APOV

Upon leaving the church, we separate and head to our car's.

It was just Christian and I. As Ell and Kate were in his car.

We were meeting for brunch at the Mile High Club, it was something new they were trying.

I asked Christian, as we were heading to brunch how he felt, going back to church after being absent for so long. His answer was simple…

"I now have someone to be thankful for. Yes, my parents and sibling love me. And I love them. But God put you in my path to save my soul. I will be forever grateful of that. I need to let him know. Going back, and attending regularly. Will be something that I will always enjoy." he brings my hand up to his mouth, brushing his lips across my knuckles.

As soon as we parked the car, my phone started to ring with my parents ringtone. I looked at Christian, saying it my mom. He shut the car off as I answered.

"Hi Mom, and Dad!" said happily, glad they had called.

"Hell'o beautiful daughter… How are you today?" they said together. Both started softly laughing. They were always finishing each other's sentences.

"I am doing good, hows Sydney? Are you still loving life down under?"

"You know it, baby girl. Just going to throw some shrimp on the barbie and going to have a cold one!" I heard my dad say..

"So you have friends coming over and your having beer to drink? Did I get that right Dad?" I say with a little giggle.

"Rightyo baby girl! How's life in Seattle? Hows your apartment and Kate? Are you still enjoying your job flying around?"

"I am loving my apartment, my job is wonderful. And Kate's, Kate.. she always great."

After chatting with my dad a few more minutes, he hands the phone to mom so her and I have a chat.

"Are you okay Anastasia? I hear something in your voice. Can you tell me what's wrong?" Georgia implores..

"Oh Mom, I am just missing you and daddy. I wish you guys were here and not so far away from me. I wish you could just move back to Seattle and stay in our house in here?"

I know that the sadness in my voice will call to my mom's heart.

"Oh baby, let talk to Dad, maybe he can get away for a couple of weeks and we can come visit, will that be okay? But now, you can't be sad! I wanted to check how about my fabulous daughter and I want to hear about everything that is going on with you, baby girl."

Mom is trying to lighten the mood.

"Wellllllllll, Kate and I finally have our year in, and we have been given hour vacation time. Plus all our other benefits at GA. We got our pay raises, all the other perks! " I squeal happy. My dad laughing listen to my excitement.

"That's ' good sweetie. So what are you planning for two weeks off?"

"Mom, Kate and I plan to visiting Okinawa. We are hitting the beach, we want to tour the Shuri Castle, and go to Cape Manza, Murasaki Mura which is An entertainment park where you can experience Okinawan culture. From Karate to Okinawan cooking, to Ryukyu glass making, and traditional Okinawan dyeing. We just want to be tourist. We are in need of some bright sun and sandy beaches mom. Seattle is rainy! "

I give her the dates of our vacation, and she makes notes of it. I excitedly tell her of our plan's.

"Good baby, I will inform Candy to accompany you with Kate in Japan. And don't forget to take a lot pictures to send to us. You know how much I enjoy seeing your adventures and take a couple of good ones to frame .I need a new picture of my girls!!" I roll my eyes remembering that CPO be informed of our vacation. I rarely remember she is with me.

Dad get a little bit over protective about us the girls take vacation alone.

I always knew that I had a security person to shadow me. I mostly forgot about them. I never heard or saw them unless a issue arose. But I never complaint about them.

Christian seems to be sitting contently listening to my conversation with my parents.

I listen to my mom telling me about their home in Auckland and Sydney, all their friends and what they had been doing. I ask about my grandparents, I was reminded to call them soon. My birth parents didn't have any family left. So when the Lambert's adopted me, I got two sets of grandparents .

While my daddy parents had their own home at Mercer Island, they were both retired lawyers, and now lived to play bridge and have their garden club. And various other things that kept them busy. I try to visit once a month, most the time they were out and about and came and to visit me when I am home.

Mommy parents live in New York, they donate and run a shelter for victims of domestic abuse. They bought an took a older hotel and turned into mini apartments for single woman and woman with children to have a safe place to stay. She has people donate their time to help teach basic skills and educational courses to help them get jobs. Self defence classes. Free babysitting. Where some of the other woman that lived their help out in. They learned to become independent. There is off duty police officers that man's the front desk at all times. They keep these woman safe.

