Christian

Alex, Elliot and I had managed to get a shit load of stuff for Ana and then the call from Luke came through. I had no time to waist, so I told my personal shopper to have it all delivered immediately to my mom's house. I will sort it out from there. On the way to our apartment I can see Taylor is distracted.

"Taylor is there something wrong?"

"Yes, but I will brief you when we are at the penthouse." I know that can only mean he does not want to talk in front of Elliot and Alex.

"Taylor talk I don't care what it is."

"Well sir. Ana ran into Elena at her hair appointment and to make things even worse Elena was with 5 of your ex's. Ana approached them and made her claim on you and made it very clear that she knows were they stand in your life. It also seem like Elena has an underage Sub by the name of Jody sir." Fuck this is all I need now. If these women think they can intermediate Ana they have another thing coming. I am going to fucking destroy them one by one if they go anywhere near her again.

"Taylor sort it out."

"Done sir." I nod at him and he understands what I am saying. We pull into the garage and I am stunned to see Luke standing next to the closed up SUV with just his formal pants on. What the fuck is going on?

"Luke were the fuck is Ana?" He looks everywhere but at me and I almost laugh. This shit is just not real.

"In the car sir. She refuses to get out and won't let me near her. So I stepped out to give her some space." Elliot and Alex both look at each other then head upstairs. I can tell they are concerned but I need to sort this out. I nod an understanding and slide into the back seat with Ana. She looks so fucking sexy in that shirt but I hate that it is Luke's. She should only be wearing my shirts.

"Ana baby I am here for you." She looks up at me and a vey sexy smile crosses her ace. What the hell?

"Christian I am fine." She giggles at me.

"So why the hell are you sitting in the car almost naked? You gave me a fucking heart attack."

"I am sorry. I told you I am feeling better on the phone. I just needed to get that smell off me. I can't get out in just this especially with Luke here." I can't help it and I start to laugh. All this because she is embarrassed to get out in his shirt.

"Christian this is not funny."

"Ana do you realize your Gym outfit is 10 time more revealing than you wearing this shirt? Do you also realize you stripped in the lift and Luke was there?" She blushes red and she could not look more adorable.

"Yes, but the difference is this is another mans shirt and when I stripped in the lift all I could think of was the smell of the wine."

"Point well made Ms. Steele." I texted Taylor to bring Ana a pair of sweats pants. After Ana changes we made our way up to the apartment. I laugh at her when she refuses to look at Luke. I didn't mind when Ana decided to rest a little. I still had arrangements to sort out. While she is relaxing I call mum to explain the situation today and she is now feeling so bad. That was the last thing I wanted to do.

"Sir"

"Taylor what is it?"

"Do you realize we have to leave in an hours time?" Fuck is that the time already?

"Thank you Taylor I will brief you all in 45 minutes in the foyer."

"Done sir and all the pre-checks are completed at the venue to." I get in the shower and when I come out refreshed she is sitting on her dresser applying her creams. It takes me 5 minutes to dress in my black suit with a silver tie. I step out to brief the guys and to let Ana get dressed. She is being so fucking strong and brave with everything that has been going on. Alex and her chatted a little and when he left I knew he was satisfied that she is ok. Tonight I will give her the time of her life.

I have just gotten off the phone with Christian and I am feeling so bad with what happened with Ana at the restaurant. Why in the world did they not tell me a thing like that. I would have never ordered that wine.

"Mom was that Christian?"

"Yes, Mia he called to say Ana is ok now."

"What was the problem mom?"

"Well, you know how Christian cant be touched and that is a trigger for him?" She nods her understanding to me but still looks confused.

"Yes but what has that got to do with Ana?"

"Well Mia. When Ana was little she also went through some awful things and the smell of Alcohol is a trigger for Ana."

"Oh that's terrible mom. I didn't know or I would have never asked for wine."

"I know Mia neither would I."

"Mom why don't you get the caters to bring in a few bottles of non alcoholic beverages for our table that way Ana will be more comfortable. I would hate for her to go through that torture again."

"Mia you are brilliant. I didn't even think of that. I will sort it out right away." I feel so bad for what Ana went through but by us doing this for her it will make up for my short fall at the restaurant.

Taylor

Everything is in order for the evening and we are waiting on the boss to be briefed. I luckily managed to get hold of the surveillance footage from the elevator at the restaurant so there will be no footage of the future Mrs. Grey stripping in front of her body guard even if his back was turned. That would have been a whole new scandal on its own as for the subs well they have gotten their final warning so we will see were that goes. Elena is not going to manipulate this situation. Ana is the best thing that has ever happened to the boss and I will do everything in my power o keep them safe and together.

We did find out the car that Morton was driving belonged to Elena but the smart bitch had reported it stolen that very day. She covered her tracks up this time but will soon slip up. We know it was a lie but there is no way to prove it. Until the boss reveals his past relationship with her she will always have a hold on him which is so fucked up.

Ana's bike is a complete right off and it will be delivered to Escala when the investigation is over. I know that is going to kill her but there is nothing that can be done with it. Luckily no one else was hurt in that accident. The other driver was a bit rattled but ok. She was taken to the ER as a precaution but was released the same day. I did go in and settle all her medical bills. I have already made arrangements for her car to be replaced at the boss's expense and the boss insisted we upgrade it to an Audi as it's a safer car.

The boss wont be allowing his little lady on a bike for a very long time if ever. When we saw her laying there we all thought the worst. How she came out without an injury is a miracle on its own. I heard her screams last night and couldn't go back to sleep after that. The sounds of her haunted dreams were terrible. I thought the boss had it bad but Ana proved me wrong. How the fuck she can be so strong about all this is beyond me. I have seeing grown men crack over a lot less than she has been through. I just can't wait for Sophie to come for the holidays. Her and Ana are so close. I know it is going to help Ana take her mind off everything. A few girls days out and all will be ok.

Ana insisted on collecting Sophie from her mother on Friday which i guess i am ok with. The boss and I have a very important meeting to attend so it works out ok. If only Sophie's mother was not such a bitch. Why the hell she insists on keeping my little girl from me is a mystery.
