“Seriously what is going on first you turn up for work nearly 2 hours late then I come out here and find this?” a very annoyed comment came from their best friend.
“We’re in a relationship” Karen said happily a feel of jealousy filled up inside Jayne making her turn a little bitchy.
“I don’t care if you are in relationships with the Royal family but, whatever it is that is going on between you both make sure it don’t affect your work and you don’t need to bring it into work either… people don’t want to come out here and see two getting mouthful of each other”
“Someone’s got out the wrong side of the bed this morning” Karen replied as Chris tried not to laugh the pair still stood very closely together.
“Well at least I got out of bed” Jayne snapped back.
“Well sorry but we had other properties to sort out” Karen’s bitchy reply shot back.
“I hardly call pleasuring one another a priority”
“It was nothing like that… not this morning anyway”
“So what was it then?... I want a good enough reason to why you think it’s totally acceptable to not even phone me to say you were going to be late in today, leave me all by myself to teach 12 professionals a routine and turn up nearly 2 hours late”
“There’s no point you wouldn’t understand…” came a very quiet reply from Karen who was resting her head into Chris’ chest.
“No I want to know... now tell me I mean you could have at least told me you were both going to be late, yes I would still not have been very happy but it would have made a difference… I’m not letting you go anywhere until I know the reason”
Karen moved Chris’ arms from around her body keeping her warm and safe pushing past Jayne practically yelling at her as she walked away.
“Well say I don’t want to tell you, say it’s private… It’s called minding your own business once in a while and no Chris won’t be telling you either”
“Karen come back babe… Oh thank you so very much Jayne”
“I see she’s already got you twisted round her little finger with her attentions seeking and what you’ve been together for a day is it?” Jayne replied sarcastically and harshly.
“I never knew you could be like that Jayne seriously what is wrong with you today… you don’t actually realise what grief she is getting from the girls” Chris walked away with half hour left of their lunch break now before they had to get back on the ice and went in search for Karen knowing where she’d be.
*** Karen had managed to persuade Chris to stay at hers for the 2nd night in a row. Chris had gone back to his apartment first to get a few things and when he arrived at Karen’s he let himself in as he still had the key from when they were having the affair 6 months previous. It was very quiet when he arrived Emma was upstairs on her laptop and Laura was snuggled up with Josh on the sofa in the living room watching a film. Chris crept up behind Karen wrapping his arms around her neck gently placing a kiss on her as she sat in her own little world at the kitchen table twiddling a small piece of paper around in her hand. He pulled the chair out carefully that Karen was on and she stood up allowing him to sit down and she sat on his lap with his arms tightly around her as she leant into him.
“What’s that?”
“I’ve been thinking all day about what you said this morning?... but I don’t know still?”
“Thinking about what?”
“Stephen… should I let them call him, Chris please help me what should I do?”
“I think you should let them… he Is their father after all and he hasn’t done anything wrong”
Later on that evening after everyone had, had tea and Josh had gone Karen went and spoke to the girls giving them their dads’ phone number while Chris done the washing up and pouring a glass of wine for himself and Karen.
“Here you go” Karen passed the piece of paper to her oldest daughter Laura who had been missing her dad the most.
“What’s this?” she replied looking slightly confused.
“It’s your dad’ phone number… I realise I’ve been a little harsh and it’s not fair on you both you can call him now if you like” and she passed Laura the phone leaving the room instantly when she heard the phone dialling and closing the door behind her.
“Mum, mum, mum… dad said we can go over to Canada and stay with him for the first two weeks of the Easter holidays… Pleassseeee can we go” Laura came running in all excited like it was Christmas or her birthday.
“No” came a straight answer, Chris was a little shocked at her response and more the fact she hadn’t thought about it.
“But…”
“No buts you’re not going you wouldn’t be able to get tickets in time anyway there is only 2 weeks until the holiday’s”
“He said he would get us some though… there and back”
“No you’re not going so don’t keep going on about it”
For the rest of that evening both girls especially Laura whined on about going to stay with their father in Canada for the first two weeks of the holidays it was beginning to do Karen’ head in and Chris could see it but she was not having any of it and she meant what she said.
Sorry not that much KnC in this bit I don't think anyway but there will be in the next bit xxx

That night as they lay in bed under the silky dark purple cover their bodies keeping each other warm Chris tried talking Karen round into letting the girls go and stay with their dad in Canada for the first couple of weeks of the Easter holidays, but she still wasn’t have any of it no matter what he said. Chris knew how it felt not being allowed to see his sons very often since the affair was out, and he hated to admit it but he did feel a little sorry for Stephen as he wasn’t the one that had done anything wrong. He also knew that Karen needed a break from the girls she had been through so much grief with them in the last six months but didn’t like to admit she was struggling and with the tour being the most busiest in the first 2 weeks it would be a good idea because the girls would just get bored and feed up after the first couple of shows. This would also be two weeks where Karen and Chris could have some time to their selves together as a couple which he thought would be nice even though they would be doing shows or rehashing most of the time, but they could go out in the evenings for dinner or shopping on the days off they did have.
