Your POV

You lay awake in your bed. You hadn't slept in a few nights. Not since what had happened with Chris. It was only by chance you had met him after agreeing to do an interview with him for your best and oldest friend. Since doing that interview, Chris always seemed to pop up wherever you were. You two had started something but you weren't sure what, after all Chris told you he didn't do romance and was a dominant. You keep replaying the last time you were with him, it was like a broken record that refused to stop playing in your head.

Flashback

You had woken up after your long flight back home, you'd booked a secret trip to go and visit your mum for bit before you started your new job which you were successful in getting after sending the company a copy of your CV and doing an application and then got offered an interview. Chris wasn't pleased when he found out you planned a trip away without telling him. Of course in true Chris style, he turned up out of the blue to visit you.

Once you'd woken up, you found Chris downstairs in the lounge. He has some classical music playing in the background as he drinks a whisky. Your not sure if that is his first drink or not, to be honest you hardly ever saw Chris drink. He wasn't keen on you drinking too excessively. You hesitate, watching him from where you stood quietly in the hallway, watching him. He seemed so deep in his thoughts. All you really wanted to do was hold him but Chris hated anyone touching him. You take note of how Chris looked sad, lost and maybe even achingly lonely. You cautiously moved from your spot and walked slowly over to him, he soon caught sight of you.

"Hey, you should be asleep" Chris said as you approached him

"So should you" You said scolding him

"Are you scolding me miss Y/L/N ?" Chris asked amused

You both talked for a bit before you decided to have fun which resulted in Chris chasing you around his pent house. It resulted in you asking Chris to show you how bad things could or would get if he ever wanted to punish you badly. He took you to another room and well it was pretty bad. You decided that you couldn't do it and that you weren't what Chris wanted. Chris of course tried to convince you otherwise but failed.

"I've fallen in love with you" You said finally admitting your feelings towards him. Chris looked at you in shock.

"No Y/N you can't love me" He told you.

He left you alone to give you some space but all you did was get dressed. You left Chris with all the gifts he had bought for you while you were with him.

End of Flashback

You are brought out of your thoughts when someone rings the bell to your apartment. You go and open the door to see who it is. Stood there is a young delivery boy.

"Miss Y/N Y/L/N ?" he asks

"Yes that's me" You say giving him confirmation.

"These are for you" He says as he carefully hands you a bouquet of white roses. Your favorite flowers.

You take the flowers and set them on the counter to look at the card that was with the flowers. The card read.

"Good luck today with your new job. Chris xx"

You think about throwing the flowers in the bin but then look at them again. They look elegant and very expensive. You put the flowers in a vase with water before you leave for work.

-1 Week Later-

You had just finished work for the day. Instead of going home, you headed over to a local art gallery hall where one of your friend's was hosting a party to celebrate his recent works of art. You gladly accept a glass of champagne and begin to look around the place. Your friend, had done well for himself and was clearly very talented. You had seen him and spoken to him a little, he couldn't talk much since he had a lot of other, more important people to speak with.

You begin to look around and walk around the gallery again. As you do this, you notice people keep looking at you and pointing at you. Your confused but your confusion doesn't last for long. You step into another part of the gallery only to see six huge black and white portraits of you hung up on the wall. You stare at them in utter shock. When had he taken any of these photos ? He'd never asked, not that you can remember him asking to take them or ever mention taking them.

You listen as your friend's manager tells him that someone has bought all six of your portraits. Who the hell would want all six portraits of you ? You begin to wonder to yourself. You find yourself alone once again as your friend walks off with his manager. You look around before turning around and seeing Chris standing there behind you.

"Y/N" Chris says as he walks towards you but you just take a few steps back.

"It was you wasn't it ? Your the person who bought all the portraits of me" You say

"I don't like strangers looking at you or gawking at you" Chris tells you

"What are you doing here Chris ?" You ask him

"I came here for you" He states like its the most obvious thing

"Urgh" You sigh and try to turn away but before you can, Chris gently grabs your arms.

"Please, have dinner with me ? I've never wanted....I'm not good at this kind of thing" Chris says almost pleadingly.

"Okay fine I will have dinner with you but only because I'm hungry. Wait here, I have to go and say goodbye" You tell him.

You see a glimmer of hope in Chris' eyes and a small smile appears on his face.

You wonder off to find your friend and say your goodbyes to him. Once you've done that, you head back to Chris. He gently puts his arm on the bottom of your back as he guides you out of the art gallery. Once outside, you begin to walk in the direction that Chris is guiding you too.

