I don't own fifty shades or the characters. They belong to E.L. James.
I probably won't take this story far unless people really like it. It's just something I thought of while my computer is getting fixed. I'm typing it on my phone so the chapters may be short and it may take longer to write the updates. No BDSM in here really. Ana's past is different from the book. The happy ever after will not be easy for CG and AS because of their pasts.
Summary: Christian Grey has everything he ever wanted, his business and even a potential sub lined up. Anastasia Steele is fresh out of college and has her whole future planned out. Yet their worlds collide for just one night and it changes them both. Is it for the best or the worst? Can they find each other again? They could be the one thing neither of them never knew they were looking for but always needed.
Chapter 1
Christians POV
"Christian."
I was lost in her beautiful blue eyes. They were unlike any I'd ever seen, they could see right through to my soul and for the first time in my life I liked that. "So...beautiful baby."
"More...Christian please."
I kissed her soft lips again as she moaned in pleasure. I started to move just a little bit faster inside her. She met me thrust for thrust and soon the only thing we could hear were our moans of pleasure. No words were needed. We came together each saying the others name. I rolled off her and lightly brushed her arm with my fingers. Beautiful, she is absolutely beautiful not just outside but inside too. She fell asleep almost instantly and part of me wanted to wake her up or at least move her to a guest room but I couldn't. There was something different about her. I wanted her to sleep with me, in my arms and in my bed.
"Christian."
I smiled as she mumbled my name in her sleep. I pulled her close to me and buried my head in her hair.
"CHRISTIAN!"
This time it wasn't the girl in my dreams talking. I groaned and sat up. "What the fuck do you want Elliot?"
He laughed. "One to tell you that once again this is MY apartment and MY couch your sleeping on. Two you do remember that you promised to come mini golfing with me, Kate and her roommate right? Three your phone is upstairs in your study charging, Gail said if anyone called the landline she'd take messages. "
Damn it. I had forgotten about that. I wasn't looking forward to it. It had been two weeks since I met Ana and I still couldn't find her. I had no picture to go by other than the one permanently seared into my memory and I never knew her last name. I had Welch looking for her but apparently there are hundreds of Anastasia's in this fucking state. I had no clue where to start. "Mini golf. Do I have to go?"
"Besides the fact that you promised me little bro what else are you going to do, sit in my apartment and kick yourself for not getting the girls last name? I think a night out would be good for you, you've been acting a little broody lately." Of course Elliot would put that in my face. I should have never told him about my first and only one night stand. Well at least he knows I'm not gay like he once thought.
I sigh and run my hands over my face. "Fine. What is her roommates name anyways?"
He shrugs. "Kate calls her hun, but I doubt that's her name. Kate hasn't said much about her other than she's pretty and has had a hard life. Kate doesn't tell people other peoples life stories so I can't tell you much. I know she doesn't trust people easy because Kate said it took nearly a year for her to open up to her. That must have something to do with her past I guess."
He's probably right about the trust issues. I have them too. except with Ana. I trusted her immediately. I walk to his small kitchen to get a cup of coffee. "Haven't you met the girl in person? You've been dating Kate for what two weeks now surely she's been home when you've been there."
He snorts. "You'd think that right? She's almost more of a work-a-holic than you Chris. She's always either at Barnes and Noble or keeps to her room on her computer. I heard her voice once when she told Kate to be careful when she said we were going clubbing. She sounded nice and cute."
She works at a bookstore. The world must be punishing me for not learning Ana's last name. Ana loves books especially the old ones like me. "This should be interesting then. I'll go get ready and meet you there."
"Laters bro! Try not to be broody!"
I wave my hand in the air as I exit Elliot's apartment. Broody, psh. Have I been broody? Fuck that, I don't do broody. I get in the elevator and push the button for the penthouse. It's a short ride considering Elliot only lives three floors beneath me. As the elevator opens I nod at Taylor as I walk through the lobby to the door.
"Be ready to leave in 2 hours Taylor. I'm going to play mini golf with Elliot, Kate, and her roommate."
"Yes sir."
I hear him follow me in the apartment and shut the door behind him. I grab the notepad off the bar so I know what calls to return. I go through the list easily. Ros she can wait I don't want to work now, Elena can wait as well I'm getting tired of her trying to set me up with subs, Welch I'll call him back now as she wrote important in big letters next to his name. I walk into my study and grab my cell phone off the charger. Welch answers on the third ring.
"Good morning Mr. Grey."
"Welch. You called?" Maybe I shouldn't have been that cold towards him but I still have those blue eyes in my head. Why do I care so much about this one damn woman? I only spent one fucking night with her.
"Yes sir. I think I may have found the Anastasia you are looking for."
I swallow the lump in my throat and grasp the phone harder. "Where?"
"Seattle sir. An Anastasia Steele has applied at SIP for an internship, since you are still in the process of purchasing it I couldn't find out anymore without hacking in. I wouldn't have said anything but you said your Anastasia liked books so-"
"Thanks Welch." I was aware I cut him off but this was at least something worth checking out. "Get me a background check on Anastasia Steele and I'll see if it's her."
"Yes sir. I'll fax everything to you by the end of the afternoon."
