Title: FSOG: From Heartbreak to Happiness?

Summary: Ana and Christian both suffered heartbreak from their last relationship with other people. Christian from his first attempt at one and Ana after getting cheated on. Once they meet, it's obvious there's a spark. But the question is, can they conquer their fears of getting hurt again?

Chapter 4

(As Ana is walking up to her apartment, she can't help but get the strangest feeling that she bumped into someone familiar without realizing it. She thought it was weird considering all she did was go for a walk, yet she walked in the same area as the other day. When she gets to the front door she opens it and sees Kate at the kitchen table with the applications in front of her. Ana shuts the door behind her and chuckles softly)

Ana: "I see you're still doing the applications. I thought you would've finished by now considering you were almost finished when I left."

(Kate looks up from the applications and points at her friend seriously)

Kate: "These apps will determine my future as well as yours. Trust me when I say we need to be focused."

(Ana playfully rolls her eyes as she sits down next to her best friend at the kitchen table)

Ana: "My friend, we HAVE been focused on these applications. Trust me when I say I'm as focused as you are." (shrugs) "Any preferences on where you would like to start your internship?"

(Kate thinks for a moment before looking at Ana)

Kate: "So far, either 'Boston Legal' or 'Christian Grey Enterprises'. 'Boston Legal' sounds more appealing."

Ana: (puzzled) "Why do you say that? I thought you wanted to go to Christian Grey's company from the start?"

Kate: (nods) "Oh, I did. However I read more about 'Boston Legal' and something about it caught my eye." (shrugs) "What about you? Do you have a preference?"

(Ana blushes in nervousness as she was a little shy about her choice. Kate notices this and can't help but laugh)

Kate: "Okay, woman, you got me curious. You have been filling out applications so you must have a preference." (smirks) "Something tells me you have your mind set on one and are determined to get in."

Ana: (looking weirdly) "What are you talking about, Kavanagh?"

Kate: (raises her eyebrows & smirks) "You want 'Christian Grey Enterprises', don't you?"

(Ana looks at Kate with a surprised look before playing dumb)

Ana: "What makes you so sure I want an internship there?"

Kate: (tilts her head) "Maybe because ever since we found out about the company you've been interested." (fights a smile) "Admit it, Steele."

(Ana squirms a little in her chair as she knew Kate was right, but she didn't have the guts to admit it. As she continues to look at her roommates curious eyes, Ana throws her hands up in frustration)

Ana: "Okay, so I'm more interested in Christian Grey's company. Sue me. I just find his company, the workers there, and everything else fascinating."

Kate: (curiously) "Why? I mean, you've never stepped foot in the building yet and for all you know, he's a control freak who orders everyone around."

Ana: (chuckles) "Well, at least he gets the job done. Besides, he isn't forcing anyone to stay there. He must be doing well if he has his own company and successful."

(Ana just realizes how that sounded and clarifies)

Ana: "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to get to where he is. I respect that in a person."

Kate: (shrugs casually) "It wouldn't hurt if he was hot, as well."

(Ana shakes her head and chuckles at her friend)

Ana: "Only you would say something like that, Kavanagh."

(Kate shrugs and raises her hands defensively)

Kate: "What? Can I help it if I notice whether a guy is hot or not?"

Ana: (sighs) "I know you too well and that usually is the first thing you notice." (shakes her head) "Not every nice and charming guy needs to be hot, Kate."

Kate: (nods) "True," (raises her eyebrows) "but it doesn't hurt."

(Ana shakes her head at her friend and her endless confessions, but can't help the smile that appears. Before long, the two friends finish filling out their applications. They seal all the envelopes before mailing them. The two friends sigh as they glance at each other)

Kate: 'We will soon find out if we get any takers."

Ana: (nods confidently) "I'm sure we will. We're both determined and we can do anything we set our mind to."

Kate: (smiles) "Very true, Steele. Very true indeed."

