Jayne and I where talking in the Kiss and Cry area while Chris was getting some moves for Jayne and Chris' routine that week.
"Jayne, I'm worried about him, he's not himself these days."
"I know Karen, every since Jill said she wants a divorse his brain has not been registering at all! It's starting to anoyy me actually."
Later that night i was sitting in my room thinking about what Jayne had said. What if it WAS to do with the divorse, what if he isn't coping with it. i should phone him.
I picked up my phone to see what the time as 9:34pm "he should be up"
i typed in chris' name as he came up on my scrren i pressed the call button.
"Hello" Chris said as if he was tired and couldn't be bothered.
"Hey Chris, It's Karen." i heard sobs at the other end off the phone.
"Chris i'm on my way over!"
I grabbed my car keys, and my jacket and walked to my car and text Jayne saying that i was going to see Chris and said that he was crying on the other end off the phone.
I arrived at Chris' flat and as i was just about tho knock on the door, the door flung open and Chris pulled me into the hall, slammed and heald onto me tight.
"Karen... thank...god ... your .....here" Chris said inbetween crying.
"Hey it's alright, you will be fine, whats wrong Chris, me and Jayne are worried about you. You aren't the same in the Training since last week. Are you alright?"
"I don't know Karen. I am not feeling myself after Jill phoning me saying that she wants a divorse and saying that I am married more to skating rather than her. Hearing that it mde me feel awful! Like I wasn'Nt there for my boys and I don't know what to do Karen. My life is a mess."
"Chris it's alright in here."
"can you stay with me tonight please"
"Chris.."
"Karen please" on his knees giving Karen the puppy dog look
"Okay" giving into Chris .

Karen awoke to the sound of an unfamiliar alarm than usual. Karen opened her eyes to see a room that wasn't hers, and found her self in the arms of her best friend.
"S**t, Chris what happened last night?" Karen said moving out of the bed to notice that neither her or Chris had no clothes on.
"Chris wake up! Oh my god! Oh am I going to explain this?! ..... Steve!...." "Karen, what are you on about?" "What happened last night?" "Karen, calm down!" "no this can't happen, Chris it can't... Listen this was a one night thing and it CAN'T happen again!" "Kaz" "What happened last night?" I was curious about what happened. Nobody knew this but I had a bit of a crush on Chris when we were skating back in the 80's but I four Steve and became madly in love with him and I would never do anything to hurt him in anyway or the girls. I don't know but I think I still have feelings for Chris, but I can't tell him. I got startled from my thoughts by Chris handing me one of his t-shirts and a pair of his boxers so we could go and get a cuppa an take things over.
When i went into the kitchen, I found Chris over at the kettle waiting for it to boil, he turned around to face me
"Karen" I stopped him by putting my finger up to his mouth. "Chris listen, sorry for having a go at you earlier b...." the next thing I know was that Chris' lips where softly ceresing mine. This was one of the best kisses I have ever had. Better than my first kiss. I flung my hands around his neck and Chris put his hands on the bottom of my back.
We moved into the living room just as Chris had taken off my well his t-shirt and was working on getting his trackies off the house phone went off and so did my mobile. Chris and I stopped kissing. Which i was not happy about hut neither was Chris by the look on his face. " I get the house phone and you can get your mobile" Chris said as he lent into kiss me one more time.
It was Stephen
"Hi Steve"
"Hi sweetheart"
"sorry I didn't hear my mobile"
"it's alright, can you tell Jayne and Chris that i won't be able to come down to london and I will just help the northern lot out"
"okay, I will tell them"
"thank you, are you coming up on Thursday?"
"Em, probely not but I will skype the girls"
"okay I will let you off,bye sweetheart. Love you with all my heart"
"bye" I hung up straight away as I was finding it hard to tell Steve that I loved him. I don't know but all I know is that I have fellings for Chris.
(Chris' POV)
*** It was a Sunday night, Jill had asked for a divorce months ago and it was just about to be final. As soon as Dancing On Ice was a few weeks opening. I felt lost, I had nothing to aim for in life. I have already won the winter olympics. Had 2 Failed marriages not 1 but 2! I have 2 AMAZING sons but I they live with their mother and I am currently living in London.
At rehearsals Jayne and Karen where talking about something, me probely.
