Chapter 9
A/N Edited by the lovely Hope
CPOV
I am a grown fucking man ignoring his parents calls and pretending I am out-of-town so a woman I am attracted to will let her guard down so I can get close to her. I am completely losing my shit I am turning into a pussy. Elliot keeps on saying I should just give her the D and get her out of my system but I can't be like that with Ana she deserves so much better than me and my vile nature. Don't get me wrong there's nothing I would love than to bend her over and fuck her until she screams but a part of me wants to worship her also. I am confused and conflicted and Carrick's antics at dinner last night did not help.
I am actually considering talking to Ana and laying my cards on the table and telling her everything and then we would have no secrets there would be nothing for her to find out in the future. I want to ask her on a date and romance her oh fuck I am turning into a pussy. Would it be so wrong of me to want to do those things with Ana and treat her like a queen why can't a man openly love a woman and worship her without being labelled for it. Wait a second did I just use the L word am in do I feel in oh fuck I am now more confused than ever.
I put in a call to my flower guy so I can get Ana flowers to apologize for last night's shitty dinner, I have them delivered to her in work as I know she is not at home. It's been an hour and I have heard nothing from her and I know my flowers where delivered. My phone bings and I nearly break my wrist getting it as I moved to quick.
EL: Nice flowers bro you fucking pussy.
CHRISTIAN: Go fuck yourself and mind your own business EL. Is Ana ok as I have not heard from her .
EL: Don't worry about our Ana I am taking very good care of her .
CHRISTIAN: Mine not ours Mine don't fucking forget EL.
EL: High time you admit that she's yours only took me to annoy you to get it out of you. Ana is quiet today and her brain is spinning.
There's nothing I want more than to go to Ana and just get her to stop over thinking everything. My Ana thoughts are disturbed by Andrea telling me that my dad is here to see me well this ought to be good.
"Christian why have you been ignoring my calls all day?," So it's not obvious Carrick no.
"You know why but you came here anyway"
"Son I deserve respect so start giving it to me"
"No Carrick you don't you have gone too far this time you really have"
"All this shit over some stupid fucking piece off ass son you are going soft"
"Don't fucking speak about Ana is that way. She is not just some random girl. I want her in my life but you have put a major block on that now with your big mouth"
"I have not done anything at all son you need to realize that. If she is saying no to you and you want her then I can make it happen for you. Just say the word son. I am not that much of a bad guy where I want to see you unhappy. If Ana is what you want, then Ana is what you will have.
"Carrick I don't want your interference so keep out of my business and while you're there get out of my office"
I can't believe my dad sometimes I really can't how dare he talk about Ana in such a vile way and then insinuate that he will make me and her happen. I think he is actually delusional as I can't make Ana want me well I could but that's not the man I want to be around her. That's right ladies and gentlemen Anastasia Steele has me whipped and practically purring like a kitten.
My thoughts are shattered by Taylor bursting into my office.
"Sorry for the intrusion Chris but there is something you need to see," what the fuck now can't I just have a stress free day. He hands me an envelope and I open the contents onto my desk.
"When where these taken T."
"About an hour ago what do you want me to do."
"I want him found and brought to me. I want every man we got on this. T I want more protection for Ana so that's a high priority."
Taylor leaves my office and I am so filed with rage fucking Hyde thinks he can come to my city to claim my girl he has no idea what is in store for him. Nobody fucks with Christian Grey and if anyone thinks they can fuck with my girl well that is worse than coming after me the punishment is severely worse.
I send EL a text to tell him about Hyde so he can be on high alert especially as he is around Ana the most. I know he is like the class clown but I will never have to question his loyalty he will protect Ana with his life. I would have never chosen this life for Ana but there's nothing I can do about that now as I need to be bad to protect her. I trust Taylor with my life but I won't rest until that fucker Hyde is tied up and beaten in the basement of Escala.
