Hello readers, first of all I appreciate all those amazing and honest comments you made on my story and I'm very grateful for it and in a second time, if you have any critics towards my story I would appreciate it to be smooth and not hurtful like some others. Instead of practically yelling at me because of my lack of grammar and few mistakes. Instead of saying "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD..." and writting things afterwards you can simply tell me to be more careful the next time. I think there are many other appropriate way to start a critic. As I told you in the begining of the story I DONT SPEND MY ENTIRE LIFE SPEAKING IN ENGLISH BUT IM STILL LEARNING IN IT SO I DONT HAVE A VARIETYOF VOCABULAR LIKE OTHERS! I WAS HOPING YOU ALL TO BE INDULGENT TOWARDS MY MISTAKES ALTHOUGH WHEN IM READING MY STORY BEFORE PUBLISHING IT I FEEL NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IM WRITTING MOST OF THE TIME AT NIGHT WHEN I GOT BACK FROM WORK AND BEING HALF ASLEEP DOESNT REALLY PAY OFF WHEN I WRITE BUT IM TRYING MY BEST HERE? NOT EVERYONE IS BORN WITH THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A HUNDRED PERCENT PERFECT. So next time you critic my work make sure to say it nicely so I don't have to question my story and I'm trying to use an easy vocabulary for people to understand better since there are many foreign readers here I won't spend my time writing in a 18th Century vocabulary so... as for spacing, well I don't like to put spaces everywhere in the story, if I do it means that there is an important information coming next. As I want the story to be read easily without the feel of an interuption I don't out spaces alot and since everything happens right after the other I don't see the need to space it more unless if I write about the dressing scene and then switch to the inner thoughts of the personnages. But I'll try to make it easier for you to read if that"s what you guys want, I'll put MORE SPACES , at least I'll try.
Anyways I hope youi'll like the next Coping Together charity ball! And I decided to make the gala more than 2 chapter since I don't feel like I can stop the feeling of it and I wan't it to be the most memorable thing about each other:

So here it goes:

Chapter 4: Nothing else matters, Just you and me

CHRISTIAN POV:

I left Elliot there speechless, I bet he's grinning at me after those words I pronounced. But hell I felt so proud of myself to say that. Yes Anastasia is going to be my girl. I made my way to her and I was struggling to find the right words the appropriate way to start the conversation with her. As I remember she came in with Ray, I saw him making his way to the other side, he didn't notice me probably, so I was thankful for him to leave her there so I can have my chance with his daughter. With no time I was standing there in front of her, remembering my manners, and how my mother taught me to be a gentleman, I bent in front of her and reached for her hand to plant a soft lingering kiss on her knuckles.
"Anastasia" I said her name sensually breathing heavily, and I could feel the tension between us, she was feeling it too. The heat, the electric attirance.

"Christian" She then replied shaking briefly her head and smiling tenderly at me. She's got that beautiful smile, I was going to melt at any moment there. I could feel my hard on getting bigger just by seeing her smile, I got back on my feet and finding my posture I smiled back to her.

"Pleased to see you again, in the most appropriate timing of course." I said leaning my face to her ear, she was blushing, OH MY GOD SHE'S BLUSHING. She was so fucking blushing and this is the most amazing thing I saw amongst all the world's wonders!

"Um, yes Mr Grey it is definetly a more pleasant and appropriate timing" she answered me innocently "If you are looking for Ray, he must be somewhere near the buffet" she said. Why does she think that I'm just with her to find Ray. She's frustrating! and that big mouth of hers. Of course I'm not looking for Ray!

"Who said I was looking for Ray, Miss Steele?" I said slightly annoyed, I do enjoy her presence, yes even her simple presence is pleasing to me.

"Well, I presumed-"

"I can see Ray whenever I was Anastasia. I simply wanted to meet you first and escort you without anybody stealing you from me. Looking around I may have a difficult time to keep you by my side" Did I just said that? Well obviously looking around ourselves people are staring at her like she is a deer cought in a trap. Anastasia's eyes wide opened and she checked around too, and flushed even more.

"I don't think it is me people are looking at Mr Grey"WTF? Can't she see how beautiful and stunning she is?
" Can we drop the formalities Anastasia? Of course you are the center of attention here, with me. They must die to know more about you" I do too.

She shrugged and looked down knotting her fingers "There's really not much to know about me. I mean, look at me." she said gazing at me again with intesity.

