The darkness that falls upon me every night transforms into a brilliantly lit day as the sun sweeps her joy away. Every morning when I wake up it feels like a new beginning for me. A beginning with my loving husband and adorable son. I feel blessed to enjoy one more day with them and show them how much I love them. I also cannot forget our extended family which I cherish with all my heart as well. This morning is no different except for the fact that my darling husband is not in bed with me when I open my dreary eyes. I try to focus my eyes further and notice Teddy is not in his bed also. Hmm! I wonder where they are.
I will go search for them. Maybe Teddy already woke up and Christian took him out of the room so he couldn’t wake me up. As I force myself out of the bed, I glance at the clock beside me. No! It can’t be that time. I overslept. I take a second look at it. Yep! The green display reads 8:00 am.
I wobble to the bathroom and splash my face with cold water. I look at myself in the mirror. Woah! The sight before me can stop a train dead in its track. I still don’t understand how my hot husband finds me attractive in the morning. Every time I ask him his answer is, “Oh baby, you will always look beautiful in my eyes. In the morning, you look even more beautiful and sexy. The way your wild hair flows around your shoulders and caresses your face, your pink lips buff out, and your refreshed crystal blue eyes sparkle jump starts my heart. I fall in love with you all over again every morning when I first open my eyes and look upon you. It isn’t just my heart that leaps out, my body also wants you. I want to make passionate love to you the moment I gaze into your loving eyes in the break of dawn. I love you, Ana.” Every time he says those heartwarming words my knees become like jelly and my heart skips a beat. My body also joins in and becomes heightened as it grows hungry for him.
I make my way to the living and kitchen area following the trail of the delicious sweet scents of buttery pancakes and pastries. Mmmmm! My stomach is growling like a tiger from hunger.
Teddy and Christian are sitting on the sofa playing with some small toy cars. I approach Teddy first kissing him tenderly on his soft copper hair. Then I place my hand on Christian’s shoulder lean over him kissing his sexy lips. He returns my kiss pressing harder. We pull apart a few inches away unwillingly to still our breaths. I can feel his hot minty breath on my lips. I whisper to him, “Good morning, Mr. Grey. I was very lonely in the bed all by myself, but the kiss surely made up for it. Every time we kiss it feels like the first time.”
He caresses my face with his soft slender long fingers. “Mrs. Grey, your kisses feel and taste like velvet cake. I feel the same way. Each and every kiss we share feels like the first time our lips connected. I am so sorry I left you alone in the large bed all by yourself. Can I make it up to you somehow?”
I mould my lips to his feeling the spark ignite once again. “Mr. Grey, I know of one very naughty and dirty way in which you can make it up to me.”
He groans into my mouth. “Mrs. Grey, you have a one track mind. I promise you I will have my very dirty way with you today.” My body quivers with anticipation.
At the breakfast table, Gail and Taylor join us. Christian talks about his morning trip to his newly acquired business in Argentina. I listen tentatively to him munching away on the scrumptious buttery crispy pancakes which melt in my mouth and the sweet pastries filled with caramel. Once in a while, I cut up the pancakes on Teddy’s plate for him. He is so determined to eat by himself. His determination to try to be independent so early in his childhood reminds me of Christian’s fortitude.
After breakfast Christian leaves with Taylor to the company. He assures me he will be back by 1:00 pm. Gail, Teddy, and I lounge out in the living room. Teddy picks up a book from his bag pack and hands it over to me. “Momy, pease reed to me.”
In the middle of the reading, I hear a knock at my door. Gail gets up and peeps through the peep hole. She opens the door and Mia. Kate, Grace, my mom storm into the room like a swarm of bees. Mia hugs me, Teddy, and Gail squealing, “Good morning, Ana, Teddy, Gail!” She picks up Teddy and playfully tickles him.
Kate also hugs me, but not as tight as Mia. When Mia hugged me, she took my breath away crushing my lungs. “Good morning, Ms. Steele.”
Grace and my mom sit on either side of me. They hold my hands and peck my cheeks. Grace asks, “Good morning, Ana. How are you feeling today?”
Before I answer her I must greet them. “Good morning, Mia, Kate, mom, and Grace. To answer your question, I am feeling great.”
She looks at both Gail and I. “Gail, Ana, if you feel any kind of discomfort please let me know.”
Both Gail and I nod in agreement.
I wait for their other halves to attack me, but it never does. I questionably look at Grace. “Grace, where are the men?”
“Ana, they are in Elliot’s apartment leaving us gals to ourselves.”
Kate chimes in, “They are even taking care of Ava. I didn’t even have to bribe my dear husband to watch her. I couldn’t believe it when he took her from my arms and told me to come to your apartment for some girl time.” It really is surprising Elliot did that! Maybe he is finally growing up!
I look at all the beautiful women in my family. “So what do we do now?”
Mia yelps, “Let’s do our nails!” Huh! I look at her with confusion. How can we do our nails if we don’t have any nail polish or any other supplies for it?