Chris looks around him and your current surroundings. Suddenly he gently pulls you into a quiet alley way and holds you against the wall before he smashes his lips onto yours. This takes you by surprise. You kiss back at first for a little bit before pulling away.

"Chris I can't" You say panting to catch your breath.

"Let's go have dinner and talk" Chris says as he takes your hand.

Once at the restaurant and seated, Chris orders drinks and food for you both.

"Let's talk" You say to Chris once the waiter leaves

"I want you back" Chris says getting straight to the point.

"Chris we can't not after-" You begin but Chris cuts you off

"I want to forget all that and try again but this time no contract or punishments" Chris says.

Moments later the waiter arrives with your two wine glasses and bottle of wine that Chris ordered for you both.

"But all that stuff, you said you need it" You point out to him

"I need and want you more" Chris says as he finishes pouring some wine into your glass and begins to fill his own.

You watch him while thinking things over in your head.

"What do you want ?" Chris asks you

"No contract, no rules, no harsh punishments and no secrets" you tell him

The waiter arrives with your food and sets it down on the table carefully.

"Okay, anything else ?" Chris asks you

"I think we should take things slowly this time" you add.

"Okay I'm fine with all of that" Chris smiled at you

After your meal, Chris had his driver drop you off at your apartment. Before you could walk up the stairs to your front door, Chris went to the boot of the car to retrieve something.

"For you" Chris said as he handed you the laptop he had given to you before with a brand new phone and a few other things.

"Chris I can't" You start to say but Chris cuts you off

"No strings attached" Chris smiles before he carefully places the items in your hands.

Chris walks you upstairs to your front door. Before you open the door, you turn around and pull Chris in close to you. You kiss him. He kisses you back just as eager.

"This is spiky, I like it" You smile as you gently caress his facial hair that was growing.

"I'll call you tomorrow" Chris smiled as he held your front door open for you once you'd unlocked it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's now been a few weeks since you had gotten back together with Chris. The whole taking things slow didn't last long, you couldn't keep your hands off Chris. Chris had asked you to move into his pent house with him which you accepted. One night when you'd woken up from a sleep, you couldn't get back into the deep sleep. You put on one of Chris' button up shirts and walked out onto the balcony for some air. You were deep in thought, just thinking about things. Suddenly Chris started calling out in his sleep like he was having a nightmare. You quickly ran back inside and right to him.

"Hey, hey hey hey, it's okay, I'm here" You whisper to him

Chris opens his eyes and looks at you.

"I want you to be my wife" Chris said

"What ?" You asked him stunned not sure if you'd heard him right.

"I want you to marry me" Chris said as he pulled you in close to him.

The next day, you'd come home from work but the minute you stepped inside Chris' penthouse you knew something was up. The hall was covered with rose petals in huge love heart shapes.

"Chris ?" You call out.

"Ahh Miss Y/L/N perfect timing" Chris said as he came up behind you.

"What's going on ?" You ask gesturing to the hearts on the floor

"I have a surprise for you" Chris said before he covered your eyes with his hand.

He gently guided you carefully to wherever in the apartment he wanted you.

"Ready ?" Chris asks you can almost sense the smile on his face

"Yes, I mean I guess I am" you reply nervously

"No need to be nervous" Chris reassures you

After that, Chris removes his hand that was covering your eyes. You instantly recognize the room to be your shared bedroom. You looked around in confusion until your eyes landed on the bed. More rose petals covered the bed only instead of them being in a heart shape, they where written in words

"Will You Marry Me ?"

You stare at it for a moment unsure if you are dreaming or not. You turn around, expecting to see Chris standing there behind you but instead, he was down on one bended knee holding a small velvet box which was holding a very expensive looking silver diamond engagement ring.

"Y/N, I love you so much and I was so glad when you agreed to give us.....me another chance. Now I can't imagine my life without you. I know I mentioned wanting you to be my wife in my sleep and you thought I was dreaming but I wasn't and as you can see I'm serious. Will you do me the greatest honor and marry me ? Be my wife and share my life, this life with me ?" Chris asked.

"Chris, I-" You begin speechless.

"Are you trying to say no ?" Chris asked, hurt clear in his voice.

"No, I'm saying....YES !" You exclaim happily

"Sorry, I was just shocked and speechless" You tell him

Chris smiles and stands up. Once he is standing up, he carefully places the ring on your engagement finger. You both smile at each other before locking your lips together.