"I am" I said, thinking why would she think that? Why does she believe that there is nothing interesting in her? She is something else, she is so different and she is so innocent, look at her all blushing and and and... SHE IS BITING HE FUCKING BOTTOM LIP. Oh I want to bite that lip. My eyes immediatly directed there and I was distracted by this thing she does, my pants got tighter to the point that is became painful. I took her chin between my thumb and my index fingers making her look at me by releasing that lip of her "Don't bite that lip Anastasia" I spoke with a small voice, she kept starring at me for what seems like hours slowly turning her gaze away from me obviously trying to find her voice back.

"I find you very intimidating, Christian" she opened her mouth at last. My name suited that tongue of hers so greatly, I wanted to hear more Screaming my name when she comes. I was surprised by her tenacity and the way she responds to me, none dared before it was a turning on experience with her. I'm used at people doing what I tell them to do, being in control, no answering back and no smart big mouth like Anastasia. But it's refreshing when she does this, it's more her, she is honest and straigtforward, I like that.

"You should, Anastasia"

I was about to keep on talking when I remembered it's been thirty minute since we were standing there halfly blocking the entrance, then I remembered her sitting in our table which I was so entousiasth to arrange. Giving her my most seductive smile I extended her my hand "Come, let get sitted, it will soon begin". Without any hesitation she took my hand, crossing her arms to mine, I led her to our table where Ray was sitting right beside ours with Carrick, Grace and the Kavanaugh's

.

"You are sitting with us tonight, your dad is with at the elders' table and we are with the youngers'. I hope it's okay for you"

"Thank you" smiling at me we reached there. Introducing her to my parents, Ray gave me a tender loving nod and smiled at me. I guess I have Ray is in the pocket. Grace was obviously in awe of Anastasia standing next to me she couldn't move on without saying that we actually make a good couple together. I looked at Anastasia blushing from another shade of pink and smiling back at me she could just thank my mom. I think, Anastasia has my parents in her pocket too. So I only need to have her in my pocket, well in everything else.

I excuse ourselves and went to our table where Elliot was hitting on a blonde green eyed woman, she must be Katherine Kavanagh. She was obviously into him too so this isn't such a big surprise. Seeing her Anastasia nearly screamed "Kateeeeeeee!" she said heading to her and hugging her tightly. These girls are bestfriends, that's for sure.

"Babyy, look at you. So beautiful you are Steele. You hair is amazing with the dress I wondered how it would look. You picked out well" she grinned at her

"You are not bad yourself Kavanagh. I'm glad you are sitting with me, I'm nearly pee-ing on myself with those heels" she whispered to her well not anymore since I heard it. She leaned closer to her and kept going "Who is this?"

"Oh, let me introduce you" Katherine turned to Elliot. "Elliot this is my bestfriend Anastasia Steele, Anastasia he's Elliot Grey" he gave her a handshake kissing her cheeks and smiling deeply. My girl is so warm hearted.

"Nice to meet you Elliot, you must be Christian's brother." she gazed back at me. I went to her side and introduced myself to her bestfriend.

"You don't miss much do you" I whispered grinning at Anastasia before handshaking Kate.

"Well, nice to meet you too. I'm glad you met my brother Mr. Warmth here. I don't know how but he rarely finds any girl at some events like this" horrified by his comment I patted his ribs with my upper arm and gave him the gaze of the

death. Anastasia was laughing playfuly with Kate

"I'm not hitting on every woman who walk like a constipated duck El" I snapped back seeing a relieved expressing on Anastasia's face. "Whatever" he said and sat down with Kate. I was grateful to see that they took care of my last minute favor, Anastasia sitting next to me. I found her name and pull out her chair for her to sit down. She slightly brushed my arm and made a small wind with her exquisit perfum filling my lungs. She smelled like heaven. She thanked me and sat down next to me having Elliot and Kate sitting accross was kind of awkward but having her beside me was priceless, well until Mia came making the world's biggest disturbance and noice. I do love my sister, readlly do, but she is hard to handle sometimes, so much energy in her it makes my head spin and I wonder alot if she does ever get tired.

"Christiaaaaaan!" she yells my name, jumping on my shoulders for a hug, a tight one. I have always been her favorite brother but she does love Elliot equally too, she has such a big heart just like my Ana.