Grace asks her the same question in my mind. “Mia, dear, how are we going to do our nails if we don’t have nail polish, nail polish remover and a nail kit?”
Mia beams as she takes out a complete nail polish kit from her enormous oversized purse. How in the hell did that big box fit in her purse? What else does she have in their?
Grace smiles lazily at Mia nodding her head slightly from side to side as Kate’s face lights up. My mom shrugs her shoulders as I roll my eyes. Gail chuckles holding her bump. I have to know if she bought it here or from home. “Mia, did you buy the set here?”
Mia answers me with a big grin. “Yes! I bought it when we went to the mall yesterday.”
Mia lays out all of the equipment on the table with many different colored nail polishes. Teddy tries to touch one of the nail files. I stop him by gently grasping his small hands and tell him, “Teddy bear you cannot touch what is on this table. Okay? Here are some toy cars and trains you can play with.”
As I hand him his toys, he says, “Ok momy.”
While Kate paints my nails, Mia paints Gail’s nails, and Carla paints Grace’s nails. We chit chat on many different topics during our special treatment.
After two hours, all of our nails and toes are the colors of the rainbow. We agreed on a plan to get Christian to his surprise party, talked about our love life, and Mia’s wedding. The interesting part of our conversation was when we spoke about our love life.
Grace told us the story of how she met Cary and how they fell in love. She also gave us some advice which she made us write down on a piece of paper.
Grace’s advice
1. Healthy Communication – speak to each other lovingly and respectfully, have patience, be willing to listen and talk, be willing to validate what your partner is expressing
2. Share quality time – never stop being friends, take time to laugh and play together, have a scheduled date night, keep the connection in the bedroom
3. Commitment – put time and effort into sustaining and enhancing your relationship, support one another in good and bad times
4. Choose your battles – don’t fight every battle in the relationship, choose the ones you want to fight, find a compromise, acceptance
5. Trust and security – avoid temptation, learn to trust and be trustworthy
6. Create a shared vision – develop goals for your relationship and strive for them
7. Ask for help – don’t be afraid to ask for help
8. Little things – tell your husband you love him every day and show him
She gave us great advice. I will show these to Christian today. I also want to mention to him that we should start planning something special for their 36 year anniversary in November. Maybe we can combine it with thanksgiving.
My mom spoke about her marriages. She confessed that she was very happy with Bob, but her first true love was my real father who died before I was born. She had the brightest smile when she talked about how she met my real dad. She became very sad when she recalled the day she found out he died and she was pregnant with me. I wrapped my arms around her to console her.
Kate and I tell our story which is a short one, since the family knows all about it except for the kinky times which Christian and I share.
Well, Mia is a different story. She kept going on and on about Ethan. Grace had to stop her or else she would have talked up a storm.
As Mia and Kate are chatting away about fashion, Grace, Gail, and Carla converse about the wonderful day we had yesterday. My stomach is feeling a bit empty so I get up and place some fruits on a platter and some cheerios in a bowl for Teddy.
While we munch away on the fresh sweet fruit and Teddy is preoccupied with the cheerios, I hear a knock on the door. Thomas goes to see who it is this time. He views the small opening in the door. I hope it is Christian. I miss him. As he swings the door open, Liz runs to me and we embrace as if we haven’t seen each other in ages. She is here early. I thought she was going to arrive in a few hours.
“Hi Liz! I am so excited to see you! I wasn’t expecting you so early.”
“Hi Ana! Me too! I took an earlier flight, because I wanted to get here sooner rather than later.”
I don’t see her family with her. “Where is your family?”
She answers me, “they are settling in the apartment which is on this floor very close to you.”
She greets the rest of the girls with a hug as well.
I let Liz know about our plans on how to surprise Christian tomorrow and she tells us all the details she prepared for the special occasion. I cannot wait to see his face when we surprise him.
Half an hour later
Christian saunters into the apartment with Taylor following him. His copper hair is disheveled from running his hands through it and his tie is half off with the top two buttons of his shirt undone. This is my man! He is sexy and hot!
I run as fast as I can to him. I attack him throwing my arms around his neck and kissing him over and over. “I missed you, Mr. Grey.”
He gleams at me, “and I missed you Mrs. Grey. Are you ready to go eat lunch and site see some more?” Am I? Yes I am! I will go anywhere with you baby!
“
"Peanut and I do need to eat and site seeing sounds wonderful my love.”
Twenty minutes later
In the restaurant, Los Inmortales, Christian tells us about the company. He is very enthusiastic and confident with the changes he made this morning which will make us a profit.
As we eat the delicious pizza, Christian and I takes turns going over the places we will see today. As Christian tells us about the Alvear Palace Hotel, I look down at Teddy who has red sauce all over his face and shirt. I take a quick picture of him, the family, and myself.
After I take Teddy to the bathroom to clean him and change his shirt, we head out to start site seeing.