I'm so lucky got them as my family. My dad has one sister Aunt Maggie, she is married to uncle Thomas, with three kids. My mom's brother uncle Jeff, he is married to Aunt Gwen, they have six kids. Mom's says he was busy and didn't like to sleep much! But the best thing about my all of this? I was the loved granddaughter, the neice and the cousin. No one ever questioned that I belonged… they loved me unconditionally. I was so very blessed for the life my parents gave me when they adopted me.

"Mom, is dad still out of the room?"

"Yes, why?" She answered me.

"OK soooo, Mom so the other day I meet someone, and he is very, very special to me… He is quite handsome man actually and we lived in the same building.

We have became a couple, and I could not be happier. He is everything. My life was missing piece, I found it with him. He is half of my soul. " I caress Christian jaw with my other free hand when telling mom my story about first time I met him. He give me shyly smiles and take my hand to his lip. His face checks pink up in a blush, because of being a little embarrassed listening my conversation with mom. He so cute and I want to jump on him right now.

" Can you tell daddy please? I don't want him to overreact!" I say giggling when I start thinking about it. Christian look at me funny, which causes me giggle more... Just you wait Mr. Grey, you'll be meeting my daddy soon enough!

Mom asks a few questions, and assures me that she will tell daddy, and try to keep him from flying in.

"Mom, would you like to speak with him? He is setting here beside me, would you like to say hello?" She practically squeals yes!!

With a laugh, I give my phone to Christian.

He takes it without worries. He is the charming man that I fell in love with. He is so confident and earnest in his answers.

Almost fifteen minutes later mom and Christian say their goodbye and I say we will talk again soon. . And she promises me they will come to Seattle soon.

I will waiting for a visit my parents. Knowing my dad it will be sooner rather than later.

Christian get a text from Elliot and he says they are starving. Wanting to know where we are.

"Baby, Elliot and Kate have already been seated in our private room. We need to hurry, or Elliot will order without us!" Christian say shaking his head at this brother. Who knows what exactly that he texted.

We walk in heading straight to the private dining area. This area is is exclusively for the Grey's. Since Christian own's Mile High and he building, he can have his own private dining room I guess. I can hear Kate's laughing at something that Elliot is telling her.

This is the first time I have seen she this happy. Kate college ex, was awful. He cheated on her, with her friends. After they broke up when they were juniors. Kate refused to date after that.

"Oh man, where did you guys go? Why were you so late? I am so hungry, and Kate wouldn't let me order anything because that would just be rude! He says in a higher pitched voice, imitating Kate! He is whining like a little kid. We all cannot help but to chuckle at him.

"Sorry Elliot. I just got call from my parents when your brother parked the car." I lean over to him and give him kiss on the cheek.

"Mom and Dad Lambert call you sis? How are they doing? Dad still trying to talk like a Aussie? Slang and all??" Kate inquires.

"Yes, they are good. Dad was throwing some 'shrimp on the barbie and having a cold one' Which means they're having friends over and drinking beer. Although, Mom did promised to come to Seattle soon. "I tell her. I link my fingers with Christians. Who give me a little grin. If Kate notices, she never says anything.

We soon order our meals, we really enjoy them. Christian and I share bites off each others plate. We just sit and have a relaxing visit, and just talking with each other.

Kate and I take a moment to visits the ladies room, I ask Kate if she would like to ask the boys to come with us to Japan.

She is agree with me and she would love have Elliot with her. Now we just need to ask the boys, hoping that they would want to join us.

When we get back to our seats, Christian and Elliot both seem very annoyed. And have a scowls spoiling their handsome faces.

"Hey love, what happened? You look annoyed. Is everything alright?" I ask Christian while holding his hand to calm him.

"My mom called me, it seems that our sister got herself in a little bit of trouble. She has over extended her limits, with the given credit cards from Elliot and I." Christian rolls his eyes, he clearly frustrated with his sister.

