Chapter 10
APOV
We're sat at the breakfast bar in Christians kitchen. "Your kitchen is so beautiful, I've always dreamt of a kitchen like this, marble work tops and a big Ireland in the middle" he smiles at me "come round and cook whenever you like. Thank you for cooking it was lovely" he takes my hand and kisses the back of it. I can feel my cheeks burning up. Control yourself Steele. I stand from the breakfast bar and collect our plates and head over to the sink. "I have a dishwasher" I roll my eyes "it's a few plates and a pan. Won't take 5 minuets Mr. Grey" I chuck him the towel. I fill the sink and wash the dishes. Washing up the last plate Christian scoops a big handful of bubbles and blows them all over me "Christian" I scream his name. He stands there laughing. "That's it, game on" I splash him with water "Ana my shirt" I splash him again and get his hair wet this time "oh that's it, it's Defo game on now Miss Steele" Christian grabs and cup from the side and fills it with water. I run to the other side of the kitchen so the Ireland is between us. "Can't get me now grey" he chases me round the Ireland and finally catches me. He pours the water over my head and I screech. "Christian it's cold" he laughs, I like hearing him laugh. "I got you" he says with a cheeky grin. I pull Christian in for a hug. "Ana your clothes are soaking" "well you did just chuck water over me" I roll my eyes. Christian pulls my in tight and looks down at me. "You are so beautiful Anastasia" he leans down and plants and kiss on my lips. I feel myself go weak at the knee's. He kisses me more passionately and I kiss him back. I want him. I run my hands over his shirt, it's wet and clinging to his body. I can feel his muscles. Dam he must work out. He breaks off our kiss and rests his forehead on mine "i want you Ana" fuck he wants me too. I feel my cheeks Burn up. "But not today Ana, we mustn't rush things" oh my body goes numb. I feel so hurt by these words. "Come, I'll give you some dry clothes" he breaks away and reaches out for my hand. We walk through the living room and up the staircase on the other side of the house. We enter what I think is Christians room. He's room is big. It's painted blue and there is a painting of a dog above the bed, it's the same dog that was on his phone. "Wait here" Christian walks into his walk in wardrobe. I do as I'm told for once and sit on the bed. It's comfortable. Christian reappears wearing jeans and a T-shirt he looks good in jeans. I bite my lip. "Here put these on" he hands me some jogging bottoms and a t-shirt. "Stop biting your lip Anastasia" he kisses me on the cheek. "I'll be downstairs in my office, come down once you're ready" I look at him confused. How do I know which room is his office the house is massive. "My office is the second door on the left" it's like he could read my mind. With that he disappears. I head for the ensuite bathroom. I change into Christians clothes. They smell just like him, he smells so good. I fix my hair in the mirror. I head back into the bedroom and realise I Haven't got any socks. I'm sure Christian will have some I can borrow. I head into the walk in wardrobe. Wow it's bigger then my bedroom at home. His suits are lined up in colour order, there's got to be at least 50 different suits here, surely there's a limit. I turn round and find a chest of draws. the first draw has got ties in, the second cufflinks, the third draw finally has socks in. I pick up a pair and shut the draw. I'm feeling a little chilly maybe I should grab a jumper too. I find a jumper hanging on the end of the rail and grab it. I head back to the bedroom and sit on the edge of the bed to put his socks on. I pull his jumper on and lay down on the bed. His bed is massive and so comfortable, the sheets are silky smooth too. What does Christian really want from this, he said he wants to take it slow but why, is he scared, have I done something wrong. I let out a sigh and close my eyes.

Sat in my office I look at the clock shit is almost 6pm I've been working on this for 4 hours, where's Anastasia. She was supposed to come down after she got changed. Fuck did I scare her away. I run my hand through my hair and rush to the door and head upstairs.
"NO DON'T" I hear Anastasia shout. What's going on. I open the bedroom door She's laying on the bed asleep, she must be having a nightmare.
"Please don't go, I can't let you leave like this" she's starts to cry. I gently bring her into my arms and rock her. "It's okay Anastasia, you're okay" I wipe away her tears. Her eyes suddenly open and she pulls me in for a tight hug and starts sobbing "please don't go" she snuggled into my chest. "Ana I'm not going anywhere, why would you think such thing" she sniffs and wipes her eyes "everyone I care about leaves" sadness crosses her face "oh sweet Ana, I'll always be here" I kiss her forehead and squeeze her tight. "What time is it? How long was I Asleep for?" She looks around the room, it's starting to get dark so I turn on the bedside lap. "It's almost 6pm" panic crosses her face "if you need to go Ana I can drop you" she frowns "no Christian, I don't want to go I just need to call josh and tell him not to cook or wait up for me" she wants to stay with me, i want her to stay with me. I love her being around. "Of course, I'll give you a minute to speak with him" I head towards the door and downstairs. I pop into my office and shut down my computer. Looks like I'll be doing no work tonight anyway. I head towards the living room and there stands Ana. She is perfect even when she's wearing my clothes.
She looks worried and as if something has troubled her. I rush to her side. "Ana is everything okay?" She shrugs her shoulders "I need to tell you something Christian"
