Chapter 9:
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Ugh, I groan and roll over to see the time. 6.00AM. Yep, seems about right. I raise my hand to my cheek, I wince at the pain I get. It feels a bit swollen. I look over and Christian is still asleep so I carefully get up and get my phone. I wince again at the pain between my legs. Maybe three times wasn't such a good idea when I'm so new to the activity. Five missed called from Kate, shit she's going to kill me. She should be up by now so I call her. "It's about fucking time Steele! What have you been doing?"

"I - urr - I was just - busy."

"Wait. Grey busy?" Her voice turns from mad to excited.

"Well, yes." She squeals and I take the phone off my ear.

"This is an awkward question so if you're still a virgin speak now." I stay silent, a blush creeping up my cheeks, thank god she can't see me. She screams, I mean full on screams. How can she be this peppy at six in the morning? "Omg Ana! This is great! Did you come?"

"Kate! I'm not talking to you about this on the phone, goodbye."

"How big is his-" I hang up before she has a chance to finish. I look at my face in the mirror. Yep, it's swollen and there's a noticeable bruise. I sigh and walk over to the kitchen and start making breakfast. I turn on the radio and 'Beast of Burden' by The Rolling Stones is on, while I'm whisking the pancakes I start to sway my hips to the music. When I'm full on dancing I turn on my heels and see Christian sitting at the island laughing with his phone in his hand.

"This may have to go on twitter." He taps some things and laughs again at the shock on my face. "Don't worry, you can't see your face and I won't tag you in it. Just needed to share it with the world." He continues to laugh and I grab some flour and throw it at him. He looks up at me through his flour covered eyelashes and smirks. "Ahh, so that's how it is hm?" He gets up and starts stalking round the island to me, his eyes dark. I have to say I'm a bit frightened at what he'll do, I'm frozen to the spot. He reaches in the bag of flour and pulls out a handful, he throws it at me so quickly that I don't have time to move and it hits my face and my chest. I turn to him and he's laughing. Right, that's it. I sneakily get an egg when he's doubled over and walk towards him, he stands straight again as smiles at me holding out his hand. "Truce?" I nod and smile, I go to shake his hand but break the egg on his palm just as he cracks one on the top of my head. We both gasp and look at each other.

"You sneaky little shit." I say, as the egg drops down my hair. He laughs at me and walks towards me.

"I think we need a shower Miss Steele." Ahh so that was his plan. Two can play at the game Grey, I nod and take his T-shirt off as I'm not wearing anything under it. He inhales sharply and I let him get a good look at me as I sashay to the bathroom. I lock the door behind me and I hear him walking towards the bathroom, he tries to open it but knows the door is locked so he groans.

"Ana." He knocks on the door.

"Yes?" I say innocently. He groans again.

"Ana you made me really hard." I gasp as if I'm shocked at what he's saying.

"What do you expect me to do about it?" I hear him groan again.

"If you don't want me to come all over your bathroom door you'll open it right now." That's when I quickly unlocked it just as he was dropping his boxers. I look down at his dick and then back up at him. He gives me a lopsided smile and I jump on him, wrapping my legs around his waist. I kiss him passionately as he walks us into the bedroom, where he throws me on the bed. He runs his tongue down my body and I moan. I could get used to this.

"Tell. Me. Everything." Kate says over the table at lunch. I blush and she giggles. "Oh my god, you did it right?" I nod, avoiding eye contact with her and she pulls my chin up so that I'm looking at her. "You don't have to hide from me honey, you know what my first time was like. And what's with the killer bruise on your cheek? He into BDSM or something?" I ignore that last comment, that would be weird. Christian Grey into BDSM. Nah, can't see it. It's true though, about me knowing how she lost hers. I promised her I'd tell her when and how it happened. Shit.

"It was...good." She opens her mouth and closes it like a fish.

"Just good?" She probes me and I look down again. She laughs. "It wasn't just good was it?" I smile shyly and she squeals again. It's even more annoying in person.

"Ok. It was amazing. And I um - I did..." My voice trails off, this is so embarrassing.

"You came?" I nod shyly. "Wow, how many times?"

"Just the first time?" That's when her mouth opens wide.

"You did it more than once?" I nod.

"How many times?"

"Four."

"Four times! How many times did you come then? Altogether."

"Six." She opens her mouth wider if possible. "How big is his, you know." She wiggles her eyebrows and I laugh. I lean in to her.

"Well, Christian Grey is perfect so you can imagine." I raise my eyebrows at her and is just about to squeal again when I see a familiar pair of grey eyes walk towards me. I smile and Kate turns around, she rolls her eyes but I can't keep mine off my man. My boyfriend!

