Such Is Life

Part 31

Next morning I asked for my time off and got it! I went to look for Chris to tell him the good news and when he was no where around I figured he was still in his room so Imade my way back up and knocked on the door, no answer.

"Chris?" I shouted.

"It's open." he mumbled, still obviously asleep. I smiled as I pushed the door open and saw him half in and half out of the bed with one eye open.

"Hi." he groaned. "What time is it?"

"It's after 8! Sorry I didn't mean to wake you!"

"It's ok." He said through a yawn.

"I ah just wanted to tell you I got the time off!"

"You did?" I nodded. "Aw man that's great news! Come here!" He patted the bed beside him and I went over and sat down. "What don't I even get a hug?"

I smiled and lay down on top of the douvet and he put his arm around me and held me close to his chest. "So where are we going then?"

"It's a surprise!"

"Just tell me! I don't like surprises!"

"You'll like this one!" he kissed the top of my head, "Well I hope you will!"

"Now I'm worried!"

"Don't be!" he squeezed me tight and ran his hand up and down my arm. God I had missed that so much, just being close to him, being held by him. I wrapped my arm over his waist and snuggled my head into his chest and we fell asleep. I didn't even think I was tired, I think it was just the comfort of being wrapped in his arms, I hadn't felt that relaxed in months.

It was just after 10am when Jason barged into the room yelling that Chris was a lazy bastard and was gonna be late! I jumped and sat bolt upright!

"Oh shit! I ah...sorry I..."

"Jay you fucking asshole I'm off for the week!" Chris moaned and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh shit man I'm sorry I forgot!" Jason ran a hand through his hair, "Look I'll erm go, leave you to it! Sorry!" he smiled at me.

"It's ok."

"Jason don't look at me like that this is my wife! Chrissy meet shit stain!" Chris flopped back onto the bed and put his heands over his face.

"Wife? Oh man! Hey! I've heard a lot about you!" He held out his hand and I shook it and smiled. "I'll go! Sorry again!"

"It's fine really!" I smiled, "Nice to meet you!"

"See ya next week then Chris! Have fun!"

"Yeah see ya!" Chris sighed as Jay closed the door. "Asshole!"

"He was only trying to help!"

"Yeah I know! He's a nice guy really I was just enjoying the sleep!" he smiled.

'Me too!" I stretched, "Maybe you need to lock your door more often!" I laughed remembering his note.

"Yeah but then how would you have gotten in?" He pulled me back down onto the bed.

"I would have knocked until I woke you up!"

"Come here!" He pressed his lips against mine and kissed me deeply, slowly, while running his hands through my hair.

"Mm, Chris don't we need to be going somewhere?"

"Not yet, we can stay here a while longer!" he smiled and kissed me again.

"Ok well...maybe you should lock the door at least?"

"Good point!" he jumped off the bed and locked the door. We didn't leave his room until after 2pm that day.
