Title: FSOG: From Heartbreak to Happiness?

Chapter 40

***Sunday Afternoon***

(Kate went with Ana to pick out an outfit for her date with Christian. Ana wanted something sexy, yet elegant to blow Christian's mind. The ladies walk into 'Bella's Designs' and are amazed by all the beautiful dresses in the store. Ana and Kate use their fingers to separately feel the style and textures of the garments. Ana saw many outfits that interested her, as did Kate)

(Kate showed Ana a few dresses that she thought Ana may like. Ana tried on a few, but they didn't call out at her. In the end, there were two dresses that caught Ana's eye. She tried them both on separately and asked for her bestie's opinion. Kate smiled happily at both dresses and commented that they are awesome. Ana playfully rolls her eyes when Kate smirks as she 'innocently' said when Christian sees Ana in it, he'll want to take her right there. Both girls laughed)

(Ana picks out her desired dress, pays for it, and both ladies leave the store. They go back to the apartment and admire the dress Ana chose)

***Sunday Night***

(Kate offers to help Ana get ready, which she agrees to. Soon, Ana starts getting ready for her big first date with Christian. Ana puts on her new dress, which Kate admires. Regarding her makeup, she has on grey eye shadow, her eyes held a sultry intense look. Her red blush would only highlight the natural color in her cheeks, and the red lipstick drew attention to her full cupid's bow shaped lips. Her pale skin, and delicate features complemented the overall look nicely. For her hair, she has it halfway up in barrettes, so the back of her hair lay perfectly against her back. She wore golden cross earrings that hung from her ears. Finally, for Ana's footwear, she is wearing 3-inch cream high heels)

Kate: (smiles in satisfaction) "You look hot, girl. If anyone tells you different, they don't know fashion like we do."

Ana: (chuckles) "Damn right, Kavanagh."

Kate: (sighs softly) "Are you nervous?"

Ana: (shrugs a bit) "I'm trying not to be. Sure, I went out with Jose for a year. He usually made me feel like what I was wearing wasn't the best. Christian's never done that…yet."

Kate: (shakes her head) "Jose wasn't and is not a man. He's a child who didn't deserve you. From what I've seen with Christian, he's never done that. If he does, I'll beat the shit out of him as he's not worth it. But, I truly feel you'll be fine."

Ana: (nods & smiles) "Thanks, girl."

(Christian is in a black suit as he wanted to dress up for his girl. After arriving at her doorstep, he knocks on the door. The door opens, revealing Ana. Christian takes one look at Ana and is a bit wide-eyed while his mouth is open in awe. Ana can't help but chuckle at his appearance)

Ana: "You're speechless, Grey. That doesn't happen a lot."

(Christian clears his throat and composes himself. Ana can't help but be amused by her beau's facial expression)

Christian: (shakes his head & growls) "You look so hot, Steele. I'm so tempted to fuck you senseless."

(Ana can't help the laugh from escaping her mouth at his comment)

Ana: "You are definitely something else, Grey. But, that's okay. I wouldn't trade you for anything."

Christian: "You're my angel, Steele. That will never change."

(He continues to admire Ana's hot attire. She is wearing a black mini dress with intricate lace sleeves, a keyhole at the chest that shows off the perfect amount of cleavage and one at the back showing off a creamy expanse of skin. The bodice is form fitting cutting in at the waist before flowing out into a flirty skirt that hits at the upper thigh. The look was finished with nude heels and it look everything in Christian not to devour Ana on the spot)

(Ana grabbed a light jacket in case she got a little chilly. Christian offers Ana his arm, which she happily takes. She rests her arm in his and he leads her downstairs, out the front door of the building)

(He opens the passenger door and helps her get in before closing it. He then goes to his side and gets in. They smile at each other before he speaks)

Christian: "Are you ready for the night of your life. Anastasia Steele?"

Ana: (nods) "You bet, Grey."

(Christian brings her to a lovely upscale restaurant in the heart of Seattle. Ana is amazed at the view, and that they are high enough where they can see the space needle. She knew this must've cost him a fortune. Stepping off of the elevator they walk to a seating host. He is formally dressed in black smiling at the two. He immediately grabs two menus. He gestures for them to follow him and once they round a corner, the entire restaurant is laid out. Completely open with a bar to the left and tables in the center and to the right. Against the tall windows are booths, and there is a jazz band playing in the far-right corner on a stage. The color schemes of red and black seem to fit the intimate ambiance of the restaurant. It seems like an escape from reality. Ana is amazed at how beautiful the place is)

Christian: "I take it you've never been here before?"

Ana: "Nope. This is my first time."

Christian: "Good. You're the first person I've been here with. I wanted it to be special."

Ana: (nods) "With you by my side, I know it will be."

