Christian
I am appalled at myself. Why the fuck did I go off on her like that? I also realized we are alone because Alex and Taylor has slipped out of the room without us realizing it. I cried for the first time in 23 years when Ana whispered to me that she though I was going to hit her like she was used to. I was so ashamed of myself. We held each other and just sobbed. She refused to let me pull away from her.
"Ana I would never ever hurt you baby. This I promise you. I will do everything humanly possible to keep you safe. I am so sorry I scared you today it will never happen again. Please forgive me?"
"Christian I forgive you. You had just caught me off guard. Lets not talk about any of this today. I know where you are coming from and you know were I am coming from."
"Ok baby I think you are right. We will however get back to all this."
"Yes but another time. Lets go work out."
"Yes come on." We walk out of the room hand in hand towards Alex and Taylor when my phone rings. We both glance at the screen and it is Elena. I can tell Ana saw it because she immediately pulls her hand away from mine and I let the call go to voice mail. She walks over to stand next to Alex and shocks the fuck out of me.
"Christian why is she calling you?" Fuck what do I say to that?
"We are friends and business partners." I can see she is shocked and I have fucked up once again. I hate that she has pulled away from me.
"Christian how fucking dare you. How the fuck would you feel if I was friends with Morton? You are upset about what Carla done to me but you are ok with a pedophile who not only fucked you when you were 15 years old but also fucked you brother 3 years before you. That women is a sick bitch and needs to be in jail." Fuck I laid all her shit out in front of Alex and Taylor and payback is a bitch. She has me backed into a corner and there is fuck all I can do. I have both Taylor and Alex now staring at me with there mouths open. The one thing I cant seem to fucking process is what she is saying about Elliot.
"Ana she was never with Elliot." Oh fuck I hope I am right but I have a funny gut feeling I am wrong.
"Fine phone her and ask her then. Lets see if she is honest with you. Put it on speaker so I can hear." I pull out my phone and redial her and she picks up. No surprise there.
"Christian darling so good to hear from you. I just tried to call you." Her voice fills the gym and I want to be sick. I don't understand why I am having this reaction to her? It has never happened before.
"Elena." Is all I can get out without ripping her to shreds.
"Always so formal Christian. Are you in need of a sub again? It sure sounds like you need one." I cringe at that remark especialy infront of Ana who has not taken her eyes off me once.
"No fucking way. I am done with that lifestyle Elena. That is not what I called for."
"Wait up Christian. Did I hear you right? You cannot just be done with it. You need it. You cannot live without the control it gives you. If you do not want those subs I am always available for you. I have missed you big…."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP Elena." I scream into the phone. I can't fucking believe her. All this fucking time and I could not see what she was doing. I feel like I am loosing control till I feel Ana wrap her arms around my waist and it gets me to relax and think. She somehow knows what I need even when I don't.
"I want to know if you fucked Elliot before me?" I can hear when she sucks in an unexpected breath.
"What makes you ask such a question Christian?"
"Answer the fucking question Elena. Did you or did you not fuck my brother?"
"I certainly did not fuck Elliot." And she slams the phone down in my ear. What the fuck am I supposed to think now? I know she is lying to me but I have no proof.
"Christian she is lying to you and I will prove it to you when we get to your penthouse. Then you can meet her and decide whether you want her in your life because I don't think I can share you with her knowing that she abused you and your brother for years and not to forget she has supplied you with your subs. Lets also not mention her offer to you just now." Fuck I know Ana is right and there is no way I am giving Ana up.
"Ana there is no fucking way I am loosing you. She can go fuck herself as far am I am concerned. If she is lying to me and she fucked my brother I am going to destroy her. Now lets train." I work the bag with Taylor but my mind keeps going back to what Ana said about having proof. I glance over to her and I am shocked when she and Alex get into the ring together. I stop my workout and Taylor and I watch them spar.
"Fuck boss she is very good."
"I didn't even know she does kickboxing Taylor."
"It was in the new background check. She is also trained in karate and boxing Sir." I am impressed. I need to read her file properly. They finish up and we agree to meet up in an hours time. I called Elliot to invite him over and he said he can't come because he has a date with Kate that I completely forgot about.
Ana
I am showered and dressed in my sexiest blue stone wash jeans with a Black long-sleeved see-through top that is backless. I put on a silk thin strap top underneath and pair it with my knee-high flat leather lace up black boots. I braid my hair to the side so it can show off my top. I am waiting for Alex when my cell rings.