~
“You’ve gone and done what?... the one thing I said was they are not going to Canada… I really can’t believe you’ve done this” Karen yelled at Chris who had never seen her get this angry in quite a few years.
“Karen will you just listen to me first… the only side I’m on is yours baby but he’s done nothing wrong neither have the girls so they should be allowed to go and stay with their own father for 2 weeks during the holidays… I know you don’t want to admit it but I know you need a break from them and all the grief and I don’t mean this is a horrid way either but you and I both know it would be so much easier with the tour… they will just get so bored after the first couple of shows “
“I’m not happy that you went behind my back and phone Stephen to say they could stay with him… I thought I trusted you” she hissed back as she prepared the dinner and Chris walked up and stood behind her very closely wrapping his arms around her waist placing sharp passionate kisses down her neck.
“And means we have 2 weeks to our selves” he whispered seductively into her ear and she couldn’t stay angry with him for long stopping what she was doing and turning around to kiss him back.
“Well when you put it like that”
Karen was pressed up against the work top her hands on Chris’ chest and Chris had one hand on her lower back and the other resting on the inside of her upper thigh as things got very heated in the kitchen it was a good thing neither of the girls were back just yet as dinner hadn’t got very far there was only 1 ½ carrots peeled.
“Shall we take this to the bedroom” a northern whisper came flirtatiously.
Sorry only a short update tonight x

“Are you ready yet?” Karen called up the stairs to both her daughters who were just packing the last few items into their suitcases.
“Ready” they both said together carrying luggage down the stairs and putting it down when they got to the bottom for Chris to load into the back of the car.
Chris was taking the girls to met Stephen at the airport as Karen for 1) didn’t want to make any contact with Stephen and for 2) she knew if she went she’d get all emotional and just never want to let go of her girls, so Chris had offered to take them even though he wasn’t really looking forward to seeing Stephen and hoping it wouldn’t be too awkward. The girls said their goodbyes to their mother both hugging her tightly.
“You definitely have everything you want to take?”
“Yes” they both replied in unison again.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”
“Ok I’m just checking… come here I love you both lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots…”
“Yes I think we get the gist mum” Laura said laughing.
“Bye then, love you” tears began to well up in Karen’ eyes as the car drove off down the road.
While they were at the airport Karen started to get ready as Chris was taking her out for their first dinner out to a posh restaurant that had just opened up in the city not far from Karen’ house. She ran herself a nice relaxing bubbly bath that had bath salts and gorgeous flowery smelling soaps in it, filled nearly to the top with hot boiling water the temperature just right for her skin. After an hour the water was beginning to get cold and the bubbles had now faded into the water she grabbed her fluffy pink towel off the radiator that was warm and wrapped it around her, then got her matching bath robe off the back of the bathroom door wrapping it around her soft tanned skin.
Make-up was carefully applied some foundation, a bit of blusher, thick eye liner with mascara and finally some shinny lip-gloss. Then it was time to move onto her hair which she curled using her GHD’s then puffing her hair up a little giving it a slightly messy but pretty look to it. Chris had just pulled up in the drive way as Karen stood at the open doors of the wardrobe trying to decide on what to wear which she knew was going to take quite a while good thing they weren’t going out until 7:30pm. She wanted something sexy but also sophisticated at the same time but there was so much to choose from it made it very hard.
“I’m back… wow you look beautiful babe” Chris said just staring at her from the doorway of the bedroom.
“Really I’m still in my dressing gown”
“Yes really you always look beautiful no lie about it”
“Chris… don’t you’re gunna muck my hair up” she giggled as he pushed her gently onto the bed kissing her passionately untying the rope of her dressing gown and uncovering her naked body her figure was just perfect.
“Like I said you look beautiful however messy your hair is”
“Seriously get off you big lump I need to find something to wear” she replied cheekily still giggling as he had began to pleasure her.
By 7:30pm Karen had decided on little black dress that came a couple of inches above the knee and was lacy around the top with a pair of black tights and black killer heels.

They went to a new restaurant that had just opened up in town the food was very nice and staff were so polite and they both had plans to go back there sometime again. After paying the bill Chris placed his jacket over Karen’ shoulders that were cold as she only has the lace around the top of the dress was only thin and he was such a kind gentleman like that. He took her hand in his as they stepped out of the warmth of the restaurant into the cold breeze in the street as they walked down the road swaying their hands up and down that were linked together. Giggling and laughing away at the comments each other made the street seemed very quiet with no one around. Little did they know there were paparazzi hiding very well watching every step they made with their cameras at the ready as Chris pulled Karen into his warm body moving his lips to hers and kissing her passionately. Their hands wondered each other’s bodies and they broke the kiss off 5 minutes later continuing to walk home as they’d decided they didn’t want to get a taxi. The paps followed them the rest of that evening as they passed a small park that had a slide, roundabout and three swings.
