you and my dad will too."
I take her hand and lead her to the bed and sit her on my lap. She puts her arms around my neck and places her face in the crook of my neck. Heaven.
"Thank you for sticking up for me." I say and kiss her head.
She shrugs her little shoulders and says "She should know better, than to mess with someone I love..." the minute the words leave her mouth she tenses and buries her face further in my neck.
"What did you say Ana?" and I gently try to force her to look at me.
She is searching my eyes with her beautiful blue ones. "Please Ana, what did you say?"
"I said she should know better, than to mess with someone I love..." she whispers and her eyes are looking everywhere except at me.
"Ana, baby..." her eyes dart to mine... "I love you too" wow that felt strange...to say that out loud...but I do...I love her! I love Ana.
"You what?" her face crinkles in the most adorable way.
"I Christian Trevelyan Grey love you Anastasia Steele." I smile.
"I Anastasia Rose Steele, love you Christian Trevelyan Grey." And she giggles.
"Damn baby you are something else...you are beautiful, smart, sweet..."
She takes my face in her hands "Less talking and more kissing Mr. Grey."
"We aim to please Ms. Steele."
I brush my lips against her. Her lips are so soft when she cries. I kiss the tears from her cheeks, kiss her little button nose and end and her plump, pink lips. Her tongue skims against my lips and she bites my lower lip. I groan and bite hers too.
"Oh baby your lips..."
"Shut up and kiss me Grey."
APOV
He loves me? Christian Grey loves me? Mousy little Ana Steele?! Maybe Kate is right...maybe he will get tired of me after a few weeks. I mean, what does he see in me anyway? He seems genuine though and when he said that he loved me he looked happy and I could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth.
Kate's words swirl through my brain. What is wrong with her? Sure Kate was always bitchy, but she never behaved that way towards me. What brought this on? Maybe I should of called her...I have been a poor friend. Shit, maybe I shouldn't have thrown her out.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I hear Ethan say.
I take a deep breath. We are walking to the beach. Christian, Elliot, Jose and Sam are walking ahead of us. Ethan stayed behind to help me clean up.
"Oh Ethan, I think I've messed things up with Kate...I threw her out of my house and ..." But he doesn't let me finish.
"Look Ana, you didn't do anything wrong. From what Elliot told me, she had it coming. She behaved poorly and the things she said to you...it's not true...don't let it get to you. You know Kate, when she feels shitty she lashes out to the wrong people...and this time she aimed her anger and frustration at you."
"Look Ethan, you don't have to say anything, she is your sister and I don't want you to feel like you have to choose...Kate is your sister..."
"True, but so are you Ana..." he brushes his hands at his face. "Look ...Kate is going through a lot right now...dad fired her, she lost her car and dad stopped her monthly allowance she got. I believe she still has a little money, but not to live the way Kate loves."
"So what is she going to do? Can she stay at the Pike Place apartment?" I ask...shit now I feel even worse about kicking her out.
"She has to get her act together Ana...she has to find a job and somehow she has to start living a normal life...she has to stop being a spoiled bitch. I don't want to tell you what to do...but leave her be...come on...I see that boyfriend of yours watching you like a hawk...let's save him before Sam bursts his eardrums with his chatter."
Ethan runs to Sam and picks him up. Christian is standing looking at me with his hands in his pockets. Shit he is hot!
"Hey you okay?" he says when I reach him.
"Yeah I'm ok...come let's teach Sam how to play baseball."
We reach the spot where the rest is standing and Ethan starts to explain the rules.
"Ok buddy, listen carefully, the most important thing is the stance. Make sure to be set and balanced. Second is gripping the ball. You grip the ball with two fingers and the thumb. But because of your small hands you can use three fingers. Are you still with me?"
Sam nods his head, making his brown hair bounce up and down.
"Ok then, third the throwing motion." Instead of explaining Ethan shows him how to throw.
"But I want to know how to hit the ball Uncle Ethan." Sam says while he impatiently is jumping up and down.
"Yeah, I guess that's the most fun part huh buddy." Ethan continues patiently to what is the best way to make a good swing.
Ethan claps his hands and calls out. "Okay everyone listen up, this is how we will do it. Jose and Elliot you stand in the field and try to catch the ball. Christian, you are the catcher so you will have to stand behind Sam. Ana you are our referee for today. And I am the pitcher."
Ethan grabs the ball and bat and gives Sam the bat. He goes to stand a few feet away from him and is ready to throw the ball.
Elliot, Jose and I are cheering Sam.
Christian goes to stand behind him showing him the right stance, but before Christian has the chance to step back, Sam throws the bat backwards hitting Christian in his groin.
