As Chris sat down in one of the armchairs in the apartment, Lena sat down on the arm of the chair and listened to the conversation, looking back and forth between them as they talked. When Chris ran his hand through his hair, she knew he was feeling stressed about it, so she kissed his forehead briefly and lightly. You'll be great, hun. |
Chris felt that kiss to his forehead and he couldn't feel less stressed. He looked up to Helena as he took her hand. "Thanks." He said quietly to her. He turned back to Danny. "But why me again?" He asked curiously. Danny bit his lip what was he suppose to say. "Errr well there isn't just the talking with the guy part. He wants a song. A new song played for him tomorrow. He asked who the strongest in the band was and you are hands down the best song writer. There doesn't have to be lyrics just instramentals." He said. "I know it's a lot buuuut..." He trailed off. Chris's jaw dropped. "A new song? By tomorrow morning? You're kidding. How the hell am I suppose to do that?!" Grahhhh! If he wasn't stressing enough this was just adding on to it more. Way to ruin a great day guys.... |
The corner of Lena's mouth smiled in return to Chris's thanks and she nodded her head very slightly. But then she looked back at Danny as he spoke and she felt Chris's stress rise sooo much more right after that. Chris, you have to calm down, Lena said quietly, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. It will be fine just.... h-how about I make dinner? AHH!! What the hell was she supposed to say?? |
Okkkay Danny has done his job for the day. He heard Helena mention dinner and he shook his head slightly. "I think we have to take a rain check on that one. As great as that sound tomorrow might be better.. after Chris is not ready to hurt me." He said honeslty. He stood up and patted Chris's shoulder. "Your going to do fine bud, and if you don't so what it's there lost." He said to him as he walked over to the door waiting for the other two. "Yeahhhh! What Danny said you can't screw it up that much..." Though he was cut off from speaking by Maggie placing her hand over his mouth. "Shut up you idoit." She whispered. "You will be fine Chris. If you need any help call we are right down the hall." That's all that could be said before the three had left. Calm down right easy for Helena to say...He watched as the three left. Greattt so they leave him with all the work and then put him in a crappy mood. "This sucks a lot...." He whispered and he looked back up at Lena as he placed his arm around her and moved her so she was in his lap and he just held her tight. What was he suppose to do now??? |
Greeeeat suggestion, Helena. Just brilliant. Crisis on the horizon and she suggests dinner?? She couldn't even muster up the courage to say anything to the band as they left. She let Chris pull her down onto his lap and held him as tightly as she was holding her.... for a moment. Then she pulled back and made him look at her. You listen to me, Chris Kaplan. You are going to write this song and do amazing, do you hear me? I know you can do this, okay? Her green eyes scanned him for a moment before she kissed him, not too short and not too long. You're going to do fine, she promised in a whisper. |
Chris just rested his head on Lena's shoulder as she held him just as tight. Not long after was she making him look at her straight in the eyes. At her words he wanted to say no that he couldn't but if Lena believe in him that much he could do this righhhht? He took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeahhh I hear you." He said right before he felt Helena's perfectly, soft lips on his. He kissed her back, that was until she pulled back. "Thanks for believing in me so much." He whispered to her. |
Well, kissing back was a reaction, right? At least he wasn't still in shock. Lena smiled at his whispered words and kissed his forehead once more, lingering there a moment. Any time, babycakes, she said, her smile widening at the pet name she hadn't been able to use in so long. She pulled back slightly to look at him once more. You'll find the inspiration, I know it. |
This time as Lena kissed his forehead he smiled slightly to her. But watching that widening smile on her face made his smile just as wide and with that pet name he chuckled slightly. "I love you." He said kissing her cheek. "I hope sooo." He said trailing off at the end as he look Lena straight in the eyes. |
Helena smiled as he kissed her cheek and said those three magic words that made her putty in his hands. I love you, too, she said quietly, though the smile remained. When Chris looked her straight in the eyes, though, she frowned slightly and pushed a piece of his hair back from his face. What is it? she asked. |
The smile on his face stay the same as Chris heard Lena's answer. He felt his heart beat faster though. He loves that this feeling still happens even after dating Lena for a year and a half now. To her words Chris didn't answer he just looked at her still even after she had moved the piece of stubborn hair out of his face. "Nothing." He said simply. "I just love you sooo much I can't take me eyes off of you." He said quietly. "Soooo before I get all into my writing and such what was it you wanted to tell me?" He asked curiously as he kept a tight hold on Helena. |
