You & Me

CPOV

She loves me!! Fuck up little old Christian Grey. How did I get so lucky?!

I look up and she tears start flowing down her face and she quickly stands up and walks towards the opening. Where is the hell she going? Fuck, she is taking my pause as I don't love her too. Fix this Grey!

"Wait" I grab her arms and swing her around.

"Where do you think you're going?" She still hasn't looked up at me and is trying desperately to pull her arm from mine.

"Look, I realize I just ruined this relationship... Or whatever this was to you but I just couldn't stand not telling you how are truly felt. Please let me go so I can at least leave with some dignity." She tries one last time to pull away but I pull her into my chest and kiss her with as must passion as I can. I hope she can feel how much I love her too.

"Chris.." she moans

"Ana, please don't leave me. I'm sorry it took so long but you caught me by surprise. I can't believe someone like you could love someone like me." I feel her hand cup my cheek.

"You are the most amazing man I've ever meet and I couldn't be more proud to love you and watch you become the success I know you'll become."

"I love you so much, Ana." I sigh as I lean my forehead against hers.

"You've changed my life in more ways than one. I never thought that showing up at Toys that night would change everything I thought about life and love. She gasps and I pulled her onto my lap and we made out. Only the voices of my brother brought us out of our bubble.

"Yo Bro, what the fuck you doing up there?" Elliot hollered which caused Ana to burst with laughter.

"I thought this was your own secret treehouse that no one knew about?" Ana asks when Elliot climbed through the doorway.

"He can't keep anything secret from me, Ana Banana. Plus I might have discovered this place with a few chicks." I groan and shack my head.

"Once a man whore, always a man whore." My brother throws me a glare before sitting next to us.

"So Ana, how old is your sister?" Oh lord

"Nope, you will have to do all the legwork yourself. Just know that you break her heart she'll break your nuts and then Liam and I will break everything else." She busts out laughing when El grabs his balls.

"Well... I I'm gonna go." Elliot hops down the treehouse still protecting his balls. I couldn't hold back my laughter anymore.

"Okay, now that he's gone we need to get back to my question. Are you not coming back to Cambridge with me? What was the whole point of us getting an apartment together if you're staying here?" I ramble but I just don't understand.

"Well I was telling you my plans but you started to freak out on me. I talked to my dad and we put in an offer to buy the company but the CEO isn't ready to admit the doors will be closing in the next 3 to 4 months. I am still going to focus on at least finishing the next semester at Harvard. My dad agreed that if we are able to buy this company he will oversee the transition. The entire building needs to be torn down and rebuilt and also I want to take my time creating the environment for my publishing house. So, no I am not leaving you or Harvard right now. Oh, this is for you, here." I'm still trying to calm my heart down. She isn't leaving me. We have at least another 6 months in Cambridge together.

I take the envelope and open it to find a check for 250,000. Inside there is a message from Ana.

I believe in you more than anything in this world. You are gonna change the world and I couldn't be more proud to sit next to you an watch it happens. I love you, Ana.
