Just for the record no he is not doing Elena in that way. They are just close friends it even stated this in the original book and yes I do agree it's gross. This cold has me going on day 7 of kicking my butt but I'm finally on the mend I think and I hope. I havent been able to post much power was knocked out by the blizzard that hit my area and I couldn't get out of my house for almost 4 days! Phone died couldn't call off work so my boss came to my driveway couldn't get up but walked up to make sure I was alright. I was surly shocked that she did that.

Ana's POV

The sun was shining through my window when I finally woke back up the next morning. Everything crashed back to me my hand, the intense interview, and the dream or was it a nightmare? *Had I really dreamed about Christian Grey.* I mean sure he was attractive and all but there was no way he was interested in someone like me hell I was a bookworm who spent most of her time in a library, I hardly ever got out, and I had yet to get seriously drunk yeah we were nothing alike.

I slip down stairs and feel grateful that Kate's not in sight yet. She going to want to know what happened last night and I just don't know how to explain it. I lean against the counter and put my head in my hands. *This couldn't be happening, I just didn't dream about guys.* I did a silent dance through the kitchen getting a bowl from the cabinet and filling it with yesterdays baked oatmeal not wanting to wake Kate up if I could help it, at least not till I was already at work, I certainly did not need questions. I sit silently at the counter my notes in front of me as I pushed my food around with the spoon my appetite was already gone.

I heard Kate's footstep coming down the stairs as I quickly threw out my breakfast. She was in a fresh pair of pjs and was carrying her laptop working on the next news article for the student paper most likely.

"I have to go into work soon Mrs. Clayton asked me to come in earlier to help put away the shipment."

I've worked at Claytons since I started at WSU it was one of the largest independently owned hardware stores in Portland. I was lucky to have the job though with my very limited background in tools and my failed attempts at DIY, but I had gained a lot of knowledge in the time I worked there. It was summer time and everyone was cleaning up their houses for upcoming parties which meant more business, bigger shipments and more hours, but I was leaving for Seattle after graduation with Kate to our new lives and I could always use the extra money to pay off my student debts.

"What was with last night?" she asked her eyes peeking over the top of her laptop.

*Shit there it is.* "Umm it was nothing, just a dream really. He was just intimating you know." I said trying to brush it off as quickly as possible the less questions she asked the better off I'd be.

"You…intimated hardly, you were saying his name Ana, shouting it even."

"It's nothing Kate it's not like I'm ever going to see him again." I was kind of disappointed in this fact, but come on lets face it we lived two very different lives, he was the mega rich multimillion dollar CEO and I was just a small town girl and that's all I would ever be. "I gotta go get ready Kate." I said as I scurried out of the kitchen to put as much distance between me and her as possible.

I pulled on my favorite pair of dark wash jeans and my uniform shirt and pulled my hair up into a high pony tail to get it off my neck. I pulled on my chucks and grabbed my keys hopefully Wanda would start I was not in the mood to fight with it. I drove through the town drumming my finger on the steering wheel. People already were parked in the parking lot waiting for me to unlock the doors. *This was not going to be a good day.* I furrowed my eye brows together and trudged through to the back door the skin on my neck crawling as if someone was watching me as I quick glanced behind me *Nothing*.

*Come on Ana, your freaking yourself out.* I held my head high as I bumped into Mrs. Clayton on my way in. "Good morning." I said looking around at the boxes stacked just inside the garage doors.

"Oh Ana, thank you for coming in early, I even managed to call my son Paul in to help you out for a bit." She smiled widely.

*Sure you did.* It wasn't hard to see that she always tried to hook me up with her son, or that he would text me wanting to meet up and go for dinner or drinks but I wasn't interested in losing my job.

Short I know but Im trying to get to Christians part quickly. How was it? Anything I need to add within the next few chapters? Reviews always welcome.