“Chrriiisssss” came a little voice that sounded so innocent yet mischievous.
“Yes darling”
“Can we go on the swings pleaseeee?” she looked at him sweetly in the eyes and so sweetly and adorable he could hardly say no.
“Please…” she asked again as if she were a child again.
“And how old are you again remind me?” he joked messing around with her.
“I’m never too old to go on the swings”
“Ok come on then” he actually felt like he was talking to his sons and they didn’t even get as excited as Karen was about going on the swings.
She let go of Chris’ hand running over to the swings as best as she could in the killer heels and kicking them off as soon as she sat down pulling her dress down a little further so she wasn’t showing the world what was underneath. There was an old fashioned street lamp shinning down on her that was right next to the swings and the stars were shining brightly in the night sky it was so pretty she just sat and watched for a moment while Chris took his time to walk over to where she was.
“Are you just going to sit there then?”
“No… I need you to push me”
“Seriously… you should be able to push yourself on a swing by now at your age” he said joking around with her again.
“I know but I want you to push me so hurry up and get over here you’re taking forever”
Chris hurried over as quickly as he could to Karen who was starting to get impatient she shuffled a little more onto the swing holding on tightly as Chris began to push her. The feel in her stomach was exciting as she felt the butterflies inside she let out loud giggles and laughs it made Chris so happy knowing she was happy.
“Higher… higher” she screamed with excitement.
“How much of that wine did you have?” he laughed usually Karen would be scared of heights and want to get down which wasn’t too great being a skater but over the years she’d overcome the fear of heights a little.
As the swing began to slow down Chris grabbed her waist bringing the swing to a sudden stop as he picked her up sitting down on the swing himself and Karen sat on his lap. They swung up and down slowly together holding each other tightly and lovingly for a while it was so relaxing neither of them had felt this relaxed in a long time especially Karen but that was all down to Chris’ loving care over the last few weeks. “I love you baby” he said kiss her neck gently as she relaxed her body into him closing her eyes resting them feeling so safe. “Love you too… I wish we could stay here all night…”

They sat very closely on the swing together which was just gently and slowly swinging Chris felt cold droplets of rain that had began to fall wrapping his jacket around Karen’ shoulders a little more tightly so she didn’t get a cold.
“Come on I think we’d better be making our way back now before we get soaked” he said kissing her lips softly.
“But this is so nice and so relaxing”
“I know but we can come back another night maybe one that’s a little warmer too”
Swinging their arms they walked hand in hand down the road soon reaching Karen’ house they cuddled closely under the little porch area sheltering from the rain which was now hammering down while Karen searched for the keys in Chris’ jacket. After 5 minutes of searching for the keys they were finally in the warmth and dry again Chris took his jacket off of Karen’ shoulders and hung it up above the radiator while Karen went into the kitchen. She came back out with a large bottle of very expensive wine and joined Chris who was in the living room handing him a wine glass and pouring the wine nearly all the way to the top before sitting down and cuddling into him. The atmosphere in the room was very romantic and had a loving feeling to it the curtains were drawn, the lights were dimmed almost to the lowest they’d go so they could still see and they’d found a romantic love song chart on the TV that was playing quietly in the background. The room temperature wasn’t just getting heated but so was the playfulness and passionate kissing from the pair as the evening got later and later they had eventually drunk the whole bottle of wine between them. Hands wondering each other’s bodies tugging at each other’s clothes there was a lot of tickling, giggling and moans of pleasure by the end of the night they’d made their way up to Karen’ bedroom to continue their fun.
In the morning they woke quite early considering they didn’t get to sleep until quarter to three that morning. They lay in each other’s arms their naked bodies touching keeping each other warm and safe. Neither remembered what had actually happened before they’d fallen asleep but did remember it was the best fun they’d both had in years. Karen moved her lips to Chris’ and locked hers with his as they began a slow passionate kiss that lasted a couple of minutes.
“What was that for?” Chris asked lovingly Karen was usually one who liked her own space in the morning.
“For last night it was the most fun I’ve had in years honestly I felt so special… thank you”
“You’re welcome babe I had so much fun too” he replied kissing her soft lips again.

“Well, well… we weren’t expecting you two for at least another hour yet” one of the pro skaters said cheekily as Karen and Chris walked through the door and into the training rink where everyone was getting their skates on.
“Why weren’t you expecting us for another hour yet?” Karen asked very confused only Jayne knew about Karen and Chris’s new relationship at that moment in time as they wanted to both keep things as private as possible.
