Just an apology first- this chapter should have been out on Monday, but I've had exams on today and Monday, so I didn't get a chance to write it in between studying. Now that it's done, it's time for our Musical Episode! Wahey!



Ana, having just accepted Grey's proposal, is now awaiting his response. It's positive, to say the least.

"You'll marry me?" he whispers, incredulous.

Marry me, he said, through his rotten teeth, bad breath and then...

Christ, that song is addictive. If it wasn't so bloody fast, I'd sing it all the way through.

Grey is over the fucking moon about it, swinging her around and kissing her.

He loves me, of that I have no doubt, and I savour the taste of this delicious man, this man I thought I might never see again.

And the cat said, A slut is she, who eats the flesh!

They do the whole 'I thought I'd lost you!' thing, and Grey tries a badass one-liner of the 'Baby, it'll take more than an [X] to take me away from you', but I find that 'Baby, it'll take more than a malfunctioning 135 (Charlie Tango's model) to keep me away from you' has slightly less badassery than 'Baby, it'll take more than a helicopter crash to keep me away from you'. Just sayin'.

Grey has a thought! (Can I get a shocked gasp, please?) Ana gave him the ring before they saw Flynn, meaning she deliberately withheld the answer to his proposal. Fuckin' answer-tease. Why, I hear you ask?

I shrug apologetically. "I wanted you to know that whatever Flynn said, it wouldn't make a difference to me."

You could have fuckin' told him beforehand! I mean, he proposed to you, and you left him hanging there for- three days, I think? That's pretty damn bitchy, Ana- and Grey agrees with me:

"All that worry," he whispers ominously. [...] "I can't believe you left me hanging."

'Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hanging on...

Grey decides that some retribution is needed! And since it's Grey, by retribution, he means sex. Of course he does.

He throws her over his shoulder, carries her into the bathroom, and foreplay happens. And there's a line that for some reason, I find hilarious: 

Dammit, why didn't he let me take his pants off?

You can leave your hat on...

Honestly, I don't want to read the entire sex scene. So I won't. Afterwards, Grey admits that he made light of the situation so he wouldn't freak out his family- for a few moments, he genuinely thought he was going to die. They go to bed (as in, they get into bed) and discuss his presents. Grey loves his keychain.

"What do you give the man who has everything? I thought I'd give you... me."

And this is all that I know... naked but safe, and lifelessly yours...

Ana asks Grey if he really thought that they wouldn't be worried. She tells him that everyone was horrified and petrified that he might be dead, and hopes that now he'll get it through his thick skull that he's loved. She also tells him that she's got another present for him, but he'll have to wait until the morning.

In the morning, Ana wakes up and finds Jose having breakfast. She makes him an omelette, and one for Grey when he wakes up. Jose and Grey chat- turns out that Jose's into fishing too, so they end up getting along like a house on fire.

Afterwards, Ana points out to Grey that Jose's not so bad. Grey points out in return that Jose still wants her. Ana says that he's just a friend, and has an abrupt realisation:

And I'm suddenly aware that I sound just like Christian when he's talking about Mrs Robinson. The thought is unsettling.

But love, love will tear us apart, again.

Grey points out that she didn't tell Jose that they're getting married. Ana says that she wants to tell her mother and Ray first. Fair enough. Then she gives him his first present, a model helicopter that's solar-powered. Grey, who loves both helicopters and alternative technologies, instantly loves it. Ana then gives him her second present- nipple clamps, a butt plug, his tie, an eye mask, his iPod and the key to his playroom. Grey instantly loves the idea of birthday BDSM, and they're on!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Flesh is the law!

And that concludes our chapter. 

So, that was Chapter Twenty. Two more to go!
