A.N
I've decided to skip the tour around Harvard and go straight to Ana's birthday with the slight mention of Harvard 😊
Thank you all for your reviews, you guys rock! I am trying to get these chapters out as quick as possible and your reviews are spurring me on to write more but as usual life gets in the way! and for those who follow me and know my writing, I like it to be perfect! (Or near as)
The next chapter is going to be quite lengthy so please bear with me with the updates and I've also had one of my wisdom teeth out (another one out next week) so depending on how I'm feeling I should be getting a chapter out to you before Christmas. (Fingers crossed)
Much Love

Feeling kisses up her naked back, Ana's eye fluttered open before she smiled to herself and let her eyes fall to a close once more. "Hmm morning." She whispered sleepily as she just happily enjoyed the feel of her boyfriend's lips against her skin.
"Good morning, birthday girl. Happy birthday baby." Christian whispered hovering over Ana as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Got to be said, waking up to you in the morning is the best feeling ever." He happily told her with a smile. They were in their room at the Fairmount. He booked it especially for her birthday as he had a lot of special things planned for Ana's 18th. They left school yesterday afternoon and now he had the whole weekend planned for her birthday.
Turning over, making sure the sheet was wrapped around her, Ana smiled up to him as she leant up slightly and kissed him. "I love waking up next to you too." She whispered against his lips.
"When we have our own place at Harvard, we will wake up next to each other every single day." He promised with a smile as he pecked her lips again.
"You think we will be able to find a place close enough to campus?" Ana asked as she laid back down and gazed up to him.
"I know we will." He told her confidently. "It's our destiny." He teased with a smirk.
"You're so cheesy." Ana giggled up to him before smiling and sighing happily. "I can't wait to start our next chapter together. Seeing Harvard with you was just perfect. Though think my dad may have some separating issues."
"I don't blame him but he'll be fine."
Ana laughed as she looked up to him. "Your mom cried…how is she going to cope with you gone?"
"They were tears of happiness."
"They were tears of her baby boy growing up and going off to college."
"Yes, see, happiness."
Ana giggled and shook her head before she smiled as Christian captured her lips. Happily kissing him back she moved her arms around his neck, pulling his body closer to hers. She wanted to feel him against her.
Grinding his body into hers, he felt himself hardening by the second before he slowly slipped himself inside Ana, smirking as she moaned against his lips, he quickly got rid of the sheet that was covering her top half, he wanted to see all of her. "God, I love the feel of you around me." He groaned as he slowly started to thrust deep inside her. "I can't wait to spend every morning buried deep inside you as we start our day." He whispered as he moved his lips to her neck before playfully biting down on it.
Moving her legs around Christian's waist, Ana pulled him as close as she could, moaning at how deep he was. She loved the feel of him inside her. Loved how he filled her. At his words, Ana couldn't help but let out a loud moan. She loved it when she spoke about their future, as weird as it sounded, it turned her on! "Oh yes." She moaned as he bit down on her neck, her legs tightening around him as her movements began to increase.
His hand moving to her hip to try and slow her movements down, he didn't want to blow too soon, he trailed his lips back up to Ana's, capturing her lips in a heated kiss as he kept his movements at a steady pace. He knew it was driving Ana crazy but he didn't want them to rush this. He wanted to make love to his girlfriend on her birthday because there was going to be plenty of times, they would be doing this today, well…at least he hoped! He wanted this to be a birthday he didn't want her to forget.
"Christian…" Ana groaned as he slowed down her movement. "Please…faster…" She begged as she clung onto him tightly.
"Not yet." He whispered against her lips, his thrusts getting harder but still maintain the same speed. "I want you to feel me of every minute of every hour today. Every time you move, I want you to feel me. Remember this moment when I made love to you for the first on your eighteenth birthday."
"You keep talking like that and this is going to be over way to soon." She moaned as her head fell back on the pillow, her eyes rolling to the back of her head. He always knew how to turn her on, knew how to say the right words to nearly make her explode.
Christian smirked as he heard her, pressing light kisses against her neck he kissed her back up to her lips, his movements slowly getting harder and faster.
As Christian finally upped his movements, Ana moaned loudly against his lips, her nails digging into his back as she moved her hips rapidly against hers, she could feel her orgasm building.
As Ana upped her own movements against him, Christian groaned before he finally gave in and thrusted as fast as he could, giving her the friction, she so desperately needed.
