I was in the kitchen, making some dinner for me and Chris, at the same time humming and dancing along to Soundgarden’s song Been Away Too Long . Chris had mentioned yesterday while we ate that he was in the mood for chicken fajitas so I thought since our fridge was full with food and we had a huge kitchen, I might as well use my cooking skills. I was far from being really good in the kitchen but I knew my way around it and I could make some complicated things, but I was pretty lazy when it came to cooking sometimes. Being able to go to a restaurant and have somebody else cook the food for me felt great but every now and then I enjoyed a home cooked meal.

Things between me and Chris had been a bit tense and to be honest, awkward yesterday especially when he woke up. I had not been able to fall asleep after that dream, fearing that I would dream the same thing again and moan or say something really inappropriate and that Chris would hear me. So I had been a bit careful yesterday and gave him subtle hints to see if he would catch on, that would have confirmed that he had heard me which thankfully he had not.

I stirred the sauce with the bits chicken in before I grabbed the pan of the stove and made sure that it was turned off. Everything else that we needed for the fajitas was already settled and out on the kitchen island in small bowls, so it was all up for grabs. Grabbing an underlay so that I wouldn’t scratch the marble counter of the island I placed the pan on top. All I had to do now was grab us some plates and call for Chris so that we could eat.

I stood on my toes after I opened the cabinet trying to reach the plates I wanted when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me, making me stand down and lean into Chris embrace. He placed a kiss on my temple and wrapped his arms a bit tighter around me.

“Need help?” he murmured against my hair.

I nodded and turned around, slinging my arms around his neck. My eyes went to his and flickered to his lips. He caught the jest and leaned down a bit, locking our lips together. His big yet soft hands cupped my face and he pulled away looking at me, licking his lips.

“You know that I love you right?”

I nodded. “Yeah.”

Chris frowned. “You don’t love me?”

“I do but only if you take down the plates.” I grinned, teasing him.

He shook his head at me, before he stretched a bit over me bringing down two sets of plates and placing them on the counter behind me. I looked at him, biting my lips as he surveyed me. I loved these moments with Chris, when I could tease him and feel that mischievous emotion as we joked around. His arms opened up, placing each one on each side of the counter and trapping me between it and him. One of his eyebrows rose as he looked at me waiting to hear those words.

“Ash, aren’t you forgetting something?” he asked me, his voice husky and deep, sending shivers down my spine. I shrugged and put on the best innocent face I could before I told him ‘no’. Chris leaned forward, his mouth next to my ear and I could hear him breathing, feel his breath hit the side of my head.

“Really now?”

“Uh-huh. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

A squeal left me as I Chris swiftly cupped my ass and lifted me up on the counter, standing between my legs. His lips attacked mine in a rough kiss as he rubbed his lower half against mine, causing delicious friction to appear. I moaned into his mouth and felt heat gather between my legs. Chris hands ran down my body, palming my breast through my shirt and I tugged on his blonde curls at the nape of his neck. My hands went to the hem of his shirt, tugging it, telling Chris that I wanted it off. I was incredibly turned on at this point. As soon as his shirt was off my lips immediately attached to his neck, nipping and sucking everywhere; especially at one of his soft spots which earned me a low moan from him. I felt him shiver under my touch as my hands roamed his chest and slowly went down below his belly button, tracing invisible circles.

His arousal was pressing against me and I started feeling even more warm as we basically dry humped against the counter. It was steamy and hot, sitting in the kitchen doing the dirty deed.

‘So fucking
Blow those words out the back of your head
I've heard it all and I’m done with that shit
You tell me lies and …’

We both groaned as we heard Chris phone go off and I felt the device vibrate through his jeans pocket He pulled away and brought his cellphone up before mumbling, ‘Sorry’. I sighed and jumped off the counter, straightening my clothes and fixing my slightly tangled hair. Maybe this was for the better in a way, I should really not get involved intimately with Chris since I was really confused but I got sidetracked easily with him. He was so easy and just him kissing me couple of times would make me weak in the knees.

Chris walked back into the kitchen as soon as I had set the plates on the dining table. He had a small frown on his face and went over to me, placing his hands on my hips.

“I’m sorry but I gotta go.”

I frowned. “Why?”

“Alex just called and said that his engine stopped working. The tow truck won’t be able to help unless he can wait for more than two hours so I got to pick him up.”

I nodded understanding him and tried not to show him how disappointed I was. It made me sort of down since I had made dinner for us and wanted to spend the evening curled up with him but then again I understood why he had to leave.

“Sorry babe.” He kissed me before he left, taking the car keys with him and announcing that he should be back in less than two hours.

I decided to wrap up all the food since I wasn’t all that hungry any longer and it would be a waste to let the food sit and rot on the table. When I had finished putting the food in the fridge, I went up the stairs to the bathroom and set up a bubble bath. I could at least try to have a relaxing evening with or without Chris, until he comes home.


3rd person P.O.V

Chris shifted from one foot to the other, nervously tapping each one as he did so. He was waiting for somebody to arrive. It was all ready and he was just expecting results. At the moment he was sitting at a coffee shop in Laguna Beach with a steaming cup of black coffee in his hands as he looked around the café searching for a familiar face. His eyes lit up as he finally spotted someone and he couldn’t help but to reveal his pearly white teeth. He stood up as the person arrived in front of him, giving the
person a hug in the process.

“Hi.”

“Hey Jessica.” He breathed, smiling softly.
