This story doesnt involve any BDSM aspect, all character credits are owned by . This is my first story, I dont know if it will truly be successful but I wanted to try something new during my spare time and I've always been a huge fan of Fifty Shades Trilogy and the movie. Also, since I'm studying English Litterature in College here in Paris, Ana took a great place in my heart as for Christian for being the man of my dream despite his dominant soul. The story will include some kinky fuckery but not the entire aspect of Christian's Red Room of Pain or BDSM. I dont know how the story will evolve in fact, I will write according to the flow and to where the characters will take my imagination away. I really do hope u to be very indulgent toward me as it is my first ever fanfiction. My English can suck a little bit, as I'm only speaking it since the age of 12 and I'm still dealing with it. I do speak it very fluently but since I'm not from an English speaking country I may have some difficulties.
The story is written from both Ana and Christians point of view, I'll try to jump between characters or add other characters POV too in order for you to understand better the course of the story.
Anastasia Steele is a 24 year old college graduate from English Litt, currently looking for jobs where she can display her English Litt skills, she lives with her father Ray Steele the owner of the well-known Steele Publishing and Steele Hotel branchs, in Seattle next door of the Kavanaugh Family. Christian Grey is the 27 year old the yougest successful bachelor, entrepreneur, handsome owner of Grey Entreprise Incorporation.
So here is the first chapter I really do hope that you all will like it and keep reviewing it, I don't make promises but I hope to update very oftenly.
Chapter 1: Usual day
ANA POV:
So today as usual I spent the entire day going forth and back in the house. Ray is working, Kate and Ethan are in Barbados with their parents so I can't hang out with them either. She asked me to join them but I don't like interupting family vacations, she already spends the entire year with me -well almost- so it's better for her to spend family vacation. I'm looking for jobs, yeah you will tell me I can take on Steele Publishing but no, I want to prove my dad what I'm capable of, what I can do without the influence of his name. I have worked in various bookstores and I loved every of them, but I want something discovering, maybe I should try writing. Kate and I make Skype phone calls everynight, well it depends on the time difference but we manage, and she tells me all those hot guys she met the previous days or nights she was out with her brother Ethan. She is very close to him, not the typical bro/sis relationship but he is like her second bestfriend after me. This is when I realise how sad it is for me to be the only child of my family. My mother Carla died when I was only 10 during her volontary teaching mission in Africa, she was caught by an illness and when they brought her back in Seattle she was already in terminal state of it, she died few hours later. My dad worked hard to not make me feel her absence but I felt it anyways, but we had a very nice housekeeper Virginia so I was pretty close to her. But since I had Kate I was able to move on quickly, tho I miss my mom so much and I talk to her everyday when I enter my room and see pictures of us hanging on the wall. Kate and I met when she moved in next door with her parents when we were 7. My father helped them with the moving because it was a Saturday and my dad likes meeting new people. My mother and Kate's mother Felicity became instantly bestfriends just like Kate and I. We went to same school during all our education and suprisingly have always been in same classes -almost- she has so much experience with guys that it embarasses me who is a 24 year old virgin! Her brother is a blond king, he is absolutely handsome and well he was my first childhood crush but it vanished quickly since I always ended up seeing him with different girls like every minute of his life! They were quite alike Kate and him, but I loved Kate more. I always thought Kate was my long lost twin sister from another father because she entirely complets me. She is actually the one to make me like shopping, I was such a bookworm back recently, but she managed to make me her shopping buddy too, not that I complain but she made me realised that shopping is also a therapy.
Every year, my family and hers are inveted to a gala called "Coping together". It hosted by the well known Grey family, actually I didn't know them until few years because my father was inveted there. Apparently he has been doing business with one of his sons. I don't even know his name. I never have been a business material so my dad tells me less about it which I was thankful for. Kate knows the family well, her parents happen to meet them few times but she just like me wasn't interested in it unless it helps her with her journalist career. Since then Kate, Ethan and I never went to the gala because, it feels like the richest families are there looking for some pretty girls to marry their sons and have a heir for their empire, same goes for Ethan. So we made nights out and have fun with our college buddies. Tonight my father came home early while I was having another round of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the middle of the day.
"Annie my girl, I'm home early!" he yells entering the door and tossing the keys on the kitchen counter.
"In here Daddy, come have some ice cream with me". He came straight with a huge smile planted on his face but his eyes were so tired. He has been like this since my mother died, he loved her so much. I told him to have some fun, that I agree with him about having a girlfriend and all but I guess what he felt for my mother will never be gone.
