I grab her arm and hold her back as Ros jumps in shotgun. "What's wrong Ana?" She gives me a fake smile and that nothing is wrong but I can see she is lying. I look her in her perfect blue eyes and ask again. She sighs and says "you were really mean in there and it just stresses me that I don't really know the real you" well she doesn't yet. I nod understanding. "Well that in there, that was a bluff, if he didn't lower the price I would still have bought the company but you are right you don't know everything about me" she looks even sadder and I suddenly add "yet" she looks up hopeful. "It will take time but I'm sure we will learn everything we need" and I give her a quick kiss before opening a car door for her.
In the car Ros turns back to Ana "so of the 6 new intern how many are here to land the CEO as a husband, you not included. Give me the dirt, what are they like" but Ana being the soft spoken person she is wont say a bad thing about any of them. We stop at a bar and order a round to celebrate the win and Ana is smiling again and for that I am very thankful.
After dropping Ros off at her Condo I turn to Ana. "Do you wanna go grab dinner? " she gives me her sweet smile. "I have to go make peace with Kate" I nod to Taylor and he starts the route to her apartment. "I'm going to miss having you at my place tonight" she blushes and bites her bottem lip. Wow that's hot. "How about dinner at my place tomorrow night after work?" She smiles and agrees and after a kiss that did not last near as long as I had hoped she is gone.

I get into the apartment and Kate's not back yet so I start to make dinner. Chicken stir fry is easy and fast. Kate walks in and stands there looking at me, we both stair in silence not sure who should talk first. "I'm sorry for what I said" she says and I walk over and hug her. She's my best friend, I don't wanna fight.
We sit and have dinner with a glass of cheap box wine. She cautiously asks "so did you go see him last night?" But by the look on her face I know she is asking more. "Yes but before you asked I slept in the guest room" she laughs "dammit I just thought you might have finally popped that cherry" and we both laugh. "So why did you make Jose meet me here when you knew I was going out?" She stops chewing " well he still has a crush on you so I was hoping that seeing you go out will force him to do the same. It's sad if you think about it" he doesn't but Kate always thinks he has.
After dinner I go lie down and read abit then I text Christian "missing your kisses" I get a reply immediately "I'd want to do a lot more then kiss if you were here" I'm feeling rather brave and reply back "me to ;)" I giggle as I imagine Christians face when he reads that. "Well you could always come to my place?" I sigh looking at the time on the watch. "Tomorrow night I'm yours"

It's 10am and I'm on my third meeting of the day when Taylor informed me that Ana had a mini panic attack but that she managed to calm herself down. I'm furious that he doesn't know what caused it and even more that with us currently keeping it low key I could not just run in and find out myself. So I text her and I don't want her freaking out about my stalker habits so I keep it small. "How has your day been?" After an hour of not getting a reply from her I make up my mind to go find her.
I take the elevator down to the second floor and all the interns turn and look at me. Ana is the last to look up and she looks confused to see me. Alison, my intern coordinator comes running up to greet me. "What can we help you with Mr Grey?" Dammit now I have to make up an excuse on why I came down here. "I just thought I'd make an impromptu visit and see how my interns are doing" she smiles and calls all of us to the boardroom table giving me the seat as head. A blond guy pulls out a chair for Ana and she laughs as she says thanks to him.
Who is he and how fast can I fire him. I text Taylor to get me backgrounds on all the interns. "So interns let's take turns telling mr grey what your individual intern projects are?" Ah yes they each have to do something for the company aside from what is assigned to them. This gives the company an idea of the type of person they are.
A blond girl speaks up first. "Margret Bain here, so for my project I'm writing out a SOP plan to move GEH to a paperless system. It's better safe the company a lot of money in the long run." I nod thinking that's a good idea until I look over at her and notice she is pushing her boobs out at me and that's not what I want at all. I look over and see Ana roll her eyes at this. Good my girl gets jealous to.
Next we have a black haired guy that looks more like a football player. "James Blakemore. I have been researching how we could use the solar planet plants the company owns to sell energy to the masses." No thanks I am not your power provider but I don't say that out loud.
Then we get to blond fucker who is next to Ana. "Kevin Jacobs. My project is about how we need to move the Public image of the company to bring it into the next era" lime light wanter.
I smile as I realize now it's Anas turn " Ana Steele, my project might not make sense but GEH does a lot of work with children of drug abuse houses" she pauses " since a lot of the kids we save end up in the system I thought I could look at a program for kids from the system to get skills training with GEH while they are still in school. Helping them find direction. I know it might sound stupid" I interrupt her "it doesn't, it's noble"
I zone out for the other 2 one of them is eye fucking me. All I can think is how on earth did I get a girl with such a big heart when I'm not even sure I have one.

