Hi! Here is a tiny look on her birthday!
Please excuse all grammar mistakes!
Enjoy Xx

CPOV
"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I mutter under my breath when the professor tells us we'll be having our first test that will be a percentage of our grade for the semester on the 10th. I was planning on flying overnight to Seattle and surprising, Ana with breakfast in bed for her birthday, convincing her to ditch school and finally head to the Space Needle. Maybe I can make it up? I will have to talk to the professor when class is over.
The last couple of weeks have been vicious. GEH sold off its' first part of WCI, and we're looking at roughly $1,280,000. That was a higher profit than what I projected, but when I started studying the numbers and moved people around based on their strengths, I was able to sell it for higher. Grandpa Theo even held a party in my honor. Ana was my number one supporter, my personal cheerleader. Every time I look into her eyes, I remember why I have so many sleepless nights and so many hours with my head in the books, feeling like a freight train hit me the the next day and countless cups of coffee. It was for that look… she looked at me so proud. I wanted to beat my fucking chest like a caveman. The first thing I wanted to do was go out to buy my R8, but Ana convinced me to wait a little. I wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much here, and with my weekend spent mostly inside Ana, or inside the books, it would be a foolish purchase, for now. I have however, started looking at apartments in Seattle. I haven't told Ana yet, but I want to surprise her. There is a new apartment building being constructed and I have an appointment to go speak with a realtor about it the next time I'm in Seattle. I was planning on blowing off school on Thursday and Friday, and just having a long weekend with Ana once I took a look at the apartment.
"Yes, Mr. Grey?" The professor asks me while I stand at his desk.
"I was wondering if there were anyway I could maybe take the test earlier or at a later date?"
He takes off his glasses and sets them on his desk. "Why?"
"I wasn't going to be in town. I am planning to go back home on Wednesday night."
"Already? Is there a problem?"
He's freaking out because I want to go home already? I have been back there once already. To see Ana and to finalize the partial sell of WCI .
"No problem, I just need to be home by Thursday."
"What for? I need a valid reason to allow you to make up this test."
I decide honesty is the best route. "It's my girlfriend's birthday and I would very much like to spend it with her."
He looks at me and I get the feeling that he is not as understanding as I thought he'd be.
"If I am understanding correctly, you are telling me that you want to blow off two days of school so you can go and spend time with your girlfriend?"
"Yes. It's her birthday." I answer without missing a beat. "I'm willing to turn in my assignments ahead of time, and take this test ahead of time. During your office hours, or with another class."
"I am sorry to inform you, but that won't be possible. If it had been a family emergency, or something with this WCI company you're working on, it would be a different story. You need to understand Christian that this is college. You're not in high school anymore. It is time for you to take things seriously." He tells me and I am boiling with anger.
"Sir, I believe that me willing to turn in my assignments prior to when they are due and willing to take this test at the moment you say, is me taking responsibility for the actions I am choosing to make. I am not asking for extra time to study or extra time to turn in the assignments. All I am asking is that you let me take the test today, or tomorrow instead of Thursday." I say trying to remain calm.
"And I am telling you, that you, not taking school serious for some crush is not a responsible choice. This is the real world. Other things need to take priority. Your reasons for missing the test do not warrant a makeup test arrangement. If I did it for you, I'd have to do for every student that walks into my class. Simply put, I can't do that."
"She's not some crush sir, she is the love of my life. I am asking that you please reconsider and let me take the test early. I am positive that I can pass it now, if you gave me the opportunity."
"I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do. If you miss it, you can look on the syllabus, it will be 25% of your grade."
I stare at him not knowing what the fuck to do. Who gives a fucking test worth 25% of a grade at the end of the third week of school? We're not even into midterms yet. This is fucking bullshit.
"May I give you some advice?" He asks. I want to say 'no' but decide if I open my mouth a select choice of words would come out, and none of them would be nice.