Later that night at about 9:40 I had a phone call on my phone. I looked at it and saw a photo of Karen and myself pop up on the screen
"hello" I said not wanting to talk to anyone
"hi Chris, It's Karen" as soon as I heard her sweet Northern accent I sat up immediately nearly knocking my iPad off my lap, as I grabbed the iPad a touch the button and a photo of the boys, me and jill popped up we looked like a happy family. I burst into tears then next thing I heard was Karen saying that she was on her way.
When I heard her car come up the drive I burst into tears again. I managed to stop myself crying. As soon as Karen walked into the hall I burst into tears. Karen hugged me and her hug felt so warm and comfortable that I didn't want to let go. I had opened a bottle of wine earlier that night but hadn't got round to drinking it. Karen took me by the hand into the living room. " fancy a drink Karen?" I ask as my tears had stopped and I had moved out of Karen shoulder.
"yeah, go on then,"
As I walked into the kitchen, I saw the bottle of wine sitting on the worktop, I picked up the bottle and took it through to the living room along with two glasses.
"Chris don't be so"
"Karen I don't care I am not working tomorrow and I want to have drink with one of my best friends. Is that alright?"
"yeah, I guess so"
After three bottles Karen and I had become quite close on the three seated sofa, and quite drunk.
"Karen do you know what I love about you?"
"no Chris I don't, what do you love about me?"
"your smile and laugh"
"Chris stop you are making me blush" Karen said putting her head on my shoulder. I lifted my left hand and put it on her hair and stroked her hair softly. Then I moved my glass into my left hand and put my right arm around Karen and started stroking her hair with my right hand as Karen was snuggling into my chest.
Karen looked up from the tv that we had put on about half and hour ago.
"Chris, who do you... Actually never mind"
"actually Chris can I ask you a question?"
"yeah, sure shoot"
"if you had to choose between me and Jayne who would you pick?"
"as in skating or what?"
"like kissing... Actually let's play Snog, Marry, Avoid"
"okay,you pick 3 for me go"
"okay, Katriana Witt, Victoriaj Beckham and .... Carol Vordeman"
"Snog Carol Vordeman , Marry Katriana and avoid Posh"
"Avoid Posh! Okay?"
"okay your turn, Dan Whiston, Steve and Matt Evers"
"My Steve?"
"yeah your Steve"
"okay, Snog, Dan, marry Steve and avoid Matt and don't tell him that please"
"okay I won't okay round 2"
"okay Me, Jayne and Hayley Williams"
"Okay never heard of the last 1, emm Snog Jayne, Marry You and avoid who ever you said"
I saw Karen face light up as soon as I said that I would Marry her. I lent down to kiss Karen on the head but she went up to kiss my cheek at the same time and out lips met. Karen pulled away quickly.
"oh my god, Chris I am so sorry!"
"don't be it's fine."
" I went to kiss Karens head again and our lips met again! This time Karen didn't pull away she actually kissed back. I put my tounge around the lining of her lips. She opened her mouth and we went into a very passionate Snog.
I pulled away to breathe and Karen let out a small "OMG I can't believe I just kiss 1 half of Torvill and Dean. Laugh. I lent forward again to kiss her. This time I pushed Karen onto her back forgetting that she was at the edge of the couch and we both ended up on the floor in a fit of laughter. I got off Karen then we continued the kiss. We moved up stairs and the rest is a blur.
The next morning I woke to Karen screaming and shouting about sleeping with me. I didn't really pay attention. So I got up and put a pair of trackies and got a pair of boxers and a T- shirt that she could change into while I went to put the kettle on.
When Karen finally came into the kitchen, I was about to speak to her but she stopped me. Karen started to talk but I couldn't help myself and lent in for another kiss. We moved into the living room. I removed the t-shirt from her body while Karen tried to undo the knot my trackie ties where in. Just as she nearly undid the knot, The house phone went off and her mobile started to play The Show by Lenka, we stopped kissing. I said to get her mobile while I went to see who was interrupting Karen and I. As I gave a quick kiss I went out into the hall to catch the phone.
"Hello damn missed it". He checked of there was a voicemail and there was.
"Christopher Colin Dean, when you get this phone me back straight away!" it was my ex wife, I didn't really want to talk to her at the moment. I put the phone down and went back to join Karen in the living room. I walked to find Karen still on the phone standing with her back to the door, so I went through to the kitchen to make a cuppa for her as the phone call didn't sound to go from where I was standing. The rest of the day was spent wrapped up in blankets and watching DVDs.
