"Elliot, I am alright," Ana says as they get out of his car that is now parked at his parents' house. They are there for Carrick's birthday party with his family and their closest friends, which includes Ana as she is Elliot's girlfriend.

She gives Elliot a smile before Grace opens the door and gives them a hug.

"You look wonderful, children," she says, leading them inside.

Ana looks around, hoping that Christian is not here yet, or even better that he won't be here. Perhaps, for example, he has an urgent meeting somewhere or he just can't make it. Because even though she knows how wrong it is, all she has been thinking about is Christian and their kiss. She has feelings for him but she is dating his brother.

"Martini?" Mia asks, offering her a glass.

"Yeah, thank you," Ana says, hoping that the drink will take away her thoughts of Christian. He is perfection; he is the perfect man. And there he is. She sees him standing against a wall and looking out of the window; he looks lost in his thoughts.

"Christian must be having a hard time," Mia says as she notices Ana staring at him. "They broke up."

Millions of thoughts run through Anastasia's head. Why have they broken up? She wants to smile and hug everyone but at the same time she feels sorry for him.

"I've tried to cheer him up but wasn't successful. Maybe you can try while I help mom with dinner?"

Anastasia nods and makes her way over to Christian. This past week after their kiss had been…nothing. They hadn't spoken and Ana knew this was going to be awkward – she needed to be sorry for him breaking up with her ex-best friend.

"Christian," Ana said his name as she walked to him.

"What do you want, Anastasia?"

What did she want? She didn't know. She wanted to see him happy, after all he was still her dream man, her secret crush.

"You seem upset. I know that breaking up with girl such as Kate might be hard but – " Christian's laughter stops Ana.

"You think I am sad because I broke up with her?" he asks and looks around. There is no one in the room and he takes Ana's hand, leading her out, to another room. "There is another reason," he says as he opens the door and pushes Anastasia into his old bedroom.

"What do you think are you doing?" Ana asks as he locks the door after them.

"You want to know why I am like this? Because of you," he says and walks over to her, placing his hands on her waist.

She is aware of what he is doing. She knows what he means. And she is afraid he knows that's what she wants, too. She wants to be kissed by him once again. At least for a little moment, she just wants to feel his lips on hers once again.

"Ana…" he says and pulls her for a kiss. A passionate kiss that ends only when they need more air.

"Christian, it's too complicated," Ana says as his hands make their way under her blouse.

"Nothing will change, Ana. I haven't slept the past week. All I've been thinking about is you. I need you," Christian moans as he squeezes her breasts under her blouse.

"We can't, Christian. There is your family, your parents, and Elliot."

"Forget about him. He will find a new girlfriend soon; just be with me now."

Be with him. That is what she wants more than anything. Maybe it could work? She knows she should wait until she tells Elliot about her feelings towards Christian, but he has won her over. She gives in and starts taking off his shirt.

"Ana…" Christian moans as her hands make their way to his pants and she opens them, letting them fall on the floor.

"You are so hot," he continues as he takes off Ana's dress and tosses it aside. He pushes her down his old bed and hovers above her.

He is working on her breasts, and Ana keeps moaning his name in pleasure.

There is still something Christian doesn't know however. And maybe it is better if he doesn't know because maybe he would stop if she told him? Maybe this dream would end?

"So. Wet. For. Me," he says when his hand makes its way down to Ana's panties and starts caressing her there. He inserts a finger into her, and it makes Ana moan louder.

"Ahh… Christian…" She can't help but say his name as he continues pleasuring her, kissing her breasts, sucking on them, making a rhythm with his finger inside her.

"I want to be inside you, Ana," he says as his mouth returns back to hers.

"I want it, too,"

"I don't have any condoms, are you on birth control?" he asks, looking into her eyes.

"Yes," she says, not wanting this moment to stop. But the truth is – she isn't. But she knows that she can't get pregnant today and to be safe, she will take a morning after emergency pill. Just this one time. She just doesn't want this to stop.

Christian took off his pants and positioned himself between her wet folds. Slowly he filled her and Ana cried out his name, not too loudly so no one hears them.

"Are you alright?" he asks as he notices the shock on her face.

"Yeah, go on," Ana says, and Christian continues, not aware of the fact that she is not alright, at least not emotionally.

"Ana!" he cries out as he loses himself with Anastasia who doesn't even seem to have the strength to cry out his name.

"Christian…" she sighs sadly, realizing they need to return to the party.

"You were so tight. So perfect," Christian says as he stands up from the bed and finds his clothes, putting them on. "Get dressed, we need to leave here before anyone notices us missing," he says, handing her dress.

Ana finds the rest of her clothes and puts them on, and then the dress. She fixed the bed and looked over to him. He seemed to be ready to leave.

"Let's go," Christian said and opened the door, walking out of his old bedroom.

"Christian?" Suddenly Ana could hear Elliot's voice. "What were you doing there?" He asks.

"Nothing," Christian answers, holding the door closed so Elliot can't see Anastasia there.

"No, there is something. Let me see, is it the gift?" Elliot asks, trying to open the door.

"It is nothing. Really," Christian says but Elliot doesn't stop.

"I came to look for Ana, but this seems more interesting," he laughed and tried to open the door but Christian didn't let him.

"Will you move away?" Elliot asked, curious to know what's in there.

"No, I won't," Christian said and leaned against the door. And then all of a sudden, Grace appeared with Mia.

"Christian, let Elliot in there!" Grace said, and Christian still tried to protest but now the whole family was against him.

Elliot opens the door, hoping to see the big surprise for Carrick but was shocked to see Anastasia instead.
