Ours (Chris Evans)

Bella's POV

The lead up to Christmas is well underway and it's one of Bella's favourite times of year despite the rush of work that comes in the first couples of weeks in December.
Clients want helping turning their houses into winter wonderlands and she is more than happy to help since she loves all things Christmas and decorating.

With work being quieter for the last two weeks before Christmas this is when she crams in all the Christmas activities.

From winter wonderland in the evening with all the Holland siblings and Harrison, where they eat too much and pray they aren't sick on the rides.
There's the annual Christmas movie marathon with both families and the annual cookie competition where they all decorate cookies and it always ends in dispute over the winner.

The multiple shopping trips to find the perfect gifts and having to help the others shop as well.
Amongst that she tries to fit in regular calls to Chris.

She misses him.

It's hard for her to admit it but she does, their time spent together in Boston was amazing and after nearly four weeks together, not being together everyday is tough.

She had just fallen asleep after deciding to take a nap to try and fight this cold she feels coming on, when her phone starts to ring startling her and instantly pissing her off.
When she grabs the phone and sees it's Chris's her mood changes.

"Hey" she says groggily answering the FaceTime.
"Shit sorry were you sleeping. Wait isn't it still early there for you to be sleeping?" he asks.
"Yeah I was having a nap, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold and I have too many plans to be sick" she sniffles.

"In that case I should let you rest" she sees the longing in his eyes.
"No it's fine" she partly smiles at him.
"I wish I was there with you" he admits.
"I miss you too. I was thinking...." She begins but stops biting on her lower lip full of nerves.

"What?" Chris asks.
"Maybe it's time we told our parents" she finally says.
"Only if you're sure" he checks and she just nods in response.
It's still weird for her to think that Chris Evans is her boyfriend, it's what most girls dream about except she's actually living and breathing it.

"Then I think that's a great idea" he smiles down the phone at her and she lets out the breath she's been holding.

"Everyone here has been making assumptions but obviously only Tom, Zendaya Harrison know it's you. There has been some pretty wild guesses" she laughs.
"Oh really? Like who?" Chris asks.
Is that jealousy in his tone?

"Tom Hiddleston being one, Harry Styles being another" she laughs.
"Really. Well I guess with them guessing Tom it won't come as too much of a shock when you tell them it's me" yep that's definitely jealousy she's hearing in his tone.

"Hey it's you I'm with okay, it's just everyone trying to guess who it is that's putting a smile on my face and that person would be you" she tries to reassure him.
"I know I'm sorry" he shakes his head.

"Bella you awake I brought you some soup" Tom says walking into the room "oh sorry" he says realising she's on the phone.
"It's fine" she smiles at him.

"I will do it tomorrow and let you know how it goes" she smiles back to Chris.
"Okay miss you get better soon" he blows a kiss.
"Miss you too" she blows a kiss back before hanging up.

"Sorry" Tom says walking over and handing her the tray before settling in the bed next to her.
"Tom you're gonna get sick if you sit with me" she tries to nudge him without spilling the soup.

"Oh please we both know you're a baby when you're sick and you hate being alone" he teases her whilst turning on her TV and she rolls her eyes at him because it is true.
Damn him for knowing her so well.

"Oh what you doing tomorrow?" He now asks her.
"Telling the family about me and Chris" a smile spreads across her face.
"About time" he side hugs her.

"Do you think mum and dad will care? I mean Harry guessed Tom H and mum didn't seem to mind. Dad on the other hand did say he's too old for me" she takes a sip of soup.

"Bells it will be fine it's clear as day that you're happy and that's all they will care about" he comforts her.
He puts friends on and she finishes her soup all while her mind is racing with what tomorrow may bring.

The next morning she still feels like crap but she doesn't want to halt the Christmas festivities, but first thing is a stop at her parents house to tell her that Chris and her are dating.

Just as she's bundled up and about to put her coat on there's a knock on the front door and Tom just looks at me with a huge smile on his face.
"Why are you smiling like an idiot, it's weird cut it out" she throws her hat at him as she moves to answer the door.

She blinks a few times not sure if she's hallucinating from all the cold medicine she's taken.
"Hey pretty girl" Chris stands in her doorway before moving them inside so not to draw attention to himself.

"You're actually here" she whispers and he suddenly moves to take her in his arms and her legs instinctively wrap around his waist.
"I'm here" he laughs against her before pulling her into a deep kiss.

"Wait I'm sick I don't want you getting ill" she tries to wiggle out of grip but he doesn't let her.
"I don't care I've missed you" he kisses her again.
"Alright eww I don't need to see that" Tom teases.

"Oh please I've put up with you and Zendaya" Bella pokes her tongue out at him.
"How long you here for?" She turns her attention to Chris.
"For Christmas if you will have me" he grins at her.
"Are you sure you don't mind being away from your family?" She chews on her bottom lip.
"I don't mind if it means I get to spend it with you" and her heart melts at those words.

"Best Christmas" Bella cheers leaning back in to kiss Chris.
"Wait how did I not notice you weren't home when you called me yesterday" she asks confused.
"I did wonder if that would give me away but clearly not" he laughs.
"I blame the cold and the medicine" she laughs wondering how she missed that yesterday.

He finally places her back onto the ground keeping his arms wrapped round her.
"You on your way out?" He asks noticing her shoes on.
"I was actually on my way to tell my parents with Tom as support" she says nervously.

"Well now you have us both as support and I told my mom yesterday and she's desperate to meet you so hopefully you can come to Boston in New Year?" He asks hopeful.
"I could probably do a couple of days but after new year is the whole new year new me stuff and clients love to redecorate, but we will figure something out" she smiles up at him.

"Why don't you shower and we can wait till you feel fresher to go to my parents" she squashes herself against him in a hug.
"Okay I won't be long" he kisses her again before taking his luggage upstairs.

"There's that smile" Tom teases her.
"Oh shh you" she playfully hits him.

God she's missed Chris and now she's got him here for over a week and gets to share some of her families Christmas traditions with him.
This feels like it's going to be the best Christmas yet.
