It was a Tuesday when Chris had picked Hazel up from school and dropped her off at his mother’s house
She had been wanting to have some one on one time with her granddaughter and so when Hazel had told Chris about one of the girls who had picked on her at school the day before and made her cry, he thought that today would be the perfect day to surprise her with a sleepover at grandma’s house
And when he picked her up from school with her little bag packed with her favorite stuffed animals she couldn’t be parted from and told her she was going to nana’s, Hazel was grinning from ear to ear.
But with an unexpected evening free, Chris drove straight over to the little yellow house on the corner where he hoped his other favorite girl would be.
Chris figured that with Ellie having Tuesday’s off, she’d probably be curled up on her couch reading a book and that’s exactly where he found her when he walked inside her home
It didn’t take Chris long to have his shoes and coat discarded before he crawled onto the couch, Ellie’s book fallen to the floor as their lips couldn’t stop meeting over and over again
But eventually Ellie pulled away to ask why he was here and when she found out that she’d get him all evening, Ellie’s eyes were sparkling as she asked, “So I get you today and on Saturday? I’m going to get spoiled.”
Although Chris never replied
Well not verbally anyway.
Their lips didn’t leave one another's for a long time until Chris got his arms around Ellie and scooped her off up the couch, heading down the hall for her bedroom.
But when Chris gently pushed the door open with his foot and sat Ellie on the bed, her hands came out to rest a little behind her, propping herself up as she watched Chris strip off his tee shirt
And although her attention should have been on that hunky tattooed chest, her eyes were getting wide and something else
She felt a familiar bit of fabric underneath her hand and realized what still was sitting on her bed
With Chris shoving his jeans down his long legs, Ellie quickly tried to push the pink blanket underneath her pillow without him seeing
But failed when Chris asked, “What are you doing?” “Nothing.” “Then why don’t you show me what you were just trying to hide?”
Ellie just tried to brush it off, telling him it was nothing and pulling on his toned waist, attempting to get him on top of her once again
But the firefighter didn’t budge.
“Ellie, remember that I’m a dad so you’re not going to get away with trying to sneak something by me.”
With a sigh, Ellie knew it was true
So she just sat there while he moved the pillow and grabbed the pink blanket, unfolding it to see the dingy material that was filled with some holes, a few sewn together and some just hanging open
That blanket had been with Ellie since she was a baby and she hadn’t been able to part with it since, it always staying in her bed at night
And on more than one occasion when she lived in New York, she had to text her roommate to go hide it for her when her and her boyfriend had ended up on their way back to her place
But Chris was the first one to find her with it, making Ellie’s cheeks turn pink as she tried to brush it off as just an old blanket as she attempted to grab it from his hands
“So do you sleep with it at night?” “Well I mean… yeah but-” “Then why haven’t I ever seen it before?”
And when Ellie twirled a piece of her blonde hair around her fingers, muttering that it was embarrassing, Chris just laughed and retorted, “I think it’s fuckin’ cute.”
And with that admission, their night ended with the two of them curled up in Ellie’s small bed, Chris with Ellie in his arms and Ellie holding her blanket.
