Anastasia's POV:

Mia convinced Christian to the throw a New Year's party at Escala. Right now, I'm helping her set up for it. I'm rather frustrated to be honest. Her theme is gold and silver. We have to place arrangements of clear balloons with glitter confetti inside. Mia says each guest will get one before midnight and pop the balloon when we enter the New Year. All of the glasses and champagne flutes are rimmed with glitter. Once all that is set up to Mia's standards, she pulls out caramel apples with edible glitter laced on top. Next I help her hand up gold tinsel around the room and hang up signs that say 'Happy New Year' in gold glitter. Once everything is perfect, we head up stairs to get changed. Earlier in the day Kate, Mia, and I got our hair and nails done. I slip on my lace open back maxi dress and gold shoes. Christian has run down to the lobby to give the concierge the guest list. I don't see why Taylor or Sawyer couldn't have gone.

I head into the bathroom and do my make-up. I recently fell in love with this lipstick colour Berry Cherry so I do that and a dark smokey eye. I also decide to put on fake eyelashes to add to the effect. We head down stairs and see Christian is already dressed talking to Elliot who turns their attention to us. Christian's eyes widen and mouth falls slightly open. I bite my lip and walk right up to him. He is dressed in a white dress shirt, black dress pants, black shoes, and a silver evening jacket paired with a bow tie.

"Hey" I say looking up at him.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you." I say as he wraps his arm around me. "I like this dress. It has an open back so I can touch your perfect pale skin." Mia gives us this look of disgust that makes me laugh. Christian's grandparents are the first to arrive and they give us all a hug.

"Ana darling, how are you?" Mrs Trevelyan says.

"I'm great, how about you and Mr Trevelyan?"

"We're great." She says with a smile. People I assume are Mia's friends walk in. I introduce myself, but they give me the shoulder.

"Sorry about my friends. They're just jealous Christian didn't pick them." I give them an awkward smile and head back towards Christian.

As the hour passes most of our guests arrive. Anthony has come with Marco, which is shocking. He must really like him if they are still together. I don't remember any of Anthony's boyfriends lasting more than two months. I met Ros and her partner Jesse who is absolutely stunning. Both of them are. Some of the Grey's family friends are here along with work associates. I've noticed Christian doesn't have many friends. Flynn has arrived with his wife who stopped by to say hello. People are eating laughing and dancing. I don't think this night could be more perfect. I go over to the table where the snacks are and grab a caramel apple. I go off to find Christian and see him talking to Ros. I stand by his side and bite into the apple.

"You know they say you can tell if someone's a good kisser by the way they bite into an apple." Ros says to Christian.

"And your point is?" Christian replies.

"Well if that's true, I'd say your girlfriend's a mighty fine kisser." She winks and me. I almost choke on my apple as she said that. Christian chuckles and says confidently.

"Oh she is."

One of the waiters comes around again with the Bollinger champagne, which is absolutely delicious. I wonder how much all this champagne costs. I grab two flutes for Christian and I. It's just after eleven, which means the New Year is almost here. Gail, Taylor, Ray, Luke and Anthony are all talking. It makes me smile to see everyone back together.

"I think early June would be the best." Anthony says and I know they are talking about a camping trip.

"I love that time of year for camping." I say with a smile. "I can't wait to see the Christian Grey camping." Everyone laughs. We talk some more before Christian pulls me onto the make shift dance floor as they start playing the song feeling good.

"Do you remember the gala?" He says with his panty dropping smile.

"Of course I do." I follow Christians lead as we dance. The whole room melts away and it's only us. As the music picks up Christian spins me out and back into him so his arms are wrapped around me and his front is to my back. I smile as he holds me close. The things this man can do to me. We spin and sway for what feels like hours. I am lost in him. My fifty.

I stare at Christian and pout as he pulls me off the dance floor. "I'm sorry, Anastasia, we have to start the countdown soon."

"It's alright."

"Go do what you have to, Christian. I'll watch her." Anthony says from beside me. I hadn't noticed he was here. The song finishes and Christian gets on stage with a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming this evening." he says "I would like to invite my girlfriend up here to help me ring in the New Year." Christian smiles and everyone claps. Anthony gives me a shove and I stumble towards the stage and Christian greets me helping me up.

"If everyone will join in"

"Ten."

"Nine"

"Eight"

"Seven"

"Six"

"Five" Christian hands me the microphone.

"Four" He reaches into his pocket.

"Three." looks at me.

"Two" Drops down on one knee.

"One." I am the only one counting and everyone gasps.

"Happy New Year." I say in an awkward whisper and Christian grabs the microphone from me "Anastasia Rose Steele." I glance around and everyone is staring at us. "When I first saw you in the waiting room outside of Dr. Flynn's office I knew you were special. I knew you were the one when you'd never let me make excuses. I admire everything about you Anastasia—from your compassion to your love of books. Every day I learn something new about you that amaze me. Before I met you, I was an empty shell of a man and now I have a life. Would you do me the honour of spending the rest of your life with me? Anastasia Steele, will you marry me?" He opens the box and inside there is a beautiful square emerald cut diamond on a solitaire ring. Oh my!

"Yes, Christian." He slides the ring on my finger and jumps up grabbing me and kissing me. The room bursts into applause as I lose myself in his kiss.

Playroom soon I promise. SURPRISE! What did you guys think?