"Yeah apparently our little sister over used credit cards which we gave her.

She went over the limits set by us. The we have on her cards. And then she decided to called the card companies, saying she was our wives trying to increase the limit on them.

But both of us got warning that hit our phones. We called and they told us what happened. We called and left a message for her to call us. But she wouldn't answer her cell phone. So Christian called and left a message with mom and dad. Who personally delivered it to her this morning. Now she afraid if we will cut her off!" Elliot chuckles. As they tell us about Mia and her antic's . Their sister and the only girl in the family and how they have spoiled her to rotten. Christian says she is going to work for him as a gloried goofer, and she is going to pay off her bill herself. He is going to take her card back and cut it into. Instead of helping her, they have created a terror.

Elliot is a bit more devious, since he does not have a housekeeper. He is going to have her come in four days a week, evening mind you to clean his apartment. Do laundry and cook meals. With the Friday and Saturday being the nights that he choses along with Tuesday and Wednesday. She will be hating her life. And if she refuses. Then he going to take her car and sell it for the balance owed. It's in his name.

Kate and I finally get them to quit talking about Mia and her upcoming punishments.

"Ok boys Kate and I want to ask you something!" I say nervously and get nodding to ask away from Elliot and Christian.

"What do you think about joining Kate and I on vacations to Okinawa? We had our 2 weeks off and planned to go there for vacation. So what do you think?" I tell them the exact dates and where we are staying… I know both of them are busy men with their own successful businesses. So I'm not sure they have time to join us. Inside I say a little prayer that Christian will be able to come with me. I want this time together. In the future, I am sure that there will be a great many vacations and getaways for us. But I want this time.

As boyfriend and girlfriend, together to create many happy memories.

Leaning over, Christian gives me a deep kiss, with a sweet smile on his face, he clasps my hand in his, "Thank you for including me Ana. This means so much to me that you are inviting me.

Of course, I can make time for go with you baby. Just let me make some changes to my schedule. I will contact my PA in the morning, and then we will be good to go." Christian tells me excitedly..

I squeal unlady like listening to him. I dance in my seat! I grab him and hug him so tightly. I'm so happy!! Being away from him, I think my heart would break from sadness.

Now we just need to get Elliot's answer, since he is also CEO in his own company like his brother. But I know that construction is different than mergers and acquisitions. I am sure that he has some big responsibility.

All of us look at Elliot, waiting of his answer nervously. If he can't go with us Kate will be alone without her boyfriend. I don't think she will have as much fun. Especially since Christian has agreed to go. Elliot give us playfully smirk, I can see from his body language that he wants us wondering about his answer.

If this make my best friend happy in the end I'll play along with his game.

"Hmmm… I don't know guys my schedule already full booking this months.I need check it first and will come back to you later guys." He is so annoying.

Kate face falls with his answer I can see she get upset with this situation and I can't see her sad.

I kick Elliot's legs hard under the table! Making him jump, reaching down he rub his shin. I know that it was painful.

"AWWW… What the fuck…." Before he continue his words I stare hard at him and dare him to say anything else.

Christian know what I did to his asshat brother!

So being the wonderful man I know he is, he speaks up

"Don't worry Kate! If my idiot brother won't be join us travelling, I'll bring one of my new employees. According to the ladies in the office, he is handsome and has a very cute ass.

He is well educated, and is a catch! Well, that's what Andera and Oliva, my PA, say about him. And since I am the boss. He will be approved this time off with pay. You not stuck with Ell, just let me know which one you pick. And I'll take care of the rest!" I think I love him more after sticking up for Kate that way!!

He definitely knew how to turn around situation. . Elliot was so surprise listen to Christian. You can tell he is fuming at what Christian has said.

"Thank you Christian.I will think about it. And tell you my decision later," Kate answer him.

Elliot starts to panic listening to them make plans.

"Heyyyy…. Now wait a minute, I'm not saying that I cannot go. I said I'd have to see if I can make arrangements. What the fuck Christian ??? What are you thinking? Hooking my girl up with someone else? Have you fucking lost your tiny mind? Do you think I will let any fucker befriend with my girlfriend?" Elliot is very pissed by this point. I think I see steam coming from his ears!