He continues without my response, "You're 18. This isn't the time to get hung up on girls. You think she's the love of your life now, because you're young. Give it a little time. You're in college. Live a little, go out, meet people around here. Don't make choices based on a high school sweetheart. If it's meant to be, it will be. And if it is, she'll understand that you can't make it." He tells me.
'Fuck you.' Is the only response that comes to mind. But, as I was taught to be respectful to my elders, I nod my head once, press my lips into a hard line and leave his room without a second glance.
I pull out my phone, cursing every damn corner of this place when I can't find a moment of privacy. I lean up against a wall and sigh. Do I call Ana? Do I just text her? What the fuck do I do? I look at the time and decide to text her… she should be at lunch.
Hey, baby. - C
Hi, my love. - A
You're not going to be her love after you talk to her, Grey. I torture myself.
Ana's understanding, she'll understand. Right? Yeah, she understood when you missed her college entry exams, when you were late for prom, when you couldn't spend everyday with her during the summer, when I saw her for two fucking hours during daylight when I was in Seattle last. Sure, she'll still be understanding. I tell myself.
Can you talk? I really need to hear your voice. - C
Not a minute later my phone is ringing and Ana's picture comes across. I can't avoid the smile that has found it's way to my face. She is just so beautiful. Her blue eyes pierce right through me.
"Hey beautiful." I answer the phone.
"Christian, what's wrong? Are you okay?" She asks me in one breath.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little stressed." I answer.
"What's wrong, babe?" She asks.
I can't bring myself to tell her.
"Christian?" She calls for me when I don't answer.
"Baby." I sigh.
"Christian what happened? Are you okay?"
"I promise you I wanted to be there. But the professor just told me we were having a test. I had even purchased the red eye ticket to surprise you, I can send you the confirmation if you'd like. But baby, I fucking swear. I tried to take the test ahead of time. And I would fucking blow it, but it's 25% of our grade."
"Christian, STOP." She interrupts my rambling.
"Calm down, take a breath. Whatever it is, we'll get through it." She tells me in an effort to calm me down.
"I've let you down, baby." I tell her defeated.
"Why?" She asks wearily.
"It's not what you think." I quickly assure her. It pains me that she doesn't fully trust me. "I was planning on surprising you for your birthday. Take you breakfast in bed and spend the weekend with you." I sigh. "But this damn professor announced that there was a test on Thursday, that I can't miss. He won't let me take it before, or make it up later."
"Christian…" She giggles. I smile at my favorite sound. "Don't worry about it. You scared me…" She giggles again.
"Babe, I understand that college comes first"
"You come first." I interrupt her.
"Okay, I come first. But we knew stuff like that was going to happen. I am not going to hold it against you."
"But it's shit, Ana. You don't fucking deserve a non existent boyfriend." I half yell, earning me a look from another student passing by.
"You're not a non existent boyfriend. You exist. We talk every morning and every evening. We text in between classes. We visit each other every weekend."
"It's not fucking good enough, Ana. It's not good enough." I tell her.
"Christian, babe. Stop this. We knew this was going to be hard. Right?" I nod my head even though she can't see. "This is for your future, babe. I get that other things will come first. Believe me I do. I am not mad, or upset with you in anyway. I'm not going to lie, I am sad that you're so far from me. But I understand it." She tells me.
"You come out here." I say almost in a whisper, knowing full well she can't either.
"I would love to, but you know I can't. My dad won't allow it."
"What if I ask him?" I ask her hopeful.
"Do we want to burn those chances already? He's already consented to me flying out there every other weekend." She reminds me.
"I just feel like the world's shittiest boyfriend." And that's a fucked up feeling to have.
"You're not. You're far from it. Babe, I am so sorry, but I have to go. The bell rang like five minutes ago and I've been hiding out. I love you and please, please don't worry about that."
"I love you too, baby."
"Bye MUAAAAH!" She kisses me through the phone and hangs up.
I wanted to be there for other reasons as well. September 10th isn't just Ana's birthday, it's the day she gave it up for me. The day she became a woman in my arms. Something, I will hold very close to my heart. Always.
