This is our beginning and will set the mood so let's do it properly shall we. Jayne Torvill wants to please him uncomfortable with how close his lips are to hers feeling his heat.
"Why does Chris make everything so passionate ?
She knew the answer but quickly dismissed it from her mind. Soon there were more orders and commands to perform in order to get the routine perfect after several hours on the ice " Bolero" came together in a magical sense. Christopher appears happy with the results but not totally satisfied he could see the tow this day of work had cost in Jane's beautiful face. I'm sorry Jayne, I know your doing everything you can to help me. She gives him a faint smile glad he's thinking of her. Chris takes her hand.
I just want to get it right Bolero isn't just another number or dance it's a feeling of two lovers who are unable to marry so they throw themselves into a Volcano. We have the steps but not the passion it's a very passionate dance.
He pulls her close looks into her eyes gives her a kiss.
Jayne quickly steps away breaking his hold. 'That's enough Chris don't patronize me.
What are you talking about Jayne ?
I just want you to get the expression of the dance.
He gives her a look of resignation turns to leave until he's stop dead in his tracks by Jayne's voice.
" Chris, you don't think I can do this do you ?
She skates over to where he's standing takes his hand pulls him into her.
" I know what it's like to want someone till it hurts she looks away trying not to face him.
Chris tilts his head slightly concern for his partner.
Jayne tells him," Passion is just a word to you an act of expression for the audience and the judges to applaud your bloody number. I have passion for us not some dead expression it's real.
Chris said, " I want Us to make love but the Olympics come first this is our time. Trust me everything we've planned will happen.
Several months of hard work and self denial left the couple confident about "Bolero" and their future.
Winning 1983 British and European Championships Jayne and Chris confidence soars leading into Sarajevo Olympics. Everything was going great Jayne and Chris returning to Germany to perfect their Olympic programs.
Chris said, " I want to celebrate us before the madness of the Olympics start let's have dinner at the cabin Betty has rent for us.
Jayne quickly agrees, " I'll take a bag.
Chris said, " No, we're not staying it's only dinner.
Jayne looks disappointed.
"Chris why go if we can't stay one night ?
I'll fix you a lazy breakfast then we'll go outside for your favorite a snow ball fight it'll be fun.
Chris said, " Let's go.
Leaving their training facilities for the Bavarian countryside Jayne calls Betty to inform her about their plans. Their coach Betty Calloway told them to enjoy themselves. Arriving at the cabin viewing the mountains in the background breathing the fresh air was such a pleasure it was hard to go inside.
Chris looked for a place to put their bags while Jayne explored the beautiful rustic cabin pointing out a big bedroom claiming it for herself. Chris place the bags on the floor in a small hallway walks up behind Jayne peers into the bedroom.
Chris said, "Very nice where's my room ?
Jayne points to a small bedroom just off the kitchen she laughs.
Chris said, " Right, thanks Jayne.
A Man of his word Chris goes to the kitchen washes his hands finds everything he needs to make a romantic dinner for two. Jayne takes a seat she pours the wine while Chris places plates of Roast chicken and potatoes on the table they say grace then eat. Once the meal ends they quickly clear away the dishes walk into the living room where a roaring fire softly crackles it's warmth. Jayne wonders why Chris chose the cabin to have dinner why he wanted to come here for what reason. She finds a soft place to sit to watch the fire.
Chris nestles next to Jayne seeing the concern in her expressive blue eyes.
I wanted to come Jayne for a very special reason to let you know how much you mean to me.
I know guys say words all the time to get what they want from a girl but it's hard for me to give myself completely to someone cause I don't want to get hurt. You make me feel alive and I love you.
He reaches into his pants pocket pulls out a small diamond ring placing it on Jayne's finger. It was my mother's before she left home my father gave the ring to me to keep now it's yours. The ring is all I have to give to you please accept it .
Jayne's eyes fill with tears overwhelm by the romantic gesture yet there's one question in her mind.
" Is this a friendship ring ? A Partnership ring ? An Engagement ring ? Is Our future in this ring ? She quietly ask.
Chris said, " It's an Engagement ring that you so deserve.
Jayne wraps her arms around Chris kissing him as hard as she could totally abandoning her promise to keep the romance on the ice this was different and they both knew it. She stood offers her hand to him quickly taking it he gets to his feet. Jayne leads him to the bed room they slowly undress to make love. Jayne breathlessly calls Chris her blonde prince over and over becoming his woman with every stroke of his love. Chris love for her was on full display nothing was forgotten his passion touch her very soul. She felt the wooden frame of the Oak bed break as they tumble hard to the floor.
Chris regaining his senses and breath checks on Jayne.
" Darling are you ok ? he waits for a response.
"What ? Jayne asked.
Jayne are you alright ?
She looks up at him smiling," Yes Chris.
He wraps his arms around Jayne covering her with a sheet from the bed as they fell asleep.
Partners, Friends and now Lovers.
Chris slowly opens his eyes to the wreckage of the Oak bed smiling to himself.
They enjoy breakfast sharing small talk about training nothing about the incredible night of love they created.
They wanted nothing to change about their relationship but it had they were apart of each other on intimate level. Chris fixed the bed frame on the Oak bed tidy up the cabin had a bit of fun winning a snow ball fight with Jayne.
Next day Chris and Jayne were back on the ice with Betty carefully watching her young charges pointing out arm movements and wayward leg positions. She hadn't noticed anything different about Chris and Jayne except two things soft touches and less tension between them.