After our meeting with Christian the rest of my day went rather fast. I'm now on my way to Christians apartment in Wanda my old bug. Taylor sent me the garage code and an elevator code so that I can enter without a problem. Christian is being held at work a little later then he had hoped but he said to make myself at home so long and I'm planning on doing just that. When I get into the house, Mrs Taylor comes to greet me and she has a glass of wine and a note.
Ana I'll be an hour late. Go to the room you slept in last time. I have left you a dress. So have a relaxing bath and get dressed and be ready for date night as soon as I'm there. After the morning I had this sounds wonderful. I turn on some music on my phone and sink into the bath and just block out everything.
By the time Christian returns I have all but relaxed out and he leads me out to his balcony that has a perfect table for two for dinner. After the first glass of champers goes down he asks. "So what happened at work this morning?" I looked at him shocked. How did he know. "Taylor" he nods. I take a breath. " I over reacted. Margaret was going on about her parents and your parents are close and how you would have to marry someone from that circle and I guess I just started to feel inadequate. I don't fit into your world" a tear escapes and before I have time to wipe it Christian is already wiping it away.

"So what do you want to do now?" Ana asked as she placed her hands in mine. I know what she wants and I know I want it to but I first have to be honest with her about my past. She needs to know who I am before she gives herself to me. "Ana I had a not so normal introduction to sex." She looks confused. "What do you know about bdsm?" She looks confused. "Like whips and chains and shit?" I laugh yup that's always the part they know. "Well that's part of it Ana. It's about being able to control your body for pleasure and pain. I guess I'm not good at explaining this." She swallows and says "so you want me to be ok with you hitting me and things? I don't think I can. I haven't even had normal sex yet to know if I like it"
I'm floored I mean I expected her to less experienced then me but a virgin? ! A fucking real life legal aged Virgin. Fuck my left nut that more rare then a unicorn just finding his way into my apartment. May the God above if there is one send me straight vip ticket to hell for even trying to introduce her to that world.
"Ana I've never done a vanilla relationship but I'm willing to give it a try if you are?" She looks even more confused. "Vanilla?" I smile "oh a normal relationship, I've never wanted to try it with anyone els. " she smiles and I start to feel better. "do you want to go watch a movie?" She asks and I lead her to my tv room and she marvels at how big it is. I ask Gail to make popcorn and hot chocolate while Ana picks the movie. I'm not much of a movie person but Mia and Elliot had insisted on adding it to the house and for the first time I am thankful.
We sit on one couch a blanket Gail had brought is over both our legs and Ana is cuddling into the bottom of my arm. I've never done this before and it feels weird but also very nice. By the end of the Ana had fallen asleep. Head on my lap and I really didn't want her to leave so I carried her to my bed. Another first Grey. I take her dress off of her and for a moment look at her body in her Cotten underwear and her strappy bra. She should be dressed in silk. I'll fix this later. I grab one of my old Harvard tshirts and change her into it and pull on a old pair of my pj pants and tuck her into my bed before leaving and going to my office to do some work.

I wake up in a strange room that I don't know, in clothes that are not mine. The bed smells like oak mixed with a little bit of honey. A smell I'm glad to associate with only one man. Christian. I look under the clothes and I'm glad to see that my underwear are still where they have to be. I'd be really upset if I lost my virginity but had no memory of it. I can hear a piano playing in the distance.
Christian is sitting at the piano, shirtless playing an elaborate piece I do not recognize. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude." He smiles and walks over to me and kisses me as soft as he ever has, " you should be asleep" I laugh " so should you" he looks down and me again, takes my hand and leads me back to bed before holding me in his arms as I drift back off off to sleep.

She's an angel sleeping in my arms and I'm so scared to sleep as I don't want my nightmares to wake her up. I must have fallen asleep cos the next thing Ana and I are awoken by Taylor Shouting and knocking on the door. "Sir you and miss Steele are going to be late for work." He knocks again. "I heard you" Ana and I look at each other confused. I'm guessing my alarm did not go off. I turn my phone over and see that it is 7:45am Ana looks at me in shock. Crap we are going to be late.
