Chapter 32 Revised.
When the ladies touch down in Paris. Its very early the next morning. Ana is so excited to see how the manor will be set for there wedding. It's a beautiful place and private it is just the perfect place. Of course Sawyer has come with them on this trip too. Christian says his job is to keep Ana safe and watch her at all times. She smiles because Christian is right Sawyer has been there a couple times for her when she has needed it.
She is glad at the wedding Sawyer, Taylor and Gail get to best guests. Taylor and Gail get to go as a couple and Hannah from work is coming as Sawyer's date. The two of them would make a great couple. They haven't made anything official yet.
Outside the airport there is a big limo waiting for them. They are served some champagne and the driver is on his way.
" Grace do you know who we are meeting with first today? "
" Ana I believe our schedule is first cake and flowers?"
" Carla do you remember if those two were first?"
" Yes also today they are to discuss how the alter and aisle will be laid out. The stairs and all the details."
" Oh yes that is right. I think the stair case for Christian to come down a few when Ana get's closer is a great idea."
Ana looks at them in a panic. and starts shaking her head. " We can't have a stair case it will make Christian feel less confident about just trying to stand he can't even walk yet. It needs to be just a level floor for him. "
Kate grabs Ana's hand. " It's alright Ana I will pull them in and make sure Christians needs are met in that department. "
" Thanks Kate I feel like sometimes they don't hear me. Just themselves and what they want. "
" Christian asked me to txt or call when we landed. I am not sure of the time there and I am to tired to figure it out. I will just txt him.
" Hey handsome it's your loving Financee I wanted to let you know we are here in a limo on our way to the Manor. I didn't want to call because I couldn't remember what time it was. I am very excited to put my stamp of approval on everthing. I love you Christian I do miss you. I will call later. I miss your face. Bye. Love A forever XX
The Manor is huge stone palace. Inside the walls are gold and ivory and the ceilings are painted with mureals. The grand stair case in the middle of the foyer is beautiful. They are told that on the day of the wedding every inch of the manor will have flowers and be adorned with Candles and colors of the bride's choice. Which Ana has picked Silver and a very beautiful pale pink.
The main butler of the manor is the one giving them the tour and showing them the main design of the house for the wedding day.
" Mr. Grey has booked this house to be used for this event for the whole month of August. So as you will see in some of the rooms we have already started with your decor. No worries ma'am this palace will be 100% ready for the big day.
There is this long hall that leads to what we call the gold staircase and that is where we believe would be the best place to put the alter. You the bride would come down the hall and then the aisle would start here as you come up to view. Now in the notes the Grooms mom thought it would be nice for him to come down a couple steps and meet you at the alter."
" No Sir, that needs to be changed no steps for the groom. "
" Yes ma'am."
" Ana maybe we can leave it in and then make the change the week before if needed. "
Ana takes a deep breath looks at Grace and smiles, " I have seen your son cry and scream out in pain. I have had him push me away because he felt like things have changed because of this accident, I washed him everyday and dressed his wounds. I have helped him in and out of bed. Christian can't handle stairs so there will be no stairs. Don't ask me to betray him like that."
Ana," I really don't think Grace meant it like that. It is a beautiful idea him coming to meet you. Maybe just keep it in your mind. "
" Sure mother way down in the deep depths of my mind. "
Ana walks over to look at the hall some more and asks the butler about what the aisle will be adorned with?
Kate, goes over to the mothers, " I don't think Ana meant any harm in what she said. It's just I think she still lives with the thought that she almost lost him and now she has him still and she wants to protect him. I know it has been hard on her and Christian and frustrating still that he can't walk but slowly it will happen and I think Ana hates that Christian feels defeated. She sees him as her strong protector and now she is his. Christian's injury and accident is hard spot for her talk about. "
" Maybe we should drop the stairs and then if he is walking at that time talk to Christian about it. "
" Grace I think that is a great idea. Then Ana won't feel like you are trying to push him."
" Kate thank you Ana can be very head strong and stubborn."
" yeah well when it comes to Christian is so much more than that."
Christian is sitting at his desk and looks at Ana's text from earlier. He decides he should respond to her. First he takes a selfie of his face and puts it in the message.
" Hey beautiful. I am glad you are there safely and I am sure by now you have started jumping into the wedding planning. I love you Ana and miss you too. Since you said you missed my face I have included a very recent like one minute ago picture of my face. I miss your face and well some other sweet parts that fit in may hand so well. So I will be looking for a picture of your face and your breasts. I love you looking forward to my picture. All my love Christian forever, XX.
Ana hears her phone goes off she takes it out of her pocket and smiles at Christian's picture. Then she starts laughing as she reads his response.
" Mr. Grey thank you for sending me your face. I miss other parts of you as well. Baby I can send you my face as for the girls it will have to be later tonight. I love you so much. She takes a photo of her and adds it to the txt. Love A forever. XXXXX.
"Ana, honey are you ready to go see the place settings and linens?"
" Yes mother I was just answering a txt. "
Kate comes beside Ana. " Hey girl this is all so beautiful it's going to be perfect. I am so excited for you. Ok is something wrong. Is it the stair thing. Don't worry they dropped it."
" No I was just reading a txt. "
" From Christian? I am going to have to tell him not to txt you because then you miss him and it makes you sad. No I am just kidding. Is all ok with him?"