(Once they've inside a few moments, Christian lets Ana take everything in. No one, not even Jose, has ever taken her to a wonderful place like this before. Ana inhaled deeply, causing Christian to be glad he picked this place to take her to. The waiter asks if they'd like anything to drink to start the evening. Ana asks for water for now while Christian requested a bottle of Yellow Tail Chardonnay. The waiter then asks the couple if they'd like to look at the menu. The couple says no as they already knew what they wanted)

Christian: "I would like a fully cooked T-bone steak with ketchup on the side. Baked potato with a little cup of butter on the side. Finally, green vegetables with a dash of Nature's Seasoning over it."

(After the waiter writes down Christian's dinner choice, he looks at Ana)

Waiter: "And you, ma'am?"

Ana: "Chicken alfredo with a side salad to start with, please. My salad dressing will be French."

(The waiter writes it down before nodding)

Waiter: "Sounds good. I'll bring out your salad shortly. The rest of the food, I'll bring to you when it's ready."

Ana: (briefly smiles) "Thank you."

Christian: "Thanks."

(The new couple engage in small talk while waiting for their food. About ten minutes later, the waiter brings Ana her salad with the French dressing in a small cup. Watching his girl dig into her salad and slightly moan in pleasure, was making the billionaire grow hard in his suit pants. He was privately wondering if he'd make it through the whole date without taking her over the table and making mad, passionate love to her)

(After realizing she was moaning during her salad, Ana quietly looks up to her beau and smiles sheepishly)

Ana: "Sorry. I didn't realize I was moaning so loud."

(Christian clears his throat while trying not to think of such thoughts. Ohhhh, she was making it increasingly difficult not to do that. He was trying to control his emotions. He shakes his head and offers a smile)

Christian: "It's okay. But, if we're being completely honest…"

Ana: (nods) "I'd prefer that, yes. No lies. Even if I don't like or agree with what you're going to say, I want the truth."

Christian: (smirks) "You turn me on in so many ways. I know this is only our first date, but I have dreamt for so long about loving you. About ravishing your perfect bodacious body. About making you cum many times. About pleasuring you until you're so tired you pass out from exhaustion. That's what you do to me, my sweet Ana."

(Ana looks at him wide-eyed momentarily, as she's never heard a man she dated say that to her before. But, in all honesty, that kind of talk turned her on. She loved this man. She could picture having a forever future with him. She smiles happily at her man)

Ana: "I admit it caught me off-guard to hear you say that. But, it's just because no man has ever said anything like that to me before. Jose never did. He wasn't a man. He is a boy. Hearing you say how much you love me…what you would do to me…OHHHH….you turn me on, Christian." (chuckles nervously) "You make me think of things I've never thought of before."

(Christian tilts his head and smiles sultrily)

Christian: "Like what? Tell me, Ana."

Ana: (shocked) "I can't say it here! We're in public!"

Christian: (chuckles) "Ana, there's no one here but us. We are the only ones in this restaurant. So, please, feel free to speak freely."

Ana: "Yeah, why are we the only ones in here?" (jokingly) "What did you do? Pay extra so we'd have the whole restaurant to ourselves?"

(Christian raises his eyebrows and smiles proudly)

Christian: "Yep, I did."

Ana: (blushes) "I didn't think you were serious."

Christian: (shrugs) "I wanted our first date to be perfect and where we could speak freely without any interruptions."

Ana: (giggles) "You definitely accomplished that, Grey."

Christian: (nods) "As you can see, Miss Steele, we're all alone here together. Aside from the waiter and cooks, of course."

(Ana smiles and sighs as she folds her arms on the table, faces Christian)

Ana: "So, Mr. Grey, you would like to hear one of my fantasies that I have about you."

Christian: "Yes, but only if you're willing. I would never force you to divulge your deepest, darkest, sexual thoughts."

Ana: "No, I'll tell you. I don't mind." (clears her throat) "Well, for starters…"

(Ana takes her foot out of her three-inch cream heels and raises it to Christian's manhood, causing him to groan loudly)

Ana: (non apologetically) "I'd do that to you, being my hand couldn't reach you under the table."

Christian: (clears his throat) "What's next, Miss Steele?"

(As she's taking the straw out of her glass of water and puts it to her tongue, she speaks)

Ana: "I would imagine I was licking your cock…your sweet cock…and you were loving every second of it. Not to mention I couldn't resist my next move."

(Christian was getting harder by the minute, if that were possible, by her choice of words)

Christian: "Which would be?"

Ana: (smiles in satisfaction) "Sucking your dick…hard….making you cum. I'm sure your next move would be fucking me senseless."

(Christian was amazed at his girl's choice of words. But, glad, that she felt brave enough to open up to him on her inner most hearts desires)

Christian: "I can't wait until our first sexual encounter."

(Ana suddenly grew uneasy, causing Christian to have instant regret)

Christian: "Oh, Ana, I'm-I'm sorry if I came on too strong. I am perfectly happy going slow or at your pace. I admit to wanting you a great deal. But, I will wait forever for you, if that's what it takes." (smiles) "You're worth it."

Ana: (shakes her head) "No, it-it has nothing to do with that, Christian. I can't wait until our first time, either."

(Christian rests his arms and hand on the table, face up, telling her to put hers in his. After she does, he speaks)

Christian: "Please don't be afraid to tell me something, baby. I would NEVER make fun of you."

