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

Chapter Ten

I returned home a while later to Chris's house. I walked in and saw him sitting there on the chair, watching sports as usual.

"Hi baby, what's up?" I said to him, sitting beside him and taking his hand in mine.

"Oh nothing. How was Adam."

"He was fine. Chris are you mad.."

"No Bella. I'm fine. But can I have another chance."

"What do you mean.."

"I think you love Adam more than me."

"Chris. I used to love Adam. Maybe I still miss him. But I love you more than anything in this world. Is this why you didn't want to keep the plan to marry me.."

"I thought you didn't love me. Yeah. It is."

"Chris I do love you, why would you ever think that?"

"Because Bella. I saw you with Adam and you looked happier than usual."

"Chris. If I looked happier than usual it was because I haven't seen Adam in years."

"Alright then Bella. Okay. Let's try this again.."

Chris reaches into his pocket and pulls the ring out.

"Bella Quinn, for the second time. Will you.. Marry me beautiful?"

"Chris. Yes."

He slides the beautiful ring back on my finger. I kiss him.

"Chris.. You know that you told me I could see Adam like we used to 'see' each other before.. So why did you get so upset.."

"Bella, because I love you, and I don't want you to end up back with Adam, because I'm looking forward to the rest of my life with you.."

"Chris.. But you kissed Trish Stratus. And you even told me you wouldn't get jealous or mad at me.."

"I know I did Bella, but I thought I was going to lose you.." Chris said to me, tears welling in his eyes.

"Chris please don't.." I whispered.

"Bella I can't help it. The thought of losing you is just.. It really hurts.." He said through tears.

"Chris, you're not going to lose me and I'm not going to lose you.. I promise."

Tears fell from his eyes, onto my hand as I tilted his head back up with my fingers. His beautiful blue eyes were filled with tears.

"Chris.. Please don't cry.. I love you Chris.. Please don't believe anything else.. You mean everything to me.. I'd give up my whole life for you Chris.. Baby please.."

"Bella.. I love you.. I'm sorry Bella I'm so sorry.."

"Sorry for what baby.."

"Sorry I'm such an idiot.." He whispered.

"Chris.. If anyone's an idiot it's me.. Baby.. I'm sorry.. It's all my fault.. I'm the whole damn reason you feel like this right now.. I love you Chris.. You don't believe me do you.."

"Bella.. I do believe you.. But sometimes it feels like you don't.."

"Chris. Why do you say that?"

"Because. You seem to like to hang around other guys than me. And you kissed Phil and Adam.. Without any first thoughts.."

"Chris. Look at me. Please." He wouldn't. I tilted his head back up.

"Christopher Keith Irvine. If this doesn't prove I love you more than anything, then I don't know what will." I whispered, with a hand on his face and the other on the back of his head.