" Yes he is good he sent me a selfie because I told him I missed his face. That was probably the third selfie Christian has ever taken alone. I have taken many of us together."
" Yeah I can see that about him. But, that man would do anything for you. He is wrapped around your finger. "
" Yes I am very lucky."
The place settings are beautiful silver lining and pile pink roses. Ana looks at the table clothes and napkins and laughs remembering how Christian had said about not caring about them. The crystal wine glasses are gorgeous. Yes they just like she
wanted.
" Ana honey are you happy with these any changes?"
" No mom I absolutely love it. This is exactly what I wanted when we came the first time. To see it now just makes me os excited I can't wait for the 25th."
" Enjoy it Ana because the day will go by so fast I am so glad you get to have such a beautiful wedding for your day."
" Me too. Christian spoils me he always wants me to have everything I want. He told me that this day is no budget and not to worry. We are so thankful for you and the Greys helping us. But Christian says he will throw in whatever we need to make the day perfect. He was the one who told me to go for the custom made dress. Wait until you see the dress this week it is wonderful."
" Ana I can't wait to see it. I am sure you will beautiful on that day."
" Ana darling if there are no changes here let's look at the center pieces. "
" Ok Grace no changes I love this. "
After the centerpieces they decide to take a break for a bit and they all go out to the pool and eat lunch and just enjoy the sunshine.
" Ana the scenery out here is beautiful I am surprised you are not having an outdoor ceremony."
" Mom Christian was worried about helicopters and the press ruining things for us that day by coming in close for shots. So we opted for inside. The reception will be in our outdoors for people. "
" I understand and he is right your wedding should be a private affair for you and just the people you chose to invite. Christian seems like a very private man."
" He is mom he doesn't like for everyone to know his personal business. That is why he is so protective of me because people just think they should be able to come up to me and take pictures or ask me questions at any time. They did that to me when he was in the hospital and at New York. He was so upset about that. "
" I am glad he takes such good care of you Ana. You make sure to take care of him too. Let him know how much you need him and love him. Guys need to hear that stuff to. They need to feel wanted and appreciated."
" Ana come on take a swim with Mia and I".
" Ok Kate I am on my way. "
" Carla Ana is the best thing that has ever happened to Christian it was like she saw life differently when he met her. He just became more happy. I am so glad they will be sharing there rest of their lives with each other."
" Grace Christian is also the best thing for Ana too. I have never seen her this happy and she is so in love it's nice to see."
" Yes it is. This is going to be a beautiful place to have a wedding. They have really done a nice job with everything so far. "
" Yes they have. It is really a beautiful setting. "
"Ana told me that Elliot and Kate's wedding was beautiful."
" Oh it was when we get back to Seattle I will show you the pictures. Some are ones we took and then I have gotten some of the professional ones back that we ordered from the proofs. I thought both of the boys were trying to kill me with two destination weddings in Europe in the same summer. But, with having the wedding planners it really hasn't been much of anything. "
Christian and Elliot and Ethan are all eating at Christians apartment. Christian wanted to talk with them about any bachelor party ideas.
" Dude we are not going to tell you anything about that. We get to plan it and you just have to show up."
" Elliot I just don't want any surprises. "
" Christian there will be surprises. You will have a good time and you will give a good farewell to the bachelor life."
" You know Christian I have to say it is different seeing you with out the chair. Things have come along good. I can't believe you managed to still hide if from Ana. She is going to be over the moon on your wedding day."
" She always gets to do surprises for me so I wanted this to be a surprise for her. It has been hard because she asks all the time how the sessions went and I don't say much. Thank you both for helping me make this a surprise for her. I have had to pretty much keep everyone in the dark except for my staff here at the house and Grey House. "
" Yeah it will be something when she sees you. We need to tell the video people and the photographer to get a shot of her when she sees you. That will be a memory. "
" Yes I think your right. I have to say I have missed her like crazy but, it has been nice to do anything with out that chair. No more working out at the gym at Grey House. I have done some work outs here. Still can't do a lot because of my back but something."
" Ok so Elliot said we are having the bachelor party here in Seattle not in Paris so more people could make it. We do need to pick a date I mean it's coming fast. "
" Yes Christian Ethan is right we need a date. So when are you free?"
" Not this week end because it will be when Ana get's back and she will not want me to leave and go to a party. So I guess we could do it either on the 11th or the 17th. I am taking Ana to Paris on the 18th so we can see the city before the wedding. She has never been and I think she will like just a couple of days just her and I in Paris."
" Ethan let's plan for the 17th gives us more time than next Saturday to get things done. "
" Sounds like a plan."
" Christian put that on your calendar or have Andrea do it I don't care just make sure it's there. I think 8 pm will be good."
" Well Elliot come on its getting late. Let's go and we can talk about the plans while I drive you home. "
" Ok Ethan yeah we need to talk away from him."
" You guys are to funny. Drive safe I will talk with you tomorrow."
Ana tried her dress on to make sure all was ok for the last time before the wedding. Kate and Mia tried there dresses as well.
