A Best Friend's Promise - Completed

Chapter 13

Lisa woke up alone in the bed in their room. She remembered last night in the shower. She never thought kissing could be so exhilarating. Then there was the other thing, those three words she heard or did she dream it.

"Hey sleepy head, how did you sleep?"

Chris was dressed only in long pajama bottoms, hanging low on his hips and his feet bare. He got on the bed and from the foot of the bed he walked on his hands and knees up to where she was sitting now, almost like a wild animal stalking his prey. Lisa moved closer to the top of the bed until she was pressed up on the headboard. "Chris, don't you come closer now." She warned with a giggle.

"You have nowhere to go." Chris said with that husky voice and jumped at her. "She was in his arms again and the kissing started again.

Minutes later Lisa was lying with her head on his arm staring ceiling. "Any changes?" Lisa didn't mind the distraction from what was going on outside but they had to face reality. They were stuck in the safe room because a dangerous man had come to kill her and her baby, the same man that killed the father of her unborn child and the same man that wanted to kill Chris the man she loved.

"Still the same, they are still waiting. Maybe they are waiting for reinforcements of their own or they are not sure if we are still here. My father could have misled Judith by telling her we have moved to a different location. I am really not sure what is going on. My father said the first help would be here in two hours and they will be here in five hours. I think we must eat and get dressed. You wouldn't want to leave here dressed in those sexy nighties and on a hungry stomach.

"What do you suggest I wear?"

"Something you can run in that is comfortable and get something that is warm that I can put in the backpack for you, we don't know what could happen."

Lisa got off the bed but before she could get too far Chris grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him.

Chris was still sitting on the bed while Lisa stood in front of him. "I meant what I said last night."

"What did you say?" Lisa asked with butterflies in her tummy. She wanted to hear those words again.

"You know what I am talking about." Chris looked at her smiling.

"I know I dreamed something but I cannot say for sure that we are thinking of the same thing."

"Oh Lisa, then I must say it again." He stood so he could hold her as close as he possibly could. "I love you. More than I ever thought possible. You make me so happy."

Lisa looked at him with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Are those tears of joy or of sadness?"

"Joy." Lisa said and stood on her toes to kiss him.

Chris pulled away to stare at her. "Don't you have something that you want to say to me?"

Lisa pretended to think about it and shook her head. "No, nothing."

"Really, I just told you I love you and you have nothing to say to me?"

"Thank you."

"I see, you are going to make me work for it."

Lisa wiggled out of his hold and ran to the walk in. She closed the door behind her and stood against it. She was really happy right now and it felt like nothing could ever change that.

"You cannot stay there forever. I will get you."

Lisa dressed in jeans and a halter top that flared out to the bottom to make space for her pregnant belly. She slipped into comfortable pump that was made for hiking. She took out a hoody that was big and comfortable to put into the backpack. When she was done she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and do everything else she was supposed to.
