Chapter 9

APOV

As Christian drives I watch the world go by. It's odd how he wants to take care of me when 3 weeks ago he didn't even know my name. I turn my head and look at Christian. He looks relaxed and well very sexy. I feel my cheeks burning up. Oh Ana control yourself. I bring my hand to my mouth and trace my lips. This beautiful man kissed me. He has the softest lips.

"Still thinking about our kiss" he's winks at me. "We're almost at my place Anastasia" he smiles. "Christian please just call me Ana" I roll my eyes at him. "But I like Anastasia, it's a beautiful name for a beautiful woman" I must admit whenever he says my name my heart skips a beat.

I shake my head and look out the window. Christian turns at the next left and we're greeted by big metal gates. He presses a button in the car and the gates began to open. As the car moves forwards I look around. We've entered a privet estate. "Oh wow" I can't contain my shock. "No way do you own one of these massive houses" I gaze out the window mouth wide open. Christian chuckles "yes I own one of these houses" of course he does, why wouldn't he. "How long have you lived here" I'm curious as the buildings look fairly new. "I've lived here 3 years" we pull into a garage. He parks the car next to a black suv. How many cars does this man own. He cuts the engine and climbs out, he walks round to my door and opens it for me. "Thank you" i take his hand and step out of the car. We walk through the garage and past 4 other cars "do you own all of these" I'm shocked. "Yes, they're all mine" he grins at my reaction. "How and why would you want so many cars" "because I can Anastasia" with that he opens the door and ushers me in.

Anastasia stops in the doorway and looks around.. yes Ana I own a big house get over it. She is stunned by what she sees obviously. "Wait till you see the rest of the house" I wink and her and pull on her hand till she starts to walk. I head for the kitchen. "Are you hungry, I can make us food or we can order stuff in" she looks so shy and anxious. "I'm not that hungry Christian" I run my hand through my hair "Anastasia you need to eat" she starts to fidget with her hands, it make me nervous when she does that. I take her hand and pull her into my arms, she gasps. I push a lose strand of hair behind her ear and move my lips closer to hers "Anastasia please eat for me" with that her body tenses. I realise her from my hold "okay I'll eat but only if you let me cook for us" I raise my eyebrow at her and smirk with amusement, no ones ever cooked for me in my own home. Maybe now's the chance. "Be my guest, I'll show you around and you can cook away Miss Steele" with that I show Ana around the kitchen, I've got loads of stuff in the fridge. "Stir fry" she shouts with excitement "is that okay?" She looks at me anxiously "of course, one of my favourite dishes" she smiles and takes all the vegetables and chicken out the fridge "here let me help you prepare everything" I take out two chopping boards and two knifes. "Would you like the radio on?" I ask "sure" she smiles at me. I turn on the radio and the room fills with music. "Oh Christian I really love this song" she is so excited and starts to sing along, but I hadn't a clue what the song was, I look at her as she dances and sings around my kitchen. I could get use to this. "Enjoying the view Mr Grey" she playfully sticks out her tongue "always Miss Steele" we both giggle. She grabs my hands and starts to move them as if she's trying to make me dance. "Ana I don't dance, I can't dance" she pouts at me "everyone can dance Christian, listen to the music" I start to move to the tempo of the music "what is this song Ana, I like it" she looks at me as if I had 4 heads "really you have no idea what this song is" she's surprised. I shake my head "it's Shut up and dance by a group called walk the moon" we keep dancing till the song has finished, we're both giggling. I pull Ana into my arms and kiss her on the forehead. "I like having you here" her eyes dart up and meet mine "you like having me here" she frowns and a little v forms between her eyebrows. "What do you mean you like having me here" she wiggle out of my hold and leans against the breakfast bar. "What I mean Anastasia, I've really enjoyed your company today. I rarely have people here in my home" her face has lit up "Christian you should have a dinner party and invite your family over and maybe some friends" hmmm I don't want them here I just want you Ana. I let out a sigh "Maybe, but I'm not sure. Right now I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" she giggles at me and moves to the work station and begins to prepare the vegetables for the stir fry. Here I stand with this beautiful woman and she fits in so perfectly. I stand next to Ana and help her.
