My eyes flutter open to beautiful sun shining through the window, I roll over to watch my beautiful man sleeping peaceful. How did I get so lucky?
I watch for a few minutes before quietly getting out of bed. I grab his shirt from the floor and put it on and head downstairs to make him breakfast. I stop to put some music on, making sure it only plays in the room I want like Christian showed. Christian had given Taylor and Miss Jones the day off, so it was just us. I busy myself making pancakes, bacon and eggs singing and dancing happily away to the music. I was just cooking the eggs when an arm snaked around my waist.
"Hmmm morning beautiful." Christian smiles as he kisses my neck
"Morning." I smile my hand strokes his neck. He kisses my neck again then pinches a piece of bacon from the plate, I laugh at him as he heads to the fridge.
"Happy birthday." I smile as he pours out two glasses of orange juice.
"Thank you." He smiles. I serve up the food and we sit down to eat. Christian kisses me as I sit down next to him.
Once we were nearly finished I get up and head out the kitchen quickly, "Be right back." Christian watches me go curiously. I quickly garb his presents and carry them back into the kitchen. Christian smiles as he sees them and kisses me when I sit back down.
"Happy birthday." I smile lovingly at him as I hand him his first present. He smiles and takes it; I let him unwarp the model helicopter and hat first before I hand him his main present. He unwraps it and smiles when he sees the word Versace on the box. He looks at me and I know he remembers the night at the charity ball.
"Open it." I smile at him and he lifts the lid to find a sliver v-race sport watch. "Look at the back." I smile as Christian starts to take it out of the box. He looks curiously at me then flips the watch over. His face lights up as he reads the engraving on the back
'Every second I love you more. Ana xx'
Christian pulls me to him and his lips are on mine. Kissing me slow and loving. My arms wrap around his neck as his hands find the small of my back pulling me closer.
"Thank you, I love it, and I love you." Christian breathes pulling out of the kiss giving me his breathtaking smile.
"I love you too." I smile lovingly at him
"Come on." Christian breathes as he stands up and takes my hand leading us out of the kitchen
"The dishes." I smile glancing back at the mess
"Leave it, we'll do it later. Right now, I want you back in bed." Christian grins boyishly as he pulls me to the stairs. I laugh lovingly at him. We didn't leave the bed for the rest of the day, except for some food and drink. We both lay naked, feeding each other food, laughing and talking happily wrapped in our own little bubble of love. Christian slips out of bed, grabs my guitar and hands it to me as he lays back down.
"What?" I laugh as he looks at me expectantly
"I want you to sing me a song, for my birthday." He smiles
"Ok." I laugh and start playing a tune, "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birth…" Christian bursts into laughter and throws a grape at me playfully and I can't help but laugh with him. "What you said a birthday song." I laugh
"seriously sing me something." Christian laughs. I look at him lovingly thinking of what song I could sing. Then I start to play angel from Leona Lewis.
I feel it, you feel it
That this was meant to be.
I know it, you know it
That you were made for me.
We can't deny this any longer
Day by day it's getting stronger.
I want it, you want it
It's what the people want to see.
We're like Romeo and Juliet
Families can't divide us.
Like the tallest mountain or the widest sea
Nothing's big enough to hide us.
When we make love it's overwhelming
I just touch the heavens
You're an angel, you're an angel
I said this world, this world.
Could leave us any day
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.
So we take it each moment our love grows
I see it, you see it,
What we have is made of gold
We're so filled with meaning,
Nothing can make us shallow.
So I hold it, and you hold it
The promise of tomorrow.
When we make love it's overwhelming
I just touch the heavens.
You're an angel, you're an angel
And I said this world, this world
Could leave us any day
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.
I don't need three wishes
Well I just need one
For us to never be finished
For us to never be done
When they say it's over
We'll just say I love you
And when they say it's finished
We'll just keep on building.
And I said this world, this world
Could leave us any day
But my love for you, it will never go away.
And I don't wanna go to sleep
'cause you are like a dream
For every night I say a prayer,
And I swear you are the answer
You're an angel, you're an angel, you're an angel.
Yes you are. You're an angel
"Let's touch the heavens again." Christian grins and I laugh before he's kissing me, the guitar lay forgotten as I lose myself in him.
It's getting late before we resurface to face the world. We shower and get ready for his birthday party at his parents. I choose a dress that has black lace applique bodice with a flowing nude skirt with nude pumps. I put minimal makeup on as I already look flushed from today's activities. I wear my favourite Cartier bracelet and some cute tear drop earring, leaving my hair down. Christian looks mouth-watering in his dark grey trousers and black shirt with top buttons open. I notice he's wearing the watch I brought him and can't help but smile. Today has been magical I don't want it to end.
The sun is starting to set as we get to his parents. There are already several cars in the driveway, Christian pulls his Audi spyder up to the entrance and parks. He walks around and opens my door.
"You look stunning." Christian smiles and kisses me as we wait for the front door to be opened.
"So, do you." I smile at him, "But I like how you were today." I smile biting my lip as I think of my beautiful man lying next to me in all his glory.
"Miss Steele, you're insatiable." Christian beams and kisses me, "Though I'd have to agree." He breathes as the door opens. The blonde girl from the first time I came to his parents was standing there, her eyes running up Christian as he walks us in with his arm around me.
"Happy birthday Mr., Grey." He smiles flirting with her eyes. seriously am I invisible or something? Christian thanks her politely and we move on getting swept up in introductions and birthday congratulations.
"Ana!"
I turn to see Kate and Mia waving from the other side of the room. I say a polite excuse me and walk out of Christians embrace to them.
