Chapter 5

CPOV

Stepping out the elevator I notice Anastasia hasn't followed me. She's stood still gazing at me.

"Anastasia" I shout her name. She still just stands there. Shit grey what have you done to the poor girl to make her so lifeless. I run to the elevator before the doors shut and scoop her into my arms.

I carry her out of the elevator and put her back on her own two feet.

She's flushed. Her eyes meet mine and then immediately look down. She fidgets nervous with her hands.

"Anastasia, what's wrong?" I place my hand on her shoulder. Yet she doesn't answer me. Fuck grey you've done it again, you've scared her away with your twisted words. "Ana please talk to me" I place my hand under her chin and lift her head. Her mesmerising blue eyes stare at me.

She opens her mouth as if she's going to say something then shakes her head. Maybe she's not comfortable talking about this in the middle of the entrance to McKenzie law.

"Anastasia lets go some place with a bit more privacy" I hold out my hand and she nods and takes my open hand.

I lead her to my car parked just outside the building. As we walk closer to the car her eyes light up.

"Christian, is this your car?" She lets go of my hand and quickly walks around the car looking at it in all angles. "Yes Anastasia this is my car, don't you like it?" I look at her and raise my eyebrow and smirk at her. "Christian this is my dream car" her smile is beautiful. "Anastasia it's just a car" she narrows her eyes and pouts "Christian it's an Audi R8, it's not just a car" I can't help but laugh at her. She doesn't look too impressed that I'm laughing. I open the passenger door for her and she slides in.

I quickly walk round the car and get in the drivers side. Silence fills the car.

I turn to Anastasia. "Anastasia what happened in the elevator?" She looks down at her hands, she's fidgeting with them again. She must do this when she's nervous.

"Christian, I... I have to tell you something" her voice is shaky. I take her hand so she can't fidget anymore, her fidgeting is setting off my anxiety. "Anastasia please you can tell me anything" she rolls her eyes at me. "Please just call me Ana. Christian you asked me about my nightmares" I nod to tell her to continue "most of my nightmares and dreams involve you" I let go of her hand.
