Ana's POV

Three months have gone by since Elliot proposed to Kate at our family dinner. They have yet to set a date on when the wedding will be, but I know for a fact that Kate wants a summer wedding somewhere on a beach.

The paparazzi had gone crazy when the news of their engagement went public. At one point, Kate couldn't get into the luxury gated community that she lives with Elliot because they were swarmed with paparazzi. Since that happened, Christian advised Kate to get security around her at all times and Kate actually obliged. She wasn't too keen on getting security because she finds all of this flattering but after that incident she decided that it would be in her best interest if she was to get security to help her.

I know exactly how she feels because when Seattle found out that the most eligible bachelor has a girlfriend the paparazzi got just as wild. Kate emails me articles on the internet stating fake rumors about me from me being pregnant with Christian's child or the fact that I am probably in this relationship because I am a gold digger. All of this makes me laugh hysterically, I mean people actually get paid to make up all of these fake rumors.

At one point, Ray called me about one of those rumors. He thought that I was hiding the fact that I was "pregnant" from him. I reassured him that I wasn't and that whatever he is hearing about me is 100% false.

When Christian sees these articles, he goes completely crazy. He gets on the phone with all those gossip rags and he makes them pull the stories off. And they do so in a matter of minutes, but they continue to write complete bullshit.

"Baby, I am sorry that you have to deal with this. Im doing the best I can to shield you from all of this, but these fuckers still find ways to make up rumors." Christian told me one day at breakfast.

"Its alright. That's what happens when a young billionaire ends up having a girlfriend."I say with a smile.

In other news, Christian's brain child a.k.a the online publishing website was unveiled to the public a few weeks ago. The public already has access to it and I must say that it has become a success. Who would have thought that it would be such a success? As an editor, I 've gotten used to doing everything with the actual manuscript in my hand, but with that it takes time. With this publishing website, it doesn't take that long to be finished with the manuscripts and the people who upload their manuscripts get their finished product in a matter of a day.

Im supposed to help Mia move in with Ethan today. I arrive early to the Grey Manor in sweats and a baggy t-shirt ready to help.

"Thank you so much for your help Ana. I asked Elliot if he can help me, but he declined for some unknown reason. " Mia says as she gives me some garment bags.

"I am sure he is just busy, Mia. Like Christian, he does have a company to run." I tell her.

Mia goes on to gush about how Elliot offered Ethan a job at Grey Construction. Ethan managed to graduate early from Harvard with his degree in architecture and apparently was delighted to accept the job offer from Elliot.

Once Mia's room is all cleared out except for the furniture, we pack the brown boxes into the back of her Audi suv and head to her new home. According to Mia, she will keep the furniture in her room and maybe donate a few of the pieces that she doesn't need

After saving up money, Ethan managed to buy a nice condo in Seattle. It wasn't big or luxurious as Christian's, but it was still nice in its own little way.

We realize after we have put away Mia's wardrobe that we are starving.

"There is a nice Chinese takeout place nearby that someone recommended to me not too long ago." Mia says.

We end up ordering to-go, know that if we were to eat in we would be swarmed with paparazzi and have no security to help us if anything happens.

The food arrives and it is gone in a matter of minutes.

"Ana, I must say, you are like a sister that I never had." Mia says as we clean up the dinner table.

I smile when she says that. Over the course of my relationship with Christian, Mia has always been very supportive and I can tell that she is very happy that Christian is finally in a good relationship with someone.

Since my work there is done, Mia drives me back to Escala where I spend the other half of my day doing some publishing work on the website.

Its around 6 o'clock when I get a text from Christian.

Im sorry baby, but I have a conference call with the people in Dubai and I won't be home until later.*C

Now that Christian's website has gone public, he can finally focus on other business ventures. He has been trying to invest in some high rises in Dubai for a while now and only recently has he managed to get into contact with the people there.

No worries. See you later.*A

Gail asks me what I want for dinner and I am about to decide on what I want when the elevator that leads to our penthouse opens and in walks in Kate. She is dressed nice in a black and white jumpsuit with black heels. Well this is unexpected.

"Kate, what are you doing here?" I ask her after I hug her.

"Well, Elliot is working late to do on some project and I have nothing to do so I decided to stop by and see if you were doing anything this evening." She explains to me.

"Christian has a conference call back in GEH, so he won't be back until later. So the answer to your question is no." I tell her.

"Great. I have just the place where we can go. I need you to dress cute." Kate says.

"Where exactly are we going?" I ask her.

"You will see when you get there. " She tells me.

She heads upstairs with me in order to give me some fashion advice.

After a few minutes of browsing my closet, Kate finds a dark red bandage dress.

"Ana, this is the one."She tells me. I trust Kate's judgment and I put it on in a heartbeat.

I look in the mirror to see how it looks on me and I am blown away on how perfect it is. I pair the dress with black stilettos and a black clutch. I decide to just let me hair down and wear only a minimal amount of makeup.

We head down the elevator and into her car.

I immediately pull out my phone and am about to text Christian about my where I am going when Kate tells me there is no need to.

"Christian is well aware about where we are going." She tells me.

This sparks my curiosity even more and I am wondering where we are headed. We pull into the valet parking of some fancy looking place. Kate gives the valet guy her key and I follow her to wherever we are going.

Once we are in an elevator, going up an X amount of floors, it is only then that I realize that we are in the Seattle Needle. But why?

We reach our floor and the elevator opens to a restaurant. We walk right by the hosts as if they don't exist. When we walk into the restaurant, I see the Grey family. There is someone playing the violin. All the tables When they see me, everybody turns my way. Out of the group walks out, Christian looking sexy as ever in a black suit. He walks toward me and takes my hands into his.

"Christian, I thought you had a conference call with the people in Dubai." I say to him.

"I know and I am sorry I lied to you. I already reached I deal with them yesterday. " He tells me.

Then why did he lie?

"I remember the day we met,Ana. You were Elliot's girlfriend and I dated Kate. I came to your apartment to pick up Kate. It was a day like any other. But when you opened the door for me, everything changed from that moment. I remember that for a moment I forgot how to speak. It wasn't after our double date that I realized that I wanted to be with you. I have gotten to know you since then and I have fallen in love with you. Ana, you have brought light into my world. You made me believe in love; something that I never really thought about until I met you. I know that I may be rich, but money doesn't make me happy. You make me happy." Christian gets on one knee in front of me and pulls out a red box out of his pants pocket.

"Anastasia Rose Steele, would you marry me?"

Say what now?

I feel tears streaming down my face, but these tears are happy ones.

I have lost the ability to speak.

"Well?" Christian asks.

"Yes." I say. I walk up to my man as he puts on the stunning engagement ring. It is from Cartier, cushion cut and probably the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.

Once he puts the ring on my finger, I wrap my arms around him and give him a kiss.

"You're not mad at me?" He asks.

"Not at all."I say with a smile.

Grace and Carrick and everyone else have surrounded us, congratulating us with hugs and kisses.

It turns out that Mia knew about this all along.

"Ana, you do not know how hard it was for me not to tell you when you were helping me move." She says as she gives me a hug.

"Well I am glad that you didn't say anything. This was a lovely surprise." I tell her.

The rest of the evening is celebratory with lots of drinking and eating. I am still in a state of shock because all of this was unexpected.

As I admire my ring in the light of the restaurant, I smile as I think about my future with Christian Grey.

Please Review!

I decided that I will write another story that will be a sequel to this one. It will be about Ana and Christian; their wedding day and beyond as well as Kate and Elliot's wedding :D
