Chapter 63
*LONG CHAPTER ALERT*
Another 4 years later :
Chris was ruffling May's hair. It was soft and light brown in color.
He could smell the shampoo off her hair.
They were sitting on the slab of May's bedroom window, gazing at the world outside. It was a sunny day and the flowers in the front of their window bloomed brighter than ever. Basically, it was one of those days where you didn't go out of your house even if it was a pretty day to spend outside because you were lazy.
After all, it was a Sunday.
The sun's orange-yellow rays made May's hair look like the golden hues of some angel. It looked like the golden fragile wings of a butterfly. It was too mesmerizing to not look at.
May looked at Chris and slid her hands around his waist pulling him closer and resting her head on his sturdy and yet somehow soft chest.
Chris kissed her forehead slightly and ran his hand through his hair. A habbit that handed that hadn't died even after all those years. Early stages of greying were showing at the sides of his hairline.
"Papa?", May said.
She had gotten so accustomed to Greece, she didn't use anything else other than the basic Greek words in the Greek accent. He couldn't blame her considering she had been living here since the time she was one.
"Hmmm?", he softly replied
She looked up at him. Her brown eyes burning with curiosity yet the innocent smile never left her face. The smile that was similar to her mother's.
"Where is mama? When can I see her? You always tell me soon but when is soon?",she asked child-like with a babyish lisp to her words.
I can't tell her the truth.. She'll cry hearing her mother is so far away from her.
"Soon, honey. Soon", he answered instead.
Chris' thoughts wandered off to that day.
*
"I'm sorry Chris. Stephanie.... she lost too much blood. It's difficult to save her at this point.", Steve informed him solemnly.
"So? Take mine!", Chris said, exasperatingly.
Steve shook his head sadly and painfully slowly.
"She's an O negative type Chris. You are not. We need a blood donor.. which we don't have at the moment."
"Don't loose hope now! Perhaps we have someone who can donate some to her! Look through all of her contacts and relations!", Wendy stressed.
Steve's eyes perked up in attention. He rushed to his office, made a few calls and began to look through files on his email.
"I found a connection!", Steve announced fifteen minutes later. "But it has to be fast. She barely has more than half a day. Two hours is all we have and so does she."
"Who is it?", Wendy asked, her legs shaking furiously.
Steve pursed his lips.
"It matches with Angela. Mrs.Bats"
Chris thought somebody had poured acid on his body.
*
The bell rang.
Chris patted May's hair and got up to see who it was so late in the afternoon. He opened the door to see a goddess standing in front of him.
Slender in figure and an absolutely charming face. She was about the same height as him. Beautiful, brown eyes stared at him and her brown hair trimmed to shoulder length flowed silkily with the calming breeze.
Her face was almost devoid of any make-up unlike any other woman he had seen. The only hint of make-up he saw was the application of a lip balm. Not even a stick.
Yet she glowed to his eyes.
She wore a pair of jeans and a normal top which said : Get Lost Boys! Taken woman....
Somehow it made him feel proud of his wife.
The woman flew into his arms after about two seconds of meeting him.
"Chris!", she squealed.
Chris' heart was busy doing dances in his chest while his intestines did a happy reunion jiggle in his stomach. He felt tinglish from within and light-hearted.
"Mama!", May shouted before he could say anything else.
"I mished yuo shoooo much my sh-weet heart!", May's mama said cutely.
The mom and child duo did their bit of the 'Meeting after so long' gig while Chris stood jealously behind her.
Stephanie... thank God you're here finally.
"I missed you a lot you know. She was a difficult person to handle with you gone.", he complained.
"I was only gone for a month. And that too for a jail visit.", Stephanie rolled her eyes.
"Seemed like decades", Chris muttered like a child under his breath.
May ran off into her room. Stephanie was about to follow her in too when Chris yanked her back and hugged her from behind. He dug his face into her neck and inhaled deeply.
"Chris are you on drugs?", Stephanie asked worriedly, not understanding his actions fully.
"You are my drug Steph", he whispered as he kissed the nape of her neck.
Stephanie winced as the kiss turned into some sort of a nibble. It didn't really hurt but it was not comfortable either. Felt as if small fishes were finding her tasty.
"What do you call this again?", she asked.
Chris sighed feeling done with his life.
"A hickey Steph. How many times?"
"Whoops! I forget hun", she giggled as she replied.
Chris turned her round and pinned her to the wall adjoining May's room. He licked his lips as he scrutinized every part of her face.
"Should we go through it again then?", he asked in a seductive voice.
It was so thick with sexiness that Stephanie knew there was no way she could resist him.
"Chr- mmph! May'll see!", Stephanie said with difficulty as she was attacked by kisses.
"Let her", he answered with a kiss on her lips.
"What about her innocence? She's only four!"
"They can go to hell"
"Her eyes will die out on her!"
"Let them. It doesn't matter"
"Be an adult!", Stephanie squeaked.
Chris broke off from her and took half a step away from her.
Just half.
A smirk found its way home on his face. God! Hadn't she missed that mischievous glint in those eyes of his!
Stephanie peeked into May's room after gliding away from Chris through the limited space. However, he grabbed his waist bringing her closer to him- or closest!- lest she tried to escape.
"May! Mom is gonna work! Don't come out of the room okay?", she shouted inside.
May looked up form her toys and nodded.
"Are papa and you both gonna do it?", she asked directly.
"What do you mean by it? Who taught you that?", a flustered mama asked.
"Work mama! Papa taught me speak like that with you!", she answered and went back to her toys.
Oh! I'm sure he did.
Chris chuckled softly from beside her. Stephanie closed and locked the door May's room. As soon as she did so, Chris lifted her up and she locked her legs around his waist.
Chris carried her to their room.
"Chris, hun, I really did miss you", Stephanie whispered into his ears with a sweet smile.
Chris stared into his her soft cotton eyes that gave him the feeling of wanting to dance around wearing a belt of Christmas bells around his waist.
"I missed you too Steph. I too did!", he confirmed.
Then he smirked again as usual.
"So shall we continue?"
This time Stephanie replied with a grin of hers too.
"OOooh yes sir!"
