Chapter 34.
CPOV .
My anger is at a scary point now and being stuck on a jet with Taylor is not helping as he is looking at me like am crazy, I guessing yelling at him from Escala to the tarmac has him looking at me that way. I know it's not Taylors fault that I am practically certifiable now but sometimes his calmness does not help, I keep going through all the pictures that Mia has been carelessly uploading I am going to have a serious talk with her as it is time she grows up and acts responsible. I never want Ana to not be able to live her life but all I ask is for her to be careful and act responsible as any psycho would be willing to kidnap her so they can get money out of me. Why don't the woman in my life take security more serious I will never understand them at all, Sawyer is going to feel my full wrath as I pay him to protect Ana and he should have never allowed that man anywhere near her let alone getting all touchy.
It takes just under three hours for my jet to get to LA once we land an I immediately call Ana.
" Hellllloooooooo hot stuff" Is how she answers her phone and I can tell that she is drunk.
" Anastasia where are you?"
" At a bar". I know that I am bound to get even more angry if this conversation goes on the way I think it's heading.
" What bar Ana and where?, Is Sawyer with you?"
" I don't know where or what the bar is called and Grandpa Sawyer is here being a real buzz kill"
" Good then that means he is doing the job I pay him to do, I want you to leave the bar now with Mia and let Sawyer get you both back to the hotel"
" I am just having fun Christian it's not like I am doing anything wrong why do you always want to control me like I am one of your submissives" That comment actually hurt.
" Anastasia don't you ever make such vile suggestions do you hear me. You know that you my wi" I am stopped by Ana yelling down the other end of the phone.
" Oh fucking please Grey don't you dare even call me that, I am not good enough to be engaged to you remember let alone be called your wife. I am just a good distraction for you until you find someone else that entertains you more"
I try my best to keep calm as I am about to lose it with her how can she think any of that is true.
" Anastasia I will be at your hotel in 45 minutes my suggestion is that you be there before I get there as we need to have a very serious conversation"
" I don't understand Christian how can you be heading towards my hotel you're in Seattle"
" No I have just landed in LA seeing that photo of you being touched and kissed by that man got me having to fly here to make sure your safe"
She hangs up the phone which makes me ever angrier if that is even possible, I sent a text to Sawyer to demand Ana and Mia be brought back to the hotel now. Hi response has me somewhat pleased as Ana decided to let him as it was time to call it a night. I manage to get to the hotel and into Ana's suite before she has arrived I am pacing anxiously awaiting her arrival and am somewhat nervous about what her reaction to me is going to be. I hear the door being opened and there she is my beautiful girl in that moment I let all the anger and pain go while I practically run to her and pull her into my arms. I can hear her crying and it makes me feel like such a shit for making her upset.
" Baby please don't cry I was just worried about your safety and you know how I get" I hear her trying to catch her breath as she sobs uncontrollably.
" I am not upset that your here I have missed you so much, I am sorry I said those things to you my mind has gone into overdrive lately and I just feel well I actually don't know how I feel" She looks so sad and I can actually hear my heart breaking.
" Baby is this about the fact that I proposed and it got ruined and you told me you would have said yes and the subject has kind of not been brought up again"
" Yes kind of I just feel like you have realised what a mistake it was and you don't want me to be your wife one day" Seeing the tears roll down her cheek makes me feel like such a horrible boyfriend I should have just put the ring on her finger when she said yes in bed to me,
Instead of wanting for a grand proposal.
" Baby I would marry you this second I have not one single doubt us I know that you're the one for me, I want to be with you for the rest of our lives I couldn't imagine ever being without you"
" I want all that to Christian I have just been going crazy thinking about this, I was too afraid to talk to you about it as I was scared about what you would say to me"
I kiss her and hold her until the tears finally stop I suggested that we should get a shower and head to bed, I will deal with Sawyer in the morning. Once we are in the shower I notice a mark on the top of Ana's thigh I get down on my knees so I can see what it is and when I do I am in shock. its a small heart that has CG in the middle of it she got a fucking tattoo she lost her mind. I look up at Ana and she looks so mischievous," Don't worry Christian its just Henna me and Mia got them done this afternoon you know for a bit of fun" I feel better knowing that she has not permanently marked her beautifully body but a part of me is so aroused seeing my initials on her body.
I carry her to bed and place her down gently on the bed I am guessing she wasn't as drunk as I thought as she seems pretty sober now, " Baby I am so sorry that I made you feel that way I just wanted the proposal to be perfect and everything you deserved it to be"
" Christian you know all that matters to me is the commitment we want to make to each other the proposal the ring the wedding none of that is important. You could have proposed without a ring and the fanfare and I still would say yes, You could ask me to fly to Vegas now and get married by Elvis and I would I just want you nothing else matters.
I can't believe how lucky I am to have this woman in my life she is an angel, I love her so much I never thought I was capable of love but Ana makes me fall in love with her more and more every single day. I know that a lot of emotions have flown since I got here but I can't think of a better time to do this, I take the ring box out of my bag as I always have it with me nowadays and I get down on one knee.
" Baby I love you more than life itself and I would be forever happy if you would become my wife"
" Yes Christian" I see more tears but I know she is happy.
We make love for hours and even get in a good fuck which was so unexpected I think seeing that tattoo has made me more horny that usual I don't know what it is about my name being on her body but its got me going big time , Ana has fell asleep in my arms and I can't resist but take a picture of her hand in mine on my phone as shows of her ring perfectly. Thats right men of the world she is mine. I am unable to sleep as I feel many different emotions right now I feel happy that we are engaged but I feel upset for having made Ana feel the way she did. I get an email from Sawyer giving me a debriefing about the events that took place it turns out the guy who held Ana and kissed her head was a designer that was in the show and who is gay which makes me feel a bit better.
