Sorry guys this is really short and I know I promised I'd post Thursdays and Mondays but my computer broke. I wrote this really fast so I apologize I just wanted to get something up quick.


Christian's POV:

I know she wants to talk and I know I don't know a lot about relationships but according to Elliot saying 'we need to talk is never a good thing' yeah she's going to dump your over controlling ass my subconscious says to me while laughing well she's stayed longer then I've expected. What am I going to tell my mom tomorrow? She is expecting me to bring Ana to the gala.

Calm down she's not going to dump you I don't think the reasonable less hateful part of my mind tells me. "So Ana where shall we talk?"

"Living room would be best somewhere comfortable." she responds confidently I love that about her she always seems to sure of things. We walk hand in hand to the white leather couch this is a good sign right?


Ana's POV:

Once were seated on the couch I jump right into it no small talk. "So do you know why we need to talk."

"I could guess." Fuck he's always so sure of himself he's so intimidating I need a drink. I get up from my seat and grab the rum and pour myself and Christian a generous glass and hand one to him.

"Thank you." I see Christian move around in his place. The Christian Grey nervous well I never thought I'd see the day.

"So can you tell me why you hired Luke?" He looks a little taken back by me calling him by his first name.

"I hired Sawyer" He says putting emphasis on his last name. "To protect you now that everyone knows we are together people may come after you and it would kill me if someone hurt you because of me." That actually makes a lot of sense why the fuck didn't I think of that.

"Well I call him Luke" I say putting emphasis on his name mimicking his tone. "because I've known him since I was a kid. I understand why you hired him but I don't understand why you didn't feel the need to tell me. Communication is vital in a relationship and in this case it could have prevented me to freak out and give my family friend a fucking black eye." Wow Steele tone it back a bit we don't need to rile him up.

"Wait you know him? Well that won't do. TAYLOR." Christian screams oh no you don't you are not going to fire him for your fucking mistake. I don't care that Taylor has not entered the room Christian is not firing him.

"Oh not you don't" I almost scream at him. "You are not firing him for your mistake. If you had talked to me before hand we could have made this decision together but since you've already picked him he is staying."

"No Ana this is non-negotiable he works for me I get to make these decisions."

"Fine then here are the keys to the Audi it was nice knowing you." I stand up and am about to walk away when I feel him tug at my arm.

"You'd really leave?" His voice is so broken.

"Yes Christian because other people don't need to pay the price for your mistakes." Liquid courage eh?

"Fine he can keep his job." I don't respond I just sit back down while he sends Taylor away again.

"So Christian can you promise to talk to me before you make these kind of decisions?"

"Yes." Okay good this is going better than I expected.

"Our next order of business is you buying SIP you do understand how crazy that is right?" He just looks at me confused as if he thinks this kind of behaviour is normal. Before he can respond I speak up because I can already tell I'm not going to like the answer. "Let me answer for you it is full on bat-shit-crazy Christian. Why did you do it?"I can tell he found some humour in my bat-shit-crazy comment because he is trying and failing to hide a snicker behind his glass. I give him by best don't fuck with me smile and it shuts him right up.

"I already told you I've looked into publishing for a while now you can ask Ros if you don't believe me." He says confident as ever.

"Yes but was it always your plan to buy SIP." I seriously doubt it.

"No it wasn't when you told me you worked there our plans changed a little. I just want to keep you safe Anastasia."

"Christian buying the company I work for Isn't keeping me safe it controlling me you really need to talk to Flynn on this one because you are clearly confused."

"You're right Anastasia I am sorry I am still trying to figure out this relationship thing." He says with a slight smile.

"Well Christian I can tell you this buying your girlfriends place of work isn't normal and apology accepted. Please just talk to me from now on do you think you can manage that?"

"I can try."

"That's all I ask." And with that he swoops me into his arms and kisses me. "Now my lady it's time for bed we have a busy day tomorrow."

"Busy day?" I tilt my head so I look like a confused puppy dog.

"Yes tomorrow it the Gala at my parents house." Oh shit I forgot.

"Fuck I don't have a dress." I start squirming in his arms as he carries me into the bedroom.

"Don't worry I've bought one it is hanging in the closet no peeking until tomorrow." he winks as he throws me on the bed.

"Fine but Christian don't get your hopes up were not having sex tonight. This is another lesson in relationships being put in the dog house when you've done something wrong." His face drops into a sulk ugh he is so adorable I love it.

"Fine can we at least cuddle?" He asks while climbing under the covers with me.

"Of course." Within a matter of seconds I am wrapped in Christians arms and there is no place I'd rather be.


Again I'm sorry I'll post soon.
