"Where the hell have you two been?!" said a slightly annoyed Jayne, who had already started the rehearsals with the professional skaters; she'd found it difficult to try and explain to them the choreography by herself, she really needed Chris to help with all the partnered work!
"Sorry Jayne we got held back..." Chris said not too convincingly as the pair of them sat at the side of the rink and got their skates on quickly."But we're here now!" Karen said happily trying to cheer Jayne up."Well hurry up and get on the ice then it's no good you being over there is it, that's not helping at all." The whole group paused whilst Karen and Chris got on the ice and waited for the music to start again as they went through the routine again, or what they'd managed to pick up of it, and Jayne and Chris demonstrated the whole thing, the rest of the pros trying to pick up as much more as they could just by watching and taking it all in, and Karen skated around helping them, seeing who needed help, and managed to demonstrate to the women pros the position they should be in in the man's arms quite a few times too... They worked hard for a couple of good solid hours and by the end of it the routine was perfected and Chris told everyone to take a break, mainly because he couldn't wait any longer to be with Karen again. He skated over to her, grabbed her hand and pulled her to the other side of the rink and as they climbed off, they had a little moment with their bodies pressed up closely together and intimately kissing for a few minutes, Chris mentally undressing Karen in front of his eyes, disappointed by the fact he couldn't do it for real... Their hands began to wonder each other's bodies too, and Chris's managed to make their way underneath Karen's jumper..."Erm excuse me you two," Jayne said coming up behind them acting disgusted by their behavior, but couldn't help feeling jealous she didn't have Phil to have a good smooch with in the breaks."Oh what now Jayne..." Chris said impatiently, slowly breaking off his intense kisses with Karen, not happy that they'd been disturbed and interrupted again. "Well unlike you, everyone else would actually like to get some work done..." she said gesturing towards the ice rink behind them. "Well isn't there any work to be done in the office?" Chris thought tactfully."There is a bit actually that could use doing, I suppose you two want to go do that?" Jayne said seeing exactly where he was heading with that cheeky request... and Chris nodded eagerly. "Well if I let you go, you have to promise to actually have all the work done in the next two hours... understood?" Jayne said sternly, acting as if she were their mother. "Yes, alright," they said in unison, Karen had now caught on to what Chris was planning and a smile had crept onto her face as she imagined the time they were about to spend alone with no interruptions...
ayne quickly regretted teling Karen and Chris they could go work in the office by themselves, she knew they'd just be up to no good and of course there would be no sign of any work being done whatsoever, but the two of them were in such a lovey dovey, giggly mood now, they were only going to giggle, muck around, and just cause Jayne to get fustrated with them if they were to stay on the ice...As Jayne skated gracefully back onto the ice, gathering the group together to discuss the rest of the day's plans, conversations were still going on between the rest of the pros, and nobody was really listening to poor Jayne at all, who was desperately trying to get all their attention, and really not having much luck. "I thought Karen and Chris were just having a fling!" somebody asked Jayne, she wasn't even fully aware who it was, maybe Fred, or Michael?"No, they're now in a rather stable relationship actually, a lot happened for both of them over the christmas break, and I suppose the situation has changed quite a bit since you lot last saw them," Jayne said, happy for her friends. Meanwhile, in the so-called office, things were just about heating up."Do we have to actually do the work?" Karen complained as Chris struggled to unlock the door."Nope, well, I was planning something a little different anyway, but unless you want to...?" Chris told her cheekily, and finally unlocking the door and going inside."Of course I don't want to, you'd have to be bloody mad to actually, physically want to do it, even Jayne hates it!" "I totally agree, its so dull... has to be done at some point though, doesn't it? Unfortunately...""Okay, so what have you got planned then?" Karen asked walking over to Chris who had, to her disappointment, gone straight to sit at the computer desk, and was impatiently (as usual) waiting for it to load up."Well you'll have to wait won't you?" he teased, and pulled her onto his lap as he loaded up a few files that needed completing. "You know we're quite lucky really, a lot of jobs involve a hell of a lot more paper work than this-" He was cut off by the sudden action of Karen's lips pressed against his."You said we weren't going to do the work," she said inbetween kissing him and moving her hands swiftly through his hair, and up and down his neck."I was just-" Karen cut him off again by pressing her finger against his lips to stop him talking, before continuing to passionately kiss him."Karen" Chris said through soft kisses getting more and more intimate. "the door-" "is open" he finally got out, and Karen took the information in, so still kissing each other, Chris picked Karen up, wrapping his arms around her carried her to the other side of the room, closing the door and then putting her down, pressing her up against the back of the office door and kissing her more and more. "I love you Mrs Barber" he whispered through kissing. "I love you too I want you here... now... make love to me Dean..." Karen whispered back, but more fiercly and with a loving urgency in her voice."I want you too..." Chris continued, his hands now wandering up and down Karen's slight figure, her hands wandering muscular frame. "I want you more and more every minute," Karen confessed, kissing more and more intently. "I know me too..." Chris then slowly, still kissing Karen, lifted up her jumper and