Chp24 last weekend.
Jan 12 2am:
I stand watching the late night Seattle skyline. The party is over. The madness is gone. I watch a freighter head out to sea. Its lights cast eerie shadows in the weak moonlight. I used to play piano watching the night. Now, I cuddle my dreamcatcher, tight, as she sleeps. What a day it has been.
I watch Anna at the most manic. I have ever seen her. She is coming unglued. I want to help, but she won't hear of it. I watch as Gail and Kaylee try to calm her. The other guys have fled to Steve's new place below. Mary is flitting to and fro with flower arrangements. I'm stunned that the incredible confident, organized, level headed calm Anna is a mess over a Diner party for friends and Family.
Grace arrives early to help. I hug my mom. "Please get Anna to calm down. I don't understand what wrong" she kisses my cheek, "Oh my boy. This is her first dinner party in Escala." I shake my head. "We had people here all holiday, she's done company parties, a lot of Parties at Ray's?" "Christian, this is her first formal party as your fiancée, in your new home. This is a defining moment in her life. The transition from Girl to Woman. She wants to shine as a hostess." "I don't get, mom. She's been a perfect hostess all week." "o' Christian this is like your first at bat in baseball. You don't want to strike out. You want to hit it out of the park. Or at least get on base." I nod. I still don't get it but I know how important the night is to her. mom goes off to calm Anna. I escape to my office.
Later.
The party is in full swing. The house is perfect, the food. Gail is in her element has housekeeper. I tried to get her a Jason to comes a guest, but they refused. They prefer to work. I know Jason is pleased with the invite. Gail is smiling and chatting has she supervise to two waiters she hired. They're both high school seniors living in homeless shelters. They'll make enough money to buy a dress and go to prom, as I've paid for housing and school for both them and they're families. I haven't told Gail or Jason.
I find Anna gabbing with Mary and Steve. I drape my arm over her shoulder as she leans into me. I kiss her hair. Steve is talking about his new game. I smile. Anna gasp "Andrea how in the world did you get him in a SUIT, shaved and Haircut!" I look up seeing Andrea and her date approach, he looks familiar but I can't place him. "Andrea?" she smiles; I've seldom seen her smile. The ice princess is melting. "Steve, Mary this is Chris's PA Andrea and Barney IT genius at GEH" Stunned I gape at Barney, I've never seen him wear office attire. He shaves once a month. He grins at me.
He has his arm around her waist and she has hers around his. A Couple. WOW. "how did you guys hook up?" Barney laughs. "I made a bet with her, and she lost. So I, we went too Comic-con in St. Louis. In costume." Anna chirps "What did you guys go as?" Andrea blushes, I've never seen her blush. "the first day Dr. Who and Assistant, the second Star trek. Aan" "don't stop, what did you guys do the final day? come on I can look it up on your Facebook page." "Barney! You didn't post that." Andrea blurts turning even more red. "yea, Barney what did you guys go as?" I jump in.
"Star Wars." He blushes. "What characters in Star Wars?" Steve jumps in. They squirm. I love it. "I went as an Imperial Captain of a Battle Cruiser, love the dark side." We all laugh. "Andrea? Come on?" goads Anna. "Princess Leia" "Which one?" Steve smiles. I wish I knew more about the Movie. She really is squirming now. "I'll look it up online" pushes Anna. As Roz and Gwen join us.
She looks around, turning red. "Slave Princess Leia" the image flashes in my head. O'boy that's hot. I need to get Anna that costume for the next party. "Babe those picture better be gone, off the web by morning" Andrea loudly whispers to Barney. He laughs "No can do, Baby. The sites already had a million hits." "what, you shouldn't have." "you signed a release. An your smoking hot." He kisses her. "You should have asked, Barney?" "Beside I want the world to know my GIRL'S hot." He grins "OUCH!" he jumps off the ground, grabbing his ass. Andrea looks like ice cream won't melt in her mouth. We laugh.
"OUCH!" I jump a foot. Spin "ANNA!" she giggles, as everyone laughs. "OUCH!" Steve jumps as Mary looks innocent as a Lamb. Failing miserable as she breaks down in Laughter. "Serves you men right, picking on "OUCH!" (Roz bounce a good foot) GWEEN!" We all laugh and Joke as Elliot and Kate come over.
"Hey what going on?" Elliot says. Arm draped over Kates shoulder possessively. Anna with mischief in her eyes. "Where playing Spouse hop. Highest hop wins." I see the light bulb go off in Kates eyes. As "OUCH!" "KATES?" we laugh, "That not funny." Says the family prankster. He turns to us "that not funny. That hur_ "OUCH" KATE!" we laugh harder, the Adults across the room are laughing too. "You guys are hilarious!" "OUCH!" "KATE stop it." He grabs her hands. Looking into her eyes. "OUCH!" "Damn it Roz!" he backs away from us. Protecting his backside.
Suddenly a round of ass grabs run thru the group. I try tit-for tat with Anna. I quickly find it a bad strategy; I try ass massage. YES. She coos into me. Steve quickly catches on. Roz tries kissing. As Elliot jumps several more times before parking against a wall. Kate is merciless. Turning from Ass to tickling. Elliot is extremely tickles'. We laugh. As he rolls on the floor, till kissing overcomes them. "HEY! Get a room you too." They get up, bow and run upstairs. We descent into full blown hysteria. The adults are trying to look Adult, but fail as they laugh even louder than us. I see Ray's hand on Kaylee ass. They must have played the game as kids. My dad winks at me. I see mom lean into him, I bet his hand is on her ass. The one thing we knew as kids: from the first day in the Grey's. That mom and dad had a very active, a loving sex life. I kiss Anna neck. The party is a success.
