Chapter 4: The Interview

Wow what was that all about. I hear Kate moving around in the kitchen. Hope she's cooking breakfast because I am starved and what time did she get in? I think as I brush my teeth. I walk out of my room to find a half-naked Elliot and Kate in the kitchen feeling each other up.

"Good morning Ana Banana" kissing me on the cheek with a big smile.

"Good morning Kate, Elliot" I say in a hush tone.

"Did moneybags Grey disappoint you", Kate asked intrusively.

"No Kate, just a lot on my mind right now"

Christian's on my mind can't tell her that she'll never let me live it down. She's told me way to many times to count on how I should get laid, it'll take the tension away and make me feel free. Doesn't sex complicate things? Recalling the dream, if sex with Christian is anything like that… Mmmmm.

Mmmmm, I moan

"What was that Ana", Elliot asks.

A bit embarrassed I blushed. Did I just moan out loud? Just the thought of Christian arouses me. I'm certain he feels the same way especially after that kiss, closing my eye and trailing my finger over my lips as if I can feel his lips on mines.

"Anastasia, I'm making pancakes would you like some", Kate ask stirring the batter.

"No thanks Kate, I have vanilla Greek yogurt, granola with a drizzle of honey and some OJ please", giggling.

Any fool would know Kate couldn't cook. She usually has a protein shake for breakfast or I cook. She must be trying to impress Elliot. Hope she followed my recipe. Or else she doomed as well as his stomach if he can muster her rubber pancakes and extra crispy bacon down. She hands me my breakfast just before the pancakes began to burn, poor Elliot I shake my head. He does not know what he's in for.

Finishing off my breakfast. Kate approaches me asking had I talk to Christian and how did last night go.

"What happened after you guys left", Kate says with glee. I feel my entire body flush.

Before I can speak. " You like him, don't you? I've never saw you act this way over a guy" with curiosity written all over her face.

"I'm guilty Kate, he kissed me, falling back on the couch as I once again blush as I recall the kiss from an angel.

"WHAT?" A kiss how was it, did you see fireworks?

I laughed Kate can be a bit intrusive at times with the questioning.

" It's was something I never felt before as if our souls were entwined and we were one for that moment. It was just pure ecstasy from the scent of his cologne down to that taste of the gin and tonic on his tongue."

"Wow, Steele sound like you're in love"

"What time did you and Elliot get in?" not recalling hearing the door open or close, but who am I kidding I was caught up in my wet dream.

" Elliot and I went for burger at Burgerviille and then we got in around 3, I came in to check on you but you were sleep. I half expected you to go home with Christian and get your boots knock she laughed loudly"

" Well I don't just jump in the bed with anybody" I whisper with my head in my hands staring out the window.

" Ana what's on your mind? You're normally all for listening to my many male endeavors, so spill it and you've never jumped in the bed with anybody, she says while playfully poking me in my side.

" When I got in, I took a bath and went to bed and had, the weirdest dream it was like I don't know" looking down at my hands.

"You had a wet dream Ana, aww this is getting serious before it even starts, I have been waiting on this moment for three years, someone has come and swept my Ana Banana off her feet"

" Kate, I have to get dress for my interview at SIP, you know with Wanda I have to get going soon or I'll be late."

Walking off I go in my room and raid my closet. This should do a navy-blue pencil skirt and light blue blouse and nude pumps. I brush my hair in ponytail and apply a little lip-gloss. Let me get out of here, I should be there at 2 and it takes me 3 hours to get there and its already half past 11.

" Kate, I'm gone, see you when I get back" walking out the door.

BING!

My phone alerts me with a text.

Christian: Good morning beautiful, how are you?

Me: Good morning Christian, great headed to this interview, wish me luck.

Christian: Good luck Ms. Steele, not that you need any, I'll take it that you are driving and I don't want to be a distraction. Ttyl

Me: Thank you Mr. Grey, ttyl ;)

After driving over a hundred mile to Seattle for the interview, I finally arrive in from of SIP. Twenty minute early the receptionist send me in to be interviewed by Jack Hyde; the senior editor of SIP. The interview went well, I was offered the job as Jack assistant. Though the salary is what I expected I am more that grateful. Walking out of the interview I text Christian.

" I GOT THE JOB!" Looking down at my phone I bump in to a hard body and when I look up its Christian with a huge smile plastered across his face.

"Anastasia, I didn't suspect that this would be where your interview was" with a shock yet happy expression on his face.

"Yep SIP, what do I owe the pleasure of bumping into you here?

"Business meeting with the CEO Roach"

" I have to drive back to Portland, see you Tuesday"

I can't tell her I own the place that may send her running and I still haven't told her I'm giving a speech at her graduation. She will be in for a surprise.

"Let me walk you to your car"

I nod in agreement, wow he smell so good. I could look at him all day. I thought he was hot at the bar; he's even hotter in a suit and tie. We reach my car Wanda; she's a classic white 1966 Volkswagen Beetle.

"Well here I am, didn't know I collected classic car, did you?"

"Anastasia this is a death trap, well I've got to get to my meeting see you Tuesday, Oh and Ana you look lovely, see you soon"

"See you"

I get in my car and text Carla my mom to see if she's still coming to my graduation. She gives me some excuse about Bob; her fourth husband broke his wrist while fishing. Didn't really expect her to care, at least I'll have Ray there; my dad.