"Oh my girl this thing is so life saving in those sweaty days of May! I missed you, so how was your day?"
"You know dad, the usual. Why are you home early?"
"Well I finished my things at the office, and decided to take few days off to relax. I thought I could take you out to dinner father and daughterly dinner. And also, as you know this Saturday we are going to the gala" he said while taking off his suit jacket and tossing his shoes to the other side of the TV room.
"Dad today is Tuesday, and Kate is back this Wednesday, can't I just do the same as other years and stay home?" I said pouting, I don't like this, I mean okay me and a gala ? I don't even know how to dance.
"Anni, my girl, you know that Kate should come too, her father has been trying to convince her. It can't be that bad to attend it for once, you can have fun, if you come she will be there too. And also you can meet new people so maybe you can find an associate or someone who can offer you a job, just think it through, okay baby?"
He was right in fact, I always have had fun with Kate, and I also need a job like right now, maybe I could find a free space there. After thinking for seconds I saw Ray's expression softening when I turned to face him with a smile.
"Okay, but promise me if I get bored I can leave it at anytime and that means really ANYTIME" I said. I loved pleasing my dad, seeing his smile there thanks to me, it's like giving the greatest gift to me
"It's a deal baby girl. So now get ready by 7PM, we will go to dinner" he said getting up from the couch and leaving for his room. I called Virginia and told her to have the night off as we are going for the night. She thanked smiling widely at me.
After a few more spoons of Ben & Jerry's I swithched off the TV where I was watching Desperate Housewives and went to my room. I checked the clock and it was nearly 4PM, Kate will be online in a minute. While picking up some clothes for tonight I heard the phone call from the computer, seeing it was Kate I hurredly answered it
"Heeyy Katie katie, you are here finally!" I said hugging the screen.
She giggled "Missed me already? Soo how was your day? Don't tell me the usual or I will literally kill you!"
"The usual. But hey, Ray told me about the Gala, I tried to decline it but I kinda feel desperate for a job so I may have accepted to attend it, with you ofcourse. Please tell me you aren't angry!" I said pleading her, she started laughing like someone was tickling her.
"Relax Steele, my father told me the same, so I thought maybe we can have fun meet some hotti hotties there. Honestly I was tired doing the same thing every year the day of the Gala so maybe since we are grown up now we can attend some grown up parties and getting a little bit more sophisticated"
"Okay, so I'm gonna need a new dress, fancy one, so shopping is a must!"
"I can't believe you just said that Steele. Damn, it'll be good i'm back tomorrow so we have till saturday to find our perfect dresses!"
"Okay I'll get going now, gotta go shower Ray and I are dinning out tonight. Catch you up later and let me know before and after landing babe!" With that I hung up and went straight to shower. After showering I quickly dried my hair and a small messy bun with wavy hair at lose at each side. I decided to wear my light pale pink dress, the color my mother loved the most, with beige heels, I went for something light for my make up, small amount of mascara and very thin eye liner, I pinched my cheeks to make a natural flush, and put on some matte skin lip coloured lipstick. I was nearly done by 6:45PM when my dad knocked to my door.
"Annie, are you ready princess?" Ray only called me princess when I was getting ready for some kind of event or when I take more than an hour to get ready.
"Come in dad I'm almost done. Let me take my purse and I will be downstairs" I said going through my closet, looking for my beige purse.
"okay sweetheart" he said closing the door. Taking my purse I checked one last time the mirror, I forgot to wear jewels. Since I'm all natural, I opted for a small heart shaped diamond earings Ray gifted me for my college graduation and the elegant bracelet that goes with it. My inner goddess was watching me through her glasses, yeah I made a good job getting ready. Satisfied with my look, I decided to go downstairs, my gut feeling told me something was coming up today. I felt strange. I head downstairs to find Ray drinking his old scotch waiting for me. Smiling to me he put the glass down and reached for his arm to me and we head outside.
The way to the restaurant was pleasing, Ray told me his day and I feel like he wants me to take over at least Steele Publishing but he knows I want to get there from my own efforts and not because I'm the daughter of the boss. We were there by 7:25PM, the restaurant was called "Canlis", very sweet and cozy one. The waiter instantly noticed Ray and head towards us. He showed us the way through our table by the huge double-glazed window where Seattle was shining noticably. We sat there after few minutesthe waiter came to take our orders. When he left, I had to excuse my father to pay a visit to the ladies room. After doing my little businesses and applied some more blush I left the room. Walking to Ray, I saw a brown cooper haired man standing there in front of my father laughing with him. His tall figure, his backside, the way he shooved his hand, hearing his sexy laugh, he seriously was a handsome one from what I could see. I was contemplating him when Ray saw me and a huge smile spread across his face. He said to more words to the mysterious sexy backed man and he left. Smiling to my father I came back to my seat.
