***SHORT CHAPTER***
After the wonderful week we had in Jamaica, it was time to get back to work. We flew back to L.A. Saturday night and was bombarded by paparazzi, here we go again. "Chris! Why are you with y/n??" "Where did you guys go?" We ignored their questions and ordered an Uber. Thankfully, it was only one minute away so we walked outside looking out for it. The paparazzi followed and the flashes of the cameras were blinding so we looked down. "Are you guys together?!?" one of the paparazzi asked. Chris looked at me and held my hand. I was shocked by his movement because we haven't talked about what the press will say about us and all the consequences we'll have to go through. But I guess he didn't care, and to be honest, neither did I. I look at my phone and saw the car that was our Uber honking. The paparazzi became excited and tried to ask more questions but, Chris pulled me by the hand and opened the door of the car. I went in and he followed along. The driver drove off and I made a surprised look at him, "So, we never really spoke about our relationship coming out to the public." "Yeah, I know. I just took your hand out of quick judgment. But if people start to ask questions, we could say I was pulling you out of the crowd if you're not ready to come out with it." "No, I'm fine with people knowing. It's just we might have to tell Tony to sign some sort of contract of our relationship." "You're really okay with the world knowing?" "Yeah. I feel different with you Chris. We might have to go through a few bumps but, I wouldn't want to go through them with anyone else." He smiled warmly at me and we finally got back to his house.I was exhausted from the flight and dropped my bags to lay down on the couch. "I'm so tireeeed." Chris sat next to me placing my head on his lap and said, "I know bug, you can rest." He adjusted himself so that I was completely laying on top of him, pulled the blanket that was near him and covered us. He started to gently play with my hair which was so relaxing and I began falling asleep. But right before I did, he asked, "Come home with me." "I'm already home with you bug." I said sleepily, "No, I mean to Boston. To meet my family." I get up and look at him, "Are you serious?" "Of course I am, my family will love you. But that's only if you want to, I don't wanna make it seem like I'm rushing you into anything but, I really like you y/n. There's no doubt in my mind that things will go wrong." I pout at his response in awe and kissed him, "Okay, I'll love to meet them. But when would we go?" "Next time we get a break. Maybe Christmas." "Okay sure but, I usually go back to see my family too. So how would this work?" "It depends. Do you want me to come with you to meet your family?" "Yeah! And I know for a fact that they'll love you. They always talk about Captain America and Jensen from The Losers." He chucked and held my face in his hand, "Then, we could go visit your family two days before Christmas and visit my family the day of Christmas." "Okay, that's fine bug." I laid my head back down on his chest and held onto him while I listened to his heart beat. He continued to run his fingers through my hair causing me to fall asleep.
Chris's POV
I wish I could stay like this forever. Holding her in my arms while she holds onto me loving the affection as she slept makes me feel, whole. I kissed her forehead and watched tv until I fell asleep. The next day, we got to the studio and told our director Tony about our relationship. He was very understanding and told us to just keep things professional. So, we got back to work and did our after work routine as usual. One day, I was thinking back to when we came home from Jamaica and y/n talked about going back home, and I realized she never really spoke about her family. So, one night while at my house eating pizza I asked, "Can I ask you a serious question?" She grabbed another slice of pizza, took a bite and said, "Yeah, what's up?" I took a pause and asked, "How come you never really talk about your family?" She put her slice down and sighed,"My dad died in a hit and run when he was in the neighborhood of everything going down. They caught him at the wrong place and time. God, I miss him. I was only 16. But before he died, he used to take me to plays and sometimes he'd take me to Broadway to watch the performances. Which is why I fell in love with acting. It was like my calling. Anyways, his death kind of separated all of us. Don't get me wrong, we still love each other til our hearts drop but, it's just not the same without him." "I'm so sorry love. He would be so proud of who've you become." "My mom always says that." She said as she softly giggled, "He would've loved you." Tears fell out of her eyes and down her cheeks, she tried to wipe them but they kept coming down. She started fiddling with her fingers and looked down. I know it must hurt her deeply so instead of talking, I pulled her close to me and let her cry. A death is something that takes a toll on a person, I might not understand the feeling but I get it. It's hard. I've lost a friend or two but not a family member. I held her head and rubbed her back trying to comfort her the most I can. After she finished crying she said, "Thank you. And sorry for ruining your shirt." I looked at her softly and said, "Don't even worry about it love. Do you want to fall asleep?" "Yes please."After a few minutes, I heard her lightly snoring. And it's not as annoying as people would think it would be. She's always been a light snorer but, I decided not to tell her because she might freak out. I just want to marry her. I want to put a ring on her finger and see her walk down the isle. I wanna have kids with her and watch them grow in our big house with the white picket fence together. But at the same time, I feel like I'm moving too fast. I don't want to scare her away cause she's the most pure thing I have going on right now. I wish she knew how I felt. I texted Seb and asked if he could come over tomorrow night, luckily, he said yes. I'm surprised he's not throwing some type of party on a Saturday night with Anthony or something. That reminds me, I have gotta get a guy's night. I love y/n, I do. But it's been so long since I went out with the guys. I'm pretty sure she feels the same, I'll ask her about it tomorrow.
