CHAPTER 11
The place opens up into a three tiered floor plan and two sets of stairs going up around both sides of the dance floor to an upper tier and the VIP section. There are bars set up in specific areas, brass railings, the carpeting is red and the walls are light gray. There was rigged track lighting and special effects lighting in the ceiling. The place was packed.
They left their coats locked in the back office with Gail and Ana's purses. There was a purse already on top of the desk and Christian knew Mia was already there. Christian led Ana up to the VIP area as Taylor, Sawyer and Gail dispersed through the interior. He had their table with Elliot, Mia and José reserved for the night already.
When they almost reached the table, there was a loud gasping squeal and a man jumped up from the table and hurried towards them. Christian stopped in his tracks in surprise. A very manicured handsome Latino young man, dressed in a stylish loose white silk half unbuttoned open shirt with a heavy gold chain hanging around his neck in a tight pair of black pants came running up to Ana.
He said in a breathless way and his hand flamboyantly on his chest waving it around, "Oh, Anastasia girl. You're giving me the heart palpitations. Don't tell me… don't tell me… that is a leather Versace, right?" She grinned and nodded. He squealed again.
He kissed his fingertips and said, talking fast,"I just became your flaming fangirl. You know what effect leather and Versace has on a gay man? It makes our favorite Italian tendencies just melt into a puddle of tomato sauce. Even gay men would check your hot little ass out from your head to your…" He looked at her feet and sighed loudly.
He continues, "...your Louboutin leather encased feet. Personally, I would wear your hot ass Versace leather minidress if I was you, but with my luck, I'd stretch it out because of my fat little round ass…." Ana was laughing.
Ana said smiling patting his shoulder, "Calm down now. You're gonna pull a sensitive gay something or other."
He smiled at her and said smiling and pushed her shoulder, "Girl, you know what I mean. You just sizzle like a medium rare filet mignon! You look like someone could chew you up and come back for seconds." *waving and snapping his fingers* "I knew that hairstyle would rock that pretty everything you got going on there."
He looked next to her at Christian and said, "Who's this fine cut of New York strip steak in a Tom Ford style with you, Anastasia? You must have gone out and bought yourself a stud finder at the hardware store, huh?"
Ana said chuckling, "José Rodriguez, hair artist extraordinaire, meet Christian Grey, my very good friend."
José whispered behind his hand to Christian, "I just convinced her to call me that out in public over the last year or so. It's to build up my business rep. She's been my promotions advocate expert, client and fairy god-girlfriend for a long time now." Christian grinned at this crazy man.
José tugged on both their arms and said, "Come on, let's go sit our pretty asses down and get both of you a drink. You need to meet my friends, flirty Mr Elliot and prissy Miss Mia." Ana and Christian looked at each other suppressing laughter and just followed Jose's lead.
Jose said proudly out loud, "Elliot! Mia! This is Anastasia Lambert, a woman with some class to die for. Mia girl, live and learn from her girlfriend. She can teach you to get out of them Dolce and Gabbana clothes into some true designer styles. Elliot, you behave yourself around Christian. This one's my girl Anastasia's man, no touchy, muchy."
They all sat down as the waitress came up. Christian ordered for them and asked, "Everyone all set on drinks?" They nodded.
Mia said, patting on Jose's arm, "Jose, Christian is our brother. I thought you knew I had another brother?"
José said, rolling his eyes, "I knew you had another brother, girl. I just didn't know he looked like that. Besides, if my girl, Anastasia calls him her 'very good friend', I'm all about it then." He did the air quote thing with his fingers in the air.
Mia rolled her eyes at him. She smiled, put out her hand to Ana across from her and said, "So, Anastasia, you're the woman who saved my brother's life aren't you? I'm glad to finally meet you. Christian said on the phone that he finally caught up with you at the gala last weekend."
Ana said, shaking her hand, "Please call me Ana. I don't know why Jose and Christian call me Anastasia."
Both men said at the same time, "It's a beautiful name." José held up his fist to Christian as Christian held up his and fist bumped him. Making them all laugh.
José turned to ask, confused, looking at her and then Christian, "You saved his life?" Christian nodded, smiling.