Ana: (nods) "I know."

Christian: "Then talk to me, please. What's got you so sad all of a sudden?"

Ana: (sighs) "I was with Jose for about a year. We dated. But we-we….we never…had sex. We never slept together. He pressured me a lot, but I never did. He ended up cheating on me because I wouldn't sleep with him."

Christian: (scoffs) "He's a fucking idiot. He didn't deserve you. Never did." (sighs softly) "If I am approaching a sensitive subject, please let me know and I will drop it immediately."

Ana: (nods) "No, it's okay. Go ahead."

Christian: "With you just admitting to me that you never slept with Jose…I get the feeling that you've never had sex before. Am I right?"

(Ana looks down in shame, causing Christian to gently squeeze her hand in comfort)

Christian: "I want to make something very clear, my love. NEVER be embarrassed to admit something as sensitive as your virginity. You have a right to want to wait until you feel safe and comfortable with your significant other before taking that step. Anyone who tells you differently doesn't deserve you. If I have EVER given you that impression, I will forever be sorry, my love."

(Ana quickly shakes her head in a panic before speaking)

Ana: "Oh, no, Christian! No, you have never unintentionally said or done anything! If I ever did feel that way, I would tell you. You have been nothing but kind, respectful, and loving." (jokingly) "And, yes, you do express yourself, but that's because I asked you to do that. You are just fine, Grey." (shrugs) "I'm going to guess you're curious why I've never had sex before?"

Christian: (nods) "Yes, I admit I have wondered that. But, that's your story to tell. I would never pressure you. If you ever feel comfortable enough to tell me, I'm here."

(All of a sudden, the waiter brings them their dishes. The couple each say thank you before digging into their meal. When their mouth isn't full of food, they engage in small talk. They enjoy their meal and devour it before coming to an end. They rest their dishes to the side of the table, taking a drink of their beverage, before Christian gets up and offers his hand to his lady love)

Christian: (sweetly) "May I have this dance, Miss Steele?"

Ana: (giggles) "You may indeed, Mr. Grey."

(She rests her hand in his and he leads her to the dance floor. They sway to the music and she can't help but giggle when he bows her body down before they're face to face again. They stare into the others eyes and he smiles before pecking her nose with his lips. After dancing a bit more, he takes her hands in his and they walk to their table. He takes out her chair so she can sit down and then scoots her in. After he sits down, he smiles sweetly at her)

Christian: "I hope you're enjoying yourself."

Ana: (nods & smiles) "More than you know. This is the perfect first date. I hope there are many more dates to come."

Christian: (smiles proudly) "I'm glad you said that. I can't wait to spoil you and shower you with love…more than what I'm already doing."

Ana: (chuckles) "Before your last sentence, I was going to say you've been spoiling me enough, Grey."

Christian: (smirks) "Then I guess jewelry can wait until later…at least until the second date."

Ana: (eyes widen in shock) "Oh, Christian! You spoil me enough with your kind words and your love for me as well as your devotion. I don't need expensive jewelry. All I need is you."

Christian: (rolls his eyes playfully) "Oh, Steele. You're going to be the death of me. It's going to be hard as hell not to spoil you." (tilts his head) "Occasional jewelry? Sound fair enough?"

(Ana shakes her head and laughs before nodding)

Ana: "Okay, it's a deal."

(They have a drink of their beverages before enjoying some cheesecake for dessert. Afterwards, even though they are both having so much fun, they decide to call it a night)

Christian: "I'm not ready to share you with anyone else yet, but I know I must."

Ana: (giggles) "I'm the same way. I don't want to share you with anyone else, either. But, I know you're all mine."

Christian: (nods) "I'm yours for life. My mind, my body, my soul, my spirit. It's a permanent lock, Steele. All that I am is yours."

Ana: "You're right. Even though I don't want our night to end, I know that it has to sooner or later. There's always date #2. I, for one, can't wait."

(After Christian helps her out of her seat, they get their coats on. They walk to Christian's vehicle. He smiles a bit as he opens the passenger door for her. After she gets in, he goes to his side and gets in. He drives to her apartment parking lot and parks. He, again, helps her out of her side and walks her to the front door. They face each other lovingly looking into the other's eyes)

Christian: "I love you, Anastasia Rose Steele."

Ana: "I love you more, Christian Edward Grey."

(He leans forward, rests his right hand on her left cheek and passionately kisses his girl. Both moan from the excitement of the kiss. After pulling away, they face each other)

Christian: (breathlessly) "As always, the kiss was exquisite."

Ana: "Can't wait until the next one."

Christian: "There will definitely be plenty more where that came from."

(From the moan the two shared a moment ago from the kiss, it was clear it left both wanting more. After saying their goodbyes, Christian makes his exit. Ana shuts the door and rests her back against it. She smiles happily that she not only got her perfect date, but her dream man, too. She couldn't be any more excited for the future, for what's next to come)

(Meanwhile, Christian was elated that he finally found someone who completed him. His life couldn't get any better if he tried)
