Summary

Ana and Christian have been "negotiating" their relationship for the past 2 months. They go out in public and he has shared his past with her, but Ana has not agreed to the playroom, CG has not let her touch him and neither have said those 3 little words. Tonight is going to be different and their true feelings are going to put to the test. Can CG give her what she needs? Not a writer and first time writing a fanfiction, please be gentle.

Ana POV

"I can't believe that he has dragged me to another stupid Gala, this is soooo DULL", Ana's subconscious and inner goddess both chime in agreement. Normally she would tell them where to stick it but tonight she had to wholeheartedly agree.

It's Friday night and they are yet again attending some charity function that Christian decided would

be beneficial for business if they were to attend. If not for the thought of what they were going to do when they got out of here she would probably be bored out of her mind.

"Christian, how much longer do we have to stay?" She looked up at him with longing and hope in her big blue eyes.

"Not much longer beautiful, I promise. Finding it tedious, are we?" That damn smirk he was wearing made her melt right there and he knew it, smug bastard.

"Yes, and you know you are too. " She told him, smiling brightly as he brought her in for a tender embrace.

"I'm quite sure I can think of something to remedy that if you'll just give me a few moments more, Anastasia." He whispered in her ear while ever so slightly grinding his hips against her.

"FINE, I'll just go freshen up a bit but then we ARE leaving and you WILL make good on that promise" She rolled her eyes and giggled knowing that in public he was powerless to spank her with that twitchy palm of his.

Walking to the bathroom she felt a feeling of dread descend on her. "What is that about?" she thought to herself as she opened the door and found her worse nightmare staring back at her. "God this is exactly what I needed" her subconscious sneered.

"Anastasia" Elena oozed confidence as she spoke and it just pissed Ana off beyond belief.

"Elena", "I mentioned to Christian that I noticed a foul odor upon entering the hall, I should have realized it was you."

"I'd watch that mouth of yours, you mousey little bitch or it won't just be Christian's interest that you will lose!" Elena spewed with as much venom as she could pack.

Ana just smirked in return "Dear Elena, you cannot possibly still be going on about Christian being yours you poor old fool! Please for everyone's sake just crawl back into whatever hole you came out of. I'm sure no one would notice your absence." Take that you old cow.

Ana could only be thankful for Ray's training and her quick reflexes as she caught Elena by the wrist when the older woman tried in vain to smack her across the face.

"Leave NOW, Elena, before this gets uglier than you already are!" Ana screamed as she pushed the vile woman away from her.

"Fine! I'll go but remember this you BITCH! He'll never truly be yours. All he wants is to control you and use you as arm candy so his family stops questioning him about his sex life. He WILL tire of you and when he does he'll run right back to me like he always has before. And I'll only be too happy to welcome him back to MY bed, the bed he has graced SO many times before." And now laughing like a loon Elena backed out of the bathroom leaving Ana shocked and reeling.

Finally alone Ana released a long breath she hadn't known she was holding. She let her thoughts run wild. It couldn't be true, could it? She was enough for him. He was interested in her for more than just sex and control, wasn't he? True, they had never actual came straight out and said they cared for each other as more than just bed buddies. It was always just understood on her end. Was it on his? She never thought to question his feelings before or her own for that matter.

She just stood there in the bathroom for what felt like an eternity. "Think about it you silly **!" Her subconscious screamed. "The pain in your heart right now, how your whole world stops when he walks in the door, YOU LOVE HIM! Go ahead try to imagine being without him." No" she whispered feeling confused and beaten. "Don't look at me, we all know I love him. Damn that man is H-O-T not to mention other parts of his anatomy that should be as illegal as taking drugs." Her inner goddess winked. Lord she was not helping.

Looking at herself in the mirror she thought if she was truly honest with herself she did love him and she had absolutely no idea what he felt about her. At that moment she made a decision. She was going to put the Great Christian Grey to the test.

Leaving the bathroom Ana was just a bundle of nerves. This is going to be bad, she thought to herself. At the end of this night she was either going to have gained the love of her life or she was going to prove Elena right and lose him forever. She just prayed she was strong enough to do it. Either way something had changed in that bathroom and there was no going back now.
