One night

Christmas morning

I wake up and I'm in a strange room. I turn slightly and see chris sleeping next to me. Oh god! What did I do?
I slowly get up and grab his shirt from the floor, I make my way into the bathroom and clean my self up. I didn't mean to sleep with him again, I like him a lot but what if he thinks I'm just an easy lay. God!
I make my way back into his bedroom and he is sitting up smiling at me.
"Good morning"
"Morning" I sit on the end of the bed and he shuffles towards me "what's wrong?"
"Last night chris, that's not how it was supposed to go"
"You regret it?"
"No.....yes.....I don't know" I groan and hang my head low.
"Hey, I don't regret anything. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since that night. There is something special about you and I want to explore this with you."
"But why?"
"Because your funny, kind and caring. Your beautiful and I feel like we could have an amazing connection"
I look up into his eyes and he smiles at me, he cups my cheek and lightly runs his thumb across my skin "merry Christmas"
I giggle "merry Christmas chris"
He pulls me in for a kiss and I can't help but melt into it. He really is an amazing man. I feel my self getting lost in him again. Wow what a Christmas!

We arrive at Chris's mums house, he walks through the door and pulls me along with him.
"Ma you here?"
"In the kitchen"
We walk through and chris gives his mum a huge hug. She then looks over at me.
"You must be Chloe? I've heard a lot about you"
"You have?"
"Yeah I have. It's nice to meet you"
"You too mrs Evans"
"Please call me Lisa. I've not been mrs evans for a while"
"Okay Lisa. It's nice to meet you. These are for you. A thank you for letting me come here today" I hand over some flowers for her and she smiles. She pulls me into a hug "your welcome my darling and these are beautiful. Go through everyone is in the living room"
Chris grabs my hand and walks us through.
"Hey guys. This is Chloe. Chloe this is my sister Carly, her husband Ryan, my sister Shanna and her husband Pete and my brother Scot and his boyfriend steve"
"Nice to meet you all"
"Nice to finally meet you too. Chris has been talking about you non stop"
I look up at chris and he is blushing "alright guys. Where are the kids?"
Right on cue they come running in and pounce on chris.
"Uncle chris!!!!!"
"Hello guys!!!"
A little boy looks up at me and tugs on Chris's shirt "uncle chris, who is this?"
"This is Chloe she is a friend of mine"
"She is very beautiful"
I smile and bend down "well thank you, your very handsome. What's your name?"
"I'm miles"
"Nice to meet you miles"
Just as I go to get up a little girl runs over to me and hugs me tight "I'm Stella"
"Nice to meet you Stella, I love your dress. You look like a princess"
She giggles.
Another little boy was stood just to the side of us "hi" I said sweetly to him
"I'm Ethan"
"Nice to meet you Ethan" I shake his hand "wow what a strong handshake you have"
He laughs and wonders off. Stella on the other hand is wrapped around my leg and miles has a Hold of my hands.
Chris looks over at me and smiles "hey kids, let Chloe sit down would you"
They move and I sit down on the sofa. Next minute I know Stella is in my lap and miles is sat to the side of me. There so cute.
"They like you" Chris's sister Carly says to me while walking into the kitchen. I smile.
This place makes me think of my home growing up. It was always filled with family.
"You okay?" Chris asked me
"Yeah just thinking"
Scot came and sat next to me and started grilling me with lots of questions. He was funny so I didn't mind so much. His boyfriend was just as funny.
His mum shouted us all through and we sat at a huge table ready for dinner. Miles sat on one side of me while Stella sat on the other. Chris sat next to Stella and laughed. Dinner was amazing and we all cleared our plates. We had a lot of small talk and a lot laughter which was so amazing to be apart off.
Lisa got up and went to clean the table
"Lisa I'll do that. You cooked"
"Don't be silly hunny, your a guest"
"I don't mind honesty. Please"
"Okay but chris can help you"
Chris looked at me and pouted "now look what you've done"
I giggle and push his shoulder "come on, I'll wash you dry" I pulled him up and we cleaned the entire kitchen. He kept flicking me slightly with the towel every now and then and I would just blow bubbles at him. It was fun and it was the nicest Christmas I'd had without April in a long time. I should really talk to her and try and sort things out but I didn't know how too. She was my best friend but I barley knew her anymore.