"Of fuck…oh yes…" She moaned out, as she broke away from his lips to try and catch her breath back. "Don't stop." She begged, a sheer line of sweat coating her body.
"I got you baby." He whispered to her, trapping her lip between his teeth as he gently tugged it.
"Christian." Ana moaned as she felt her orgasm rippling through her body, her legs squeezing Christian tightly, keeping his body tightly to hers.
Feeling Ana squeeze him set off his own orgasm as he poured himself into her, her name rolling off his tongue as he pressed his forehead to hers. "I love you so much." He whispered to her as his thrusts slowly came to a stop, his head moving to the crook of her neck, softly stroking her sides.
"I love you too. More than anything." She whispered with a smile up to him, her fingers moving to his hair as she gently scratched his scalp, just laying there, enjoying the aftermath of their love making.
"Marry me." Christian whispered.
Stopping her movements with her hands, Ana looked to him. Did she just hear him right? "What?" She whispered.
Lifting his head up, he looked to her. "Marry me." He stated before he chuckled a little as he gently pulled out of her. Getting out of the bed he went over to his overnight bag he dug through it before he moved back onto the bed where Ana was now leaning up on her elbows, looking at him as if he had grown an extra head. "I was planning on asking you later, but this just seemed like the perfect moment." He opened the box, revealing the beautiful diamond ring inside. "Ana, I love you. I love you more than anything. I know we've been in school together for a long time, but since that day in school…that moment, I just fell utterly and completely head of heels in love you. It probably seems crazy but I know that you are it for me. You are the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want us to build a life, a life we have talked about so many times, I want to give you the world. I want us to have beautiful children, I want to grow old with you. Anastasia Rose Steele…you are the love of my life…. will you marry me?"
"Yes." Ana immediately answered. There was no doubt in her mind that Christian was the man for her. She couldn't imagine being with anyone else. Christian was her everything. Did she think it would happen this soon? No. But that didn't mean it would hinder her decision in any way. She loved this man and she was going to spend the rest of her life with him.
As the three little letters left her lips, Christian's face lit up as he cupped her face and crashed his lips to hers. He was praying she would say yes, but a small part of him was always worried that she wasn't ready.
Ana giggled against his lips and happily moved her arms around his neck as she happily kissed him back. "I love you, Christian. So much. Never worry or doubt my love for you." She whispered to him, pressing her forehead to his.
Christian couldn't help but smile against her lips as he heard her. Breaking the kiss, he smiled down to her. "I love you too baby." He whispered to her as he sat back a little, taking the ring out of the box he smiled as he slid the ring onto her finger, smiling seeing it was a perfect fit.
Looking down to the ring on her finger, Ana couldn't help but smile, tears welling in her eyes. "It's beautiful." She whispered gazing down to her ring.
"Hey why the tears?" He asked looking to her.
"Happy tears." She whispered up to him with a smile. "Never in a million years did I think you would ask me to marry you." She chuckled a little and shook her head.
"Like I told you all those months ago when we first started dating…you're it for me."
"You're it for me too." She whispered to him before she smiled and leant forward and kissed him again. "Best birthday ever."
Christian grinned against her lips before he smiled. "It's only just beginning." He mused with a smirk to her before he kissed her again and smiled. "How about I order us some room service? I can give you your presents while we wait for it to arrive."
Ana looked to him. "Presents? Christian we're spending the weekend here and you just asked me to marry you…I don't need anything else…"
Christian smirked. "Maybe not, but I have a lot of surprises up my sleeve baby." Pecking her one more time he got up from the bed and slipped on his boxers before he went into the main room and grabbed the menu, looking at their breakfast options. Deciding on a bit of everything he rang through before he joined his fiancé back in the bedroom, seeing she had her robe on he smiled as he went over to his bag and took out three gift bags. Heading over to the bed he climbed on next to her and smiled as he handed her the gift bags. "Happy birthday, beautiful."
Ana smiled to him as she took the bags and leant in and kissed him. "Thank you." She whispered to him. Taking the first bag she pulled out the birthday card and smiled. Opening it she smiled as she read through the card. He always knew how to make her heart skip a beat.
Happy birthday my birthday girl.
Your second birthday together and each day gets more and more incredible with you and I'm so excited to see where our future leads. Our future is going to be incredible; I just know it. We have so many good things to look forward to and I'm so excited.
