Chapter 7: Patience is a vertue

Christian POV

The dinner went on pretty well. We have enjoyed our meals altogether. Ana keeps fidgeting beside me catching few glares from me. I caught her looking at me several times and she thinks I don't notice it. Well miss Steele, You see something you like? She truly is a beauty, I have been watching her during her animated conversation with Kate. She is enthousiate about everything she does I really like it. Then realisation hits me, she can be optimistic but will she put up with my shit and accept me the way I am? I am very fucked up, I still have nightmares from my tortured past like a child. If she refuses me? I really feel something deep for her, I mean in a short time like this, what a week? She drawns me to her, I don't know what kind of spell, what kind of thing she does, but I can't stop myself from thinking about her, Iknow she feels it too, but still, what I'm going to tell her tonight is so much more. I have to do it, if we want to built a healthy relationship honesty patience is everything. I find myself wandering in my thougts when I hear Ana's angelic voice calling me back to reality

"Christian..." she murmurs

"Yes baby? I'm sorry I zoned out. What did you say?" I exclaim taking her hand in mine. I hope she doesn't notice my questioning.

"I said Kate and Elliot want to head for the club do you want to join them or..?"

"Do you baby?" I mutter seductively. I have never been a fan of Elliot's club adventures 'cause I always end up either on a blind date or leaving the night early since my man-whore of a brother disapears God knows where to tend to his manly business so. But for Ana I will,, I don't see her as a feisty type to go on clubs every weekend, so why not? More than this I'm with her so other fucker might just drop their chances to have my girl My girl, did I really say that? I mean innerly? It suits my tongue so well... Keep still Grey! I catch her looking questionningly at me so I turn to look at her.

"Why not baby" I say clearly surprising El and Kate. Looking back at them I can see their relief. What I'm not that much of a tight ass, am I ?

"Well bro, I didn't see that day coming. I must say, Ana is doing you well" El pats my shoulder lightly

"Shut the fuck off Lelliot" I say ruffling his hair. I ask the server to put addition on my name as I am a commun costumer of the restaurant. We head out to the awaiting SUV in the front door. I slide in after Ana.
After a couple of minutes of chatting in the car and deciding which club to go, we stop to our destination. I just instructed Taylor to drive to one of my clubs because with these two I don't think we will ever decide. Elliot seem to like it "Bro, why come here when I know some of Seattle's best clubs?" he asks

"Because Elliot, we don't want you to bump in one of your old acquitance with a new woman in your arm, would you?" I whisper to him.

"Kay, kay I get it, you did well!"

We pass the long waiting line of course everybody knows who I am and we don't want the Great Christian Grey to wait in here do we? We head in Ana walking with Kate before Elliot and I and I cant help starring at her divine ass, she has the most magnificent ass I have every seen. She seems to keep her body in line as well as her ass, I bet nacked is way more better just the thought makes me hard and hard. Elliot starts laughing at me, God was I that obvious? I can't help it, that dress hugs her body like a glove. I shake my head to snap out of this Ana-trans. Thank god she didn't notice it. We head to the VIP area of the club Elliot and Kate slide to one side of the boot and Ana and I opposite them. I decided to not dwell on the part of the evening when I will have to tell Ana about everything and instead have fun with her. Let the party started!

ANA POV

The club is so pretty, and the colors are so well fitted, the music is exactly the right amount. I wonder how Kate didn't notice this club before. We get comfortable when the server bring us our welcome glasses. Champagne! I lean in Christian's shoulder while Ellie Goulding's Powerful song is playing. Kate and I know the lyrics by heart, yeah yeah can be so childish but we are girls before anything. I have made up my mind, that indeed I will come clean to Christian tonight but however I won't spent my evening thinking about it, and the consequences, as it might be the last time I will be Christian Grey's girlfriend, I decide to have fun. Kate stands up and take my hand to head to the bar. She asks the boys what they'd like to drink Christan opts for beer and Elliot whiskey. I'm in a mood for shots whatever they have Bloody Mary, Orgasm, G-spot... What the fuck with those names? The bartender needs to get laid! Kate bursts in laughter hearing this. Oops did I said it out loud? Kate and I opt for shots and head back to the table to our men. Our men! Christian glares at me.

