“What? Is this what you do? Get a few hours into a relationship; and then you just end it.” “I haven’t ended it. You’ve been gone hours; not even rang to tell me you were ok; and I’m supposed to be fine about it? Chris…I honestly haven’t stopped crying.” “Well, I’m sorry. Let me give you a cuddle.” “I don’t want one.” “Babe, I’m sorry.” “Give me my keys. And get out.” “Sweetheart please.” “Why don’t you go tell Jayne I don’t want you here now. I bet she’ll have something to say…maybe 3-4 hours worth?” Karen rolled over so she couldn’t see him. “Fine. If that’s what you want; then I’ll go. Here’s your keys.” She took them off of him. She was crying a lot more now.
Chris walked towards the door when he heard her. “Babe, I wouldn’t honestly have the guts to talk about you in a nasty way. You mean too much to me. Please; the twitter thing…is quite clearly one of…” He was interrupted by Karen’s phone ringing. “Go on, answer it.” “Hello?” she said. “Hi Karen…” It was Jayne. “Karen, honestly I am sorry. I know you think we were on about you with the twitter thingy,” “Twitter thingy? Don’t you mean tweet?” “Well, yeah. We were on about you, but not in that way.” “What way?” “Your moodiness way.” “Well that’s a way to put it; thanks Jayne.” “Sorry… we talked about you the whole time; but about all the good things.” “And you should know how upset all this has made me; and you and Chris are talking about everything? Jayne seriously?” “Karen…I’m sorry. I understand you are upset with me; neither of us is perfect. I know about you and Chris; and I am happy for you. I know you’ve liked each other for a long time; just don’t make any hasty decisions now because you’re upset please.” “When you say that; you mean finishing it; between me and him… don’t you.” “Yes…me, Emma and Laura have all said you suit each other. Please just forgive him.” “Jayne, I am not being funny, but he just randomly left? I was upset and then that happened… I know you said the thing about twitter wasn’t related to me in that way, but it still really upsets me.” “I am sorry.” “Oh… and you didn’t tell him about when…” “Yes. Sorry.” “Nice one.” “I’ve got to go. I might pop over for a hug later…” “Ok. Bye.”
Karen hung up the phone and looked up at Chris. He was leaning over the back of the sofa. “I love you” he said. “Do you?” "Please let me cuddle you." She started crying again, he was being so kind, but he had just made her feel so bad inside...just like Stephen used to. Chris came sat beside her, scooped her up in his arms, cuddled and comforted her.

She sat on his lap, with her head resting on his neck. She was still crying, silently but he could feel her tears on his top. “You alright baby?” Karen gave a small nod. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to ever hurt you darling. You know that don’t you?” “Yeah…” “Did you mean what you said…?” “What did I say?” “About not wanting us anymore…you didn’t mean it, did you?” “No… but it doesn’t mean every things fine now…” “I wouldn’t expect it too.” There was an awkward silence, and then she said “Am I hurting you sat like this?” “No why? Is it uncomfortable?” “No, no its’ just… I don’t want to hurt you.” “What, like I hurt you?” “Chris… don’t please.” “I don’t think you realise how bad and guilty I feel. I love you, so so so so so so so so so much; and I’ve made you feel this upset in the first…18 hours?!” “I don’t want to talk about it.” “We have to some time…” “Why do we? Can’t we just forget about this...? I mean, I am upset about this; but am I really going to loose you over it? No. Now just let me be annoyed in peace.”
They just sat together; for about 20-25 minutes just in silence, just listening to each other breathing. Chris gently played with Karen’s hair. After another long silence, Karen finally said “What’s the time?” “19:55, why?” “I’ve been stuck in this flat all day; can we go out?” “Where? I thought you didn’t want to?” “I just remembered this little place me and Emma found; please?” “Yeah ok, go and get dressed then…”
She ran upstairs, and found her clothes she was going to wear earlier all over the bed. She quickly put them on, and added some more mascara to her eyes. When she came downstairs, Chris had her jacket held out for her; so he could help her into it. “Thanks…” she said. Chris just smiled at her. She put her shoes on then turned to Chris. “I love you. Please, don’t talk about it anymore.” “And I love you; I won’t don’t worry. I am sorry tho…” Chris was stopped mid-sentence from Karen kissing him gently on the lips. “I know you are babe, but you don’t need to tell me. I love you so much.”
