Reunite

Chapter Six

I awoke slowly to the sunlight peaking through the small gap of the cream curtains. I turned my head and noticed Christian wasn't there, I rubbed my eyes and gradually woke up.

I reached over to check my phone and noticed I had a missed call from Rory, I heavily sighed and rung him.

"Sorry missed your-"

"I cannot talk. I've got the boys round, speak later.", He hung up the phone immediately. I chucked my phone on the side and realised I was still in my clothes from yesterday, I strolled from the bedroom into the living area and noticed it was peaceful.

I walked to the fridge and grabbed a fresh orange juice before sitting down on the sofa to turn my attention to the news.

The elevator doors pinged open distracting my attention from the news then bundled in Christian.

"Hey", I said, he smiled as he placed his bag down and slowly walked over to me.

"Good morning, Anastasia.", He sat down on the opposite couch and smiled, I turned the TV off.

"Where you been?"

"Sorted a few things at the office and then went to see my father.", I nodded as he scratched his head.

"How is he?", I questioned.

"His finding it tough, I just need to be there for him."

"And you?", He took a deep breath.

"Fine.", He answered, he really didn't know that I could read him well.

After a few minutes of silence I decided to make sure we were clear on things last night, I kept replaying the events in my head over and over again. Did I cheat on Rory? I kept asking that question to myself.

"Can we talk like adults?", I asked, he gazed at me before slowly nodding.

"We can try.", I slightly smiled and straightened my posture.

"Look last night, we were both caught up in the emotional battle. It was tough and we both needed someone to turn too-", He chuckled stopping me mid sentence.

"Miss Steele.", He finished laughing and continued, "We didn't sleep together!"

"It was going that way! Please, I have a boyfriend.", I stated, firmly.

"I know you have a boyfriend.", He continued as he stood up, "I'm sorry, I'll keep my hands to myself. Now that's all clear can we do something?"

"Go for a walk and coffee?", He nodded.

The air was crisp but it was a rare clear beautiful day in Seattle, I wrapped my scarf around my neck as we strolled to the coffee shop.

"That wasn't a one way situation last night, Anastasia."

"Christian, we have already-", I tried to talk but again was cut off.

"No, I'm not being the bad guy. You kissed me back, Ana. It wasn't a heat of a moment thing, it was too passionate.", I dropped my head.

"I'm sorry. It was a mistake, I got caught up in it."

"Whatever you say.", He stated as we walked into the coffee shop.

We rarely did this when I was his submissive, I got the reasons why as I was only his submissive...nothing more.

We spoke long about who I was now working for and what I had been up too, he never took his eyes off me when I spoke. He seemed so deeply interested in my personal life which I wasn't used too with Rory.
