And if we talk a little
The next day Ana woke up with a smile on her lips, she had dreamed of Christian and on her lips she could still feel his kisses, with an excellent mood she prepared to go to the office, it was still very early but wanted to be as soon as possible, as she needed to go over the new locations and wanted to tell Jim what she did with Elliot, once dressed and combed went to the kitchen, she did not want to make much noise because she did not want to wake Kate, so she prepared a tea and Put it in a cup and started to leave, left a little note on the table in the hall; And when she was on her way to the door, it opened, letting a disheveled and bare-breasted Kate in the same clothes as yesterday.
-"Shit," - Kate said in a whisper as her shoes fell out of her hands making noise.
-"Good morning to you too," - said Ana smiling, Kate looked up and met her friend all dressed up to go out.
-"Good morning Ana, excuse me, I was trying not to make a noise so I would not wake you." - Kate came in and headed for the kitchen. Ana left her things on the coffee table and only brought her cup of tea when she followed.
Kate reached the kitchen and made coffee, Ana sat at the bar to wait for her friend, Kate went to the refrigerator and took a tray of sweets, butter, also brought some ham and cheese, some rolls and milk, placed everything on the counter, and then went for the coffee served in a cup and sat next to Ana, began to prepare a sandwich and when she finished without any ceremony ate it, Ana looked at her friend, surprised.
- "I'm hungry," - he said between morsels, Ana laughed.
-I can see, you did not eat dinner last night? - She asked amused, Kate rolled her eyes and bit back her sandwich.
-Of course, we went to an Italian restaurant and dined delicious - Ana looked at her in surprise and made a gesture to make more, obviously had been hungry. Kate took a last bite of her sandwich
-So….?
Kate sighed. - "I'm hungry because all night I had a sex marathon with Elliot and before I left this morning, so I exhausted all my energy and I'm famished ..."
Ana laughed openly, only Kate can go through this kind of thing.
-"I can assume then that your appointment was good - the other only able to assert several times by shaking her head chewing a bread and smiling in the process
-"God ... she was the best, he is incredible in all aspects, he is nice, cheerful, funny, has charisma, is a gentleman and a machine in bed" - said admiringly taking a sip of coffee - "I am deliciously sore from the intensity of Its performance.
Ana felt a hint of jealousy, she could not make it with Christian, but she did not regret what had happened.
-You like it
-"I love it, and I'll see him tonight,"- she said, getting up from his chair and doing a little dance.
-"I'm glad Kate, you can tell she's a good guy."
-"Oh yes," - said her friend, sitting down again, then took another sip of coffee and asked with an air of indifference, - "and what about your date?"
Ana smiled - Perfect, magical - sigh - it was wonderful.
Kate raised her eyebrows and drew a smile on her face - I must assume that you finally left the virgin islands? - she said, putting more effort into the last word.
Ana's smile fell a little - No, he behaved like a gentleman, we did not get to that - said slightly disillusioned, Kate looked at questioning
-What happened?
Ana looked at her, didn´t want to tell her what Christian told her about their shadows because this would cause a lot of questions that Ana would not know how to respond, not to mention that she would create a gap between them and probably her friend would draw wrong conclusions. she shrugged and replied evasively.
-"It did not happen, it was not the time." - Kate looked doubtful.
- "But at least he kissed you?" - returned the smile to his face and a little blush also remembering the way his hands ran down her leg and her breasts.
- "Oh,yess" - she said with a sigh, " - and oh God, he knows how to kiss," she laughed.
The girls talked for a while longer until Ana drank all her tea and looked for her things to go to the office, when she picked up her cell phone saw the light blinking, which indicated a message, when she looked at the phone, the smile that appeared in his face threatened to split it in two.
C: Good morning, beautiful, I hope you slept well ...
The message had arrived 30 minutes ago, so before leaving she replied.
A: Good morning, thank you very much, I slept well and you ...?
Christian was on his way to GEH when he received the alert for a new message, he had not slept much, the nightmares had awakened him, so early he went running, passed close to Ana's condo and gathered all his strength not to climb to see her, he needed that contact with her, that's why when he returned to his apartment. after showering took his phone with the intention of calling her, but looking at the time thought she might not be awake, so he sent her a message, as he did not receive a reply immediately put away his cell phone, and with Taylor they went to the company , but now a smile appeared on seeing her name on the screen.
