Always You (21 page)

"Oh Err I well I...." I started stuttering, ok how do I tell my parents this?

Clay stepped forwards, "We had a problem while you were away, maybe you should sit down" he said pulling me down onto the couch next to him.

My parents sat down shocked and scared, Clay explained the whole thing to them, Blake, what the police had said, the hospital. Brian looked murderously angry and jumped out of his chair, "That fucking asshole! I spoke to him, I thought he was a good kid, wait until I see him I'm gonna kill him" he spat. I just watched him with wide eyes I'd never ever heard him swear in all the time I'd known him, Clay stood up and put his hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't worry about it, he won't hurt her again I promise" he said sincerely, I winced slightly at the threat in his voice, I knew that if Blake ever came near me again Clay would have trouble controlling his temper and I prayed that would never happen. I never wanted to think of Clay getting hurt ever.

"So aside from the whole hot guy that turns out to be a psycho and the broken arm, did we miss anything?" my Mom joked with a glint in her eye.

Clay grinned and I shook my head quickly, "No Mom nothing" I said shooting Clay a quick glance, he looked a little hurt.

"Mom do you think I would be able to go to Vegas this weekend with some of the guys from school? All my new friends are going and I thought it would be really great to get to know them better, Clay will be there too" I said smiling at Clay who now looked like he understood why I didn't tell them about us.

"Vegas? No way Riley, I'm sorry but no" my Mom said shaking her head violently. I looked at Brian, ok time to use the soft stepfather routine.

"It's just that I don't know any of them properly and I've been finding it a bit hard to fit in and make new friends and I just thought that when they asked me to go that I would be able to feel part of the group that's all" I said quietly looking at Brian with my puppy dog face, he looked at my Mom with a pleading expression.

I know its bad to use the old heart strings but this is Vegas come on, a whole weekend alone with Clay! Mom sighed, "You're going Clay?" she asked looking at Clay who looked like he was having a hard time not laughing at my little speech.p>

"Well I haven't spoken to my parents yet but I think they'll say yes" he said honestly, and I believed him, they trusted him completely because he was completely trustworthy.

She sighed again and looked at Brian who gave her a small nod, "Ok well IF Clay is going then you can go but only if Clay's going" she said sternly.

I jumped up and kissed them both, "Thank you! Thank you so much" I cried jumping up and down excitedly.

"Don't get too excited I might not be allowed yet" Clay said with a smile but I could tell that he thought the same as me we would definitely be going. "Well I'd better go ask them then I guess" Clay said giving me a wink.

"Clay, thank you for looking after Riley this weekend, you really are a good lad" Brian said holding out his hand to shake Clay's, Clay shook his hand and they did the typical man shake/hug thing.

Clay came over after dinner, he'd spoken to his parents and as expected they had agreed to the trip, he had already text Ben to get me a fake id, he already had one. I was currently laying on my stomach doing my homework on my bed. As soon as he shut the door to my room he grinned "So then Riley bear, lets see this sore spot you want me to kiss" he said rubbing his hands over my ass.

I giggled and pushed him away and handed him the leaflet I was given at the clinic about being on the pill. "I have homework to do boyfriend, here you can read this" I said turning back to my English essay.

He laid on the bed next to me and bless him he read the leaflet from cover to cover, once he was done he rolled onto his side and patiently played with a lock of my hair silently while I scribbled my essay. When I was done half an hour later I rolled onto my side too facing him, I smiled, he really was so sweet, what 18 year old boy would lay there on a bed with their girlfriend, patiently waiting while she finished her homework?

I kissed him tenderly, when I pulled away he looked at me thoughtfully, I touched his face smoothing his frown lines away with my finger, he smiled a small smile. "I was a little worried when you didn't tell your parents about us but then I realised that if they knew they wouldn't let me take you to Vegas" Clay admitted.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and rolled onto my back pulling him on top of me, "I know I saw your face, I'm sorry" I said kissing his chin and nibbling on it gently.

"Hmm your forgiven" he said kissing me and running his hands down my whole body making me squirm with desire.