First we go to the Recoleta Cemetery. We walk through the vast cemetery which words alone cannot describe. There are hundreds of huge fascinating small buildings for the remains of the old controlling families of Argentina. We spent hours walking through the labyrinth of mausoleums which were designed in many different styles you could imagine. We even saw the resting place of Eva Peron. She was the second wife of the President Juan Peron. He served as the President of Argentina from July 8, 1944 to October 10, 1945. I thought Christian would have a hard time going to the cemetery, but he assured me it was okay. When he visited his mom’s grave, he confronted his tortured past. After he spilled out all of his feelings to his mom, he felt like a burden was lifted off his shoulder.
Our next stop is one of my favorites, because it is my passion which I get to perform it every day of my life and make money doing it. As we enter El Ateneo Bookstore, I feel as if I have cross the threshold into heaven. The fresco painted high circular ceiling, the sculptured female figure, and the lavish designs feels as if I have stepped back in time. As I look around, I see rows and rows of books. There must be over 300,000 books in this place. I also notice a stage with a curtain. This must have been a theatre before.
After I wonder around mesmerizing every detail and book with Christian and Teddy for a few hours, we meet the rest of the family in the entrance. As we wait, Christian buys me some antique books to add to my collection in my library at home.
We take a stroll to the Alvear Palace Hotel which is one of the most traditional and luxurious hotels in Buenos Aires. Many notable guests such as Sofia Loren, Nelson Mandela, among others have stayed there. We enter the lobby just so see how it looks like. I stop in the middle of the room taking in scene before me. The high ornate ceilings with the polished marble floor and gold trimmings gives the foyer an elegant and majestic feel. Next time we visit I want to stay in this palace.
A few minutes later, we visit another hotel. The entrance of the Palacio Duhau is amazing. Its design and adornments gives it a French 1930’s charm with a modern twist. This place is known for its exquisite garden. As I step into the garden, I look around and instantly feel at peace. The green trimmed grass with the different varieties of trees and flowers on the sides and a pond in the middle descending from the top is breath taking. The green grass is inviting me to sit down on it and meditate for a while. My thoughts are interrupted by Christian’s holding my hand and leading me to our next destination.
Our next destination is very brief since we were not allowed to enter the premises. We just stood outside the French and Brazilian embassy admiring the structure before us.
As we inched closer to the next place, Mia jumped up and down. Ethan had to let go of her hand so she wouldn’t break it. Kate, Elliot, Gail, Taylor, Sawyer, Thomas, Cary, Grace, my mom and dad, Bob, Liz and her family laughed at Mia’s display. Christian, Teddy, and I joined in giggling. Mia raced into the Ralph Lauren store. We followed her into the store splitting into two groups. The girls and I went to the left in the women’s section and the guys to the right in the men’s sector.
After an hour of roaming around and buying to our hearts desires, we walk back to the car. On the drive back to the hotel, Christian spots a little quaint restaurant. Taylor parks the car and helps us out of the car. As we enter it, I get taken back to the time when Ray used to barbecue in the summertime. I would sit outside in the backyard and enjoy the gentle breeze and smell of the grilled chicken and beef. The greeter welcomes us to El Parillon de Recoleta and takes us to our seats.
I look over the menu and decide to have the grilled chicken with some veggies and a salad. A few minutes later the waitress takes our orders. Mia, Kate, Gail, Carla, Grace, Liz, and her daughter order the chicken as well. The men all order some kind of beef with baked potatoes. I order Teddy some chicken fingers with French fries.
Once the food arrives, we are all silent for a few moments salivating each bite of our food. My chicken taste delicious and is very tender. I look over at Christian and ask him, “how is your steak?” Between each bite he answers me, “it is really good. Do you want to try some?” I nod my head yes and open my mouth. He inserts the steak in my mouth. Mmm! It does taste good!
After we finish the main course, we have baked pumpkin for dessert. I savor the smoothness and sweetness of it.
After dinner, we go back to the hotel. Before I enter our apartment, I take a peek in the hallway. Grace and Cary retreat hand in hand into their apartment which they share with my mom and Bob. Elliot embraces Kate’s waist while she pushes the stroller into the room with Ava sleeping like a baby. Mia who is supposed to be following Kate and Elliot enters Ethan’s room. They seem to have the same idea Christian and I do.
In our bedroom, I am alone with my devastatingly handsome husband since our young master is with Sawyer and Thomas.
Christian strokes my cheeks and kisses my lips. Our lips moved in time with each other and Christian raised his hands up in my hair tangling his fingers in it. With his other hand he cupped my cheek. I slowly raised his shirt feeling his sublime body. I moved my lips down to his neck. Christian places his hands on my lower back slipping one hand cupping my behind.
Christian panted through the hard kissing and touching.“I . Love . You” That is it took for me to lose control. I peeled off his shirt and pressed my chest against his, slowly running my hand over his crotch. He started making a trail with his kisses from my jaw line to my breasts. He touched my body so gently and passionately. He pulled down my jeans and panties. I unbuckled his belt with one hand using the other to run my fingers over his stomach. I slipped down his underwear’s and pants at the same time. He led me backward onto the bed and climbed on top of me. Our lips meet once again as our bodies united.
