When Chris orbed into his room, Kat was laying on the bed, flat on her back, tossing and catching what appeared to be a bunched up sock. Chris's apparition made her jump, causing the sock to land on her face. She brushed it off briskely and sat up expectantly.
"Well?"
Chris looked at her innocently. "Well what?"
Kat impatiently jumped to her feet. "Well, did they know, were they worried when we didnt show up back at the house, are you in trouble for hooking up with a 'professional aquaintance' ?"
"Yes, no, and amazinly enough, not at all," Chris said, ticking the answers of his fingers.
Kat frowned. "In that order?"
"In that order," Chris agreed.
"So they knew?"
"Yep," Chris nodded.
"But they arent mad?" Kat asked a bit skeptically.
"No. Paige even said that it was about time it happened. Apparently, the only ones that werent aware anything was going on were us."
"Oh. I guess that kinda cheapens my power then, doesnt it? It's supposed to be my job to see these things coming. Must have missed that." She flopped down on the bed, leaning her elbows on her wrinkled jeans and resting her chin in her hands. Chris walked over to the bed and sat down in a smilar fashion next to her.
After a few moments of silence, Kat asked, "So what do we do now?"
Chris straightened up a bit a glanced at Kat. "What do you mean?"
Kat looked back at him. "I mean us. Now that we know the sisters arent gonna kill us for sleeping together, does that really change anything? Are we like......a couple now?" She said the last few words with a hint of disgust in them.
Chris grimaced. "Urg. Couple doesnt sound very appealling to me."
"Nah, me neither." Kat shook her head. "Anyway, thats not my point. Are we just gonna forget any of.... last night happened? Or are we.....not?"
Chris looked at Kat thoughtfully. "Let me be honest with you, ok?" Kat nodded, now looking equally serious and thoughtful. "Last night was....... well, I really liked it. It felt right, in a way, like it was meant to happen, in one way or another. And honestly, I dont think I could forget, even if I tried. I dont want to forget." He sat up a bit straighter and took Kat's hands from her lap and held them in his own. His eyes bore down on her in all sincerity. "You're the most real and amazing thing to have come into my life for quite a while now. And I dont want that to go away."
For a second, a wave of sadness came across Kat's face. However, it was gone so quickly Chris thought that he might have imagined it. Instead it was replaced by a similar look of sincerity and seriousness that rested on Chris's face. Kat softly pulled one of her hands out of Chris's grip and instead placed it on top of his. The skin was rough and a bit cold under her touch, and Kat squeezed the hand firmly, smiling up at Chris's imploring face.
"I dont want to forget either. And I dont want to go away," she said in a barely audible whisper.
"Then don't," Chris said in the same low tone.
Kat smiled and nodded. "Then I wont."
Chris smiled widely, letting go of her hands. One arm extended towards her face and the rough fingers brushed gently against her cheek, sending soft shiver running down her back.
"Good," he said, before leaning down upon her for a welcomed kiss.
Kat and Chris orbed into the kitchen later that evening to find the three sisters sitting around the counter, each busy with their own activity. Paige was doing her nails, Phoebe typing up her newest column, and Piper was going over the club's bills. No one even bothered to look up when Kat and Chris came in, and simply uttered little 'hey's.
"Well, it's nice to see you guys, too," Chris said, a little vexed.
"Sorry, honey, I'm kinda busy right now. Did you guys have a nice day?" Piper asked a bit absentmindedly, still without looking up from her work.
"Yeah. Um, ok, since you guys look so into it right now, we're gonna go upstairs," Chris said. He grabbed Kat's hand and started pulling her towards the stairs.
"Ok, you do that," Phoebe said as they headed up the stairs. She looked up at her sisters as a thought hit her. "Do you think they're......?"
"Well, they had all day to do whatever they want to, you'd think they'd take a break," Paige said, blowing on her nails to dry them.
"Good point. But still, if they decide to pick my bed, I'm killing them both," Phoebe said before going back to her work.
As it turned out, Chris and Kat didnt pick Phoebe's room. Instead, Chris pushed Kat through the bathroom door, checking one last time to make sure none of the sisters had followed before going inside and shutting the door behind him.
Kat sat one the counter next to the sink, giggling. "We're like little 8th graders hiding from their parents," she said in between two giggle fits.
"You're right, but the thing is I am hiding from my parents. Well, my mom, at least," Chris said with a smile, leaning back against the door so that he was facing Kat.
"Yeah, but she didnt seem to mind," Kat said amusingly. "Count yourself lucky, if my dad knew I was here.... I dont even want to think about it," she said, shaking her head.
More laughs followed and Chris came to sit next to Kat on the counter. "Well then," he said, "I'm glad he doesnt know you're here."
Kat smiled up at him. "So am I."
Chris then bent down a little so that their faces where almost at an even height and ran a hand softly over her cheek. He let his fingers trail down her neck and caressed her colarbone that poked out gently above her shirt's collar. His hand then traveled back up the back of her neck and his fingers twirled around in the curled hair that was coming out of her rushingly done pony tail.
"Enough of the teasing," Kat said softly. With a smile, Chris slipped a hand around her waist and pulled her closer. With his free hand, he pulled her chin up so that their faces where a mere half-inch apart, then leaned down and layed a kiss down on her lips.
As the kissing got more and more aggresive, Kat slipped her leg over Chris's so that she was resting in his lap, knees anchored against his thighs, and Chris leaned back against the mirror, holding Kat close against him, a hand running slowly up and down her back.
So concentrated upon their, um, work were they that neither of them heard the approaching footsteps. So it was a surprise to all three people involved when Paige burst through the bathroom door.