Now, I need to call Mia and Kate. Great, Kate. But I need her.
The next day.
Well, I would love to be caressing those legs right now. - C
I text Ana back as she informs me that she just got her legs waxed with Kate and Mia.
And they would love for you to caress them. - A
What about higher up? ;) - C
My thighs? Those are waxed too. :) - A
I shake my head, sometimes I don't know if she just likes to tease me, or if she is still naive to my perverted thoughts.
Stop being obtuse, baby. In between your thighs… I want to caress you there too. - C
I feel my dick twitch at the thought.
Christian… - A
I chuckle as I know she's blushing.
It's the truth. It's my favorite spot in the world. I love losing myself in you. - C
You can't text me things like that. I am in the car with Mia and Kate. - A
Later? I really don't mind the phone sex idea. - C
I know you don't. You don't mind a lot of things. - A
Sex during your period is one. - C
I remind her of her aversion of it.
Hey! That's a valid one. It's gross.- A
No it's not, Ana. Don't say that. It's love making, baby. -C
Not that I've done that before, but nothing would be gross with her.
I do wonder sometimes what it would feel like. I'm half tempted to ask Kate, she's done it with Elliot, I'm sure. - A
Fuck, not Kate! I don't want that image in my head.
Now you have to send me a picture of your tits. My brother fucking with Kate is something I want to know nothing about. - C
I am NOT sending you that. - A
I chuckle because I knew she wouldn't. I had to try though.
And don't ask her, let's just try it, Ana. If you don't like it we don't have to do it again. Please? - C
I look up when I bump into someone as I walk into the dorms.
"Shit. Sorry." I immediately say and kneel down to help the girl pick up the books she dropped.
"No problem." She answers.
"I was texting my girlfriend and wasn't watching where I was going." I chuckle.
"Hey, it happens." She walks out of the dorms as I turn to look at my phone again.
Okay. - A
Okay? Like she'll try it okay?! Fuck yeah, she'll try it! I want to fist pump.
I walk into my dorm to find Brandon sitting on his bed lost in deep thought.
"Hey, what's up?" I greet him.
"Nothing… just thinking." He lets out a breath. Well, I wonder what you were thinking about. Actually, I don't think I want to know.
I'm not really for this pansy talk with guys and shit, but he's more like a brother and I sense he needs to talk. I sit on my bed and look at him.
"Spill." I finally say.
"It's Jess, it's this long distance bull shit. " He tells me.
"Yeah, it's a bitch. Right?" I'm right there with him.
"We got invited to a party tonight." He tells me.
"We?" I question.
"Well, I did, but where I go, you go." He points at me.
I chuckle at him. " Yeah fucking right. No way. I'm not going to a party." I tell him. Ana would have my balls. I'm already missing her birthday.
"Ahhh come on. Not you too." He groans.
"What's that mean?" I ask.
"Jess… I told her I was going to a party. She kind of freaked the fuck out. She doesn't like the idea of it."
"Of course not."
"It's not like I am going to cheat on her… I am just going to go have a little fun, let off some steam, you know? Maybe a drink or two."
"Hey." I call to him when I see him trying to check out of the conversation he brought up. "I know you're not going to cheat, but why give the lady ammunition? This situation is so fucked as it is. Jess doesn't need to think about that shit." And Ana doesn't either, that is why I refuse to go.
"What about you and Ana? Does she trust you?"
I laugh at him, "she says she does, but I think it's a crock of shit. Every time something's wrong she thinks I fucked around on her, or something to do with another girl." Pains me every fucking time.
"You think? I think they should trust us and let us guys be guys. Party around. We've been here for five fucking weeks and haven't been to a single party because we've been meeting up with them. Now there is a party tonight, that we can go to and we can't because they don't fucking trust us?" He vents.
"Yo, calm down." I tell him. "What's gotten into you, Brandon? I, for one, am fine without going to a party. I don't need that shit." I'd rather be talking to Ana, or facetiming her, or texting her, just fucking anything that has to do with Ana would be a lot better than a fucking party. Fuck! Even working on GEH shit would be time better spent.
