A/N: Why not put up 2 chapters. Enjoy

Christian's POV

I get out of the tub and wrap a towel around my waist. I walk into the room and dry off and put on my pajamas. All of a sudden, I see the door swing open and Chanelle fly into the room.

"Well don't you look irresistible this evening." I say trying to lighten her mood but she shoots me a ice cold look. "What's wrong with you?" She puts on her shirt and a pair of jeans and then toss my phone on the bed.

"I don't know. Ask E.L. I'm sure she can help you figure that out. I'm headed to Kellie's." She spits out. Fuck! Elena finds ways to ruin anything good in my life. I'm pissed off and I'm about to lose Chanelle again.

"Chanelle...wait! I can explain." I run to her and grab her waist. She gets out of my arms and punches me in the arm.

"How could you Christian?! I thought this would work between us but clearly I was wrong. I don't know why I decided to date another suit!" She said. That hurt me and I know I deserved it. I wrap my arms around and she began to cry. I ran my fingers through her hair trying to calm her down. She sinks to her knees and I fall with her.

"Shh. I'm so sorry Chanelle. Please don't leave me. I can explain everything." Still holding her in my arms she went limp. I looked down and she cried herself to sleep. I pick her up and laid her on the bed. I took of her pants and shirt and pulled the covers back. I picked her up and slid her warm body into the covers. Once I pulled the sheets back up, I gave her a kiss and grabbed my phone. I looked back at her and flip the light switch off and closed the room door. I walk into the living room and dial Elena.

Chanelle's POV

"I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE ELENA! DON'T CONTACT ME UNLESS IT IS BUSINESS RELATED!" I heard Christian yelling but I thought I was dreaming. I reach my arm to his side of the bed and it's cold. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU MISS ME! YOU ARE TO NEVER CONTACT ME UNLESS IT'S BUSINESS RELATED! THAT PART OF MY LIFE IS OVER!" I am definitely not dreaming. Who is Elena and why is he screaming at her? I wonder if one of the girls would know. I found my phone in the pocket of my jeans and dialed Kellie.

"Hey Nelly!" She said.

"Hey! You followed Christian's life. Who is Elena?" I asked. She let out a small gasp. "Umm...i'll take that as a bad sign."

"Chanelle, you need to stay far away from her. According to the tabloids, that was Christian's "dominatrix." I don't know how much of it is true but that's what it said. Why are you asking?" Kellie has always been a curious one.

"I was going into the kitchen to get something to drink and he got a text from E.L saying she missed him." I say softly. I hear Christian yell again.

"ELENA! ENOUGH! I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU MISS ME! I AM SPOKEN FOR NOW AND NO YOU CAN'T MEET HER! GOOD NIGHT ELENA!"

"Did you hear that?" I ask

"Yeah. That man has a temper out of this world. I think he makes Jules look tamed." We both laugh and I hear him coming toward the room.

"Shit! I gotta go Kells. Christian is coming back." I say trying to rush off the phone.

"Ok! Remember! Stay away from her. She is bad news Nelly." She warns me again.

"Ok. Love you! Bye!" I hang the phone up and look up. I see Christian walk in and start rummaging through his bag. Time to break the tension in the room. "Hey." I say with a soft voice. He turns around and gives me a smile and begins to walk toward me.

"Hey! How are you feeling?" He ask me while pressing a light kiss on my forehead.

"Better. Look. I'm sorry for flipping out on you like that. I didn't mean to. I've had so many bad things happen to me in the last few years...I...I just don't want them to happen again." I say as I lay back down on the bed. Christian crawls in next to me and runs his fingers through my hair.

"I know Chanelle. I should have come to you about her." He says while breathing in my scent. I let out a small sigh and stare at the ceiling. "So rumor has it you know how to work a sniper rifle." I begin to smile. That lesson with Jules was fun.

"It's true. Jules was an Army sergeant and she wanted her friends to be safe so she showed us how to fight and how to use guns properly if we wanted to learn and own one. I have always been a fan of the sniper rifle. It gets the job done quiet and fast." I look and see Christian's face. He is cringing at the fact I use a sniper rifle. "So by your facial expression, I am going to take you are very anti-gun." He nods and I shake my head.

"What? I never liked guns." He said with a low voice.

"I didn't say anything. I don't go around carrying guns on me. I use it only in extreme situations. For example. In Pennsylvania, if someone breaks into your house and tries to escape, you have up until the end of your block to do something. The night Jules bought me a sniper rifle with a sound suppressor, my house got rob and the person who rob our house was dumb enough to stand in the back of our house waiting for his ride to come back around. I sniped him and flatten the tires of the escape vehicle. The cops came 3 minutes after that and arrested the guys who robbed my house." Christian looks mortified and I began to snicker.

"You didn't kill the guy?" He asked quietly.

"No! I wanted to because he took my Xbox and my computer. I shot him right in the back of his knee." I said. "Not my proudest moment but I will do anything to protect my family and my expensive belongings." I said while still staring at the ceiling. Christian pulls me close and kisses my hair.

"So where is your sniper rifle now?" He asked.

"In a very unique hiding spot in my house in Seattle." He jumps up and looks at me. I get up and look at him. "What?" He grabs his phone and begins to dial Taylor.

"Chanelle, I need to know exactly where that spot is." I thought he was going nuts and the night that Gideon broke into my house dawned on me. "OH FUCK!" I shouted. Oh for Buddha's sake please tell me my gun is still there.

Christian's POV

I dialed Taylor and waited for him to pick up.

"Yes sir?"

"Taylor! I need you to go to Chanelle's house and look for a particular item." I say in a panic.

"Yes sir! What am I looking for?" he ask.

"A sniper rifle." Taylor goes quiet and he sighs.

"That was already handled when we surveyed the damage to Ms. Howard's house. It seems that Mr. Cross found it and forgot to take it with him that day. We have it locked up in the security room with the extra ammo as well." I let out a sigh of relief.

"Good! Thank you Taylor!" I tell him

"No problem sir and if you can tell Chanelle that Sawyer and I are quite impressed with it." I may be anti-gun but I smile because Chanelle has my staff wrapped around her fingers now.

"I will tell her. Good night Taylor." I hang up and I see Chanelle pacing slowly.

"Well, it was handled. Taylor and Sawyer spotted it the day Gideon broke into your house. It is back at Escala and they are apparently impressed with the rifle you own." I say as I purse my lips. She begins to giggle.

"Well, I'm glad they are impressed. I only take it to the gun range really. Haven't really had a reason to use it so, if you think I'm going to use it willy nilly then you are mistaken." She says as she kisses my forehead. "I'm sleepy, so if you don't mind I would like to go to sleep."

I laugh a little and lay down beside her. "Chanelle?" I say in a whisper.

"Hmmm?" She says all so sleepy like. I pause and let out a sigh. I listen to her breathe and she is out cold and snoring lightly. The way she sleeps brings a smile to my face. I kiss her hair and pull her closer.

"I think I am truly falling for you." I whisper and fall asleep.
