Ok so first of all I just want to say thank you for giving me this chance. And secondly I would like to address the issue that seems to be the predominate one... There will be NO CHEATING! I personally have read many and really like some but mine is not one of them. Although if you're a cookie cutter Ana and Christian story mine is not for you. My story will make a few twist and in the some 200 that I have read and followed I have not seen one touch were I want to take mine. Therefore making it my original piece as you will see with future updates I don't follow the pack very much. This is also me trying something new that I haven't ever done before, I am a very private person so to put my thoughts and feeling down on paper for the world to read and scrutinize is hard for me. I honestly felt good after the response from the first chapter but now I'm not sure. Sorry for the rant but just wanted to get it out there, I would also like to say thanks to the reviews, kind words, and follows. They mean so much and help make me want to continue. Dumplin
Chapter 3I awake early to go and see if I can get Gail to help me with a breakfast in bed tray for my lovely wife. I pad down the hallway to the kitchen stopping shortly to look out the back door to sound at the sunrise. It's always so pretty this early in the fall mornings. As I get ready to enter the kitchen the smell of homemade cinnamon rolls fills my nose. I round the doorway and if I were not to be mistaken it almost looks as if Gail and Taylor are in an embrace with Sawyer. Upon my entering the kitchen they scurry in different directions leaving me feel as if I killed some special mood although they all look forlorn and upset. With a "good morning Gail" I proceed to the fridge.
"Good morning Mr. Grey, lovely morning isn't it?"
"Yes it is. Is everything all right this morning?"
"Yes sir, why wouldn't it be sir?"
"I just caught a glimpse of the three of you and you all had a sad look on your faces. So I thought maybe something was wrong and wanted to ask."
"No sir, nothing's wrong were all just a little upset as we won't be able to see our significant others for the duration of your trip. I know the girl Luke just started seeing was looking forward to their time alone and Jason and I have some of our best heart to hearts when he's away with you."
"What would you say if I offered to take you and Luke's girl friend with us?"
"That would be amazing boss! If it wouldn't be too much of an issue I'd love to go!" I can see the excitement in Gail's eyes. I know I did the right thing.
"Then help me make a tray to take up to Ana for breakfast and you can go get yourself squared away. I'll tell Jason and Luke the good news."
"Oh please sir if you would let me do it. I want to see the look on Jason's face as I start packing."
"You're going to give the guy a heart attack." I can't help the belly laugh that comes out accompanying this thought.
"He has good health insurance that covers it." She's laughing along with me now. "Here is your tray the oj is in the fridge and the coffee in the thermos. When should I be ready by?"
"How does 11 o'clock sound?"
"I can work with that time. Thank you again Christian, you don't know what this will mean to us." She says with emotion.
"You're welcome. Go get your man and get packed."
I get back up to the bedroom to find Ana fresh out of the shower and in the closet putting lingerie in to a carryon bag. Looks to me like she is feeling a little frisky again this morning but I'm not going to complain. "Ah wife come hither I have breakfast of gods waiting for you."
"You made me breakfast?" she looks at me puzzled.
"Not exactly. I may have bribed Gail into helping me." I decide to be a little vague about the most recent events.
"And how per say did you bribe our great and wonderful Gail?" Ana asks while looking at the tray of goodies.
"I may or may not have told her to pack a bag and join Jason on our trip. I also told her that Luke's girlfriend was welcome to come as well." I say as I'm pouring oj in to the two glasses I have set on the bedside table.
"You are an amazing man Christian. This smells delicious. I have never seen cinnamon rolls the size of a saucer before."
"We should eat so we are ready to leave. We may have to take Taylor to hospital along the way as Gail thinks he'll have a heart attack when she tells him I invited her to join us." I can't help but chuckle at the thought. I can see the adoration in Ana's eyes she's really happy I've started to embrace them as family and not just employees as I would have a year ago. She has changed me so much.
She has to pull out of my musings with a jab to my ribs "Earth to Christian, Christian come in."
"Oh what I'd do to that smart mouth of yours if we had more time." She winks at me like I'm her prey that she will be stalking. Oh what that look does to me. "Sorry baby I was thinking, let's head down and see if everyone's ready."
