Chapter 29

Hope ya'll are still reading!

Christie POV

In the morning I wake up wrapped up in Michael's arms. We fell asleep on the couch together last night. His erection poking my behind making me wanton, I hear someone making noise in the kitchen but I don't want to get up. I could lie like this all day long; it is a comforting feeling being held by him. Someone enters the living room and I hear Lexie whisper, "Christie, you need to get up, I just made coffee but John is on his way to discuss label stuff about the deal R.J. Maxwell. Don't worry Michael is a heavy sleeper."

I quickly get up and it doesn't wake him but he does happen to say something in his sleep, "Christiana" he says sounding sleepy but still velvety smooth and it makes me melt because he is dreaming about me.

I giggle and follow Lexie back into the kitchen, "How do you know Michael is a heavy sleeper?"

She laughs, "We have been friends forever we have had many sleep overs."

I laugh, "I know I wondered the same thing with John but I have to ask, has anything ever happened with you and Michael I should know about before proceeding?"

She squeals, "OMG no! He is like my brother."

Lexie is texting someone while pouting. I ask, "What's wrong?"

"Since last night I've called and texted Teddy, he still hasn't responded and it makes me nervous… Do you think he met someone over there and maybe he cheated on me and doesn't want to face me?" She asks worried about her relationship with my big brother.

"Lexie no, don't think the worst… Teddy is crazy about you; I know he isn't cheating on you. I'm sure that Chuck talked him into getting drunk and he is passed out alone or with the guys." I reply.

I decide to text my twin bro Chris to have him check on Teddy. "Hey Chris, Lexie is worried about Teddy because she has been trying to reach him. Please check on him and get back to us!" Then I head to the restroom to take a hot shower and brush my teeth. After my shower I choose to wear a short black leather skirt with a blue jean vest tank. I go back into the restroom and someone is in the shower but I'm not sure who. I just continue getting fixed up by applying my make-up and styling my hair. The shower stops and I think it is probably Lexie, when I look but I see Michael with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looks so hot with beads of water dripping off of him. I forgot how ripped he was with his impressive 6-8 pack. I'm standing here like a stupid little girl drooling, not finding anything to say.

He looks up smiling at me, "Morning beautiful, I love it when you blush. It makes me wonder what you are thinking though."

I'm so embarrassed that I can't even think of a response; I unknowingly bite down on my bottom lip.

He brushes his thumb over my lower lip and groans, "I would love to nibble on that lip." He states seductively.

I whimper as he slowly takes my lower lip in his teeth grazing it. I forcefully push myself into his wet hard body kissing him eagerly. He picks me up setting me onto the bathroom counter and continues our passionate make out session with one of his hands grasping my waist and the other around the nape of my neck. He pulls away breathless, "Maybe we should take this slower, I know you just broke up with John. You need a proper amount of time to process your feelings. I don't want to ruin this before it has the chance to get started. Just know this Christie, you are worth the wait and take as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere baby."

"Thank you Michael, you are incredible. You make me feel things that I can't even describe." I reply trying to regulate my breathing along with my self-control. I know I need time to process my breakup and I know that I have deep feelings for both guys. How is that even possible?

"Would you like to go out to breakfast with me? I would love some Nat's early bite. Are you down?" He asks sweetly

"I would love to go to breakfast with you." I smile.

Lexie POV

I'm in the kitchen checking my cell phone for the hundredth time because I'm waiting to hear back from Teddy. I need seriously stop overacting but I have this ugly feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wonder if he is creating space between us because of me having to come back to LA for work. My mind is in overdrive. Christie comes into the kitchen, "I'm going to breakfast with Michael…I will be back later."

I roll my eyes, "Christie, are you sure you are ready to start dating someone else already?"

"I'm getting to know Michael; we are getting to know each other. You need to get out of big sister mode with him because he is a grown man and can make decisions for himself." She replies.

"But you haven't even dried your tears from your breakup with John?" I state.

"Why don't you focus on your relationship with Teddy and stay out of my business." She replies coldly.

"Christie please I'm only looking out for both of you because I love you both." I reply taking a seat at the kitchen table.

"Love you too" she replies walking out of the dining room.

10 minutes later John and Jenn enter the kitchen, she hands me the contract for R.J. Maxwell. I'm smiling ear to ear going over it. "Great job John!" I stand up giving him a hug.

He gives a half smile.

"When I was pulling in I saw Christie leaving with Michael, where were they going?" John asks clearly concerned.

"To get breakfast, why John? You know it was really messed up the way you broke up with her. So if you are done with her, let her move on with her life and be happy." I state being the overprotective friend that I am.