Ana nodded and said seriously, "His helicopter crashed on my rural property about four months ago. He broke his arm and had a huge hit to the head. I treated his injuries, took care of him and got him to help at the Tacoma hospital the next day."
José said seriously looking at Ana in surprise, "I didn't know you could do all that?"
Ana leaned over and nudged him saying, "José, my daddy was a Marine Raider, I am trained to do all kinds of things. You have no idea what I'm capable of." The waitress came back with their drinks.
José laughed out loud and said, "You're gonna have to spill and tell me about all your skills. So I guess a Marine Raider is a bigger deal than a regular Marine, huh? I bet your cute little ass is like Wonder Woman with a badass golden lasso that can kick some butt. Like some super undercover secret agent sniper shit, huh?"
Ana tickled him, making him laugh saying, "Something like that. If I tell ya then I'll have ta kill ya."
Elliot was grinning at her playing with Jose. He said putting his hand out, "Being my little brother didn't jump in and introduce you. It's nice to meet you. I'm Elliot, the better looking and more fun brother."
José muttered, snapping his fingers, "Sell it boyfriend, cuz I'm buyin'." Elliot grinned at José.
José said to Elliot, "El, baby, remember when I told you and Mia all about the time that I had a magic fairy god-girlfriend that waved her magic wand and sprinkled fairy glitter dust or some shit on me for luck one day? Then the magic fairy backed me to get up and running with my salon day spas outta the blue? I know you thought I was telling you some crazy story shit back then." Elliot nodded.
José said, pointing at Ana and said with his head cocked to the side, "This is the magic fairy god-girlfriend with all that dust and shit."
José looked at Christian and said, "Anastasia saved my poor sorry little ass too. I was working out of that damn skanky salon on Bravern Street with the slave name on it. She said, and I quote…" *He cleared his throat and spoke sounding girlie with a southern accent* "'Jose, you're just too marvelously talented, exceptionally smart, extremely witty and just the prettiest of hairdressers. You got the potential to be a hair artist extraordinaire, now get your pretty ass out of this dead end job and follow me.' I thought to myself that I agree with her opinion of me. So, I tossed my scissors and followed her cute little ass out the door after her hair appointment. She was wearing a lacey dark blue Donna Karan suit and we walked right into this huge glass skyscraper company with like fifty floors or some shit. It took forever on that elevator going up, up, up into heaven where her office was with the angels. After all, I was following a magic fairy angel or something, right? By the end of the next month or two I had so much fairy magic rocking shit and making it all happen around me. I had to hire my staff and get my styling chairs and masseuse tables filled with talented people. The renovations were done and beautiful. That's where I met, El. Once the word got out, I had more business than gay men lining up for the Chippendale show in the city of San Francisco." They all laughed.
José looked at Elliot and asked, "Does he know that you wear ballet shoes to bed?"
Elliot said, frowning at him, "I do NOT…"
José laughed, waving his hand at him, "That you're GAY… You big sexy silly man."
Elliot said frowning, "Oh… well I guess he does now."
Elliot turned to Christian and said, "Mia knows and now you. I haven't told the parents yet and would appreciate it if everyone kept it to themselves for now."
Christian said smiling, "No problem, Elliot. I got your back." Elliot smiled at him fondly.
Ana said softly, "It's none of my business so you don't have to worry about me, Elliot."
Elliot smiled at her and said, "Thank you, fairy princess." Ana laughed.
Ana said, nudging Jose, "I don't have a southern accent when you talk like me." José laughed as did everyone else.
Christian turned to Ana standing up while putting his suit jacket on the back of the chair and said sensually, "Come dance with me, beautiful." José sighed. Ana smiled and took his hand walking away with him to the dance floor.
The dance floor was half filled and the lights were changing color. A slow and very sexy song came on once they stepped out onto the dance floor. Christian spun her around and wrapped his arms around her.