C: Well thank you, I did not want to wake you so early, I'm sorry.
A: you do not have to apologize, I was already awake, I'm on my way to SIP, I have several things to arrange for the move.
C: Okay, today I'll talk to Barney and Welch and see what's needed and I'll notify you
TO: ¿?
C: The heads of technology and security at GEH, I want them to make their appreciations about the building and the technology and inform us.
A: Okay, as you say, I'm already in my car, I have to go, have a nice day Mr. Grey, kisses ...
The last message had broadened his smile, he felt a teenager to be excited by a message.
C: Likewise Miss Steel ...
Ana smiled, "at least he sent me a happy face" she thought cheerfully and with that she headed for SIP.
The day passed very fast for them, each one submerged in their labor problems, Christian intended to call Ana at some point in the day but due to multiple complications that arose with several deals that were closing was impossible, Ana also could not contact Christian, spent the whole morning setting up the new locations and the afternoon in various meetings, when she noticed the time was more than 7, offices were empty only she was still working, a sound alerted her that she had a new message.
C: I wanted to write before but it was a difficult day, how are you?
A: I understand you, I'm still at the office and it does not seem like I'm going to leave yet and you ?.
Ana waited for the answer but did not arrive, she supposed he was busy so she concentrated on her task again until she heard the ping of the mail.

Ana turned off her computer, gathered her things and headed for the entrance, knew that Christian would arrive punctually, when she was saying goodbye to the guard, heard a voice behind her.
-Ms. Steel, working late? - Ana gestured a smile.
- I say the same Mr. Hyde, what are you still doing here? - He walked over to where she was and stood beside her.
- "I was reading a manuscript and I lost track of time, that happens with good books, how do you go home?" - He came very close to Ana which made her feel uncomfortable, didn´t believe a word of what he said.
- "Yes, I'm waiting to be looked for."
Jack smiled sideways, and looked at her from head to toe. - "This time I'm not going to let you go by taxi, I'll take you," - he said in an authoritative tone and moved closer to her, when she was about to reply, someone cleared his throat, when they looked Ana felt relief, Taylor was standing in front of them, turned away from Jack and went to Taylor.
"No, he's here to fetch me." -she took Taylor's arm and gave him a pleading look. He understood it and doubled it so she could take it. - "Good evening Mr. Hyde," - she said without looking back, arriving in front of the SUV they turned and no longer saw it standing, Ana released and sighed.
-"Thanks Taylor," - she said relieved.
-"Are you all right, Miss Steel?" - He asked worriedly, he did not like the posture
that was having the man while talking to her, had seemed strange, Christian opened the door and came down when they were arriving, was on the phone and could not be the one to look for her, didn´t notice the scene but did see the face of Taylor and Ana, abruptly cut off his call and shortened distance to where she was.
-Ana, are you okay? - He said worried, took her face and study, she was a little pale, but smiled when she had Christian in front
-"Yes, I'm fine," - she said politely and turned to Taylor. - "I'm fine, Taylor. Thanks again."
He just nodded, Ana handed him the keys to the car and he headed for the parking lot, but not before making a mental note to investigate that guy.
Christian was still studying Ana's face for something, but when he saw her smiling, he mimicked her smile and went to give her a soft kiss on the lips.
-"Hello ..." he said in a whisper.
-"Hello," she replied.
-"Excuse me for not being the one to pick you up, but I had a call I could not cut, what happened back there?" - He asked, intrigued.
-"Don´t worry, I understand." - she nodded to forget what had happened. - "Nothing happened. I was talking to a colleague when Taylor came in. I was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.
Christian frowned and his eyes narrowed.
-"Did He do something to you?" - He asked in a cold voice.
-"No, nothing, it was just a sensation, it was not important." - She tried to play it down, did not want to remember how he made it feel, because it brought back old memories very painful, she looked up and implored him to forget the fact, after a few seconds Christian's face softened and took her hand and guide her to the SUV, got into the driver's seat and together went to dinner a restaurant, by the look that she gave him, let the subject pass, but It would talk with Taylor to know exactly what happened.
They arrived at the restaurant and sat in prívate room, along the way they did not talk about it and they came in silence, when they arrived, Taylor informed him by message that he had already left Miss Steel's car at home.
-Are you really all right? - said Christian worried
She took his hands over the table and gave him a gentle squeeze and with a smile she answered.