"I miss her, I know I overreacted about the Vegas thing. One of my previous subs cheated on me when she went to Vegas with her friends and it just brought up some memories. I know I was wrong but then I think maybe it is for the best. I'm not moving from NY and she isn't going to want to live in NY. Plus she wants the whole white picket fence family bullshit and I can't provide that. I don't see me wanting to even think about getting married until my 30's which is still a maybe, but Christie she wants all that shit and I just don't think I'm capable of all that."

"So why did you lead her on in the first place?" I ask.

"I didn't…. I wanted to try and see if I could give her what she wanted. I fell hard for her, her sweetness and she has this innocence about her but she's still so sexy." He gushes.

"Well John if you still want to try with her. You better get your shit together and really think about it because she deserves the best and if you can't do that, then you should let her go." I reply.

My phone rings and it is Teddy! I leap up and answer it.

"Theodore, why haven't you been answering your phone?" I answer scolding him.

"Hi to you too babe, I was sleeping. I should be asking you the same thing, I tried calling you last night but you were too busy puking after you had already said you were going to stop drinking." He replies reprimanding me.

"I only had one more drink after that talk, I'm sorry. I didn't even drink that much. Please don't be mad." I reply softly.

"I'm not mad Lexie, I was worried about you." He replies in a more relaxed tone.

"What is going on Teddy, you are acting different? Is it because of the talk we had before you left?" I ask scared about what his response might be. I don't think I could handle him pulling away.

"Baby it's just the pain meds, there was a tiny accident but don't worry. They just make me a little loopy." He replies.

"What kind of accident?! What happened?!" I ask fretfully.

"Chasing Jake on the Jet Ski, I broke my arm and have some bruised ribs.. No big deal baby." He replies.

"OH my poor baby, I need to get back home so I can take care of you!" I cry.

"Don't cry I promise I'm okay, you can stay there I have paid staff that can take care of me. Stay and fun with the girls." He replies.

"You don't want me there?" I ask hurt by him not wanting me to go home.

"No it's just I'm going to have to get used to our long distance relationship anyways and you can't be running over here for any little thing." He states.

"You getting hurt isn't a little thing to me. How would you feel if it was the other way around?" I ask.

"I would be there in a heartbeat. I just didn't want to ruin your time with the girls." He replies.

"I'm going to have Jennifer get me a flight back home asap. I love you Theo." I state.

"I love you too Lexie." I will never get tired of hearing those words from him.

When I get off the phone I tell Jenn to get me and Clark on the next flight to Seattle, no matter the cost. She offers to come with me.

Theo POV

Later in the afternoon I finally get released from the hospital and Wilson takes me back to the hotel room. Chris is hanging out in my room. "Why are you in my room?" I ask curiously while going over to the bed to lie down. He follows to finish our conversation.

"Dad flew in Dr. Flynn to talk to Jake and they are in my room." He replies.

"Jake is just a reckless teenage boy why would he need to talk to Dr. Flynn." I ask.

"Turns out Jake had gotten some chic pregnant and she had an abortion without telling him about the pregnancy. She just dumped him and he found out from her best friend. He has been acting up because this all has been eating away at him." He replies and I'm shocked.

"How the hell did he get that chic pregnant, dad and I talked to him about protection many times after he hit puberty." I reply.

"Birth control and condoms aren't 100% effective Teddy. I'm pretty sure there is a little Teddy out there somewhere." He states laughing.

I chuckle, "Shut the hell up man, Lexie would chop my nuts off. Plus I don't plan on being a daddy until Lexie and I have been married at least a of couple years." I reply.

Chris is moping looking at his phone so I ask, "What's up? Why are you down?"

"Before our trip I hooked up with some chic I met at a club with some friends and it turns out she is friends with my most recent ex Brooke…. So Brooke just texted me that hooking up with her friend was a real classy thing to do… I feel bad but I didn't know they were friends." He replies.

"Wow I'm surprised Christopher Grey having a one night stand." I tease him.

"She was super-hot and I'm a grown man with needs." He laughs.

"Hey I'm not judging brother, I just wasn't expecting it. Just be safe bro, there are tons of phony women that are only after money and fame." I remind him.

"I know, dad has warned me many times about being careful who we trust." He replies.

There is a knock on the door and Chris answers it so I don't have to get out of bed. I see Lexie rush over to me getting on the bed and into my chest carefully so she doesn't hurt me. Our lips meet for a passionate kiss, a kiss that is long overdue. Our tongues dancing around and around, we pretty much forgot that Chris is in the room with us.

Chris laughs leaving the room, "I will leave you two love birds alone."

She cries, "Theo I've missed you so much, how are you feeling?"

I wipe away her tears, "I'm better now that you are here, I missed you too baby."