XXXXXXX
After the party everyone leaves. Ray, Kaylee and Ben to Montesano. Elliot and Kate to a road trip around the Peninsula. Parents, Grandparent, Steve and Mary to their homes. Final I have Anna to myself. I work a few hours every day and spend the rest with Anna. If I go into the office. She comes with me and Helps Andrea out. I marvel at her ability to interact with people. I should get her to go on more negotiations, she's a natural.

The last weekend before she goes back to school. I plan a trip. I know she'll love. I get her up before dawn. Bundle my sleeping beauty up. Carry her to the car then the plane. I love the new plane. After takeoff I carry her to the bed in back.
As I lay her down she wraps her legs and arms around me. pulling me down. To sweet lips. I open my eyes to a sea on blue. "Love me." she whispers. Quickly cloths are flying. I ravage her body. Kissing her sweet sex. Driving into her with hard, long strokes. Till we explode in mutual ecstasy.
"you're now a member of the mile-high club." I smirk into her hair. "I'm not so sure?" I love a challenge as I slowly stroke her sex, nibbling on her neck. Caressing her breast. Till she screams "Fuck me, Fuck me. NOW!" I roll her over so she faces down. Slides into her wet, hot sex. I slam hard. Again and again till she screaming my name. I pick her up putting her against the open window. Stroking into her hard. I see her face in the reflection of the window. Pure bliss as she comes and comes. I try to hold out, but fail in a massive orgasm. I stagger us back to the bed. falling on to the soft mattress. We struggle to breath from the orgasm. I caress her hair; as she fist's me dry. She smiles as I moan loudly.
I stare at the window. The round smudges leave little to imagination. She snores into my chest, soft, lite. The speaker blares "We're 30 minutes out Mr. Grey" I shake Anna awake. We clean up and dress. Taking our seats. Anna looks out the window, turning she bouncing in her seat. "San Francisco, your taking me to San Francisco!" I smirk. "YEP, we have tickets tonight for Taming of the Shrew." I didn't think she could get more excited, I was wrong. She bounces and giggling and stroking my face, chest body. She is contagious. As I join in her fun. "MR. GREY, MISS STEELE, we are ready to deplane." Says Parker. Taylor was mad I left him home. But I felt I owed him for the bust holiday, I know Gail is dragging him to a Romantic B&B near Forks.
We check into the St. Francis. I had planned on some bed time, maybe a nap afterwards. Nope, Anna drags me back to the cars. Taylor has arranged four CPO, Two drivers, and Two armored town cars, both with privacy screens. "Where to MY LADY" with a flourish and bow. She giggles. "To the Buffalo." The drive nods and off we go. Buffalo? Either the Zoo or a statue, as we go deeper into the city I suspect a statue.
I see we've enter a big park, Golden Gate Park. The fog has not lifted very much. It's not yet 8am.
Parking along a chain-link fence. Anna drags me out. Pointing I see a herd of Bison. In the middle of the city, mind blowing. Anna positions me for a picture. I remember her letter from years ago. I smile broadly as she snaps several pics.
"Where to now?" She looks mischievous. "I think you need some culture." She whispers into the driver ear. "I'm not sure where that at?" he replies. "Over near the Science Hall." He nods. We board the cars and drive to a large amphitheater flanked by two buildings. The local CPO, Ryan, points out one as the De-young and other as the Academy of Science. We walk towards the Science; Anna ask a security guard who point around the building.
We arrive at a small garden. Anna twirls around me. "Close your eyes, come on close them" I close my eyes. She touches my face with featherlike caress. She whispers
"As an unperfect actor on the stage,
Who with his fear is put besides his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart;
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharg'd with burden of mine own love's might.
O let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love and look for recompense
More than that tongue that more hath more express'd.
O, learn to read what silent love hath writ:
To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit."(1)
She kissing me. I open my eyes to a prefect view of love. She stands on tip toes. Just are lips touch. Her eyes wide and deep. I relish the moment. As the time passes she step down breaking the kiss. Without losing the aura of love given and received. "Welcome to Shakespeare Garden" I take her in my arms and kiss her. she melts into me. softly into her ear.
"Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soul
Of the wide world dreaming on things to come,
Can yet the lease of my true love control,
Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom.
The mortal moon hath her eclipse endured,
And the sad augurs mock their own presage;
Incertainties now crown themselves assured,
And peace proclaims olives of endless age.
Now with the drops of this most balmy time,
My love looks fresh, and Death to me subscribes,
Since, spite of him, I'll live in this poor rhyme,"(2)
We stand as one for longtime. Just feeling. "What now, m'lady fair?" She giggles, "O kind Sir. To carousel we walk, take my hand. I will lead you astray, down dark paths and evil lanes to ruin and pain, Kind Sir, today. Let me lead you astray" smirking mischievously. We walk thru the park to a playground. She bummed the carousel is closed. I have a quiet word with Ryan the local CPO.
"Chris push me." I look Anna's on a swing. I walk over. "Chris push me." I start to push her, she reaches higher and higher. Leaning back, her braid sweeps the sand. She locks eyes with me as laughter echo the field. She is childlike. Perfect combination of Woman and Girl. How did I get so lucky? I laugh with her. as she plays my Muse. She sits up dragging her feet; I grab the swing. She bolts for the push-wheel, the human powered carousel. She put the wheel between us. As I try to get to her she moves, playing the game I spin the wheel, she hops on. Laughing I hop on and claim her. kissing as we spin. The world cannot catch up to how much this little woman spins and shakes my world, with just a kiss, a touch, a word.