When we get downstairs I see Gail and Jason sitting on the loveseat in the family room with Luke perched on the coffee table in front of them. They all look happier and more at peace. Just the complete opposite of what I saw just a short time ago when the trio were together. I watch Taylor get up kissing Gail's head on the way while gripping Luke's shoulder and then proceed to walk out to the garage to get the suv. I ask as we walk in to the room, "everybody ready for some fun and downtime?" I can't help but catch the smirk cross the pairs face as Gail tells Luke that still means he has to behave.
Gail gets up and walks over to Ana and hugs her while they exchange looks that seem to only pass between two women, sort of like a secret language. It seems to appear that I have lost my wife this week. I think maybe I should send the two of them out one day for a girl's day. Maybe some shopping and a trip to the spa, I'm sure they'd both enjoy that. I hear Ana lean in and whisper "Have you told Jason you are going yet?"
"Not yet. I think it be best to let him think I'm going along to airport to bring the suv back and to say goodbye and then just board the plane and not get off." Gail tries to whisper but is too excited to be able to accomplish this successfully.
"Oh that's a good idea. I'll let Christian know not to spill the beans and to play along." I hear Ana say.
"No need my lips are sealed. I don't want to ruin your surprise."
Turning to Luke I ask, "Will your girlfriend be able to join us this time around?"
"No sir, she can't join us as it was too short notice for her to make the necessary arrangements. She told me to enjoy myself and that she'll issue a rain check for the next weekend I'm off." I can't help but think to myself poor guy he's going to be the only one alone. Maybe I should let him stay behind, but that would defeat the point of inviting them along. To help bring us all together more like family at least I hope so.
"Time to head to the airport, we have just enough time to get there with no delays." I hear Taylor bark from the foyer after he and Sawyer have loaded all the luggage. I hope he doesn't realize there are a few extra bags this time around.
"Gail why don't you sit up front with Jason and I'll sit in back with the bosses." I hear offered from behind me.
"No I think it would be better if you sat in the front so you can help to protect all of us like you're so good at Luke. But thank you for the thought."
It was a quick drive to the airfield. When we there both women are bouncing with excitement. I know Gail is trying to contain it but she's not doing a very good job of succeeding at this task. I put my hands on each knee and give them each a sly wink to let them know I think this is a good idea.
We have all boarded the plane and luggage has been loaded. We are just waiting for Jason and Gail to say "goodbye". Man is he gonna shit a brick and I can't wait. I see them hug and kiss and then Taylor turns and walks up the stairs while it appears that Gail is going back to the suv. Jason is almost to the top of the stairs when Gail turns around and sprints up the stairs throwing her arms round Jason's midsection and says "SURPRISE!"
"What do you mean surprise?" Jason stutters.
"Mr. Grey asked me to come along with you this morning and I told him and Ana I wanted to surprise you and let you think I was staying home." I can see the twinkle of a tear in her eye. She looks scared at the reaction she is going to receive. For her sake I hope it's a good kind of reaction.
"Well isn't this just something, here I thought I was gonna have to jack off and have phone sex all weekend. This is a very welcome surprise. Thank you." He's hugging Gail and I can help but reach out and wrap my arm around Ana and pull her to me and kiss her forehead.
"I guess since we don't have to take any heart attacks to the hospital we should get settled so we can take off." I hear Ana chime in. Everyone just looks at her and laughs. Only my woman can get away with that kind of order.
We all get settled and get takeoff under our belts when I call for a debrief of the guys at the back of the cabin. We go back and I tell them both they are officially off duty till we set foot back in Seattle. We all deserve this break with the hectic schedules we've been having. They both insist on being on duty till I tell them it's been squared away by welch in advance. There is a rental team on standby for when we land and as we probably won't venture out much Welch is secure with the team. They finally relent after being reminded that they need the break as much as any one of us does. We head back up front to see the women both curled up in their seats sleeping. They must have got tired of waiting.
I can't help but think to myself this is just what we all need. But cant for the life of me figures out why I can't shake this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something isn't quite right.
