Disclaimer: I own nothing other than my creative license to bend this story how i see fit! ;)
For those of you who think this will just be a story about Ana and Christian overcoming their differences and getting back together after the first 3 episodes, i say: "You couldn't be more wrong". I have a completely different story in mind and if you bear with me i will prove it! And to start showing it off, here is chapter 4, enjoy ;)
"Love is great, love is fine, Out the box, outta line,
The affliction of the feeling, leaves me wanting more.
Cause i maybe bad, but i'm perfectly good at it.
Sex in the air, i don't care, I love the smell of it.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and wipes excite me"
Oh shit! This song is so fifty i don't even need to explain why...oh well, you kind of like it rough Ana so just dance. And for a second i have to agree with my inner goddess, i do like it rough, except for the wiping part!
"Hey Ana! I haven't seen you dance like this since your freshman year! Welcome back girl!" says Parker, one of my friends from college. Tall, green eyes, tanned and very handsome i might add. That's why he was one of my smaller crushes from that time of my life. He was one of the seniors hazing us and he was always super nice, not just to girls, so i immediately liked him. But he was older and he had a girlfriend so i didn't follow through with that. But now here he was, single, looking better than ever and he remembered me. Way to go Ana!
"Thanks! I feel great tonight! This is just what i needed!" I say, a little too loud, given the blasting level of the music around us. We were in a little bar called "The spot", it was nice, not very crowded and we could claim the dance floor to ourselves because everyone there was just a little over 30 and just wanting to drink something and go home.
"Hey i'm gonna get us some drinks! What do you want Ana?" says José, giving me the look that says, yes you're going to drink something so just tell me what you want or i'll just bring something strong and push down your throat! "I'll have a beer José, thanks!" i say, hoping to hide my already inebriated state. Damn, i should have eaten something at home! I'm such a light weight! Oh oh, i know someone who wouldn't appreciate me doing this but seems like he got my message and is giving me my privacy. How very not fifty of him, i'm impressed. No! No thinking about him tonight, focus on dancing, drinking and mingling! Yes, i'll do that!
"Here you go! And just so you know, i can see that you're already a little drunk so that's your last drink ok Ana?" says José, looking all worried and responsible. But hey, he's right, i am already drunk and the last thing i need is to throw up again in front of everyone or spend tomorrow with a hangover the size of Texas.
"Thanks José. Yeah you're right, i'm a little tipsy, but i'm ok! Let's just go dance!" I say, too loud again and turning to the dance floor, feeling very proud of myself for not tripping and falling on my ass when i suddenly bump into someone and lose my grip, and then it happens, all too quick for my very intoxicated state. Someone grabs my arm, circles my waist and holds me tight against their chest. Oh my! I look up and there he is, my saviour, looking all knight in shiny armour.
"You ok Ana? You almost dropped there hun?" he says, looking utterly amused with himself or me, can't really tell which one. But i really couldn't care less, because right now, being this close to him actually makes me feel pretty good and i have to say, there's nothing like being swept of your feet by a hot guy with great eyes!
"S-Sorry Parker! I guess this should really be my last beer!" i say, looking a little ashamed but also flustered. Damn, and he smelled really good too! Such a dangerous combination for someone in such a fragile state such as myself to behold. And then, out of the blue, he just blurts out something that makes me blush even more, if that's even possible.
"Ana, you really are a beautiful woman. And i just wanted you to know that if you ever feel like going out, just the two of us, i would feel very honoured to accompany you." he says, looking a little shy and perhaps blushing a little, but of course i can't say for sure because i stop looking at him and try to concentrate on the tile pattern of the dance floor. Damn, i did not see that one coming. Come on Ana, say something! He's hot! And he likes you! Come on!
"Uh, thank you, you were always a very nice guy you know that? You were my favourite senior so you know! But i thought you had a girlfriend or something..." i say, trying to shift the heat of the conversation back to him. But no, doesn't work. "Nop. Single over here, almost a year actually. So i guess we can go on a date hun?" he says, smiling and looking me straight in the eyes. Oh my, such a beautiful smile, and those eyes...Shit! Am i that drunk or is he that attractive? You better handle this very carefully Ana, 'cause you're wasted and he's hot, so don't do anything you'll regret!
"Hun, sure, why not? If you insist i can make the effort!" i say, smiling so he can see i'm joking, trying tp switch to a more relaxed level of conversation and then i notice i'm biting my lower lip. Oh no! I'm aroused by this Adonis of a man and i'm way to drunk to think straight!
But before i can do anything to prevent a bad decision from appearing he completely takes me by surprise and kisses me, oh so very softly on the lips, lingering there just enough so i can feel my cheeks turning a whole new shade of red! Wow, he really he's a great guy and hot as hell, and all i can say is, apart from my inebriated state, that was an amazing kiss and for a second i wonder what would fifty think if he saw me right now!
And that just makes me feel even more proud and happy with myself. You managed to go out, have fun, dance your ass off and still get kissed by the hottest guy around! Way to go Ana, who knew you hadn't in you! And for once, i agree with my inner goddess, this was an amazing night and i was ready to go back home and wake up feeling like a whole new Anastasia Steele!
*** Christian ***
"Fuck!" i yell at myself, because right now i'm home, practically alone, after sending Taylor and Mrs Jones out for the rest of the night.
I had no idea that letting Anastasia go out by herself, with god knows who, doing god knows what, would put me in such a foul mood! I was trying to respect her wishes but not knowing where she was or if she was ok was making me feel pretty uncomfortable and i was getting a bad feeling, like something was wrong. So i decided to do what i could do right now, ask her directly if she was ok. I ring her phone, once, twice, and after 5 attempts nothing. Damn it! Was she deliberately dismissing my calls or was something truly wrong? I was starting to get really pissed and worried so i try one last thing to calm my nerves. I send her a text.
*Anastasia, i tried to call you. Are you ok? Please, say something*
After i hit send, i stare at my phone for what felt like 2 hours, but after 4 minutes she replies. Oh thank god, she's alive al least.
*Ana is fine. She is having fun. Leave her be.*
What the fuck?! Who the hell is answering for her and why? Is she alone with some fucker? Is she really ok? Shit, i should have sent Taylor to look after her, now i have no idea where she is or if she's really ok and this feeling of utterly helplessness doesn't sit right with me at all! Next time you're getting a full entourage of spies to look after you little lady, and later on, you'll be getting some good old fashioned spanking for making me worry like a freaking moron! God, i hope you're ok Ana, so help me god, or i will kill someone if anything happens to you!
*** Ana ***
"Hey, why are you holding my phone? Did someone call?" i ask, looking a little worried that someone would call me this late.
"Sorry Ana, i answered because it kept calling. But it was a wrong number, nothing to worry! Ready to go home? Gotta work tomorrow chica!" He says, with a look on his face that i can't quite put my finger on, but i let it go. After all, i'm in such a good mood i doubt anything could spoil this moment right now.
"Sure! I guess it's time to get back to reality! Not that i'm in a hurry though!." i say, pouting a little, causing an immediate laughter from everyone around me and receiving a very sweet peck on the cheeks by my very own green eyed knight.
Going out was definitely the best decision you have made since Friday Ana! And me and my inner goddess agree, it was a night to remember!
