wait for an hour or so before ringing Kate as I don't want to wake her.
"Hello" her voice sounds a little tentative.
"Hi Kate, its Ana, is everything alright?" I ask
"Oh hi sweetie, sorry I still feel a little freaked out to be honest" she admits.
"That's normal Kate, I still get nervous about picking up the phone or opening a door I can't look through first" I tell her.
"It feels so silly though, I mean it was property damaged, not one of us but I can't help worrying" the tension is evident in her voice.
"Not silly, sensible feeling, it makes you more aware of your surroundings and what's going on" I try to reassure her.
"I guess" she replies but still sounds defeated.
"Well let's sort this dinner out and why don't you stay in the guest room here for the night, perhaps you might relax a little more with us all around?" I offer.
"That sounds good, Elliot can have a drink and not worry about driving, how about making it Friday night then none of us has to get up to go to work and we can have a lazy breakfast together?" Kate suggests.
"If it's ok with the boys and Mrs Jones, it's a date!" I say excitedly "I will text you after I have confirmed with Christian and Gail, if you could let me know about Elliot that would be great"
"I will message him now and come back to you" she says.
"Any requests for food?" I giggle "Gail is a whizz in the kitchen and could probably fix anything"
"I don't mind Ana, honestly it's will just be lovely for someone else to cook and be in good company" her voice has relaxed somewhat.
"Ok honey, I best let you go and get ready for work although don't work too hard" I smile. Telling Kate not to work too hard is a joke, Christian told me Eliot was worried at how much she is still doing and in the evening's has to practically tie her to the chair to make her sit and relax for a while.
"Thanks Ana, see you Friday hopefully" and the phone hangs up.
That is probably a good thing as my mind has started to wander to Elliot's phrase about tying Kate to a chair and remembering when I tied Christian to the chair, I shake my head to bring my mind back from the gutter and go in search of Mrs Jones to ask about Friday.
She is in the kitchen already.
"Morning Gail"
"Morning Ana, breakfast?" she asks.
"Hmm I am having a craving for blueberry pancakes" I drift for a moment as if savouring the flavour without actually having a bite yet.
"Coming right up" Gail says.
"That would be wonderful, also could I ask a huge favour but please if it is inconvenient I want you to say" I pause to make sure she has heard me "Are you available to cook some food this Friday evening? Kate and Elliot are probably coming over and staying but if it is too much or too short notice and you have plans it's no problem"
"I would be delighted to Ana" she says with a smile "Jason is working and I do get tired of my own company at times…so anything particular on the menu?"
"Oh Gail that is wonderful, I am just waiting for confirmation from Elliot and Christian but whatever you can cook will be lovely" I walk around the breakfast bar, give her a hug and thanks again.
I pad off to the bedroom to put my 'comfy' clothes on which would better be described as a partially tailored tent as I am working from home today, I put my hair up in a ponytail, brush my teeth and go back to the kitchen where my pancakes and orange juice are waiting for me. I curse under my breath that I have forgotten to get my blackberry to e-mail Christian about Friday.
"Baby brain Ana?" Gail says with a smile.
"Honestly, I think I could forget to do most things at the moment" I chuckle and it is true, I realised I have left a top hanging in the guest room at Grace and Carrick's. I meant to bring some papers home with me on Friday but forgot so Christian is having them sent over and I went out of the door last week with my slippers on!
"Ah, it's understandable" she smiles again "I am just going to make up the guest room for Friday, is there anything else you need doing?"
"What would I do without you Gail?" I genuinely think that "but nothing I can think of" as I tuck into my pancakes "Oh except remind me to e-mail Christian when I have finished this fantastic breakfast" we both chuckle at that.
Gail returns about ten minutes later and puts my blackberry on the side next to me, I nod and smile with a mouthful of pancake threatening to escape if I say anything. A few mouthfuls later I am finished and I start my mail to Christian.

Hi Christian,
Just checking that date for dinner, this Friday is all good for you? Mrs Jones is ok to cook; I am just waiting to hear from Elliot.
Don't work too hard.
Love Ana.
I head to the sofa and begin to sort through some papers when my blackberry buzzes. An immediate smile comes over my face. When I look its Kate saying Elliot is good for Friday. I reply back how much I am looking forward to seeing them and to take care. The phone vibrates again and Christian has replied.
To: Miss Anastasia Steele, Sexy Assistant Editor SIP.
From: Mr Christian Grey, I'm the lucky one CEO Grey Enterprise Holdings.
Hey baby,
Friday is good, should be home for 7pm. Have you asked them to stay? Gail will make up the guest room.

Of course I have asked them and Gail has already made up the room.