"Listen to you... You used to be Mr. Party fucking central and now? You're telling me that you don't want that?"
"Honestly, I don't. I could give two fucks about it." I have what I need.
"How did you just get it out of your system?" He asks. That's easy, I always wanted alone time with Ana. Even if we weren't fucking. I was just too selfish to share her.
"It's not that it's out of my system, Brandon. I just have to prioritize my shit right now. First Ana, then school, then GEH." I tell him.
"I am just surprised how well you're handling all this shit." He sighs.
"Believe me asshole, yesterday I was two seconds away from saying fuck it and going back to Seattle. Ana, calmed me down and reassured me that we'll make it through this together."
"Maybe I should call Jess then." He almost sounds like it's a pain. What the fuck is wrong with him? Him and Jess have been like bread and butter from the get go.
"Brandon, call Jess… talk to her. Work your shit out." I tell him. He gives me the finger, but grabs his phone and heads out.
I lay down on my bed and pull out my phone to call Ana.
"Hey!" She answers happily.
"Hey, beautiful." I answer and smile like a fucking lunatic who has just found his happy spot. Well, I guess if the shoe fits, wear it... Ana is my happy spot.
"Happy birthday, beautiful." I tell Ana through our face time app. She has barely woken up. Her lips are tinted their natural color, cheeks flushed and hair wild in that sexy way. I love the way she looks when she barely wakes up, or after an earth shattering orgasm. She looks, natural, in a state of pure bliss.
"Thank you, Christian." She blows me a kiss. "But you already told me that at midnight, you didn't need to wait for me to get up for school." She giggles.
"Baby, it's fine. This teacher isn't a dick. He knows I will be a few minutes late." I tell her. "I love looking at you when you first wake up. You're so damn beautiful." She takes my breath away when she bites that lip. I see her cheeks blush a little more.
It amazes me how we can be so intimate, but yet me telling her she's beautiful still causes her to blush.
"Well, Kate insisted she pick me up today. I have a feeling Mia is joining her and I don't need that duo." She groans.
"Be a good sport." I tell her.
She narrows her eyes slightly and I resist the urge to chuckle. "What?" I ask innocently.
She tilts her head "What do you know?" She asks slowly.
I shake my head no. "I'm pleading the fifth."
"Ugh Christian." She groans.
"Baby, I have to go. Have a wonderful day. I love you."
"You too, babe. I love you too."
Not a minute after we turn off our apps my phone vibrates,
Another day until I am in your arms again. *Sigh* - A
Too damn long, baby. Too damn long. - C
Ana POV
"What's this?" I screech as I walk down the stairs.
There is a giant and when I say giant, I mean freaking huge white plush teddy bear sitting on the middle of the living room floor.
"It's your man, Steele." Kate yells excitedly.
"Happy birthday, Ana!" Mia yells right in my ear as she went to get me out of bed.
I thought they were only picking me up! I am still in pajamas for goodness sake.
"Christian?" I smile widely.
"Yep. We coordinated." Mia says chirpy as hell.
I run the rest of the way to the bear and pull the card out of the bears' tie.
Baby, I am sorry, I can not be here, but please know, no matter the distance, our love is what makes up the difference. Happy Birthday, My love.
Love, Your Christian.
P.S. Don't forget to take care of the teddy's heart, hug him tight and he just might, tell you something that will fill you with delight.
I feel the tears pull at my eyes because I would love for him to be here, but no way in hell was I going to let him miss a test and then get on his instructors bad side. I go over to the teddy and hug him tight. Just like the card said.
In the most sincere voice I hear "I love you." And with that my tears fall.
"Was that…?" Kate's smile reaches ear to ear.
"Mhmm." Mia answers. "Christian had it specially made with his voice." She places her hand over heart and smiles at me sweetly.
"Don't cry, Steele. That's so sweet."