I hang up still in shock. Could this be my Ana? We didn't share our pasts or anything too personal but our dreams and our feelings for each other, that we had shared with each other. She had mentioned something about wanting to go into publishing, that had been one reason I was so determined to buy SIP. If I found her I could offer her her dream job. I walk to my bedroom still in shock and enter it for the first time in two weeks. I sat my wallet and phone on the table and sat on my bed to take off my shoes. Another memory came back.
I woke up when I felt the sun on my face. I also noted that it was my first night with no nightmares. I reached my arm out for the beautiful angel that slept next to me but found nothing.
"Ana?"
I sat up slowly when she didn't answer. I checked the bathroom, nothing. Kitchen, nada. She was gone. No note, no number, no goodbye. I walk back to the bedroom and sit on the bed with my head in my hands. "Ana. Ana. Ana. I didn't want just one night." I keep mumbling the same thing over and over. This isn't me. I don't do feelings. Fuck! Why am I having this problem?! I feel something for her and I know she felt it too. The electricity, the passion, adventure, dare I think it...the love between us. It was there in spades. I know it's Monday but hell she could have at least stayed for breakfast. I lay back down and grab the pillow she slept on. My phone buzzes and I read the text message.
I'm in the parking lot. I brought you breakfast. -Elena
I text her back telling her to leave because I'm sick. I don't want to see her she's been quite awkward lately. She's been acting like she was my girlfriend or something it makes me uncomfortable and somewhat sick. Maybe I should cut all my ties with Elena. Hell I already know no one will make me feel like Ana did.
After a deep breath I make my way to the shower. I close my eyes as the warm water falls over me. Ana. I still want her, her body and her heart. I thought she wanted the same. I was willing to give her all of me it was a new feeling but it felt right. I bathed mechanically and got dressed without thinking. White shirt, blue jeans, chuck taylors. Taylor was waiting in the parking garage next to the SUV.
Once we started driving I decided to actually ask the one question that was still bugging me. "Taylor have I been broody lately?"
He looks surprised when he meets my gaze in the rearview mirror. "Honestly, no more than any man would be sir. May I ask something that I've been wondering as well?"
"Of course Taylor." What could he want to ask me?
"I know you felt strongly for the girl and I don't mean to pry but did you take the security tapes for that evening and morning?"
His question catches me off guard. "No. Why do you ask?"
"I cannot find them sir. Sawyer or I must have misplaced them, I'll find them sir."
I nod and then exit the car as we have arrived at the golf park. Who knew it was so close to Escala? Maybe Elliot is right and I need to get out more. I walk around looking for my brute of a brother while pondering what Taylor had said. The security tapes were gone. Only three people in the apartment had access to that room...Taylor, Sawyer, and myself.
"Christian!"
I turned around and saw the blonde bombshell that was Kate Kavanaugh.
"Kate. Good to see you again. Is Elliot with you?"
"He's with Ana getting everything. They sent me to find you."
I stop listening when she says Ana. Damn I must be hearing things now. "Ana?" I have to ask. Please for fucks sake don't let me be losing my mind.
"Yes my roommate. Ana. She's right there." I follow her gaze and nearly fall to my knees.
My angel. My beautiful baby. Ana. She is standing in front of me and she gives me the biggest smile I've ever seen. It's beautiful.
"Christian?!" She runs to me and throws her arms around my neck.
I sigh into her hair. "Ana." I found my Ana and a whole new set of questions. Why did she leave without a word but is so excited to see me again? Does she still feel it? Will I lose her again? As if reading my mind she pulls back and looks me in the eyes. I can see that she still feels it.
"You never called me Christian. I thought you didn't want to see me again."
I look at her confused. "You didn't leave a number Ana. I woke up and you were just gone."
She shakes her head. "I'm sorry I had to open and I was going to be late. I left my number with the blonde that was in the living room. She said she was your business partner and that you had a breakfast meeting but that she'd give you my message."
Red. I see red. Elena. That fucking bitch. It all makes sense now. I didn't have a meeting with her but she was there anyway. Oh fuck the tapes! "I'm sorry I called my meeting off with her baby. I'm sure she just forgot to give it to me. I looked for you everywhere though. I missed you Ana."
She smiles and kisses my cheek. "I missed you too Christian. Shall we make up for lost time now and start the game?"
I nod. "Yeah. You go first I have to go tell Taylor to make lunch reservations because baby I plan on taking you out." I kiss her cheek and walk back to Taylor.
He straightens when he sees me. "Taylor call Sawyer and have him change the codes at Escala. It was Elena that took the tapes. I'll explain later. Oh and make reservations for 4 at my club."
I walk back to Ana and she greets me with a kiss. I could get used to this. I stand behind her with my arms around her waist while we watch Elliot and Kate play then it's time for Ana to play. Elliot comes to stand next to me and nudges my shoulder.
"No more broody I see. By the way prepare to get your ass kicked cause and I are going to own you and Ana bro."
I laugh as we watch Ana get a hole in one. "Pick your jaw up Lelliot and prepare to get owned by Ana and I." I pat his shoulder and go up to take my shot.
I got my girl back and this is just the beginning.