" On Ana that dress is wonderful you look so beautiful and grown up I can't believe you are getting married. "
"Thanks mom. I can't either but I am so excited. I love Christian so much and I know he loves me. I just now have to wait until the 25th. "
" It is only a few short weeks away. "
" Mia that dress is very pretty on you dear. I am so glad they had dresses made rather than buying off the rack. Bride's maid's dresses can be so hit or miss. "
" Yes mom I Christian would have owed me if I had to wear something ugly for his wedding. But this I like. "
" Oh my phone just one second. "
" Ok mom."
" Hello."
" mother."
" Christian what is it? Is everything alright dear?"
" Yes, I was hoping all was ok with you. I tried calling Ana and texting her and her phone is going straight to voicemail. I got concerned."
" Oh you didn't call to say hi to your mother."
" Well I said hi now. Is Ana with you?"
"Christian she is but she is. But she and the girls are trying on their dresses. "
" Oh well I can call her later. How does she look?"
" Christian yes call her later. Oh Darling I am not going to say anything about how she looks but her dress suites her very well. A wonderful pick for a young lady marrying you Christian."
" What does that mean?"
" Christian dear have good rest of your day."
" I will I am on my way to your house to see dad. I think he wants to talk to me one more time about a prenup. It's not going to happen. "
" Christian he is just trying to protect you. "
" I don't know what from. But no worries mother take care of yourself and my girl."
" I will see you soon darling"
After dress shopping Grace takes them all out for a nice dinner in Paris. At dinner she let's Ana know that Christian called looking for her. But he said he would call her later since he was heading to see Carrick for the evening.
Ana knows what Carrick wants to see Christian about. Christian will come home in a bad mood because every time Carrick has brought up the pre nap Christian would be upset for the rest of night.
Yes she misses him but, just for right now tonight she is ok with not being there. She does hope he calls if he needs to talk because she doesn't want him to hold in his anger.
She sends him a txt.
" Baby I was just thinking about you. I love you Christian so much. See you. Call me later. Love your A, forever. XXX"
" Ana do you already have a dress to wear to rehearsal and rehearsal dinner? If not we can go shopping tomorrow."
" Thank you Grace but, Christian took me out shopping before I left and I found one. It's very elegant black with spaghetti straps and the back has a diamond accent bow. It's beautiful."
" That does sound great. "
" I am sure it perfect on her Christian bought her a blue dress for Aspen that he never even saw her in and she was stunning in it. The man can pick a dress."
" Kate maybe Christian isn't telling us something. "
" I don't know Mia you might be right."
" You two leave him alone he is every bit a man. "
Later that evening Ana is in her room reading a book. She thinks about lucky she had been to fall in love. Not lucky because of Christian's wealth but because of his heart. Carrick is right I am not bringing anything to the marriage except for my student loans. She has told Christian she would sign anything that she knew would protect him. But his answer is no. So she promised herself that she would not bring up the prenup again. He loves her and she loves him and that really is all they need.
Her phone rings it's Christian.
" Hey baby. I was just thinking about you. I am sorry I missed your call earlier today. Have you had a goo day?"
" Yes it was an alright day. I am happy to hear your voice Ana I have really missed you. One more day and then I can see you. I just need to hold you. "
" Oh Christian I need you to hold me too. Baby what's wrong? I wish I was there you sound so down and upset. I hope it's not the accident bringing you down. Christian I love you no matter what happens with that. I hope you know that."
" Ana I do know that. It's my dad and that fucking prenup. I just wish he would drop it. I don't want one. I know you are not just here to take my money. Ana I trust you so much you have never been about my money. I wish he would realize that."
" Christian I am sure he does. It's just as a father I think he wants to protect you as his son. I am not going to say it doesn't hurt my feelings. But, I feel better because I know you know me and my heart. If it makes it easier for you have him draw one up and I will sign it. I will do it for you Christian. "
" No, I am not going to do that to you just to please my father. "
I need to think of something to lighten his mood. " Christian I tried my dress on today. It is so much more than I even thought it would be. Thank you for letting me get a dress designed. I know you are going to love it."
" I am glad it came out how you wanted it. Your welcome Ana I want this day to be everything you ever dreamed of and more. I am very excited to see you in it. I have no doubt you will knock my socks off. "
" Christian how have you been feeling?"
" Ana I have been feeling pretty good. I miss having that gorgeous girl wash me up in the shower. But I feel like me again. "
" Well when I get home maybe that girl will come back in the shower. I enjoyed washing your body everywhere too."
" I am looking forward to that Miss. Steele. So how is everything looking for our big day?"
" Oh Christian you are going to freak out this place is so beautiful and they have the decor just perfect. This was the perfect place to be married in. I can't wait for you to see it."
" Your mom asked me to find out which night you all were doing your bachelor party here so we could plan something?"
" Oh Ana we are having the party here on the 11th. Elliot didn't want the party there he wanted more people to be able to come so he decided to do it here. I hope that is alright. I am glad I can just focus on the wedding when I get to France."
" Christian yes I am fine with that. Will there be stripers? I don't know if I would like that."
" No baby no strippers. I don't want your blue eyes to turn green. I am just kidding baby. You have nothing to worry about. You are the only one I want to see in front of me taking your clothes off."
" Ok. I will take your word for it. I know you wouldn't do anything baby. I I just. Oh I don't know. Christian never mind just have a good time."
" Hey Ana baby please don't worry it's only you just you for me. I love you more than my own life. Please don't think like that. I can have a good time and stay true to only you. Baby I can respect your wishes of no stripers. I promise. Please don't worry about this."
