Five reasons why The Fifty Shades of Gray series is a true love story

The first book of the series offers insight to how Ana Steele and Christian Grey meet and begin their relationship. Within the first book, they encounter numerous reasons to break up and sadly, they do. But in the second book, Christian Grey becomes Ana’s knight in shining armor and offers her the life she’s always wanted with the man she's always wanted.

1.       They meet in an accidental way

    Ana Steele was never meant to do interviews, but when her best friend got the flu, she stepped in to help her out. She arrived at the interview expecting nothing to change.

2.       It was love at first sight

    When Ana meets his for the first time, she stumbles and falls face first to the floor. She was overwhelmed by his looks and it was love at first sight.

3.       There are people who stand in their way

    Jose, Ana's best guy friend has always had his eye on her. He tried to get closer to her, doing everything he could do to help her out. He offered to be the photographer for a photo shoot and even used pictures that he took of her in his art show. Jose also tried to make his move on her one night while she was drunk at the bar, but luckily for this love story, projectile vomit and Christian Gray saved the day.
    Another man out for Ana was Jack, her boss at her new job in Seattle. He didn't take a hint, of ever give up. Even after Christian Gray bought the company where they worked, "You've bought it. SIP" (James 57),  Jack met Ana in the coffee room and told her about his intentions and that she was to keep quiet and not say a word. Though thanks to Ray, Ana's step-father, Ana knew how to fight and pushed him off her as she escaped. Christian then had him fired the following work day, one of the perks of owning just about any business he wants.

    A women named Mrs. Robinson was a huge part of Christians past. She always seemed to have her nose in their business for a reason that was disclosed at the end of the second book Fifty Shades Darker. She felt that only she could make Christian happy. Her comments were met with a drink to the face and a public shamming, for Christian only had his eyes and heart on Ana.

    Christian's ex-sub Lilia was a huge mystery during the majority of the second book. She first showed up at Ana's work. Then again in the bedroom Ana was sleeping in. Then lastly she confronted Ana at Ana's apartment with a gun. Lilia wondered why Christian liked Ana so much and why Lilia and Christian weren't together. But Christian arrived and settled the situation by taking Lilia to the mental care hospital where she wouldn't be a problem anymore.

 

4.       He proves to her that he is the one

    After their fall out from the first book, Fifty Shades of Gray, "I was overwhelmed. I was trying to be what you wanted me to be" (James 30). Christian proves to Ana that he loves her with the whole vanilla package. The vanilla package is described as the flowers, hearts and roses type of relationship. Even when Ana fears shes not the one and hes not getting what he needs, he says "I'm still me, Anastasia- in all my shades of [messed-upness]" (James 227).

5.       They get married and have a happy ever after
    Ana admits that Christian is the one for her and explains it to her step-father, Ray. She says "I know it's sudden and all- but... well, I love him. He loves me. He wants to marry me, and there'll never be anyone else for me" (James 501). She is beyond head over heels for Christian and he is beyond head over heels for Anastasia. Ray says yes to giving Ana away at the wedding, leaving nothing but love in the air as Ana and Christian say "I do" to each other.
   "He's my happily ever after" (James 501). Ana admits that her life quickly turned into a fairytale love that only true love can offer. Christian is her ending to her fairytale. He is her happily ever after.
