If I fell (Chris Pratt fanfic)✅

Chapter 10

Belle and Allie stayed at the beach till almost 5:00. After sitting in 30 minutes of traffic and stopping by IN-N-OUT to grab a burger, Belle had enough time to drop Allie off at home, run home herself, get Killen and rush to the dog park. She still had the smell of suntan lotion on her skin and her hair had the sexy beach waves vibe thanks to the salt water.

Chris had said he and Jack would find her, so she found a bench and started tossing the tennis ball for Killen to chase. It was after 6:30 and Belle anxiously looked at her watch.

"Told you I'm always late." She heard a voice call out behind her. Quickly spinning around her face broke out in a huge smile. Chris and Jack were walking up behind her. And Chris looked amazing. In a baseball cap, gray t-shirt and jeans that were tight in just the right places (the butt) she had to stop herself from tackling him for a kiss.

"Killen sit." She instructed. Killen tilted his head but did as he was told.

Jack and Chris made their way to the bench where Belle was seated, and Chris knelt to be level with her and Jack.

"Jack this is my good friend Belle."

"Hi Jack!" Belle said enthusiastically.

"Hi." He murmured shyly not making eye contact with her while shoving his little hands in his pockets.

Belle looked at Chris with an unsure smile.

Chris nodded assuredly.

"Is this your dog?" Jack peered at Killen with interest.

"It is! This is Killen. Killen meet Jack, and Chris." She looked up at Chris with an adoring smile. "He loves to play fetch. Do you want to throw him his ball?"

Jack paused for a minute before timidly nodding and accepting the ball from Belle's outreached hand.

Jack played fetch with Killen for over half an hour. It didn't take long until Jack warmed up and kept yelling "Daddy!! Ms. Belle LOOK!" and he would toss the ball to Killen who would happily chase after it and bring it back for another throw.

"He's the cutest thing in the world." Belle said to Chris as they sat on the bench watching the 2 go back and forth with the tennis ball.

"He gets it from his dad." Chris nudged her playfully, his touch sending electricity through her.

"Yes, he does." Belle agreed. She nudged him back but kept her arm close enough to his that they were touching.

"That's probably not a good idea." Chris said biting his lip looking around the park.

"What?"

"Being so close to me. I want nothing more than to kiss you right now and not stop there." He smiled and waved at Jack who was jumping up and down excitedly because Killen had caught the ball in his mouth.

Belle chewed her lip devilishly and scooted closer to Chris, now her leg touching his, sending a scorching fire throughout his legs.

Chis snickered, "You think you're cute. But payback is hell."

Feeling bold Belle crossed her arms and with her right hand covered by her left arm she began to rub Chris's arm with her fingers.

He glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes a smile tugging at his lips.

"I'm so going to get you back Harper."

Belle laughed as her phone started buzzing in her pocket. Pulling it out she answered on speaker, "Hey Allie."
