Christian's POV:

It was so nice running into Ana last night. I missed her so much. I hope she is able to look past my demons and be with me. Life has been so much better since I met her. I don't care for that Ethan character though, she is all mine and I am going to make sure of it.

I have an appointment with Flynn today. I'm going crazy over Ana and I need his insight to this situation. This is foreign territory for me. He's going to think I've gone mad!

"So, why did you want to see me today?"

"Well you know Anastasia Steele. I saw her last Friday when I was exiting your office and I knew she was special. There was something about her so I waited around and asked her out."

"So you followed my advice, but what's the problem with Ana?"

"Well our date was fantastic, but I knew I couldn't hide my past from her so I asked her to see me Sunday for brunch and again it was amazing. I was able to connect with her so well but when it came to telling her she understood because of her own demons which she has not shared yet, but you know all about that I guess."

"Christian, I am very aware of yours and Ana's issues but I am not seeing the problem."

"She said we should take a week to think about it. See if I can move past my issues and actually have a relationship and I am going out of my mind! All I can think about it her she is consuming my thoughts. This is all new to me I feel like I am on enemy territory."

"Christian, it seems like you have made a connection with her this is the first time you have had an emotional connection with anyone and that in itself is progress. You need to prove to Ana that you can do this have a normal relationship. I am going to be honest, I am not sure you are fully ready to give up your lifestyle and maybe you should do what you do with your submissive, make a set of soft and hard limits so you two can get a sense of each other. Your limits would be for relationships and hers would be for a dom and sub relationship." Now I feel stupid for not thinking about this.

"You are a genius, Flynn. I knew there was a reason I stuck with you."

"Its my job, Christian."

"Have a nice day, Flynn. Thank you." I stands up and shake his hand.

"Anytime, Christian. Like I said, it's my job."

I walk out of his office and what he said is circling around my head 'prove yourself'. How do I go about doing this how do you prove your commitment to someone? All night this question haunts me then I finally have an idea.

Ana's POV:

It's hump day today. Work was slow and I am so happy to be heading home. I am going to take a nice long bath, crack open a bottle of wine, order take out, and watch a movie.

I get home, and Kate is freaking out apparently she has a date tonight.

"I am going out with Elliot at seven I have no time to get ready."

"Don't be silly, Kate. You have a hour and a half I will help you." Apparently my bath will have to wait.

Kate is doing her hair and make-up as I try to pick out an outfit. "How about this?"

"Its cute but not for a first date." After pulling out almost everything in her closet and getting rejected, I have an idea. "Wait, I'll be right back."

I run into my room and grab the dress I bought with my first paycheck. It's a black lace dress with an asymmetrical neckline with a see thru mesh, back with an A line pleated skirt. If she says no to this, I am not helping out anymore.

"What about this little number?" I add a little wink

"Ahh! It's perfect you know me so well."

"Hurry up because he will be here any minute."

I watch her shimmy into her dress and while she's finishing up her make up I pick out a pair of shoes.

"Flats or heels?"

"Heels."

I pull out a pair of black suede platform pumps.

"Again perfect thank you, Ana."

"Anytime."

Someone rings the bell and I buzz them up it I presume its Elliot but to my surprise there is a man holding a long box.

"Are you Anastasia Steele?"

"Yes"

"These are for you."

"Thank you." I close the door and open the box, and Kate enters the kitchen.

Inside the box there are a dozen beautiful long stem roses. With a card that says 'You're the first girl I've sent flowers'.

"Oh my god, Ana! He is adorable." Yes and he is all mine!

"I know he is wonderful isn't he."

It's exactly 7:30 when the buzzer goes off again, this time it's Elliot.

"He's very punctual, isn't he?" We both have a good laugh about this then there's a knock at the door.

"Good evening, Kate." Elliot says in a charming voice I can see where Christian gets it from.

"It's so good to see you, Elliot. You ready?"

"Yes but I am told to give this to Ana." I was wonder what he was holding. He hands me a beautifully wrapped box.

"From Christian?" I give him a little smirk and he responds in a tone that would be suiting for an eighth grader trying to tell the girl he has a crush on how he feels.

"I dunno. Well me and Kate must be off."

"See you later, Annie."

"Bye Annie." He says in that same childlike tone.

"You two have fun!"

"Oh we will." Kate playfully hits Elliot and he gives with boyish chuckle.

I close the door and turn my attention to the beautifully wrapped present from my Christian. I carefully rip open the box and there is a box of chocolates and a card. 'I have never given a girl chocolates before.' Awe, he's really trying. That's all that matters right?

I grab a glass of wine and my box of chocolates and run myself a bath. Then there goes the buzzer again.

"Hello, who is it?"

"I have a delivery for an Anastasia Steele."

"Okay, I'll buzz you right up."

I hit the buzzer and quickly run into my room grab my robe and tie it tightly. When I hear the knock I open the door and see a young man holding a giant teddy bear.

"Anastasia Steele?"

"That's me."

"This is for you." He passes me this giant brown bear

"Thank you, have a nice night."

"You too, miss"

I am staring at this giant bear, thinking what do I do with this thing and I notice a small suede box in it's hand along with a card. 'You are the first person I've given flowers, the first woman I have given chocolates and the first woman I am giving a stuffed animal to. I also want you to be the first woman I give my heart.' I open the box and there is a beautiful heart shaped locket I open it up and it's engraved 'One of many firsts to come.'

I drag my teddy bear into my room and hop into the bath with my wine and chocolates. I am in a beautiful state of mind right now that I don't want to end. He is really making an effort so I better start. It's sometime around nine-thirty when I get out of the bath. I dry off with my towel and grab my fuzzy burgundy robe, crawl into bed with my new teddy bear and almost fall asleep instantly.