She screamed in surprise and jumped back, eyes wide with shock. Kat and Chris looked at Paige, then at each other, then back at Paige, guitily.
"Geez, can't you guys get a room?!" Paige asked in disbelief.
"Um, I thought we just had," Kat said amusingly, sliding off Chris's lap.
"Well......well, get a less-used room and lock the door so innocent people cant burst in on your mating rituals!" Paige said, looking incredibly ticked off.
Kat and Chris couldnt help but chuckle at her. Her hair was sticking out in awkward places since she obviously hadnt combed it since she'd woken up, and her fingers were all spread out to keep her freshly-painted nails from sticking together as she waved her arms around.
"Well maybe you should have knocked," Chris said, still smiling. "Besides, what did you come up here for?"
Paige swiftly grabbed a bottle that rested near the sink. "Nairpolish remover," she snapped at them. "And how was I suppose to know I should have knocked?"
"Never mind, we'll go somewhere else then," Chris said and took Kat's hand. "Come on, I know just the place. And I hope you're not afraid of heights." And with a last look and chuckle at Paige, the two of them orbed away.
Paige shook her head, but couldnt keep a small smile from crossing her face. "Kids today," she muttered before heading back downstairs.
Chris and Kat popped up on the very top of the Golden Gate Bridge, as was now Chris's habit. He usually came here to be alone, but now that the opportunity showed up, he found it was also a great place to not be alone. At least here they wouldnt get bothered.
The sun was setting and the bridge was surrounded in an orangish light, making everything look as if it were glowing with some inner light. A few stars had already popped up in the sky, creating a mix of day and night all around them.
As soon as she realized where they were standing, Kat's grip on Chris's hand tightened.
"Oh boy," she said, leaning over to gaze down at the passing cars below.
"This is one of the many advantages of orbing. Try climbing all the way up here," Chris said, joining Kat on the edge of the bridge.
"Urg, no thanks, I'll pass," she said, backing up a bit.
Chris walked over to her, smiling crookedly.
"So, where were we?" he asked slyly, wrapping his arms around Kat's waist.
Kat cocked an eyebrow and tilted her head. "You never run out of gas, do you?"
"I've yet to see," Chris answered, smiling. "Wanna find out for yourself?"
"Mmmh, why not?" Kat said. She pushed herself up on tiptoes and her lips met Chris's. His tongue brushed her lips, and she opened her mouth a bit wider, inviting him to explore further. Putting a hand on the small of her back and the other behind her neck, Chris gently lowered Kat to the ground. She felt the cool metal of the bridge press against her back, contrasted by the warm weight that pressed against her. Her hand went up to Chris's cheek and she ran her hand up his face then through his hair, at the same time pulling him in closer to her.
In between two kisses, Kat whispered with a grin, "Men really shouldnt be the ones on top," and she pushed Chris to the side, then rolled over on top of him.
Chris sniggered as she settled herself on his chest. "Now that's what you call taking control."
Kat nodded. "Mmh-hmm," she said, and she was about to resume the kissing when a thought occured to her. "Can people see us from down there?" she asked, pointing at the ground beneath them.
Chris considered it for a moment. "No, I dont think so, especially with us laying down like this. It would take a good pair of binoculars to actually be able to tell what anything smaller than a car is from this height. Besides, it's getting dark."
"Oh. Ok then." Kat rolled off of Chris and settled down next to him, arms stretched out above her head. Her gaze wandered among the appearing stars and she let her thoughts flow through her.
This had definetly been one of the weirdest days of her life. There she was, looking at the stars from the top of the Golden Date bridge with a guy she had only offically known for a few days. Yep, life does have its ways to surprise you sometimes. Yet as strange and unexpected as this relationship was, there was something incredibly right about it.
Lost in her thoughts, Kat had not really noticed Chris, and was surprised to find him staring at her when she looked sideways at him.
"What?" she asked, feeling a bit nervous.
Chris smiled and shook his head. "Nothing."
"It's never nothing," Kat muttered as she turned her head back towards the sky.
"I was just thinking about everything, you know. Today's been pretty.....let's say eventful. But it all turned out just fine. It's weird how things can sometimes go for the better just when you least expect it." He paused, looking at her thoughtful expression. "What are you thinking about?"
"About just how much I like how things work out sometimes," Kat said, still looking heaven-wards.
"Really? And is this one of those times?" Chris asked.
"Most certainly. In fact, I think this is the best life's treated me in a long time," Kat said, turning her head to stare back at Chris.
"Good. Me too."
Kat lifted herself on one elbow, leaning towards Chris.
Just as she was about to plant another kiss on Chris's welcoming lips, a blue-bladded knife embedded itself solidly in the metal of the bridge, precisely where Kat's head had been resting merely seconds before.
Both Chris and Kat were on their feet instantly, searching the bridge for the knife's owner. It didnt take long for them to find that person, as he was standing merely a few feets away, his appearance nearly flashing as bright as a shining red beacon. Or more like bright blue, in this case.
The man in question wore robes of the same blue as the blade that he had just released, and looked as if they were soaking wet. The man's black hair, which trailed down to below his shoulders, looked just as drenched. The second Kat and Chris had stood up, the man's hand had gone straight to his hip, where two sheaths, one empty, were strapped.
"I think now would be a great time to go," Chris said in Kat's ear as the man raised his second weapon.
As soon as those words where spoken, Chris and Kat evaporated into a cloud of blue orbs, and the knife sliced through the empty air before rooting itself in the metal tip of the bridge.
The man grunted in disappointment before turning away and disappearing into what looked like a waterfall, tickling out of thin air. Once the tip of the man's robes had vanished behind it, the waterfall collapsed onto itself, leaving the air as undisturbed as it had been only moments before.
