13/31 (Kinda On Hold)

XVI: Breathe Into Me

A/: Sorry for the delay, we've both been incerdibly busy with personal things, but here it is. This chapter is so fun, AHAHAHAHAHAHA, enjoy...

I pulled my hair to the side, allowing Chris to unzip my dress, and he does so, as well as taking the opportunity to unlatch my bra. It quickly falls to the floor, and let my hair fall back in place. He wraps his arms around my waist, placing a kiss on my neck.

"You handled them better than I thought you would."

I turn around, staring up into his eyes, "thank you, I'm rather impressed by the fact that none of your brothers are lying dead on your kitchen floor."

I grab the dress and bra off the floor, step out of my panties and place them all in the basket half-filled with clothes in the closet. Chris has already removed his shirt and pants, having surpassed his cut off time for pants.

"They would've been if it weren't for you," he mumbles.

I climb into bed next to him, "I'm eternally grateful that you didn't, it means a lot that you're willing to partake in this whole endeavour just for my sake."

"There's a lot of shit I would do to make you happy whether I enjoyed it or not, this is barely scraping the surface."

"Thank you Chris. No one else has ever so much as uttered a thought like that. It's still rather surreal that this what my life has become, and now that I get to spend the rest of with you. Someone so beautiful, caring, and lovely, someone I would sacrifice my all for, and that I can trust would do the same for me."

"Of course, Scarlett." He smiled, opening his arms.

I crawl into his arms, resting my head on his chest, "I love you."

"I love you too, Scar."

I relax in his hold, snuggling against his chest and in the blankets draped around us, quickly succumbing to sleep.

We both remain wrapped in a heavy sleep, until morning arrives and Vinny bursts into the room, scaring us both awake, and continuing to anger Chris. The loud slamming of the door initially wakes me enough to start opening my eyes, and then he began to yell.

"RISE AND SHINE MOTHERFUCKERS!", his voice rips through the quiet morning air. "It's time to get out of bed and feed everyone."

At this point Chris was just barely waking and was already tightening his grip around my body. Vinny strolls across the room, towards our bed, then does the worst thing he could've done at the moment. He grabs the end of the comforter, and yanks it off our bodies. Exposing my nude body and Chris' only clothed in boxers.

"What the fuck?" He growls.

"Oh shit, your girl sleeps naked?" Vinny exclaims, eyeing my body.

"Fuck off, dude." Chris says, pulling the covers back over my body.

Vinny holds up his hands in surrender, "whatever, just hurry up, I'm starving."

"Have you asked one of the maids or servants to cook something up?" I ask, irked but still too tired to deal with yelling at him, or anything of the sort.

"Oh, thanks, I forgot.You two have fun." He says, slipping out of the room and allowing the door to sam shut behind him.

"Fucking idiot," Chris mumbles, rubbing his face. "Sorry about him, he's the youngest and is used to getting shit handed to him whenever he demands."

"It's okay, it's not anything I can't handle. I'll have a word with him later."

"Good luck with that, it'll go in one ear and out the other."
