Fifty Shades Full Circle

Chapter 2

Anastasia's POV

"Kate! How are you?" I asked as Kate called me. We haven't met for a while because of well, Elliott.

"I'm fine." She said dreamily, so un-Kate.

"Fine, just fine?" I asked, curious.

"Okay, I'm very, very happy. Mia called me saying that she's inviting you to a dinner party at Grace's house." She said softly, like she's luring me to agree.

"I can't. You know that, right?" I said.

"Ana, please. Mia said that Christian can't come." She said, saying his name quickly I almost didn't catch it.

I sighed. "I really can't. You know that, right?" "Oh my God. I forgot him. Oh my God." She said. "How is he?" She asked, concern in her voice.

"He's fine. We're doing good. I still love him over anyone else." I said smiling, looking at his picture. He looks so adorable.

"Call me more often, Ana. I need to go." She said. I chuckled.

"Okay. See you soon." I said. "You too girl, laters." She said and I hang up. I go back to attending to my work. "Good morning Mrs.-- I mean Ms. Steele." My new assistant, Chase, said as she placed a pile of paper on my table.

"Those are new drafts coming in." She said with that southern accent as she pointed the pile. "Yeah, thanks. And Chase? When are the buyers coming again?" I asked. "You'll have a dinner with them later. I already made the reservations." She said, saluting. I nodded, chuckling at her antics.

"I'll just call you when I need your help." I said, starting to sift through the paper. "Yes Ms. Steele." She answered. I looked at the first page of the first draft and I saw the date it was printed. June 18th. Today is his birthday. I looked at the calendar and indeed it was the 18th. Should I message him? No, Ana. I mentally chastise myself. What if he replies? Shut up, he wouldn't. He hadn't checked on you since you left him, remember? My subconscious snarls.

I opened my mail and unblocked his email address. Then my mail started making continuous buzzing sounds. I got ten thousand mails from him. Might be an overstatement, but this man is unbelievable. He has an empire to run and he had time to email me more than 10 times a day? The man is still crazy about you. I smile at my overconfidence. I opened an e-mail that was dated May 5.

To: Anastasia Grey <------ you still haven't changed your name

Remember this day? The day you first fell into my office. The day that disrupted my dull, gray, lifeless world. I am still happy that it's you who came into my office and not Katherine Kavanagh, for she's given me the Katherine Kavanagh Inquisition for more than a hundred times already.

I miss you everyday, Ana. My life has been dull since you left. I hope you are fine. I hope the baby's fine. I hope you kept the baby. I wish I can see your glow, I wish I can help you when you are throwing up and massage and comfort when you have cramps. I miss you so much, Ana. I wish I can be with you.

I love you, Ana. Always. I will never get tired of saying this. You will always be my more, my love, my life.

I wiped the tears in my eyes. He misses me. Me! I opened another e-mail, written October.

Subject: Letting You Go
To: Anastasia Grey

I can still remember what I felt when I saw you exit my office and enter the elevator. It felt like losing the light that shines my day. My angel, gone. I regret every single time I've let you go. Since the moment after the interview, when you left when I've hit you with that belt, and when you left me because I was a shitty person and a father.

I wish I can see you again. It feels like the sun has set and hasn't risen since you left. I sound like a pathetic, lifeless man. I need you back in my life. I'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means letting go of my hobbies. I'll sell my empire, I'll leave Escala, I'll destroy the red room. I just need you back in my life. I miss you so much.

I'll start doing everything that would win you back. You'll always have my heart, Ana. Always.

That explains the flowers I've been receiving every morning since I left. And every afternoon. And every night. And we're not talking about simple bouquets. We're talking about bouquets that make my office look like an orchard. It never stopped, and I hope it never will.

Shit.

With shaking hands and shaking breaths, I start typing at the subject box.

Today, I'll let him enter my life again.
