Chapter 7

Kriss stayed with Arnold for the whole night, they didn't get much sleep, they talked for hours getting to know each other properly. They talked more about their parents both decided they were better off without them. They talked about their siblings, how they had done things so different. After speaking for a while about this Arnold leant forward,

"Hopefully we can make each other happy" he whispered softly and then kissed her.

He ran his fingers through her silky hair; he caressed her body like it was a Greek Goddess. He kissed her neck and undressed her. There she was naked lying in front of him. She felt so comfortable in his presence.

"Your turn" she whispered before unbuttoning his shirt and pulling it off him. She carried on undressing him until he was in his boxers. She was amazed. Arnold wasn't pulling of his boxers to show himself, he was staring at her, staring into her eyes.

"Is everything ok?" she asked with concern

"Oh yes" he answered "you're perfect, so beautiful" she smiled, hugged him and pulled off his boxers at the same time.

Then they made love. They didn't have sex; they made love, slow passionate love. There was loads of kissing and hugging. Everything was gentle and Kriss was in heaven. She knew that he was the man for her. She knew that she loved him and now she knew that he loved her, she didn't want it to end. She was surprised but when it did end, she didn't need anymore, normally she could go for three or four times in one night, but not tonight she was satisfied and she was done.

Arnold stayed with her and hugged her. He wanted to carry on talking to her about personal things. He wanted her to know that she was the first girl he felt like this about, the first girl he'd lasted for and the first girl he ever wanted. He finally realised that this was why he'd mucked up around girls before, because his conscience was waiting for the right one, his conscience was waiting for Kristine Kochanski.

They fell asleep in each other's arms and when they woke up they didn't want to get out of bed. They wanted to stay together and make more gentle, passionate love. So they did, they missed breakfast, but neither of them cared they were just happy to be together and weren't really worried about their stomachs at all.

Kriss knew that she needed to talk to Dave about all this; she thought that by now he might have calmed down. She was hoping he was calm anyway. She got out of bed and started to get dressed.

"Is everything ok Kriss?" Arnold sounded rather concerned "did I hurt you at all"

"No, no, no" she replied "but I'm sorry darling but I need to have a word with Dave, try and sort this out"

"Okay my love," he responded sending a grin onto Kriss' face. "It was okay though, you didn't get hurt"

"Not at all, it's the first time I've ever had it so gentle, it was lovely, you were really thinking about me" Kriss paused for a minute, did she really mean the next comment she was going to make, she thought she did, actually she knew she did "I love you, Arnold Judas Rimmer" she screamed at the top of her voice.

"I love you too Kristine," Arnold replied, "I love you so much"