(Meanwhile, the next day, Ana is in the bookstore looking at the latest books that have come in. She sees one that catches her eye and can't help the curiosity as she turns the book to the back to read what it's about. She smiles as becomes more fascinated by it. The smile quickly fades when she comes face to face with someone she never thought she'd see again, at least not anytime soon)

Jose: (smiles politely) "Hey."

Ana: (politely) "Hello."

Jose: (shrugs) "How have you been?"

Ana: (coldly) "How do you think?"

Jose: (sighs) "Ana..."

Ana: "I have nothing to say to you and it sounded like you said everything you needed to when we broke up."

Jose: (sighs sadly) "I still love you."

(Ana looks at him in disbelief)

Ana: "You're kidding, right?"

Jose: (shakes his head) "No, I'm not."

Ana: (angrily) "You know why we broke up, Jose. Or did you forget?" (points at him) "If you did, then let me refresh your memory. You couldn't handle the fact that I wasn't ready to sleep with you. You basically threatened to break up with me if I didn't have sex with you."

Jose: "I think you're exaggerating a little bit on that part, don't you think?"

Ana: (shrugs angrily) "Whether that's true or not the fact still remains the same. You wanted me to sleep with you and when I wasn't ready, you decided to get fulfillment elsewhere." (shrugs) "I guess you couldn't keep it in your pants, could you?"

Jose: (defensively) "Hey, that's not fair. It only happened once."

Ana: (glares at him) "It shouldn't have happened at all and you damn well know it."

(Just as their voices were rising, they remember they're still in the bookstore need to keep their voices lowered)

Jose: (sighs) "I said I was sorry, Anastasia. It was never my intention to cheat on you." (apologetically) "It meant nothing."

Ana: (tilts her head) "You mean it was just sex?"

Jose: (nods) "Yes. That's all it was, I swear. It will never happen again."

Ana: (nods) "I'm glad it will never happen again."

(She then takes a step closer to him and whispers angrily)

Ana: "I hope the sex was worth it because you are never getting any from me."

(Jose looks at her with a surprised look as he didn't expect the conversation to go that way. The way she was making it sound, he thought she forgave him enough to give him another chance. As he watched her walk away, he couldn't stop the glare that formed across his face. The way her attitude has been lately, he thought she was turning into a bitch. A part of him couldn't believe she's been acting like this. He shook his head as he came to the conclusion Anastasia Steele wasn't worth it anymore. He scoffed slightly as he pitied the next guy who came into her life because if she wasn't going to sleep with him, she wouldn't sleep with the next guy who came along)

(At 'Christian Grey Enterprises', Christian is working on a few files that are on his desk. His phone machine beeps and he hears Courtney on the other end)

Courtney: "Mr. Grey?"

(Christian presses the 'talk' button)

Christian: "Yes, Courtney, what can I do for you?"

Courtney: "Sorry to interrupt you, but Mr. Taylor is on line two."

Christian: "Thank you, Courtney."

(Christian takes his finger off the 'talk' button and presses the number two button before resting the phone against his ear)

Christian: "I was beginning to wonder when I'd hear from you."

(Taylor could hear the annoyance in his voice and offers an apology)

Taylor: "Sorry, sir, but it took a little longer than expected."

Christian: "Did you find anything?"

Taylor: (sighs deeply) "I'm sorry, Mr. Grey, but no."

(Christian sighs deeply in frustration and curses under his breath before he speaks in the phone)

Christian: "I don't pay you for your apologies, Taylor. I pay you for results."

Taylor: "Sir, you need to understand that you only gave me her first name. Do you know how difficult it is to find a woman by only her first name?"

(Christian rolls his eyes in frustration, but he did see his employee's point. He should have known it would be impossible to find someone just by their first name and their appearance, especially if they just met that one time. As much as he wanted to find Ana, he knew it was a lost cause because the fact of the matter is, there were probably hundreds or thousands of women named Ana in this city. Christian uses his free hand to rub his eyes before he hears Taylor's voice)

Taylor: "Sir? Are you still there?"

Christian: "Yes, Taylor, I am. My apologies. You are right that it would have taken a miracle to locate Ana." (sighs) "I guess I was hoping you could make that miracle happen. Thanks anyways, Taylor."

