After being dropped off at home I can finally obsess over what happened the night before. What was I going to do now that I opened this can of worms? It would do me well to stay away from Christian, but it's something about him that calls to me. Walking in Kate is floating around the room singing and eating. I guess she had a great night, I try to hurry pass and get to my room before she can stop me.

"Oh Ana you can't sneak in hear you have to tell me everything. I thought you were fine in the bar, then Jose came back in and said you were sick and he said he had to leave. The Elliot came in and introduced himself and told me you were in good hands. I told him you would have a panic attack once you realize who was with you but he told me you had it under control. He was such a gentleman Ana, I like him he asked me out tonight is that ok?"

"You know its fine, I haven't seen you this starry eyed and bubbly personality in a long time. What exactly happened and are you ok? But you just met him last night I just don't want to see you hurt."

"I understand Ana and I love you for that, but trust me it's not love at first sight but it's definitely something. Speaking of love at first sight. What happened when Christian took you back to his apartment?"

"How could you I let this happen? He's my boss for Christ sake. I can't give in, even though he told me he's finding it hard to stay away from me. Kate he said he's noticed me over the years but he doesn't mix business with pleasure. What should I do? He asked me to have dinner with him." I looked to Kate for help.

"Ana you're both adults and obviously it's a mutual attraction I know he's your boss and this project is very important to you. You don't have to let it interfere with business, just take it for what it is."

"I'm going to sort my clothes and get things together for this week. I need some time to myself." I walked into my room and picked up my music player to turn on my soothing jams. Could I handle this sexual relationship with my boss? This is an area I've always told myself is forbidden, work and married men are a no go for me. I need a release, I have so much tension coursing through my body, listening to my music, cleaning and organizing helps ease my mind. Christian makes me want to give in and see what it would be like to be with him.

Closing my eyes I sit back on my bed and relaxed to the music. The scene changes before my eyes, I felt my hands run down my body, burning a path as I get closer to what I wanted. Christians face came into view, looking at me like I'm the only woman in the world. Exploring me, I could feel his appreciation. Kissing me with such hunger it's more than I can handle. I'm so close, body soaring higher and higher, then a knock and handle shake breaks my trance when I was so close. This had better be important I don't know if I can get back to that place.

"Ana there is a package here for you, open up." I walk over to the door to see what Kate is talking about. She knows if it's from my mom I just open it whenever. It's either diamonds, clothes or some other accessory, who knew maybe even a vacation this time. But when I see the

smile on Kates face I know it's not from her. Oh my what did I get myself involved in. I took the package from Kate and walked to the kitchen island to open the package.

"Wonder what's in there. You must have made someone very happy, open let's see what it is." It felt kind of heavy so I wondered myself what it could be. Inside the box were smaller packages, gadgets from a world leader in technology. I knew this stuff was expensive because it's what I've had my eye on and wanted to purchase for myself especially the watch. I got the latest tablet in gold, with a matching notebook and smartphone, on the side was the watch in its 24kt gold face and blue band. There was a note on the bottom;

Before you say anything, it's a great way to keep in touch during this rehab. We can video chat when I can't be here and I can always be in contact with YOU! Open up and enjoy, let me know if you need anything at all.

P.S Looking forward to this week

Christian

Oh now what I was going to do after that. I looked up to see Kate with a wide smile on her face, she was about to burst with excitement. "Before you get yourself all worked up, he said it's for business purposes, ways to keep in touch and network. We may have to video chat you never know Kate, and this project is important to both of us for different reasons." At least that's what I was going to keep telling myself and believe. I'm definitely going to ask about this package deal here. I couldn't lie to myself I loved his choice of color I couldn't have picked it better myself.

"So what are you going to do? I see the wheels turning over there, don't over think it just roll with it remember and take it a day at a time. You never know, this extra attention could be good for you, it seems like he really likes you. Well I have to get ready for my date, talk to you in a bit." As the door closed I opened everything and powered on. The screensaver on each device is the picture of my restaurant as I pictured it on opening night. Christian is a man of surprises I can say that. There were saved folders on my notebook with schedules and dates for reports. As I looked down the schedule I see there are two and three day trips for both us to attend. I signed into my account with my work email and I see there is a message waiting.

CG: I hope you love your new toys for work. I picked them out for you, I want you to put them to use and don't be afraid to reach out if you need anything, anytime of day I'm here.

STEELEURHRT: Thank you so much Mr. Grey for these wonderful gifts. I love all of them, I'm getting everything downloaded and ready for this week. Thank you for being accessible.

CG: You're more than welcome Anastasia. Get some rest so you can do great this week and us having dinner.

I couldn't help but smile, he makes me feel good. I like him but I'm not looking for anything serious but I also don't want to be one of many so I'm going to take this slow and let him be sure its me and only me. I have to pick out my outfit for Monday, I needed something that's going to make me feel in charge but sexy at the same time. I went for my tailored paint suit, grey pumps with matching tank. Blazer to match with my totes, I picked up my new notebook to make sure all of the data was complete so I can plan for the future. My mind is like a four lane highway sometimes and I have to find a safe zone to relax and concentrate. Laying down I know this week is going to change the rest of my life and I was at peace with most of it. For now I'm going to allow myself to dream and live my life, you only live once.

Walking through the doors, putting my tie and keys on the foyer table. I pour a glass and walk to the window and overlook the city. I always felt like I was on top of the world not missing anything until her. Watching from afar is know longer something that I can do. Her strength and independent nature intrigues me. I can tell she's holding apart of herself back not really living. Her eyes are like the window to her soul, there's sadness and I want to turn that into happiness. I would love to have her in my playroom, I can see her now. Very responsive and highly aroused. Blood rushes to my pants and I have to take a shower and focus on the bigger picture. I can't disappoint Mia because I can't keep it in my pants. But she will understand and something tell me Anastasia is different.
