A Shadow Of Doubt

Mia Grey

Mia
I found out that Anastasia Steele is dating Christian from one of Christian's ex whatever's. I mean I saw the photos and the comments about Anastasia, but I met her she is nothing like what they implied. I can't get Christian to tell me anything and Anastasia just says they are friends at this point. Elliott has been keeping his dating more private after a few things happened. Like seeing Christian's date all over the place.
Christian
Mia and I don't talk much and it is rare that she comes bouncing into my office, but she did today bringing lunch. She failed to ask me if I had plans for lunch. Anastasia came in five minutes afterward and we all had lunch together. Hard to make Mia leave when she wants the information on her brothers sex life or lack of in this case. I have kept Anastasia under wraps for now.
Anastasia
Christian invited me over for lunch at his office and unfortunately Mia show3d up for lunch with him as well. So our lunch plans were thwarted by her presence. Christian just shrugged his shoulders and we all sat and ate our food. We kissed each other's cheeks and Mia drug me out of Christian's office. So we didn't get to be alone to talk and make out.
Christian
I called Anastasia and told her to join me for dinner after Mia intruded on our lunch date. I asked Gail to prepare a nice dinner for two and some light desert. I have a play list ready and plan on dancing with Anastasia on my patio. I had Gail and security set up a cozy area to eat and see the stars. The music is ready to go the patio has it's own sound system.

The detective has informed me that her so called friend James Douglas was found dead in his apartment. They had suspected him of raping Anastasia and he had. The DNA came back matching his. I suspect he also helped whoever drugged Anastasia. They have no idea what happened to him. But they found a needle under the sofa close to where his body whoever did it was careless. They are running all kinds of tests on his body and the needle. It apparently wasn't the only needle after they looked closely a needle was stuck in his arm, but his clothing was wrapped around it from fighting with his assailant. I just hope dr Smith doesn't get involved in this again. We probably would have discovered at some point that James raped Anastasia, but we don't have proof of him drugging her or Carla. He couldn't possibly be two places at once. The guy we were told to stop investigating comes to mind as someone involved in all these things.
Anastasia
I bring an overnight bag and condoms just in case I need it. I have the codes to get into the garage. Then I have the elevator codes. I am very nervous about tonight.
Christian
I get him and Gail tells me everything is ready for tonight and smiles at me. I tell her I will shower and then she and Jason can have the night off.
Gail
Everything is ready the food is in the warmer and the desert is in the freezer. I chilled two bottles of wine the ones you asked for. I tell him goodnight and Jason and I head to our part of the apartment.
Jason
I hope he keeps this one, she is a nice lady. We head to our apartment. I have plans for Gail tonight as well. We hardly have had time together. As soon as I could we got married. My ex wife had no idea that I was dating Gail. We kept it very quiet. She was cheating on me with every man she could. We are trying to get Sophie her full time because of her new husband. We have proof he has hurt Sophie. Carrick says it will take a week or so to get her back here to Seattle. We will be getting full custody after that CPS has her in foster care and now they are reviewing the case and my ability to care for her. Now that we are both married my wife Gail and I can prove she will be taken better care of by both of us.
Christian
I finally get dressed and just as the doorbell rings I head towards it. I see her standing there with what looks like an overnight case. I take her things and her hand and head her to the living room. I excuse myself to take the case to my bedroom. I am being presumptuous, but an overnight bag gives me ideas. I like the ideas I have going around in my mind right now. Her laying naked and waiting for me on my bed. Begging me to touch her and other things.
Anastasia
He takes my things and puts them someplace in the apartment. He leads me to the kitchen and he places things on a cart and he rolls it out on the patio at a small table with a lit candle on it. The lighting is enough to see our food and drink. He serves our meals and the wine. He sits next to as we eat talk and look at the stars. He turns on the music. Now this is very romantic. One carnation in a bud vase and two enclosed candles on the table.
Christian
I feel for the condoms in my pocket to make sure they are there. I spot the pillows and covers I asked for placed neatly on the lounge area. I am glad I thought of buying those after Elliott said it would be a fantastic place to have sex and no one would see anything. I am getting excited just thinking that Anastasia and I might be having sex here tonight. I adjust myself and smile at Anastasia as she tells me to compliment Gail on the food.
Anastasia
He went to a lot of planning for this dinner. I notice the pillows and blankets on the lounge area. I can think of ways to enjoy that area.
