I kept trying to hid that I had joint problems, I'd already told Chris all about it, but I didn't want him to worry about men now that we had a life to build. I shook my head as he suggested that I go sit down. "I don't want to. It's fine. Completely normal pain, I promise." I said, watching as he washed his plate and turned back to putting the rest of the stuff away. "Did you like the pancakes?" I asked, as he laced his fingers through mine, pulling me toward the bedroom. I sighed and followed him without much resistance, knowing I should sit down.<br/>I sat on the bed and pulled out my laptop, logging on to my email and sending my mom an update email. "Babe?" I called as he had just disappeared into the bathroom. "Want to say something to my family?" I asked, knowing that my younger sister, Jess, would love to hear something about him. "This is for my whole family mind you, nothing to out there, right love?" I said more than asked. I opened another window and started an email to Jess.<br/>I told her about how Chris was more than I could have ever asked for, the fact that he remember the little things and that I missed her and was very sorry that I couldn't be there for her birthday party.<br/>"Love, would you be up for a skype call tomorrow? I really would like to talk to Jess. It would make her birthday." I knew I was rambling, but I couldn't help it. I was nervous, and I ramble when I get nervous. I laughed when he said something about getting a job, almost falling off the bed as he added the ho ho ho.<br/>I rolled over my shoulder kneeling on the bed, and stretching up, my shirt rising up a bit above my jeans. I yawned, covering my mouth with a hand and shaking my head when I was done. I grabbed my hairbrush and eyeliner, walking into the bathroom to the first sink and sitting up on the counter with my left foot under my right knee. I quickly brushed my hair, putting in the side part I always thought looked best with my hair, and applied the eyeliner carefully.<br/>Once I was done, I turned to Chris. "What do ya think?" I asked, wondering what he would say or do. We're we 11 hours away, I would have had a very good guess but as he was right here, I found it strange that I was still slightly nervous. I touched his shaven face and grinned, leaning over and kissing his smooth good smelling cheek. "Ready yet, love?" I asked, batting my eyelashes at him and hopping off the counter.