My first reaction is to laugh, like everybody is doing. Elliot is laying on the ground laughing.
I look at Christian and he is too laying on the ground in a fetal position. His head red, and his hands clutching his 'dick' as he likes to call it. He is growling and cursing.
I have to admit it was quite funny, but I feel so sorry for him, that I hurry to his side and kneel beside him.
Sam is looking at everyone, and when he sees everyone laughing a grin appears on his face.
"Christian are you okay?" Well of course he's not!
"F…damn Ana" he grunts.
Sam comes kneeling beside us with the bat still clutched in his little hands and says.
"Auntie Ana, I think Cristian has a boo-boo and needs a kiss."
Elliot begins to holler...and says 'Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Geez...I'm stuck with a bunch of teenagers and a toddler.
Christian who has stopped growling looks up at me and says mimicking Sam's voice "Yeah Auntie Ana, I think Cwistian, really needs a kiss on his boo-boo, that will make the pain go away." And he grins.
I smile at him..."I don't think that a kiss really helps this time." I say in a serious voice, but bite my lip to stifle a giggle.
"Then what?" Christian asks.
"Just wait a minute okay baby" I say in a sweet voice. I walk to the cooler and grab a bag of ice cubes I walk back to Christian and hand it to him "Here you are honey, I'm sure this is much more effective than a kiss...don't you agree Sam?" I say in a sweet voice.
It takes a little bit for Sam to answer, but eventually he agrees with me. Ice is better than a kiss.
He takes the bag of ice cubes out of my hand and gives it to Christian.
"Here this will help." he says.
Christian is mumbling and pouting.
"Okay guys you continue, Elliot you help Sam with the bat." I say. Elliot look downright frightened, but complies anyway.
I sit next to Christian. The look on his face is of complete astonishment and dismay. He looks at me and pouts.
"I disagree you know...I think a kiss will make it better." He looks at me and pouts in an exaggerated way.
"Okay Christian, but just a little kiss..." I lean on his knees and give his sexy pout a small little kiss.
"I need more." he says still pouting.
"More?!" I tap my finger against my chin and pretend I have to think hard about his request.
"All right, one little kiss." I say. I support my weight leaning on his knees and give his pout another kiss. But the sneaky bastard skims his tongue against my lips...
He smiles and whispers "Thank you baby, I love you."
"I love you too Christian." and kiss his nose. "You have to get up now, because Sam is waiting and he still has the bat..."
"Okay, I'm up. I'm up."
With a thud, I let myself fall on my bed, exhausted, tired. It's 1 am and Ethan and Elliot just left. They are staying at the Grey's house here in Bainbridge Island. Jose and Sam left after dinner.
Christian steps into the room with the phone to his ear, who calls him at this time?
"Yes, Taylor we will be leaving Escala at 4.30 tomorrow to go to my parents' house."
He ends the call without saying thank you or goodbye. He can be so rude sometimes.
He stands on the edge of the bed looking at me with his sexy smile on his face. He takes off his shoes and socks, then he pulls his shirt off.
In order to enjoy the show I lay on my side and support my head with my hand. I gesture with my hand for him to continue.
Slowly he takes of his belt and opens the buttons of his jeans and I see his black Calvin Klein boxers appear.
He is exceptionally good looking. His broad shoulders and broad chest, my eyes wander down to the V leading to his crotch.
He slowly takes his pants off and climbs on the bed. With elegant movements he crawls towards me never turning his eyes away from me.
"You are wearing too many clothes Anastasia" he says in his sexy baritone voice.
The way he says Anastasia makes me squirm.
I stand up from the bed and slowly take of my clothes until I'm only standing in my thong. In one swift movement he pulls me on the bed and hovers above me.
"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are baby?" he says kissing my neck.
I shake my head.
"Well you are...every fucker on the beach was watching you today." He is delusional. He is probably suffering from heat stroke.
He continues kissing me all over my face leaning on his arms.
"You are sweet, beautiful, pure, smart, witty and extremely sexy...and that all combined in a package, makes you perfect."
His fingers are now caressing my legs what makes me shiver.
"I'm definitely not perfect Christian."
"Yes you are Ana, you are my perfect girl...mine!"
"Yes yours, and you are my perfect man."
CPOV
I wake up to the smell of coffee. I feel the sheets on Ana's side of the bed and they are cold. Ana must be up for a while.
Shit I will have to leave tomorrow to New-York. I have no idea how I'm going to manage to be without Ana for that long.
I brush my hands through my hair and make my way downstairs after putting on my jeans.
I find Ana in one of the lounge chairs in the garden. She is curled up with a book and a cup of coffee.
