Chapter Twenty Seven

Friday, 17th June

Thank you all for enjoying, I hope you continue to with this chapter & beyond! I love reading all of your reviews & I'm so thankful.

I wake up to sweet kisses along the side of my face, opening my eyes I see Christian sat on the edge of the bed.

"I have to go in early, I have a breakfast meeting." He grumbles, we've gotten into a routine of having breakfast together before he goes to work and I stay home. I'm trying to enjoy the downtime before I go back to work next week.

"What's the time?" I sleepily ask.

"Half six." He replies with a frown.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, we'll have a lie in then a long hot shower together." I suggest rubbing my hand along his thigh.

"I have to leave in five minutes." He groans.

"Okay, I'll stop."

"When we get back tonight, playroom." He groans.

"If you're lucky. What's happening tonight?" I ask.

"I was going to surprise you by taking you out on the Grace, but it's going to storm so we'll just go out for dinner." He pouts.

"It's almost like we live in Seattle where it rains a lot." I snark.

"Very funny."

"I know. I love you." I whisper.

"I love you too, will you be ready to go when I get back?"

"What time will that be?"

"Seven."

"Okay. I have twelve hours without seeing you and I want to spent at least another one hour of those asleep pretending you're right here with me." I moan snuggling further into the duvet, Christian smiles before kissing my cheek one last time.

"Laters baby." He whispers.

"Laters baby." I whisper back feeling a soft kiss to the top of my head, I fall back to sleep listening to his footsteps out of our bedroom, down the hall, away from me.

When I wake again it's seven thirty, I throw on a pair of workout leggings with matching sports bra, hoodie and a pair of Nikes. After a delicious smoothie courtesy of Gail I go to the gym downstairs with Sawyer. I've always worked out in some way, the last few days I've really enjoyed being in the gym. And practicing will help me give Christian his birthday present which is being delivered later today, yesterday I blushed my way through telling Sawyer to help me for it to be installed without Christian knowing. I have a more substantial breakfast after my workout then change into a separate set of workout gear to install and test Christian's new birthday present.

Finally it's done! Christian is in for the shock of a lifetime with this birthday present I grin giving it a test run making sure everything is secure. It's perfect! Better than what I practiced with when I began. I'm interrupted halfway through practicing by my phone pinging signalling an email, I roll my eyes until I realise it could be Christian.

Dear Colleagues,

There have been rumours lately about our company being taken over, and I would like to confirm those rumours. I will be staying on with the company in my usual capacity however, now we will be under the umbrella of new owners. With staff being out of the office this week it has given our management time to have more in depth meetings with our new owners about the future of SIP in a more immediate manner. We will be moving to a new building next week, if all goes to plan we will be in our new home Thursday. When you arrive at our normal/old building Monday morning please go on with your duties as normal, management and the new owners will be speaking to everyone individually about their future with SIP. Another major change will be the name of our company, the new owners have changed our name to reflect our new name we will be:

Grey Publishing.

Our new company owner is Grey Enterprise Holdings ran by Seattle's own Christian Grey, I have been in talks with Mr Grey for weeks and he is eager to work his magic in bringing Grey Publishing to its former glory while also bringing us further into the Twenty first century. I would like to take this opportunity to reassure you all that we are going through employee records and apart from a few minor issues we have no severe problems with any current employees of SIP.

I hope you have enjoyed your time off,

Gerry Roach,

CEO of Grey Publishing, Subsidiary of GEH.

What the fuck? Why didn't Christian tell me about this? We've spent so much time this week talking, learning everything possible about each other did he not think to talk to me about this?

Were you not the one who wanted to be an independent woman, not to be given special privileges because your boyfriend is buying the company? If you want the good, the bad comes with it. My conscience berates me. When you add in everything that has happened this week I can't be angry with him. I decide to continue setting up his birthday present wondering if I can keep him up until midnight to indulge. My phone pings again this time with a text from Christian.

Did you get the email from Roach?

Yes.

And?

And, what?

Anastasia, are you mad at me?

No. Why would I be mad? I mean, I was at first.

But not anymore?

No.

Why?

I was the one who wanted to not blur the lines.

So we're okay?

Yes, we're okay. Wait, do I still have a job?

Yes.

I'll find out Monday? ;)

Yes. I love you, Anastasia.

I love you too, Christian. See you at seven.

"Gail, do we have everything needed to make a chocolate cake?" I ask thankful Christian told me about his favourite cake flavour the other day.

"We need double cream, chocolate and cocoa powder. Would you like me to go and get some?" She kindly replies.

"It's okay, I can do it I need to pick up a card and some wrapping paper for tomorrow." I grin texting myself my list. I want to make his birthday as wonderful as I can, he makes me feel loved in a way I have never felt before, as though we were the in the truest of love straight from the greatest love story ever told.

I spend extra time primping myself ready for tonight, I have a natural clear glitter mani pedi, my legs are shaved, my entire body is exfoliated, moisturised and my face has a light covering of makeup, I put my hair up in a classy bun with a couple of curls at the side. I can't recognise the beauty in the mirror as I inspect myself dressed in a red lacy bra with matching high waisted panties. I look up to see the reflection of my real life Adonis in the reflection. Christian has stripped on his way into the wardrobe and is wearing nothing but his boxers. He comes up behind me wrapping his hands around my waist pulling my back into his chest.

"Do we have to go for dinner?" He whispers in my ear.

"Yes." I groan as he licks my neck before coughing.

"What the fuck?" He spits.

"I've already put my perfume on my neck." I say before descending into uncontrollable laughter.

Please review.
