Thanks so much for the reviews, they are greatly appreciated.
Okay, so here's Chapter 10 the infamous kiss. I've been building toward it and no it's probably anti climatic. But that doesn't make it any less hot does it?
Chapter 10
Chris took his sweet time making his way out of Piper's office leaving his mother smirking. He shook his head. That woman was well on her way to becoming the overbearing annoying mother he knew from his own time.
Then he ran into Phoebe who was there with her boyfriend and her boss Jason Dean.
"Jason, I think you've met Chris." Phoebe said.
"Yeah I think so, he's that guy who's always at your house. Exactly what do you do Chris?" Jason asked.
"I solve problems mostly, and fix stuff." Chris said nonchalantly.
"Oh." Jason said.
"Jason, why don't you go get something to drink while I talk to Chris about that busted pipe." Phoebe said.
Jason nodded and headed over toward the bar.
Phoebe led Chris over to the couch at the corner of the club where the sisters often had their chats in the club.
"I had a premonition, there's a witch in trouble. She's a redhead and she'll be walking her dog in the park around ten thirty tonight."
"Why so late?"
"Beats me. Can you take care of it, if you need help take Piper or Lizzie?" Phoebe said.
"Putting your dates before your Wiccan duties again. I guess Lizzie and I can handle it there's no need to involve Piper. An all purpose potion or two and we'll be good. So I guess I should get Lizzie and get going." Chris said.
"There's awhile before it happens…" Phoebe said, "How is your date going by the way?"
"It's going great actually,"
"So you're finally admitting that it is a date?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah," Chris grunted.
Phoebe laughed loudly.
Chris found Lizzie easily in the crowd.
She was dancing alone swaying to some techno song.
Chris couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. He came up behind her and started dancing.
"I'm sorry buddy, but I'm here with someone and he might be on the thin side but he's got a hell of a temper." She said without turning around.
He gave her a hard spank on her butt, "On the thin side? What is that supposed to mean?"
She gave a startled squeak, "Chris," she said turning to face him.
He gave her a look.
"Well, you are on the thin side. I didn't say you were boney did I?" She asked.
"I am not BONEY!"
"Whatever."
"Don't give me that I came back in time and invented that word. Come on girl we're goin' somewhere." He grabbed her hand and led her through the crowd and up the stairs through P3's proper exit.
After five minutes of stomping down the sidewalk behind the strange skinny Whitelighter Lizzie's feet were throbbing.
"Chris can we please just orb?" She whined.
"No, boney people like myself enjoy vigorous exercise."
"Chris," Lizzie whined as she stopped walking all together.
"If you stop I swear to the Goddess I will just leave you here, in the middle of fucking nowhere to fend for yourself." Chris said.
"Oh kiss my ass Chris. I'm stopping. And if you leave me here I'm gonna sic Leo on your boney ass." Lizzie said and much to her surprise Chris stopped walking and smirked.
"Where are we going anyway are we walking to New York?" Lizzie said.
"No just to Golden Gate Park." He said walking closer to her.
"That is like two and half fucking miles from here! And we would have to walk across the freeway!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"We have fifteen minutes to get there." Chris said grinning cheekily.
"Now you're messing with me."
"Yep." He said looking almost sheepish, his brown hair falling into his striking green eyes.
Lizzie couldn't help think he was cute despite herself. She rolled her eyes she was supposed to be pissed at him.
"I swear you are the most infuriating man I've ever met and if you make me be demon bait one more time today I'll–" Lizzie was cut off when Chris cupped her face and leaned down kissing her.
Her hands went up and her fingers curled in the soft hair at the nape of his neck.
She felt this surge of passion that she'd never felt before when Chris' tongue swept across hers.
Finally, Chris broke off the kiss because they both needed to breathe
"Wow." Chris said.
Lizzie raised an eyebrow, "Did you come back in time and invent that word as well?" Lizzie asked.
"The witty banter is definitely a turn on. But if we don't hurry some poor witch is going to get killed." Chris said.
"Well, let's get going then," Lizzie said, darting ahead of him into the alleyway.
Chris stood there staring at her for a moment.
