Don't Let Go (A Connor Ball / Tristan Evans Fan-fiction)

Chapter 44 - Pasta Bake

Chapter 44

The train journey was long. Very long.

I open my eyes and look out the glass window to see a bright city filled with busy people. I smile to myself at the thought of city life. I'd love to live in the city and not somewhere like the small town in Devon. New York maybe? Ha. In my dreams.

I grab my bags and pull my hoodie over my shoulder doing the same with my sleeves. Please please please Connor don't see my arms...

As I step of the train the cold winter air hits me and makes feels good against my hot skin. The train was stuffy and warm and ew, not good.

I make my way through the crowd and look for the familiar blonde quiff that I love and missed so much.

"Guess who?" I heard in my ear making me jump out of my skin. I felt two strong arms rap around my waist from behind me. I turn around to see a smiling Connor wearing a beanie which is the cutest thing I have probably ever seen.

"I have missed you so much Connor you wouldn't understand" I say as I hug him.

"I missed you too" he muttered into my embrace.

I let go and smiled at him taking his hand.

"I am so hungry" I say making him laugh into the cold air.

"Good, my mum is making you a feast or something" he laughed.

As we walked to his car I watched his features in the glow of the city. I had never realise how perfect his face is until now.

"You staring at me?" He raised his eyebrow making me laugh.

"Nahhhhh" I say swinging our interlinked arms.

We reach his car and sit in the cold for a while waiting for it to heat up.

"Jesus Christ how cold is it?" I curse rubbing my hands together.

"Here" he says pulling the black beanie off his head revelling a sandy blonde mess above his head.

"Thank you" I smile kissing his cheek.

"Right let's get you home to met the family!" He cheered making me smile but pretty much feel sick about the thought of meeting his parents.

"Okay I'll grab your bags and show you around" he smiled as we pulled up on his family drive.

"Okay" I smiled. I undid my seatbelt and got out the car waiting for Connor by the door. Once he came round I he opened the door to be greeted by the smell of a home cooked meal, only making me hungrier. "Smells good" I say as we walk into the warmth. He places my bags in the floor then closes the door, taking my hand. We walk towards a brightly lit room ad Connor starts to speak.

"So this is the kitchen and tha-"

"Connor!" A woman in her mid 40s came rushing over to Connor and pulled him into a hug.

Just the sight made my heart feel heavy and broken, I can't do that anymore.

"Nice to see you too mum" he laughed pulling away.

"And you must be Chloe!" She said pulling me into a hug too. "Your even prettier then on the telly, if that's possible" she gushed pulling away and making me twirl around in her hand.

I like this woman. Her smile seemed warm and welcoming just like my mu-

"Connor you have landed yourself lucky here!" She smiled making us both laugh.

"Thank you" I smile.

"You have a really nice house Mrs Ball" I say taking in the gorgeous kitchen.

"Oh thank you!" She smiled turning down the oven. "Me and David have spent years working on this house, it was a mess when we first picked it up. I never thought it would turn out so well" she smiled draining the pasta which was previously boiling on the hob. "Oh, and please, call me Lisa."

I look at Connor and he is grinning knowing that I like her and she likes me. I take his hand again and he squeezes it knowing I feel sort of uncomfortable. He shows a sweet toothy grin making me give one back.

"Now I hope you like pasta bake, it's part of our family trait!" She laughs making me and Connor join in.

"No, that's lovely thank you. I love pasta bake, my mum used to make it" I slow down at the end of my sentence to process what I just said.

The tension suddenly builds and I feel really uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry to hear about your mum dear" she says with a sympathetic smile.

"It's okay" I smile hiding the hurt.

"I'll go show Chloe up to my room so she can get settled before tea" Connor said pulling me out of my uncomfortable state.

"Okay love, 15 minuets and it should be ready" she smiled patting his back then getting back to whatever she was doing before.

When we get upstairs Connor takes me into his room and I admire all the guitars that scatter his left wall.

"You like?" He asks raising his brow at me.

"Ohmygod its so cool" I breath scanning over all of his prize positions.

"Here play this" he says handing me an acoustic off if his wall.

"Really?" I ask before he nods and I take it carefully in my hands placing it onto my lap before playing a few chords.

"This is like heaven" I laugh humming to whatever I was playing.

"So how come you never told anyone you play guitar?" He asked.

"I don't know really, I guess I didn't need too...?" I laugh making him join me.

"Why are you so good at music?" He asks sitting next to me.

"What, me?" I ask confused.

"Yeah you" he laughed. (YEAH YOU! Sorry I had too...)

"Um I don't know?" I shrug making him laugh again.

"Take a selfie" he instructs making me laugh.

"What no? Seriously I look like shit!" Denying him will be hard.

"Oh bugger off you look perfect as always" he says making my blush.

"Alright Prince Charming" I say punching his arm lightly.

"Aye, don't turn into Tristan" he said seriously, making me burst out laughing.

"Right come on get this over with" I say snatching his phone off him and opening up the camera app.

"Smile!" I say through a grin.

I go to take the picture when Connor leans in and kisses my check.

"Connor!" I laugh at his immaturity and look back at the picture. It's actually really nice.

"Right give it here before you can delete it" he says snatching the phone out of my hands.

"No Connor!" I groan when I realise he has put it on Instagram. "That will be the headlines tomorrow you know that? 'Chlonner spend time together while taking romantic selfies" I say in a mans voice making him laugh.

"Soooo?" He says placing his phone back into his pocket. "Right come on, let's go eat my mums famous pasta dish" he smirks making me laugh as I follow behind him.
