PS….. ABUSE TRIGGER WARNING*
A virgin? How could this beautiful creature still be a virgin? She must have men throwing themselves at her…. I could feel my blood start to boil over. The thought of another man even touching her drove me to homicide. I am starting to think I need to have a meeting with Flynn. I looked down as the movie came to an end and saw Ana asleep next to me. Her head rested on my chest as I held her up. I could feel myself start to panic as I noticed her on my chest, but as she turned and smiled in her sleep, the panic fell away.
That's strange….
Normally I hated to be touched on my chest. When I was a young child, before my mother found me, my birth mother abused me, treating me like a toy. She would withhold food from me for days, and I was only four… I had burn scar's all through my chest and back from when she would put her cigarette's out on me, or even candles. However, with the candles, she would drip the hot wax onto my skin. If I cried out in pain, she would lock me in the bathroom as she poured bleach everywhere, almost causing me to pass out. Ever since then I hated women, well… Most women.
One night, I ran. She passed out, and I used that moment to run. I ran so far away. I don't know for sure how long as I was running. What I remember was that it was snowing, and I had no clothes on. One couple found me and rushed me to the hospital. That's when I met her… Dr. Grace. She became my saving grace by taking me back to her home. Even though she already had one son, Elliot. That's when I became Christian Grey, and learned that not all women are terrible. Only a few of them are worth my time, though. My mother, my little sister Mia, even a few employees. Other than that, I view women as a quick fuck. That's it. I do not find them useful for anything else. But then there is this girl… This… Anastasia Rose Steele…. She is something else. She is stirring things inside of me that I have never felt before. I don't totally understand it, but just sitting here, with her head on my chest, and my arms wrapped around her tiny frame, I felt like I belonged here. Like she belonged here. I don't want to hurt her, but I am scared that I will. I am fifty shades of fucked up. That's it. I need a drink, and some help.
I picked Ana up, bridal style, careful not to wake her, and bring her to my bedroom. I set her down softly, pulling her dress pants off of her slender legs. I tossed them into a chair, not caring where it ended up. I pulled her blouse over her head and tossed it in the same chair. I walked to my closet and grabbed an old t-shirt of mine. Carefully slipping it over her body.
"Christian…" She muttered, as I pulled my sheets over her body. "Don't go…" She rolled, cuddling the pillow.
"Never, baby." I said, though knowing it was a lie. I kissed her on the top of her head, breathing in the smell of her hair before I left the room, closing the door behind me.
This was so fucked up. I can't have a relationship. It's not that I don't want one, because I do. I mean… She is perfect. She is everything I could have dreamed of… That's why this is so messed up. When she finds out about me, and about my past… She will run out of this apartment faster than I could beg her to stay. This is why I just fuck. It is so much less messy when it is just fucking. Maybe she would… No, who am I kidding? That women in there deserves romance, and a happily ever after….. Something I can't give her.
I looked at the clock and frowned how was it only 12? It felt so much later than that. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and headed to my office. I pulled up my email and groaned.
To: Christian Grey
From: Elena Lincoln
Time: 10:45pm
Subject: Bad Boy….
That was a very naughty thing you did today, Christian. What would your mother say if I told her how you spoke to me this evening? And to treat me the way you did in front of that…hussy!? Now that was just plain rude, and frankly, quite stupid of you. So, do know that the next time you speak to me that way, I will in fact lash out, and not just through an email.
Elena….
I laughed to myself. How she thinks she can talk to me about this… She has really let the bleach that's in her hair got into her head. I set my drink down and quickly typed out my reply.
To: Elena Lincoln
From: Christian Grey
Time: 12:15am
Subject: Be careful to whom you speak….
Elena, if you do indeed go to my mother, then might I remind you that telling her of our relationship would require you to explain how you seduced her 15-year-old son. And once again, do not speak of Miss. Steele. I request your company tomorrow (Today) evening. We need to go over the terms of our relationship. Taylor will be by to collect you at 9:00pm.
Christian Grey; CEO
I finished off my drink and sighed to myself. I didn't want to see her…If I was totally honest with myself, I was getting so sick and tired of her. After everything that happened today, I just need to cut her out….
Flash back….
"Hello Christian" I knew that voice anywhere. Funny how each time I I didn't want to hear it, it would somehow just pop up. I gripped Ana's hand harder as we turned around to face her. My whole mood had now changed. I was happy with Ana. I was happy to spend my evening with her. Then this bitch had to come in to ruin any chance of happiness I would have. Funny how she always seems to take any chance at my happiness and tosses it out the window.