"Are you really going to drink those? can you handle it Ana?" he says. What does he really think that I have never done it? I might be a virgin but I'm not Alcohol-virgin !

"Of course, do you think I can't?" I say challenging. His eyes grows big and dark I know he is up for the competition! "Well I'd like to see" he says. Kate looks at Elliot, Elliot at Christian and I to Kate. What? as far as I know I'm not underage!

"Well, Kate! What are we waiting for?" I shout through the bouncing music. She comes to my side finally. I turn to Christian "Watch me baby!" I say holding my first shot glass and drown it down my throat the feeling is exquisite! One shot, two, three, four it goes like this till eight. I don't feel drunk Christian watches me with a sensual expression I can't hide my joy. Elliot and Christian are talking and laughing while Kate and I head to the dancefloor. I have never known how todance properly, truth be told I feel like making fool of myself but hell I don't care, when you have someone like Kate who was born with rythme in her soul, so you don't look like an idiot like me. We are dancing and dancing when I feel strong arms cercling me, they go down my hips, and I touch them to my surprise it's not my Christian's. I look up to see Kate looking horribly at me or something behind me. I turn around and see some tall, handsome redish haired man,well unfortunately not as handsome and impressive as my Mr Grey! I snap out and smack his hands off me.

"What the hell!..." I start but the man won't let go of me he crushes his body trying to dance.

"Come on hot chick, stop playing hard to get. I know you want me" he says, disgustingly and clearly drunk as hell. I push him back but he has none of it. He approaches me again, leading to my neck trying to kiss me while I push him with all my forces.

"Get off me ! Who the hell do you think you are!" I start to yell. I've had enough now, one last push and he leave my body finally, I punch him hard on the face and with one kick with my knee to his balls and he is down to the floor grabbing his jewels. I was about to go after him when I see Christian running to him and punching him hard and Elliot trying to stop him. I'm trembling I feel Kate huging me in order to calm me. I'm starting to sob when I see him nearly killing that man. I can't recognise him, once he sees me he runs to me and cups my face in his hands while he leads me to the bathroom, or where else he goes. I'm sobbing hard I don't know why. Because I have nearly been accosted by some drunk stranger, or by the fact that I have never seen him this angry, out of control, I'm very confused. I look up at him seeing his mouth moving probably saying something to me. I look up in his eyes and there he is, the man I have known , his eyes fool of concerns.

"Ana, baby, are you okay? Please answer me. Ana ?..." I take his face in my palm

"Christian .. " I couldn't finish my sentence that he has me wrapped in his arms "Oh thank God, you scared me. Are you okay baby?" he asks sizing me up and down he frowns and holds my right hand " God Ana you are bleeding". I look down to my hand "It's okay it doesn't hurt" I say unable to look at him, I feel so ashamed that I have put myself in this situation. He grabs my chin and lifts my head "Ssshh, baby don't be embrassed, it's okay. Just let me" he says leading me to sit in a small couch. I guess we are in an office. He goes to the back of the room and comes back with a warm washcloth. He sits down next to me and stars cleaning my knuckles. He sighs for a moment and I can't help but watch him doing his handiwork. I relay on his touch, though this small gestures sends chills down my spine. He affects me so much...

"Here, all done" he says kissing my knuckles. "Thank you, you didn't have to" I say blushing hard. He stands up and I grab him to sit back by his forearm "Please don't go" I say my voice barely audible. He sits back and takes me on his lap. I raise my arm and direct him my intentions as to not touch his back or chest. He relaxes and lets me do what I have in mind. I grab his face in my hands and reach to kiss him. I kiss him, slowly at first then passionately. He shifts and grabs my back leading his hands down my butt. I groad as he catchs my lip between his teeth and shifts as I feel his groin growing against my thigh. Oh my God! It has to stop I don't want my first time to be in a stranger's office. Fortunately he breaks our embrace.

"Wow..." he says and I chuckle "Yeah, wow..."

