Dating a Star

Chapter Twenty Two

"Holy shit. Well that was interesting." You lay next to Chris. He has untied you from the belt and is laying next to you naked.

"I mean that was amazing." Chris said breathlessly with a slight smirk on his face.

You laid together in the bed wrapped around each other. Chris was running his fingers up and down your back, the sensation tingling all the way down to your toes.

"You know if you don't want me to come to family dinner then I completely understand." Chris says softly with his eyes closed. He could tell you were deep in thought over the situation that had presented itself to you.

Last night you and Chris had outed your relationship to everyone. Well Chris had done that when he came over to claim you so possessively and slightly jealous. That was after Pete had caught you in the corridor which was bound to happen but you didn't expect it to be Pete.

"No I do want you to come. It will be nice. Plus we can't really hide anymore since your stunt last night." You reply.

"Can I just point out you were the one who told me to come and claim you." Chris leant up on his elbow looking at you with raised eyebrows he looked frustrated.

"Ok, ok I did and I will take a little responsibility for it. But I guess we spoke about taking it slow, then that happened. I just worry now." You explain fiddling with the sheet that is just about covering you.

"What are you worried about?" Chris asks.

"I mean what if it gets out about us. There is going to be a lot of people not very happy about it. I mean I'm a nobody." You feel a little sad when you think about it.

Looking over at Chris he had concern in his eyes. You did feel like a nobody. What could you offer him. Obviously you had great sex and the chat between the both of you was amazing. You would never be able to match up to him in your careers. Perhaps this wasn't a good idea after all.

"You are not a nobody. You are kind, driven, talented and amazing. Don't ever think that you are not good enough. I really like you. I wouldn't have done what I done last night if I wasn't insanely jealous." He explains then takes your hand and kisses it softly.

"Chris you know how much I appreciate you right." You smile at him. "I don't take you and iI for granted. Thank you for believing in me and finding something in me to like."

As you lay together in the bed your stomach begins to rumble.

"I am starving. Do you want anything to eat?" You roll over onto Chris and kiss him tenderly. Then look at him to wait for his answer.

"I could eat if you are. What do you fancy?" Chris asks.

"I make an amazing grilled cheese." You climb out of the bed and put on your silky robe.

Moving around the kitchen you pull everything out that you need. Chris sits at the small dining table that you have and watches you move around the kitchen.

He notices your notebook and flicks through it slowly.

"Did you write all of these songs?" He asks.

"They are half songs and yes I did write them." You reply while making two grilled cheese sandwiches, that are loaded with three different types of cheese and an unhealthy amount of butter, just one of the reason that made them taste so good. "I am full of surprises."

"Indeed you are. The song tonight was amazing babe, you are very talented." He replies smiling.

Placing a plate of grilled cheese in front of him you sit opposite placing your feet on the chair, you pull apart the grilled cheese ravenously and take a large bite from it letting the melted cheese drip down onto your chin. He does the same making noises as he does.

It was nice to have him in your apartment. Being around him made you feel calm. Tomorrow at dinner with the family would be the real test for you both. Your parents wouldn't be the problem it would be everyone else.

Once you had finished the food he clears the plates away and then moves back towards you and pulls you into a hug. He kisses you on the forehead.

"Shall we head to bed?" He asks.

"Didn't think you would want to stay but yes let's head to bed." You pull him towards the bedroom.

"What are you going on about? You really are trying to treat me like some kind of booty call." He grabs you round the waist and lifts you up carrying you to the bedroom with a soft tap to your pert ass as his does.

"Your welcome here anytime. Your definitely welcome in my bed again after that show." You giggle at him and then snuggle down into his arms. "Is it weird that I don't want to leave here? I just want to exist in the comfort of your arms?"

"No because that's where I want to exist right now as well." He mimics with a kiss.

Laying in Chris' arms for the third time now you think back to how you felt when you first came back to Boston.

You were broken mentally and physically. Something in you had snapped when you saw Nathan and his affair. Not knowing whether you would ever be able to trust another man again you convinced yourself that you were happy being single. That you would take the time to work on yourself.

That lasted all of three days. 'What will be will be.' Your Ma would always say. She was a firm believer in that. Everything happened for a reason. You were starting to come around to her way of thinking. Chris was now your happiness. However you were still apprehensive.

He could take one look at you and realise that you were infact unworthy of his time, his affection and his admiration. Until that day came you would relish the time with him.

As you rolled to fall asleep Chris groaned sleepily and rolled over to find you. Spooning you, his heavy arm over your body felt normal. It felt like it belonged.