The next few days we were back at the rink an the paps had been outside my flat waiting for Karen and I, to see if anything was happening between us.
A few weeks later the tour had started and it was in full swing. We were at Manchester. The final destination for Dancing On Ice Tour 2010. Everyone didn't want to leave because they had so much fun and make great friends. It was the interval and Stephen, who was quest judging for the night approached me
"Hi Chris, is it alright if I talk to you for a sec"
"yeah sure, what's up?"
"just wanted to ask you, are you having an affair with my wife?" Stephen looked serious. I looked him in the eye and said "Stephen I am bit seeing Karen, we are just good friends. She was just helping me with me with the divorce that's all."
"Chris, I am so sorry."
"it's alright, why do you ask anyway?"
"it's just because when I needed her during the hard times I have had in the past few months and she has been with you."
"Stephen, I am really sorry to hear that and I hope we can get over this."
During the summer Chris and I kept in contact as we always did but it was everyday not every other day.
After the break we started to train the new celebrities. During one of the longest days we had, Chris asked if Jayne and I would like tonight round to his for dinner. Jayne declined as she was going home to Phil, Kieran and Jess.
"Please Karen, I have everything ready it just need to go in the oven. Please"
"Chris I don't know."
"Karen please, we need to talk about earlier this year. Please"
"alright,"
Later that night i was started to get nervous. I hadn't told Chris or Jayne that I had separated from Stephen. It was 7 o'clock on the dot when I arrived at Chris'. As I walked up to the front door, I heard pots and pans clattering indoors. So I knocked on the door, no answer so I opened his front door. The smell of burning food caught my throat all that went through my head was"chippy tea date"
"Chris do you need a hand?" I ask as I walked into the kitchen.
"Oh God Karen, are you trying in to give me a heart attack!?"
"Sorry, didn't mean to walk in, I knocked and there was no answer."
"no it's fine. I am sorry to say that we will either head down to the chippy or I could take you somewhere nicer."
"I dont mind where we go"
"okay, let's go out I know a great restaurant"
Later on we arrived at a nice small restaurant. As we where waiting for our food to arrive, I had to tell Chris about me and Stephen.
"I need to tell you something" both Chris and I said at the same time, Bursting into giggles.
"After you" I said.
"no after you, women first"
"Chris, Stephen and I have split up."
"Oh Karen, I am so sorry"
"it's okay, it was s mutual choice"
"Kaz, I..."
"Chris it's fine, now what did you want to tell me?"
"oh it dosen't matter now"
"no Chris please, it might cheer me up"
"Em, I've been thing."
"about...?"
"you, no me, well us"
"what do you mean us?"
"well I have been thinking about earlier this year"
"ah huh"
"well since you helped me with everything and well you and Jayne but you and I like the skating and I have no idea what I am going on about sorry"
"it's alright" I lent over the table to grab his hand.
Omg I can't believe he just said that! Does he actually feel this way about me? What should I say back? Karen what would Jayne do? Scream and shout and do a happy dance but apart from that?
"Chris just eat your starter before it gets cold"
There you go! That will do!
"okay"
S***E now He thinks that I don't like him. Oh God! But I do like him, I have always like him, even when we were young and competing but it wouldn't of worked as he lived in Nottingham and I lived in Manchester. But what he didn't know was that I liked him aswell.
The rest of our starter was in silence. After the plates had been taken away. I need to tell Chris.
"hey, you alright?" I ask wondering as Chris was one of those people who didn't shut up.
"yeah, actually Karen. Forget why I said earlier as it was stupid and you are married."
"no I'm not."
"What! Since when?"
"since May. I was going to tell you and Jayne the other day but I didn't and I forgot. Oops"
"well maybe that is because you and Jayne are terrible together"
"we aren't that bad are we?"
"yes"
"sorry, thank you" last part was for as the waiter put the main meal on the table.
After we had finished our main we had been given the dessert menu.
"fancy anything?" Chris ask.
"no, not really. You?"
"nope, excuse me waiter can we please have the bill?"
"Chris here" I said Handing him some money.
"Karen, no I am paying for it not you"
"fine" I was not up for an argument with him over who was paying.
As we walked out of the restaurant. "see my earlier remark, I take it back. I get it you dont like me it's fine. I stopped Chris, and kissed him.
"does that answer your question!" I had the biggest grin on my ave. I was the happiest girl alive, and wanted to tell the world. But unknown to us that, that would happen the very next morning.
