We skipped Halloween. We stayed home with the baby watching TV and talking instead. We fell back into our friendship. But when he played with my fingers or hair, it meant something different. I wasn't due to work again until mid-January. Chris was enjoying his break, too. He was looking more into directing now. I knew he preferred that to acting.
"So what have you told your family?" I asked the weekend before Thanksgiving. Chris was lying on the couch with Aurora on his chest. They were watching the Disney channel together, it was just too adorable.
"About us? They knew it was going to happen. Mom asked if her future daughter-in-law was coming to Thanksgiving with her granddaughter." Chris patted Aur's back as she tried to see me. I sat on the floor next to them.
"Damn Lisa, don't get ahead of yourself or anything." I rolled my eyes.
"I told her you won't even have sex with me, so she's being a little ambitious."
"I'm sure you did. I told you December 31st I'll remove the chastity belt. I have a plan." I waggled my eyebrows at him.
"It better not be a plan for me to last long."
"Aww, poor Chris has to not have sex for a few months-"
"Six months, you at least have B.O.B. I only have my hand."
"Do you need me to make you feel better?" I offered. He narrowed his eyes at me.
"I am scared and intrigued. Go on."
"I think you know where this is going." I ran my tongue along my lower lip. He cleared his throat and sat up.
"Aur I think it's nap time." He cooed and got up, taking her to the nursery. I laughed and took their spot on the couch. I was flipping through the channels when he came back and sat next to me. "If your plan is to just tease me and give me blue balls, I'm out."
"I haven't done that to you in years." I climbed onto his lap, facing him. "So you think that I have an unfair advantage with B.O.B.? I like your hands." I grabbed one of his hands and brought the fingers to my mouth. I ran my teeth along his index finger and he smirked.
"I like yours better." I swiveled my hips, grinding into his lap. I felt him twitch through his gym shorts. I kept moving my body against his, a fully clothed lap-dance. At the same time I took his finger in my mouth and sucked. His breath hitched, his erection hard and hot against me.
"If I recall, my mouth isn't so bad either." I said after removing his finger and sliding down his body. I knelt between his legs as he continued to recline on the couch. His hands touched my face as I looked up at him.
"Alysa, I know you wanted to wait, you don't need to do this because you still feel guilty over us." I pulled his shorts over his hips and wrapped my hand around his length.
"Oh, we're not going all the way. But, this will give you some willpower to make it to New Years." I ran my hand up and down him as I talked. Then I tucked my hair behind my ears and took him into my mouth. His head fell back, hands grasping the couch cushions. I used one hand to fist the base as I took him to the back of my throat several times. I licked and sucked until he was sweating and moaning. I could taste him and felt him clench as he came in my mouth. I swallowed and stood up, a small smile on my swollen lips.
"Woah." He breathed and pulled his shorts back up. I went into the kitchen and came back out with some water. I listened for Aur, but he had managed to get her to sleep.
"Now, no more bitching or I'll make you wait longer and use B.O.B. in front of you next time." I sipped my water.

Thanksgiving was uneventful. No one mentioned that he had a different girlfriend last year. It spoke to the amount of girls that paraded through his life. Everyone had an aire of 'I told you so' when they saw Chris and I look at each other or touch each other. Aur was fascinated with her cousins. She watched them running around like she wanted to join them. She would smile and blabber at them when they went past and talked to her. But Chris was her hero, he always got the biggest smiles. She was in love with her daddy. There's no reason that Chris being such a good father would turn me on, but it did. And I think he knew it.
Christmas was exciting, since it was Aur's first.
"Don't you have to decorate too?" I asked. Aur was sitting by the tree trying to touch everything and falling over in the process. Chris was setting her upright after each tumble. I was wrapping presents and fighting Dodger over the ribbons. Chris looked at me sort of funny.
"When was the last time I spent the night at home?" He had a point. I guess it was before just before Thanksgiving.
"Huh, you could've asked before you moved in." I went back to wrapping.
"My mail still goes there so it's all good." He grabbed Aur as she tried to stand up holding on to the tree. "You two could come stay there sometimes."
"My house is better." I stuck my tongue out at him. "My little cottage in the woods."
"Yeah, I did a good job turning you into a Disney princess."
"Dodger, go do the dishes." He tilted his head and looked at me. "Not quite a princess, animals don't do my housework."
"Eh, what are you gonna do?" Chris shrugged. I knew he'd picked out this house because he loved it. It was private and rustic, perfect for Aur and me. But a part of me wondered if he picked it out with himself in mind too. At least if he moved in it wouldn't be front page tabloid news. Shit, no one had even got a picture of Aur yet. Boston was way better than L.A. in that way. When I was pregnant everyone wanted pictures of the bump. We managed to sneak out of Cali before anyone realized I had her.
"I think after I film in January...I'm going to take a break." I concentrated on trying to wrap an odd shaped box. "I love acting but, I hate being away from Aurora. I would take her with me but then she would be free game for everyone with a camera."
"Yeah, I was hoping to wait until she was a little older before anyone knew she existed. But press rounds are going to be a bitch. You're not pregnant anymore so they're going to figure you had her. Then all the questions, the gender, her name-"
"Her father." I looked at him with a smirk.
"I'm still on board with not telling anyone that, or about us. I don't want to drag you two into the spotlight." Aurora yawned and laid down on her belly, sucking her thumb. It was getting late.
"A part of me wants to hide it, another part wants to make a preemptive strike and just lay it all out. Bring her on the Ellen show, tell everyone you're her dad, and announce we're moving in together." I stood up and stretched, I still had 2 days before Christmas to finish wrapping.
"We'd break the internet. But once there's nothing to hide, there's nothing for anyone to look for." Chris got up and came over to me. "Did you say we're living together?"
"Why not? You can still keep your house as a bachelor pad, whatever. You may decide you can't stand living with me."
