Reunite

Chapter 10

It was three weeks exactly being back in New Jersey, I was thrown back in the deep end as soon as I came back. First, work was just crazy. Constant paperwork and endless emails and phone calls, to then add more pressure I had to organise the huge event where all our leads and top managers were attending.

"Ana!", My head snapped up and looked at my boss who came speeding round the corner.

"Julie.", I nodded, she folded her arms and heavily sighed.

"I need those folders done, the meeting has been brung forward and Catherine isn't in work today. I need them at three o'clock.", She scuttled off in a huff and o felt the weight on my shoulders get heavier.

After working for two hours straight I wheeled away from my desk and shut my eyes.

"Ana, wake up!", I opened my eyes slowly and there was Alisha, she was beaming.

"I have just worked for two hours none stop, my fingers won't type anymore.", I stated, she sat in front of me on my desk.

"Ok, you clearly need to get away from this place. Let's go to Roma for lunch.", I slouched in my chair and yawned.

"I can't, trunchball Julie needs me to finish her business folder for her meeting.", She sniggered and shook her head.

"Since when have you been doing her work?", She questioned.

"Since Catherine isn't in. I really can't today Alisha, another time.", I said.

"You say that every time or the other excuse is your with Rory.", She stated.

"I will go to lunch with you but not today.", She heavily sighed and walked away, I moved back to my desk and started thinking.

I had only heard from Christian once since I came back, he called me two weeks ago but I didn't answer. I had to think what I was doing, I came back to sort things with Rory and then maybe go back to him. Would he even take back? I had done this to him two times now.

I decided to ring him, I grabbed my phone and dialled his number. I waited for him to pick up but nothing, I dialled once more but again he didn't answer. I heavily sighed and started working again, I sipped some coffee and began typing but was distracted as my phone rang.

"Hello.", I cleared my voice and half smiled.

"Anastasia", I shut my eyes as I heard his voice, it just made me feel at home. "Sorry for missing your call, I was in a meeting. How are you?", Christian, questioned.

"If your busy don't worry.", He quickly interrupted.

"Miss. Steele. I haven't spoken to you since you left, I'm sure a few meetings can be moved. Answer my question, how are you?", I licked my lips and eventually smiled.

"Well, I feel privileged Grey. I'm ok, I'm caught up in work and with the event.", I heavily sighed and slouched once again.

"Well, Anastasia. If you were here I'm sure I could release some tension.", I instantly blushed and jolted forward in my chair.

"Christian! You cannot do that.", I consciously looked around and kept my head down.

"Long distance doesn't stop me affecting you. At least we both know I can still make you wet from here.", I jumped up and took the elevator to the lobby.

"Your not playing fair!", I angrily whispered.

"If you were here, God. I would savour every piece of you or I could be where you are.", he said huskily.

"You can't come here.", I panicked, he sighed and chuckled.

"What if I said I'm in town because of meetings.", I began pacing.