It all goes quiet so I assume Christian is busy and I knuckle down to my own growing stack of paperwork. I am interested in a novel sent to me from an author called JJ Hennie, I love her style and expression, her writing has kept me so engrossed I don't realise it's lunchtime until Gail pushes a Chicken and salad baguette under my nose and a cup of tea. I stretch my arms and legs, I feel really stiff and uncomfortable so before eating I get up and move around. This apparently wasn't what the babies wanted as some protesting kicks and punches are being thrown, a trip to the bathroom is required before settling down again.
Lunch is very eagerly eaten and the little ones have settled down somewhat, allowing me to continue devouring this novel. I must meet this author but not before she is thoroughly checked out otherwise she will not gain entrance to the parking lot let alone my office. I call Taylor and give him her details to check out and then phone Sophia to let her know my thoughts and to gather any other literature written by this talented person.
Christian arrives home earlier than I expected, not that I am complaining especially as he has a bouquet of flowers and my favourite ice cream with him.
"Hey honey, they are beautiful, what have I done to deserve those? Ooh ice cream too" I say with glee.
"Hi pumpkin, can a man not bring his fiancée some flowers for no reason other than he wanted to?" he replies.
"I love them, thank you very much. You're early today, not that I am complaining, does this mean we can have a sofa date tonight?" I giggle.
"If I get time pumpkin, I have just had enough with the office and some of the stupid fucks I work with so I decided to come home but I still have some proposals that need attention. Something came up with Elliot project, I think a simple legality but that needs reviewing" he leans over, kisses me on the lips and tells me to save him some ice cream.
I am disappointed but these things have to be done so I nestle down on the couch and flick through the channels, stopping on the movie channel and 'Magic Mike' with the delicious Matt Bomer and Channing Tatum, hmm chick flick, ice cream, the only thing missing is a glass of wine and girly friends.
My feet up, spoonful of scrumptious Ben and Jerry's Phish Food and eye candy on the television, babies seem to be appreciating the ice cream and my ankles are certainly better for being up on the couch and then I have a naughty thought, I waddle through to Christian's office, knock on the door and go in.
"Hey baby, are you ok?" he says looking up from the monitor.
"Just wondering how much longer you are going to be? I might go to bed" I ask.
"Oh I think I will be done in half an hour, you go chill in bed and I will be there soon" he blows me a kiss and I shut the door behind me.
I put the ice cream back in the freezer for the next twenty minutes, go to our bedroom, turn down the bed, dim the lighting, light some scented candles and put on the sexiest underwear I can fit in to. I wrap a dressing gown around my shoulders and go back to the kitchen for the remaining ice cream.
I lay in bed waiting for Christian to come and upon hearing his footstep's, I grab the pot of ice cream and drop a few spoonful's over strategic areas. Christian comes in the room but doesn't look at me whilst apologising for being longer than he anticipated, it's when he comes from the bathroom and sees me with melting ice cream over me.
His eyes immediately darken with lust and wanting.
"Why Miss Steele, you look good enough to eat this evening" he growls
"Mr Grey, please feel free to sample me" I purr back and with that he climbs on the bed, lingers over me and runs his tongue over my chest.
"Hmmm, very tasty, I think I would like to sample some more" he whispers.
"Help yourself" I whisper back.
My panties and bra are removed in moments and his tongue explores everywhere and I mean everywhere making me writhe and moan. With every stroke of his fingers and tongue I am driven closer and closer to the edge.
I make him lay down on his back and I begin to tease, ice cream forgotten, just me stroking, nipping, licking and caressing. I stroke his very hard penis, I take his length in my mouth and swirl my tongue around and around until I reach the tip, he moans and bucks his hips. I straddle him, his length filling me, I tell him how good he feels before grabbing the ice cream and begin feeding small amounts to Christian. I drop some on his chest and sensuously lick around his nipples, lapping up the ice cream and gently rocking back and forth creating enough friction to continue our way toward our release.
"Faster Ana, go faster baby, yeah that's right" he encourages "Oh baby you are so wet"
"Just for you" I reply breathlessly
We move together in unison, feeling each other, needing each other and not wanting this to ever end.
I call out his name as I come, Christian following shortly afterwards and I lay down next to him, snuggling into his chest, deeply inhaling the mixture of chocolate, aftershave and sweat.
"What got into you this evening?" Christian playfully asks.
"It was the ice cream" I chuckle "I need another shower though, I am really sticky"
"Come with me" Christian pulls me up and leads me to the bathroom….
A/N Next update on Friday per usual, hopefully. Thanks everyone for your support, it's much appreciated.
