I will always be there to save you

Chapter 7

Tobin's POV:
Tonight I'm going to ask my beautiful girlfriend out for dinner to mark our 6 months. I walk up to her room that she's sharing with Kelley and knock on it 3 times. Kelley answers the door looking sleepy

"Hey Tobin what can I do for you?"she says.

"Is Chris in here, I need to talk to her?" I ask her.

"Yeah she's just on her bed asleep. She's been sleeping for ages so you can wake her up. Wake her nicely because she will be in a bad mood if you don't. If you need anything I will be in baby horses room". She said and walked past me to Alex's room.

I walk up to Christen's bed and see her curled up, sound asleep. I climb in behind her and leave soft kisses on her neck. Next thing I know is that she threw me out of bed.

"Fuck off Kelley that's not funny!"she shouts at me.

I stand up slowly and look at her "hey babe I think you got the wrong person"I say rubbing my head.

"Oh no toby I'm so sorry come here. Are you ok?"she asks pulling me back in bed next to her. She lies her head on my chest and wraps her arms around my waist.

"I'm ok Chris, you know Kelley told me to wake you up nicely and I tried and you launched me out the bed" I said laughing.

She turns her head to look at me "you know I love you toby. But now I guess I owe you now after throwing you off the bed"she says getting comfortable again. I think about what I can get her to do for me because she owes me one.

"I want you to massage my back tonight. But only after you come and get dinner with me."

This makes her laugh and she says "of course I will have dinner with you baby and I will massage your back tonight after. I will get Kell to stay with Alex tonight."I look down at her wondering how I got so lucky.

" Ok make sure you are ready because I have a reservation for 8:00pm".

She just nods then nuzzles her head back into my neck.

Mal's POV:
I can't wait to go out with Jordan tonight. I don't know what it is with her but I just want to be with her all the time. It feels like I have known her for years, even though it's been a few days. I don't know what's going to happen with us when I go back to Washington but we can figure that out later.

After I have showered I do my hair and make up and slip into my short black dress. The dress exposes my shoulders and stops mid thigh. When walk out of Jordan's bedroom I see her stood by the window pacing back and forth looking stressed as fuck. That's when I notice she's on the phone. I stand in the doorway patiently letting her finish her conversation. 

"What the fuck Steve, I thought you were going to keep me updated on my schedule because I'm out for a bit because of the stitches...no you can't do that please, you know how hard I worked to get where I am today... please I have been through so much shit... yeah ok I will be there... thanks I owe you... call me if there is any emergencies and I will be there as quick as I can... thanks again, see you later"

She begins to take her shirt off and try to unpick the stitches in the mirror. Shit. I rush in and stop her. She just looks at me with sad eyes. I slip the shirt back over her head and peck her lips softly.

"You look beautiful Mal"she says looking me up and down.

"Thank you, you look amazing too"

She's wearing a grey suit with a tight black t-shirt underneath. She's got her glasses on with her dads chain around her neck.

"Shall we?" She asks stretching out her hand for me to take as she leads me to her car. We get in the car together and I decide to ask her about the phone call.
