Mel's p.o.v.

Saturday morning

"Come on Mel, can you do me this favor?" Harry pleaded.

I sighed. "You know how much I love babysitting Dylan but today really isn't the right day. Chris and I are going to spend the day."

"Can't you just meet an other day?" Harry asked.

"Harry no." I said sternly.

"Please Mel! I can't change this appointment and I can't leave Dylan alone! You got to help your brother little sis." He pleaded again. I need to say no but I can't, I really can't.

I sighed again. "Ok! But only because Dylan is so cute."

"Thank you sis!" Harry kissed me on the cheek and hugged me tightly. "Let me grab his stuff." And with that he went upstairs.

"Aunt Mel!" Dylan yelled and hugged me. I just love his hugs.

"Look aunt Mel, I'm wearing my captain America T-shirt." He said proudly while showing me his T-shirt. I smiled at him but suddenly realized my day with Chris. I took my phone and started texting Chris.

Me:
I'm sorry Chris
but I have to babysit Dylan
You probably don't want to spend the day with me and Dylan

He responded very quickly.

Chris:
Are you crazy?
I love the little guy
Though not as much as I love you

Me:
So cheesy

Chris:
I know
I'll be at your place in an hour
Ok?

Me:
Perfect

"Come Dylan, let's go. Say bye to daddy first." I said.

"Bye daddy." He said while giving his father a big hug. I took the backpack with some of Dylan's stuff.

"Thanks again Mel, you're the best!" Harry said.

"I know." I replied and took Dylan's little hand in mine and we made our way to my car.

"You want a little snack?" I asked Dylan when we arrived at my apartment.

Dylan nodded from my couch, he was busy playing with some toys. After giving him his snack I sat down next to him.

"Can you tell me some more about your toys?" I always love it how he gives a story to each toy he has, it's so cute. He started talking about all his marvel action figures. He had this big hulk figure that was his favorite because he was so strong and big. His second favorite figure was captain America, this made me smile.

We got interrupted by my doorbell. I quickly walked to the door and opened it. On the other side stood Chris smiling widely.

"Hey." He said and leaned in closer. Before Chris could kiss me we got interrupted by Dylan.

"Aunt Mel, who's there?"

Me and Chris laughed at the same time. "Come in, I think he will be very happy to see you."

When we entered the living room Dylan noticed Chris and gasped. "Chris!" He said while running towards Chris and tackling him into a hug.

"Hey buddy." Chris replied to Dylan.

"Look Chris." Dylan said while showing his captain America T-shirt proudly.

"Wow, that's so cool." Chris said. Dylan was so enthusiastic, he showed Chris his captain America action figure and told story about school and other stuff. I still can't believe how open he is to Chris. Normally it takes some time for him to actually talk to new people but here he is, talking to Chris like he knows him for years.

Seeing those two together was so cute, Chris would make a great father. Mel, what are you even thinking about?!

"So Mel, I was thinking maybe we could go to my place?" Chris said. His place?

"Uhmm, I don't know. Are you sure?"

"Yeah and I think Dodger would love to see you again." Are you really going to play it like that? Before I could answer again Dylan was already packing his backpack with his toys and stood up.

"I'm ready." He said. I looked at Chris and we both started laughing.

"Looks like I don't have a choice." I said.

"No, you are coming with us. Even if I have to drag you out of here." Chris stated giving me a serious look. I gave him a questioning glance. Yeah, as if he would drag me out of here. He wouldn't dare.

That's the moment Chris did something I didn't expect him to do, he took he in his arms and lifted me like I weighed nothing. Don't get me wrong, it felt nice to be in his strong arms. I felt safe and protected...

Was I really falling so hard for Chris?

Chris' p.o.v.

This felt good, it felt right to hold Mel in my arms. I really want to keep her in my arms forever.

Am I really falling so hard for Mel?
