First day of my internship has been great so far. GEH is huge and working as a copy writer intern will get me one step closer to my ultimate goal of publisher. They are about to take us up to the 30th floor to meet the big man himself. I sent Kate a msg and she is jealous as all hell. Before heading up Alison, our intern liaison warns us that mr grey is very strict and very scary but that he has a good heart under it all. As we wait for the elevator I text Chris. "Can't wait to see you tonight" it's funny I know we have just met but that man already claims all my daydreaming time. Kate has been dying to meet the man who has me in such a spin and I know at some point I'll have to introduce them but right now I just want to get to know him.
We are first escorted into miss Baileys office, she's second in charge of GEH. She's a character and a half. The writer in me wants to build a book around her. She has short red hair gelled up in spikes. She's wearing a pair of tight black jeans, a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up passed her elbows letting her tattooed sleeve arms show. She's so cool. She's outspoken and not even a little sorry about who she is. I think that's amazing. I hope one day that I can be as sure of myself as she is. She escorts us into mr Grey's office and I am immediately mesmerized by a landscape painting with red tulleps. "It's a South African painter called Munro" I turn to reply to the voice. My body suddenly stops when I am met by big Grey eyes. What the hell is Chris doing here? "Chris? " oh my hat, Chris is Christian Grey! "Ana?"
We stare at each other for what feels like an eternity. Miss Bailey must realize something is up as she very swiftly removes everyone from the office. "I don't understand? Your Christian Grey?" He nods, not looking sure about what to say. "Look Ana I was planning on telling you tonight at dinner. I didn't tell you who I was because I didn't want you to judge me based on what the media sees as me. I wanted you to get to know the real person. " Now it's my turn to nod unable to speak. "Ana please tell me what your thinking?" I have a million thoughts a minute between why would someone like Christian grey even look at me maybe he just wanted to be friends and I miss understood to wow he is still just as hot And then my no filter between my mouth and brain happens again and I blurt out "I've been having inappropriate thoughts about my boss" oh god I said that out loud. I must be turning bright red by now. Chris or Christian or I guess I should start calling him Mr Grey looks at me shocked for a moment and then laughs a full hearted belly laugh. We are interrupted by his cellphone buzzing, he holds up a finger as he takes his call. He grunts in respond to the voice before ending the call. "Ana I have to go to a meeting, but can we talk tonight? Over dinner as planned?" I'm not sure what to say but I do want to hear his side of the story. " well your the boss so I don't really have a choice" I say well smirking at him. "Oh Ana what are we going to do with that smart mouth of yours?"
The rest of my day I sat at my desk worried about dinner. Firstly what could THE Christian Grey want with someone like me? Secondly he is my boss and that is a big problem. Then I google him. Wow he is way out of my league. Not only is he scary rich and super hot but he has also spent a lot of his time giving back to the needy. I don't know why he even looks my way? He must have millions of girls after him. I mean he has Kate after him. Oh god Kate! How will I tell her? Well let's survive dinner first and see how this goes. I rush home after work to quickly change but nothing feels good enough and my stress levels are off the charts. I have never been on a "real grown up date" and now to make it worst he's my boss so if it doesn't work out I'll still be stuck seeing him. Suddenly the doorbell rings and I look at my watch confused as I still have an hour before he picks me up. I rush to the door and am greeted by Joses grinning face holding a pizza.
"Wow Ana you really did not need to get all dressed up just for me" he winks before hugging me hallo. "What are you doing here?" I ask while we move to the kitchen" Well I had to meet with a gallery here and it's a bit late to drive back so Kate said it would be okey if I crash" ah I think Kate's working with a plan. Jose has always had a little crush on me and never gets the msg that I'm not interested so this might be Kate's way of making him see. "So where are you going tonight ?" He says while studying me from bottom to top. "Oh, I have a second date" his face suddenly drops.
By the time Chris or Christian, gosh I'm not even sure what to call him. Reminder to ask him what I need to call him. Stops his car in front of the house I am out the door and down the three steps to his car. He looks at me confused and I promise to explain later as we drive off. He stop at the marina and he leads me to a very intimate Italian place called Gino's. Chris orders a bottle of wine in perfect Italian and I swoon.
"So you work for my company now?" We both laugh awkwardly. "Look Chris, I mean Christian or mr grey I have really liked our chats this past week but I also understand that you are my boss now and that that has a challenge in itself and that we should keep this professional and I also just wanted to say that I understand why you didn't tell me who you were" I'm babbling on at like a 1000 words per minute trying to get everything out that I thought about this afternoon when he shifts his chair around the table to next to me.
"What are you doing?" I look at him confused. "What I have wanted to do since I saw you at my club." He places a hand behind my head and gently pushes my head forward as his moves closer to me as well. His lips are softer then I have imagined them and his kisses send little charges of electricity down my entire body. I feel his tongue pushing at my lips and I open my mouth to give him entrance. This goes on for an amount of time that I am not sure of but when he stops we are both at a loss of air. We both look at each other and laugh.