"Come on! You don't actually think that I'm gonna walk that far in these shoes and make it on time. Uh uh. Come on."
Chris smirked walked into the alleyway with her. Placing his hands on either side of her hips and a light kiss on her lips. He orbed them behind a tree in Golden Gate Park.
"She'll be coming along soon." Chris said.
Lizzie and Chris tried to stay out of view.
Lizzie saw the cute little white terrier puppy before the woman, "Aww… that's a cute puppy. I'm not allowed to have one 'cause of what Matt did to the goldfish." Lizzie whispered.
"What did he do to them–oh never mind looks like our guests have arrived. Take this." Chris said shoving a potion into Lizzie's hand just as three demons appeared behind the woman.
These demons were nothing like the Grocks or even the demons they had faced today. They looked like real demons with horned heads and green skin, and the drool seemed a little demonic too.
Chris shot up from behind the brush throwing out his right arm and releasing his power sending two of the demons flying away from the unsuspecting witch.
The woman let out a startled gasp and she managed to do some sort of self defense move to fend the other demon off.
"I just throw this at him right?" Lizzie asked.
Chris nodded, and Lizzie launched the potion at the demon lying on the ground. Chris threw potions at the other two and they dissolved into a green mist like the one Lizzie had hit.
"Damn girl you got some aim." Chris said.
"Who are you people."
"I'm Lizzie and I'm a witch," Lizzie said stepping forward, "Just like you. And this is Chris my Whitelighter." Lizzie said.
"Thank you so much I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come."
"You'd be dead," Chris said dryly. "You really should be more careful. Demons are trying harder than ever to get rid of good witches."
"Snowflake got fussy," She said picking up the puppy, "Yes you did girl." She said talking baby talk to the dog.
Chris sighed, "Call for your Whitelighter lady. I am on a date." Chris said impatiently.
"Right. April!" The woman called.
And a shower of orbs came and a tawny haired girl not much older than Lizzie appeared.
"Melissa!" the girl April shouted.
"She just got attacked. Protect her." Chris said simply briefing the young Whitelighter.
"Okay, you're Chris Perry right, the super hot Whitelighter from the future?"
Lizzie rolled her eyes.
"Well, I don't know about the super part but yeah that's me. One of my charges had a vision and your charge was in trouble. She should be safe now, I'll have my girls investigate this and eliminate this threat." Chris said.
"Thank you, if there's anything, anything I can do to repay you call me," April said.
"Will do August." Chris said orbing away with Lizzie.
"It's April!" she called after them.
They rematerialized in Lizzie's room, "So does your offer to hang out and watch TV still stand?" Chris asked.
"Yeah." Lizzie smiled.
They both lay down on her bed, she clicked on the TV. And they dived into a marathon block of Making the Band Two.
They were about an hour into it before Lizzie noticed that Chris had fallen asleep, she should have known because he wasn't making fun of Fred's hair.
She couldn't help but think how innocent he looked when he slept; she brushed a lock of his dark hair off his forehead.
She knew it had gotten kind of late, though she didn't want to wake him for the world.
Before he had fallen asleep her parents had poked their heads into her room.
She could tell her father was pleased that he got her home before curfew.
She was watching a fight between Chopper and Ness, when Chris woke up.
"I can't believe I fell asleep like that."
Lizzie smiled, "Well, you've got a tough mission it can be tiresome."
"Yeah, so ummm… what's the deal? I mean with us?" he asked.
Chris wasted no time getting to the point he wanted know what they were, were they a couple. Were they friends who occasionally make out and maybe having hot sex every now and then?
"I don't know Chris. It depends, on how much you're willing to give right now." She said biting her lip.
Well, shit he didn't see that coming.
"Honestly, I wanna try to be the guy for you Lizzie. I hope I don't let you down. You deserve to be treated well, and I'm going to try my best. You're one amazing girl."
"Really?" she asked.
He nodded.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Chris said giving her a peck on the cheek before orbing away.
Chris couldn't believe it he had a girlfriend. Not a sex partner or a friend with benefits. Not some tramp he picked up somewhere, but a girlfriend.
Chris smiled, maybe his mother was right even if she went about things the wrong way.