"Elena" I snipped. I was angry, no... I was beyond angry, I was livid. How dare she come up to speak to me. We have gone over this. She is to not talk to me outside of my home or our shared work. We are really going to need to talk about this.
"Darling, I thought you said you were busy tonight." I watched her eye Ana with a glare on her face. How dare she look at Ana this way, she has done nothing…except be seen with me…
"No, Elena, I said I was too busy for you. However, as you can see, I have plans with Miss. Steele tonight, now if you will excuse us…" I grabbed her hand even tighter and went to turn us away when Elena reached out and pulled my hand away from the warmth that was Ana's hand, and into the coldness that was Elena's. I was shocked. She touched me. She actually had the nerve to touch me.
"Christian, Sweetheart, Don't you think you would have more fun with someone who doesn't look like…. a virgin?" She snickered and smirked at Ana. How dare she call Ana a virgin. Of course that was a lie. She is beautiful! I would be lucky to get even five minutes of her time, of course she has had sex before.
"Mrs. Lincoln, need I remind you who you are speaking to? I would advise you to think before you keep your mouth shut and never speak of Miss. Steele again." I went to turn back to Ana, when I felt a hand fly to my chest. Suddenly I felt Ana be rushed away from me, and a car driving off. My hand was gripping Elena's wrist tightly.
"Christian… You're hurting me…." She said as she tried to pull her hand away from me. Only I couldn't let go. My body went into a stone mode. I couldn't move, I couldn't think. I was a rock.
"Sir!" Taylor pried Elena's hand from my own as he pushed me into the car….
End of Flashback…..
"Christian?" A tired voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned around to see a vison before me. Her hair was messy and her makeup smeared. She stood in my shirt that fell to her mid-thigh. She rubbed her eyes. "I had a nightmare…" She has them too? "You weren't there…" I moved from my chair to her, taking her small body into my arms.
"I'm sorry, baby. I won't go anywhere…" I whispered in her ear. I walked her back to my bed room where she hurried back into the warmth of the sheets. I rid myself of my clothes and put my pajamas on. This was different. I never slept with a woman in my bed before. I got into bed next to her. Her body quickly found mine, and we were suddenly interlocked. Her head and hand rested on my chest. Her hand, right above my own heart. I was shocked once again. My body didn't go into shock. I wasn't getting violent. What was it about this girl….
What is that smell….I woke up to the sweet smell of bacon. I looked over at my clock 10:00am. "What the hell?" I never slept in. I looked to my right, only to find Ana's spot empty. I stood up, hearing music come from my kitchen, I smirked a little as I entered the kitchen. She was a beautiful sight. She danced around my kitchen, singing along to the song that played. She looked perfect in my shirt.
"Oh!" She stopped and blushed once she turned around and saw me standing there.
"Oh no, please, do not stop on my account." I smirked. Personally I was enjoying the show.
"Well, breakfast is ready anyway." She laughed as she placed a plate in front of me. My god… Who is this woman! She set before me a breakfast made for a king. I smiled as I sat down at the bar.
"Thank you, Ana." She sat down next to me with a smile. "Listen… Can we talk about something?" Are we really going to do this now….
"What's up?" She took a bite of her buttered toast.
"I like you Ana. I like you like I have never liked anyone before. I am honestly scared… But… It's because of my… feelings, that I am going to have Taylor drive you home…" I said in one breath.
"Y-you don't want me?" I could see her lips start to tremble. The look in her eyes was enough to break my heart.
"No… Trust me, I do want you. I really really want you. But…you deserve better than a fuck up like me." I looked down at the meal she made me. I felt her hand reach for my own.
"Christian. You can't be a fuck up… If you were I am almost positive that you would have sent me home last night… Or taken advantage of me in some way. I want to be here, Christian. I want to be here with… You." I saw her smile a little. My heart filled with a joy I had never felt before.
"I want to do this right, Ana. If you are willing to… try and have a relationship, then I want it to be done right. No rushing into things, no hiding things… Well… There are things about my past. Ugly things. I plan on telling them all to you, but it will take some time. Trust me on that." I took her hand in mine. A smile even played on my own lips.
"I understand that… I have some ugly things too…" She looked down. Her eyes glossed over as if she was scared of something.