"I am so looking forward to this weekend" he said kissing me again, hell yeah me too, a whole weekend with Clay in a hotel and I planned on not wasting a second of it. I pulled his t-shirt off over his head and ran my hands over his incredible body, he kissed down my neck and pushed my top off over my head kissing my stomach and breasts, just then there was a knocking at the door.

I gasped and we quickly threw on our tops and tried to lay down innocently, "Err yeah come in" I said pretending to be doing my homework.

My Mom stepped in and gave us both a smirk, I blushed and Clay hid a laugh by turning it into a cough, "Finally huh?" was all she said looking between the two of us.

I know what to do, I swallowed "Finally?" I asked pretending to not know what she was talking about even though she made it glaringly obvious. She nodded and gave another smirk, ok this is starting to freak me out, why is she not telling us this was stupid and shouting at Clay to get off of my bed?

"Yeah, finally, I just wanted to say I think it's great and I'm really pleased for the two of you" she said giving me a wink. Ok time for the bad acting to come out!

"Mom seriously, I don't know what your talking about, Clay's just helping me with my homework and then we're gonna watch a movie" I said. I looked at Clay who just looked a mixture between amused and confused, it was actually a really good look for him, it made him look really hot. Ok focus on the Mom situation I told myself dragging my eyes away from Clay.

"Right" she said sarcastically shaking her head, her eyes fell on something on the bed and she stepped forward to pick it up.

I noticed a split second too late that it was the leaflet I'd given to Clay. Shit! She scanned the front. "You're on the pill Riley?" she asked, ok game over no more lies, I nodded and bit my lip.

"Yeah Mom I went today" I said honestly, I sat up and Clay did the same but I refused to look at him, I kept my gaze on my Mom's face who actually was starting to tear up. "Mom? You ok?" I asked quietly, she sat on the bed in front of me and pulled me into a hug, ok shit this is just getting weird, why the hell is she crying?

"I always thought I would come with you for this, I was waiting until you were ready and then you know, I thought you would come to me, I wouldn't have been mad" she said in a small voice, ok really wasn't expecting that. "I know that you wouldn't but I didn't need anyone with me I was fine" I said trying to reassure her. I glanced over at Clay who now looked really uncomfortable and confused and this too was a good look for him.

My Mom pulled back to look at me, "I am so proud of you, this is really responsible" she said cupping my cheek, she reached over and grabbed Clay's hand "You too Clay" she said giving him a smile. "I think it's best we don't tell your stepfather about this until after Vegas, I don't think he'd like the idea of you two together alone like that" she said shaking her head frowning at the thought. "Oh but Clay you should tell your Mom, Linda will be so pleased" she said bouncing on the bed slightly, I smiled uncomfortably, ok what the hell? My mom knew we were together and didn't care, well actually she did care, she was pleased about it?

"Ok err Mom how did you know?" I asked looking at Clay who was staring at me like he wanted to jump me right now, it sent tingles down my body and my mouth started to water at the thought of kissing him.

"How did I know? Well I've always known how Clay felt" she said chuckling and looking at him with a wink. "It was so obvious, sorry Clay hon but it really was" she said making him roll his eyes and smile. "But you had no idea" she said turning back to me, "I told you time and time again you two would end up together and you always just laughed, and as soon as I saw you walk in the door together I could tell by the way you were looking at each other" she said beaming.

I smiled and chuckled again, "Well, I'll let you two get back to err what you were doing before I interrupted" she said standing up and giving me a wink. When Clay turned and looked at me she pointed at him behind his back, fanned her face and mouthed 'SO HOT' to me making me giggle again, I rolled my eyes and nodded making her laugh. "Clay will you be staying over tonight?" she asked at the door.

"Oh, err would that be ok with you?" he said looking at her hopefully.

"Of course, don't forget to tell your Mom about you two, she really will be pleased" she said beaming again and shutting the door behind her.

Clay and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Ok was not expecting that" I said still laughing.

"Hmm so where were we before we were interrupted?" he asked seductively. I grinned and pulled my top over my head and reached out to do the same to his, I grabbed him round the neck and laid on the bed pulling him on top of me.