"Mia! slow down I'm going to die. Please meet Anastasia Steele a friend" I introduce her to Anastasia and she beams at her intensly and smile back at me "Jack pot brother, she's stunning. I knew you had good taste in women." she said making Anastasia blush. She sat beside Kate and introduced themselves to one another. Anastasia was talking to Kate and Mia while I started to talk about the new house I bought to Elliot, I want him to renovate it, I want something more ecological. He knows my taste and would help gladly, well he should I pay him well. Before the dinner started the waiter served us our glass of wine and I saw Anastasia literally swallowing it, guess she is very thirsty.I gathered my courage and leaned toward her in order to start a conversation hoping it not to be awkward.

"Did I told you, how stunning you look tonight Anastasia?" I said in a lower sensual voice. She turned her face at me intensly looking into my eyes our face only inches away.

"Just Ana, just Ana" she said taking another sip in her wine "Thank you Christian, you look dashing yourself". Wine makes her talkative and brave apperently.

"It's just a face Ana , you don't know the inside" which is true, and I'm too troubled for her

"Why do I feel like your inside is as good as your outside?" this truly troubled me. I'm a fucked up guy, I have nightmares, I can't be toucher nor be loved or love as far as I know myself, I have a dirty past. Why do I feel like she is reading me inside?

"Some people say that I don't have a heart, Ana." I'm a CEO I'm an ice in a human being's form, I keep away people because I don't want them to get close, I don't want them to have pity on me becayse of my dirty past

"Why do I get the feeling that is not true?" Okay this is seriously weird, it gets creepier and unstable

"Because they know me well." There it's said, she rolled her eyes leaving briefly my intense gaze she bite her lip "I would like to know more about you Anastasia" I pursued in order to change the subject

"So do I" she says smilingly

"You already know more about me than I do about you, it's only fair for you to open up more to me" I said putting my arm around her chair's back briefly carressing her shoulder.

"Um, I'm 24 and an English Major from Washington State University, and currently looking for jobs in publishing or anything that can give me experience in fact. Well you know my dad, Ray, he's amazing. My mother died during her mission in Africa. Kate's my bestfriend. I live with Ray. Oh, I like books, reading is a passion and cooking, eating is like the world's 8th wonder I swear. So I guess that's it." she says reaching for her glass again

"I handed diplomas at your college graduation, you know that, Anastasia?" Remembering that I might have seen her and missed her, damn what a shame.

"Yes I do, but you were to busy being checked out by the other students so. And you know you were interviewed by Kate right?" she says sarcasticly

"Oh yes, and her Are you gay Mr Grey. Of course I remember, how can I forget the million dollar question!" I say laughing "If memory serves me right you scolded her hard" she said laughing with me. "Of course I did, none dared to ask me this before, not even my family even though they presumed it" recalling the memory. She then leaned closer to me and whispered to my ear "Are you gay Mr Grey?" I couldn't hide my excitment, this closeness, this heat and this damn electricity was there again and I sensually grabbed her chin and replied "No Miss Steele, I'm not gay. I can show you if you want." I am freaking flirting with her damn when did I become so flirtious. She flinched back instantly and I felt sorry for a moment that I ruined the perfect mood between us. She reached for her wine again and drink it all again. Before I could say anything the ball started and Carrick was on stage in order to deliver his speech. She sighed hearing it obviously she knew I was going to say something and leaned back in her chair, I did too. He gave his speech and then the host took place again asking for the tables to choose a head of the table of course ours was Mia like every year and they asked us to put the money we'd like to donate in the envelops in front of us with our name written on it. Anastasia took out from her purse a large amount of money such a big heart you have my Ana. Mia collected the envelops and the dinner started. After my recent comment I didn't dare to revisit it again so we only chatted casually with the table. After the dinner and the desert which Anastasia loved obviously, her mouth left pleasure moans directly effecting my between-legs area. The girls excused themselves to the ladies room and Elliot joined me in Ana's seat.

"Bro, Kate is THE WOMAN for me, she's fucking funny and and sexy, and we laugh alot, and we have many things in common, I can just marry her but I need to test her in bed at first" Elliot says like a child receiving his Christmas present

"God, El, I don't want to know what you can do to her in bed, just don't go there. But I should say, she's a very tenacious and I could see her interest in you too." and it's true, she was literally all over him, truth to be told.

