Chapter 5
The next day Christian comes in and gives me a kiss on the lips, "good morning Ana".
"Hi Christian" I respond.
"Come with me", I have something that I want to show you he says.
I hop up and follow him to his office, "have a look at these Ana tell me what you think" he says showing me pictures of a lovely looking house. "If you like these pictures we can go and have a view of the house later on this afternoon. (For interests sake we will say the house is the one that they purchase on the sound).
"It looks lovely Christian" I respond
"Good" he says "we will be going this afternoon for a look" Come as he takes my hand.
Later that day we pull up at the house on the sound, its lovelier then the pictures showed. "I thought about tearing it down and we can build whatever we like" he says to me as we look around.
"I like the house as it is, it just needs a bit of TLC" I reply.
"Ok" he says I've called Elliot and the builders and they will be around shortly and we will see what we can work out, and Ana im going to allow you to help on the site, paint some walls and do the decorations, what do you think"?
OMG! I say to myself is he serious I'm actually aloud out of the house.
"Ana did you hear me"? he snaps
"Yes Christian I heard you, I guess I just couldn't believe that you would let me go somewhere".
"Don't push your luck" he responded crankily, Elliot and the other builders will be around as well as security and I trust that they will keep you safe.
Oh if only you know how well Elliot will keep me safe, but I better keep that thought to myself I thought.
Just then Elliot and some of his crew turned up, "hey Ana'' he comes over and tries to give me a hug. Christian just growls at him, I roll my eyes, if only he knew how close we had really gotten. I need to get these thoughts out of my head though, I need to try and move forward, this new house is my way forward and will hopefully keep me busy. Little did Christian know that this project would push me straight into Elliot's arms.
Time gap
Over the next month or so everything is very busy, I've been helping around our new house, meeting with Grace to organise things for the wedding, apparently Christian wants to get married soon, not sure what the rush is, but hopefully in doing this he may finally settle down and be mine. He has been on a couple business trips in the month, I don't bother asking him about them as no doubt he's hooking up with other woman.
Elliot and I have become really close since we have been working together, sharing our thoughts and feelings. We haven't slept together again but have shared hugs and kisses. I can really see why Elliot is such a great catch he is a lovely soul, he may have slept with half of the city, but I can't hold that against him he's definitely a good catch, funny, good looking, charming and will always have your back. I often wondered why I couldn't love him the way I love Christian, I certainly have feelings for Elliot but is it love, should I be with Elliot who I care a great deal about and who will look after me, or shall I stay with Christian, who I love with all my heart and will marry soon. This is will be the wedding of my dreams, but am I marrying the right person?