"I know. I just wish he were here." I'm honest.
"He wishes he were here too." Mia says.
"Here. Take a picture so I can send it to him." I give Kate my phone. I sit on the teddy and give him a hug. Hearing 'I love you' again, I smile and hold him tighter.
"Sent!"
"What?" I widen my eyes. "Kate, what if I look terrible?"
"Ana, please… the guy sees you before you have time to brush your teeth in the morning. Trust me he doesn't care that you look terrible."
"I look terrible?!" I almost yell. I look down I have on white shorts and a white T shirt. My hair is down against my back.
"You look fine, Annie." Ray, Vivian and Mason join us.
"Happy Birthday, sweetheart." Ray engulfs me in a hug.
"Thanks, dad." I look around him, "Where are my gifts?"
"You said you didn't want anything!" He exclaims.
"You weren't supposed to listen." I put my hand on my hips. My dad always gets me something.
"Vivian, were you like this?" He points to me. "Say one thing and mean another? Is this just a woman thing?" He grumbles. "I don't get it, if we listen we weren't supposed to, if we don't listen we're supposed to. Who the hell understands you guys? I don't know how Christian puts up with you." He jokes.
"Because he loves me." I answer.
"Well, what did Kate get you?" He asks as he crosses his arms.
"Well… she uhmm." Shit did she get me something? Not that it matters, I just need a come back for him.
"Steele, I got you a Givenchy Bag." She gives me a pink sparkly bag.
"See, she got me a Givenchy Bag." I look at him. He just smiles.
And then it hits me, "You what?!" I scream at Kate.
"You didn't even know I wanted that." I turn to look at my dad who has the biggest grin on his face.
"Dad." I hug him tightly. "You listened to me." I recall a conversation over dinner when I was talking about Kate's new black leather Givenchy bag that is amazing.
"I always listen to you, Annie." He hugs me tight. "Happy birthday, baby girl."
"Thank you, daddy."
"And…. Kate and I got you the shoes to match!" Mia squeals as she gives me a matching sparkling bag.
"More shoes? Ana… does Christian know about this habit?" Mason laughs. "He'll be bankrupt before he can even start up."
I'd give him the finger, but I know my father wouldn't appreciate it. So I settle for rolling my eyes at him.
"Hey… just saying."
"And this is from Mason and I." Vivian hands me a rectangular box.
I open it and laugh when I see a pair of sunglasses.
"We can't have the daughter of Steele & Grey not looking on point." Mason mocks me.
"You heard?" I tell him.
"Ana, have you ever noticed your voice squeaks and carries on throughout the whole house?" He laughs. "I'm sure Christian heard you in Boston."
"My voice does not squeak." Ironically, I squeak causing everyone to laugh at me.
"I rest my case." Mason says, "But no, your door was open when I went to talk to you the other day and I heard just the tail end of that comment when I was walking away."
"Stop picking on me." I whine.
"You're the birthday girl … we have to." Kate tells me.
"Okay, let's leave her alone. Ana, I made you some chocolate chip pancakes, and I am sure we have some whip cream." Vivian places her arm around my shoulder.
I am so grateful that Vivian is in Ray's life. In my life. I love my mom and miss her dearly. But knowing her, I would have fruit salad with a candle in the middle of a piece of pineapple.
You have to watch you figure, Ana. I hear her voice in my head. She's not here. Pancakes... here I come!
Once I get to school, I head to my locker to put my books in. I let out a yelp when I see something hanging right on the edge.
Upon further inspection I see that there are a bunch of Hershey's Kisses tied together. On the very top there is a note that says
Let the countdown begin, each kiss represents an hour 'till I am by your side.
You should know who, baby.
I love you, always.
I take out my phone to send him a text and see that he has already sent me a few texts back from the picture of the teddy and I.
Damn baby, that teddy is one lucky fucker. - C
I hope Mason didn't see you like that, Ana. - C
I roll my eyes and completely ignore that one.
