Say Ah

Chapter 19: Make yourself at home

Alison POV ~

Once we entered my apartment, I started towards the bathroom to change and get some medicine. Then I was greeted halfway by Randy my dog. I pet him and turned back towards the kitchen to replace his water.

"Well who is this?"

"This is Randy" I watched as he came towards randy to pet him. Surprisingly he didn’t back away from Christopher he only looked a bit nervous.

"He is a shy one isn’t he?" He asked then looked up.

"Yes he is" I replied still surprised at Randy’s reaction.

I went to get the water for Randy.

After the placing his water down, I went to change my clothes. Once in my room, I took out my earrings and removed my other pieces of jewellery and dress. Then I took off my incredibly uncomfortable shoes and put on something more comfortable: t-shirt and pyjama pants for all you dirty minds.

I came out and found Christopher looking through my DVDs and Randy of course was between the sofa and love seat sleeping - although I shouldn’t talking about love seats now given the situation of s****l tension.

To make fun, I threw the big t-shirt and track pants I found in my closet at his head.

"Really? You’re so immature" he turned with the shirt still on his head.

I laughed not realizing that he took the shirt of his head and looking at me intently.

I stopped when I noticed this and blushed.

"Your so beautiful when you laugh. Never stop laughing nor smiling"

I smiled awkwardly. "Thank you".

"Thank you" he answered.

We stood there like idiots looking at each other like it’s the first time we've seen each other. Like it’s the first time I’ve seen a Greek God like him, this s**t only happens my many romance novels that are safely locked away of course.

He seemed like he was about to take a step when Randy’s whine broke the tension between Christopher and I.

I slowly took my eyes off Christopher to see randy clawing at the door lazily.

"Um, you can change in the bathroom down there and just leave your clothes in there as well, I’m gonna have to take Randy outside"

"Ok..." he walked off slowly and I watched him as usual. I’m such stalker, then suddenly he took off the wet shirt showing his incredible muscles while he walked.

I felt like a teenager who stumbled on something online I wasn’t supposed to see.

Am I that innocent? Or was it just him? It had to be.

I shook my head from the thought and walked towards Randy as he looked at me like one of those dogs from the ASPCA commercials.

"Why is everyone I know so dramatic?" I asked myself. He barked most likely impatient.

I got the leash and took him outside to do his business.

Christopher’s POV~

I was so confused after that intense stare off with the beautiful Alison in her living room. I know we do that all the time but this gets stronger and stronger every time, I wanted to kiss her so bad it hurts now.

I sneezed. I really need some medicine. I didn’t want to invade her privacy so I decided to wait after I was done.

I took my stuff out of the pockets of my pants and saw my phone, it reminded me of the conversation with Mathew-my father-on the beach.

If what he says is true, I need to speak with Jose and then a whole boat load of people so that action can be taken. This man is coming back to tear down my life, again and if I know him well enough he will start with the people I love, and I will never let him touch my family.

I heard the door reopen after I came out of the shower, I took a bath with the stuff she put out for me I then quickly put on the shirt Alison gave me and went back out.

"I swear this dog has a one gallon bladder" she said when she saw me.

"What happens when you’re not here?" I asked.

"Well sometimes I leave him with someone else, or he uses the toilet."

"What?" I asked with wide eyes, very impressed.

"Kidding!" She said with her hands up and that adorable grin.

I smiled.

"I wish he could do that though" she responded. "He uses that giant litter thing when I’m not here" she pointed in the corner.

I nodded and sniffed.

"Oh s**t! Let me get that medicine" , She hurried off to the bathroom. I heard her shuffling through stuff in there while I waited patiently, (you know, since I am the patient) I looked through her many DVDs and CDs. So far I’ve seen action movies from Rambo to Robocop to the Expendables. This girl is intense. I like it.

"You interested in any?" I heard her voice behind me.

"Yeah, but where are the crappy romance movies? The readers expect that s**t you know?"

"Readers?" She asked amused.

"Yeah, cause this feels like a romance novel between me and you" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"You've got the moves but they aren’t close to Jagger’s" she said. "But good effort" she complimented.

"Thanks, I just thought of that" I boasted.

"Congrats Christopher you won a Grammy, now take your medicine" she said.

I gave her a look then took it while she went in the kitchen to make coffee.

A long and interesting night just begun.
