While Anastasia sleeps, I shower and get dressed ready to go to my parents' house for dinner. It seems such a shame to wake her because she looks so sweet and peaceful, but with just half an hour to go until we have to leave, I have no option.
I gently kiss her temple, but she doesn't wake, so I trail gentle kisses over her face until she stirs, but she just moans and burrows back into her pillow.
"Anastasia, wake up," I gently cajole her.
"No," she moans.
"We have to leave in half an hour for dinner at my parents," I remind her. I smile because she looks so rumpled and grumpy and just plain adorable.
Reluctantly she opens her eyes.
"Come on sleepyhead. Get up." I lean down to kiss her again. She is utterly irresistible with those big blue sleepy eyes. "I've brought you a drink. I'll be downstairs. Don't go back to sleep, or you'll be in trouble."
I put down the drink of cranberry juice and sparkling water, then leave her to get up and get ready.
I've already had a phone call earlier from Mia, making sure that I'm still coming over and definitely bringing Anastasia with me. I've also had a phone call from Elliot too.
"Hey dude, how's it going? You are bringing Ana over to Mom's this evening aren't you? You know I'm bringing Kate too?"
"Yes, and yes," I reply succinctly. Of course I know he'll have another reason for calling.
"Cool. So... umm... everything going okay, you know, between you and Ana?"
"Fine, thanks." I'm smiling to myself as I'm thinking about our first scene in my playroom today, and somehow my brother picks up on this. They say you can hear a smile in someone's voice.
"Ah, right, glad to hear it. Because... you know... all joking aside, Ana's your first girlfriend and you're her first boyfriend, so ..."
"Elliot, just don't..." I quickly try to shut him down, horrified by where I think he's going with this.
"No, hear me out will you? Look, I know you don't usually like to talk to any of us about personal shit, but as your big brother I want you to know, in all seriousness, that you can always come to me for any kind of help or advice about the sex stuff. I mean, obviously you know what goes where, but as you're just starting out on your first relationship, let me tell you little bro, there is so much more to it than that. With all the experience I've had, I can give you all sorts of tips and advice about things like the best positions for a really great fuck, and kinky little tricks that'll help make up for your lack of experience with the ladies."
"Elliot, just shut the fuck up will you!"
"It's okay, Christian, no need to be embarrassed. You're just a bit of a late starter I guess, but I'm sure you'll soon make up for lost time now you've found a great girl like Ana. I'm just glad you finally realized there's more to life than working and empire building."