-"I'm fine, really, thank you for caring." - He smiled, after ordering they talked about his day, Christian told her what Barney and Welch told him, after indicating the suggestions they gave him, they said they should have an interview with her to be able to unify points of view.
The dinner passed quietly, they talked about everything, and they learned a little of each,
Ana told him about her life with Ray, and from the way she talked about him it was clear that she loved him very much.
-"He was always by my side, maybe I didn´t have his blood, but I couldn´t have a better father,"- Christian nodded. - "The only thing he could never do was cook, before I went back to live with him, he lived ordering food or buyingit frozen.
-"I still don´t understand why you didn´t live with your mother, you didn´t want to be with her?" - Ana stirred restlessly in her chair, and her face changed, she went from cheerful to serious, Christian realized this and the alarms rang in his head, yesterday she told him, that she didn´t see her in 10 years and even died leaving the inheritance but without seeing her, but she never tell him why she didn´t see her or for what she didn´t live with her.
- We didn´t understand each other - it was all Ana said and she drank a drink from her glass, her gaze turned sad and she seemed reluctant to try the subject, he decided to let it pass, he also had things he didn´t want to talk about and he was not going to press it.
- "I'm sorry," he said, squeezing her hand, she gave him a grin and continued to stare at his plate. - "I did not mean to bother you.
- Do not worry - decided not to let his memories ruin his evening, so she looked inside her a smile and changed the subject - Your mother told me that she was wanting to organize the Carnival party for CopingTogether for the fortnight of February.
-Yes, Mom is very excited about your help, I think this will be the party that will organize with more enthusiasm
- I help her with desire, I want to be able to contribute also.
- "Of course, you're going to see that you're opening the Kids of Heaven venue here soon," - she smiled. - "Do you want to do something special this weekend?" - He asked, taking a drink, Ana's smile fell.
- "This weekend I must be in New York," - she said softly, Christian's eyes widened.
-That because? - He said angrily frowning.
- "On Friday I have to sign contracts and on Saturday I have to attend a gala to raise funds for another foundation and I was invited," - Ana explained, looking at her hands.
- "And when you thought to tell me," - Christian snarled annoyed, how he knew nothing of this.
Ana raised her head suddenly and there was surprise and a little anger in his face, why he was so angry and why he spoke badly
-"I'm telling you now," - she replied grudgingly, Christian ran his hand through his hair, damn it, she had made plans and he was not aware
-"You will not go," - he said authoritatively before he could stop, Ana's eyes widened.
-"Excuse me?, Did you just say I will not go?" - She said with subdued fury, she had to remember they were in public, now it was Christian who opened his eyes wide, had he really said that? "Shit, I really don´t want her to go, but I can not order her to do what I want, she's not my submissive" he thought in frustration, if Ana were his submissive, she should consult him and stick to what he said, but it was not the case, looked at Ana realized he had screwed up, her face was enraged and the red of her cheeks was not out of excitement or shame, but rage.
-"I don´t want you to go," - he said in an authoritative tone.
-"Excuse me, but I'm not asking you for permission," - she said.
-What, my opinion does not count? - said Christian in a capricious tone, Ana's head recoiled with surprise, "what did he just ask me?"
-"I didn´t know I had to consult every decision I made," - she said tartly.
-"It's not every decision, but this is something important, I would have liked to be a participant." - Ana opened her mouth in surprise, "is he serious?"
- "And when was I supposed to tell you?" - she said in a slow and calm voice - this trip was decided since before I saw you again - this made his eyes open a lot - these deals were negotiated with time and clauses that I'm sure you have in your company daily.
Christian said nothing, just watching her impassively, Ana stared at him and shook her head, and with an annoyed look on her face she picked up her things and got up, Christian did it automatically, with surprise.
-"Thank you for dinner, Mr. Grey." - Without another word, she left the restaurant. When she got outside, she took a deep breath and walked a few steps in search of a taxi.
When Christian left the restaurant he looked everywhere looking for her, when he saw her he started to run after her.
-ANA - he screamed, she didn´t turn, didn´t think to go to his call, when he reached her took her arm and forced her to stop.
-What do you want? - she said harshly, letting go of his grasp.
"We have to talk," - he said firmly.
-We have nothing to talk about Christian, I still do not understand what happened there, we were having a nice dinner and suddenly you became another person.