Lena couldn't help it; she blushed under that gaze.... that perfect gaze. Anyone else might have thought it was just one of those sweet things that guys said without really meaning, but for Chris, Helena knew better. It was true for him. At his question, she chuckled and pulled him into a hug. I just think you're going to have a hard time getting me to go on that plane in a few weeks, she whispered, her smile turning a bit sad. |
Hehe! Everytime Chris saw that blush he couldn't help but smile. "You are so cute." He with a light chuckle. But not long after did he feel Helena pull him into a hug. "I know it will be hard baby. But sadly you can't stay forever." He said with a small sigh as he huggwd her back wanting to stay like this and never letting go. |
Lena almost laughed lightly at his words but caught herself and just smiled, though Chris wouldn't be able to tell of either since she was still hugging him. She echoed his sigh, staying firmly where she was, not wanting to move a muscle. We'll just see about that, she mumbled, her smile reappearing as she did so in spite of herself. |
It was hard to hear Lena as she mumbled into him but Chris had made it out. A wide happy smile appeard on his face. Really!!! Like maybe she could stay??? He kept hugging her not wanting to let go and have to go write. Aghhh! "Really?" He asked quietly not moving from Lena at all as he gave her a gentle squeeze. |
Helena felt that squeeze and took in a small breath, not sure if she was regretting saying what she did or not. You know I'd love to stay as long as I can, she started slowly, wondering if they were going to actually hit on what she'd been thinking about at the park. ...but there's no way I'm getting in the way of your music, she finished. |
To Lena's words Chris nodded. It just seemed to good to be true. "I know you would stay as long as you could. And you could never get in the way of my music." He told her honestly as he finally pulled back to look at her. "But a guy can dream can't he?" He said brushing some of her hair back as he leaned into kiss her. |
Ohhhhh, yes she could. Helena could definitely screw up everything Chris had going for him and she sure wasn't going to let herself do that no matter what he said.... still, Lena smiled at his words and managed to get an, I suppose so, out before he kissed her. She kissed him back despite the slight bit of change in mind-frame because she loved him still. |
Something with Lena still seemed off. Although she was kissing him back there was just something....not right??? Chris pulled back after only a short time to study her. "Helena there is something wrong...isn't there?" He asked softly. Had he done something!? What could he have possible done! He had a sort of worried face as he wanted for an answer. |
Helena was surprised that Chris pulled back so quickly - even for him. She frowned as he just looked at her for a moment. At his question, the frown disappeared and she shook her head. No, there's not. It just sucks knowing I have to leave.... but I'm trying not to think about it, she assured him with a bit of a grim smile as she nodded curtly. |
Ohhhhh that was it. Helena leaving. Chris just wrapped his arms around her tight once more. "I know it sucks." He agreed. But then he smiled a small smile as she said she was trying not to think about it. "Good." He said kissing her cheek. "I love you." He whispered. |
Lena felt so much better in Chris's arms, even though she knew it was short-lived - both short- and long-term. She smiled slightly as he kissed her cheek, holding him a bit tighter as he said that he loved her once more. I love you, too, she whispered back, giving him a gentle squeeze. |
Chris smiled stayed as Lena returned his 'I love you' and gave him a gentle squeeze. He wished to just stay like this all night long. He sighed though he kept his arms around Helena. "Is there anything else you need to say before you lose my attention for almost probably the rest of the night?" He asked with a small chuckle. Though it was true. Writting music wasn't as easy as it may seem.... |
A weak smile came onto Lena's lips at this question - especially since he kept his arms around her as tightly as they had been. Surprisingly, she pulled back slightly, but just enough to smile at Chris. Yes there is, she said before her smile widened and she kissed him for a few moments. Then she pulled back once more. Okay, I'm good now, Lena said with a laugh as she stood up, stretched and, looking back once, headed to the kitchen. |
Chris looked at Lena as she had something to tell him. But he quickly found that she really wanted to kiss him. He kissed her back smiling slightly with in the kiss. As she pulled back he beamed at her. "You sure? I want to make sure you said everything you needed to." He teased her as Lena stood up from his lap. Ahhhhh great! Writting time. He smiled as she headed into the kitchen and he too stood up. Chris walked over to the keybord that he had set up and sat down as he turned it on. He ran his fingers over the keys just playing waiting to see what would pop into his head.... |
To be quite honest, Helena was really interested in what Chris would come up with and, though she didn't want to disturb his writing, she was sort of eager to watch him actually write a song... no pressure, right? A couple quick looks through the cabinets and refridgerator told Lena that she would definitely have to go to the store soon if she would be there for the next two weeks. Humming lightly to herself, she decided to go the easy route and (since they hadn't had much of a lunch) make some spaghetti. As she waited for the water to boil, she leaned on the counter slightly and looked around the kitchen, her arms crossed as she did so. |