"Really Elliot?? … You want to play games, and leave her and us hanging till you decide something. That you already know the answer to? Why? What do joy do you get out of being a asshat? . Don't you think we can't see through your bullshit. You want to play us? Please, with that face I'd love to play poker with you!!! I'd be rich!" I scold him.

Kate glare at him, and now he just smiles to her like loon.

"Kate, baby… I was just kidding…" he tries to coo.

Kate cuts him off with a devastated look and a very hurt and pain filled voice.

"Are you for real Elliot? I told you about the last guy I was with. How he loved playing mind games with me. I told you how he hurt me. The things he did, and said, 'he'd see if he could make time to spend with me?' All the while he was out screwing my wannabe friends? Then you start this shit? Why are trying to play me, Grey??? You how he hurt me. I told you that and more! I don't think I can ever look at your right now! This is just to much.. I can't believe you'd do this to me Ell… I thought you cared." Kate says with tears in her eyes.

Elliot so shocked by her announcement, listening to her heartbreaking voice he is starting to panic, he sees his plan is blowing up in his face. He doesn't know what to do. What to say. He is flabbergasted that this has blown wide open. Right In His Face!!!

But, actually he doesn't really need panic, because I know Kate.

She is just putting the fear of God in him.

Kate minored in theater, she is one hell of a actress.

But it never hurts to scare him! He shouldn't play mind games with her or us.

Whispering in Christian ear, to hold on tight and enjoy the show… shit is about to get interesting.

"Elliot, I cannot believe you'd play me like this… do you want to be begged?? You want me to beg you to come with us?? Is that what does it for you?" Huge crocodile tears slide down

Kate's cheeks… her chin trembles.

Wide eyed, and terrified of a woman's tears..."Babe … Kate, please I'm only joking with you.

Of course I can go with you all to Okinawa, my work this month not really jammed up.

I can have my site managers take over for a couple of weeks. I can go whenever you want."

Elliot pleading to Kate. " I am so sorry Kate, please forgive me, I will never do this again…" taking her hand into his, looking so sincerely into her eyes, "Please forgive me Kate."

"Are you sure, Ell?? I don't want to force you into something you don't want to do.

If you don't want to go, I am sure Christians friend will be just fine to take. Cause if you don't honestly want to go, then I'd rather you stay here than be miserable." Kate responds…

with a little hiccupy voice.

"No!! Fuck NO! I want to go with you. Christians friend can fuck off!!" Elliot declares.

Suddenly, Kate is all smiles and starts to laugh…

"What the hell Kate? What was all that?? I thought..." he asked dumbfounded

"You thought you'd play me.. Didn't you asshat! Kate interrupts. "I got my minor in acting in college Ell, and can cry on command. If you hadn't been a dick, and try to play me and Ana and Christian then I would not have played your ass! If you can't take it, then don't dish it out! Jerk!!" Kate lets him have it!! With fire in her eyes.

"Baby your friend so scary. Tell me not get on her bad side." Christian whisper on my ear.

and it is so funny to watch. It's great to see him get handed his ass. I hate a player!

Kate try to not to laugh, as she bites her lip hard. Then lets out giggles to a full blown belly laugh!

Elliot's face is so funny, and the situation of him getting his dues handed to him…

Well Christian and I soon follow suite and we are rolling with laughter. Elliots face is priceless.

I try to stop laughing but when I see Elliots face, it's just so funny..

I try so hard to get myself back in control, I bite my lip and try to hide my face in Christian's arm. He tilt my face so I can look at him, he frees my lip from my teeth with his thumb. He kisses me and bites my lip with his teeth.

Oh God it is so hot and my panty get wetter, I want jump him but I don't want other people looking at us.