Fuck, baby. I have to take a test soon and you have me so fucking hard. - C
I can't take my eyes off of your legs. You know where I want them right? - C
I smile to myself. We have been becoming a little more braver in our texts. Well he always has, but I have been becoming braver. Including a little sexting. He always tells me to turn on the camera because he wants to see me hot and bothered for him, but that shit is pure torture. He gets me worked up and he is so far away. We have talked about me touching myself, but he insists that he wants to assist me in my first time doing it. One, how the hell can I get it wrong? And two, how can I do that in front of him? You come all over him, you can touch yourself in front of him! My inner goddess, who is sitting on a chair with legs wide open, pants.
Around your waist? - A
I text him back.
After first period, I pull my phone out to look at his response.
Around my waist, around my neck, around my head, over my shoulders, your choice baby. - C
But they will be around me, one way or another. My cock is so fucking hard thinking about it. - C
I text back;
Only you. - A
Damn right.- C
His reply was immediate.
Aren't you supposed to be in class? - A
Yeah, but it's college it's not like they're going to take my phone away. - C
What if you miss something? - A
I respond.
It would be worth missing as long as I am talking to my sexy as fuck girlfriend. - C
Get your head in those books, Mr.! - A
I'd rather have my head between your thighs. I miss you, so fucking much. - C
I feel my panties beginning to drench and I know this conversation has to stop, plus it's time for my next class.
Gotta go. TTYL. Love you! - A
Friend Request: Eric Anderson
I look at my Facebook App.
"Come on, Ana. It's just hanging out at my house." Kate says drawing my attention away from my phone.
"Yeah? We all know what 'hanging out at Kate's' translates to… 'drinking at Kate's'" I laugh.
"Whatever you weren't complaining the last time."
"God, don't remind me. My head's still spinning from that one." I tell her.
"And you didn't even wake up with a hangover. You lucky bitch."
"It wasn't luck. Christian kept making me drink water after every damn shot. And gave me advil."
"You know, he wasn't always like that." She takes a bite of salad.
"Yeah?" I take a sip of water.
She finishes chewing and elaborates, "I hated your guys' relationship at first. He was such a damn player, Ana. Always partying, always drinking, always"
"Kate… for real? I thought we were passed this?" I interrupt her. I don't need a walk down memory lane. I've heard all this before.
"We are. I am. I'm just saying. I'm happy that I haven't had to chop of his dick yet."
"And you won't."
"I know. I see it. I just want you to know, I'm happy for you. Even if I have to put up with him because of you." She tells me.
"Kate, he's not that much of a prick." I tell her.
"No. But he hurt my brother. And I had to watch that." She looks down.
"It wasn't just his fault. He told me he didn't even know they had something going on." I defend Christian.
"Doesn't help. Ethan was heartbroken over that bitch. You know, her and I were friends. I kind of looked up to her. She didn't even like Christian. She always complained about Elliot's squirmy brother. And one day, bam! She's all over him."
And I really don't need to hear that. It's over with. I remind myself.
"I can't believe some of the things we did. I always went along with it because I thought she was great." Kate shakes her head. "We ruined Ethan's relationship with Nicole because she told me some stupid shit. She's a manipulating bitch. Always has been. Always twisting the fucking truth to get her way."
"Kate, where's all this coming from? Ethan's moved on. I'm sure… Elena's moved on too." At least I hope, we haven't heard from her in a while. Not that it's been a problem for me.
"She called me the other day."
Whoa. What?!
"Why?" I ask tentatively. She knows Kate is my best friend.
"I dunno, it was weird ass shit. Started talking to me like if nothing happened. I told her I had nothing to say and hung up."
Weird.
"Maybe she wants to … reconcile your friendship?"
Please be wrong, please be wrong.
"Even if she did, I don't. She messed with Nicole, then with Ethan, and even tried to fuck around with you. I'm done with her, been done with her."
"Whatcha guys talking about?" Mia joins us.
"Elena Lincoln."
"Ugh, why even waste your breath. So… Halloween Party? Parents will be out of town." Mia effectively changes the subject.
