‘Now will
you listen and be careful and take self-defence classes?’ Gabe whispered in my ear.
I nodded, I’d be mad not to, this was bad, really bad. ‘I’d never let anyone
hurt you baby.’ He kissed my neck and I gripped his fingers.

‘God this
is depressing. Let’s put something cheerful on,’ said Lexi. She changed
channels and put on a music video one I opened my gift to find it was a box of
Thornton’s chocolates and opened them and handed them around.

‘No one
touch the Sicilian Lemon one. Have whatever and as many as you like, but those
are mine,’ I instructed.

‘Wow
aggressively possessive over lemon truffles,’ laughed Gabe.

‘Gabe, she
could take down anyone who touched those without permission.’

‘Lexi, do you
have to give away all my secrets?’

‘No go on
Lexi tell me more of them,’ said Gabe.

We spent
the next hour exchanging personal facts about our best friends and laughing and
I felt myself getting more and more sleepy and shut my eyes.

‘Ok baby, I’m
taking you to bed you’re dropping off,’ whispered Gabe in my ear.

‘Hmmm,’ I sighed.
I was comfortable, warm and cosy and I didn’t want to go anywhere, even if I did
my attempts to open my eyes were futile.

Thursday

When I finally managed to wake
up, I found myself in bed, still dressed in my t-shirt. I looked at the clock
and it was 6.50 a.m. How the hell had that happened? I yawned and stretched out,
alone. I got up and went to the bathroom and took my pill and painkillers, raking
my fingers through my hair and examined my stomach again. The bloating was
starting to go down and the bruises had turned to a deep purple colour. I
brushed my teeth vigorously having missed doing them the night before and looked
out of the window and saw he was in the pool.

I padded
down stairs, made myself an instant coffee and headed over to the orangery. He
was powering up and down doing the front crawl and hadn’t seen me. I managed to
lower myself to sit between the shallow end ladder railings, dangling my feet
in the water as I sipped my coffee watching him. He was amazing, his arms were
just so strong as he sliced through the water and those shoulder muscles were
so impressive. I’d finished my coffee when he stopped opposite me, stood and removed
his goggles wiping his eyes and shoving his wet hair back. I studied his side
profile, as if he were not hot enough, seeing him dripping with water was just …
wow and to think I got to have sex with him. I put my fingers in my mouth and
did a shrill wolf whistle. He jumped and turned to look at me, breaking into
one of his knicker wetting smiles and swam over.

‘You’re such
an amazing swimmer Gabe,’ I smiled.

‘Thank you.
Morning baby.’ He leaned on my knees and slid his hands up my t-shirt to my
hips and shook his head, water flying off his hair, showering me.

‘Stop.
Stop
I’m all wet now,’ I shrieked laughing.

‘I like you
wet,’ he said in a low sexy voice.

‘Gabe Austin,
I can hear the sexual intonation in your voice.’

‘You’ve got
your turned on face. You look gorgeous.’ He leaned in and pecked my lips and I
smoothed his wet hair back again and kissed him in return.

‘I am
turned on. Has no one ever told you that you’re
stunningly
hot?’

‘It may
have been mentioned in passing by a few women,’ he shrugged. ‘But I love that
you
think that. How did you sleep?’

‘Obviously
very well as the last thing I remember was eating truffles in the lounge, then
it’s nearly 7 a.m.’

‘You were
completely out of it, but you were talking a lot in your sleep again.’

‘Sexy talk?’

‘Sadly not.
You seemed to be arguing with someone about food. It was nice to see you eating
properly last night.’

‘I was
hungry. I
am
hungry.’

‘Then let’s
go eat. I better go in today or I’m going to get really behind. I’ve got to be
in for ten and won’t be back until nearly six sorry.’ He looked at me
apologetically and I ran a finger over his lips.

‘I’ll miss
having you around.’

‘I’ll miss
you too baby, but you’ll have a good time with Lexi. Are you going to do some
studying as well?’

‘Studying?’
I laughed, like it was a dirty word. ‘We’re off sick, what better excuse to do
nothing? So no, no studying today, I need some fun.’

‘Will you
wait here while I quickly shower and change?’

‘What I
can’t come and see my gorgeous boyfriend naked and showering? I was thinking as
you wet me, maybe I could make you wet, in my mouth.’

‘Mia Page you’re
so coming in my shower,’ he grinned.

