Sorry for the last post floods and power outages got in the way.
Ana's POV:
I wake up around three o'clock with a massive head ache and Christian isn't by my side, I slip on my jeans and go search for him. It doesn't wake me long to find him I just follow the beautiful music from the piano Christian hasn't noticed me yet so I just sit and watch him he's so beautiful.
I am sitting here in tears and my subconscious and inner goddess are huddle together with a box of tissues.
When he stops playing he gets up and sees me sitting there crying "Ana are you ok? Whats wrong?" His voice is filled with concern.
"It's nothing Christian the piece you were playing was beautiful yet sad it just touched me." He wraps his arm around me, hugging me close. "What was the piece called?" He looks into my eyes kisses me temple and says "It's hard to say goodbye by Michael Ortega"
"Well its beautiful Christian. Why were you down here and not in bed I was worried."
"I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to worry you I couldn't sleep."
"There no need to apologize Christian come back to bed." He gives me a soft kiss on the lips and carries me up stairs and I fall asleep quickly with his are wrapped around me his front to my back.
Christian's POV:
I wake up well rested from a deep sleep it doesn't matter that I fell asleep late what matters is I slept soundly through the night I can't remember the last time that happened before Ana came along. She is so beautiful when she's sleeping all walls she's built up to protect herself are taken down and she's at peace. That reminds me I need to ask her if she want's to go to Flynn's with me on Friday, I hope she says yes I really want things to work out between us but I need to share by past to have a future with her.
My alarm goes off I silence it after the first ring I decide it be best to take a shower before waking Ana she drank too much last night and really needs her rest.
While I'm in the shower I think about how much my life has turned around since Ana entered it she is the polar opposite of me she has a heart of gold and touches everyone who enters her life and mine is black as coal. I will never understand until the day I die why she picked me why I'm different.
Ana's POV:
I wake up feeling a little better I notice Christian isn't here I wonder if he got any sleep. I notice there is two more Advil pills and a glass of orange juice beside the bed I take the pill and gulp down the juice as I'm about to get up to get ready for my day Christian walks out of the washroom with nothing but a towel on my inner goddess perks up from her slumber with her jaw on the floor. Oh my god he is beautiful I will never understand till the day I die why he picked me why am I so special? He resembles Adonis the Greek god of beauty and desire, that is Christian Grey.
"Do you like what you see?" He quirks an eyebrow at me which make me blush furiously.
"How could I not Adonis?" Shit did I just say that?
"Adonis hmm..." he walks towards me his eyes never leaving mine and in a quick embrace he kisses me his tongue invading my mouth as I run my hands through his hair. The kiss leaves us both breathless and he whispers in my ear "If I'm Adonis then you must be Aphrodite" Ahh this man is going to be the death of me I swear. He quickly readjusts himself and says "There's a bag in the washroom with clothes a new set of undergarments and some stuff girls might use in the morning. To be honest I don't understand half the shit you girls do to make yourself put together the more natural the better." He is perfect isn't he? "Thank you but how did you get these things?"
"I asked Taylor to run and grab somethings" I chuckle at the thought of Taylor in a store buying ladies panties.
"Get dressed and be down stairs in twenty."He has his stern CEO face on.
"Okay boss man" His eyes widen in shock and I figure its best to just in into the washroom. I take a quick five-minute shower not washing my hair and the rummage through the goodie bag for my clothing.
I find the bra and underwear first just simple nude lace bra and thong I quickly slip them on and reach for the dress and shoes I am standing there in shock staring at the most beautiful outfit I have every seen the shoes are Giuseppe Zanotti Colorblock Suede Platform Pumps that are teal, yellow and black with a Clover Canyon Mix-Print Neoprene Dress I slip them on and instantly feel great about myself I look hot! I find some make-up and apply some liner on my lid a pale lipstick and some mascara and finally decide to put my hair into an artfully arranged messy bun. I look hot but professional I hate gifts but this one I'm glad to take.
My twenty minutes are just about so I grab my clutch and keys and throw my clothes from yesterday in the shopping bag from my new clothes. I walk into the kitchen but Christian is nowhere to be seen. Gail startles me when she asks "What would you like for breakfast Miss. Steele?" Ugh I hate that.
"First of all Call me Ana."
"Umm.. Mr. Grey wouldn't like that."
"Well I will answer to Mr. Grey call me Ana." She looks awkward for a moment then I hear Christian's baritone voice.
"Ana I am a very professional man all of my staff have been instructed to refer to people as such." Before he finishes speaking I cut him off.
"Well I am not you Christian I understand needing your staff to be professional but it makes me very uncomfortable."
"Anastasia this is the end of this discussion what would you like for breakfast."
"I regret to inform you Mr. Grey that this conversation is not over. You cannot dictate what people call me I understand you want to be professional and all but I don't. I don't want anything for breakfast not here at least goodbye call me when you want to treat me like an equal in this relationship." With that I storm out the door and wait for the elevator Christian follows me out begging me to stay but I decide it's the best to let him think because he really needs to learn I'm not on of his submissives and he can't treat me like one. I jump in Wanda and notice I forgot to give him the diary pages whatever it's for the best I guess. I blast music in the car on my way to work since I skipped breakfast I decide to grab English breakfast tea and a blueberry muffin.
Once I sit down at my new desk I quickly check my phone for any messages none wow I thought Christian would at least text me but nothing. I guess he can't handle not always being in control hmm I need to distract myself with work I'm happy this new job it keeps me so busy. I dive right into work reviewing this wonderful manuscript about a girl who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and doesn't want anyone to know having to face all of these challenges all by herself. Her only coping mechanism was self-harm this really hits close to home I think this could be a best seller. I make my notes about some changes but as an auto-biography theirs not much to change but some grammar problems.
I knock on Jacks door "Come in!" He's such a friendly man but there is something off about him but you can't judge a book by its cover. "Hey Jack I want to talk to you about the manuscript 'In the dark with my demons'"
"Oh excellent you're a hard worker I'm glad I suggested you for this promotion." I blush a deep shade of pink.
"Thank you" I give a little smile "I think this could be the next best auto-biography she's an amazing writer just need some tweaking. Here are my notes tell me what you think."
"Thank you Ana."
"I'm going to get lunch Jack do you want something?"
"No Ana have some lunch take a break you've done some excellent work today." I nod my head and walk out of his office grab my phone and purse and go to this cute deli two blocks away and order a chicken caesar wrap with a salad on the side. I sit down at a booth in the corner and pick up a newspaper and I am stunned with what I see 'The most eligible bachelor in Seattle taken?' there is a picture of me and Christian at Jose's event I guess since he's never had a girlfriend before this is huge news. Maybe this is why he hasn't messaged me he's mad about the article. Everything will be fine I repeat this mantra in my head I need to control my anxiety because the last thing I want is to go back into old habits, I don't know if I can fight them off this time. Forty-five minutes later I head back into the office and check my emails.

Jack Hyde's POV:
Ana is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen I wanted her to be mine but apparently she's taken by the infamous Christian Grey, the first time he's seen with a woman she's mine. He is going down then I'm going to take what should be mine. Christian Grey will never know what it him.