" Ok I won't. It's late here Christian I need to go to bed. I can't wait to be home with you. Good night."
" Ana don't cry I can't wait to have you home either. Enjoy your last day and then come home to me. Goodnight. I love you."
After talking to Christian I feel so homesick. I lay down and cry myself to sleep. I don't know why but this time being away from him hurts worse than it ever has. I am so glad to have him with me. I hear a knock on the door.
" Ana are you alright? Can I come in?"
" Yes sure Kate come on in."
Kate comes in and sits on the bed next to me. " Ana what is it? I could hear you crying from my room. "
" Kate it is really nothing. I was just talking to Christian and I just got very homesick and started to miss him."
" Ana I get it. I understand. I am ready to be home to Elliot too. But being here with you my best friend I am having a great time. I am glad you share your whole wedding experience with you like you shared mine. "
" Me too Kate."
Ana, Kate, and Mia all sleep the whole way home on the plane ride back to Seattle. Grace and Carla wake the girls up when they land.
" Oh Ana of course look it's raining welcome back to Seattle. "
" Yes welcome back. I don't care if it's raining. I get to be in Christian's arms and bed tonight. "
When they enter the airport Taylor is there waiting for Ana. Elliot is there it pick up Kate and Carla, Mia and Grace go home to with Carrick.
Taylor opens the for Ana and inside she sees Christian waiting for her.
" Christian Baby I am so happy to see you." She climbs in the car and on his lap.
" Ana I am happy to see you too. " He pulls her lips to his and she opens her mouth allowing his tongue into her moth. There tongues start a dance and Ana puts her hands in Christians hair and she hopes he never let's her go.
When they get home it's late and they go into the bedroom. Ana helps Christian into bed. She then crawls into bed next to Christian. He puts his arms around her and starts kissing her on the neck and the down to her breasts. Ana starts to moan she puts her fingers into his hair. Christen spreads her legs father and he puts his face between them and starts gently kissing her and slides two fingers inside her.
" Oh Christian please I need you now. "
" You will have me baby. I have missed you and I want to take you slow. I want to make love to you and I want to feel every inch of you. I have missed you so much baby."
" Christian I have missed you too. Take me at your pace. Just love me because I need you everywhere on and inside me. I love you."
Ana lays silently with Christian in the dark. She can hear his breath calm after their love making. He is gently running his hand through her hair. It is relaxing and putting her to sleep. She feels his hand stop and just sink into her hair. He must be asleep. She kisses him gently on the chest and falls asleep too.
Sunday after noon they go to Christian's parents house and eat lunch with all of them and Ana's mom. She is leaving today she will be going to the airport with Ana and Christian.
Christian sits in the front seat with Taylor so Ana and her mom can talk more on the way to the airport. " Ana are you excited only a couple weeks now."
" Yes mom I am. I really want these few weeks to go by fast".
At the airport Christian waits in the car as Taylor and Ana walk Carla inside.
That week at work Ana is very busy. She has to catch up on the work she missed last week. By Wednesday she feels like her head is back above the water. At lunch Hannah catches her up on all the gossip of the week.
It has not been announced yet but she fears people will think she got the promotion because her husband is the owner of the company. Jerry said that wasn't true but, I bet some how it did influence his decision. Hannah has gotten her dress for the wedding and is looking forward to going. The guests still have not gotten there location tickets it's still to soon to release that information.
On Saturday Kate and Elliot come over. Elliot says he wants to run some things by Christian for the Bachelor party. They go into the study.
" Kate how has work been? I felt like I was never going to catch up this week."
" I know what you mean Ana it was a long week for me. There was so much to do. I felt like I just wanted to be home. I think I was really jet lagged. The whole week."
" I had that feeling after Italy, But this time It didn't seem to last quite as long. So when are you having my bachelorette party? You told me on the phone you and Mia have finally put a plan together. "
" Well I knew you would be going stir crazy on the night of Christian's Bachelor party so, we are having yours on the same night at 8:00pm. Then your mind won't be here all evening wondering what Christian is doing. "
" Kate that is a good Idea. You know me to well. Yes I would probably be pacing the floor until he got home. "
" No worries girl we got your back."
Sunday is just a quite day in for Christian and Ana. At lunch time they start making plans for leaving for France on the 18th.
" Christian that sounds wonderful. I am sure I can be ready and packed by then. "
"I thought we could either go before or after the wedding. I am not sure how busy we will be the week leading up to it."" Just let me know. We do have enough honeymoon time to tack it onto that. "
" We are doing wedding photos after the ceremony just like you asked Christian. I like that idea it keeps everything traditional. If you do it before hand it's like you get to see the bride before the wedding. "
" Yes I like it that way too. Maybe we should add Paris on after we could get some newlyweds shots at the eiffel tower. "
" Christian I like that idea do you think we could get the same photographer to do something that week for us?"
" I am not sure but I will make some calls tomorrow and find out. "
That week work goes by very fast. On Wednesday Christian takes Ana out on a date. They go to dinner and the theater. It's a nice mid week treat and breaks things up. They will both be busy on Friday so he can't take her out that night.
" Christian I loved that you made time for us tonight. You are always so sweet and thoughtful. "
" I try to be Ana. Now what do you ladies have planned for your party on Friday?"