"Ana?" I pulled her head up and she looked at me. I saw into her soul for that second. It was scared, but oh so beautiful.
"Don't hurt me… If you can't do this, at any point, just tell me. But please… Do not hurt me.." I felt my own heart break at the breaking of her voice.
"Baby, no. I will never intentionally try and hurt you. I can't make any promises that I won't fuck up. I know that at some point I will, and it will be messy. But please know that I will never hurt you." I took her small body in mine. I could already feel my possessive hold over, and my desire to kill the fucker that hurt my Ana in the first place.
My Ana…. The thought of it just sends shivers through my whole body. She was mine. She is mine. She wants to be mine. I lifted her head and kissed her cheek.
"Tomorrow, you and me will go out on a date. I have some work that requires my attention for the day, and as much as I wish I could cancel it all, I cannot. Go get dressed. Taylor will still need to take you home. But, I will be there to pick you up tomorrow morning." I smiled. She smiled too. She looked happy. Very happy. For the first time in many years, I felt happy too.
"So, Christian. Why do you have a smile on your face?" I heard my therapist, Dr. Flynn call out. I was brought out of my thoughts of Ana.
"Wh-what?" I laughed a little and rubbed my legs.
"This is new… You are acting all giddy. We have been sitting here for fifteen minutes now, and you can't take that smile off of your face. What are you hiding, Mr. Grey?" He laughed.
"Her name is Ana." I said softly. Just saying her name made me smile again.
"A girl? Please, tell me more about her." He pulled his glasses down.
"Well, she is perfect. Like, actually perfect. There is nothing wrong with her. She is 5''6 with legs that go on for miles… she has long brown hair, and the biggest blue eye's I have ever seen. She looks at me, and when she does, I can feel her almost crawl into my heart, as if she is setting up camp inside of me. She works at SIP, well, will soon be working there. She is so smart, and just…god….I don't know.." I looked at Flynn who had an amused look on his face. "What?"
"Nothing. You just sound like an excited teenager, that's all." He laughed. "Although, something did strike me as odd. You said she will be working at SIP? Does she know that you own the company?" Great… Here we go.
"Well…no…" I looked down. "But, I plan on telling her tomorrow." I said with a smile.
"Why not tonight?"
"Elena is coming by tonight. She and I have some business to take care of, and it needs to be done now. I will not have her causing problems with Ana."
"Do you plan on telling Ana about Elena?"
"Well- No. At least not right now. I don't want her to be grossed out by me." I looked down.
"Christian, if she will be grossed out by anyone, it will be Elena. Not you. Just remember, Elena is not someone you want to cross. Please know that I am looking out for you when I say that. So… Be careful."
"I will."
I finished my drink as Taylor entered my office.
"Sir, Mrs. Lincoln in here." I groaned a little. I had to do this. I had to end things, and end her.
"Send her in." I sighed and sat back in my office chair. Elena waltzed in, almost as if she owned the place.
"Darling…" She held her hand out, I just looked at it then back up at her. Her smile fell quickly. "Christian, aren't you going to greet me?" She snapped. I just smirked.
"Elena, sit down. We have things to discuss." I pulled out my stack of papers. "I am pulling my company from backing Escalva." Her face looked shocked. "And you will no longer be allowed into GEH, or my apartment any more after today."
"What- Don't be daft. Is this about this, Amy girl?" She smirked.
"Her name is Ana, and no. This is something that has needed to be done for a long time, and I just haven't had the balls, or push to do it. But, now… It seems as though I have reason to let you go. So, go. I never want to see you again, Elena." I was expecting her to yell, or throw something. Instead she did the opposite. She stood up with a grin. She walked to the door, turning around before she left.
"This won't be the last you see of me, Darling. I promise you that." She waltzed back out and once I heard the elevator doors close, and Taylor giving me the nod that she was gone, I let out a huge sigh.
I really wish that Ana was here…..
*And that was that! It took me a few days to write this, but here you go! I hope you all liked it! Next chapter will be their first date, her first day at work, and we get to meet my second favorite male Grey. (What POV would you all like to see with the date?) So, what I was going to ask. Should I make these few things for you all? A Pinterest, so that you can see their clothes and such. My other thought is making a facebook account so that you all can see my progress and answer my questions, or ask me any questions. Please let me know that you think. Review, Review, Review! Tata Xoxo…*
