Chapter 23

New Job

Ana was a nervous wreck. Christian had kissed her goodbye already; he had an early breakfast meeting with Ros and had to leave before Ana. She ate some toast at the breakfast bar before she left for her new job. That was all she could manage. Gail made her a sack lunch that she may or may not eat. The school had a cafeteria but Ana remembered all too well the food at her high school and wasn't sure she wanted to eat it willingly.

Sawyer dropped her off in front of the library. Christian was not too keen on leaving her alone without her personal protection but it was a closed campus and the school didn't allow anyone to have bodyguards. There were a few high profile students that went there and no one could get past the guard at the gate without a pass. So at least she didn't have to worry about how to explain Sawyer to the students. He would pick her up after her shift ended at 3:00 pm.

Ana used her key fob to let herself into the library and walked to the front desk and waited. She was going to meet her supervisor here before the kids started coming in for the day. Mrs. Thompson was at the staff meeting yesterday and Ana liked her immediately. She was a smart older lady who went to college after her children left the nest. She told Ana that she had always wanted to be a librarian and would work until she died!

"Ana. Welcome. I'm glad we didn't scare you off yesterday." Mrs. Thompson said shaking hands with Ana and indicated for her to follow her. "Yesterday was a little hectic. We didn't have your office ready yet." She showed Ana a small room with a desk and computer and small bookcase. It was not much bigger than Ana's car. "Put your purse and things in your desk and then come back to the front desk. We'll get your access codes for the computers and get you logged onto the system before the students arrive."

"Okay. Thanks." Ana did what she suggested then shrugged off her light weight jacket. Nerves were making her sweat. She took a deep breath and walked out of her office and over to the front desk where Mrs. Thompson was waiting. Two more people came in the front door and waved to them as they went to different parts of the two story library.

"You will shadow me today. Here's a note pad to write any questions you might have. We'll go over them when we get a break between classes coming in. The incoming senior class will have their class meeting here in the conference room on the second floor at 2:00 pm. You will sit in on that meeting with me." Ana nodded. Mrs. Thompson booted up the computers and helped Ana log into the system.
"I will get you signed up to your school email account later. We will do that after lunch in your office."

The rest of the day passed quickly for Ana. She was glad she dressed casually because she felt like she walked her legs off. She shelved books and walked up the stairs to the second floor computer lab at least 10 times. When Sawyer picked her up at 3:00 pm she was beat. She took a shower and was lounging on the couch in the living room when Christian came home from work.

"How was your first day?" He asked as he kissed her cheek. "Do you think you will like it?" He shrugged out of his suit coat and loosened his tie and sat down beside her. She snuggled into him.

"It was great. The library is amazing. I love my boss and I walked at least 15 miles today. I am exhausted." Ana said, yawning really big. Her stomach growled just then.

"Sounds like you worked up an appetite. Did you have lunch?" Christian asked.

"Yes, I ate my lunch that Gail prepared for me. The school lunches didn't look to appetizing, even though they did have a good looking salad bar I might try tomorrow."

"Dinner is ready, Mr. & Mrs. Grey." Gail said formally. Christian stood up and pulled Ana up too. They made their way into the dining room hand in hand.

"This looks amazing Gail." Ana said as Christian helped her with her chair. Gail poured them both some wine and then left to go back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

"Thank you Mrs. Grey. I will be in the kitchen if you need me." She smiled and left.

They ate chicken and yellow rice with asparagus and a salad and finished off their bottle of wine. After carrying their plates into the kitchen, Christian kissed Ana and went to his office to work for an hour or so. "I'll be in the library when you are done." Ana said and left him alone. She found a book to read and was curled up on the overstuffed sofa when Christian came in an hour later.

"How does a bubble bath sound Mrs. Grey?" He asked softly, setting her book on the side table.

"That sounds wonderful!" He helped her up and swept her up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom shutting the door with his foot and through to the master bathroom. He sat her down on the counter while he filled the tub with water and scented bubble bath. He took off his shirt while Ana watched him and then his pants. He stalked over to her and helped her undress and carried her over to the tub and set her in gently then got in behind her. He wrapped his arms around his wife kissing her softly on her naked shoulder.

"This is the life."
