Ana
I arrived in Seattle last night and when Grace heard I was back she insisted Brian, and I come to dinner. I truly love that woman. She was always there for me when my mother was too busy trying to be my best friend and less of a parent. Most teenagers would love that but I guess I'm not most teenagers. I love my mom, but sometimes I wish she would realize being a parent is more important than trying to fit in with the younger crowd as she would say. When I got the invite, I was more than happy to accept. My best friend Kate who I have known my whole life is coming with me. We are going to get dolled up; she has a thing for Elliot so she insists we get beautified. I just laugh at her. She`s been trying to get Elliot`s attention for two years. He acts like he isn't interested in her but I know better and apparently so does Kate. She isn't one to give up so easily.
"So, Steele, are you finally going to confess your feelings for Christian?" "Kate, what are you talking about?"
"Please. Save the innocent act for the adults. You have wanted that man since you were fifteen. You're almost eighteen now so make a move.
"Kate. I can`t I, just ended it with Derek."
"Please, we both know you never wanted that boy. He was your security blanket so you wouldn't fall for another guy since all you ever wanted was Christian."
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I'm not telling him."
"Why not?"
"Because he treats me like I'm his sister."
"He hasn't seen you since you were fifteen and your body has since developed."
I slap her shoulder, "Kate what is with you?"
"Nothing, I'm just trying to get you to admit you want Christian."
Do I want Christian? Of course, I do. I would be stupid not to; he's smart, charming, funny, sexy as hell. I have always wanted him, but I never dared admit it because why would someone like him want me?
"Ana lets go shopping you need a sexy as hell dress and some killer shoes. We're going to get you waxed too."
"Waxed. Why?
"Because you need to be perfect to get your man and besides what Elliot tells me is that Christian likes you too.
"He did not."
"He did. He says whenever your name is brought up he pays a little more attention to the conversation. He is always asking Brian how you are, and he is super proud of you."
"He`s proud of me? Why he`s the one with his own business. He is the multi-billionaire at the age of 21, yet he is proud of me," I snort.
"Of course, he is. Why wouldn't he be; you graduated at the top of your class with high honors, you were valedictorian and most of all you got into Harvard, Yale, M.I.T and Princeton."
"Yet I choose WSU. What does that say about me?"
"WSU is a good school Ana, I know. And you're a double major."
That's true I'm going for English lit and law I'm going to take over Carrick's law firm one day. I'm excited to work with him next year for my internship. He told me I was his chance to pass on the Grey name. I laughed and said I think he forgot I am not an actual Grey. He said nonsense; I see the way my son looks at you when he thinks no one is looking. Realization hits me. I figured he was joking but from remembering that and what Kate said it all makes sense Christian does want me.
"Okay, Kate let's get sexy."
Christian
I just got out of the longest business meeting known to man. These guys think they can steam roll me cause I'm only 21, well they haven't seen anything yet. I was going to do this the easy way, but since they want to play hardball, I tell Ros my COO to do a hostile takeover. I'll show them you don't fuck with Christian Grey.
I sit back in my chair and pinch the bridge of my nose to calm my nerves. I need a release, but the last girl I was sleeping became too attached, so I cut it off. I told her that I wasn't interested in a relationship, only a hook up. She seemed fine with it until she wasn't. Damn women.
I'm pulled from of my thoughts by my phone ringing. It's my mom, and she will just keep calling if I don't answer.
"Hi, mom."
"Christian, honey how are you?"
"I'm good mom. What's wrong, everything okay?"
"Of course sweetie. I was just calling to remind you of dinner tonight."
Of course, I'm coming."
"That's great. I can't wait to see you. Oh, we have two more people coming."
"Who?"
"Brian and his sister Ana."
Brian told me he was coming, but he didn't mention Ana was back there coming for dinner.
"Okay, I will see you at eight mom. I love you."
"I love you too Christian."
Shit, Ana is back. How did I not know she was back? What am I going to say to her? She is all I ever think about. Keeping this shit from her for the past three years has been torture. I want her. God do I want her. How could I not? I was pissed when I found out she was dating that tool Derek, but I had no claim to her and then Kate being Kate somehow made it easier to deal with.
Flashback
"You know, Christian, Ana doesn't like Derek. She just needs a security blanket."
"What the fuck is a security blanket?" I asked.
"It is someone she is going to be with to keep from being with a guy she might like. Because of the one guy she wants she doesn't know he wants her too."
I hate to admit it but that did make me feel better.
End flash back
The sound of my PA Andrea brings me back. She tells me that my brother and Brian are here.
"Show them in; and Andrea, forward all my calls to Ros for the rest of the day. I`m headed home."
"Yes, sir, and Andrea?"
"Yes Mr. Grey?"
"Go home."
"Yes, sir."
"Hey bro how`s it going?"
"What do you want Elliot?"
"Nothing, just stopping by to see if you're going to dinner tonight."
"Of course, I am."
Brian starts laughing.
"Why are you laughing? Why are you guys here?"
Brian starts talking. "Chris, man, we both know you want Ana why don't you just tell her?
"Are you giving me permission to date your sister, Brian?"
"I saying, tell Ana and if Ana wants you, then yes. As long as you treat her right. That girl means everything to my father and me. You hurt her, and we will kill you."
"Got it," I say with the biggest smile on my face.
