Chapter 12

*****CHRIS POV*****

I was sitting in my house drinking a beer watching a football game as Perdy and Dodger laid together on the floor. I begged Viv to let me take Perdy for the day since I hadn't seen her since that night I cooked for her. She was super busy with work, at least that's what she said but Dodger was missing Perdy and I couldn't do that to him. I grabbed my phone again and text Viv, just like the 5 had I sent her since I picked up Perdy.

CHRIS: How's work?

VIV: Busy writing.

CHRIS: Should I bring Perdy home later?

VIV: Keep her overnight if you want. She will be happy with Dodger.

CHRIS: Okay, I will bring back to you tomorrow.

VIV: Sounds great. Getting back to work. Have a good day.

I put the phone on the coffee table and I could catch the coldness from her. I had a feeling I knew why but I wasn't for sure. I heard the front door open.
"Hey! The game on?" I heard Scott asked.

"Yeah. Grab something to drink if you want one." I said as Scott passed him and went to the kitchen to get a beer. He came back in and saw Perdy on the floor with Dodger.

"Where is Viv?" Scott asked and I groaned.

"At her place, working." I said.

"But you have Perdy...." Scott said and I nodded.

"I know, I haven't seen her recently but Dodger was missing Perdy so I went and picked her up....from her neighbor." I explained.

"What the fuck did you do Chris?" Scott asked and I groaned.

"Nothing!" I protested.

"You did something. The girl hasn't seen you in days and then leaves her dog with her neighbor so you don't have to see her. You did something." Scott said and I just shook my head. We were silent for a minute and I sighed.

"I may have set some pretty unrealistic relationship rules and she isn't crazy about them." I said and Scott looked at him.

"Continue, I will tell you where you fucked up." Scott said and we both laughed.

"Well first of all, no sex. Not right away any ways." I said and Scott scoffed.

"Okay...I get not rushing it but keep going." Scott said.

"Well...I may have said only making out, no straddling, no touching, no kissing below the collarbone." I explained.

"So just kissing?" Scott asked and I nodded.

"Yeah pretty much." I said and Scott groaned and shook his head but stayed silent.

"You wanted to know now you stay silent?" I asked.

"Chris, you don't want to know what I have to say." Scott said.

"Actually I really so want to know." I said and Scott sighed and muted the tv.

"Chris...you have an amazing woman who wants to be with you and you are cutting off every advance she is making am I correct?" Scott asked and I nodded.

"Right and you aren't even thinking about how she feels. I mean has she told you she is okay with all of these stupid rules?" Scott asked and I looked at him.

"Come on Chris admit it, the rules are dumb. I know your history and I know you maybe don't want to sleep with her right away but you keep her pushed away long enough she is just going to go away for good. I mean she already had you pick up her dog at her neighbors place. What else has she done?" Scott asked and I thought about it.

"Well she was supposed to watch this game with us. She is a huge football fan and I mean Pats are playing the Giants, her team but then she said she had to get some work done. We were supposed to have dinner 2 nights ago and she was sick, and then we were supposed to take the dogs to the dog park yesterday and she couldn't." I explained and Scott looked at me like I was a dumbass.

"Chris, she is done. She has pushed you away. Congratulations, you lost one of the best girls you have ever had because of your own stupidity." Scott said and I groaned. I set my beer down on the coffee table.
"Watch the dogs." I said, grabbed my cellphone, my keys and left the house.

*****NORMAL POV*****

I was laying on my couch watching the football game I was supposed to be watching with Chris but I was done with him and his stupid rule shit. He had come by to pick up Perdy from Lexi because I couldn't stand to look at him right now. I had come up with excuses to not see him because I was really contemplating the whole thing. I wasn't saying I wanted to sleep with him right away but I wanted to touch him and I wanted to get us right to that point of sex but back off but I was barely allowed to touch him. I had lied to Chris and told him I was working and couldn't come over to watch the game today and it seemed to work. I was deciding what I wanted to order for dinner when there was a knock on my door and I groaned getting up. I walked to the door and as I opened it, it got pushed opened and Chris's lips attacked mine and I was in shock at first but he was gripping my face and passionately kissing me. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him into my apartment and he shut the door with his foot. Chris picked me up and carried me to my bedroom and laid me down on the bed with him hovering over me and our lips broke apart.
"Rules?" I asked and he shook his head.

"They were made to be broken, even by the person who made them." Chris said and passionately kissed me again and he started to take off my leggings and I grabbed for the hem of his shirt and our lips parted to take off each other's shirts. I grabbed his belt buckle and undid it and he finished getting his pants off. We were both in our underwear and I smiled at Chris and looked down his body best I could with him still over me.

"You have been hiding this?!" I asked and he laughed and leaned down to kiss me. As he did he lifted me up and unhooked my bra and I tossed it to the floor, Chris moaned feeling my naked chest against his. He lifted me up and pushed me back on the bed to where my head was on my pillows. He got on his knees and removed his boxers and my panties. I reached in the nightstand and pulled out a condom and he nodded. He took the wrapper and put it on once it was open. I spread my legs for him and he ran it up and down my slit.

"Please..." I begged and he smiled at me. He thrusted in hard and I cried out. He then didn't move letting me get used to his size, he was much bigger than I would have imagined.

"It's okay Chris." I said and he smiled and started slowly thrusting. I moaned as I arched my back wrapping my arms around his neck as he leaned down and started kissing my neck.

"Fuck Chris...." I said and he moaned in response.

"God Viv....you feel amazing." Chris said and I smiled as his lips connected to mine. I felt myself start to tighten around him and he felt it too grunting and thrusting faster. I wrapped my legs around him to take him deeper. I cried out my release and Chris quickly followed. Once we both rode out our orgasms Chris kissed me and rolled off of me. He went into the bathroom and disposed of the condom and came back to the bedroom grabbing his shirt, my panties and his boxers. I got my panties and shirt on as he put on his boxers. We laid in bed together and I laid my head on his chest.

"So this wasn't like a one-time thing right?" I asked and he chuckled as I looked up and him.

"Definitely not." Chris said and leaned down to kiss me.

"I love you..." Chris said and I looked at him shocked.

"It's sex after glow Chris." I said and he shook his head.

"I have felt it for a long time, since historical Boston date, our first date but I didn't want to scare you away. I know you may not feel it but I do love you Genevieve." Chris said and I smiled at him.

"I love you too." I said. Truth was I did love him, I couldn't hide it anymore. This man captured my heart.
