Gently into the good night

Chapter 27-Like We Never Did Before

Two months later....

A lot has happened in one month since Chris has come home. Their launch party is in a week and Peter and Chris have officially declared themselves as a band named 'frequency'. Chris and Peter have also started working on their new album. I go for work as usual and recently I had been invited by Steve to their home along with Chris, Peter and Naomi. Everything seems better now like it's finally fallen back into place.

Chris comes home, it's 9PM and I am on the phone with Naomi.

"You're coming right?" Naomi says

"I think I am, I am not sure I fit in very well"

"Don't be absurd. The designers want to meet us tomorrow morning. I am coming to your place"

"I guess it's settled then" I reply

"I am sorry I have to leave. Good night"

"Good night" I say and hang up.

Chris and I have a silent dinner. We both seem quite hungry so none of us strike a conversation and none of us take offense.

"We need to talk about something" he says keeping his plates on the kitchen counter.

"Alright" I reply with evident fear in my eyes.

He nods and goes to the kitchen to wash his dish and then he walks up to his bedroom. Heart is beating a little faster than usual. As always he is sitting on the bed and scribbling something on a piece of paper. I sit down beside him.

"You looked tensed" he says

"No, I am okay. You said we needed to talk"

"Oh yeah! Don't get angry or hysteric okay?" he says looking deep into my eyes. I nod biting my lip.

"Okay" I choke out.

"Okay so on 10th of December is the album launch party and then from 15th I don't have work anymore until 7th of January. So you and I leave Liverpool on 20th and I'll drive you somewhere special I've planned for us. We come back on the 3rd of January, only you and I alone in my special place. How does that sound?" he says with a grin.

"Like a fairly-tale" I reply. I see his lips curl up into a warm ecstatic smile

"Hey I need to take a shower. I just feel really greasy after work today" I say and get up to go to the bathroom. The warm water feels good against my body and refreshing as well. I love warm baths in the night during winter. They are the absolute best. Chris always takes a shower right after coming back home; it actually helps him sleep better as he says.

I wrap myself in the towel as I walk outside the bathroom. As I close the door behind me I see Chris look at me with a smirk. He examines me with a hint of mischief in his eyes. I bite my lip and smile at him.

He runs his hand through his messy dark brown hair and says "You drive me crazy when you bite your lip like that. In a good way that is" he says smirking.

"Oh Really?" I say with a smile. He nods and gets up from the bed, walking towards me with mischief in his eyes. He takes off his shirt in one swift motion. I ogle his muscles and feel so lucky to be there. I look at each and every curve in his body with appreciation and lust.

I don't know what happened but something happens inside of me. My body tenses up a little bit and I feel the muscle contract and relax inside my body. He holds my face and as he looks at me. He is smiling at me almost reflecting my same exact emotions.