"Right about here I think" I said giggling. He chuckled and went straight back to kissing my stomach hungrily as if he hadn't kissed me for weeks.

He unbuttoned my trousers and started to pull them down "Oh wait Clay wait" I cried reaching my fingers into my pocket, excitement bubbling over in my stomach and other places, but I couldn't get my hand in because of the cast.

"Here let me get that" he said pulling my fingers out carefully and slipping his hand into my pocket, he frowned slightly as he obviously wrapped his hand around what was in there and pulled it out.

It was a strip of condoms, the doctor had given them to me to 'use in the meantime' she had said. I smiled and pulled his face to mine, oh God finally we could make love! He kissed me back but he didn't seem as into it as before. "What's wrong Clay?" I asked quietly, he was still just holding the condoms staring at me weirdly.

"Nothings wrong Riley bear it's just, I don't want to do this now, I thought we agreed I could make it special for you" he said frowning slightly.

"It will be special Clay it'll be our first time" I said kissing him again, he kissed me back but it was only so he didn't hurt my feelings.

"Ok well I know that will be special for that reason, I just don't want us to look back on this in ten years time and wish that your parents weren't down the hall" he said honestly brushing my hair out of my face. I sighed I knew he was right, but the thought of having him now and not having to wait was almost too tempting.

"Ok fine but soon I'm gonna have you begging for me" I said with a wicked smile.

"No doubt about it my beautiful girl" he said putting the condoms into his pocket and kissing me again slipping his tongue in my mouth making my body burn.

"I'm not opposed to a little foreplay" he said kissing down my neck again.

"How about a lot of foreplay?" I asked breathlessly as he unclasped my bra and pulled it off with his teeth.

"Deal" he said laughing.

I woke in the morning to Clay sitting on the edge of the bed with a tray in his hands. I smiled at him, he was dressed and ready for school already. "Hey you" I said rubbing my eyes and stretching my tight muscles.

"Hey my beautiful girl, I made you breakfast in bed today" he said with a heart stopping smile. He made me breakfast in bed? That boy is so sweet! He handed me the tray, "I couldn't make pancakes so I had to go for something easier" he said with a sheepish grin.

I looked at the tray, there was my favourite chocolate spread on toast, and a bowl of fresh fruit salad. He had picked me a yellow tulip from his garden and put it in a glass of water. I giggled, my heart skipped a beat, is he really mine to keep? I don't understand how someone as amazing as Clay could fall in love with me, he is so out of my league.

"Thank you Clay this is incredible, I love you" I said honestly, he moved to sit nest to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"I love you more" he said kissing my cheek.

My stomach growled so I picked up a piece of the toast and started munching on it, suddenly I froze. Clay hated chocolate spread, he couldn't even stand the smell of it. Did this mean he wasn't gonna come anywhere near me today? I looked at him horrified at the thought, he stiffened looking concerned.

"Did I make it wrong?" he asked looking at it and unconsciously turning his nose up at it.

I shook my head "No Clay its great but I wish you hadn't made this, now you're not gonna be able to kiss me" I whined with a sulky expression.

He laughed and pulled me and kissed me tenderly, he dipped his finger in the chocolate spread and ate it making a face. "I would eat a whole jar of that disgusting stuff for you, there is nothing in the world that could stop me from kissing you Riley bear" he said tracing the back of his hand across my cheek. I sighed contentedly and went back to eating, he is so damn adorable.

At school that day everyone was buzzing about our trip to Vegas. Everyone had checked with their parents and was allowed to go so in total there would be 10 of us/ Me and Clay, Rachel and Reece, Ben, Tom and Craig, Claire who was Ben's girlfriend, and Jenna and Beth who were both really nice.

Ben had brought his camera and was going to get some fake id's made for Jenna, me and Rachel who didn't have them, this was gonna be awesome. Tom was borrowing a 13 seater minibus from his brothers friend and we were planning on leaving early Saturday morning, the drive would take 6 hours.

On the way to class after lunch my phone beeped, I had a message. I opened it to see it was from Blake. Oh Shit what is he gonna want? Clay was off talking to his friends so I quickly read it,
