The Lioness (A Chris Jericho Fanfic) (Chris Jericho Love Story)

Chapter Four

After a thirty minute walk in my pajamas I get home and walk inside. I lay on my couch and thoughts keep running across my mind.

"What have I done.. I ran out on him.. He's gonna hate me.. Why did I do this.. I have to tell him how I really feel about him.. But I can't.. Stupid ass shyness! Why can't I just tell him! What the fuck is wrong with me?!"

The pairing rain pounded on my roof. Three slow but loud knocks came about my door.

"Bella open up!"

"Oh god Chris.." I think to myself..

I opened the door and saw his blue eyes before anything else.

"Bella I love you. Really, I do. But you won't tell me anything. It really bothers me that you're so stubborn about this. Don't be afraid to tell me Bella.. I need to know this.. It won't hurt you to tell me.. Please Bella."

"Well maybe it's going to hurt you!" I shout and slam the front door right in his face.

I push my hair away from my face and lean on the door. I hear him knocking again and saying my name. Tears well in my eyes and I can't take it anymore. I burst into tears and open the door.

"Chris I'm sorry. I'm sorry I treat you like an ass, I'm sorry I'm such a bitch! I'm sorry I always act like this. I'm sorry Chris!" I say trying to stop the tears from falling.

He pulls me into his warm, comforting arms.

"Bella please stop crying over me.. The relationship we have might be a hell of a crazy one, but I love it. Because you're the only thing that keeps me going. If it weren't for you I would be totally worthless.."

Our arms wrapped around each other I cried into his shoulder. He smelled of his amazing cologne.

"Chris.. The only reason I'm crying right now.. Is because I love you.. More than anything in this world okay.. Don't ever forget that.."

He puts his finger under my chin and tilts my head up until our eyes meet.

"You finally told me.." He said softly. I stared in his beautiful blue eyes and he pulled me in towards him. He kissed me lightly and we walked back to his house as the rain subsided. We got to his front door and he unlocked it, picking me up and carrying me upstairs. He laid me down on his huge bed and things got heated up in the bedroom between the two of us. He locked the door, and pulled off his shirt. Everything changed.. He talked about sexual tension destroying our friendship.. Well that tension was all gone now.. He got exactly what he'd been begging for this whole time..

"Chris.. I.. I.. Love you.." I said completely out of breath, and red in the face.

He chuckles and kisses me on the lips.

"Bella I really should stop, just your kisses could start everything over again.. Haha."

"I guess so. Well.. It's only 12 noon.. What should we do now.."

"A wine? Lunch?"

"Sounds good Chris, I'll cook I guess." I say with a smile.

"Hey now, I'm the man here, I'm talking about taking you out." He says smiling faintly.

"Awe my Fozzy Bear!" I say smiling.

"You know about the band aye?"

"Well duh Chris. We've known each other twelve years. Of course I know about your band, I've only been in the front row of practically every concert. Why do you think I sold my Camaro? All that money went toward concert tickets!" I say.

"I know Bella, I'm just joking, but I am a little drunk on your kisses.. But really you sold your Camaro when I could get you in for free.."

"Yeah Chris."

"You're really a fan, haha." He says chuckling, pulling me into his arms.

"Bella we can go out for dinner later, I'm not leaving this bed yet beautiful."

"Haha okay then."

He kissed me and there was round number two.

"Oh my god Chris. Let's just stay here. I'll make you dinner. We can go out tomorrow, okay, baby?"

"Baby? You serious?"

"Well duh Chris.. I love you.."

"Bella.. You don't know how much that means to me.." He said moving off of me.

We both got up and I out my clothes on. Finally, normal clothes. He changed too, and we walked downstairs together. It was only 2:30 so we had some time until I made him dinner. We sat on his lounge couch and I leaned into him, lying my head on his shoulder. He smiled and I took his warm hand. Our fingers wrapped together.

"You know Bella.. I need you in my life. I need you forever.. I love being around you.. I love having you by my side. Bella I'm lost without you. I dream of you all the time.." He says softly.

"Aww Foz Bear!" I say squeezing his hand. My eyes fill with tears.

"Aww Princess! Don't cry, I know I have that kind of touch but please baby.." He says softly.

I giggle a little.

"Chris. Dammit. Without you I would be completely dead. Seriously I'm sorry for our past. I was a bitch. And I'm sorry. Sorry I put you through all the bullshit. Baby, I love you. Never forget that.."

"Bella, I love you princess.." He says softly and quietly. This makes me blush so hard. My face turns a bright red and I let my hair fall to the sides of my face to hide it.

Suddenly though Chris brushes my hair away and takes my chin in his fingers, turning my head towards him. I smile faintly staring deep into his blue eyes. He leans in and his lips touch mine. He softly kissed me and I kissed him back. I moved my hands up his sides to his face. Holding his face, I pushed him down on the couch and he slid his hands down my back onto my ass. Only this time I didn't mind it..

"Mhmmm Bella.." He moans in my ear.

"Dammit Chris here we go again.."

"Oh what the hell, nothing better to do." He says breathily with moans.

We were having a pretty heated make out session until two heavy knocks came about his front door.

"Oh god Bella, get that, little Jericho can't control himself."

I kissed him and ran my finger down his torso.

"Got it Chris."

His smile sent tingles up my spine as he lay there with his arms above his head, breathing like there was no oxygen in the whole room.
