Intrepid - ChrisMD

I apologize for the long wait, you might need to re-read the last chapter if you've forgotten anything.

Rose

"You absolute knob!" I screamed as Simon kicked a ball at me purposely.

"Not my fault you weren't paying attention love. Maybe if you would stop staring at Chris you wouldn't get hit with a football." He winked and I felt my cheeks heating up in a blush.

We had taken our entire day to film for all of the guys' channels and also to prepare for the upcoming charity match.

"I'm not staring at him." I said taking my ball and going up in front of the camera. I had finally agreed to film with them, much to my dismay. Though it made my friends happy so I was glad to do it.

"Finally making an appearance on any of our channels, is Christopher's girlfriend Rose!" Harry said pushing me into the shot.

"Not his girlfriend, but hello." I waved to the camera and looked to Chris who was stood on my left.

"You're basically my girlfriend, love."

"You never asked me, Christopher." I said in the same tone as him.

He smirked at me and we continued to film the video.

"Annie try and actually hit the ball this time." JJ teased her.

"It's not my fault I'm bad. I'm American." Annie retorted.

"So am I." I said with a laugh.

"Yeah but you're special. You actually care about this damned sport." We all pretended to be offended when she called it 'this damned sport'.

Four hours and five videos later, we were finished with everyone's videos and we were on our way home.

Chris sat next to me in the back of Simon's car and put his hand on my thigh. I looked at him from the side of my eyes and I saw him with a slight smirk on his face. This cheeky little shit.

Once we had arrived back at Chris' apartment I flopped down on the couch and cuddled into a pillow.

"What you're not going to pay attention to me?" Chris asked jumping on the other side of the couch. I looked up at him with a blank expression on my face. "Well?"

"I'm too tired to pay attention to you. " I said putting my face back into the pillow. I felt Chris move towards me and he ran his hands through my hair. "Mmm that feels nice." I mumbled into the pillow. He continued to do this and I eventually sat up, straddling his lap and wrapping my arms around him. I buried my face into his neck and he let out a small laugh, hugging me tight against him.

I pressed a kiss to his neck and took a deep breath. Chris ran his hand along my lower back before sliding a hand up my shirt to rest on my bare waist. "Feeling a bit cheeky Christoph?" I asked moving my head back to look at him.

"Yeah a bit." I sat my butt down on his lap and leaned in for a kiss.  I began to run my hands through his hair and I felt him bite my lip gently, causing a small moan to escape my lips.

"I want you to be mine." Chris whispered against my lips.

"I'm basically already yours Chris." I kissed him with more intensity.

"Let's go out later." Chris suggested.

"And do what?"

"I want to go to the river. I haven't been there in a while."

"I haven't been there at all, so let's do it."

Just about an hour later I had decided to head back to my flat so I could shower and get ready. I unlocked my door and walked in, seeing Callum and Annie cuddled up on the couch watching shameless.

"Oi." I caught their attention and they turned towards me.

"Where have you been?" Annie asked.

"Chris' place."

"Should've guessed that."

"He actually asked me on a proper date again." Annie's eyes widened and she jumped up, running towards me and tackling me down.

"Rose you and him need to make this official! She screamed.

"I know I know, we will eventually. I replied with a laugh.

"You two are proper cute." Cal said from his spot on the couch.

"Thank you Callum." I smiled at him and stood up, brushing myself off. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready for my date." Annie let out a little squeal as I walked down the hall to my room.

I took a quick shower and dried my hair, straightening it so it was presentable and then heading to my room wrapped in my towel to pick out what I was going to wear. I found a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a cute off the shoulder top. I paired it with a pair of sandals and decided to do very minimalistic makeup.

Chris had texted me telling me it would probably be late by the time we were done and I should probably just bring an overnight bag to spend the night. I packed up the essentials: pajamas, toothbrush, clothes for tomorrow, and other toiletries.

After I had finished packing my stuff I was on my way down to the car park. I found my car parked in the same spot I always park it and I began the drive to Chris' place.

Once I arrived I walked up to his flat and knocked, hearing him rushing towards the door.

"Hello lovely." He smiled as he opened the door.

"Hey lovelier." I smiled back and giggled at our cheesiness. It was a good type of cheesy though, one I couldn't get enough of.

"You ready?" He asked. I nodded and sat my bag down inside and then proceeded to follow him down to his car.

He ran to my side and tried to open the door for me, only to discover it was locked. I laughed at this and he unlocked the door, blushing and opening it for me. I kissed his flushed cheek and got into the vehicle. He got into the drivers side and began to take us to the river.

"So Chris, what have you planned?"

"Dinner and drinks on a boat sound good to you?"

"Are you kidding? That sounds amazing."

"Well then I guess I do know you quite well." He parked the car and I got out, walking to the other side of the car and taking his hand, allowing him to lead me to the boat.

He gave them his last name and showed him his online ticket and they let us on the boat.

"Chris this is beautiful." I said looking out the widow from our seat. The sun was setting over the Thames and the sky had a pretty pink glow to it.

"I thought you'd love it. I'm glad you do." He reached across the table for my hand and held it in his.

"I really do, thank you for this."

"Anything for you."

After dinner Chris took us back to his place where I began to get myself ready for bed. A day of football and then a night out really makes a person tired.

"Chris do you have a tshirt I can wear to bed?" I called as I brushed my teeth.

He came into the bathroom with a tshirt in hand, setting it on the counter for me. "Thanks love." I said rinsing my mouth.

"No problem, I'll be in the bedroom." He left the bathroom and I changed into a pair of spandex shorts and the shirt he left me. It smelled of his cologne and laundry detergent, making me feel all warm and cozy.

I turned off the bathroom light and padded my way to the bedroom. Chris was laying in bed on his phone, waiting for me.

"I hate to move you from your comfortable position, but I have to sleep on the left." I said standing at the end of the bed.

"You're so weird." He moved to the right side and I crawled into bed with him.

"Goodnight Rosy." He said kissing my forehead.

"Goodnight Christoph." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, allowing me to get comfortable as I fell into a nice slumber.
