Chapter 8
CPOV
I pull my lips away from Anastasia's, I look at her. She blushing and she's biting her lip. "Anastasia we should get you home" I tuck a lose strand of hair behind her ear. "Christian we need to go back to work" she shuffles in my lap and rolls her eyes. "Anastasia you need to go home and rest you heard what my mother said" she huffs "your mother said I can't be left alone, if I go home I'll be alone" but she lives with her father.. doesn't she. I look at her confused. "My Dad is working late tonight" ah I see. "Come back to my place then Anastasia, I'll cook for us" why are you doing this grey you just kissed the poor girl she's probably thinking you want more. Anastasia's complexion is flushed. "Christian, mr grey I couldn't possibly impose" has she gone shy. I shift Ana back to the passenger seat. "It's my duty to look after you today miss Steele" I wink at her. I lean over Ana and put her seatbelt on. She rolls her eyes at me. "Safety first Anastasia". I smirk at her. "Christian I'm capable of putting a seatbelt on" I raise one eyebrow "I know that Anastasia, but like I said it's my duty to look after you today" she shakes her head and giggles. Why is she laughing at me. "Anastasia what's so funny?" She tries to compose herself but does a terrible job. "Come on Anastasia, share the joke" I'm so confused "well mr grey" she giggles again "it's been a while since anyone's looked after me" oh is she being cheeky. "I see miss Steele" she blushes and bites her lip. I lean towards her, her body tenses, my lips brush her ear "your biting your lip again miss Steele" she shifts in the chair. "Christian don't you think we should get going, we've been sat in your parents driveway for a long time" shit I didn't realise. It's almost midday "Anastasia time goes by so quickly when I'm with you" she blushes and looks out the window. With that I turn the key and the car comes to life.
APOV
We pull off his parents driveway. Wow they live in a small village, it's lovely round here. I wonder if Christian grew up round here.
I look at him and my heart flutters. I feel so comfortable around him.
We stop at a red light and Christian looks at me. "Penny for your thoughts" oh god he wants to know what I'm thinking again, I swear he can read me like I book. "Christian did you grow up around here it's beautiful" sadness fills his face. "Yes and no. But I don't wanna talk about it Anastasia" he looks hurt. "Okay Christian" he sighs "should we listen to some music?" Oh I wonder what music he likes. "Sure, What kinda music do you like Christian?" He hands me his phone. His screensaver is a picture of a beautiful white Labrador. He tells me his passcode and I scroll through his music. I find why did it have to be me? by ABBA. I hit play.
The music fills the car. Christian glances at me "why this song Anastasia?" I roll my eyes "it fits the situation" I tease him.
"Ah I see miss Steele" he smirks. I glance out the window and drift to planet Ana.