" I am not sure they really won't tell me anything at all. So I guess I am in wait and see mode."
Friday is here and Ana and Christian are at home both getting ready for there rides out for the big party night.
Ana looks over at Christian while he is dressing. It seems odd we are getting ready to go out and not with each other.
" Christian do you realize that one week from tonight will be the night before our wedding.? I am so excited about that.?"
" Your right it is that is wild. We have finally made it to the countdown. "
Elliot gets there first to pick up Christian.
" Have a good time tonight. I love you. , Ana says before she kisses him goodbye.
" I will baby. You have good time too. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. just joking. Be safe and have fun. I will see you tonight. I love you."
Ana watches as Christian and Elliot leave down the elevator. She then goes back in their room and finishes getting ready for her night out. Soon Mrs. Jones knocks on her door.
" Ana Kate and Mia are here to get you."
" Thanks Gail I will be right out."
"Ok Girls where are we headed?"
" Ana first since Christian was your official first for just about everything boyfriend we are going to show you what you missed out on."
" Mia what does that mean?"
" Ok Kate blindfold her."
Ana is blindfolded when they get to there first location. The music is playing very loud. She thinks must be a night club. Kate leads her to a seat and they all sit down. Kate reaches over and takes the blind fold off of her.
" Ok are you ready for the show?"
Ana's face gets very red. Mia starts to laugh. Don't worry they will leave there little bitty bottoms on so you will have to leave something up to the imagination.
" What are you doing. This is a stripe show. Kate why would you plan this? "
" You said no private strippers you didn't say we couldn't catch a show. No worries we are not going to signal you our. Just watch I bet you will some that Christian can't compete with. "
" I doubt that Kate very much."
Mia and Kate go get the drinks. Ana hates being left in a place like this alone. She takes her phone out of her purse. He will probably not get my text but I just want to say hi.
" Hi Christian, I just wanted to say hi. I hope your night is going better than mine. Kate and Mia have me out seeing a show. It's pretty much a skin flick. I really don't want to be here. I love you. "
In just a few short seconds she gets a response, "Hey baby. By the sounds of things they must have taken you to see a strip show. I am sorry baby. Don't worry about it. Have a few drinks and then you will relax a little. I know I am the only guy you want. I love you more than you know. Have fun. Love C forever. "
Ana smiles yes he can always cheer me up no matter what. I will do what he says have a few drinks and just try and go with the flow.
" Ana we got some wine to start with. Then maybe we can do shot or two. Kate says"
" Good the show is starting, Sit back Ana and prepare to be amazed. "
" Sure Mia I am so sure that will happen."
She takes a huge drink of her wine. She is going to need to drink fast if she is going to relax before the show is over.
" Christian who were you texting earlier? "
" Elliot it seems your wife and my sister have taken Ana to see a strip show and she was a little uncomfortable. I told her it was alright so I hope she feels better."
" Yeah true so are you going to tell her where we are right now? I mean do you feel the need to let her know."
" No I don't think I will mention this club. Ana has a little jealous side and I don't want her to be mad or feel inadequate because she is not. She will just get her feelings hurt and I don't want to do that."
" Yeah probably a good will overreact. " Not stop is a comedy club we are meeting dad there he thought you might like that too. But first feast your eyes on all that you have missed being only with one girl. "
Ethan passes out some dollars to the guys incase anyone wants to donate to any girls they see tonight. Christian just rolls his eyes, I don't think I will he thinks to himself.
" Here Christian drink up you need to loosen up so you can enjoy the full affect of the show."
" Thanks Elliot. "
Even though she was a little tipsy Ana was glad the show was over and they were moving on this time Kate said just to a club for dancing and fun. She promised no more naked men.
" You know Ana I am almost sure Elliot is taking Christian to a strip club tonight. So you shouldn't feel guilty he will be ogling at other girls tonight too. "
" Kate I am sure Christian might have to be there but he won't be ogling like you say"
" Good glad I could help. "
Elliot has been giving Christian shots and drinks one after another after the girls start dancing. He sees that Christian has started to become less stiff and seems to be enjoying him self like every other guy in the room. He goes up to the bar and pays for a special dance for Christian.
A brunette in hardly anything at all comes to there table. " Which one of you is getting married soon?"
Right away Ethan speaks up. " That would be this guy right here. Christian."
Christian looks over at Elliot. Elliot looks back and says, " Enjoy your dance."
The young lady proceeds to give Christian a very naughty lap dance and Ethan and Elliot just laugh.
Christian looks over at them and he says " Stop laughing and remove this young lady from my lap."
He gently moves her aside and gets up from his chair and walks out to the building he needs to get some fresh air. He takes out his phone and txts Ana,
" Hey baby, I miss you. I hope your having fun. Maybe you could text me where you are. I know it's your night out with the girls. But, I can't handle this night anymore and just want to be my girl. Love Christian."
Ana reads his text and right away knows something is wrong. What has happened. She goes outside the club because the music is too loud and instead of texting she calls him back.
" Ana hey baby. Thanks for calling."
" Christian what is it? What's the matter baby? Of course you can come dancing with us. What has happened please tell me."