I decide to call it a day at GEH as I am not getting any work done as my mind can't focus and I don't want Ana seeing me as she thinks am out-of-town. I hope her thinking am not around works in my favor as she will be more relaxed. I will make sure I buy tickets for the dance show Mia's group are having at the end of the week. I usually sit in the back and don't stay long but my girl will be on stage so I will be in the front row watching her very closely.

I still can't get last night out of my mind I am in shock that a parent could behave in such a way. Elliot has tried all day to smooth things over and he is practically singing Christians praises. I am really attracted to Christian and he makes me feel things I don't even know how to explain. Do I want him? Yes, I want to climb that man like a tree but he can never be honest with me. I just want to see the real Christian as I don't know who the real Christian is.
He is plaguing my mind and then when I get flowers from him it makes my brain go into overdrive. I wrestle with the whole do I text him or don't I but I decide not to as I know he is out of town so I don't want to bother him. I am going to put all my focus into work and the dance as we have a short time to be ready. I am loving the song my solo part makes me laugh every time I hear the lyrics and I am sure Christian will love them too.
Elliot lets me leave early so I call Mia and suggest we go out for dinner nothing fancy just a diner or something. I really don't want to cook tonight and I know Mia is worrying over her dad's behaviour last night. Being out with Mia is so much and she even sends a selfie of us to Christian I am sure he will be less than impressed being bothered by his sister. Mia heads off home and Sawyer drives me to Escala. I am going to get changed and go to the gym to work on the routine and as Christian ain't around I can just put my headphones in and relax.
The heat tonight in the gym is unbearable I have text Sawyer to see if he can get it looked at but I need to continue to practice if I am going to nail the routine. I have stripped down to my panties and bra as I am way too hot I figure it's a private gym so no one will be seeing me. I higher up the volume so the music is so loud I can't hear myself think but it's what I need to switch off and concentrate on my moves.
All of a sudden the lights go out and before I have a chance to remove my headphone so I can hear anything I am grabbed from behind and pushed up against the wall. Oh fuck I am going to be killed is all I can think.
Carrick
I am so pissed at Christian's behaviour he is acting like a child. To make matters worse I am in the dog house with my wife and my other two children are ignoring me as well. Since that girl came into our lives there has been a shift in my family it's like they are all pretending to be something they are not and expect me to play along. I need Christian to get his head out of his ass or his dick out of her pussy with ever one helps right now.
I knew all about his 15 whores and I was fine with that as that's all they were to him but I see this one is getting her claws into him and will make him weak. Don't get me wrong I want my children to find partners and have babies but I want their partners to be worthy of the family name. The only thing that has impressed with about Anastasia is that ass of hers so round and tight but that does not make her Grey material.
I get home and I get a frosty reception from my wife great this shit is continuing.
"Grace you can't continue to behave like this. I did what was best for the family why all of a sudden should that shock anyone."
"It's the way you did it Carrick that poor girl didn't stand a chance and I really like her your son is besotted with her. I think you need to get your shit together Grey as your son is in love can't you see that."
"Ha Gracie, Gracie, Gracie. Christian is not in love with that piece off ass she is just that a piece of ass. Once he dips his wick then that's it infatuation over."
"Your wrong Carry I can see it and I will bet anything that Ana becomes his wife and the mother of his children."
"Please you have lost it Grace she is not interested in him otherwise she would have his dick in her mouth and every else morning noon and night but no she doesn't what does that tell you dear."
"It tells me that she is not like all those other women who have tried to get close to him. I am done with this conversation Carry just get your shit together and fix this before I do it for you."
Yes, my wife is in charge when it comes to our children I nearly say yes ma'am to her as she might as well be a drill sergeant. Fine if my son wants this girl as a wife then I will make it happen can't say I am not a team player here.
"Hi Ray its Carrick we need to meet"
"Sure Carrick when and where and I will be there. Annie is ok being she."
"She is never better. I want to talk about little Annie and what I want from her."