"Besides, I'm dating Mia, and it's not fair if I tell you no.
We all just start laughing.
"Elliot, you finally going to cave and give into Kate? We all know you want her."
"I do want her, and she knows it. But, right now were cool. See you guys at dinner."
"Alright Chris, catch you later."
"Bri."
"Yeah?"
"Stop calling me Chris!"
I`m going to see the girl of my dreams tonight. I know she's as beautiful as ever. I've been over at Brian`s a few times when she video-chatted him and God she was beautiful. She is the reason I never dated. I have only ever wanted her, and now my dreams are becoming a reality Anastasia Rose Steele will be mine by tonight's end shit what if she doesn't want me well then I will just have to make her want me.
Ana
I decided on a light blue maxi dress. It`s short, but not too short. I paired it with a pair of my favorite Louboutin's and my tear drop gold earrings. I put some gloss on my lips and decide to go without makeup. I've always been told I'm naturally pretty, so why cover it up with makeup?
I call for Kate, "Are you ready yet?"
"I'm coming. It takes time for a girl to look good," She says as she comes out of my closet. She finally looks up at me.
"Wow, Steele. You look Hot!"
I laugh.
"Thanks. You think Christian will like it?
"If he doesn't know he is gay."
We both start laughing so hard were crying until Brian comes in.
"What`s going on in here?"
"Nothing," I say.
"Ana here wanted to make sure Mr. Grey would like what she`s wearing."
"Kate," I yell and she just shrugs her shoulders.
"What? It's true."
"Ana?"
"Yes, Brian. Do you want Christian?"
I blush because I have always wanted him, but he doesn't see me as anything other than your sister.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that."
What does that mean?"
"You will see tonight. Now come on were going to be late."
We walk into the Greys, and I am greeted by Mia who sees me first. She hugs me close and pulls away and looks at me.
"Wow, Ana you're a babe."
I blush as on cue, she giggles and tells me Christian isn`t going to know what to do with himself.
"Thanks, Mia."
She notices Brian and goes up to him, and they start making out.
"Um, hey guys, we're still in the room," Kate says, but they are not listening.
The next person I see is Elliot. He comes over and picks me up and swings me around until we hear a voice say put her down. Elliot smirks and puts me down but not before kissing my cheek. I giggle, but I feel the change in the atmosphere, so I know he's here. He's the only one that makes my body come alive like that. I turn around and see a six foot three, grey-eyed and copper hair wall of muscle staring at me with a look in his eyes I can`t quite make out.
"Hi," I squeak out.
"Hi," He says.
God, I am such a dork. He chuckles at me and makes me feel more at ease. He leans down in whispers in my ear how beautiful I look tonight and pictures don't hold a candle to the real thing. I blush, and he asks me if I want to take a walk outside with him. Who am I to say no?
Christian
I walk into my parents, and I know she's here before I even see her. It's as if I can feel her. Here I am; a CEO, and afraid of admitting my feelings to a girl. Ana is not just any girl, though, she is my dream girl. She is gorgeous and when I say gorgeous, I mean it. She doesn't need an ounce of makeup, and her body is amazing. She clearly takes good care of herself and her hair is this beautiful curly chestnut hair that falls past her ass. It is the most perfect ass too. Her chest. God just thinking about her like that is giving me a massive hard on. Most of all, she is intelligent and funny. She always makes me feel like a kid again in the best way possible, and I love being around her. She is so vibrant and full of life.
I walk into the living room I see my brother holding her in his arms so before I realize what I'm doing, I tell him to put her down, and he kisses her. That bastard is trying to get a rise out of me. Well, I am not going to let Elliot get to me. I want to focus on the beautiful girl in front of me. She turns around, and I'm standing right in front of her.
"Hi," She squeaks out.
"Hi, I say back, and I chuckle to myself. She looked so nervous and flustered. It's cute. I lean down and whisper in her ear and tell her how beautiful she is and how pictures and video don't do her justice. She gasps. I then ask her if she wants to take a walk outside. She is the one who breaks the silence.
"Christian, how are you?"
"I'm good Anastasia. How are you?"
"Good. Congratulations on your company. You are the youngest CEO, and your business is amazing. They say you're the one to beat."
"Thank you," I tell her.
"You're welcome."
"Ana?"
"Yes, Christian?"
"I have to tell you something."
"Okay, so tell me."
"Don't freak out on me when I tell you."
She giggles and says "What could you possibly say that would make me freak out?"
She's looking at me concerned. I take a deep breath, and I tell her how I feel about her. How it's always been her and I have not dated anyone seriously because I have always wanted her. She begins to cry.
"Baby, why are you crying?"
She looks at me with those beautiful blue eyes and says she`s always wanted me and always thought I didn't like her. I laugh at that one because she has no idea how much I want her.
I lean over and wipe the tears away. When she looks at me with those crystal blue eyes, I can`t help but want to kiss her. So, I do, and she kisses me back. Our tongues are dancing the sweetest dance, and I never want this moment to end. I then realize where we are. We reluctantly pull away, and I look up to an audience. They are all just standing there watching us.
I laugh and Ana blushes. Elliot says about time you two made this happen. We all laugh, so Mia and Kate slap him upside his head. I take her hand and tell her to let's eat dinner.
Everyone is having a good time and I cant keep the smile off my face I got my girl, and my family with me everything is perfect
