Love And Hate A Gideon Cross Love Story

Chapter 33

I'd  come to the realization  that I needed to speak to someone about what happened , someone I can be completely open and honest with. Christian .

I decided it was important enough for me to cancel yet another day of work , which isn't like me at all, but it had to be done ,  for far too long  I've pushed back my emotions and instead of dealing with them as I should , I allow  them to have power over me , until  I completely explode and succumb to a darkness so deep it scares me.

After inwardly battling with myself  over when to call Christian  , I decided  to just text him.

"Hey are you busy?"

I got a response  within seconds.

"Of course I'm busy , never too busy for you , what's up?"

" I need to see you, it's  really important, and I need you , our spot next 20?"

" See you soon ."

I asked Dave  to take me home ,  I wanted to do this alone , the drive home was a lot shorter than I expected. I hopped into the elevator. I needed a few things.

I grabbed a pair of jeans and a hoodie,  and an old T-shirt , some underwear and a swimsuit , just in case . I threw it into a bag, and headed out the door ,I asked Dave  , Taylor and Ross to stay at the house in case Gideon came home early. If he did they were to tell him that I was in an impromptu  meeting that required me to be out of town for the night .

I got  into  my BMW i8, and sped out of the underground parking garage .  I called Christian  to let him know I was  on my way .

"Hey  , I'm leaving now"  I said to him

"Why don't  you come to my place and we can leave together?" He suggests.

I agreed and changed my route.

I arrived at Christian's  in 25 minutes, I parked my car ,and  found him awaiting my arrival , he had also packed an overnight bag , just in case.

I walked towards him and threw my arms around his neck , he  slid his hands around my waist  and tightened his grip around me. He placed his chin on the top my head before bending down to place a chaste kiss on my cheek .

"How are you?" He asked , sounding genuinely  concerned.

I smiled , and answered him as honestly  as I could, "I'm  exhausted Christian..."

He understood , I don't  know what it was , but after his breakup with Anna , we've  grown closer in the sense that we've  become an integral part  of each other's  lives.

He took my hand,  and my bag , and walked towards his car , he opened the door for me , and placed the bags in back.

He looked at me and said something I'd  been wanting to hear this entire time , he looked at me and said to me that everything will be okay. I needed to hear that , there was an enormous  amount  of comfort that came from that statement .  I hadn't  realised how teary eyed I became , until I felt the unwelcomed wetness on my cheek and Christian's thumb sweep it away as quickly as it fell...

We drove for an hour or 2 until we got to our destination.

His boathouse  , we call this place our spot because this is where I met Christian  Grey  for the first time since my mentorship, as an accomplished businesswoman,  it was a charity event held by his parents, I didn't  want to go ,but his mom sort of always gets her way.

I showed up - LATE.

It was so embarrassing , like something out of a movie,  dramatic  entrance intact.
