"Here?" I ask.
"I had a room specifically for that. Then I also had a room for them to stay in. They would stay from Friday to Sunday."
Here. Fucking here.
"What rooms?"
"The guest rooms at the end of the hall. I wouldn't put the kids in those rooms if that's what you're thinking."
I run my fingers through my head looking away from him.
"I'm not sure what's bothering me more now: that you're only telling me this because Elena showed up and said what she said in front of me or the fact that she used you."
He shakes his head "I'm telling you this because I want you."
"ONLY BECAUSE SHE SHOWED UP AND I HAD TO GET IT OUT OF YOU! I'm fucking sure you would have never told me if she would have never showed up"
"I still think this wasn't any of your business. It was my past!"
"Really? I have every damn right to know. For starters: Teddy's mom was your sub. I deserved to know what actually went down between you two. Like you know about Logan and I. The topic of you being in BDSM was bound to come up if I ever asked you to be honest about you and Teddy's mom. And then I would have asked questions. So this eventually was going to be a topic of discussion. But it was something that should have happened sooner! I'm angry that you kept this from me!" I shake my head "and I'm trying to be judgmental to the fact that you had sex with Elena many times. That you were involved with her in that lifestyle at age fifteen!"
"It wouldn't be fair for you to be judgmental. I know what I did was wrong! And I can't change it."
"I KNOW!" I sigh. "I know."
"Do you hate that I was in that lifestyle?"
"Before the age of consent and with her? Yeah. If you decided to continue as a sub or Dom or whatever after turning 18 that really isn't my business. You were an adult. It was your choice." I finally take a seat on the chair next to him. "It also bothers me that you did all that here. But then again it's no different than bringing a hookup over."
He nods.
Wait a minute..
"Who's Susana? Why was she really there?"
"When Elena came over asking for financial help she started asking questions. She wanted to know if I was truly about to get married. Then she started talking about how good I was being a dom and that someday I'm going to start missing it. She brought Susana to try and change my mind. I've heard of Susana. Even after I stopped doing all that. She isn't a sub she's in it for the perks of it. She only does it with rich men. But from what I've heard she doesn't know how to be a sub. It isn't a bad thing since not many people can be one but I know she's a gold digger."
One more question and I'm afraid to ask this.
"Do you miss it?"
"I miss the rush it gave me. Knowing I could do whatever I want, of course it would all be things she can handle and liked. Plus.. There's a lot of kinky fuckery involved." He smirks over at me. "I'm just not proud of being involved with Elena and have her help me find subs. I also don't need it. That's for sure. I find that rush and power owning my business and gilding. Or even riding my helicopter."
"You haven't taken me gliding oooooor on your helicopter."
"Soon, I promise." I nod. "Come on, let's get the kids ready for bed. You have a big day tomorrow."
I nod and follow behind him. He doesn't want to talk about it anymore and I get it. We need time to let this sink in. After getting the kids into bed we go to ours.
The next day I wake up early and get Phoebe and I ready. Christian is still asleep and my mind drifts off to our conversation last night. When he wakes up all he says is "Take Taylor with you." And I nod.
Phoebe is excited to see try on pretty dresses, as she says. I'm excited too but after last night I don't think today was the right day to do this.
When we arrive Phoebe goes right in greeting the people that have already arrived. The only ones missing is Kate and Jessica.
About ten minutes later they arrive and the lady comes over smiling. "Do you know what you want?" I shake my head no. I don't know exactly what I want so I'm pretty much open to anything. "That's alright, I'll get you different styles and designs."
Five dresses later I'm not happy. For started all I keep thinking about is last night. What if we're rushing this? What if we truly don't know each other to be getting married?
I also don't like everything I tried on. Don't get me wrong, they were beautiful dresses but it wasn't something I saw myself in. As mom and Grace see the lack of joy in my face they call it a day after only being here forty minutes.
"If you want, I can schedule you in tomorrow at noon. There are three new dresses coming in. I saw the designs and they're beautiful. You can be the first to try them on." The lady says.
"We can come back tomorrow if you want, Ana." Jessica says. "Maybe you'll find something."
"Yeah, sure. That'll be fine." I tell the lady and she nods walking away.
"Ana," Grace says. "You look stressed. We'll come back tomorrow. Now, go home and relax with your family. I'll be taking your momma out to lunch and she'll be yours for dinner." I smile and nod at that fact that they'll be spending time together. I say my goodbye's to everyone and head over to the car with Phoebe.
"Mr. Grey is at GEH with Teddy. He told me to drop both of you off when you were done." I nod at Taylor and get in with Phoebe.