" Ana I have had a lot to drink and yes they took me to a stupid club with stripers. Then Elliot bought me a lap dance I pushed her off and came outside and txt you Ana. I am so sorry. I didn't ever want to do anything like that. "
Ana is smiling and she doesn't know why but she can't help it. " Christian it's ok. You didn't do anything wrong. Except maybe drinking to much when you are still on medication. Baby, I am so glad you called me and told me. I love you so much and just can't believe you are mine. Now if you can make it here we are at the Trinity night club. "
" I will let the guys know and I just need to see you."
" Christian call me if you need anything or if you change your mind. You sound a lot drunk maybe you should go home and lay down. I will be home soon. I miss you too."
"Ok baby I will let you know." I love you.
" I love you too Christian. " Ana hangs up the phone and smiles to herself she has the best soon to be husband ever. "
Ethan and Elliot have checked the men's restroom and can't find Christian any where.
" Elliot, I think you really made him mad. I mean you know how much he loves Ana I think you pushed him a little to far. "
" Yeah I guess your right bringing him here was too much for him what was I thinking.
Let's check outside he has probably walked back to Escala by now. "
When they get outside they see Christian just standing outside the building.
" Hey man sorry about that. Why don't we just go to the comedy club and see dad."
" Elliot I told Ana I would come to the trinity night club."
" Dude you are not spending your bachelor party with your finance no one does that. Come on call her back and tell her we are heading to the comedy club to see dad"
Ana finds it more fun at the dance club. They all just are hanging out and dancing and letting there hair down.
" Mia this is more my style of a party. I don't mind the dancing. "
" Ana come on you have to admit some of those guys were pretty hot."
" Some were buff and kinda good looking. I am not sure about hot though."
'" Kate your stupid husband and Mia your stupid oldest brother. Just bought Christian a lap dance. He called me all upset he had to push her off of him to get out of there. So I told him where we were and he might be coming here. "
" Ana I find that kind of funny. I am surprised he didn't die I mean another woman not you. It's kinda funny. Also now way in hell call him and tell him he is not coming here and ruining our good time. This our night."
" Kate I can't do that it will break his heart. He seemed so sad. "
"Look you can take care of his feelings when we get home. Call him and tell him you will see him later at home. "
" Excuse me I will go outside and make the call. "
" Mia go with her and make sure he doesn't convince her to just come home."
" Oh no he won't not when I am outside with her."
Ana smiles at Mia as she makes the call to Christian.
" Hey Ana are you alright baby?"
" Yes Christian I am fine you sound so different drunk. I am sorry to laugh. I am calling because Kate and Mia are wanting me to ask you to just stay out with the guys and let them have just a girls night. I don't want to push you away Christian. I love you I do. I promise to be home soon. Are you ok with this?"
" Oh Ana, yes I am ok with it. I know I shouldn't have called you and then make plans to come and ruin your one night with your friends. I guess I just panicked and need to hear you or be with you. I will go with the guys to meet my dad at the comedy club. You have fun baby. I will see you at home."
" Ok Christian you too. I promise to give you a lap dance you will enjoy and won't forget. I love you."
" Baby I may be drunk but I will remember that promise and cash in on it."
" Ok Christian I can't wait. But you will need to do some rude things to me after."
Christian laughs and says, " It's a deal baby. I love you now go with your friends."
" I love you Christian see you later."
" There Mia are you happy now I broke his heart. Just so you guys could dance some more."
" Yes I am very happy. Now let's go back inside."
" Ok so that was Ana and it looks like Kate your sister and your wife and our sister. Think he would be a drag to have me come along. Ana has asked if I would let them have a girls night on there request. I told her I would."
" Elliot are you not glad to know that Ana and Christian are the only insane ones in this group of people we hang with?"
" Yes Ethan I am. Man what will it be like once she is his wife. "
" Ha ha you two let's meet dad."
As they start to walk toward the cars. They hear Jose Rodriquez call out to them.
" Hey guys where you off to so fast?"
Ethan turns around and says, " We have another place to be."
" Well I got my camera here incase you all want any souvenir pictures of your night."
" Thanks but, I think we will pass. Nothing happened in there that I want to remember anyway."
" Oh yeah I am sure you don't Grey because you don't want Ana to find out?"
" Ana already knows you ass. "
" Oh so I am sure there will be trouble in paradise when you get home rich boy. Guess you won't be getting down those low middle clause gold digger's pants again.
At that moment Christian takes a swing at Jose. Ethan grabs his arm to stop him. Elliot than takes a swing and makes contact with his nose. Soon all of Jose's friends and the three of them are caught in a full out fight.
The bouncers at the club come over and hold them all and then call the cops. They are all taken to the police station. The officer tells The bouncer we will keep them there until they all sober up. Then we will see if charges will be pressed.
"You should have let me hit him Elliot. I would have enjoyed myself so much. "
" Christian if I would have let you hit him. Charges would be pressed against you for sure."
" That scum better never talk to me about Ana like that again because I will kill him. "
" Well what the hell are we going to do now?"
" Well we could call your dad and have him come bail us out." Ethan says.
" Yep looks like we will need to do that because he is expecting us and what happens when we don't show up. "
Christian feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. With the cuffs on he can't reach it. He is so glad Jose and his cronies are in a different van because he really doesn't want to listen to his shit anymore tonight.