"We should head down and leave" he says, holding me. "I'll call Elliot" he says putting me down my feet. He head to the other end of the room. I straighten myself and he comes back smiling at me "Let's get you out of here baby" he says taking my hand. We leave the office and I realise that nothing has stopped people from having fun, people are oblivious to the event that occured earlier. We notice Elliot and Kate at the bar. We head to them Kate hugs me "Are you okay? You went bulldozer earlier you scared me Steele" she says laughing

"I'm sorry that man made me see red, he wouldn't take no for answer and you know what happens when I get pissed off" I say shrugging

"Remember me to never piss you off Ana" Elliot exclaims laughing and hugging me too.

"El , Ana and I going to head out, too much actions for tonight" Christian says grabbing me by the waist. "I'm sorry Kate, you guys can stay but I'd like to give it a break" apologizing to Kate.

"Nonsense Steele, go and rest. Christian I count on you to take care of her" she says shooting daggers to him.

"Count on it Kavanaugh." I tell them goodbye with the promise to call her in the morning and head out with Christian.

Taylor waits for us holding the door for us. I slide in with Christian followin me behind. He holds my hand like I would disapear any moment and caresses it. I put my head on his shoulder and all I want to do was to sleep in his arms for the rest of my life. I rest my eyes and soon drift off to my slumber.
I'm awakened by the sound of the elevator and open my eyes to find myself in his arms, calm, warm, my boyfriend's arms.

"Hi, sleepyhead" he says leaning to kiss me

"Hi, where are we" I say getting on my feet and trying to take on my surroundings. I suddenly feel awake, this is not my home and we definitely don't have an elevator.

"Escala, my place" he says with the ding and doors opening "Oh, okay, lead the way Mr Grey" I say

I feel fine, he direct me to his living room but I'm so captivated by the scenery before me that I can't place a word. Seattle Skyline down my feel this is amazing. I would love to wake up to this every morning.

"Would you like somehing to drink Ana? Wine ? beer? water ? " he asks

"Wine please, white Sancerre if you have" I reply "Right away m'lady" mocking me. Oh you don't want to do it Mr Grey! I sit down his large L shaped couch and crosse my legs. He come back with a tray of aperitifs and our wine. " How do you feel?"

"I feel fine Christian really. Thank you by the way. I was just scared, and this creepy guy, he scared me. He smelled alcohol and I wasn't strong enough to push him off me. I got angry and..."

"Ssshh it's okay, I must say I'm impressed" he says flirtingly and handing me my glass and sipping his own wine. I lean back to the couch and look at him. "I was afraid you were going to kill him. I never saw you like this.." I retort truthfully.

"I'm sorry I scared you.. But when I saw that fucker I snapped out, his hands were roaming down your body I couldn't register what was happening till I saw you kneeing his balls that's when I came to my self"

I shift in my seat, feeling the hotness. HE IS JEALOUS ? Oh my god? Is HE ?

"I was angry that fucker touched what's mine, how dare he? I saw red and lost control I was going to kill him for touching my woman" he whispers. He runs his fingers through his hair. My woman! He said my WOMAN! He definitely is jealous!

"I'm sorry .."I say not sure what else to do. "Heyyy.. It's not your fault, why would it be? Come here" he says patting the seat next to his. I go to his side and sit down drinking my wine. Mhmm really good.I drink down my glass and put it back on the tray. He eyes me suspiciously, mysteriously and lustfully. My inside starts to quiver, got no. We have so much to talk about.. Me being a virgin.. He shifts in order to face me and he kiss my delicate lips leaving me hanging and wanting more once again. I look up in his eyes and I see incertainity..

"Christian, I have something to tell you before we go further in this relationship. I have to do this, I don't want be heartbroken if we make a decision that can harm our relationship" Christian shoots questioning glares to me

"Baby, you can tell me everything, I won't leave you, I have things to tell you too so why don't you start first.." he says taking my hand in his in order to give me strength. "Can I have one more glasse of wine please I'm going to need it". I say. He stands up and brings the bottle to fill mine and his glass. I drink once, and twice more and turn myself to him determined to put an end to my misery.

"Christian, I'm a virgin.. I, I.. I have never been with someone else before.." I stutter.

I SAID IT !