Quietly I make my way to her and sit beside her. She looks at me and moves up to give me space.
Hmmm, since she doesn't speak, I think it wise to keep quiet.
I'm sitting behind her and put my arms around her waist. She leans her head against my chest and continues reading. Her body molds perfectly against mine. We are made for each other.
It is very peaceful here. I never thought I could feel so content and happy. This is all I need, Ana in my arms.
With my fingers I gently caress her arm. After a while I hear her sigh and she lays her book on the side.
"Sleep well?" She asks her voice still thick with sleep.
"I always sleep well when I'm with you." and kiss her nose.
"At what time do we have to be at your parents' house this evening?"
"Around 17.30. But I have to go to Escola first to change. I didn't bring so many clothes with me."
"Sure." she says and relaxes against me.
"Do you want to stay with me at Escala after we return from my parents?"
"Sure. At what time are you leaving for New-York tomorrow?"
"Early I believe. I have to check my e-mails and see what time the departure is planned."
"I don't want to sound as a clingy girlfriend but I am going to miss you..." she says while entwining her fingers with mine.
"I feel the same baby, but I promise to return as soon as possible, but this is something I have to do."
"I know." She turns around and straddles my legs. "Now for that morning kiss Mr. Grey."
She starts kissing my eyes, nose, and cheeks and then she reaches my mouth. The moment our tongues meet I let out a moan.
God, how I love how she tastes, smells, just how I love her. It amazes me that in such short amount of time my feelings for her are so deep. I would give her everything, hell I would give everything up for her. All the money I have, cars, boat, jet...it doesn't mean anything if I can't share it with her.
She moans in my mouth making my cock twitch and becomes even harder. I want her now.
My hands roam her body and I slip them under her shirt and find her breasts. I start tugging and pulling her nipples. She takes off her shirt and clashes her mouth against mine.
She is writhing and moaning and I feel her heat on my crotch.
She starts kissing my neck, collarbone and slides down to kiss my chest. She reaches the button of my jeans and opens it. Impatiently she tries to slide my jeans down. I lift a bit and help her remove my jeans.
She moves up and straddles me again. I slip my fingers under her panties.
"Oh Ana, you are so wet baby."
I push her panties to the side and guide my cock into her. I am balls-deep into her and it's the best feeling I have ever experienced.
"Do you feel this baby, we are made for each other, we fit perfectly, now move baby. I need to feel you."
Ana tips her head back and starts moving up and down clenching her sex.
"Look at me Ana, open your eyes for me."
The moment she open her eyes and looks into mine I see all kind of emotions pass through.
I put my hands on her waist and start slamming into her. This makes her moan and cry out fueling me even more.
I move my hand to her clit and start rubbing it. "Come... on baby... let it go, come for me... Ana."
After three more thrusts Ana comes loudly crying out my name. Hearing her say my name at this moment makes me come undone.
She leans her head in the crook of my neck and whispers "I love you Christian, please don't ever leave me."
"I won't Anastasia, I promise...don't ever think that okay baby?" I put my arms around her tiny waist and hug her with all I have. "I love you too baby, so much. Why would you ever think I would leave you?"
"Because everyone does...don't you see...my mom, Ray...Kate...it must be me Christian, there must be something wrong with me, maybe number three was right..." I can't bear to hear her talk about herself like that.
"Ana! Look at me...now Ana." she lifts her head from my neck and I see tears falling.
"Oh baby, your mother has some serious issues, Kate is a bitch and as for your dad...he didn't leave you because he wanted it you know? That number three was a gigantic asshole...please forget what he said. He is dead and can't harm you anymore."
She is looking at me with the saddest look in her eyes. "I am sure that you soon will see that I'm not worth it, I have so many issues Christian..."
"Stop it Ana...In this short time that I have known you...let's just say I have never told anyone that I loved them...I never fail in what I do Ana. Once I put my mind into it...I succeed. Together we will make it happened. Don't think I will leave you...it's you...only you. I want to make you feel safe, cherished and loved...I want to make you smile and happy...I want to share everything with you. I want to give you the world."
"I have everything don't you see...I have you" she says with a tiny smile on her face. "The feelings I have for you and the intensity of my love for you scare me."
"I know what you mean, I feel the same. But I think about it as a great feeling, something I'm not used in feeling. And since I've never felt it before, it scares me, but it's a good scary feeling."
She goes back to lay on my chest. Her fingers playing mindlessly with my hair on the back of my neck.
Feeling her breast skim my chest. My dick who is still inside her starts to twitch and grow. She giggles.
"Geez Christian, again?!"
"Yes baby again." And I start to kiss her.
