CHAPTER FOUR: ARGUMENTS,DECISIONS, DATES AND GOODBYES . Part one.

"Phone, keys, wallet." Ana murmured as she was putting on her gym shoes. Then she picked up her gym bag and left her apartment. She locked the door , walked downstairs and placed her hair in a ponytail.

But as she stepped out, a surprise was waiting for her. A black limo was waiting out in front of her house.

Nobody in her building had a reason to be driving in this. Her neighbors were old women who had lived here from their childhood. She got her apartment after one of them had died, as Ana had been told.

Renting in New York was good for her. She loved her neighborhood and the daughter of the previous tennant did not care about the apartment.

Maybe the car just had stopped here? It was a free parking space.

Yes, that had to be it.

She walked down the stairs and started walking towards the gym, but then the car started moving and stopped as it had reached her.

Ana stopped and turned towards the open limo window. There he was... Christian Grey.

"Ready for our date?" he asked her.

"What date?" Ana asked slightly confused.

"The date I told you about in the card." he replied back.

"You told me to call you, Mr. Grey." Ana said.

"And I said I wanted to see you." he said with a smirk.

She couldn't believe his arrogance.

"But I would have called you if I wanted the same." she said give him a fake smile.

"Anastasia, is there something wrong?" he asked confused at what she just said.

She should tell him what is bothering her - His attitude, his arrogance. She would have called him if she had not known he had slept with someone last night. If he wanted her, then why did he leave with another girl?

"Look, Mr. Grey, I will make this quick. I know your reputation and I don't need nor want a one night-stand. Go straight, there is a bar that is full of women who would match your needs, not me." Ana said and started to walk away. She tried to act as if she did not care about him. But at the same time, she was curious to see if he would go away to search for a new woman to take to bed.

And the next time she looked back, the limo was gone. Unfortunately her thoughts about Christian would not go away.

She played music on her iPod as she excercised hoping it would distract her, but she still kept thinking about him.

That was one of her problems, she always overanalyzed her life. Even after breaking up with some men with whom she knew she would had no future with, she thought about them. She thought about their future and who they would end up with.

Ana's thoughts drifted back to Christian. Ana wondered if he would run into Marge - a woman who just wanted to feel wanted and she would leave the place with almost any man.

Ana called the bar, "The Get Drunk Place." It was just a few minutes away from her apartment and was open into the early mornings. It was nothing glamorous, but the drinks were cheap and the bartender would listen to everything people would tell him.

Ana would always go to that bar after breaking up with someone or when she wanted to forget her problems. Marge went to flirt with the guys. To men it was the perfect place to pick up girls. Cheap drinks, young girls, mostly like Marge - naïve and willing to go home with any guy.

Ana did not fit in the place and she did not even like it. But when she did not want to be alone and wanted to get drunk, it was a perfect place to forget everything.

Before, she was one of these girls who would wake up with stranger in a bed. But she soon realized that one night stands were not for her. Breaking up after first sex, that was something different. She had to know the person at least a little to sleep with them.

Though she knew a bit about Christian, she would not be like the women he knew who was willing to do anything to get his attention. She did not need him because of his money. She needed and wanted a man who was nice, caring, funny and who was boyfriend material.

After she finished her workout, she thought about her plans for the rest of the evening – writing. She could finally express her experience of how rich men flirt with woman.

But as she got closer to her home, she saw the black limo once again. Had he not found anyone yet?

She completely ignored limo as she quickly ran up the stairs and into her apartment.

And as she got closer to her apartment, she was surprised to see flowers by her door.

She found a note and it read I will wait for you... Christian

"Idiot!" She cursed and took the bouquet of roses.

She did not know the reason why she did not like him, but there was something about him. Though Ana found him attractive, no that is a lie - Ana thought he was a god when it comes to how good a man can look, there were some more important things than man's appearance..

She walked back out onto the street and straight for his car. She knocked on the tainted window and when he opened it, she threw him the flowers.

"I am not the girl to be bought with flowers. No is no." she said angrily.