"That's over a month away." I remind her.
"So? These things take time, Ana. Come on, I'm the Grey's last one. This party has to be epic. I've recruited Elliot and Christian's help already."
"Can we get through one thing at a time?" Kate laughs. "Ana is refusing drinks tonight." Kate tells Mia.
"Hey! I thought you said 'hanging out'! " I air quote.
"Whatever, bitch. Same thing."
We all laugh and continue with our lunch.
How's my birthday girl doing? - C
Missing her boyfriend. :( - A
Baby, you don't know how much I wish I was there. - C
Stop. I didn't mean for you to feel bad. I miss you all the time when you're not here. - A
How'd you do on the test? - A
I aced it. I'm sure. I never even doubted an answer. I could have taken it on Tuesday and been fine. - C
So damn cocky, I giggle.
Kate wants me to hangout at her place tonight. - A
It's a school night. -C
I'd bet money it wouldn't matter what night it was if I was hanging out with him.
And? - A
And? And you need to rest. Or do homework. - C
It's done. I got it done in study hall. - A
Does it have to be at her house? You know her definition of hanging out, is hanging out with a bottle of vodka. - C
I laugh because it's so true. At least he didn't go all nuclear on me.
You're right, babe. I wouldn't dare drink without you by my side ;) . - A
I wasn't going anyway. I overheard that chocolate cake was on the menu today.
So… Elena called her. - A
I thought hard about bringing this up with him, but after lunch it was the only thing I could think about. If Elena called Kate, what if she called Christian too?
"Hi." I answer Christian's call.
"Baby, she hasn't called me." He says in a rush.
"What makes you think I was thinking that?" I smile.
"Because I know you." He chuckles.
"True." I laugh with him.
"What are you doing?" I ask
"Besides thinking about you? Nothing really. What about you baby?"
"Christian, thank you for my Teddy." I tell him as I play with it's bow.
"Anything for you. Baby, are you going out to Kate's tonight?"
"Would it upset you if I did?" I ask.
"No. But I don't want you drinking. Who's all going to be there?"
"Don't worry about it. They are going to come here. Vivian is baking a cake."
"Let me guess… Chocolate?" He chuckles again.
"Mhmmm."
"Girls and their damn chocolate."
"Hey… you supply me with it."
"Because I know how you get without it! Baby, I gotta go. I will see you later."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too." He hangs up.
See me later? Assuming he meant 'talk' to me later, I shrug it off.
"Oh god." I moan when I take a bite of cake.
"This is soooo gooood." Mia moans.
"I can feel the cavity starting to form already." Mason says.
"Who asked you?" Kate talks with cake in her mouth.
"Kate, have you always been this snobby?" Mason turns to her.
"Yup." Mia and I answer together.
"I'm just saying, Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake? With all the little Ferrero Rocher's on top. That just yells cavity."
"It yells calories too." I say, and suck the chocolate off my fork. "But, I don't care… this is soooooo gooooooood." I take another bite.
"I'm glad you like it sweetheart." Vivian smiles at me.
"Did you speak to your mom today?" My dad asks.
"Yeah, she called me earlier." I answer.
"Did you ask her where you're present was?" He asks.
"Nope."
"Oh, so it's just me you squeeze presents out of?" He huffs joking.
"No. I just know her. It's probably on the way."
"Well… at least I beat her to it." He mumbles.
Kate and I laugh. My dad and mom always battle it out when it comes to out doing each other. So far, Ray's in the lead with the car for Christmas.
"It's not a competition, Ray." Vivian pats his hand.
"Dad… you know I really don't care, right?" I tell him sincerely. I really don't need anything. I just go along with it because they do.
"Ana… we're just giving you a hard time. Relax. Enjoy your day." He smiles back at me.
It would be better if Christian were here. I make a mental note to save him a piece of cake. He'd enjoy it.
Thursday-Friday during the night.
APOV
"Wake up, baby." I can hear Christian in my dreams.