I can't take it anymore, Christian really make me hot and crazy with his hand which creep under my dress and now circling near my sex. His hands wandering around my thigh, up to my wet folds and his thumb press my clit it makes me so turn on. I almost moan loudly but I remember we are not alone right now. If he continues this torture I don't know if I can hold any longer. His fingers prob inside my panties and he put 2 fingers inside my wet folds,it's startles me. I jump, almost out of my chair.

"What happened Ana? Are you okay? You flushed??" Kate ask me worriedly.

I give Christian my glare but this smug bastard just chuckling. Elliot eyes me curiously but I think he know what his jerk brother is up to. He smirk rather smugly at me.

"Don't worry Kate! Ana is alright she just surprise with what my brother is up to under the table." Bloody cow Elliot with his unfiltered mouth.

Kate eyes crinkle at the corners, listening to his explanation.

She know what he means, she look at me like she can't believe with what Elliot just said.

"Let's go home Christian!! You mister will pay for teasing me like that in front of them.

Now let's go and we will continue your little game in the privacy of your room. "

But maybe I need to take page out of Kate's play book. "You aren't getting lucky when we get back. I may just go home and start my laundry, or go to the grocery store… and you can go home and play with yourself!!" I declare.

Kate cringes listen to my outburst and Christian pretty surprised himself.

He never thought that I blatantly talk to him like that. I am have been a virgin yesterday, but I have stuck up for myself for years.

Serve you right Grey don't mess with me.

Christians eyes widen! He is completely shocked at my reaction!

"Ewww… TMI guys!!I don't want listen about my brother sex life it is so gross." Elliot say disgustedly.

"Holy hell sissy… Grey has turned you into a vocal woman??" Kate says.

I just ignored them and stared at Christian, finally holding my hand out. "I think we have had enough brunch… are you ready to go home now?"

With a nod of his head, a gleam in his eyes and a smirk on his lips, he takes my hand, we say our goodbyes, and we quickly exit the restaurant, then down to the valet to get his car.

We don't speak on the car ride back. Both of us seems to keyed up to say much.

I keep thinking to myself, virgin one day, sex fiend the next!

After parking his car in the garage, I walk to to elevator. I might have added a bit more swing to my hips… waiting on him to catch up with me… It would appear that he added his own swagger to his walk.. And my, oh my is he a sexy man…

We enter the elevator, Christian enters the pass code.

Before the door has slid shut, Christian has me pinned against the wall. His lips are on mine, holding one of my hands in his above our heads.

"God baby..I want you so bad, he moans across my necks. It was all I could do not to find a dark corner in restaurant today. You miss Lambert are going to drive me crazy with your delicious smell. And sexy as hell body, those beautiful tits, are perky and peaking out of the top of that dress… And that ass.. " He reaches with around and grabs a handful!

"Then you took control.. Sweet baby, I almost came in my pants like a fifteen year old horny kid! I don't think I have ever been this hard. I ache for you! Please let me have you…" he coos

"Christian… me too, I want your love. I have wanted your hard dick inside of me all day long.

I've wanted to take that hard velvet covered steel staff out your pants, I have imagined inside me all morning… I can still feel it inside me from last night… I have been so wet for you and I been staring at that bulge all day, and I just want to ride you." moaning before attaching my lips to his.

We leave the elevator, he tells me to head on to his room. He will be right there. I lingered in the hall, I heard him tell Taylor to take the rest of the day off. To make sure he turned of the cameras inside the penthouse and to lock down the elevator. No one is to entry for the rest of the day. He will call him if he needs him.

Taylor tells him that Gail has left a light lunch in the fridge, along with sandwich ingredients are in there to.

After some very enjoyable hours, and my pussy has went on strike!

Christian said his dick was sore, we had a shower and went to the kitchen in search of food. I heat up the grilled chicken Gail left. Making me a grilled chicken, pecan and apple salad and Christian a loaded grilled chicken sandwich, which he loved, it had bacon and avocado, my special mayonnaise, lettuce, saute' onions, tomato's. He like it so much he ate two.

'How do you feel now baby?? Are you very sore? Was I to rough on you, my love?"

Christian kiss my head when we finished up eating. I was getting up to put away our dishes.

"No babe. I'm so tired now but I feel so perfect and I can't say it with words.

