Christian's POV

Almost a month ago, I went back to Los Angeles and finished all my pieces. The next day, all my clients came to get their paintings and drawings. The following evening, Kate, the others ad I celebrated my success... I had sold all my pieces, including the one I made last minute. I didn't want to go to the club, but they practically dragged me to it.

The reason why I didn't want to go was simple: I wanted to feel sorry for myself at home, alone. Like some heartbroken fool, I was still listening to love songs, thinking about her.

Anastasia...

More than a dozen times, I had started my car, wanting to drive to her address and knock on her door. However, I chickened out every single time.

While we were at the club though, women flocked to me, wanting to dance or buy me a drink. Some even invited me to spend the night with them. I wasn't in the mood, so I gently said no to them.

It was a good thing that Kate was with me. She saved me numerous times by acting like my girlfriend. She was hilarious though, pretending to be my girl.

Kate knew very well that I was still pining over a certain brunette. There was no woman in the entire world who could make me get over Ana, because in my eyes, she was THE perfect woman for me.

The others and I had a great night at the club, but I was the first to go home.

When I got home, the first thing I did was play the song 'Run' on my surround sound system. I knew I had to stop doing it, but I couldn't help myself and played that song everyday for almost a whole month now.

Kate called me OBSESSED, but I just ignored her.

And then, two days ago I received Ana's invitation to her fashion show. At first, I didn't want to go, but Kate practically forced me to. So, I packed my bags and arrived in New York this morning. I stayed at a five star hotel of course, and bought three suits that fit me perfectly, and wore one of them to Ana's show.

(I had called Mia and Elliot to help me pick which one to wear on this special occasion. Mia even told me to 'get my girl', and of course Elliot agreed with her)

During the car ride, I felt so fucking nervous, but fortunately Kate and Mia both left me messages, and encouraged me to tell Ana what I'd been waiting for 5 years to tell her.

(When we met a month earlier at our mutual friend's wedding, I barely had spoken to her. I wanted so badly to walk up to Ana and confess everything, but like a big coward, I fucking chickened out.)

When I arrived at the fashion show, she was the one I looked for of course. I saw a glimpse of her, and then took a seat. As Ana's clothes were being shown by the models, I admired them one by one. What stood out to me, and probably most people in the audience was that Ana's models were showing off different size clothing.

Not only for women with a small size, but also for women with a bigger size.

And to be honest, even though I don't know much about fashion and women clothing, I found each and every piece to be absolutely stunning!

I had always known that she was a talented artist, but tonight, Ana proved to the world that she deserved her place in the fashion industry...

And then the show was over, so all the models and Ana got up on the catwalk. The second she walked on it, everyone applauded for her, making her face light up.

As my eyes landed on her, my heart jumped up from happiness. The sight of Ana was breathtaking! She looked more beautiful than ever. Her dress was stunning, and her high heels made her legs look like there was no end to them.

At one certain point, her eyes caught mine.

'Ana'

As our eyes locked onto one another, gray meeting blue, it felt as if an invisible force was pushing my legs towards her. As the gap closed between us, my heart rammed against my chest. And then she stood right in front of me, neither one of us caring that we stood there in the middle of a crowded room.

Before I could do or say anything though, I felt her warm fingers on my cheek, her oh so familiar scent invading my nostrils, making my eyes flutter shut." Anastasia," I uttered, feeling as if I had been found by the one person that I longed for in such a long time.

Her hand felt so warm, like it was about to light up any minute now. But I was too hypnotized by her touch to open my eyes, my heart skipping a beat or even two.

After a couple of moments, that seemed like eternity to me, I heard her whisper my name. "Christian, I missed you so much,"

I reluctantly opened my eyes, and looked into her gorgeous ones." I love you still... I never got over you, Ana,"

The look in her eyes was so hard for me to read, but then she took my insecurities away with the next thing she said, while tears pooled in her eyes." Do you know how long I've waited for you to tell me that?"

"Five years?" I answered without a thought.

"Five years, Christian" She confirmed, her words setting my heart and body ablaze!

As our eyes stayed locked, I had the urge to feel her skin on mine, so I cupped her face gently and caressed her cheeks with both my thumbs.

"Christian," she said, while tears spilled from her eyes.

We were so lost in each other's gaze, feeling as if the whole world around us had evaporated into nothingness.

And then I heard someone clear their throat, making me break eye contact. As I looked around, I noticed how everyone was watching us, all of them holding their breaths.

"Ana," I whispered, and it was then when the music stopped." We're being watched,"

In response, she pulled away from my touch, while giving me a pleading look.

"I know," I told her, and nodded." They want to congratulate you."

As her lips curled up into a wide smile, I brushed a lock from her beautiful face." Go on... and congratulations, Ana"

The next thing I know, people were congratulating her and hugging her. I moved aside, so she could have her moment. From a distance, I looked at her, and felt so fucking happy.

Ana looked so graceful and like usual, she was surrounded by people.

She was such a good person, one who was liked by everyone she met. She had a way about her that attracted people to her. That's just how Ana was.

Till this day, I admire how she can get along with not only people she knew, but also complete strangers...

Although Ana was busy talking to everyone there, I noticed how she looked my way from time to time, catching my gaze, and giving me such a loving look.

Every time she did that, I felt like the luckiest man in the world, because I knew that she wanted me here.

I don't know what the future holds, I just take whatever life is willing to give me. All that mattered now was that she was here, and I am here and this could be a fresh start for the two of us.

And as I stand here, observing the woman I love with all my heart, I Christian Grey, promise that I won't let her go like I did 5 years ago...

NO, this time, I vow to do everything in my power to make her stay, and make her mine... AGAIN.

..

THE END.