‘I think you’ll
be the one coming in your shower,’ I responded with a smile. He pulled himself
out of the pool without using the ladder far too easily and helped me stand,
holding my hand as we walked over to the pool shower room.

It was
nearly eight by the time we got back to the kitchen and he couldn’t take the
smile off his face.

‘Why are
you so smiley today?’ I asked.

‘Well we’ve
set a new record that you haven’t cried for over 18 hours, you’re laughing and
eating again, you’re staying here with me and I just had a fantastic morning
blow job. Why wouldn’t I be smiling?’ he replied planting a kiss on my
forehead.

‘Sorry to
burst the bubble, but you missed a set of tears with Lexi in the lounge last
night.’

‘If I didn’t
see them, they didn’t happen,’ he said firmly. ‘Ok I fancy an cheese and
mushroom omelette, how about you?’

‘Sounds
good. Can I watch?’ He lifted me to my counter top position and made mine first
and I ate it sitting where I was, as I watched him make another. He leaned back
on the island eating his, just smiling at me and I blushed and looked down at
my feet. ‘As I’ll be here for a few more days Gabe, you better show me how the fancy
coffee machine works.’

He helped
me down and stood behind me and reached around dropping a capsule in it and
pressed some buttons. His breath on my neck and physical proximity was driving
me crazy. As soon as he’d finished and the coffee started to flow, I turned
around, pushed him back against the island and tiptoed up and kissed him vigorously,
my hands running everywhere I could touch. He slid his hands into my t-shirt
and under my knickers to hold my bare bottom as we attacked each other’s
mouths. I suddenly pulled away gasping as I felt his erection pulsating on my
stomach.

‘Shit sorry
Gabe, that’s not fair to you,’ I uttered. He ran the back of his hand over his
mouth, he was oozing sex and lust from every pore, as was I.

‘You don’t
see me complaining do you?’

‘God. This
is so frustrating,’ I sighed. ‘I want you so badly, I miss having you inside me.’

‘I miss
being there, but it’s not forever. Maybe in a couple of days we can try?’ he
suggested. I looked at him with a face of pissed off resignation and he walked
over and put his arms around me.

‘I’ve stopped
bleeding,’ I mumbled.

‘So we’ll
have dinner tonight and I’ll take you to bed and see if I can make you come.’

‘I think
you could make me come by just kissing me Gabe.’

‘But I plan
on doing it many other ways to help with your recovery.’

‘Go on then,
twist my arm, man the things I have to do to keep you happy,’ I teased. He
smiled and kissed me again.

‘I’d like
to invite Doug over Friday night. I thought we could do Movies and pizza as you
missed it on Tuesday.’

‘Great.’

‘And I’d
like to take you out on a date Saturday night if you feel up to it?’

‘Our second
date night? I’d love that.’

‘Great. So
other than not studying what are you and Lexi planning on doing today?’

‘I’m happy
watching more movies, is it easy to set up in the cinema?’

‘Sure if
you go on my computer I have a movies folder, copy the ones you want to the
cinema folder. It’s all networked up, don’t ask me how, but when you use the
remote downstairs you’ll see whatever you put in the folder.’

‘O my god,’
I exclaimed in horror. ‘The footage of us having sex on your car wasn’t still in
there was it? Doug and Lexi were in there the other night.’

‘No, I
moved that into my own personal locked folder called Mia, which I’m very much looking
forward to adding to,’ he rubbed his nose on mine and kissed my forehead and
held me tightly.

‘Hmmm me
too.’

‘I got you lots
of chocolate and microwave popcorn, they’re in the cupboard on the right of the
plate rack. You’ve more mini B&J’s in the freezer and there’s loads of
stuff if you want to make a sandwich. There’s a toasted sandwich machine in one
of the cupboards next to the sink. I’d prefer you don’t attempt to cook
anything. I’d like to find the house in one piece and smoke free when I get
back.’

‘Very funny.
Thanks for thinking of us.’

‘Shit it’s
past nine. I need to go and get my books and head in. God I’d so much rather be
here with you.’

‘Me too,’ I
sighed as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, gently this time. ‘I
love you, now go study. I’ll look forward to seeing you when you get home.’

‘You said that
like we’re living together.’


Go
.’
I smacked his bottom and he kissed me quickly and left the kitchen. I enjoyed
my coffee standing there and sighed when I heard him leave. Had we really only
been together for three weeks? It seemed longer, especially given how much I
hated being apart from him already. I followed his instructions with the coffee
machine and made a fresh latte and headed upstairs to give it to Lexi and
realised I’d no idea which bedroom she was in, or which floor. ‘LEX?’ I
shouted. I heard mumbling from the back bedroom and headed down and knocked the
door. ‘I’ve made you a coffee, can I come in?’