"Hello."
"Hi Ana."
"Oh Hi Carla. What do you want?"
"You do not have to be so rude Ana. Can I not just call to find out how you are doing?"
"No you never do. So let me repeat myself. What do you want?"
"Ok just hang on I have someone who wants to say hi." Before I can protest she has me on hold as Alex enters the room. What the hell is she up to?
Alex
I go out and Ana is on the phone. I am watching her then a single tear rolls down her cheek and I grab the phone from her and put it to my ear. When I realize it is Morton I grab my computer and record the conversation. This fucker is going down.
"Ana I asked you why the fuck are you not saying anything? I know you are there. Ok then have it your way but you better listen to me carefully. I tried to get your mother to help me get you back but she is not going to. She wants money I don't have. So I have decided to just come get you myself. You can do this the easy way and pack a bag and wait outside your fancy apartment or I can take you when you are least expecting it. I know everything about you so believe me when I say it wont be a hard task. See you soon baby."
"Fuck You Morton. You will never touch her again." And I hang up. I am fuming. I cant control it anymore and i fling her phone against the wall and it shatters into pieced. I hear the gasp and spin and find a very shocked Ana. She has never seen me this out of control.
Ana
Ok now I am really freaked out with Morton. He is so desperate to get to me. I can't believe he would try to go through Carla. The fact that she wanted money from him is not surprising. I don't even want to run in the morning. I get a shock seeing Alex so out of control.
"Alex are you ok?"
"I wont be ok until that fucker is off the streets Ana. Fuck Carla and her sceems. Is money so fucking important to her?"
"You know its always been like that with her. I should have just given her the money then she would have not talked to Morton."
"No, Ana you don't the right thing. I am sorry about your phone."
"Dont worry about it I have another one. Let me just find my sim card among the remained of my old phone then we can go." He nods and smiles at me and walks into the kitchen to get some water. I can tell its eating at him. I have calmed myself down enough to go to Christian. We are in the elevator and a message from Carla comes through. Shit they don't know when to stop.
Ana baby go downstairs to the Security man and you will find a special parcel from dad. Love you lots M
What the hell do I do about this? I hate this. We get to the penthouse and Christian is standing there with a smile on his face. I try to force one but he see's straight through me.
"Ana I tried to call you but I couldn't. What happened?" I don't even answer. Alex speaks up.
"He phone ended up on the office wall. Taylor can I use the computer in your office? We all follow him and Alex of course he is impressed with the setup. Only Christian Grey can impress a man that works in the pentagon. He plays the phone call back and I am so disgusted. Christian has me in his arms and I am shaking.
"Christian I am going home for a jacket."
"Come with me I will give you one of mine." We go into his bedroom and it is beautiful. Everything is so clean and white. There is a huge glass window looking out at the city. He digs in his huge walk in closet and pulls out a Harvard pullover and gives it to me to wear.
"Is this from school?" He gives me a shy smile.
"Yup my one year in Harvard. It's the smallest one I have."
"Its perfect thank you. Can I sit here a little and calm down?"
"Baby take as long as you like. I actually like you in my room. Do you know you are the first women that has ever been in here with me?"
"Are you serious?" He just nods a yes. I am stunned at this. We sit and chat for a while then I remember the message.
"Christian I will be back just now. I have to go somewhere."
"Ana were are you going?"
"Out."
"You do know after that phone call you received neither one of us will ever allow you OUT alone again."
"Yes I do but I am just going to fetch my mail from the front desk."
"Ana thats not going to happen if you are going alone. Are you expecting something?" I pass him my phone and he shakes his head.
"When were you planning on showing us this? You wanted to collect this alone?"
"No...Yes... I don't know what I wanted. I don't want to deal with any of this. I just want it all to go away. I am seriously thinking of moving to another city. Getting a job will be a piece of cake and I can get Alex to cover my tracks. They wont be able to find me."
"No...Ana you cannot be thinking of leaving me. I just found you baby."
"I don't know Christian. I said I was thinking."
"Well I do not like it so please don't think that. If I have to move you in with me to keep you safe I will do that." I raise my eyebrow at him and he laughs making me laugh and it feels so good. We both lay on our backs across the bed and carry on chatting and laughing. Christians bedroom door opens and we don't bother looking who is there because it's probably just Taylor.
