Disclaimer: I don't own any characters. Also to the person that thought it was sick bringing Elena in to the story. I don't like her or agree with what she did to Christian, at the same time he wouldn't be fifty without her. And at this point of the story such as within the first book Christian saw her as his friend no matter how misguided he was.

Chapter 9

Ana thought that taking a limo to the mall was over kill, Christian seemed to think it was a necessity.

She showed up to the front stairs of the mall feeling as if she was about to walk down a red carpet. Luckily she wasn't.

Christian got out of the limo and walked around to open her door and help her out.

Very old fashioned in a cute way Ana thought.

He took her by the arm and they walked together in to the mall.

"It's just over here" he told her.

Ana saw it.

It was like walking into barbie's dream house as they approached the salon. Like someone had vomited pink and glitter everywhere.

Definitely not Ana's style.

Christian took her hand and held it tightly as they walked into the store and that was when they saw her.

"Christian" she called dramatically across the salon. "How are you doing darling? You've been so quiet this week?" she told him as she walked as quickly as she could in her ridiculously high heels over to him. Ana was unsure how she could even stand, let alone walk around all day working.

She pulled Christian into a tight hug that lasted just long enough to make Ana uncomfortable.

The woman was twice his age but there was no question she was beautiful the way her blonde curls bounced as she walked, and with her perfect slim figure and huge most likely fake breasts.

Anna knew instantly she wasn't going to like this one.

Christian coughed, "Elena there is someone I wanted you to meet" he said gesturing to where Ana stood.

Elena looked at Ana and smiled. "Come here and let me inspect you love" Elena said grabbing her arm and pulling her over to a salon chair.

She played with Ana's hair while Ana looked around unsurely in the mirror to see what was going on.

"She's cute" Elena decided, "Looks just like that other one you brought back here Kirsty was it?" Elena asked.

"Lisa" Christian corrected, "This is Anastasia"

"How quaint" Elena announced, Ana wasn't sure what she meant by that.

"So what brings you and your friend here" she extended on the word friend a little too much for Ana's liking.

"We are just off to see a movie together" Ana told her.

Ana was sure she saw Elena's face drop.

"Like a date?" Elena asked.

"Yes" Christian supplied.

"Elena's face completely dropped at that. She regained her composer in an instant and spun around to face Ana.

"You lucky girl, Christian Grey doesn't date" she said, as if the word date was a curse word.

Ana sensed the awkwardness spread across the room, "Well we better go Christian the movie is about to start. It was very nice to meet you Elena" she said politely thinking it had been anything but nice.

"You to dear" Elena called as she left.

Ana walked over to grab Christian's arm. He physically flinched. Ana dropped her hands to her sides instantly and walked out.
