Fifty Shades After

Chapter 22

Christian POV

I have just basically asked Ana to move in with me....I am watching her facial features as she thinks about this. Her mind is fascinating. Pondering the thought of moving in with me. "Well, actually I have thought of this since you asked in your letter. I have been torn either way, we haven't known each other long and we broke up and haven't spent much time together since. But also when I am around you, I feel complete, whole, at peace. So the answer to your question is yes, once Flynn clears me, I will move in with you". With her words my heart soars, she said yes. "Oh babe, you don't know how happy you have made me. Do you have a thought as to when Flynn will clear you"? "Well, when we left your place a few days ago, he mentioned like 2 weeks. But I think I have been progressing well, so who knows. I have found that dealing with the past can help the future". As Ana is speaking I hear her phone ping. Taylor notices and she hands it to him to check. "Its a new phone, I haven't really figured out how to use it yet". I chuckle at this, its too cute. Taylor walks back over and informs Ana of what the message was. They communicate to where I can not hear what is being said. I try not to take it personally but its very hard.  Taylor walks away with her phone still in his hand. "Sorry about that Christian, I got a message from Flynn, apparently he needs to see me today....something about receiving something for me at his office and he wants to be there for me when I receive it". "Thank you for telling me, I know its not easy to be open with everything. I appreciate it". "Well, my dear I want us to work and I believe in one of our letters it was mentioned open communication is the key to our relationship working"? "So true baby, so true". We finish our lunch and start to get ready to leave. I walk Ana out to Taylor's car, pull her back towards me "Would you mind if I gave you a hug before you go back"? "Of course you can Christian, thank you for preparing me" I lean over and gently hug my girl. She feels so good in my arms, I turn my head into her neck and drink in her aroma. She softly moans and I begin to lose control, I turn my head and kiss her gently, so if she isn't comfortable, she can turn away. Her lips touch mine and I am lost in her. We gently kiss for a minute and things begin to become more urgent, passionate. I pull away before we get swept away. I rest my forehead against hers and breathe heavily. "I have missed that Christian" she mutters, "Not as much as me baby, and even though I want this to go further, I do not think right now it is a good idea....but just wait till you move in with me in 2 weeks, we will blow the roof off of Escala". She giggles "Promises promises.....tease" "This is a promise I intend to keep baby" I open her door and help her in. "You know, if you want you can call me, I won't stalk you for your location, I can practicing patience, but there are times I would love to hear your voice as opposed to just reading your words". She nods and before I close the door, I reach into my coat and hand her one of my t shirts "Just trying to keep me in your dreams" "Babe, your always there and Ill explain more the next time we talk". I shut her door and she blows me a kiss before they leave. I feel so much lighter and hopeful than I have since she went on this "retreat". It took everything in me not to call them out for staying at moms but there has to be a reason for the secret. I head back to work with a smile on my face.

Ana POV

"Did Flynn give you any idea what the letter was about"? "None, just that he received it over night mail, it was address to you and he thought it would be best if he were present when you opened the letter". The only letter I can think it would be is from my mother, and now I am nervous and scared to read it. We reach the Grey's mansion and see Flynn exiting his car at the same time. I wave at him and he reciprocates. As we walk into the house, Grace walks towards us in greeting, but sees Flynn and goes towards the kitchen. We sit on the couches and Taylor takes his customary place by the door. "So what is this urgent letter you received for me"? "Well I am not sure, it was over night mail, addressed to you, and I believe only your mother knows to contact you through me and it is from Georgia so because of the nature of the letter you sent, I thought it was important you get it now, also I wanted to be here with you just in case it isn't good". I nod in agreement and take the envelope with shaking hands.
