Chapter 8
"Ana get up you have a call and its such an ungodly hour I hope you tell who ever it is to piss off" Kate shouted startling Ana into consciousness.
That was when Ana realised her phone was buzzing on her dressing table.
"You have ears like a bat Kate" Ana yawned grabbing the phone.
"And you could sleep through the end of the world" Kate complained, "I'm going back to bed" she said and trodded off towards her own room.
Ana looked down at the buzzing on her cellphone, it was coming up number unknown.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Goodmorning Miss Steele, I trust you slept well?" he asked.
Shit Christian Grey was on the phone and Ana's hair looked like a beehive, her mind was equally in a mess. He can't see your hair Ana thought to herself, then after telling herself to pull herself together she replied.
"I did till my rude awakening, what time is it anyway?" she asked and yawned again.
"Wow you're not a morning person are you" he said. "5:30"
"What do you even want at this time of the morning?" Ana asked
"Spend the day with me?" he said to her.
"Christian it's 5:30 am" she sighed, running her fingers through her thick mass of hair.
"Well if you are going to spend the day with me I want to get the whole day" he told her there was a level of excitement in his voice like a kid at Christmas.
"This is mental and where do you think we should go at 5:30 in the morning?" Ana asked smiling to herself.
"Where else is there to go. Lets go get breakfast and we can see from there. I could meet you at your house, but I suppose you're still refusing to tell me where you live." he complained.
"We met once Christian!" Ana reminded him.
"Well if you come out today then we will have met twice" he told her and Ana thought she could hear the smile.
"So come on either pick a neutral place to meet or tell me where you live" he said.
"Or you will do what" Ana teased
"I could always trace the call I'm very rich you know, I managed to get your cellphone number didn't I?" he asked
Oh shit Ana thought she had completely forgot she hadn't given it him. He really was a great stalker.
"You couldn't." Ana told him but she wasn't sure if she believed that herself
"Wanna try it" he said, still clearly trying to challenge her.
"Fine meet me at Eddies in an hour, its just off West Avenue before you get to Fleet street. You better buy me coffee for getting up this early" Ana grumbled and then hung up on him.
Ana looked at the clock shit she was running late, trying to make herself look less like a zombie had taken 45 minutes.
She didn't even have time to contemplate her wardrobe choice and was mentally cursing herself for saying to meet up in an hour rather than a couple of hours later.
She hurried along trying to get their as near the promised time as possible but without running and looking like a beetroot. She had never realised just how far away Eddies was before. She finally turned the corner, a teeny bit out of breath and that was when she saw him.
Wow she took a sharp intake of breath he was gorgeous standing their in tight dark jeans and a button down black shirt he looked smart and casual at the same time. She couldn't understand why a man like that was interested in her.
He dramatically looked at his wrist where the watch he wasn't wearing would be. "You're late Ms Steele" he said as he walked towards her.
He handed her one of the two coffee's he was holding and then placing his hand on the small of her back steered her towards the coffee shop. Ana tried to ignore the feeling of electricity shooting through her as he touched her. He led her towards the back of the shop and indicated at a small well hidden booth.
"You don't like to be watched?" Ana asked.
"Depends on the situation" he winked.
"So do you always get up this early" Ana questioned.
"I don't sleep much" he admitted.
"Why doesn't that surprise me" Ana smiled.
The waitress came over and asked if they were ready to order.
"Yes I will have scrambled eggs on whole wheat bread. Ana will have the scrambled egg, whole wheat toast with sausage and bacon. Oh and 2 more coffees please" Christian said.
Ana scowled at him, "I can order for myself" she told him when the waitress had wondered off.
"But yet you didn't stop me, you clearly like being told what to do" Christian smirked.
That smirk was already doing her head in but for some reason the idea of kissing him as he smirked taking him by surprise floated into her head.
Their breakfast's arrived and Ana seemed to be pushing her bacon around the plate. She wasn't feeling particularly hungry she was too nervous for some reason.
"Eat" he told her.
"I'm not hungry" she complained.
"We have a busy day planned. You need to have energy" he said in what sounded like a very commanding voice.
"Ok then" Ana said as she shovelled another spoonful of eggs in to her mouth.
He smiled at her, pleased she was listening Ana thought. Ana decided to not mention the fact that whether she ate or not was up to her.
"Where are we going then?" Ana asked.
"Well how about Hawaii?" he asked.
"As in the state?" Ana looked amazed.
"No the Hawaiian stand in the mall where they sell the coconuts. Of course the state" Christian smirked.
"And how are you going to take me their in your private jet?" Ana asked.
"No it's a helicopter actually but don't worry I have a license" Christian smiled.
"You aren't joking are you?" Ana looked concerned.
"I wasn't but maybe, too far for a first date" Christian said he seemed to be studying Ana.
"How about the Mall then?" Christian asked finally.
"Do you own it?" Ana smiled.
"Yes but we could go meet my friend, and then maybe see a movie?" he asked with that shockingly cute hopeful look on his face that Ana found simply impossible to say no to.
"Your friends work for you?" Ana asked.
"Well some I suppose, but she's more a business partner. I think you will really like Elena" he smiled.
"Sure lets go shopping then" Ana said. "Can we split the tab?"
Christian laughed.
"No" he told her firmly.
Ana sighed in defeat.