You make me feel so wonderful and you woke the feeling, I never knew I had.

Everything is so, perfect with you. I feel like we are meant to be. That this is where I am suppose to be. With you here! So, thank you. You make me happier than I ever though I could be." I kiss his chest and look up at him so he know that I am answering him with what is in my heart.

"Let's take a bath and we can just set in the tub and relax. I have a jacuzzi tub, that has all these wonderful jets…. "

"Okay, but we are just cuddling, until we get sleepy. No funny business Mister! "

"Anything you want baby. As long as your happy and it will make me happy. I love you Anastasia."

" As I love you too sweetheart." I kiss him softly and back put my head on his chest.

We go to Christians room, and into the bathroom. He turns on the faucets, and when the level is high enough he turns on the jets. He adds some Creed Silver Mountain, fragrance to the water. It has a calming, relaxing scent.

We cuddling in the warm water. Holding each other and just relaxing talking quietly .

"What are your plans tomorrow? Your not going in to GEH? Didn't you say you had taken the day off?"

"Yes tomorrow, and Tuesday, I will go in the rest of the week to make sure everything is covered for our vacation. I am not doing any special. But I think I will start to implement the changes in the condo, if it is okay with you." He says.

"We can do anything you like baby. I hope you will be happy with the changes we decide on. I just want you to be able to enjoy, being able to relax in your home." I am excited to get started actually. This will be fun.

"I think I will enjoy the changes. Like you said, if I am comfortable, then my quests will be to. And since your the only guest that I want, I want you to enjoy your time here with me." he says.

'"Can we have Gail's input ? I think, since she is in charge of cleaning and she is oversees everything household wise. She should be included." I explain

Gail, has worked for him a long time. She has seen a lot in her time here with him. She should get input.

"Of course baby. do it as long as you comfortable around her. Gail is one of the few women that I enjoy being around. She keeps Taylor on his toes." He says with a chuckle!

" I know you have only met her a couple of times. But think you will like her baby."

We leave the tub when the water starts to turn cooler. Grabbing some towels we dry off and head to bed. We striped the sheets earlier, so we are climbing in a clean bed. After a marathon of sex. Neither of us wanted to sleep on those sheets.

We talked until we are fell asleep, sleeping through the whole night. Christian never loosened his hold on my body, and I feel so comfortable with it. One thing I know from when we slept together, that he was nightmare free, he sleeps so peacefully through the night. I'm so happy that my presence help him rest.

That I can help him to chase away nightmares, makes me feel wonderful.

He need to rest his body and mind. I love that I can offer that small amount of comfort to him.

Beep.. Beep.. Beep

Uhhh… I jump.. . whhhaatt… oh… Who set up alarm for this early morning???

I am still sleepy for pete shake. I stretched my body and groaning. Christian nuzzles closer to me and hugged me tightly.

"Good morning baby, did my alarm scare you?" Christian whispered in my ear and it tickled.

I turned towards him and caressed his sleepy face.

"No, dear, your alarm just surprised me a little. Are you still sleepy?" He put his face in my chest and pull my nipple in his mouth. Suckling it deliciously, I let my moan out.

My hand tugging his hair and give a little massage to his scalp. He is humming with my nipple still in his mouth.

After a early morning workout, I head to the shower alone, I put my hair up in a clip, and hurry through my shower! If he came with me, we'd never get out.

Deciding to cook egg white omelettes, with spinach, tomato and feta cheese, with whole wheat toast, and for breakfast, and I cut up fresh fruit to go with it.

I have the ihome playing and in my zone cooking when, I turn and give a start. Gail is standing there with a smile on her pretty face.

"Good morning Ana, I hope I didn't scare you." She say with a small grin.

" Oh no your fine… I mean, Good morning, Gail. I'm just concentrating on making breakfast for Christian and I. Sorry, about the mess I have made of the kitchen.!" I smiled at her

Gail smiled at me, saying "pish posh, I don't see a mess. And if there was one, I'd clean it up, that is my job" she say with a grin.

