Chapter Three: I Remember That Night
APOV
Past/Freshman Year Semester Two
"Please tell me you're going to the party tonight?" Kate asks right when she walks into our dorm room. I sigh loudly because I had just started resting after a long week of classes.
"I wasn't really thinking about it." I say while stretching in my bed.
"But we have to celebrate." I stop mid-stretch completely confused about Kate's statement.
"What are you talking about Kavanagh? Celebrate what?"
"Our first week of second semester classes being finished of course!" I can't help but roll my eyes at the absurdness within that statement. Kate will find any excuse to party, she must of gave the reason "because it's (day of the week)" a million times.
"Come on Steele, maybe you'll see Christian there." I can already feel my heart racing at just his name, and Kate knows this.
Christian and I immediately exchanged numbers at that first party, and ever since then, we have been talking non-stop. Even though he is a business major, and I am an English major, it wasn't that hard working around each other's schedules to hang out. It also wasn't that hard because Christian and I ended up being in the same introductory English course last semester.
First Day of Classes Last Semester
I had already been through 3 classes today, and my energy was quickly running out. Although I stopped myself from being too tired because it had finally come to the time where I got to come to my favorite course, Introduction to English. This course was pretty much one that was going over the basics, but I was still extremely excited to get back into the books, and writing.
Since this was an introductory course, which meant that it was pretty much an all freshman course, the classroom was a huge lecture hall. I decided on sitting in the middle, not wanting to seem like that teacher's pet who sits in the front, and knowing that I could never sit in the way back.
I had just finished placing my "note-taking set up" in front of me, which consisted of a notebook, couple of pencils, and extra erasers, when I heard someone clearing their throat next to me. I thought this was a sign to move out of the way, but when I looked up I was in complete shock to see Christian Grey smiling down at me.
"Funny running into you here." He says as he sits in the seat next to mine.
I find myself blushing, and soon realize that this is now an unfortunate routine whenever I see Christian. I continue to stare at him as he places his black laptop in front of him, and as I compare my set up to his I begin feeling insecure about the immense amount of things in front of me. Going for the teacher's pet look without even trying Ana?
"I hope no one is sitting here." Christian says, and I begin wondering why. It's because you're staying at him like a freak Steele!
"Oh no you're fine!" I respond while smiling, hoping that I don't look like a complete idiot. Class goes by quickly since it is my favorite course. The professor is absolutely amazing, and after just going through the syllabus, I know it's going to be a great semester. During class I found myself looking at Christian every so often, and I hope that he didn't notice.
"So why are you in an English course Mr. business major?" I ask as we both walk out of the lecture hall.
"It's unfortunately one of our requirements." He says with a smirk.
"Hey! Not the smartest thing to say to an English major." I respond while nudging his shoulder with mine.
"Yeah you're probably right." He responds while nudging me back.
"So where are you headed next?" Christian asks while continuing to walk next to me.
"Well I'm done for the day, so probably dinner." I respond nonchalantly.
"Oh okay, is Kate coming?" I smile inwardly knowing exactly where this conversation is heading. Alright Steele, time to grow some balls.
"No, but if you're done you can come with?" Christian agrees, and we begin heading our way to our building's dining hall. We both go our separate ways when selecting a dinner, but come back together at a table that Christian finds.
"So where is the Anastasia Steele from?" Christian asks while we're both eating our dinner.
"How did you know my full name?" I say curiously.
"Well I was just guessing that Ana was short for something, and every time you're around Kate she calls you Steele, so it was pretty obvious on what your last name is." Christian says with a smile, and I can't help but smile in return.
"Well I live with my dad in Seattle, Wa-"
"You have got to be kidding me."
"What?" I ask not knowing what I did wrong.
"I'm from Seattle, Washington." Wait what?
"Wait what?" My mouth almost completely falls open.
"Yeah … wow, what a small world." He says with a smile.
"Yeah." I whisper while smiling back at him.
Present Day
"Steele!" Kate yells which pulls me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I groan, knowing that I am going to end up at a party tonight.
"Party. Now. Put on the dress." I playfully roll my eyes and grab the dress Kate has thrown onto my bed. I do have to say I am pretty excited to wear this dress.
Kate picked it out for me a couple years ago, and it is still my favorite dress to this day. It is a tight fit black dress, with a deep V-neck, and a couple of sheer cut outs. I don't wear it often, but when I do I feel amazing. Kate and I end up getting ready fairly quickly and before I know it we are already at the party.