"You saw it right? Christian I don't know if it her dress or her boobs but I'm feeling things inside of me, no other girls made me feel so, we actually have a connection you know, sexually and verbally. She's interesting and not boring, the other girls were all head to toe made of plastic and had nothing to keep me with them. Well except the sex." Why do I feel like he's being completely honest about it? Miss Kavanagh can be only good for him I presume.

"You Christian, on the other hand, are all over Anastasia, the innocent princess. Look at you grinning like a teen receiving his first blow-job" he says patting my shoulder and I can't help but grin yes. And then the head of the ball asked the guests to put on their masks because the auction dance is going to begin and the girls aswell as the bidders shall keep their anonymosity till the beginning of the dance. And damn, I don't know how Ana's mask look like but I know her dress, but there's too many girls up there in blue. She was supposed to be here damn. I don't have any choice but wait for her now, hopefully Mia will drag her on stage for the bid.

I guessed right, I'm noticing Mia with Ana, Kate and her bitch friend Lily. They start the auction with the other 9 girls and Ana is the 4rth. Great I can steal her. Mia is the first to be auctioned by her date Sean. It's Ana's turn, well her name on stage is "Sarah" which doesn't suit her at all, she speaks 8 language and is a ballerina, she's got two masters one in business and the other in communication. WTF? How do they invent all of this? Okay the bidding starts and I put the highest price of the auction's history. And then I hear a deep voice coming from the back of the room, I turn my head to see him being no other than John. He grinned at me acting like he's in competition with me. And I started bidding more and last, John gave up and I won Anastasia for a great price, she went down the stage with the other girls and sudennly she disapeared. Damn I need to find her till the auction ends. All the girls were auctioned and I couldn't find her. Well yes it's a tradition, that's why we keep our masks, to see if the bidders actually are interested in the girl they auction for. I don't know if they did it on purpose but there was many girls wearing similar masks and dresses as Anastasia's which there wasn't at the beginning of the evening. At last when people we starting to gather in the stage for the dance I found Anastasia hidding in one of the shrub outside the tent, looking up the stars. I watched her for few seconds admiring her beautiful shadow and then she spotted me. She stood up abruptly.

"You found me" she whispered "it was an awfully expensive price you just bid on me, you know that".

"I'll always found you. I needed to, if not men will throw themselves at you and I don't know if I can deal with it " I said, truthfully, I can't bear to see her with another man even if it's Flynn.

"What does that mean?" she said exhaling hard. "Come the dance is starting" I extended my hand for hers to place it in and she did. We can dance a few minutes and then I can tell her my intentions. We went back preparing for the dance people watching us intensly. Yeah she is my girl ! We started the dance, noticing Kate in Elliot's arms, the night obviously turns out well for both of us. My parents were happy, Ray is sitting with my grandparents watching the show. I took Ana by her waist and closed the distance between us, having her close to my chest. The feeling is new and I actually love her there wait WHAT? LOVE ? There's no pain but calmness. She put her head in my neck and I could feel her breath, her extremely hot breath. She's driving me crazy, she gives me goosebumps, the good kinds. And I feel lost in her like nothing matters just me and her. I inhaled her perfume in me not wanting to forget it for the rest of my life. I want to keep her there, her body close to mine, her perfume mixed up with mine, her body heat making love to mine. The first song finally ended and I took Ana's hand to lead her in the house. I can't take it anymore I need to kiss her, I need to taste her beautiful pink lips that's been calling me for hours, that's been hunting my dreams.

"Christian slow down! I can't walk fast in these shoes!" she yells. I stop there, and take her in my arms bride style "and now?" I snap frustrated by my need of her. We reached my old teen room and I opened the door hurridly so nobody sees us, I slap the door and put her back. "Christian what's wrong ?" she speaks then with a worried expression in her voice. I pass my fingers through my hair not sure if it's a good idea having Ana in a room with a bed since my huge snake is starting to wiggle. She then takes my upper arm to turn my face to her and I lose it. I turn to her and take her face in mine feeling the hotness of her body.

"What are you doing to me?" I whisped half exhaling and half inhaling. I want to kiss her hard but I can't if she doesnt give me her permission. The tension raises even more, "I know you can feel this too" I say at last, and I can feel her eyes widening, and then closing them she whispers to my ear.

"Christian, just fucking kiss me NOW!" and my mouth find hers.