‘Uh huh,’
she groaned and I snuck in.

‘I made you
a latte with some vanilla syrup, it’s nearly as good as Starbucks,’ I smiled as
she sat up and I handed it over.

‘I could so
get used to living here Mia,’ she said, her eyes wide in awe. I laughed. Lexi’d
always been impressed by people who had money, other than her education fees, she’d
never seen any as her mum drank it all away. ‘I mean it’s a frigging tempura memory
foam mattress.
In the spare room
or should I say one of the spare rooms,’
she exclaimed and I burst out laughing and she looked at me surprised.

‘I think
you’ll find it’s a Tempur mattress Lexi, not a
tempura
mattress.’

‘So what’s
a tempura mattress? I can’t imagine it could be any better than this one, I’ve
slept like a log on it.’

‘There’s no
such thing as a tempura mattress, tempura is a style of Japanese cooking, where
they coat vegetables in batter and deep fry them.’

‘Wow yeah,’
she laughed. ‘I guess a tempura mattress wouldn’t be nearly as comfy then, but
pretty damn handy if you needed a snack in the night. Do they tempura
chocolate? I’d love to try a deep fried chocolate bar.’

‘I think
people do that all the time, but it’s not a Japanese speciality I don’t think.
We’ll have to ask mum to deep fry some chocolate for you when we go home so you
can try it. So, how do you fancy us hanging out in the cinema today?’ I asked.

‘Hell yeah.
I’m thinking after our little Neo reference yesterday that it’d be cool to do
the trilogy on the big screen.’

‘Excellent,’
I nodded.

‘Nice Keanu
Bill and Ted shoe in. I love that film.’

‘He was so
much cooler in The Matrix though. “I know Kung Fu”’

‘God yes
that training fight scene with Morpheus was awesome. I think he came into his
own in Speed though.’

‘Hmmm he
was seriously hot in that, “Mister, I’m already there”’ I nodded.

‘O Matrix
trilogy we’re on. Come on, shift off my batter bed and let me get freshened up,
see you in the basement. There’s a phrase I never thought I’d say,’ she
chuckled.

While Lexi
had a shower I opened up Gabe’s computer and copied the movies across and then
browsed his collection. He’d loads and pretty much all my taste. I went and had
a shower myself, washed my hair and changed into some sexy underwear, my Yoga
hipsters and tightly fitted black jumper, failing miserably to bend over far
enough to pull on a pair of socks so I gave up. I headed down and rummaged in
the cupboards, grabbed some chocolate and smiled when I found a large bottle of
full fat coke in the fridge. I grabbed the two blankets from the lounge and
settled into the double chair on the front row, grinning to myself remembering
the last time I’d been down here.

‘What you smiling
about?’ she asked as she toddled in.

‘You so
don’t want to know Lex. Right coke and chocolate’s on your right and I know
where the popcorn is for later. We can do toasted sandwiches for lunch.’

‘Sod toasties
I want pizza and Ben & Jerry’s, we’ve both been through ordeals this week.’

‘I know a
place that can deliver if I can work out how to open the gate.’

‘Then work
it out. If we order after this one, we can eat during Revolutions and have
popcorn with Reloaded.’

‘I like
your style, but I’m not sure I can manage pizza, ice cream
and
popcorn
Lex.’

‘Ok I guess
we can have the mini ice cream Gabe got if we need it.’

‘Are you ok
if I recline us and put on the heated seat?’

‘It has a
heated seat?’ she exclaimed.

‘Yes, didn’t
you find that when you were here the other night?’

‘No, too tipsy
to explore. Recline and heat me up baby,’ she winked at me as she used Gabe’s
pet name for me. I shook my head and adjusted the seats, dimmed the lights and worked
out the gates then pressed play. We were an hour in when the film froze and the
postman’s face appeared on screen. ‘What the hell?’ she said looking startled.

‘Cool isn’t
it?’ I said as I got up and headed up to get the door. The postman handed me a
parcel and some letters. I shut the door, putting the letters on the hall table
and realised the parcel was for me, it was one of Gabe’s presents and was really
nicely gift wrapped. I went up and put it on his bedside table and went back
down to find an impatient Lexi waiting for me.