had to pause slightly to fling it across the room, and then continued with the intimacy, lifting up her top and his hands wandering the laciness of her bra. He took her top off over her head, and that too, was flinged across the room. They moved to the other side of the room, passionately making their way around the office, almost as if doing a sexy dance or a scene from a film, but they never wanted to part... There was a knock at the door before Jayne let herself in, wandering what she would come across; Karen and Chris were totally unaware of course. Jayne cleared her throat, but still neither of them noticed her standing there, plainly watching them make out. "Excuse me?!" she finally said in a disgusted tone, and slowly the two bodies drifted apart, but they were still standing real close, with a guilty yet innocent look on their faces... "Do you want to explain yourselves?!" she continued on, not really knowing why she was so shocked, after all this is exactly what she'd expected to walk in on, maybe a little more passionately involved than she'd perhaps hoped. "Sorry Jayne... we'll get the work done now, I'm sorry, won't happen again, promise, we're on it..." he apologized not so sympathetically, as if he was back at school apologizing to a teacher for not doing his work. "I don't know why I let the pair of you in here alone, I knew it was stupid..." she mused, not knowing why she was about to walk out again and leave them alone once more. "Sorry Karen, I find it a little weird standing here telling you off and you staring up at me wearing nothing but your bra!" "Ah well it's nothing you haven't seen before is it..." Karen replied then went over to get her top and started to put it back on under Jayne's stern look. Jayne then proceeded to get out all the documents and legal stuff from the filing cabinet in the corner of the room, and explained to Chris specifically what she wanted done by the next half hour, before returning to the rink.
"God she's stressy isn't she?" Chris mocked as soon as Jayne had left the room, causing Karen to let out a giggle."She's just jealous she doesn't have Phil, I do feel sorry for her at times you know...""Ah well I bet she gets all this when she gets home...now where were we..." Chris said pressing their bodies closer together again and proceeding to kiss her gently. "I'm so lucky to have you Mr Dean..." Karen murmered through kisses, and her top came off again, and made its way to the other side of the room. "What about me, what did I ever do to deserve such a stunning woman like you..." They weren't kissing for as long this time, before Jayne came in again, this time to get her phone to ring Phil quickly about something she wanted him to pick up before she got home."For heavens sake you too!" she said really quite cross this time. "Karen, get your bloody top on! Now stop all this and actually get some work done or I'll be seperating you and I mean it ok!" she huffed and left the room for a second, and, surprise surprise, the kissing continued until she came back in... "Oh for **** sake, that's it now I mean it this time! Chris, out on the rink, help the celebrities with their routines that I've had to show them myself." she snapped angrily putting her phone back in her bag. "Karen, you're staying here, and I want all this work done within the next 25 minutes or they'll be huge trouble..." Jayne instructed strictly acting as her mother. "Yes ma am..." Karen replied appropiately."Do you know where everything is?" Jayne made sure."Yep, pens, paper, other files..." she said pointing to where each thing was to prove her point."Okay I'll leave you to it then..." Jayne sighed and walked out, following Chris. 5 minutes later, Jayne came back rushing into the office. "Can you pass the first aid box please Karen, quick we've got blood here!" she said urgently."Yep," she replied not even looking to see who was injured, and searched around for the box."Oh come on we haven't got all bloody day!" Jayne said impateintly."I don't know where it is!" "On top of the cupboard in the corner, come on Karen hurry up please just get the bloody box!" "I can't reach it!" she complained as she stood on the toe picks of her skates trying to reach the box but not having any luck. "Hang on a second..." she said, going to find Chris to get him to reach it."No we don't have a second, oh for god's sake!"A few seconds later, Karen and Chris come speeding through the door, and Jayne grunts in disaproval. "What are you doing here, I thought I told the pair of you to stay away from each other?""Look do you want this box or not?" Chris said ****ily and reaching up to pass Jayne the box."Right now thanks Chris, off you go again thank you!" Jayne demanded, but Chris still proceeding to pop another kiss on Karen's soft shiny lips before he walked out of the room to Jayne hitting him on the way out..."Oi!""Okay, you should be okay to carry on now, just have a bit of rest for 5 minutes and then it'll be fine," Jayne instructed Maria, who'd just had a blade lightly jabbed into her calf, and been incredibly lucky it hadn't been more serious than a little cut. "Karen, back to work please honey." she said nodding at her as she left the room. "Yep..." she sighed and typed out the rest of what needed filling in, and eventually Chris and Jayne both returned, it was finally time for their lunch break. "Hey honey..." he said as he walked over to Karen and kissed her for a few seconds before Jayne broke them apart."Excuse me, could you please not do that while I'm in the room?""Oh god! I forgot, I've got to go and pick up the dresses! Emma will bloody kill me if I don't get there in time... oh god what even is the time? Am I already too late? What time did I say I had to be there for?" she said, panic setting into her voice."Oohhh, have you been wedding shopping?" asked Jayne a little excitedly. "Yeah we went yesterday, me, Ems and Laura, we all went. We bought Ems' dress and she made me order the shoes online when we got back, but when it came to the bridesmaids dresses they were all out of stock, but they were due another delivery of them this morning... I just hope they're still there...""I'm sure they will be" Jayne reassured.
