Right Place, Right Time

Chapter Seven

Four weeks after family day outs on the weekends and warm family night ins on weekdays Channing, Shannon, Chris and Chloe decided to go on a couples night out. Channing and Chris organised it all ready.

It was 7:30pm and Chris knocked on Chloe's door and smiled widely when she answered it. She took his head and they left. "You look fantastic." He complimented. She simply blushed. She was wearing a simple one strap sky blue dress that was longer at the back. She also wore white heels and a white cardigan and lots of jewellery. Her hair was up and she only wore light coloured lip stick. Chris however was wearing a grey suit and a green tie. "Where are we off to then?" Chloe wondered as she got into the car. He tapped the side of his nose and winked making her pout with disappointment. On the way to the 'secret' location they sang a long to 'Teenage Dirtbag' on the radio loudly. After quite a drive they arrived at a deserted beach. Chloe smiled at Chris and got out with him.

Chris and Chloe threw off their shoes and socks and ran down the beach hand in hand. "I'll race you to the sea!" Chris laughed childishly. Chloe giggled and ran as fast as she could towards the waves next to Chris. She won. "You got beat by a girl!" She mocked trying to control her out burst of laughter. "You're going to pay for that!" He yelled before playfully picking her up from behind and swinging her round which ended up with them both falling over onto the sand laughing their heads off. They both gazed up to the starry sky above them, their fingers interlocked, admiring the shimmering moon. "Full moon tonight." Chloe commented while looking at it cuddling into Chris. Chris nodded before replying "It's just as beautiful as my girlfriend." She cuddled closer into him. He turned to her. She met his loving gaze and beamed. Chris hovered over her and started deeply into her eyes before his stare focused on her lips instead. He leaned down slowly getting closer and closer to her lips. When their lips were millimetres apart he whispered "I love you so much." before making them one perfectly. Their lips fitted together as if they were made to be connected. Butterflies erupted in their stomachs when they broke apart. "I love you too." Chloe answered.

For half an hour Chloe sat in between Chris' legs resting her head on his chest as he played with her hair softly. "Do you want to meet my family next week?" Chris inquired curiously. He felt her nod. "I was going to ask you the same question! I'd love too. Let's get them together next week." Chloe suggested. Chris agreed and they returned home. They organised the meeting the next day.

8pm came and Shannon opened her door happily to reveal Channing. She took his hand and followed him into the car. "You look incredible." Channing complimented kindly. Shannon blushed at him. She wore a strapless knee length scarlet red dress that puffed out a little. She also wore a black lacy cardigan, black heels and her hair was put to the side with red heart earrings dangling from her ears. Channing on the other hand wore a white t-shirt, a grey blazer, black jeans and smart shoes. "Where are you taking me then?" Shannon wondered a they were driving through the city of London. "You'll see." He winked making her sulk with disappointment. On the way there they played a very intense game of 'When I went shopping' which Channing won. After a 30 minute journey they arrived at the London Eye. Shannon smiled at him and took his hand as they walked towards the guy who was running it.

The guy immediately recognised him and showed them to a capsule that was decorated beautifully. The middle bench part had a cream table cover draped over it with pink rose petals scattered on top. Two champagne flutes and a bottle of champagne and a packet of Hobnobs was placed upon it. "You organised this all for me?" She gasped feeling flattered. Channing nodded and passed her a glass before saying 'Cheers' and knocking his glass lightly with hers. They talked about anything and everything. At the top the London Eye stopped. "Ready for your surprise?" Channing questioned. Shannon looked at him curiously. Channing entwined his fingers with hers comfortably and all of a sudden a variety of coloured fireworks shot across the night sky in front of them. It was a wonderful display. "That was so perfect." Shannon beamed after the display had finished. "Exactly like my girlfriend." Channing commented sweetly. She turned to face him with a huge smile painted on her face. He brushed a loose strand of her hair from her face and stroked her cheek before placing one hand on the back of her neck and leaning in slowly. When their lips were almost connected he whispered "I love you to the moon and back." He finally placed his lips lovingly on hers. Their lips seemed like they were made to be put together. Butterflies took flight in their stomachs as they broke apart. "I love you too." Shannon answered.

The London Eye started moving again and Channing held her from behind with his muscular arms wrapped around her waist. "Would you like to meet my family next week?" Shannon asked happily. "Yes, I'll invite my family down to so we can have a big get together." He spoke back. Shannon shared looks of delight with him as she agreed.