When we get there Phoebe rushes in to push the elevator button. When we arrive to the 20th floor Andrea let's me know I can walk right in.
"Teddy! I said don't touch that!"
"Sorry, daddy."
"Hey," I say. "What's going on?"
"I keep touching daddy's computer while he's on the phone." Teddy says.
"I'm on hold." Christian says. "And apparently Teddy is hyper. Can you call in Andrea?"
I nod and go get her. When we walk in he's talking to the kids.
"$20 for each of you. You can eat whatever you want." He looks up. "Andrea, get Taylor and take the kids out for lunch."
"Yes, sir. Come on kids. Let's go look for Taylor. You get to see the security room!"
"Bye daddy!" Both kids says and run out.
"BEHAVE!" I yell. "Why are you here today?"
"I had something's to get done. Plus, I got a phone call."
"From who?" I ask.
"Elena, begging to talk. So she'll be over in a few minutes. I wanted you here with me."
"Who are you on hold with?"
"Oh, it's something Elliot asked me to do for him. But they've kept me on hold for too long so.." He hangs up.
"Ana, I don't want you to be mad at me. After what happened last night.."
"Christian.. What if we're moving too fast? I just feel like now we probably don't know as much as we should about each other."
"No no no.. Don't. That's the only thing I kept from you. I swear! As much as I kept saying it's my past that doesn't involve you it was something I should have told you about. Something you deserved to know. I always held back because I was nervous you'd think of me differently or maybe even scare you away. I'm sorry. No more secrets I promise! Don't over think this please. I love you."
"I love you too. But Christian-"
"No baby, no. Lets not stress ourselves with this. When we get home we'll talk more" He cups my face and gives me a kiss.
"Your P.A wasn't there so I thought I'd let myself in- what the hell?"
Elena.
"Elena. Have a seat."
"I thought we were going to talk." She says bitterly.
"We are but I wanted my fiancée present. So talk." He says.
"This is insane, Christian."
"Just say whatever the fuck you needed to say!" I says.
"Christian you're going to let her talk to me like that?"
He shrugs. "What do you want Elena? You already know I won't be helping you."
"But I've helped you-"
"Don't fucking even" I interrupt. "If you dare bring up his past I won't hesitate to slap the Botox of your face."
"Don't tell me what to to do. Wow, Christian.. You've become such a wimp after leaving the lifestyle. What? Is Anastasia your security guard defending you?" She laughs. "Remember the man you use to be?"
"Use to be?" He says with a bitter laugh. "I'm still a man now." He leans forward. "One that can ruin your whole life with one call."
"Really, how?" She challenges him.
"I can make the salons crack so easily. They will crumble down like your life has. Your precious babies will be gone and so will your income. And let's face it, you need the money."
"Son of a bitch! Ever since Leila became your sub and gave you your son you pushed me away! The only person who ever cared enough to help you! Then she fucking drug overdosed and died and I thought you were come to your sense but you didn't." I look over at Christian and he seems lost.
"Hold on," he says confused. "How do you know she died from an overdose?"
"What?"
"How did you know that Elena? No one knew the reason she died. I made sure of it. I payed a lot of money for it."
"Oh, I heard it somewhere." I snort at her answer.
"Elena, If Christian payed a lot of money to keep the reason of her death a secret then I'm sure it's not something will talk about." I say.
"Fine." She sits back and smirks. "Who do you think supplied her?"
"What?" Christian says. Holy shit. Holy fucking shit. Did she really..
"YOU BITCH!" Christian says walking over to her but I stand in front of him. "You know how much it fucking hurt me to know she died the same way my biological mom did. That she was going down the same road!"
"Oh Christian. Your mother was a crack whore. Going on an endless supply of men and crack" she says and Christian tries to get to her.
"Christian, stop." I whisper.
This isn't going to end well.
Christian POV
She's the fucking reason Leila is dead. The reason Teddy will never get to meet his real mother. Don't get me wrong Ana is the amazing mother I've always wanted Teddy to have but it isn't fair..
"My mother was the way she was because she was alone! Leila was alone too you fucking knew that! That's why she became a sub. Then she began to get emotionally unstable and you thought giving her drugs was the right thing to do? SHE WAS PREGNANT TOO!"
"I needed her gone. She wasn't good enough for you. Then she leaves you alone with the kid? She needed to go."
I manage to get away from Ana and reach Elena. I grab her by her hands and stand her up.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" I yell and I see the fear in her eyes. "HOW COULD YOU BE SO COLD-HEARTED!?"
"Christian!" I hear Ana say. "Stop!" She pulls my arm.
I'm raging with anger. I feel like I'm about to burst.
"Look at me baby. Look!" Ana says. "Look into my eyes and breath."