Dinner was amazing with us getting to know each other better. We talked about work and how we would keep it professional there. We talked about how the press reacts to anything he does and that he would want to just lay low about us while we get to know each other. He explains that Taylor is his security and after I scan the room I find him about two tables away. I told him about Kate but said I would talk to her about not saying anything. We took a stroll around the marina looking at all the boats and the far off twinkling lights of the city. Wow this was romantic. "Ana I've uhm never actually asked a girl this and we have been talking tonight as if it was a given but I want to make it official. Will you be my girlfriend?" I blush and nod and he kisses me once more as we continue our stroll.
When I get home he walks me to the door and plants a final soft kiss on my lips. "I'll find an excuse to see you at work" he says with a wink and I blush. From inside I watch as he drives off. "So why didn't we get to meet him?" Kate suddenly says and I turn around to find her and Jose with glasses of wine watching tv. "Maybe soon" I say as I start to blush. "Well if that goodnight kiss was anything to go by I'm guessing the date went well?" I nod and Jose cringes. "Did I hear correct in he will find a excuse to see you at work? Does he also work for GEH?" I laugh my nervous laugh. "Ya small world" Kate raises a eyebrow. "Spill it Steele what aren't you telling us?" I try and think of how to say this.
"Okey but what I tell you guys you can't share with anyone" I say looking pointedly at Kate. she lifted up her two fingers. " scouts honor. What you tell us will stay here" Jose just nodded. "Well Chris is uhm actually Christian Grey" Kate is speechless for the first time ever with her jaw slightly open and Jose just looks confused. "What am I missing here?" Kate and I both look at him. "Christian Grey is Seattle's richest and most elusive bachelor" Kate says and then adds "and Ana's boss"
After Jose has passed out in front of the television Kate came sneaking into my room. "Can we talk about your relationship Ana?" I laugh thinking normally its me worried about the people she's dating or sleeping with. I nod wondering what she will say. "I know you haven't dated a lot but Ana dating your boss is really not a smart idea" for the next half an hour we debate this with Me trying to explain to Kate that I get what she is worried about but that it is still my choose and that I want to try it with him. Then Kate said something that pushed me passed my normal temper line "Ana I won't allow you to make this mistake" I stood up and she looked confused "you are not my mother Kate and honestly you have sex with every guy who comes within touching range of you! Your just jealous cos you wanted him. I'm leaving now I really just don't want to be in the same place as you" with that I grab my keys and leave.
When I stop at Starbucks I feel depleted. I know Kate is just trying to look out for me but she had no right to speak to me the way she did. I order a caramel latte and take my seat before sending Chris a goodnight msg. "Tonight was more then I ever imagined. I hope your snug in bed, I find myself at a Starbucks lol see you tomorrow at work mr grey ;)"

I just get into bed when my phone lights up. It's probably just Ana saying goodnight. I roll over and grab my phone. As I read her text fear starts to build up in me why on earth is she out this time of night. Does it have something to do with the friend she said was staying over? Is she okey ? I google Starbucks in her area and get up to go get her. I pull on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and jump into my r8.I had fetched her earlier in one of my more normal audies as I didn't want the money to freak her out but right now I just want the fastest to get to her. Within 10minutes I'm parking outside the Starbucks.
I storm in and she looks up at me her big blue eyes tear stained. "Hey" she says looking a bit confused and clearing her eyes. "What happened?" I ask as I take her hand. I can feel my rage building and I want to phone Taylor and have him execute whomever made her feel this way. I need to protect her. "I had a huge fight with my room mate and I just didn't want to stay there. You really didn't need to come all the way down here." She starts to yawn and I tug at her hand as I get up. "Come lets go home. " she looks at me confused but she follows.
We stop in the underground parking and I can feel the nervousness radiating off of Ana. "I'm looking forward to showing you my house. I already asked Taylor to set up a guest room for you so there is nothing to worry about." She gives my hand a gentle squeeze. We get in the elevator and her eyes go wide as she takes in my great room. "You live here?" She looks at me in shock.
After a cup of hot chocolate Ana has calmed down and we are sitting on the sofa playing 20 questions. We both are barefoot and have our feet curled up on the couch, every now and again our feet lightly brush and it send shocks into my body. I lean over and she leans in as well and we start to softly kiss. Then it happens and I kick myself that I did not see it coming. She placed her hand under my chest and I jump back off the couch hoping beyond hope that the burning sensation doesn't start. Ana looks up at me like I've gone crazy. Great now she gets to see the real me.
"Chris, are you okey? Did I do something wrong?" Her big blue eyes staring at me for an answer.