I have so many things planned for you today and don't even think about moaning about it, I know what you are like haha!
I love you baby
I hope today is as special as you are.
All my love
Christian xxx
"Thank you." She whispered as she leant over and stole another kiss off him. Sitting back down she grabbed the gift bag and took the contents out. Taking the wrapping paper off, she couldn't help but blush at the lingerie that Christian had bought her. It was red and black lace with what looked like diamonds in between the breasts. "Christian this is beautiful…" She looked to him and smiled. "Thank you." She cast her eyes back down to the lingerie in her hands. It was a perfect mix of sexy and seduction. She knew as soon as she wore this, Christian wouldn't be able to keep his hands off her. "I might wear this today." She mused with a smirk to him.
Christian's eyes darkened. "I hope you will."
"We'll see." She mused with a smirk to him before she moved onto the next gift bag. Pulling out the familiar gift bag she shot Christian a look before she opened up the box and smiled seeing an 18 charm. She loved it when he bought more charms for her bracelet. It was their memories together. Memories that they were building together as a couple.
"And this is a bonus one…" Christian whispered pulling out another box and passing it to her.
Ana looked to him before she took the box from him and slowly opened it, seeing it was an 'engagement' ring charm she couldn't help but smile. "Good thing I said yes then isn't it." She mused with a smirk to him.
"You have no idea how much I've been stressing over if you said yes or not." He admitted with a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I know we are young…but I love you so much and just know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." She told him with a smile before she looked back down to the charm. "I love it, it's beautiful, thank you."
"You don't need to thank me." He told her with a smile. "Now open your last present." He mused with a grin to her.
Ana smiled and shook her head before she picked up her last present. Opening it she then frowned a little in confusion before looking to him. "A key?"
Christian smiled as he handed her a little leaflet.
Taking the leaflet, she flicked through it, confusion filling her face. She didn't get it. "Whose place is this?" She asked as she kept looking through. "It's a beautiful place."
"It's ours." He confirmed with a smile.
Ana's head shot up. "What? No way."
"Way." He laughed with a smile. "That is our new apartment that is situated just two blocks from the Harvard campus. Call it a joint birthday and graduation present."
"This is crazy, Christian how can we afford this?"
"It's all paid for. I don't want you to be worrying about anything like that. The place is ours."
"But…"
"No buts." Christian cut in. "As from the end of August, this is going to be our home."
"You are incredible." Ana smiled as she leant forward and kissed it. "I love it. I love you." She mumbled against his lips. "Thank you, for everything."
Moving his arms around her, Christian happily smiled against her lips. "I love you too. More than anything. One weekend we could headed up to Harvard so you could see the place beforehand. Change anything you don't like."
Ana shook her head. "We can worry about that another time. All that matters is that we have a place to live…" She narrowed her eyes at him. "Hang on. When I said earlier about us finding a place to live and you went all cheesy on me and said it was destiny, you were winding me up."
Christian laughed and shook his head. "I couldn't resist." He smiled and pecked her. "How about we get dressed before room service arrives. We have reservations at lunch time but I want to take you somewhere first."
"Where too?" She asked curiously to him.
"Surprise." He told her with a smile before playfully tapping her bum. "Now you go and have a quick shower while I wait for room service then we can get this birthday show on the road."
Ana couldn't help but giggle. "You are too much."
"I know. But it's one of the reasons why you love me." He happily mused to her.
Ana shook her head before she smiled and climbed off the bed and headed to the bathroom.
Watching Ana go into the bathroom, Christian couldn't get rid of the smile on his face. She said yes. He couldn't believe she actually said yes! He had a fiancé! Sighing happily to himself. He couldn't wait to spend the rest of the day with her. As the door went, he got up from the bed and went to the door, opening it for the room service. "Just by the table please." He told the guy before he grabbed his wallet and too out some money. Passing it to him as a thank you he then closed the door after him before heading over to the food, everything smelt amazing.
"Wow something smells good in here." Ana commented as she came into the main room, ruffling her wet hair with a towel. She had her robe back on, little did Christian know she had slipped on her new lingerie.
"And you look just as edible, baby.," He mused with a smirk to her as his eyes roamed her body.
"Behave." Ana giggled as she moved over to him, moving her arm around his waist she smiled. "This looks incredible."
"Only the best for my fiancé." He beamed with a proud grin down to her. "Now you start digging in while I have a quick shower."