This time we ended up getting the invite to a party being hosted by the football team at our school, and it is the biggest party I have seen this whole year. There has to be at least 200 people here! Kate and I make sure to hold onto each other as we make it inside the house, because we both know that if either of us let go we are done for. We finally get situated and eventually have a drink in our hands. As Kate is talking to me about classes I find myself recognizing a person on the other side of the room.
"Kate!" I whisper/scream, which immediately causes her to stop mid-sentence.
"What?" She says concerned.
"Don't turn around but guess who is here?" I say almost jumping up and down from excitement.
"Who?" Kate responds as she tries to turn around to see, but I grab her arms so she is not able to.
"Elliot! And didn't I say not to turn around?" Kate begins to blush just at his name, and I am almost in shock because trust me when I tell you that Katherine Kavanagh does not blush.
I feel my heart begin to race, because I know that if Elliot is here, Christian has to be too. Elliot happens to be the other extremely hot Grey brother. I met him last semester when Christian and I were working on our English papers together, and I knew that he was perfect for Kate.
Kate eventually got to meet him too at another party, and they ended up exchanging numbers. They have been very flirty with one another, but I have yet to hear if anything else has happened. I begin to smile when I notice that Elliot has noticed both Kate and I, and has decided to come over.
"Spill Steele! What's happening?"
"Don't freak out, but he's coming over here."
"What!" Kate screams.
"Didn't I say not to freak out?" I respond. Before Kate can say anything else Elliot is here.
"Hey, I didn't think you guys would be here?" Elliot says with a megawatt smile. By the look of Kate's face, you would think that she just came.
"Yeah we had some free time, so we thought why not." I responded since Kate was clearly unable to.
"Nice." Elliot said, and then began to look at Kate in hopes that she would say something. Elliot Grey looks absolutely nothing like Christian. For one, he has short blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, while Christian has much darker locks and grey eyes.
Although their outward appearances are different, I could tell from the few times that I hung out with them, that they are very similar. I try to elbow Kate to get her to speak, and sigh in relief when she finally realizes how crazy she looks.
"Do you want to dance? I absolutely love this song." Kate says with a smile. I'm about to say something because I know that we both have no idea what this song is, but I quickly realize what she's doing. Elliot agrees and begins following her to where the music is playing, but suddenly he stops and turns around to look at me.
"Christian should be in the kitchen." I look at him in question wondering how he could possibly know that I want to see Christian, but all he does is smirk and goes back to following Kate. Great so everyone who could possible know, knows I have a thing for Christian. I make my way to the kitchen, and am happy to see Christian. As I make my way towards him I notice that he is talking to some guys who I am guessing are on the football team.
"Hey stranger." I whisper behind him, and once he has turned around and noticed that it is me he is all smiles.
"Tink!" Just by the way he is acting I can tell he is a little buzzed. Ever since that first party Christian has been calling me twinkle toes, and apparently that nickname is too long so he has shortened it to Tink, which makes absolutely no sense, but that's Christian Grey logic for you.
"What are you doing here?" He says excitedly.
"Can't a girl party?" I respond.
"How have you been? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." Christian says while refilling my drink.
"Good getting excited for the year to end."
"The semester just started!"
"And so has my countdown!" I respond slightly mocking him.
"Come on it can't be that bad."
"You're right it could be worse without you." I don't even notice what I said until it is already out there. What is in this drink?!
Those two drinks that I had ended up becoming close to 10 drinks, and Christian and I are equally drunk. We end up outside somehow, and I am completely oblivious to where both Kate and Elliot could possibly be.
"You did not!" I scream while laughing incredibly hard at Christian's confession.
"I did! I'm think that I'm going to walk into Elliot's room with him on his computer, but next thing I know he's but naked behind some girl!" I grab my stomach in blissful pain from laughing so hard. This probably wouldn't be as funny if we weren't drunk, but right now it is absolutely hilarious.
I grab onto Christian's hand for support, and before I know it, his lips are crashed onto mine. My hands instantly find their way into his hair, and begin tugging at his locks. As they tug, Christian lets out a moan, and I return with one once he grips my waist closer to his. Christian's lips travel down to my neck, and I can't help but moan even louder. My hands make their way from his hair down to his crotch, and I begin rubbing my hands up and down his now very prominent erection. My actions cause Christian to pull away from my neck, and we are now eye to eye.
"Fuck Ana. Do you want to get out of here?" He whispers. I can't find my voice, so I just nod. I text Kate quickly letting her know where I am, and I follow Christian back to our dorm. What are you getting yourself into Ana?
AN: Thanks for your amazing reviews. Until next time!