The van stops and an officer gets them out and leads them into the station. He puts the three of them in a cell together and takes there cuffs off. Jose and his group are also lead in but they are taken father down.
Ethan says, " Officer, we have a right to make a phone call and call our attorney. You can't hold us and not let us do that. "
" Your right son. Let me take you just you to the phone. You can call first."
After Ethan and the officer leave. Christian takes his phone from his pocket. A txt from Ana.
" Hey baby. I am in the restroom and wanting to txt and telling you I am sorry about you not being able to be here. I love you so much. I didn't need this whole night with out you. Baby I will be home early tonight. I am going to wait up for you. I want to give you a kiss before I sleep. Christian I love you. Forever, Ana,
Christian responds,
" Hey my love. I didn't need this night out to get away from you either That really is the last thing I want to do. I love you too baby and miss you like crazy. Baby I will be home as soon as I can. I want to kiss you good night too. I love you forever Ana. Your Christian."
Elliot calls Kate from his phone and explains to her what is going on.
" Your where. What on earth did you do to end up in jail?"
" Well we kind of got in a fight with three other guys. Well actually it was Christian who threw the first punch. So let's say it was his fault. "
" Elliot I am going to say you are guilty and are three grown men who should not be fighting over anything.
" Yes I know. Your brother went to call my dad and see if he will come and get us. Look just don't tell Ana because she will worry about Christen and he is fine. Then she will come here and well the other guy is here too. Not a good place for any of you to be."
" Well is your dad coming to get you or do I need to?"
" I will txt you once Ethan gets back from phoning him. "
Elliot gets back and shakes his head at them.
" Your dad says we can stay here for a few hours and sober up then he will come and get us. He really wasn't happy. He did say that one day we all would look back at this night and laugh.
" Mia we need to take Ana home and then go bail your brothers, my brother out of jail for fighting at the strip club."
" Oh that is just good of them to do. Are they 10 or older."
They get Ana back home and in the apartment.
" Mia I am really sorry you are not feeling good. But, I understand but I had a great time. Thank you all so much."
" Ok Ana your welcome. I will call you in the morning."
" Ok Kate bye. "
Ana goes in the bedroom and gets herself washed up brushes her teeth and gets into bed. It's almost 2 in the morning. Christian should be getting home soon. She thinks to herself. She hopes he had a good time.
When Kate and Mia get to the police station. Carrick is already there collecting the three jail birds.
" Good evening ladies I see they called you too. "
" Yes they did and Christian you are lucky we took Ana home and told her nothing about this. But I will hold this over your head for eternity as your sister it's expected. "
" No Mia I don't think it is. But I am sure you will. "
" Alright Kate you take Elliot and Ethan with you."
" Mia come you help me get this brother of yours home to his unsuspecting bride. "
When the elevator opens Taylor is there to help Carrick with Christian.
" Much easier to make him sit in that chair than to hold his drunk self up. Carrick says to Taylor. "
Taylor laughs and says Thank you Mr. Grey I will take him from here."
Taylor takes off Christian's shoes for him and helps him stand while he takes off his shirt and pants.
" Alright Mr. Grey lay down. I will see you in the morning"
Christian roles over to see Ana she is sound asleep. It is almost 4 am no wonder she fell asleep. He won't wake her but he does want to hold her. He pulls her close to him.
" Christian your home."
" Yes baby. Sorry to wake you go back to sleep. Ana you are my everything."
" I know baby. goodnight. "
When Ana wakes the next morning she smiles to see Christian next to her safe and home in one piece. She thinks she remembers him getting home last night. But it was so late. She gets up and decides to make him breakfast in bed. He is still asleep when she brings it to him.
" Hey sleepy head time to get up. You should drink some juice and take a couple of advil."
" Hey Ana good morning. Yes, thanks for the juice and the medication. I never should have drank like that. "
" Did you have a good time? I did but I think I drank to much as well. Mia didn't feel well so we had to cut our night short. But I was ready to be home anyway. "
" I am glad you have fun. Thank you for the breakfast. Are you not going to eat with me?"
" I will go fix myself a plate and be right back. "
The rest of the Saturday is a lazy day Christian's head ache finally goes away but he just lays in bed with Ana and enjoys just holding her. She really is the only girl who can turn him on sober or drunk. " Last night he could have killed Elliot for that little surprise dance.
Elliot calls him later in the day to see how he is doing.
" I am doing alright. I have been lazy today. Ana is going to wash me in the shower in a few minutes so I got to go. I know she doesn't but we both enjoy it."
Kate and Elliot get to Paris on Thursday. Ana Christian and there parents all have been there since Monday late. Kate is still a little upset with Elliot but she is understands the fight now that Elliot has told her what Jose said about Ana.
" Hey you made it Kate, I am so glad your here. Go change and then come join us all by the pool. "
" Alright Ana we will be right down. "
" Christian Kate and Elliot are here. I told them to change and come hang out here with us. "
" Ok Baby. Good I am glad they are here safe. "
He leans over and gives Ana a sweet loving kiss.
" Hey Christian you guys have a safe flight? Some one could have called us and said you were here."
" Elliot we are and the flight was fine. I also know that Ana did call Kate. Don't get me started."
" Oh lighten up I was just trying to joke around."
" Hey guys no fighting I want the next few days to be perfect. If Ana hears you both getting on each other she is going to be upset. She doesn't deserve that. "
" Ok Kate you are right."