After a minute or so Ana grabs my desk phone and makes a call.
"I don't care who it is, Ryan, Reynolds or Sawyer, I need one of you to come up now." She says and hangs up.
I'm still trying to process everything. How could she do that?
Ana POV
In a matter of minutes Sawyer comes in. "Take her and make sure she never steps foot in here. She's not allowed to come back."
"You can't do that. You're not the boss."
"Look Elena," I says stepping close to her then smacks her. "I've been wanting to do that since you walked in. But anyways, you do know you can go to jail right?"
"With what evidence? You have none."
True.
"Don't come back Elena. Don't you dare come back. I don't want you near my kids or Christian. I don't want you near GEH. You take one step and I will ruin you. Your life. You will see all your pretty assets crumble to pieces. You'll be broke and homeless. Do you understand?" She nods. "I will know everything you do. Remember, Christian has eyes everywhere."
Sawyer walks away with Elena and I walk up to Christian. "Babe?"
"I can't believe she did that."
I can tell he's trying to calm his anger.
"Baby.." I grab his hand. "Look at me."
"She's going to jail"
"How? All she did was supply drugs and probably doesn't even have them anymore."
"She admitted to doing it to get her away. There's camera's here. I have evidence of her admitting to it."
"Well yeah, but will that even help?"
"I don't fucking know but it's a damn try."
"Let's talk about this when we get home. I'm sure the kids will be here soon any minute now." I wrap my arms around him.
Who knew all this shit would come out when the wedding is around the corner. Talk about family drama.
After we all get home I send the kids to their room to play for a while. It's still a bit early. Still a few hours left before mom comes for dinner.
Christian and I go to our room. He sits on the edge looking up at me.
"Christian.. How do you feel?"
"Angry. How else?"
"Stupid question. Sorry."
He sighs and pulls me to his lap. "No, I'm sorry."
"Christian.. What if we push the wedding date. Just to let all of this sink and find a way to fix it all."
"There's nothing to fix. Baby, please don't. I swear I'm sorry I kept that from you but it isn't something I like to discuss."
"But what if we're really moving too fast"
"We're not. I love you and you love me. We both want to be together and continue to grow as a family. On January 7 you will be Mrs. Grey. You'll official be Teddy's mom and I'll be Phoebe's dad and we'll eventually have more kids. Hopefully soon."
"Soon?" I giggle. "So fast?"
"I want at least three more kids."
"THREE?" I squeal and laugh.
"Of course. Ana, let me here you say it?"
"Say what?" I ask confused.
"That you will want to marry me next month. That you understand why I didn't tell you and was all stubborn about it even thought I knew it was something you needed to know. That you know I'm sorry. That this is something we'll be able to resolve right now."
I sigh and look down. Do I want to marry him next month? I do. I also understand why he didn't want to tell me and he does see he was wrong. He knows he should've told me earlier and he is sorry about it. Couples fight, right?
"I do want to marry you next month and I do understand why you didn't tell me. I see see you're sorry and I'm glad you knew it was something I needed to know no matter what. As of right now it's resolved. But Christian please no more secrets."
"No more secrets. I promise. I swear." He kisses me.
"Go on and talk to Taylor about the whole Elena thing. See what you can do. I'll be with the kids and don't forget my mom will be over with Bob later."
"Alright." He says and we both get up. "Oh by the way, your Christmas present is done." He smirks.
"Done!? What!?"
"Yup. Took about a week and a half to be finished. But it's all done now and you're going to love it!" He walks away smiling not giving away any details.
That little.. UGH! What did he get me? I laugh and shake my head. He's so evil for playing with me like that.
I'm not sure if I should run and hide lol. I was going to post last night but after rereading I realized I missed a few details and had to rewrite some scenes. Guys, I really want to point out that when I do have mistakes on my updates it isn't because I didn't reread. It's because I reread my chapters so much my eyes get use to what its seeing so it becomes harder for me to catch mistakes. So I apologize for mistakes in this chapter lol.
A lot of you wanted me to do a pinterest and I know for a fact it isn't something I'll be able to keep up with and post photos for every chapter BUT how about I do a wedding special? I'll post pictures about the wedding and maybe once in a while I post more picture through out the story just to give you guys some visuals. How does that sound?
Ana will be finding her dress soon I promise and they will continue on with the wedding. This was just an obstacle they had to overcome and they did, as a couple.
Many of you want more Sawyer and Mia. Guys, I have a few things planned for them. Don't worry, I'll be giving you guys more Sawyer and Mia soon.
You guys can always leave me suggestions for things I should add on to this story. I love reading what y'all come up with! xx.
