Only You Can Afford My Love// A Chase Davenport Love Story

First Date

[Edited 2/26/24]

Chase's P.O.V.

Juliana and I were sitting on her bed, watching a movie as we cuddled and relaxed. I felt completely contented as we just enjoyed each other's presence, watching some kind of sappy romantic comedy. I realized something as I watched the couple on screen, glancing down at Juliana and she looked up at me.

"Hello," Juliana said with a smile. 

I smiled as I kissed her forehead. "You know, I haven't taken you on a proper date, have I?" I questioned. 

Juliana paused, thinking before shaking her head. "Now that I think about it, you haven't." She grinned. "That's a problem." 

I nodded with a smile. "Can I take you out on a date tomorrow night?" 

"I would like that, my Mission Leader." 

I beamed at the nickname Juliana had given me a while ago. I always loved it when she called me that, it made me feel important when it came from her. 

"I should go make plans then," I stated, going to get up, but Juliana grabbed my arm and pulled me back down next to her.

"Not now," Julianna wined. "You're warm and comfy, and the movie isn't even over. Stay." 

I laughed and wrapped an arm around her. "But hun-"

"No." Juliana buried her head in my chest. "You're not allowed to go until I say so." 

I chuckled and kissed Juliana's head.

"We can cuddle later if you want," I offered.

"But I'm comfortable now," Juliana mumbled. My hands started to inch towards Juliana's stomach, causing her to glare up at me. 

"Don't you dare," she warned, and I grinned in response. 

"Are you going to let go?" I asked, and Juliana shook her head with a pout. "Alright then, guess you're asking for it." 

I started tickling Juliana's stomach, and she immediately started laughing and squealing.  

"Chase!" Juliana shrieked, shooting up and laughing uncontrollably. "Stop it!"

"What's the magic word?" I asked with a grin. 

"I love you!" I stopped tickling Juliana and I pinned her to the bed so that I was on top of her, smiling softly. 

"You are correct, ma'am." 

Juliana laughed and rolled her eyes. "Do I get a grand prize?" She asked. 

I leaned down and gave her a soft, slow kiss. Her hands reached up into my hair, gently tugging at the strands, and I pulled away to let her catch her breath. 

"Was that a grand prize?" I asked. 

Juliana breathed heavily and nodded, and I noticed the cute blush on her cheeks. 

"It was," she whispered. I smiled and kissed Juliana's forehead.

"I need to go plan our date now, hun. I'll cuddle with you later, I promise." 

Juliana nodded as I got up and walked down to the lab to see Mr. Davenport working on a project. I knew he probably wasn't the best person to ask about romance, but he did have a wife who seemed to love him. 

"Mr. Davenport?" I asked, and he turned to me.

"What's up, Chase?" He asked.

"Where did you take Tasha on your first date?"
