Guys My Age ~ Christopher Velez

Lovebirds

"Oh Dios mío, Christopher, I will drag you off of this chair by your chain if you don't go inside right now,"

Hands on her hips, Zoe stood in front of her husband with a glare on her face. They were currently in the waiting room at a 24-hour clinic so they could get preventative shots before they flew home since they'd been in a different country for two weeks. While she was more than ready to get her shot done and over with so they could go home and see their daughter, her husband was terrified of needles. Unless it was a tattoo of course, then he was all for it. Don't get him wrong, he wanted to see his daughter, he just didn't realize he had to get a needle stuck in him to do so.

"Our flight is in two hours and we still have to get to the airport,"

"Zobeida, we're taking a private jet, they'll wait for us."

"That's it," Lunging forward, she grasped Christopher by the chain around his neck and pulled him up to her face while a nurse watched with wide eyes. "Christopher Bryant Vélez Muñoz, I want to see our daughter. Now, you get a whole ten hours for me to baby you on our flight so I think you can suck it up for the next few minutes." Zoe stared at him with fire in her eyes that stirred butterflies in his stomach, Christopher gulping thickly and standing. He allowed her to pull him into the room where he would be receiving his shot, the nurse instructing him on what to do. His hand never left hers the entire time, a small wince escaping his lips when the needle entered his skin. "You did great, Mi Vida," 

Zoe pecked the corner of his lips, trading spots with him over the patient table. Christopher silently held his wife's hand without being asked to do so, warming her heart. She gave him a small smile, maneuvering her shorts so that the nurse could give her the shot. His eyes never left hers, bringing their hands up so that he could tenderly kiss her knuckles. Without warning, the nurse somewhat harshly jabbed the needle in her backside. Zoe exhaled sharply, Christopher's brows furrowing and lips turning down when he saw the fleeting moment of pain written on her face. The nurse threw away her trash without a spare glance at either of them and left the room, Christopher glaring at her retreating figure. 

"Puta," He growled, the residual pain of his injection long forgotten. Christopher moved around the table, pulling her into his embrace. "Lo siento, mi amor. I'm sorry I acted like a baby," He rubbed gentle circles in her back, Zoe letting him comfort her even though she really wasn't in any pain. "Come on, let's go see our Preciosa, okay?" Zoe perked up instantly, bringing a smile to his face. His arm wrapped around her, he led them out of the building and into a cab, giving them the address. "What would I do without you, hmm?" Christopher pecked the side of her head, a small giggle leaving Zoe's lips.

"Well, you'd probably be stuck in Paris,"

Zoe sighed into the crook of Christopher's neck, placing a chaste kiss on the soft skin that smelt faintly of sandalwood aftershave. He smiled, tightening his arms around her as they stood outside of the airport entrance. They were currently waiting on their ride to arrive, and while they didn't mind the alone time they had, they were all too eager to see their little girl. She slid her hands up under the back of his red hoodie, making tiny swirls with the tips of her acrylic nails. The spring air was slightly chilly since the sun had just recently set, enveloping them in a calming sea of darkness and stars. 

"Hola, lovebirds!" 

Erick's voice fell on their ears, pulling them out of their daze. In complete sync, Zoe and Christopher turned to see their friend in the driver's seat of his car. "Hola, pendejo," Zoe quipped back quickly, Christopher gently smacking her hand away when she went to grab her suitcase. She rolled her eyes, allowing him to carry them while she took their backpacks. "I missed your ugly face," Erick glared at her as she sat down in the passenger seat, receiving a punch to his upper arm from his best friend. Christopher laughed quietly as he climbed into the back seat, Zoe reaching her hand back to entangle with his.

"Yeah yeah, I missed you too!" The Cuban muttered, pressing down on the gas pedal. "How was your honeymoon?" He took one look in the rearview mirror to see the smirk on Christopher's face, finding a matching one on Zoe's and shuddered. "Nevermind, I really don't want to know," Erick had never been so relieved to pull into the apartment complex Zoe and Christopher lived in, all but evicting them from his car. "Edith and I will come over tomorrow morning, tell Veronica that Uncle Erick says hi," He gave Zoe a familial kiss on the cheek, doing that weird bro-hug thing with Christopher. 

Christopher and Zoe all but ran to the elevator, willing it to go faster. Just before she opened the door to their apartment, he stopped her. She turned to him with a quizzical look, dropping the backpack in her hands when he yanked her up into his arms. He pressed his lips against hers, roughly kissing the life out of her until she was sat down on her feet. Zoe looked up at him in a daze, a growing smirk on his face as he grasped the doorknob.

"Okay, now we can go see our bebita!"
