"It's... it's beautiful." My eyes were wide open in amazement. I felt Chris's arms go around my front and he rested his head on my shoulder. I looked up and back and kissed his cheek.

"I'll be back in a few minutes, in just going to see if I can take you into the pit and in the wings. I may be able to get you on stage, it depends on the construction team though, and the safety." The lady touring us said before she walked off leaving Chris and I alone.

"I can't believe I get to perform on that stage." I said looking out at the huge stage in front of us.

"I know babe. I can't wait to perform on that stage with you. We are going to have the time of our lives." I looked up at him, a glimmer in my eyes. "How do you say kiss me?"

"Bésame," I sung just as we did as we stood like this in sunrise.

Chris turned me around in his arms and smirked at me. "Bésame."

"Bésame." He then put his hand to my neck and pulled me into a kiss. I rested my hand on the back of his head as our lips connected. Every time Chris kissed me I felt the fireworks go off again. His lips were so soft and gentle, and the way he kissed me was so loving and genuine. I smiled against them as we kissed passionately. I was tempted to bite his lip and let it snap back, before I remembered we were in the middle of a Broadway theatre. I pulled away and he took me to one of the seats. He sat down and pulled he onto his lap. I felt his lips against my neck as he began to bite and suck on my skin.

I scrunched my shoulders up and turned my face. "Chris, babe, not now. Later my love. At home." He ignored me and went harder, a small pain grew in my neck. "Chris. Please don't." I felt for a moment that he was moving too fast, I began to slightly cry. "Not in public, I don't want to leave here with visible hickeys. Please. Later, I promise." He pulled back from my neck. I could feel the heat from where he'd left a hickey there. I rested my hand on the large reddish purple patch on my skin, as if I had a strong neck pain. I had slight tears falling from my eyes. Chris turned me around and saw my tears and looked worried.

"Mandy. What's wrong sweetie?" He asked in a worried and concerned voice. I had a feeling he didn't hear me asking to stop.

"Not here Chris. At home. Please. And... I... I don't want to move too quickly. I want to go slow and steady. If I leave here with loads of hickeys then that instantly shows our relationship to the world and I don't want that babe. I'm sorry, but not right now." I whimpered.

"I'm so sorry sweet heart. I should have checked with you first." He held my head to his chest as I cried small salty tears into his shirt.

"It's okay. I should have told you before. It's just that it took me three years to tell Adam I loved him, but it was too late, and looking back, our entire relationship, it was all me just trying to please him. I was such a child back then, just wanting love. That took three years. I told you I loved you as soon as you asked me to be your girlfriend. I'm in love Chris, I'm in love with you and I want to be with you forever. I now know what love feels like. Love is what it's like to be with you. I just don't want to rush. I hope you understand." I finally look up at him with glassy eyes.

"I'm sorry Mandy and I do understand. I'm in love with you as well. I never thought I would find love again. But I have and I couldn't be happier. I only want to make you happy, make Doug happy, make us happy as a family, together. You two are the two most important people in my life right now, and I only want what's best for you."

I smiled up at him, "thank you baby." I kissed him lightly on the cheek before hugging him. He hugged back and I felt so much better again.

The lady returned and showed us the costume room, hair and makeup, the pit and we were fortunate enough to be allowed onstage. I stared out at all the empty seats. "Babe, in six months, all these chairs will be filled with people who are here to see us. This is really happening." I said excitedly.

"I know gorgeous. And we get to experience it together, which makes it even more special." Chris stood behind me and gave me a shoulder massage. After a few minutes I took his hands and pulled them over my shoulders and held his hands in mine resting against my chest. I leaned back into him as he supported me. The two of us just stood there taking it all in before we eventually had to leave. We walked out the theatre smiling.

"That was a wonderful date. I loved it so much, thank you." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and took his hand ready to go home.

"We aren't done yet gorgeous. I'm taking you out for lunch before we go get Doug." He kissed my forehead as I squeeze his hand.

"Okay then, lead the way mi amor."
