Chapter 11// the morning of the meeting

Anas pov
The sun pokes through the curtains and shines onto my face . I keep turning away, moving positions even trying to hide my face but the light finds me . I groan and roll onto my back , ugh I have that meeting with jack today I shut my eyes even tighter trying to go back to sleep . It doesn't work . I sit up and start to stretch , I feel my arm click as I stretch them out . I carefully climb out of bed trying not to wake Christian. I check the time on my phone 6 am I'm up an hour before I need to I look around the room Hmm what can I do ? . I sigh and walk out of the bedroom . I walk into the great room when I realise I haven't worked out in ages . Before Christian everything was different . Almost dark .. my days didn't feel like separate days they felt like one day I was like a machine , I'd do the same things day in day out . I used to work out everyday then get ready for work , work hard while I was there come home have some dinner then do some more work then I would shower or bath depending oh how I felt but mostly shower as it was quicker then I would read a book till sleep overcame me . Sometimes sleep would overcome me and I'd have a nightmare or I just couldn't sleep this didn't happen a lot only when things play on my mind or when I'm really stressed out . Ever since me and Christian have become a thing I've slowed down and really started to enjoy my life . I'm so thankful.
Anyway , enough of the deep heavy thoughts this early in the morning time to get working out . I grab a cold bottle of warmer from the fridge and make my way down to the gym . I'm still in my silk nightie so I have to find some workout clothes luckily I keep some down here . I pull them on when I realise I should have left Christian a note to tell him I'm working out and haven't disappeared, oh it's fine I'll only be quick. I start to stretch my body I start at my neck and work my way down . I do some lunges to warm up my legs before I do some cardio . I walk over to the treadmill and turn it on . I put it on a medium speed making it go fast enough for me to jog . After twenty minutes on the treadmill, I climb off and go over to the leg machine and work on my legs for abit . I take a big gulp of my water and pull my self off the leg machine I wipe my sweaty forehead with a small towel . I walk out of the gym deciding thats enough for today . I slowly creep back into the bedroom and grab my phone off the bedside table . I press the middle button so it displays the time 7 am . I hop in the shower while Christian still asleep .

Christian's pov
He runs up to me screaming "where are you little shit" . I hear the familiar sound of metal clanking together . I scan the room for a place to hide , I see a little table and ugly patterned tablecloth Hmm perfect . My bare feet slap the cold dirty floor as I dash as quick as my little legs can take me . I pull back the table cloth my hands shaking and I I slide under . I make sure I can't been seen . And I wait . I hope and I pray he doesn't find me . My hearts racing , I can't breath properly and my palms are sweating like mad . "I'm coming" says the hoarse deep voice . I hear his heavy footsteps get closer, he can smell my fear .Bang ...bang ... bang . My breathing quickens even more if thats even humanly possible. I shakily bring my bony hand up to my face to cover my mouth making sure no noise got out . The footsteps sound even closer now . I squint my eyes and try to pretend I'm on a racetrack with loads of fast race cars . I'm going to drive the bright red one really fast .. my train of thought stops and crashes when I see his feet from out under the table cloth .theres no saving me know . I'm dead . He walks into the room even more and takes a drag from his cigarette blowing it up with a menacing smirk on his face . Oh no I know that smirk . His voice booms and makes if feel like the room is shaking " I know your in here brat !" . I whimper and squirm in fear . Uh oh I shouldn't of done that he slowly steps closer to the table . "If you want to play hide and seek kid go ahead but I'll find you" He booms again . I slide my feet back making my bony ribs and back against the wall I groan in pain . Ow that's going to make a bruise . Before I can notice he comes charging towards the table . He rips the table cloth of the table effortlessly and shots "I've got you now you little shit" . He grabs my tiny wrists and yanks me towards him I try and grab onto the table leg but it doesn't work it just makes him pull harder making me fly across the room . Luckily he still had my wrist so I didn't smack my head but my feet hit the concrete un carpeted floor my ankles smash onto the floor . Screech our in pain . He laughs a deep chesty laugh as he takes another drag from his cigarette. I try to look up at him but my neck doesn't move . " what am I going to do to you know ?" He says teasingly . The anticipation is killing me . Is he going to be beat me again or beat mum in front of me again while he screams naughty words at her. I squirm in his grasp , kicking at him . I use all my energy to try and kick him with my skinny little legs . I hit him once surprising him he looks down at me , stares into my soul with a look of pure evil . Before I can do anything else he takes his cigarette and presses it into my skin . It burns I scream in pain he just laughs and carys on all over my chest and a couple on my back . The more he burns me the more it hurts I scream till I can't scream anymore my throat , chest and back are all burning it feels like me body is in flames . I thrash around as he's loud laugh feels the room echoing, echoing and echoing.

I massage the sweet floral scented shampoo into my scalp as the warm warmer cascades over my body . I start to hum a happy little tune I've heard Christian play on the grand piano. When all of a sudden I hear him shout "no!" . I freeze panic take control. What's going on ? I thought he was sleeping. I snap myself out of my shocked trance dash out of the shower yanking my towel off the rack while rushing to Christians side . I fling the door open the connects the bathroom to our bedroom . I see him thrashing around in bed covered in sweat . I over to him and sit next to him , I grab his face with my shaky hands . " Christian, Christian wake up !" I say raising my voice . Is he having a nightmare ? Or sleep paralysis ? . I move my hands to his shoulders and shake him again repeating his name . His eyes open in a flash confusion etched on his gorgeous face . " w-w-hat happened, are you okay ?" He says his voice dripping with worry . "Christian I'm fine baby , I think you were having a harrowing nightmare" I say as I let out a sigh of relief, I was worried he wouldn't wake up . I take my hand of his shoulders and move my feet from under my but so I'm sat straddling him . He looks at me I eye and shakes his head dismissively " it's fine Ana I'm awake now okay ?" He says as he cresses my cheek . I lean up to his lips and kiss them , he bites my bottom lip begging for entrance . I let him lip his tounge in my mouth what started out as an innocent kiss has turned into a lustrous primal make out session . He try's to pull down my towel and start to torture my nipple but pull back stopping him . " what was the nightmare about ?" I ask him inquisitively knowing he's wants to / is trying to avoid. " it's just some demons from the past making a reappearance, don't worry about it" he says kissing my forehead as he gets up and makes his way into the shower . I sigh , I wish he'd tell me what it was about I remember one time he told me he gets nightmares just leaving out what they're about .

We were sat having lunch on a rooftop restaurant outside on a sunny Seattle day after a hard day of meetings. " you look really tired today is everything okay ?" I say as I sip my white wine . He shifts his gaze from the view to my face " Yes everything's fine , I just couldn't sleep last night" he said as he picks up his glass and takes a long sip . I reach my hand across the table and take his hand in mine a friendly gesture and look at him " Christian you know you can tell me , I'm here for you I'm your friend" I say flashing him my sweet smile .

I walk into my closet to pick out an outfit for the day .