"Not Afraid Anymore" by Halsey
I am Not Afraid Anymore
Standing in the eye of the storm
Ready to face this, dying to taste this, sick sweet warmth
I am Not Afraid Anymore
I want what you got in store
I'm ready to feed now, get in your seat now
And touch me like you never
And push me like you never
And touch me like you never
'Cause I am not afraid, I am Not Afraid Anymore
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
I am not ashamed anymore
I want something so impure
You better impress now, watching my dress now fall to the floor
Crawling underneath my skin, sweet talk with a hint of sin
Begging you to take me
Devil underneath your grin, sweet thing
But she play to win, heaven gonna hate me
And touch me like you never
And push me like you never
And touch me like you never
'Cause I am not afraid, I am Not Afraid Anymore
No no no
Crawling underneath my skin, sweet talk with a hint of sin
Begging you to take me
Devil underneath your grin, sweet thing
Bet you play to win, heaven gonna hate me
And touch me like you never
And push me like you never
And touch me like you never
'Cause I am not afraid, I am Not Afraid Anymore
No no no
Christian was moving against her body as she was rubbing against him. She put her back to him leaning into his chest with her arms around his neck. She thought his hands felt so damn good. He was on fire with her. He wanted her so fucking badly as she danced so damn sexy touching him and herself. He had his hands on her hips as he pressed her into his cock begging for release.
He whispered in her ear panting, "I swear to God I want to take you right here on this dance floor. You're so fucking sexy, Anastasia."
Ana turned around in his arms with her hands around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I want to be with you tonight, Christian. You are making me hot being so close to me. You feel so right when you touch me." He took possession of her mouth in a slow sexy kiss as his hands moved across her body.
They danced to faster songs like "S and M" by Rihanna and "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5. They went back to the table and noticed nobody was there. They looked down on the dance floor and saw Jose dancing with Mia. José was laughing and so was Mia as he was showing her a dance move and being silly about it. 'Elliot was dancing with… Gail?'
Ana looked at Christian and said, "What's he doing dancing with Gail?"
Christian smiled and shrugged saying, "I guess he wanted to dance too."
Next thing you know, Kate Kavanagh walks up to Elliott and Gail and rudely tries to cut in. She grabbed Gail's arm and pushes it away from Elliot.
Elliot shouted at her, "No!" Everyone was looking at them then.
Elliot apologizes to Gail saying, "I do sorry, Gail. Let me deal with this and I promise to dance with you some more." Gail smiled at him, patting his shoulder. She leaves into the crowd.
Elliot snatched Kate by the arm and yanked her off stage to the side. He spun her around and said angrily, "You leave me alone, Kate! We were through three years ago after I saw you at Kevin's house running a train of ten guys in a orgy in his fucking living room floor! I was only with you for a fucking week! You filthy nasty slut! You don't own me, you bitch! I told you time and time again that I don't ever want you back. Only when you found out after that week that I was a Grey did you change your tune. I guess I dodged that fucking bullet by not telling you my last name. I got tested for everything after that at the clinic for the next month. Take your nasty whoring self away from me and go run your orgy train of men somewhere far away from me!"
Kate had her mouth open in shock because he never told her that he saw her doing that. He never told her it was the reason why he broke up with her. She said gasping, "You were at Kevin's that night? They drugged me. Please, Elliot, believe me. It was all their doing."
Elliot shook his head and said, "Try again, bitch! You pulled a train at Marty's after party and Damon's pool party. Damon even got you the baby oil to take it in the backdoor. You're a nasty ass trick now get the fuck away from me and never speak to me again, touch me or I'll ruin the rest of your life!" Elliot went over to the bar and got a double shot of whiskey.
José came up with Mia and they stood on each side of him. Mia got two 'sex on the beach' shots for her and Jose. José said seriously, "I can't believe that whore still thinks she's all that in a pink puke dress with her nasty titties hanging out for everyone to see." The bartender set the shots in front of them.
Mia leaned her head on his shoulder said, hugging his arm, "Come on, Elliot, you know you've got real friends now." The three of them toasted to "Friends" and did their shots.
José said, being all caddy, "I'll just go ask my little Versace leather encased fairy god-girlfriend to kick her nasty ass while wearing a body condom. I bet that would be a fast performance cuz my girl has got it going on in the skills department." Elliot started laughing at that and Jose patted him on the back smiling.
José said, pulling on his arm, "Come on let's go back to the table. We know the bitch can't get in VIP
being you made sure the bouncers wouldn't stamp her or her stupid brother." Elliot grinned and nudged him. Jose laughed and they went upstairs to the table.