"Okay, don't be long." She told him with a smile as she pressed a kiss to his lips before she happily began to dig into the food, grabbing a croissant and the small pot of jam. Grabbing the knife, she cut the croissant open and spread the jam before she happily tucked into it, curling up on the sofa as she smiled to herself as she caught a glimpse of her beautiful engagement ring. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world right now and she felt like she was in a dream. Sighing happily to herself she couldn't help but smile. She couldn't wait to tell Kate. She knew she would be in serious wedding planning mode!
As Christian came out of the shower ten minutes later, Ana had already tucked into another croissant as well as some other pastries. Seeing him with the towel wrapped around his waist and his body still slightly wet, Ana couldn't help but eye fuck him. She loved his body. She just wanted to pounce on him but she knew he had plans so she had to behave.
"Like what you see baby?" He teased as he grabbed a pastry of his own and took a bite out of it.
"Yep." She replied, popping the p with a smirk to him. "A lot."
Christian smirked to her. "Well you can show me how much later tonight when we arrive back here."
"Don't worry. I will." She happily told him before she finished off her cup of tea. "Okay I'm going to blow dry my hair and start getting ready…" She looked to him. "Is there a dress code for lunch?" She asked.
Christian smiled sheepishly at her. "I may have one more present for you."
"You're spoiling me too much."
"No such thing." He dismissed before he took Ana's hand and led her back into the bedroom, where hanging up was a beautiful red cocktail dress.
Seeing the dress, Ana's mouth dropped open. "Christian…it's beautiful." She whispered in awe as she stepped closer to the dress and gently touched the fabric.
"I love it when you wear red…" He commented as he moved behind her, moving his arms around her waist he pressed a kiss to her neck.
Turning in his arms, Ana moved her arms around his neck as she pressed a loving kiss to his lips. "I love it, thank you."
"You don't need to thank me, baby. Only the best for my girl." He whispered against her lips before he playfully tapped her bum. "Now you get yourself pampered and ready. We will leave in about an hour."
"Okay." Ana whispered before she smiled and pecked his lips once more. "Now leave me be to get pampered." She shooed him away.
Christian chuckled and shook his head. "Call me if you need anything." He told her with a smile before he grabbed a pair of boxers and his trousers and headed back into the living room. He knew if he stuck around, they would not end up going anywhere apart from christening every surface in this hotel room.
As Christian left her to it, Ana smiled to herself as she grabbed the hairdryer and began to dry her hair. She had no idea where Christian was taking her but she gathered it was somewhere fancy if she was wearing a cocktail dress. Sitting down at the vanity she got to work at getting her hair all blow dried before she turned on her curlers ready to curl her hair. She knew Christian loved it when her hair was curled.
As the curlers heated up, she worked on doing her make up. She was never one to wear a lot of make-up so she was keeping it simple yet elegant. She wanted it to look like she had something on. Applying everything on apart from her lipstick, she then worked on curling her hair, making sure every strand was curled before she lightly ran her fingers through it so the curls were slightly looser.
Getting up from the vanity she went over to the dress and took it off the hanger before slipping it on. It hugged her curves in all the right places and the slit up the side of the one leg that stopped mid-thigh added extra sexiness to the dress. She liked how the dress came with straps but could opt for the strapless look if she wanted and she planned on going on strapless tonight, knowing it would probably drive Christian wild, especially with how the dress hugged her breasts.
Once she was done, she applied some red lipstick before she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled to herself. Happy with how she looked she then slipped on her heels, a simple black pair that matched her black clutch before she headed out to Christian. Seeing him on the couch, dressed in his trousers and shoes but no shirt, she couldn't help but check him out before she then cleared her throat to make her presence known.
As Ana cleared her throat, Christian looked up from his phone, his mouth instantly dropping. "Holy fuck…" He mumbled before he got to his feet and looked to her, happily eye fucking her. He couldn't help himself. "Baby you look…. fuck I'm speechless…" He told her as he moved in front of her.
Ana couldn't help but smile. Running her hands up his naked torso, her eyes met his. "Are you going out shirtless Mr Grey?"
Resting his hands on her hips he smirked. "No baby. I just didn't want my shirt creased." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Give me ten minutes then we can go." Slipping away from her he headed into the bedroom and put on a fresh shirt, leaving three buttons undone before he slipped on his suit jacket. He couldn't wait to see her reaction when she had discovered her surprise. Styling his hair into the 'just fucked' look as Ana called it, knowing it was her favourite he put on his shoes before heading back into the main room, slipping his wallet in the inside of his jacket. "All set baby?" He asked looking to her.