"Dad, who was he? I never saw you with anyone like this before." I said, trying not to sound too intrusive and fishing as maximum information as possible.
"Ah, him? It's Christian Grey, you know I told you about the gala this saturday? His parents are hosting and also he is a business aquitance of mine. He was just passing by and greeted me. This guy is seriously precious. He's 27 and more successful than any business partner I've ever had during my entire business life." he said showing me his table for me to see him. I never saw my father so enthousiasth about anything I guess he must like him enough. I tried to take a quick look to him but his back was turned to me but there was an older woman sitting accross him, blond hair, red "bitchy" lipstick and was obviously all maded up from head to toe by plastic surgery. Truly she was disgusting. Tho, I was slightly jealous of her for sitting there, and sad not being able to see his face which I presume to be flawless like his tall sexy figure. Without sounding too chizzy I turned back to my dad and smiled briefly to him. Few minutes later our food arrived. We were eating peacefully when I sensed some presence at my back. I could see Ray's father getting lighter when I saw him grinning to something above my head. When I looked up I saw the world's most beautiful pair of grey eyes. I was so drawned by them, his dark eyes took me in, and I wondered what they would look like if he fell in love. Realising how stupidly hot I felt, heat was running through my body and I could feel my cheeks getting redder. DAMN my inner goddess just hide under her bed and I couldn't do anything but stay still. I could still feel his eyes on me. I took a sip from my water trying to refresh myself and clumsy I was like always started to choke on the water. My night got worse when I wanted to put my glass on the table, it slipped through my hand and fell on the floor and ruining my dress as well as my legs getting all wet -you stupid thing you can't even pretend to be calm when a Greek god was standing there staring at you- by inner goddess was cursing me.
"Shiitt! Im so sorryyy!" pleading and not even daring to look straight to his face. My dad stood up.
"Annie god, let me get you some tissues" Ray said trying to cover the table with his suit's tissue
"No dad, it's -" without being able to finish, I saw long figers giving me a silk handkerchief. CTG was very precisely and beautifully hand sewn. Christian Grey, it was him.
"Here, Miss, you can use this" Christian said handing me his handkerchief. I stood there staring at him for seconds but it felt like hours. He then moved his hand to my dress "Here, then let me at least help you." he said trying to swipe off the water from my dress. He slowly moved to my upper leg. And then I felt this amazing thing I have never felt during my entire existence not even with my supposed to be crush in high shcool. I knew from that moment if he touched me more sensually I would melt down. His fingers briefly touched my skin and it was glorious when he suddenly stopped and I realised that I was doing the same effect on him - Ohh I want that hand touching me all over my body-. He abrutly regained his posture and I shrugged then Ray was heading back to our table which I didn't even realised he had left.
"Christian I'm sorry, Anastasia must have been on her clumsy side today." Ray said breaking the heat between us, I was thankful if not I guess i would have had a heartattack by more of his touch.
"I think, the water just choose the wrong time to fall it mustn't be her fault, Ray" he said grinning to me.
I coughed one more time trying to gain back my thoughts and give him the answer he deserved "Well, thank you for the kind gesture some people have unfortunately good or bad timing." I said pleased with my little speech
"You may be right Anastasia. I should get going Ray, my friend's waiting for me. We shall catch up later it was a pleasure to see you here."
"Count on it Christian!" Ray said taking his hand to shake it
"It was nice meeting you Anastasia. I hope to see you very soon maybe in a much better timing." he said reaching for my hand, he gave my knuckles a kiss. I started to smile before noticing that blonde red lipstick-ed bitch staring at me and her eyes were shooting lasers to me then I felt powerful seeing her jealousy. I think she likes her. Breaking the kiss, Christian smiled at Ray one more time and to me.
"Anastasia" my name left his mounth like bird sings sending shivers to my body, his lips formed a sexy grin.
I gluped hard "Christian" I said looking at his lips hardly. He looked at me and left.
I sat back watching his figure and shadow leaving the place and I thought how can I see him again. My inner goddess showed back from her bed, she sat on her comfy chair firing me with a suspicious yet satisfied grin. At this moment I knew I should see him again, I should know more about him. But his eyes were so dark, they obviopusly held so many secrets, and this made me more curious about this unbelievably handsom man.