Later that night they all sit out by the pool and watch a firework show that Christian had organized because he knows how Ana loves them. He sets on the grass and she sits between his legs leaning on him.
When the show is over he says to her. " Come Ana help me get back in my chair let's go to our room and have some fun this is our last night as an unwed couple."
"Christian that sounds like a whole lot of fun. I love you. "
The next morning they all have breakfast together and Ana takes Christian around the Manor so he can see decor and items that have for the ceremony and the reception.
" Baby it all looks so beautiful I can't wait until tomorrow. "
" Christian me either. I can't believe the day is here. I mean tonight we sleep apart and then the next night we spent our first night as husband and wife. "
" Come on let's go back to the room and give you a shower so we can be ready on time for the rehearsal and dinner. "
" I definitely don't want to be late for that. Maybe when we get upstairs we can rehearse for our wedding night. "
" Christian we don't need to rehearse for that. I think you are very very good at it. "
" Baby so are you. I crave you everyday. "
When they get down to the dining room for rehearsal it is decorated so beautifully. Candle light centerpieces all down the tables. The place settings are white china plates with in sliver in the center the letters A and C woven together.
" Christian isn't this just the best dinner setting you have ever seen. I have never seen such beautiful center pieces. Tomorrow is going to be beautiful. But I never dreamed the rehearsal dinner would be so grand. "
" Ana I told you this whole week end will be nothing but the best for you. Now let's join our families at the table and eat and laugh and then rehearse getting married. I would imagine after this they whisk me way so we can't see each other anymore. "
" Yes Christian but tomorrow will be the best day ever I promise. "
" Ana you are so right."
" Ana dinner was fabulous. I can't believe this room is so beautiful. I am sure the rehearsal will go fine. Then after that Elliot is taking your groom away for the night. "
" I know Kate and I am so ready for tomorrow."
At the rehearsal Kate goes up to Christian and hugs him and whispers in his ear. " Elliot told me your situation last night. I love the plan remember tomorrow then you start at the fourth stair up. Tonight stay on the floor"
" Kate thank you yes, I will do that. Thank you for helping me surprise my bride tomorrow."
" Ok Ana and Christian time to say goodbye and good night. "
Carrick says.
Ana goes over to Christian and sits on his lap and kisses him. " Christian I will see you tomorrow. I look forward to being Mrs. Christian Grey tomorrow. I can't wait to start the next chapter of our life together. "
" Ana baby, me either. I will miss you tonight. But, I know the next time I see you, you will be coming down that aisle in a beautiful dress and you will become my wife. There is nothing I want more. I love you. "
After All the guys have left the manor the ladies sit in one of the many sitting rooms and tea and cookies and talk and laugh and just have a wonderful time.
Ana looks around and she is so happy all the people she loves are here to see her and Christian become man and wife tomorrow.
When it's well past mid night Kate and Ana go up to the room to go to sleep.
" Ana are you excited or nervous. "
" Kate I am a little of both. I wish Christian would have been better but I know he soon will be. So I don't feel hopeless about it. I am just so excited to be married. "
" I think you and Christian will be great together. I can't wait to see everything tomorrow. I really believe he is going to love your dress."
" Me too. Kate good night."
" Good night Ana."
The next day everyone is on the move preparing all the last minute items and setting all the fresh flowers.
Ana, Kate, Mia and both mothers are getting there hair and make up on. Christian and all the guys arrive back on the Manor grounds and they go inside to get dressed in there suits.
Kate and Carla put on their dresses and then it's time to help Ana get into her dress. Kate puts her diamond hair pin on the side of her bun. Carla buttons up the fine buttons along the back of the dress. Then Kate adds the veil.
" Ana you look so beautiful Christian is going to be so pleased and happy with how you look in this dress. "
" Thanks mom. I am glad you like it. I think it is so wonderful. "
Finally Ana and all the ladies come down stairs. Ana goes in a private room off the hall where Ray will come and get her.
Mia and Kate line up and get ready for there walk down the aisle. First Carla is seated and then Mrs. Grey is seated. The Minister comes out of a room from the side. Then Christian comes out near the top of the staircase. He walks down until he is four steps from the floor.
Mia comes down the aisle in her blush and silver dress her hair is elegantly up. Then comes Kate and Elliot. She also is in a blush and silver gown and her hair is up and to the side.
Ray goes and knocks on the door.
"Come in."
" Ana are you ready? You look so beautiful Ana. "
" Ray don't cry not yet I can't mess my makeup yet. "
'Ok I will try not to. Are you ready it's your time to come walk down that aisle to your groom."
" Yes I have been ready for a very long time."
Ray leads her to the closed very beautiful wooden doors. The doors open and Ray and Ana enter the room. They go around a corner to come to the straight part of the aisle.
Ana doesn't see Christian until she looks up and there he is standing on the stairs all by himself. She stops and begins crying she can't move. Christian comes down the stairs and holds out his hand to her as if saying come on baby.
Ana let's go of Ray and Runs toward Christian. "Christian oh Christian. "
He holds both of his arms out and she runs right in them crying he wraps her in his arms' In her ear he whispers.
" I love you Ana."
With tears in her eyes she clears her throat and says, " Christian I love you too forever."
