Ana POV
We step into the lift and I am still in Mr Grey's arms. It feels so good so I just relax against his shoulder. I gasp when I realize my bag with my house keys.
"Mr Grey I cannot leave without my purse. My house keys are in there."
"I am Christian to you and don't worry Taylor my security detail has your stuff."
"Yes, don't worry ma'am I have them here." The man called Taylor says.
"Thank you" was all I could manage. As we step out of the building I am blinded by all the flashes from the cameras. What the hell is going on? Buzz cut helps Christian to get us through the crowd into a black SUV. The people are all asking him who is the women he is caring and what happened to her. Are we dating? This is all so crazy. Without even telling Taylor where to go he takes me right to my door. Just then I see Christian glance at his phone and curses. How the hell do they know where I live. Oh yes its on my contract with the club.
"Thank you for the lift I will be fine from here."
"Ana I am not comfortable leaving you here it's not safe. You are healing from a minor head injury and this house looks like it's going to fall apart any minute. Its appalling." I didn't even realize the tears that were streaming down my face.
"How can you be so insensitive? This is all I have, its my safe place. If I could afford to live somewhere else I would. But this is the best I have for now and I am happy with it Mr Grey now if you would excuse me its time I go back to my appalling life." Just like that I exist the car slam the door behind me and run into the house. I unlock my door and throw myself onto my bed. I knew it was too good to be true that Christian will still want me after he saw where I lived. I know I am not in there league. How dumb of me, what was I thinking?
Taylor POV
"Taylor what the fuck just happened here?" Is this fucking fool really asking me that? The boss can be so clueless at times. It's fucking irritating.
"Sir you insulted her and she left." He looks so lost.
"I what? How did I do that?" Ok another dumb question. He really does not get it.
"Sir if I may be honest with you. Ana lives in this house because she has to, not because she wants to. It is the best she can do with the money she has. She has been jobless for the past 3 months and has $50 in her bank account till she gets her pay from the club. In her mind and heart this is the best she has and she is proud of that. Then you come along with your fancy suits and expensive car and tell her that her only home she has is appalling to you and is going to fall apart sir. So yes sir you just insulted her."
That should help him understand it better. I can see he is tying to process all that I have told him. By the look on his face he has finally realized what happened. I agree with him though. I do not want her living here it is not safe especially since she was just attacked yesterday. But there is a way better way of handling this instead of demanding.
"Fuck Taylor I really screwed this up didn't I? Now what do I do?" O please fucking shoots me now. I have become a dating counselor for the Boss.
"Grovel sir." That's the only way I can explain it to him and the fool laughs. I know for a fact he has never done that a day in his life.
"Grovel I do not grovel and I don't intend to start now." Typical Grey.
"Well, then the only thing left to do is get the hell out of here sir."
Christian POV
Ok I see how Ana could be offended by what I said. I realize now I could have worded it differently. The fact is this neighborhood is so dangerous. I will never forgive myself if I left her here and she got hurt. But grovel to a women, that I will not do.
"Ok sir then we have nothing left to do here. Let me take you back to the office." What the fuck is Taylor implying. There is no way in hell I am leaving Ana here in this dump on here own.
"Taylor stop the car we are not going to leave her here. I am going in to talk to her."
"Yes sir." The bastard says with a smirk on his face. He knew what he was doing all along.
I get out of the SUV and walk up the creaking stairs. The door is left open from when Ana ran through. I glance around and realize inside is worse than the outside if that is even possible and Ana is sharing this house with other people. 3 half-naked men who look stoned out of their minds are standing there glaring at me. Before they get to close to me Taylor steps in and stops them. They want to know if I am here to buy drugs. I am so stunned I just say "Anastasia" and he points to her door. When I get there I can hear her crying on the other side of the door so I let myself in and it breaks my heart to see her curled up in a ball in the middle of her bed.
"Ana" she turns around shocked and tries to pull herself together."Christian why are you here in my room?" Fuck isn't it obvious?
"I am here for you Ana. And to apologies for my very rude and inconsiderate comments in the car. It was not called for. Can you forgive me?" She is looking at me like I grew another head. I am so uncomfortable in this place I want to die.
Taylor POV
Fuck this place is very bad. The inside is worse than I thought. She has lived here with these fucking drug dealers all this time. I can't even think of what could have happened to here. Even if she won't go with the boss I am not ready to leave her here. I will find a place for her to live. If she still is stubborn and insists on staying here the boss will have to just buy the building and renovate or tear it down. This is so appalling. I can hear the boss chatting with Ana and I am so proud of him. He has certainly come a long way in a short time.I only hope the bitch does not come along and ruin things for him. To be honest I have never seen this side of the boss but I hope it sticks around because he is so much easier to handle.