Seeing him dressed in the suit, Ana internally groaned. Was he seriously trying to kill her? Shaking the dirty thoughts that were occupying her head she then smiled to him and nodded. "I am." She smiled as she moved over to him, running her hands over his chest. "You look so handsome."
"Thank you." Christian smiled and leant down to press a soft kiss to her lips. "Now let's get out of here because the sooner we leave the sooner we can come back here and then our private party can start." He smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at her.
Ana couldn't help but giggle. "Can't wait." She mused with a grin to him as she happily kissed him back before linking onto his arm. "Come on then, fiancé. I am eager to see what you have up your sleeve."
Grinning down to her he happily led her to the door, grabbing the room key on the way out he made sure the door was locked before happily escorting his beautiful fiancé out of the hotel and into the waiting car. When she was securely inside, he made his way around to the other side and passed the driver their destination.
"So secretive." Ana mused with a shake of her head.
"Well I want you to be surprised." He told her with a smirk before he happily took her hand in his and interlaced their fingers before bringing her hand up to his lips, brushing his lips against her knuckles before kissing her engagement ring. "You look so incredible."
"And it's only lunch." Ana chimed looking to him.
"Well yes but we will be celebrating plenty tonight don't you worry."
"I'll hold you to that, Grey."
"You do that. Future Mrs Grey."
"Hmm I like the sound of that." She hummed as she smiled to him before she happily gazed at her engagement ring. "I love my ring." She told him with a smile. "It's so…me."
"It is. I wanted it to be perfect."
"It is perfect." She confirmed with a smile.
Christian smiled as he leant in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before smiling as they reached their destination. Grabbing some money, he passed it to the driver before he got out of the car and went around to Ana's side and opened the door for her and took her hand, helping her out.
Getting out of the car, Ana looked at where they were, her mouth dropping. "No way…" She looked to Christian before looking to The Chihuly Garden and Glass museum. "Christian this is incredible…it's so hard to get tickets this time of year because of the good weather…"
Pulling the tickets out he smirked. "Good thing I booked way in advance the isn't it." He beamed to her with a smile. "I know how long you've wanted to go here…and well this really was the perfect opportunity." He smiled and moved his arm around her and smiled. "Do you like it?"
"I love it!" Ana smiled up to him. "Let's go!" She beamed as she took his hand and led him up to the entrance. She couldn't wait to explore this place! This had been on her list for a long time, but with everything that was going on, she just didn't manage to get time to visit.
Christian couldn't help but smile at how enthusiastic Ana was. Seeing that beautiful smile of hers was always worth it. Happily holding onto her hand, they headed inside, passing the tickets to the doorman he happily escorted his girlfriend inside to show her around.
As they wandered around, Ana couldn't help but look at the place in complete awe. It was so beautiful in here. The atmosphere was so relaxing and everything was so beautiful. Happily linking onto Christian's arm, Ana stopped at every exhibit and admired everything that came into view. How could she not? "This is incredible…" Ana whispered with a smile up to Christian. "Thank you so much for this…"
"Will you please stop thanking me?" Christian asked with a chuckle as he smiled down to her. "I told you. You are worth it. Seeing your beautiful smile is worth everything." He kissed her head and smiled down to her. "I know it's a small museum…"
"Size does not matter…" Ana cut in looking to her.
Christian smirked. "It doesn't?"
Ana blushed as she shook her head and looked to him. "You're terrible."
"You love me for it." He mused as he draped his arm around her shoulder as they continued their tour through the museum. As they came to the end of the tour, he smiled down to her. "Hungry?"
Ana gave a nod. "I am actually. Walking through this museum has worked up an appetite."
"Good. Cause our destination is just over there." He mused pointing to where they were going next.
Looking to where Christian was pointing, Ana smiled as she looked up to him. "The Space Needle?"
"I know how much you love it there and it was close to this place so thought it would be perfect."
Moving her arms around his neck, Ana pressed a kiss to his lips. "You are from another world Christian Grey. What did I ever do to deserve you?" She whispered with a smile against his lips.
Moving his arms around her waist he kissed her back and smiled. "What did I do to ever deserve you more like. Each day we are together you just blow me away." Kissing her again he then smiled. "Come on. We don't want to be late for our reservation."