I must have fell asleep after reading the email as I wake up to Ana looking at her ring which the biggest smile on her face, I reach out for my phone so I can capture this moment once my phone is in my hand Ana pulls me towards her and I take the picture with both of us in it. " Baby should we tell everybody about our engagement" " Yes how about we send that picture to everyone saying we are engaged and then call everyone later" I never thought to do anything like that as I always think make a call but I find Ana's idea to be cute. She tells me not to send it to Ray as she would like to call him and tell him as she doesn't know how he will react.
Once she is done with her call we send out the picture to the family and a few of our close friends such as Ros and Gwen, We both her r Mia squeal from her room and she is banging down our door a few seconds later. We receive messages from everyone saying congratulations and my Mother of course wants to plan a dinner for when we are home later on. I decide instead of going to my parents to eat that we should all go to the mile high and celebrate properly. I tell Ana and Mia that the jet is waiting for us to go so they should collect their things and get ready we will have breakfast on board. I still need to have a discussion with Mia and Sawyer but I will not allow anything to ruin this day.

I am so embarrassed I went off on Christian like that I hadn't really realized that I actually felt the way I did, In a way its a good thing it happened as we are finally engaged. The ring is massive but so beautiful I can't stop looking at it but Christian finds ways to distract me I am going to say that it was the best sex we have ever had and its been pretty amazing so far so I know its off the charts good. I wake to see Christian reaching for his phone and I am unsure what he is going to do with it so i pull him towards me and I have my hand on his cheek to show off my ring and I was right he wants to take a picture. When he asks about telling everyone about our engagement I suggest sending the picture he just took to everyone with a caption added to it as I think its a cute idea and saves tons of calls.
I ask Christian not to send it to Ray as I want to speak to him myself about it, surprisingly my dad seems genuinely happy for me well that's weird as not long ago he had in for Christian and now he is telling me he will come into town and we will celebrate our engagement an he will be in seattle by late afternoon. Christian tells me that Grace wanted to do dinner tonight and he has planned to go to the mile
high club to celebrate properly I just hope I have a dress that will be fit for the occasion. I am so glad we are flying home on Christian's jet as myself and Mia bought a lot of stuff at the shows.
I am starting to feel nervous during the flight about this evening as I have not seen Elliot since Christians birthday and I don't know what terms he and Christian are on now. I am sure it will be a civil evening well I hope I know I should be mad at Elliot but I can't bring myself to be mad as Elliot means so much to me and Christian and a part of me will always adore him and I know none of it was his fault. Christian however sees things very differently than I do but I know he loves his brother and he will at least try to get along even if it's just for one night.
Once we are at home I get a message from Franco saying he will be arriving at 4pm to get me ready for tonight got to love Christian an his planning,I am putting away all the new clothes I bought while in LA and see the perfect dress for tonight, I am greeted by Christian as he walks into the closet I guess he wants to get his suit ready but I was wrong, He gets on his knees and takes off my shorts leaving me in only my panties and kisses up my thighs once he reaches the Henna Tattoo he growls, If I thought he would get the revved up about it I would have had it done earlier. " Baby you have no idea what seeing my name on your body does to me" " I have a pretty good idea what if as and engagement present I get it done for real" He stops what he's doing and gets up and holds my face in his hands. " You would do that baby permanently mark your body with my name" " Yes I would".
We end up fucking up against the wall in the closet which seals the deal for me I am getting a real tattoo. Franco arrives and loses his shit when he sees my ring Christian tells me it's not public knowledge yet so he should keep his big mouth shut. I am ready to shout it from the roof tops or at least out of the balcony but I know that the press will mob us and start running story after story and I want to enjoy the engagement bubble while I can. Once Franco has finished my hair and make up I am ready to get my dress on Christian comes in to closet and thanks Franco and tells him polity to leave, " Baby let me help you get into that dress I plan on helping you out of later" the feel of Christians hands all over my body while he is dressing me sends me crazy I am turning into a sex crazed monster.
I am wearing a grey full length dress which I thought was an appropriate colour for celebrating my becoming a Grey. We leave the apartment and head out for dinner we get out of the car outside the mile high and walk into the entrance I am sure I saw someone with a camera but I guess I am just paranoid. Once we are up to the restaurant floor we are greeted by the entire Grey family and my dad, Grace works quick as there are balloons and flowers and banners everywhere. We get hugs from everyone expect for Elliot I walk up to him and hug him and tell him that nothing was his fault and I want the old Elliot back I see Christian wink at him and I realise that he had been worried about how I would treat him after everything that happened.
Gracepov
I am on cloud nine now seeing that messages from Christian and Ana has me overjoyed I even ran into Carrys office screaming he thought something bad had happened the way I was caring on. I have talked to Christian about dinner tonight and he suggest his restaurant which is fine by me so I set up to have flowers balloons and banners set up as we are celebrating. I am stressing out what to wear for such a special occasion where as Carry just pulls a suit out and carries on which whatever he was doing beforehand. I can't believe my little boy is going to get married and to the love of his life no doubt, me and Carry both adore Ana and I know my parents love her so much especially my dad I think he loves her more than anyone.
I call Elliot to ask if he had heard from Christian and he said he had received the message and was happy for them both, he tries to talk himself out of coming this evening but I wont have it so I play the I am your mother card on him.