"Afternoon Anastasia, Katherine." Kate nods and I smile, he looks at me knowingly. "I was just coming to say I can't help you work after school as I have to fly back to Seattle and should be there until Monday evening so I won't be there Monday after school either." My face falls, all weekend?

"You're away until Monday?" He smiles apologetically and leans in, careful to be student teacher distance.

"I'm sorry. I'll call you tonight though ok?" I nod and he says a quick goodbye to Kate before walking away. Could this be him trying to say that he need space? Or is he leaving me after taking my virginity? God I hope not. Kate takes my hand and I look up at her.

"Stop overthinking this Steele. It's obvious he really likes you. It's only a few days without him, you spent your whole life without him up until a few days ago. Plus if he hurts you he'll have me to deal with and I don't care how rich Mr Moneybags is I'll break his fingers." I laugh and Kate points to my face with her fork. "So what happened to your cheek?" I look down. Should I tell her I fell or the truth? "Don't tell me you fell Ana. I know what a punch looks like. Was it Grey?" I look up at her in shock.

"God no! He would never hit me Kate! It was um-" she looks at me. "It was...Jose.." I say in a small voice. Kate drops her fork on the table.

"He what?!" She stands up just as poor Jose walks in the lunch hall. I say poor Jose because I know what's coming for him next, it's not going to be pretty. He spots Kate and turns to walk away, but Kate has other ideas. "No, no fucking way are you getting away from me Rodriguez." She runs after him and I get up and run after Kate. When I find them she is screaming at him. She's punched him because he's holding his jaw. Good old Kavanagh. I can only think of what she'll do next. "You think you can just hit my best friend and get away with it? You fucking pathetic little shit! Hitting a girl are you fucking kidding me! You horrible little worm-"

"-Kate just fuck off!" He grabs her shoulders and pushes her away. She stumbles and falls to the floor looking shocked. Everything has built up until now, I've tried to keep calm but I can't anymore. To say I was furious would be an understatement.

"Don't you touch her!" I swing my arm round and my fist collides with his nose, making a crunching noise. I fly at him, scratching and screaming. I feel strong hands lift my waist and suddenly I'm off the floor. I immediately know who it is but I'm too angry to acknowledge him there. I struggle to get out of his grip so that I can continue to harm Jose. "Don't ever speak to me again! You don't touch me! You know what happened to me and you still did it! You're disgusting!" I scream at him, by now there are people gathering in the hallway watching me scream at a bloody nosed Jose with Christian holding me back.

"Ana, stop this. Please, it was a mistake, I'm sorry." He's trying to reason with me? Is he fucking serious?

"You fucking punched me! You hit me in my home! And you're trying to reason with me?" Christian gets more of a hold on me but I keep struggling. "Get off me! Get off me! Let me fucking kill him!"

"Ana, I love you don't do this."

"You love me? Wow Jose you really know how to get a lady! Punch her in the face and she's yours. How fucking romantic!"

"Ana stop this. You're causing a scene. Just hear me out." I just look at him and when Christian thinks I've calmed down he loosens his hold on me, people have got their phones out and are now filming. I rush forward and swing my leg up, landing directly in between his legs. There are "Ooo"s around the hall and Christian grabs me again. Jose falls to the floor clutching his groin.

"Maybe your dick will stop working now and you won't be able to try and rape girls again." I hiss at him, there are gasps and murmurs around the hall as more people gather around. Christian puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Enough, Anastasia." I look at him and he looks angry, oh shit. He turns to the audience. "I assume you all have classes to go to. Go! Now!" He demands, why is he so angry? They all scurry away quickly and soon it's me, Kate, Christian and Jose alone in the hallway. "Katherine, go to your class. Jose, the nurse. Anastasia, come with me." I give Kate a shrug and follow Christian to his office. When I walk in he shuts the door behind me. "Ana what was that?" I sit down and hang my head, I look down at my right hand and see bruising starting to appear on my knuckles. It really hurt and touch the small cut I got and wince. He moves forward. "Here, let me see." He kneels down in front of me and gets a tissue from his pocket, wiping the blood away. That's when the dam bursts, soon I'm curled up in Christian's lap while he whispers soothing words in my ear.

"How can he do this to me? Make me go through this again? Oh god." I put my head in my hands again and sob hard.

"What do you mean again?" I sit up, I want to tell him. I think it's right, he's been so supportive recently so he'll support me with this too I guess. I take a deep breath and look at him. Now is the time.

A/N - Hi guys! I had an epiphany last night and completely changed where this story is going. Nothing will change at the beginning but later on I've changed it so you won't read what I originally had planned. Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it and shout out to Leibeezer for always reviewing my updates on this story. Thank you!
