Fifty Shades of Life – Chapter 10
Disclaimer - I do not own anything
A/N: Thank you all so much for the messages telling me not to give up. These messages are the reasons why I won't. Heheh thank you so much. I almost have a hundred people following this story and that means the world to me! Anyways, on with it!
I'm reading in the library when Christian slowly approaches me. "Dinner's ready."
Before I get up, he leans down to kiss me gently. With all my worries and anxiety, I wrap my arms tightly around his neck, deepening the kiss. Christian groans against my mouth, pressing me down into the couch.
"If you continue this, we'll never make it to dinner." He smirks.
I run my hands through his hair, "I just missed you."
"Come on." He pulls me upright, giving me a spank on my behind as I yelp in surprise.
Dinner is a simple meal of pasta with basil on the side and some garlic bread. It's really good. I moan in appreciation as I bite into the bread. I turn to see Christians face light up.
"Enjoying your meal, Mrs. Grey?" But all I can do is nod. I hear his quiet chuckle.
After our meal, Christian pours himself a glass of wine. He comes to sit by me but suddenly I'm lurching, running towards the bathroom and throwing up.
"Ana!" I feel Christian pulling my hair back, as I continue to throw up violently. I notice that his glass of wine is not in his hand anymore. After several more minutes, I flush the toilet and rinse my mouth.
Christian pulls me to him, his arms wrapped tightly around me as he nestles his head into my hair. "You okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"
I shake my head. "I'm fine. It's probably the baby."
Christian inhales a sharp breath, before pulling me back and looking into my eyes. He slowly moves down, and places his ear to my stomach. After a few minutes, he turns and plants a kiss. Tears spring to my eyes. Stupid, stupid me. Not only have I endangered Christian by looking for his father, but also little blip! Why have I been so selfish. Stupid, stupid me. I have little blip to worry about now, and I know I really have to tell Christian.
"Christian… we need to talk." I lead him back to our room. I sit on my side as Christian perches at the edge.
"Please don't get mad."
"What is it, Ana."
"Well, a few days ago… I asked Barney to get details on your biological father."
"You. Did. What." The scary thing is, he's not screaming or shouting, he said it calmly and I know that he's very, very mad.
"I don't know why I did it, but that's not all. I received a letter too. It said 'why are you looking for me.'"
There's a brief, awkward pause between us. "Why didn't Barney say anything? Why didn't you say anything."
"I was scared. Christian, I'm sorry."
He turns away from me, pacing up and down the length of my bedroom as I watch. He abruptly stops. "If you were scared to tell me, why are you telling me now?" His stares straight at me and it's hard to look away.
"Barney managed to get details on him, and he was on a 3am flight… to Seattle."
"Stay there."
"Christian-"
"I am really fucking mad, Ana. Stay." He growls.
Shit shit shit.
I sit there, paralysed for what feels like hours, when loud shouting emanates from the hall.
"How did this get to her? How did she manage to get hold of this one? What about the others?" I hear Christian's menacing voice.
Others? What others?
Christian storms back in. Walking straight to our closet. "We're leaving."
"What? Where are we going? Christian? What others?"
"I think you've done enough."
"It sounds like to me that you were hiding something, and from the sounds of it, this isn't my fault. What others?"
Christian stops, turning to glare at me, but his lips turn up in amusement, before changing back into a scowl. "Good point well made, Mrs. Grey. We don't have time. Let's go."
Christian grabs the bag, grabs my hand and leads me out. "Taylor, we're leaving now. I'll call you and tell you the details, I'll book the flights myself but can you please arrange for a hotel?"
"Yes, sir."
"Also, contact Barney, and Welch and let me know what's going on. Keep tabs on him."
"Christian, where are we going?"
"To New York."
A/N: Yay, a new chapter. Hope this is good enough. I'll have to read the books again because I think I'm losing grasp of the characters, so I may not post for awhile, that's why I'm posting this one so fast. Thank you :)
