The Immaculate Misconception

Chapter 7

Eve reaches up and touches her eye, still slightly swollen from where Paul had hit her. It was now a yellow-ish, brown color.

"Only a year and a half left." She says, quietly, putting her hand back in her lap.

"If you ever need any help - "

"I know, Chris, and I appreciate it."

Chris nods and keeps his hand in hers. He gazes out the window a minute, watching the small snow flurries that were beginning to fall. He then heard the familiar sound of Eve's camera shutter. Chris looked over and saw Eve looking down at her camera, observing the picture of the snow falling down that she'd just taken. Chris peers over at it.

"That's a good shot." He comments.

Eve smiles, "Thank you." She says before putting her camera away.

"You take pictures of a lot of things." Chris says with a laugh.

"Yeah, I guess I do. Even though I haven't seen much of it, I do think that there's a lot of beauty where we live, and I want to capture as much of it as I can..."

Chris smiles, "I love the way you look at the world."

Eve smiles in return, "You're such a sweet guy, Chris."

"Is that all?"

Eve shakes her head, "Of course not...You're a lot more..." She says, softly.

There's a pause as they get lost in each other's eyes. A small beat later, Eve quickly wraps her arms around Chris' neck and kisses him without hesitation. Chris was surprised, but kissed her back. He snaked an arm aound her and pulled her closer to him, wanting more of her as he kissed her with everything he had.

They come apart, inches away from each other. Chris smirks.

"Well okay then." He says, mocking what Eve had said the other night when they'd kissed.

They laugh, but then shortly grow serious again. Chris' eyes stay glued to hers.

"What?" Eve asks.

Chris shrugs, "You're just really beautiful is all...Even with your bad eye."

Eve laughs and blushes, "Thank you, I guess." She says.

Eve once again looks out in front of her to the view of the top of the hill. There's another small pause before she speaks again.

"You make all of this so much easier."

"Make all of what easier?"

Eve ponders her answer a minute before finally speaking, "Life..." She says.

Chris takes this in a minute.

"You make it all easier for me too." He says, "I have a lot more to look forward to when I come home from tour because of you. You help me go less insane when I come back."

Eve laughs, "I really look forward to seeing you when you come home too."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I've never had a...friend like you."

"Why the pause?"

Eve laughs, "Well I don't know what to call you! Up until last week we were just friends and then you kissed me and now I've just kissed you again, so..."

Chris' eyes darken as and his face turns into a smirk, "Well. I honestly don't care what you call me; so long as I can continue to do this."

Chris leans in and kisses Eve again. Eve immediatley sinks into it, wrapping her arms around Chris' neck and leaning into him more. Chris' hands traced the curves of her perfect hour-glass figure until they reached her perfect ass, which he gave a nice squeeze. Eve gives a small giggle and tugs on one of Chris' lip rings with her teeth. Chris growls, then starts kissing up and down her neck, lightly sucking as he did so. Eve threw her head back to give him more room and moaned.

"Damn, you're sexy." Chris says, his hot breath on her neck arousing Eve even more.

And then her phone dings.

Chris huffs, "Let me guess." He deadpans.

Eve checks her phone and sighs, "My dad wants me home."

"Of course he does."

Eve smirks, "Hey. We can always continue this another time. Probably best too. You said so yourself: it's not as enjoyable in a car."

Chris mirrors her smirk, "I like the way you think."

Chris stops the car a few houses away from Eve's. She still didn't want him dropping her off directly at her house out of fear that Paul would see them. However, because of the weather, Chris dropped her off a little closer to her house.

"I'll call you." Eve says, smiling. She begins to gather her things.

"Okay." Chris says, "Wait." He says, pulling her to him as she was about to leave. Chris kisses her once more; chastley, yet passionatley all the same.

When the come apart, Eve smiles and turns bright red.

"You're cute when you blush." Chris comments.

"Well good, 'cause if that keeps up, it's gonna happen a lot more often."

Chris smiles, "I'll see you later."

Eve nods, then steps out of the car.

Eve walks back into the house. She puts her things away in her room, then walks out.

"Dad?"

Paul walks out of the kitchen, "Hello, Eve."

Eve raises an eyebrow at the way he said that, "Everything alright?"

Paul purses his lips before speaking, "I heard you were talking to one of the Motionless boys; the tall one again. Michael Tonne said he saw the two of you together."

Eve's stomach drops. She'd had to think quick.

"Oh, no, it wasn't anything like that." Eve starts, "I was walking to school and we just happened to cross paths. I...I dropped one of my books, he picked it up and handed it back to me. I thanked him, he said 'you're welcome' and that was that."

"Really?"

"Yes, Dad. He was polite; I was just doing the same in return. Honor thy neighbor, remember? Maybe he isn't as bad as you think. And he has a name, by the way; it's Chris."

"Are you actually defending him?"

"I'm just - "

"You know what? I don't want to have this conversation right now. I need to go prepare for the service on Sunday." Paul says before walking off to his study.

Eve sat in her room, sketching another drawing. It broke her heart to draw it, because it was true...

Be still my love, for we cannot be seen.

Or they will surely take you away from me.

A/N: Okay, lame filler chapter, but Chris and Eve are officially together now. Things between them are going to get interesting, and there's gonna be quite a few twists, but you will enjoy them all once they come together :)

I wish I had an older sibling to give me advice on life and who would just hang out with me. I have a big sister and I love her but she's autistic and not very social...Also, my parents had to "borrow" money from MY bank account to pay rent so life is pretty fun at the moment.

HE texted ME first last night. Woo hoo!

There's a pic of Eve's outfit for ya.

And lastly, but certainly not least, Rest in Peace Chris Holley. I was very saddened to hear of his death. I hope his friends and family are doing okay.

xoxo, Scissorhands.
