Here we go!
Dinner at Christians parents house was more or less uneventful. Mia and Elliot showed up, Elliot even brought Kate. Overall it was a lovely event with the family. They have been so welcoming of me, into their family. Other than that one incident about the prenup, which Christian absolutely refused to sign even after I told him that I didn't mind it. He said that if I were to ever leave him then the money would mean nothing at all anyway.
By request of Grace and Carrick they insisted that I called them family and that I could come to them with anything. Mia has become like a sister to me, because I am an only child I've never really had anyone to go shopping with or talk girly things with, that is until I met Kate; Mia has become like another sister to me. As well, Elliot has been like an older brother to me, he made laugh so hard once when I was drinking a cup of water it came out of my nose.
When dinner was over Grace invited us over to Sunday brunch which we happily agreed to. We would be leaving for New York Thursday night and getting back on Saturday morning so we can attend brunch. Christian and I exchange our goodbyes with the family and head back to our home at Escala.
The rest of the week goes by just as fast, but lets just say that Jack was not thrilled about me taking off work to go to New York. As bad as it is for me to say this, but Christian owns this company and he can do as he pleases. I want to make a name for myself in this company, that is why I did not take Christain offer in taking over and running Grey Independent Publishing, as my own business, something he was less than thrilled about saying that he had bought the company for me. Some day I want to earn the right to be editor not because my husband gave it to me.
Through out the week Christian and I talked about the house on the Sound. I was right when I said that the inside must be as beautiful as the outside. It was just at breathtaking as I thought it would be. We took a couple of trips up there to look at it and see what kind of renovations it needs. It definitely needs some upgrades and some remodeling but other than a few minor things the house is absolutely amazing.
When we told our family that we had just bought a house on the Sound they were thrilled. Grace burst into tears and she held me and sobbed thanking me for giving her son back to her.
Another thing that Christian and I have been talking about a lot recently is starting our a family. We both agreed that we do want kids but not right at this moment that we want to just enjoy this time as newlyweds and focus on each other. I think part of the reason Christian doesn't want kids right now is that he is still afraid he won't be a good dad. I think this is utterly ridiculous, our child would be the most loved child on the planet and knowing Christian he would love that child with every fiber of his being.
When Friday rolled around I actually became really excited about flying to New York. I have never been before and I want to get in some tourist-y things in while Christian is doing his business thing. If I can drag Christian away from his desk long enough to come with me that would be even better.
"Ana?" Christian calls coming into our room.
"In here!" I say from the closet.
"Hey, wow you are stunning." he tells me.
"Hardly, I'm wearing a tshirt and jeans Christian," I say, "Are you ready to go?"
"Ana you could be wearing a paper bag and I would find you the most stunning women on earth." he says coming up behind me.
I roll my eyes and pick up the bag that I just packed; it's the middle of winter and I expect that it will be extremely cold in New York so I packed heavy sweaters and pants.
"The plane is on standby ready for us, I'm ready whenever you are," he tells me.
"I'm ready," I say.
Taylor drive us to the airport where he drives right onto the tarmac, I don't that I will ever get used to the kind of extravagance that comes with being married to Christian Grey. We pull right up to the private GEH jet where the pilot is waiting for us at the entrance of the plane.
Christian hops out of the car and runs around to my side then helps me down. The inside of the plane is just as I remember, the seats are made of a blonde leather and the rest of the plane has a homey, comfortable feel to it.
Both Christian and I buckle up ready for the plane to take off, and after a flight checks we are on our way sailing upwards towards the sky. It's late Thursday evening so when the pilot tells us that we are free to move about the cabin; Christian takes my hand and leads me into the back room that has a bed for us to sleep in while we fly. He leaves me in the room and tells me that he will be right back; he needs to speak with Taylor and the pilot really quick and he'll be back shortly. I nod and sit down on the bed and remember how comfortable it is.
A couple minutes has passed and Christian hasn't come back to the room. I shrug out of my jacket and lay back on the bed. It is very late and I am really tired all of a sudden. The next thing I know is my eyes are refusing to stay open, so I stop fighting and fall into the blackness of sleep.
I wake up sometime in the middle of the flight, I look over and see that Christian has crawled into bed next to me and I take in his sleeping body. Feeling myself relax the sleep again consumes me.
I'm dreaming of the house on the Sound, and I am in the backyard it's a little valley with tall grass that hits me at my knees. It overlooks the water, and I notice that it is a surprisingly nice day for Seattle. Off in the distance I can see Christian, he has a big boisterous smile on his face. It looks as if he is chasing someone or something. Then he stops and turns to look at where I am standing in the grass. He waves and I think he is trying to call out to me.
He then kneels down to where I can't see because the grass is in the way. Over the grass I can hear a tiny voice yell up to me.
"Mommy!" and suddenly I am jolted awake by a gentle rocking of my arm.