-"Please get in the car and we'll talk, but not here," - he pleaded, she looked where he indicated and saw that the SUV was parked, looked again at Christian and sighed, without a word, she headed for the vehicle and went up. Christian followed her diligently, when they were both in. Taylor started the march, Ana looked out the window, she was not thinking of making a sound, he was staring at her, he was divided by a thought, on the one hand he resented this attitude and thought that any submissive had dared to leave that way, would have ended the contract revoked, but again Ana was not a submissive, and that was the part that disturbed him, he did not want it to be.
When they stopped Taylor looked at his boss in the rearview mirror and with a gesture, he motioned for him to leave, without wasting time he got out of the truck and waited in the street, he was intrigued by what would happen, no woman had ever planted his boss and much less had the courage to do so.
- "Ana," - Christian said softly, she turned and looked at him, but then he fell silent, ran a hand through his hair and cursed silently.
- "Tell me," - she said calmly, looked at her again, what could he say that could justify his previous attitude, the truth was that he didn´t want her to go, he didn´t want her to go alone, he didn´t want to part with her.
- "The truth is, I do not want you to go to NY," - he said after a moment, Ana rolled her eyes and he narrowed his own, - "don´t roll your eyes," - he said angrily.
- "Do you know Christian?" I thought you said you wanted to talk but I see, this is again for you to tell me what to do, so I'd better leave" - when she was going to open the door, he jumped out of her hand and stretched her closer to him, he placed her hands on his back and his lips almost touched.
-"Why are you so stubborn?" - he said slowly, she was breathing hard, the proximity made her lose her sense - I don´t want you to go to NY because I don´t want to separate from you - Ana opened her eyes wide - it annoyed me, you didn´t tell me anything because I want to know everything about you - Christian was running her face with his lips, she had her eyes closed absorbing the sensation and his words - and it makes me crazy to think and know that you don´t count on me - and when he finished saying this kissed her, a hard kiss, strong and without sympathy, Ana moaned in his mouth and struggled to release his grasp, Christian pulled away a little and loosened his hands, Ana released and without wasting time took his hair and deepened the kiss.
Both were lost in the sensations, Christian had firmly grasped her hips and she twisted his hair and drew him to herself, in a movement he put her on his lap and with his hand began to caress the curves of his body, words Christian had collapsed Ana's wall, there was still a lot to talk about but now all she wanted was to feel his lips and his hands on her body, they were gradually lowering intensity and when they finished with a soft kiss they were connected by the front, breathing hard.
-"I didn´t mean to speak to you in a bad way," - he told her more calmly, - "only that you took me by surprise".
-"Christian, it was never my intention to bother you, only that I didn´t think you would take the trip in this way, it was something I had already programmed ..."
-"Yes, I know and I understand," - he said with a sigh. - "It just bothered me."
-"If you don´t tell me what bothers you I can not know, aside, Christian - she lowered her hands to his face and took it looking up at her - what we are doing?, what is this?," she said looking deep into his gray eyes, he sighed loudly.
-"I don´t know Ana, I'm new in this, so I can´t tell you what this is, I just wish it didn´t end" - he said sincerely, she smiled at him.
-"I'm new in this, and I don´t want it to end neither," - she said slowly, - "but we need to communicate more, I know it's all very new, but we must learn, because if we go on this way we'll stumble a lot on the way," - she finished, giving him a soft kiss , Christian corresponded and deepened the kiss, when they finished he looked at her and made an affirmative gesture.
- "Are we okay?" - She asked hesitantly.
-"Yes, we're fine," - he said, kissing her on the nose.
They got out of the van and Taylor was on the side waiting, Ana blushed, but when she looked at him, his face revealed nothing.
Christian accompanied her to the entrance to her apartment and there he kissed her goodbye, when she closed the door, he lowered again and went straight to the SUV, Taylor started up the Escala, looked at his boss and saw that he was deep in thought, he knew that in the end everything had ended well, but he was sure it was not the last time they would fight for their controlling nature.
Christian was reviewing the events of the night, at any other time her reaction had caused him to turn his back without hesitation, but the thought of moving away from her made him feel sick, he knew he was losing control and needed advice, he looked at his watch and noticed that it was too late, so he decided that tomorrow he would call Flynn, he urgently needed a session with him.
