Reunite

Chapter 22

We slowly pulled outside a skyscraper, Christian smiled and grabbed a pass out of his wallet. Out of nowhere a security guard who wore a vest of weapons paced towards the car and tapped on the window.

"Security is extremely serious here, reminds me of home.", He stated, he lowered the window and showed him this white pass. The security guard stared at Christian and back to the card, he nodded and said something into his radio.

"Welcome to The Shard, sir." He half smiled and continued. "Please, leave your car here and we will park it for you-", Christian immediately shook his head.

"I'd rather park it myself. Where can I park?", I glanced over at Christian and shook my head, he gripped the steering wheel and awaited the mans answer.

"Oh uh.", The man stuttered. "That's fine, it's just an option to our guests. Parking is straight ahead, I'll notify security there now.", Christian nodded and the window started rolling up as he slowly pulled away.

"Mr. Attitude, what's wrong with you?", He bit his lip and heavily sighed.

"Ever since the incident with Rory, I'm finding it so hard to trust and communicate with people. I don't know what is wrong with me, I just feel that everyone has a secret agenda against me.", My heart sank, seeing my bloodied Christian lying there on the floor while Rory wore his psychotic smile.

"I feel the same, I suppose the main thing is we trust each other right?", He nodded and parked the car perfectly.

"Why are we here?", I asked as he grabbed the bag out of the back of the car.

"I have a surprise.", He licked his lips ever so quickly, I giggled and intertwined my arm with his. I always thought he might shrug me off in public but ever since the incident with Rory it seemed like he didn't care anymore.

"You don't have to keep surprising me, you are enough.", He raised his eyebrows and smiled, we approached the reception and Christian slung the bag down.

"Afternoon. I'm here to pick up a card, I'm floor forty eight.", The receptionist wore a huge smile that looked like she'd been holding for 8 hours.

"Christian Grey.", Christian nodded and she continued to tap along on the keyboard, "Christian, may I see some ID please?", Christian quickly pulled his wallet out of his back pocket and handed it to the lady.

"Here.", She placed it next to the computer and gave it back, she stood up and turned around to face this huge draw.

"You are floor forty eight, apartment 10A.", I raised my eyebrows and Christian half smiled. "Elevator is just to your right.", I tried not to smile but couldn't contain my lips.

"Thank you.", He replied, he grabbed the bag and we made our way to the elevator.

"What's your plans?", He chuckled and placed his finger to his lip and hushed. We stood in the elevator and were joined by three other people, luckily.

We reached our floor within seconds, the elevator was the quickest I've ever been in! He placed the card on the reader and it buzzed green, he opened it slowly and allowed me to walk in first.

"Oh my god, Christian.", My mouth hung open.

The ceiling to the floor was all glass, the room overlooked London. I looked down and saw the River Thames and to my right to see Tower Bridge, just across the river was the Tower of London. Christian snaked his arms around my waist and was closer than ever before.

"You didn't have to do this for me.", Christian kept me close and hummed in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"Anastasia.", He hung the card in front of my face, I took it from his hands and turned around.