I ask her if she'd like to join Christian and me for breakfast. I could easily make another omelette or two.

She thanks me and says her and Jason have already eaten.

She expresses that she'd be more than happy to finish up for me.

" I really enjoy cooking, and don't get to it as much as I like to to my work schedule. That, and I wanted to make it for Christian." I know that I have a school girl blush going on.

Gail inquires if she could be of any help. Which I jump at the chance to ask her is she'd make some coffee. That machine is a little bit intimidating.

Not a problem, and she proceeds to makes the coffee.

"What intimidates you Ana? " Christian walk in the kitchen wearing his dark blue Armani suit. Hmm he look so delicious like that. I lick my lip and look at him. He know what I think and he give me smirk.

"Gail agreed to make the coffee? That space age coffee maker is what intimidates me!" I say to him.

I forgotten to brush my teeth and when Christian walk to kiss me. I duck it and I think I shocks him. He look disappointed but I quick explain to him.

"Sorry babe, I forgot to brush my teeth after I showered. I was in a hurry to make your breakfast. I don't want to kiss you with morning breath." I smile playfully at him.

He doesn't care about it , he leans down and kisses me and continues to kiss me. Wow!!

Everything is ready. I told Christian to sit down and eat his breakfast. Whereas I ran to brush my teeth and wash my face. I returned to enjoy breakfast with Christian. When I walked close to the kitchen I heard Gail say that she was happy to see me with Christian. And she felt I was the woman who was right for him.

"Christian I can see how happy you, and Ana make each other. I have never saw you smile like you do with her. I know it's not my place and Jason told me to stay out of it.

I just had to let you know. She's is the woman who suits you, she seems so crazy about you. And you her. Don't let her go. You will regret it the rest of your life if you do. Love like this only comes around once in a lifetime." she implores.

"You are right, Gail, I am very fortunate to have found Anastasia. She knows about my past, she knows everything about me. And has accepted me as I am. I always want to look after her and make her happy."

" Actually I am the one who are lucky in here Gail" I reply walking back in and pecking Christin on the cheek. Neither, realised I am standing there. " For the first time in my life I have met the man, who not just handsome but has the biggest heart, full of love for the ones he cares for" I walk to Christian open arms and kiss him with all my heart. I don't care even Gail can see our PDA, the man in my arms right now most important.

Gail smiles looking at us and I can see in her eyes if she is truly happy for us.

Christian says he has a change of plans. He has to head in for a meeting with Roz about a company he want to buy in Japan that's on the verge of bankruptcy. He is not sure how long it will take.

I want to make sure he know my schedule today. I want his full agreement when I ask Gail to help with the redesigning of the condo.

"Gail, If not too busy today, I would like to ask you to help me, Christian is wanting to redesign his condo, making it feel welcoming and comfortable. So, since you spend so much time here. I would love if you would give me your thoughts and feedback on what we choose" I tell Gail.

"I'm not too busy Ana. If I can ask, why are you changing the design? " Gail curiously asked.

"Gail, I want my penthouse to be more feel homey and more comfortable. This is the beginning of changes that will start my new journey." Christian tell her.

Gail just nodding her head sign she understands what Christian means.

Christian needs to go now because his meeting starts at 10 am. I walk with him to elevator, kiss him and wish him have a good day. I request that Taylor, keeps a close eye on him. That he is incredibly important to me. With a nod of his head, he agree to.

We make plans to have dinner together tonight. He says we will go out. I over ride him and say we are staying in and I will cook.

After he leaves, Gail and I start talking about what needs to stay and what has to go.

Both agree that the hard couch in the living room needs to go as soon as possible. Its like setting on concrete. We think the new design should have a vintage design feel. It will be great in the penthouse. We browse the internet, deciding that we really need to do is, go look for new furniture together. To get some ideas.

I need head home and change my clothes, I'll ask Kate if she wants to tag along with us. So Gail grabs her bag, and I grab mine, and we head down to my apartment.

What do you think about this chapter everyone??

Please leave me your reviews and if you have advice for me it will be great help too.

Thank you and have a nice weekend.
