Breaking Point

Chapter 35

Katherine 

"You look handsome." I say to Chris when he fixes the lapels on his white shirt. He left a couple of buttons undone as always and he looks so sexy with his chest open. He's also wearing black pants with that chain that I like so much and grey Jordan's.

I walk over to him and he wraps his arms around my waist. "You look beautiful." He says and kisses my lips. I part them immediately and he runs his tongue over mine. Kissing him always makes my heart beat faster and my stomach flutter. Especially when he looks this good. He styled his black hair up and he shaved this morning, so it's very pleasant to run my fingers over his face.

"I actually don't want to have dinner anymore." I joke. Kind of.

Because we are both moaning and he pulls me closer to him as I tug at his hair. I have a feeling that we might just end up on the bed. We are going on a trip though and that's going to be like heaven. I don't know which one of us is more eager to go there, but I know that we might not leave the room for a while.

"Then let's not go..." He says into my mouth.

"Mmm... we have to." I say and pull away. He looks at me with those bright blue eyes, he's turned on, very. Me too, but we have to go downstairs before the guests arrive.

"Baby..." He pouts. Is he serious?

"Are you afraid of a family dinner or something?" I ask him sarcastically and he drops his hands.

"No, I'm not afraid of a fucking dinner." He raises his voice.

"What the hell is your problem?" I scowl at him.

"Nothing. Let's go." He takes my hand and we walk downstairs into the living room. I don't know what he's so worried about, but I don't like when he snaps at me.

I actually tried to come up with the best outfit, but still that would fit my personality. I think that a black dress tells more about me, then people might think...

So I decided to go with a mid length black dress, with a low v-cut on the front and back, with thin straps and a side cut on the left. I paired it with black heels and silver jewelry. The only gold being my Cartier bracelet.

The living room is half lit and very cosy with the fireplace working and the Christmas songs playing. Golden tree lights are on and the gold and red decorations on the tree sparkle from the light. My mom decorated the table with red table cloth and a beige runner with special Christmas tableware. Everyone is wearing their best clothes. Mom, who loves this holiday the most, is wearing a red dress and red lipstick, she even curled her hair.

When Chris and I approach the tree the doorbell rings and mom hurries to answer.

"Jackson! Karen!" She exclaims and hugs them before letting them in. Two girls appear in the doorway and step inside as well. "Girls, come on in." Mom closes the door and everyone gathers to greet the guests.

"Where are twins?" My aunt asks. She's a middle aged woman, who doesn't show her age at all. She looks thirty at most with her perfect brown hair and very lean body. Her husband on the other hand ages very quickly, from alcohol I suppose. "Oh, here they are." She walks toward me and gives me a hug before doing the same with Harvey. "Between us... "She whispers. "I always liked you two better." She says with a smile.

"Oh, hi." I hear Camilla say and I look at her to see that she's looking at Chris. Oh, I'm going to teach a lesson to her today.

"Camilla!" I say and take Chris's hand in mine. "So nice to see you, cousin." She's stupid, she can't detect the sarcasm in my voice, but Chris can and that's why he's smiling from ear to ear.
