"Sort it out without me," Charlize says calmly and leaves. Bastard. She gave me food for thought and left. We are left alone with Christian... Or Robert?
"When did you want to tell me the truth?" I attack.
"Ana... You see. I am a very prominent figure in the New York BDSM community and I need to remain incognito. That's how my pseudonym Christian Grey came about. Yes, people often tell me that I look like De Niro, but they don't realize that I am him," Robert comes up to me, "forgive me for not telling you."
"I guessed. Rich as Grez, Sexy as the Devil, have a library, are on friendly terms with Eastwood and Theron... You are not that simple, Mister De Niro," I go to the kitchen and pick up the contract. When, shall we discuss it? I ask and look at Robert.
I think, in a month. I have things to do now. And you have something to think about. Study the issue, watch porn videos, I can give you the addresses of several of my former subs, Robert says playfully.
A month Too long. What will you do all this time? Will you harass members of the Academy "Oscar"? I giggle.
I slept with all of them and you know, it's not so much fun. I'll be busy hunting. I love killing animals on New Year's, De Niro's eyes light up with maniacal lights.
You are a very dangerous man, Robert, I savor his name on my tongue.
Dangerous for you, Ana? Robert brazenly presses me against the wall.
Of course, I whisper and kiss him on the lips, be careful on the hunt.
We look into each other's eyes for a long time and are silent. I am incredibly sorry to leave him, but it is necessary. So much has happened in these two days and I have to think.
I take Carrick, the contract and enter the elevator. Oh, Still, what did he do to you? I close my eyes and breathe heavily. I just wanted warmth and love, but it seems I will get more than I deserve. God, why do I attract completely fucked up actors with inclinations of Inquisitors? Yes, I know that I myself am wrong and completely fucked up, and I want to agree to this contract.
Why? Because I see that my demons sometimes take possession of me. This happened in November, when at Gia Mateo's party, I almost tried cocaine. Fortunately, Hyde quickly pulled me away from the white carpet. And in October, not long before Halloween, Gale Hawthorne, a high school student with the brain of a Gorilla, cornered me in the toilet and thank all the gods that Ray taught me self-defense at 13. This path is more dangerous than BDSM, I know it and sessions with Robert can help me.
Taylor comes up to me on the street.
"Miss Still, Mr. De Niro told me to take you home," the driver says formally. I nod and get into the Bentley.
"And how did you get into my house and take the cat?" I ask.
"A master key, Miss Still. In my youth, I was a professional thief. I unsuccessfully robbed the house of one of the Hollywood stars and got caught. And Mr. De Niro posted bail for me and now I serve him," Jason smiles.
Oops! Yeah, the weirdness in Robert's world continues. But damn, I like that his world is not like the usual and correct one.
What movie star did you rob? I persist.
Martin Scorsese, Taylor replies. As you know, he and Robert are good friends, maybe even more.
I nod silently. The road to my house flies by quickly, and when I enter the house, I feel much happier and calmer than before. Carrick lies down by the fireplace, and I go to check on Grace. As it turns out, my polar friend successfully flew during the night and now slept in a cage. Apparently, Jason managed to do it here too. I sit down on the bed, open my purse and start reading the contract.
Damn, all this is quite doable and acceptable. Sleep, food are very important to me and I am ready to agree to this. Clothes, hmm ... I always dreamed of beautiful dresses and jewelry. I was embarrassed, only every weekend. I need to think of something here. My parents would definitely suspect something if I disappeared from Friday night until Monday morning every week. I have a high pain threshold, I know it and I am ready to expand my boundaries. Complete submission, that will be a problem, but it will be even more interesting. Let's see, Mr. De Niro, who will tame whom. Let's see.
