Destiny & Distance

26°

I can confirm that his arms were the comfiest place in the world, and his scent was just perfect. I would love to sleep next to him every night of my life. His strong built arms where surrounding me, pulling me closer to him, his breath was hiting my hair and part of my ear, I wanted to turn around to face him so I could admire him better but he would wake up, plus I really love spooning.

I know we have to talk about plenty of things, I know we don't have too much time together but I'm sure there's a strong feeling towards him and I don't want to lose it nor him. I want everything to work out, It's been a long since I'm in a relationship and last time experience made me higher my of what I wanted in a man and I feel like I found it all with Christopher... I could only guess this relationship was going to be a bit harder than the rest of the relationships I've had only over the fact that he's known all around the world and he's kind of used to it, meanwhile I'm this town woman no one knows about. I know too that people will talk about whatever, but It's an annoy I'm willing to take to be with Chris. I don't care about someone else's comments but Chris'

I remembered that Chris and I would take the gifts at 5AM so I set an alarm, locked the phone and before I even knew, I fell asleep. And after what felt like minutes I was woken up by the alarm. I start to move around trying to get rid of Chris' grip and he started to pull me closer to him.

—Babe, wake up, let's get the presents -I tap his arm but he ignores me, pulling me even closer, I could feel all of his muscles-

I closed my eyes again trying to fight my sleepiness but a couple of minutes later I opened them again, moving Chris faster this time

—I'm serious Chris, let's go -he growls- come on, wake up -I move his arm away-

—Is it 5AM already? -he asks rubbing his eyes-

—Yup, 5:17 AM to be exact, your parents are gonna wake up soon, c'mon -I got up and he slapped my ass making me laugh-

I went to Chris' bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, when I was about to leave he came in, smiling at me. I left and looked for my PJs

—But I wanted to see you change -Chris says as he came into the room, realizing that I already had my PJ on-

—Hurry up, big boy

We went to Chris' car to took the gifts and place them under the christmas tree, no one was awake yet besides us, Chris left to prepare some hot chocolate while I was watching the Christmas tree lights, they were mesmerizing, I've always loved Christmas—back in Venezuela when I was a teenager I used to sit in the couch that was in front of the Christmas tree and watch the lights for hours, sometimes I used to bring a cup of black coffee and a book, it was perfect to me. One of the reasons I've always loved Christmas was because it brought the family together... Always. We used to cook, drink and celebrate together, even though this year's gonna be a bit sad for my family, I was still excited... Or grateful.

—There you go -Chris hands me a red christmas cup, I smile and mouth a thank you-

I realized that I was so into my thoughts that I didn't noticed Chris until he spoke. He stood next to me and watched the Christmas tree as well, we were both quiet, but it was a comfy silence

—You really like all these stuff, don't you? -he asks me, still not taking his eyes off the tree-

—Christmas you mean? -I asks as he sip a bit of the chocolate-

—Mhm -he then looks at me- I can tell when I look at your eyes, is as if I can read your enthusiasm -I smile, he was right, I am really into this-

—I'm like a little girl when it comes to this season -I confess what he already intuited- I have very good memories -he kisses my cheek and smiles-

—I can tell

We looked into each others eyes for about three minutes, my mind was into so many thoughts and feelings. I bet he was experiencing the same

—Chris, we need to talk -His amused expression rapidly turns into a frown-

—About? -he holds my hand-

—Shall we go to your room? It's nearly 6AM and I bet your mom's waking up at 7AM -I ask him, he limites himself to guide me to his room, again-

I left the cup in a nightstand and turned to look at him, but he was already staring at me

—Well, I think you might know what I want to talk about -I was a nervous wreck for some reason- we need to figure out how we're gonna make this work... I really want to be with you

He sighed in relief

—I thought you regretted being with me -the tension escapes his body-

—No way -I chuckle and kiss him on the lips causing him to smile- but I do want to know how we're gonna figure this out, you're in L.A mostly and I'm here, so...

—What do you want to do? -he asks me-

I know that him moving back to Boston wasn't even an option, the ideal thing was for me to move to L.A but I didn't wanted to be the one to say it. I might struggle a bit finding a job there but I hope I can find it

—I actually don't know -I lie, bitting the inside of my cheek- what do you think it's the best?

—I... I don't want this to sound selfish since you have a job here and different priorities but -he pauses- what if you move to L.A with me? It's alright if you don't want to, I'll totally understand -he sounds so nervous that it made him three times more cute. Plus, he's playing with his fingers as he asks me-

—Didn't wanted to be the one to say it. It'll be harder for me at the beginning due to the fact that I'll have to find a new job, but if that's the way to make us work, then so be it... I just want to know if you're 100% sure of this decision. It's a bigger deal, you know?

—I know it's a big deal, and people would think we're rushing things up but since I don't care about that, I'm pretty sure we can make this work

—When are you coming back to L.A? -I ask-

—We -he corrects me- when are we going back to L.A you mean -I smile at him- I know for a fact we'll have to be there by January, I just don't know which day, I'll have to book us a flight

—I'll talk to the condominium of my building to let them know I'm not renewing my contract, thankfully it was till December -I sigh in relief, I couldn't waste money over stupid things since I want to bring my sister here- and you gotta let me know when are we leaving so I can pack my things

—It's okay, I'll help you pack when it's time to, you'll need a man to carry your boxes

—Boxes? You mean suitcases -I say, making him laugh-

—Right, you're not moving right across the street -he realises the stupidity he said- have you ever been to L.A before?

—Nope. Only to Florida and here

—Guess I'll have to give you a tourist tour -I smile-

—Yes please -I pause- pretty sure it'll be fun

—It'll be -he assures me- so the deal is sealed lady, you're starting a life with me in L.A -he gives me a handshake as if we were actually sealing a big deal-

I stare at him, realising his action. I can't help but laugh at his goofiness. One of the reasons why I like Chris so much is because he's in a good mood most of the time.

—Deal, sir Evans -I smile and peck his lips-