Hey guys." I smile and hug each of them
"You look incredible." Kate smiles as she looks at my outfit, "Your so glowy" she smiles
"Oh! Are you pregnant?" Mia gushes. I smile at her warmly, I hadn't told anyone about what happened to me. I was still getting use to it, I guess now is a good a time as any.
"No" I smile at her, "I can't get pregnant…not since Texas." I add quietly so we can't be overheard.
"Oh Ana!" Kate gushes and hugs me. Mia joins in the hug
"I'm so sorry. Me and my big mouth."
"It's ok guys honestly." I smile but they don't release me
"Hey, can anyone join in?"
Kate and Mia finally release me to see who had spoken, but I already know. I smile as Christian goes to wraps his arm around me, but Mia grabs him into a huge hug, "Happy birthday brother."
"OK what's going on?" Christian laughs as he knows the hug is more than just a birthday hug.
"Mia thought I was pregnant." I smile at Christian as he finally wraps his arm around me
"Oh!" Christian says as he knows I told them. "It's just a hurdle we need to overcome when it's time." He says lovingly to me and kisses me on the lips. I nod and smile at him.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Kate asks looking at me sadly
"It's not something that you just come out and say…How's that conversation meant to go? Hi how are you? Oh, you know can't get pregnant how about you?" I laugh lightly at her and she nods understandingly with a small smile on her lips. Christian kisses my temple lovingly.
"Who else knows?" Mia asks
"Grace as she saw it on my chart and probably Carrick." I smile at her and I see Kate's hand go to her stomach and I can't help but laugh
"I think you're asking the wrong person Mia." I laugh and Mia and Christian look at me confused.
"What's that your drinking Kate?" I smirk and she goes red. Christian tightens his grip on me. I feel a slow aching pain of loss for my baby, but I'm happy for my best friend.
"How'd you know?" she whispers and Mia bounces up and down excitedly.
"Does Elliot know?" Christian asks as Mia pulls Kate into a hug.
"Yeah, we only found out today." Kate smiles
"How did he take it?" I ask her worriedly I glance over at Elliot who's talking happily away to a couple of guys on the other side of the room.
"Yeah, he was shocked, obviously." Kate says following my gaze. Elliot looks up and sees us looking at him and smiles. He says something to the guys and heads in our direction
"Happy birthday bro." he smiles pulling Christian into a brotherly hug.
"I think I should be congratulating you." Christian smiles at pats the side of his brother's face. Elliot frowns and then it dawns on him. he looks at Kate
"I didn't tell, they guessed." She says putting her hands up in defeat. Elliot walks to Kate and puts his arm around her waist.
"Yeah bit of a shock." Elliot laughs, "but we're good." He smiles lovingly at Kate. "Though we want to keep this quiet for now. As it's still early."
I nod knowing all too well how quickly things can change. Kate sees my misty look and pulls me into a hug.
"I'm ok Kate…I'm so happy for you." I smile hugging her tightly, "Besides I get to spoil your little one." I laugh as we pull out of the hug.
"You are so god mother." Kate beams at me as Christian pulls me to his side again and kisses my temple lovingly. I smile at him, he's worried about me.
"There you are!"
We all turn to see Grace coming up to us.
"Hey Mum." Christian smiles as she pulls him into a hug
"Happy Birthday son." She smiles motherly at him as she pulls out of the hug. "Ana, wonderful to see you again." Grace smiles pulling me into a hug.
"Hello Grace." I smile at her
"Have you had a good birthday?" She smiles at Christian, and I can't help the smile spread across my face as I blush. I bite my lip to try to hide it. Kate is giving me a questionable look.
"It's been heavenly," Christian smiles at his mother and I can't help but laugh. Christian beams at me, Grace hugs us all and then heads off to mingle. Kate gives me a knowing smile and I just laugh at her.
"Come on I need a drink." I laugh and hook my arm in hers, and we all head to the refreshment area. We all chat happily together throughout the night.
"The fireworks are about to begin, if you would all like to make your way to the patio." Carrick calls happily.
"Come on I know a really good place to watch from." Christian whispers in my ear as everyone makes their way out into the yard. Christian guides me upstairs.
"Christian where are we going?" I smile at him,
"You'll see." He smiles as he opens the door on the left. I walk in and see posters hung on the walls, photos and trophies fill the shelves
"Is this your room?" I smile at him.
"long time ago." He smiles. "Come on this way." He walks me to the French doors and opens them up to a beautiful stone balcony, flowers growing up the stone. It was magical. I walk out and I can see the crowd of people gathered below us along the water front. The view from here was stunning.
"It's beautiful." I gasp.
"Thought you would like it." Christian smiles as he wraps me in his arms and kisses my neck. The fireworks start, they light up the sky while reflecting onto the lake. It was amazing. A firework shoots up and bursts into a heart shape, then a boat on the water shines a sign, written in lights.
Ana, will you marry me?
The crowd gasps as they see the sign, turning to find us, but all I can see is those 5 words shining bright.
"Christian." I breathe as I turn to look at him. He's kneeling in front of me holding a small box that has a huge diamond ring sitting in it. I can't help but gasp as tears prick my eyes.
"I told you, all I want is you." He smiles up at me. "You complete me Ana. I love you Ana, I'm lost without you. I want to spend every second of the rest of my life with you. Marry me Ana." He gazes up at me. my heart swells with my love for him.
"Yes." I breathe nodding and smiling at him. A huge smile spreads across his face as he stands up and spins me in excitement, before kissing me slow and lovingly. I can hear the crowd cheer. The fireworks begin to light up the sky again as Christian slides the ring on my finger. It's beautiful, I smile at it shine in the light of the fireworks and kiss him again lovingly cupping his face.