"Ana, Baby we are here its time to get up honey." it's Christians voice pulling me out of my slumber. I look up to find him already dressed and ready to go. He is where one of his grey suits and blue tie that makes his eyes really pop out at you. His hair is a mess but that is to be expected. I grin at him recalling the dream that I just had.
"Come on, we will be landing soon." he tells me pushing some of the hair out of my face.
I jump out of bed and realize I am only in one of his t-shirts, when he came in last night he must have undressed me. I quickly throw on some clothes, putting on a couple of extra layers because I know that it will be extremely cold when we land.
Finishing just as we are about to land I go out to the main seating area and sit next to Christian as the plane starts to ascend.
"So I have a meeting at 8 and 10 then another one at 4 this evening." Christian tells me. This makes me sad because I really wanted to do a little bit of sightseeing with him before we go back to Seattle. This means that I will just have to go on my own.
"I'm going to see some of the sights around the city." I tell him.
He glances at me and I know he doesn't like the idea of me walking through the city without him.
"Ana." he says dragging out the A in my name, trying to scold me like a petulant child.
"Relax," I say to him, " I will take Sawyer with me and I won't do anything that could be potentially harmful, I promise." he still doesn't look all that happy about it, but he knows that if he tries to stop me he will not win that battle.
"Okay." he mumbles.
Taylor has driven us to the apartment that Christian owns in New York, and it's a lot like Escala before I moved in. It is sterile and there is a lot of white everywhere, there doesn't seem to have a loving touch to it anywhere. The apartment is cold and professional not meant for any type of home. Taylor takes mine and Christians bags up the master bedroom and I take a seat on the couch that faces out towards the skyline of New York.
It is about 7:00 in the morning now and I know that Christian has to leave for his meetings soon. He sits down next to me on the couch and I immediately feel comfort from just his presence.
"Hey I know you didn't exactly want to come to New York this weekend with me. But I'm glad you did, I'd miss you so much if you didn't." he says.
"I know, I would have missed you like crazy to. Its not that I didn't want to be here with you, it's just that I had already taken so much time off of work." I explain, "But I am glad to be here with you because there is no one else I'd rather be here with than you." I stretch up and kiss the corner of his mouth, then the other corner. I can feel his smile on my lips as I go in for a full kiss. I kiss him until I need air, I pull back some and I notice that we have fallen back onto the couch so that I am laying on top of him. He notices this at the same time I do and I can see just what he wants. He winks at me and I give in, he pulls me back down on top of him.
After a quicky on the couch Christian announces that he has to head to the office to be on time for his meeting. I lean up to fix his tie that is crooked and kiss his cheek then he's off, going to be the master of the Universe.
A couple minutes after Christian leaves I decide that I don't want to waste anytime that I could spend out exploring New York. So I call Sawyer to the living room and he tells me that Taylor will also being joining us. My fifty is always gonna be controlling so there is no point in arguing. The battle over the security is not a battle that I want to have again.
Overall the day was an amazing success, we went to Time Square and I shopped around and ate lunch there. Then we took the subway, something Taylor was less than thrilled about, and when to the tip of Manhattan. From there we took ferry boats to see the Statue of Liberty. After that we went back towards the heart of the city so I could take a walk through Central Park.
Taylor was an excellent tour guide, because he had been here numerous times before with Christian; he would point things out and explain them to me. When I was too exhausted to do anything else we went back to the hotel.
When we reached the hotel it was just about 5 in the evening and Christian wasn't quite done with his meeting. Taylor tells me that he should be here within the hour. I decide that this will be the best time to explore the rest of the apartment.
Walking up the stairs at the end of the hall I find the master bedroom that has a bathroom connected to it. I assume that whoever did the interior for Escala must have also done the interior for this apartment as well because they look almost identical.
I walk out and back down the hallway looking into different rooms. Most of them are simply guest rooms and the rest are just empty. Then I come across the room I was hoping would be here.
A full library just like the one at home! I walk in and look over all the books finally decide on "Tess of the d'urbervilles" a favorite of mine. I read for an hour when I hear Christian in the living room. I close the book and head out to see him.
When I get to him he looks dishevelled, his hair is in more of a mess then it usually is. Something is up, I hurry over to him.
"What's wrong Christian?" I ask.
Finally noticing me he tries to make it seem like everything is okay, but he is clearly debating whether or not to tell me.
"Nothing Ana, everything is fine with me I promise." I give him a look that I hope says Don't-give-me-that-Bullshit.
"We can't leave tomorrow," he says, "There is going to be a big storm over the midwest and we would run right into it if we left anytime in the next couple of days."
"That's not so bad, I mean we still have the whole weekend, and you and I could go see more of the city." I tell him. I know this is not the thing that got him all worked up and I will bring it up again, I don't want anything to come between us anymore.
"Yeah you're right, I guess this is a good thing." He pulls me into a bone crushing hug.