Taylor: "No problem, Mr. Grey. If it's any consolation, I have a feeling we will get our answer soon."

Christian: (puzzled look) "What makes you say that?"

Taylor: (chuckles a little) "I guess you could say I'm an optimist and that I'm hoping you will see her again. Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if you found her when you least expect it."

Christian: (sighs) "I hope so, Taylor."

Taylor: "If I may ask, Mr. Grey, what is so important about this woman?"

(Christian sighs as he leans back in his chair and briefly looks up before looking ahead)

Christian: "I can't explain it, Taylor. Ever since I met her on my walk her face stuck with me. She looked lost. Not literally, but lost like something was missing in her life. Her cheeks were red and it was obvious she had been crying. I don't know why, but I feel the need to be there for her, like she needs me." (scoffs) "Which is weird considering I've never felt this way before."

Taylor: "If I may say so, sir, I think this Ana person has gotten to you."

Christian: (confused) "What do you mean?"

Taylor: (sighs) "Well, it's obvious you care about her and for her well being."

Christian: "I don't like to see any woman in pain, Taylor. Simple as that."

Taylor: "Are you sure that's all it is, Mr. Grey? If I didn't know any better, I would think you had feelings for her."

Christian: (scoffs) "That's ridiculous."

Taylor: "Is it?"

(Christian rolls his eyes in annoyance at the questions Taylor was asking. He had no idea where this was coming from. He did have to admit he may in fact care for Ana, even though he didn't know anything about her. Not her last name, not her age, what her interests were, nothing. Yet he knew at this point, he wouldn't unless a change happened, something unexpected)

Christian: "I got to go, Taylor. Courtney is in front of my desk."

Taylor: "Okay. Talk to you later."

(Christian hangs up the phone on the receiver and looks at his secretary)

Christian: "Yes, Courtney?"

Courtney: "I have the last set of internship applications for you. They arrived about a half hour or so ago."

(Christian grumbles as he takes the applications)

Christian: "I swear, this is never ending."

Courtney: (chuckles) "I take it you're feeling overwhelmed?"

(Christian looks at her in frustration)

Christian: "Let's just say I'm starting to regret my decision to do this."

Courtney: "Ah, I see. Unfortunately, you can't take it back."

Christian: (scoffs) "Tell me about it. I'm almost tempted to forget the whole thing, but then that wouldn't look good on my part."

Courtney: (winces) "True."

(Courtney leaves him to look at the applications in peace. As he goes through each file, he scoffs)

Christian: "Do these people actually think they have a shot?" (raises his eyebrows) "This one's not too bad. Alison Brady. She sounds mature and determined. I'll put this one on the 'maybe' pile."

(He goes through more files and nods once in a while. He had to admit some of the applicants were impressive, but he wondered to himself if they were up to the task. He comes across one that immediately catches his eye. He puts the rest of the files down so he can get a better look at the one in front of him)

Christian: "This one is good. She's twenty-two years old. Just finished college not too long ago and is ready for the hard work that comes along."

(He nods his head and smirks)

Christian: "Hmm. She was valedictorian in high school and on the President's list in college. She's from this city, as well."

(When he gets to the name of the woman that's on the applicant, he can't help but get curious)

Christian: "Anastasia Steele." (looks up slightly) "Why do you sound familiar? You couldn't possibly be familiar as I don't know you, yet..." (confused) "...Anastasia Steele." (sighs)

(Christian gets a somewhat shocked look across his face)

Christian: "Why do I have this reaction towards your name? And why do I have this need to meet you?" (sighs deeply) "Maybe I should listen to what my instincts are telling me." (sighs curiously) "Maybe it's time we met."

Chapter 4 Done

Thank you for reading and for those who are generous in the reviews, follows, and favorites. As you can see Christian and Ana are getting closer to seeing each other again. What will happen? I'd love to hear what you think. Please review. Thank you. I saw the movie '50 Shades of Grey' and I loved it! I don't know how the rest of you feel towards it. I saw it the second week it came out in theaters. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you thought of the movie. Until next time!
