Chapter 19

*C POV*

it's been 5 fucking days since I last saw Ana. I don't know why I had to ruin what we have. Fuck.

"Mr. Grey" Andrea's voice breaks me from my thoughts.

"what!?" I bark

"Sir, Miss Steele is here requesting to meet with you" what? Ana is here?

"Send her in Andrea" I stand up and wait for Ana to come in.

"Hi" Ana says shyly.

"Ana I need to apologize for wh-" I'm cut off by a pair of soft lips against mine, silencing me. I'm shocked by Ana but I recover immediately and kiss her back.

"Sorry" Ana said breaking the kiss and I'm so confused as to what she's sorry for.

"What... what for?" I ask frowning at her.

"For everything. For walking out on you like I did the last time we saw each other" Ana bows her head fidgeting.

"Hey, I get it. I totally understand your reaction" I don't know why but I start to feel nervous all of a sudden.

"It's just that, I'm shocked for what I feel right now. I'm scared" she whispers the last part but I still hear it.

"Scared of what Ana?" I ask but at the same time I'm scared too.

"To get hurt again because … I wont be able to recover if something like that happened again. I'm scared to have a relationship again" what does that mean? Is she saying she wants to try? I guess there's only one way to know…

"Ana what are you saying?" I ask.

"I like you Christian. And I want try and be with you" am I hearing her right? I can't help but smile widely at her.

"And, I- I want to be with you. For a very long time. And I promise you won't regret it, to be honest I'm scared to but together well figure it out, okay?" I say happily. Yes! Finally she's mine.

"Okay " Ana says blushing.

"You don't know how happy I am Ana. Thank you" I can't contain myself any longer and I grab her by the arm and pull her flush against my chest, inhaling her intoxicating scents. I can't believe this is happening.

"So, Anastasia Steele. Would you please be my girlfriend?" fuck this is it, this is real.

"Yes Mr. Grey, I would really like to be your girlfriend" I kiss and our gentle kiss turns to a more passionate, hotter kiss. We moan into each other's mouth. We break apart when my intercom buzzes and Andrea's voice booms.

"Mr. Grey your next meeting is here" fuck, I totally forgot about that.

"Fuck. Okay, I'll be there in a minute" I say turning back to look at Ana.

"I'm sorry I need to get to that meeting" I say apologetically.

"It's ok" Ana says kissing me again as she grabs her purse.

"Would you like have dinner with me tonight?" I ask hopefully.

"I would really love that. I'll see you later" I escort her to the elevator and we share another chaste kiss. She gets in and waves goodbye until I no longer see her.

I sigh, content. I can't help the beaming smile on my face

'Brian, I know you can hear me. And I want you to know I love her and I will cherish her for the rest of my life'
