"Hey, mom. How's Larissa doing?"
"Well 'hello' to you too," Gwynne couldn't help but chuckle.
"Sorry, mom. How are you?"
"It's ok, Christopher. She's fine. Still," she teased.
"Sorry. I've been driving you crazy, haven't I?"
"Maybe a little," his mother joked. "I know it's well-meaning. So what's up?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAzfGiXS1QZm
"Just calling to check-in," he paused. "And to say we're finishing up early out here. I'll be home Sunday night!"
"Oh, that's wonderful, Christopher! Are you going to surprise Larissa?"246Please respect copyright.PENANAMSM5CmYjsz
"Oh, I'm going to surprise her alright. Not only am I not telling her I'll be home early, I'm going to surprise her with a trip to her parents for Christmas."
"Oh my gosh, she will love that! She'll be shocked."
"I know! It's going to be great!"
"When was the last time she was able to visit them?"
"I think she's only been able to go once since she's moved here."
"Aw. Well, we'll miss you here, of course, but that's very sweet of you, Christopher."
"Thanks, mom. Do you know if Larissa is planning on going to your house for dinner Sunday?"
"I think so, yes. Why? What time are you getting in?"
"I'm supposed to arrive in LAX at 1:30. Depending on how traffic is, I was going to head home and drop my stuff off and shower real quick, then head over to your house."
"Sounds good, hon. We'll see you Sunday."

Chris couldn't erase the stupid smile from his face as he rang his parents' doorbell Sunday afternoon. He heard footsteps approaching from inside several seconds later.
"Oh, come in," Gwynne made sure not to say his name as she let Chris in. His goofy expression was mirrored in his mother's face.
"I hope you guys don't mind that someone dropped by," his mother announced as they entered the living room. His father and Larissa were engaged in conversation, not paying any attention to them until his mother spoke. The look on Larissa's face when she finally turned her gaze towards him was priceless.
"Chris!" she jumped out of her chair and practically ran towards him.
"Hey, baby!" Chris greeted as Larissa threw her arms around his neck. They hugged each other for a few seconds as his parents looked on.
"Did you just get home?" Larissa finally pulled away.
"Yah, a couple of hours ago. I ran home to shower first."
Larissa's eyes twinkled as she shook her head. "You big sneak," she smiled and shoved him playfully in the shoulder as she sat on the arm of the chair next to him.
"I wanted to surprise you."
"You always want to surprise me," she rolled her eyes slightly. They continued catching up for several minutes until they realized both of Chris' parents had left the room. Chris wrapped his arms around Larissa's waist and pulled her down in his lap. She cried out, caught by surprise. He kissed gently up her neck, making his way to her ear lobe.
"I missed you."
"Don't do that until we get home," she spoke quietly.
"Then let's go," he growled in her ear. Chris' hands found their way to soft skin underneath the edge of Larissa's sweater.
"Christopher!" she hissed. He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, alright," he withdrew his hands in surrender.
"Is that all you think about while you're gone?"
"No. Well, not all," he joked.
"You're a pig," Larissa shoved him in the shoulder again, but couldn't hide the smirk on her face.
"You know I'm kidding, right?" Chris tried to get more serious.
"Chris," she gave him "the look". "If I knew you only wanted me for my body, I wouldn't put up with you," she teased. Chris grabbed his chest and feigned hurt.
"Ouch. Well, just so you know, I miss all of you when I'm gone, not just your body."
"I know. Now stop sticking your foot in your mouth and go get some real food to eat."

"Now, where were we?" Chris asked as he locked their apartment door behind them, leaning against it with a devious look on his face.
"I believe you were sitting in the chair," Larissa took him by the shoulders and guided him over to the sole chair in the living room. "And I was right here," she sat down hard on his lap, punishing him for the shenanigans he tried to pull at his parents' house. Chris let out an "ooph!"
Their hands immediately began roaming each other's bodies. Chris longed to touch her bare skin. It wasn't long before there was a pile of clothing lying next to the chair.
He tried to reign in his desire, wanting it to last longer than 5 minutes. Not that they couldn't go again, but still. Chris wanted to make it last.246Please respect copyright.PENANAh5zhc1HQt8
He couldn't get enough of her supple skin; soft, yet firm. They spent a long time just kissing and caressing each other without going further. Not that he wasn't thoroughly enjoying his self, but Chris was more than happy to oblige when Larissa asked him to take her to the bedroom.