"Mmmm." I mumble and try to get comfortable again.
"Come on, baby. Wake up, please." I hear right in my ear, I can feel his breath on my ear.
It's not until I feel light kisses on my throat that I actually open my eyes and realize that Christian is actual here.
"Christian!" I squeal.
"Shhhh."
He presses his lips against mine, I open my mouth slightly and he takes full advantage by sticking his tongue in.
"Mmmm." I moan. "What are you doing here?" I ask and look over at the clock 12:01am. I was expecting him tomorrow evening.
"I got here before midnight and wanted to give you a really late birthday kiss, but you refused to wake up." He chuckles.
"Sorry, I thought I was dreaming." I tell him.
"I still gave you one, but you probably won't remember it."
"You're here?" I suppose this is what he meant about 'see' you later.
"Yep. Are you feeling okay?" He asked amused.
"Yeah, I just didn't expect you until tomorrow night. What about classes? And, wait… I spoke to you two hours ago."
He looks at me with a sly grin. "Surprise! I had a layover in Salt Lake City. I used the time to call you."
"You're full of surprises today."
"And I am glad you liked him." He says pointing to the Teddy that I tucked under the covers next to me.
"I loved him. He's my size." I look toward the teddy bear. "But I love what he says the most." I look back at Christian.
"He only says the truth and baby, he is past your size. You're so tiny. I feel like I can roll you into a ball and put you in my pocket." He laughs.
I roll my eyes at him. I am not super tiny. "What about school?" I change the subject.
"I don't have Mr. Asshole on Fridays, and I turned in my assignments earlier for the classes I do have."
"When did you even have time to do that?"
"After I get off the phone with you, before I start my first class." He shrugs "Whenever I can."
"Christian, don't over do it. I understood honestly that you couldn't be here." I rest my palm on his cheek.
"I wanted to be here." The look he has in his eye tells me just how sincere he is. I can do nothing more than smile and feel my insides scatter around.
"Okay." I whisper and smile.
"Since you're here, where did you say you wanted my legs?"
He pulls my bottom lip from my teeth's grasp and runs his thumb over it, tugging it gently.
"Anywhere around me, but not here." He answer huskily.
"Huh?"
"I can't do that with you here."
"What do you mean?" I ask utterly confused.
"Ray's here."
"And?"
"And… I value my balls, I'm sure you do too."
"That's never stopped you before." I tell him quite annoyed that I need him, in that way, and he is making it quite difficult.
"When have we ever fucked in here while Ray was home?" He asks.
"When…" I start to answer, but fall short.
"You can't possibly expect me to remember, we've had a lot of sex." I counter.
He raises an eyebrow at me "I remember each time, Ana." He says it so seductively that I can't think straight.
"Of course you would, you have hyperthymesia, or whatever it's called."
"No, I don't. I just remember everything that has to do with you."
I want to, but can't argue with him. He does remember everything, from how I like my tea to what tampons I use, which can be embarrassing.
"Okay, okay, but I kind of … need you." I bite my lip. I need him so bad. I fee my panties drenched already.
He groans "Baby, I can't take you while your dad is here."
"Please?" I beg him.
He pulls the cover off me and runs his fingers down my exposed legs, causing tiny bumps to arise. He has barely touched me and feel like I am on fire inside. With each stroke, his fingers raise higher and I can feel my breathing becoming slightly labored in anticipation. His fingers finally reach my wet sex, I feel his finger slide from my clit, down to my entrance and he pushes it in.
"Fuck, Ana. You're so wet."
"Mhm." I moan in response. Suddenly he removes his finger and I open my eyes.
"Let's go." He tells me in my ear, while he picks me up bridal style.
"Where are we going?" I ask as I wrap my arms around his neck.
"Boat house."
No complaints from me!
Thank you for all of your reviews. The rude comments really took a toll on me, but you guys helped me feel better about it. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
Always!
This was just a short 'missed birthday' chapter. let's face it. It happens in a long distance relationship. It is what it is...