"Anastasia, please." He opened the door and when he came out, Ana could not believe her eyes. He was dressed in a tailored gray designer suit. He looked breathtaking.

But his charms would not work on her tonight. Or any other night.

"Look, if you wanted to see me, you could have came up to me yesterday and asked me. I was there, available. Tonight I am busy." she said making it clear that she had no intention of seeing him.

"Yesterday I was busy. When are you free then?" he replied back and Ana wanted to laugh.

"I'm not sure you understand, I am not going out with you." she said squaring her shoulders.

"Anastasia..." Christian said before Ana interuppted him.

"Ana. People call me Ana." It felt weird when he called her Anastasia it sounded... intimate.

"Anastasia, I am sorry that I did not finish our conversation yesterday. I had some important business to take care of. And if because of that I am losing my chance to meet the most beautiful yet stubborn woman I have ever met, then I do not know what to say. Are you angry at me for something?" Christian asked.

"I am not angry at you because I have no reason to be. You are entitled to do whatever you want, whenever you want, with whoever you want. But I see no reason to go on a date with you." Ana replied back.

"Why won't you go out with me?" Christian asked almost hurt.

"Because..." Ana thought that him spending the night with a different woman was not a valid reason. "Because I have heard of your reputation. And I am not interested." she said and stared straight at him.

"Well, since I spent the whole night reading your articles, is your reputation any better?" Christian cocked his head to the side.

"I date guys and they turn out to be nothing more then a few dates. Your reputation says you sleep with girls for one night stands." said Ana trying to defend herself.

"Point made Anastasia. But rarely are there women who I am crazy about. And I am asking you on a date, not to take you to bed." Christian said seductively and smirked.

Ana smiled, not knowing what to say. Were they really having this conversation? Why was he so desperate to take her on a date? And when did he read her articles or even have time to read them?

"Ana, you were okay talking to me yesterday. You even flirted back."

"I did. But then a friend of mine told me to look at a few pictures of you last night."

"And what did you see?" Christian asked, folding his hands as he leaned against the shiny car.

He looked extremely handsome that Ana suddenly realized how she must have looked. Sweaty, dressed in gray yoga pants and a tank top. She did not look as good as she had looked yesterday.

But there he was – trying to persuade her to go to a date with him.

"Liza, my friend, showed me pictures of you leaving the event yesterday with another woman. Truth to be told, I felt a bit hurt. I thought you were better than that. Good thing I saw the pictures." Christian laughed and Ana stared at him confused.

"Tell your friend that my sister who appears to also be in New York, got extremely drunk and her best friend came to me and made me go to her hotel to stop her from drinking over a recent break up. That girl you saw me leave with is not even my type" He said in between laughs.

"Oh..." Ana suddenly felt happy and blushed. She felt stupid.

"My type of woman have something in them. Eyes for me to look in and not at her fake breasts. Cheeks that change their colour when they blush and look naturally pretty without makeup. "

Ana tried to look away as he said it because she just had started to smile.

"Lips that are full and kissable but are also made for the most beautiful smile.." He said and stared at Ana's beautiful face.

Ana started to laugh.

"Where did you learn this?"

"Nowhere. You inspired me."

"Look, Christian. I'm sorry I misjudged you, but it still is a bit awkward, you know? New York's full of wonderful women. Go out and you will meet one." Ana said trying to convince Christian.

"Why meet another when I have already met one I like?" he said with a smirk.

"It is getting late and I should go in. Good luck." Ana said, slowly walking back to her apartment. Oh, how much she wanted to turn back and say that she would be ready in a few minutes.

"I leave in the early morning. I am probably a fool, but I will be waiting for you." he said with pleading eyes.

But Ana didn't say anything nor did she turn around as she went through the front door. She just smiled.

And as she got in her apartment, she immediately went to the bathroom. She stepped out of her workout clothes and got in the shower. She washed her body and hair.

She knew she shouldn't be doing this after her stupid behavior , but on the other hand...