Ana nodded as she happily linked onto his arm, happily walking with him to The Space Needle. She really did love it here. As they entered the building, they headed into the elevator and pushed the button to the top floor.
Holding Ana close to him, he kept pressing a kiss to her head, just holding her close to him soothed him. As the elevator pinged open, he smiled to himself. He couldn't wait to see her reaction.
As the elevator doors opened, Ana frowned slightly seeing the entire floor was in darkness. "Is it closed?" Ana asked as she clung onto Christian.
Christian frowned a little. "Shouldn't be." He told her before he guided her inside. He knew why it was in darkness but he knew he had to play along. "Come on, let's see if we can find someone."
"I don't know, Christian…something doesn't feel right."
"Baby trust me, everything will be okay." He promised as he took her hand and led her into the centre of the room.
"Maybe…"
"SURPRISE!"
Nearly jumping out of her skin, Ana clung to Christian as her life depended on it as the lights came on and stood before them was their family and friends. Her dad, Grace, Carrick, Elliot and Kate, Mia, Grandma and Grandpa Trevelyan. The people who meant the most to her. Her hands flying up to her mouth, tears pooled in her eyes before she playfully nudged Christian and shook her head before she moved and embraced her dad as he stepped forward. Christian was full of surprises today! She was wondering how many more he actually had up his sleeve.
"Happy birthday Annie." Ray whispered as he hugged his little girl tight to him. He couldn't believe he had an eighteen-year-old. She was growing up way too fast for his liking. Where did his little six-pound baby girl go?
"Thank you, dad." Ana whispered as she hugged him tightly.
"OH MY GOD!" Screeched Mia as she looked to Ana, her mouth dropping open before she then looked to Christian, her smile widening before she looked back to Ana. Everyone was looking at Mia utterly confused. "YOU'RE ENGAGED?!"
Ana felt her cheeks redden before she gave a little nod as she stepped next to Christian.
Christian smiled as he moved next to Ana and moved his arm protectively around her waist as he looked to everyone. "Yes Mia. We are engaged. This morning, I asked the love of my life to marry me…and she said yes. Ray had given me his blessing so I really wanted this to be a birthday for her to remember."
Ana looked up to him and smiled. "You asked for my dad's blessing?"
Christian nodded and smiled down to her. "Of course."
"Even though he was crapping himself through the entire conversation." Ray mused taking a sip of his beer.
Ana couldn't help but look at him in awe before she giggled as she heard her dad's comment. She could imagine Christian sweating his ass off having that conversation with her dad, but at the same time she knew her dad loved Christian.
As everyone gathered around them to hug and congratulate them, Ana happily showed the girls her ring. She was so happy that everyone was happy for them. They might have been young but they knew. They knew they were it for one another. As everyone got Ana to sit down, she was soon piled with presents and cards from everyone. It might have been a small gathering but the people that were currently surrounding her sure knew how to spoil her and she was being truly spoilt by everyone today, not just Christian. It was attention she wasn't used to but she knew she had to get used it, especially with Christian's family being so loving and welcoming as they were. She wouldn't change any of this for the world. She loved the family she would be marrying into. Grace was her second mom and she knew she could always go to her for anything.
"I'm so happy for the both of you, Ana." Grace whispered, tears welling in her eyes. "Since the two of you have been together…he's a different boy…man." She corrected with a smile. "And it's all thanks to you. You make him happy."
"He makes me incredibly happy Grace." Ana whispered with a smile to her. "He's made me a better version of me."
"You both were made for each other." She whispered as she leant in and hugged her tightly. "Welcome to the family."
"Oh Grace. It's going to be an honour being part of your family." Ana whispered hugging her back.
As Christian chatted away to his brother and father, he couldn't help but gaze at Ana now and again. She was glowing. She was so beautiful and she looked so happy right now. Knowing that he was one of the reasons for her happiness he felt a sense of pride. That was his girl right there.
As Ana chatted away to the Mia and Kate, she could feel Christian's eyes on her. She could always sense when he was near or looking at her. Glancing to him and seeing he was looking at her she gave him a little wink. This birthday had been the best birthday ever. She was surrounded by the people she loved and Christian really had made it the most perfect birthday she could have ever imagined. She couldn't wait for them to go back to the hotel because she knew tonight, they were not going to be able to keep their hands off each other and if she was honest? She couldn't wait.
