Reunite

Chapter 52

I couldn't breathe. My throat was constricted and I felt like I was gasping for air, I need air. I opened my eyes and suddenly a pair of strong hands were clasped around my neck, taking away my last breaths. I grabbed his forearms and tried to push him away but he wouldn't stop, he straddled me and pushed down on my throat even harder. It was unbearable, I gasped and gasped but the choking became worse. I couldn't talk, I wanted to shout for help and get out of here.

"You fucking bitch. You ruined my fucking life. Now I'm going to take yours and ruin fucking Christian's.", He screamed. Shivers ran down my spine, that cold voice was familiar.

The darkness in the room gradually got lighter, the sun peaked through the blinds and shone on the attackers face. I clenched his clothing tightly and he finally let go of my throat, I coughed and was very light headed.

"Rory?", I gasped.

"Goodbye, Anastasia.", He whispered. He clenched his fist and I felt it crash into my face, I screamed and opened my eyes.

"Anastasia, baby!", Christian's voice alarmed me. I panted hard and suddenly fell out of bed, I hit my head on the bedside cabinet and hit the floor hard. I laid on the floor and held my forehead, I looked up and Christian stood looking worried.

"Bad dream.", I stated, I rubbed my head and Christian cradled me in his arms like a baby. He put me on the bed and heavily sighed, he stroked my face and eventually spoke.

"I can see that, Ana. Look at you. You are shaken up and will have a bruise on your head, what was your dream about?", I gulped.

"Rory. He strangled me until I could barely breathe, I was begging for air but he had too much strength. I was just about to lose unconsciousness but he let go and I couldn't stop coughing, he said more things and punched me then I woke up...on the floor.", He grabbed my hand and I felt shivers run down my spine.

"It's ok, remember it's a dream. His locked away in a cell and is deserving every minute he spends in there, I'm here for you, Ana.", He kissed just above my new bruise and stood up.

"Thank you.", I stated, I kissed him softly and rested my cheek against his.

"Baby, we are celebrating our engagement today so can we lighten the mood a bit.", He chuckled and in a Christian way became serious very quick. "I'm worried though, Ana. I don't like you having this repeated dreams, I think you should tell Grace.", I shook my head in disagreement immediately. Grace was my therapist after the situation with Rory, I hadn't seen her in around two months because I needed to move on.

"I'm not going back.", I sighed heavily.

"Anastasia.", I interrupted him quickly.

"No, I said no. I'm not going backwards, Christian.", I stated.

"Anastasia, you are clearly experiencing-"

"Stop! Just stop.", He rubbed his forehead roughly and his nostrils flared, I got up and walked to the window, I watched the cars.

"I'm going for a run. Kate and Elliot will be here in three hours, you better get ready.", He grabbed his phone off the side and stormed out slamming the door hard trying to make a statement.

I sat deep in my own thoughts, why were these nightmares coming back? I thought I was getting better. I jumped when I heard my mobile ring, I sighed and grabbed my phone.

"Ana! The day is here, I'm so excited.", I could almost imagine her beaming, I half smiled and began to stroll around like I always do when I'm on the phone.

"Me too.", I stated.

"Well, tell your voice that!", She giggled. "Ana, you and Christian are ready right? Don't forget your speech.", I laughed.

"My speech?", I felt my heart rate quicken, I hated public speaking, was always a weakness.

"Your couple speech, it'll be nice. Me and Elliot have ours planned, I thought I mentioned this last night at the rehearsals.", I frowned.

"I don't remember you saying anything about a speech.", I stated.

"Because you don't listen. If it's easier say what comes to your head, might be better! I need to start getting ready, time is ticking! We will be round soon!", The line went dead, I sighed and chucked my phone on the bed.

I yawned and the bedroom door opened and slammed hard, I gasped as I turned around.

"I'm not running away from the problems we may have, literally not running away. I'm your fiancée, Ana. I'm meant to care for you, if you aren't sleeping or you have him on your mind then you need to talk to someone or talk to me.", I lightly sighed and his shirt was soaked.

"You know I have my own mind, Christian. I hate being told what to do.", I wiped my face in frustration and he took a deep breath and smiled.

"You sure you want to marry me then?", I sighed and eventually laughed in defeat, he kissed my cheek and we laid down on the bed. "I'm sorry if I am pushy, it's just the way I am and you should know the way I work by now.", He rested his head on my chest and I ran my fingers through his hair.

"I'm sorry too. It's just the way I am. Anyway, it's our engagement party tonight so we have to write a speech.", I stated.

"Already written, I'll do the talking, baby.", He sat up and pulled his t shirt off, I rubbed his back and he turned around slowly.

"How did you know to write a speech?", I asked.

"Kate said last night, were you even listening?", He questioned with a small smirk on his lips.

"Probably not, she was so excited last night with the rehearsals so it was hard to keep up with the conversation.", He kissed my forehead and intertwined our hands.

"Join me?", He asked.

"Where?", Playroom?

"The bath.", He kissed my lips slowly and pulled back. "You are so irresistible, future Mrs. Grey.", He kissed me again and he passionately against my lips.