Karen and Chris quickly rushed off to get in the car and drive to the shopping centre which was about 10 minutes away from the rink, and it was almost 2 o clock by the time they got there, Karen was hoping like mad the dresses were going to be there, ready and waiting for her, she was petrified she might have missed her chance and then Emma would be cursing her forever... or so she thought. She hurried into the shop while Chris opted to stay in the car, and rushed over to the counter, luckily it was the same lady in the shop who was there yesterday, so at least she knew who she was... "Erm, excuse me...""Yes, how can I help?""I came by yesterday and bought a brides dress, and you said you were getting another batch of the bridesmaids dresses in today so I've come to collect them if that's okay... are they here?""Yes, they came at 10 this morning and I've been saving them for you ever since, it's a good job I remembered because my collegue almost sold half of them to someone else..." she said with a tang of guilt in her voice, as she disapeared into the stock to room to find Karen's dresses."Oh thank you so much," Karen gushed. "Here they are..." she said producing the bridesmaids dresses to Karen, all wrapped up in a waterproof, plastic cover to protect them, and then Karen handed over her credit card, and carefully draped the dresses over her arms so she didn't crease them up. "That was quick," Chris said as Karen opened the car boot and carefully laid the dresses flat."She had them all ready for me," she said happily. "Right how much time we got to kill?" she said flirtaciously kissing him as she got into the passenger seat next to him, and then adjusted the mirror so she could re-do her lippy."Well seeing as Jayne is pretty much already expecting us to be late... and she's already pretty mad with us I don't think it'd make much difference if we were a bit late back..." Chris said, and then kissed her back, spoiling her lippy again. "I don't know why you bother..." he said, and she laughed."Nor do I..." The kissing then became a little more intense as they sat in the car park having a nice little smooch, luckily it was a dimmed car park so no one could really see..."Right I really think we better be heading back, don't you?" Karen said about half an hour/45 minutes later, not wanting to upset Jayne anymore than she already had that morning. "Just a few more minutes.." "Chris, your phone's ringing, I can feel it vibrating," Karen told him as they kissed and felt each other's bodies. "Do you want me to answer it?""Not really but I suppose you'd better..." Karen sighed as the kissing slowed down and broke off. "Urgh it's Jayne, she's really not happy with us is she..." "Nope, and can you blame her really? I mean really?" Karen said as she took the phone out of Chris's hand and answered it for him."Hi Jayne""Karen, wherever you are, this is your 10 minute warning so you'd better make your way back over here please.." she kindly requested."Yep we're on our way back now, don't worry...see you in a few""Couple more minutes here then right?" Chris asked kissing her again. "Yep..."Back at the rink they really hadn't done too badly for time, they arrived just 10 minutes after the time they were supposed to be... 20 minutes after Jayne's 10 minute warning."Right you two, can I trust you now? I'm headed for the office for a few hours, that way some work actually might get done... I want you two to start teaching the group dance, the one with the celebs too, hear me? And I want it done by 5!" Jayne gave them clear instructions as Karen and Chris got their skates on, and Jayne took hers off, and changed into her comfy uggs, much more preferable. Karen and Chris took to the ice and there were a few giggles amongst everyone else as they did, and a few of the pros sighed, thinking nothing was going to be done. "Right, the song for this week's group performance is Raining Men..." Chris started, and then explained to them all about the different props and costumes that were going to be involved, most of them liked what they heard."Okay let's get started then..." Karen said, and she went through the first few bars of moves, this would open the first show of 2012 and it was really important that they got it right, so there was a lot of work to be done. The choreography was quite simple seeing as the competition had only just begun, but the standards were much higher than any other year and the skating was at a pretty impressive level, for just a couple of months training. Jayne appeared a few hours later having completed all the work that needed doing, and Karen and Chris had surprisingly got through the whole routine. There had been lots of giggles, but they'd done it, and that was the main thing, they'd certainly surprised Jayne for one thing. "Well done guys, you all did fantastic today! See you tomorrow!" Chris said and then left the ice, hand in hand with Karen, and went to speak to Jayne. "You don't need us this weekend do you?" Chris checked with Jayne."Well no not really, most of the couples will just be working on their individual routines and not all at this rink either, why what you planning?""Oh nothing, I just wanted to check I ws free that's all.." he said rather secretively, much to Karen's disappointment because she hated secrets, and Chris hadn't mentioned anything to her..."What are we doing at the weekend then?" Karen asked trying to get it out of him as they walked out to the car with their bags in the dark wintery sky. "Oh nothing you need to know about..." he said with a cheeky sound to his voice."Are you taking me somewhere?" Karen asked eagerly, getting a bit excited."Well maybe, I guess you'll just have to wait and see won't you...I'm not saying a word, let's just say I've got it covered..." he said. He'd secretly been planning a weekend away for both of them for a few weeks now, just a little break before all the real work began with Dancing on Ice on the tv and everything, this would be their last chance to get some proper time to themselves and he was definately planning to make the most of it...