“So what’s going on between you and him then?” another pro said pointing to Chris who was standing next to Karen as confused as she was.
“Nothing, why would there be?”
“This is a little more than nothing I’d say, wouldn’t you?” Dan Whiston who was also a pro skater and very close friends with Karen for years said holding up the paper both Karen and Chris looked in shock and embarrassment at each other as they saw what was on the front page. There was a large photo of the couple on the front page Chris had his hands on Karen’s waist and Karen had her hands linked together around his neck kissing him passionately in the middle of the street.
“There’s a whole 2 pages on it press were following you around all day yesterday…” he continued and was cut off by Frankie Poultney adding her cheeky comment in.
“And apparently what looked like to be the main bedroom at the front of the house the lights didn’t go off until 2:45 this morning… wonder what you two were at?” she said laughing and blushing a little making Karen blush.
Sorry it's like such a useless and tiny update but I've forgotten all the ideas for all of my fics and my mind has just totally gone blank I will try to remember them over the weekend or even come up with a new fic x

“Give that here and get on the ice the lot of you” Karen went over to snatch the paper out their hands away from there.
“Oooo we are moody this morning aren’t we maybe you should have gone to bed earlier” Matt said cheekily mucking around with her before running as fast as he could and onto the ice to escape from her before he got in trouble.
“And as in bed we mean sleep” Dan added also very cheekily.
“Daniel get on the ice now and start working” Karen snapped back taking the paper with her walking at quite a fast pace past Chris who was sat down on the bench doing the laces of his skates up. Chris tried to grab her arm as she went past him but he wasn’t quick enough and she had gone.
“Karen baby, where are you going? What’s wrong?” Chris asked quietly a little confused she had been so happy in the last 24 hours and that had just changed to completely the opposite he didn’t know why but was determined to find out however long it was going to take. Jayne’s eyes met Chris’s and they both looked at one another to see if either one of them knew what was wrong with Karen. Jayne thought she knew what it could be that had made Karen suddenly upset but didn’t want to say in case she was wrong and she worried Chris but you could see from his facial expressions that he was worried anyway.
“Don’t just sit there, go and find her then” Jayne commanded knowing that Chris was a typical bloke and wasn’t very good in these kind of situations also knowing if she didn’t tell him to go find her then he never would not because he didn’t love her, he loved her like nothing or anyone he’d ever loved before in his entire life but just because he felt awkward in them kinds of situations and he always had done. He was scared of saying the wrong thing then that would be it between him and Karen and he didn’t want it to ever end between them. He sat in a daze for a few moments just staring at Jayne waiting for the next thing she’d come out with hoping she’d tell him what to say to Karen.
“Chris! Go and find her now she will be in her dressing room”
“What, What do I say to her? What if I say the wrong thing and that’s that the end of us, oh I hate these kinds of situations”
“Well firstly you need to find out why she ran out like that and why she’s upset give her a cuddle make her feel safe and make her know that you are there for her to listen then, use your common sense and say the things she needs to hear, just go you will be fine she won’t want to break up with you I know she won’t she loves you too much I know that I think I know what’s wrong with her and if I am right then she just needs you to be with her”
Chris put the skate guards back on his blades again and went off to find Karen, Jayne was correct she was in her dressing room curled up in a tiny ball in the corner of the room crying silently to herself. Chris could see her hands shake as she tried wiping the tears away off of her face when she suddenly became aware of his presence. He joined her sitting down with his back against the wall wrapping an arm around Karen’s shoulder and pulling her closely into his warm, muscular body stroking his fingers gently through her hair.
“Shhh, shhh it’s ok baby I’m here with you now please tell me what’s the matter and I can help you, I want to help you I hate seeing you upset like this, I know we have only been together a few weeks but still I’ve always hated to see you upset even when we weren’t together” Chris was thinking every word through in his head as each one came out his mouth just praying and hoping he wasn’t saying the wrong thing or anything to make matters worse whatever the matter was now. Karen looked up at him and showing him the newspaper again that he’d already been shown once by the professional skaters.
“If Stephen finds out about this then he won’t ever let me see the girls again and will have them move to Canada with him I don’t want that Chris I can’t lose my girls”
“Ah Karen darling you won’t lose your girls, how will Stephen find out about this though when he is all the way of there?”
“Chris all it takes is for one word to be put on the internet and that’s it, it will be all over the internet I’ve told both the girls that neither of them are to say anything about us being together for a while yet and they both agreed not to say a word” her eyes filled up with tears and she began to cry hard again this time loudly and Chris could feel her warm tears through his tshirt which made him well up a little.
“I’m sorry baby, whatever happens we will not break up and you will not lose your girls I promise you that do you hear me I promise… I promise…”
Sorry I haven't updated in like a month hope it's not getting boring and I will start to update again more often again when I go on study leave in a couple of weeks time.
