''Noth..nothing mate, just reckon we should get going? To the gym, eh?''

Rob squints his eyes at me briefly, as if he's trying to work out if I'm hiding something from him or of I was going to say something but then decided against it, before agreeing with me finally.

''Oh yeah, yeah defo, mate. You ready then?'' he says enthusiastically as he bounces up off of my bed at grabs his gear bag and slinging it on to his shoulder.

''Yep..'' I say as I pick myself up from the bed.

''Let me just grab my toiletries bag from the bathr-''

I am cut off mid sentence as I feel a pair of lips being pushed on to mine. Robbie's lips at that. His think, soft and pink lips have clamped down on top of mine in a kiss that sends warmth and tingles throughout every single bit of my body. From the hairs on the back of neck standing on end, to the tingling feeling at the tips of my toes, it feels amazing as this rush of energy flows through me at a fluid and flowing pace, lifting me higher and higher before I am brought back down to earth as he lifts his lips from mine. After a few moments I manage to get my breath back before I ask the obvious question.

''Fucking 'ell Bob..where did that come from, mate?'' I chuckle out quietly as I see Robbie smirk at my question.

''Well, I hadn't got my Gary fix in a few hours and now seemed as perfect an opportunity as any so..'' he shrugs as he says the last bit.

''Besides, I won't be able to resist you when I see you in your trunks in that pool, so I needed a kiss beforehand'' he winks at me before lightly squeezing my bum before heading towards the door.

Looking over his shoulder back at me, he speaks once more.

''Coming, mate? We have to be ready for dinner at 7''

I shake my head and grab my gear bag and toiletry bag from the bathroom and follow him out the door towards the fitness center down the corridor. 'How am I going to last these two weeks after that!?'

''Oh, man..'' I groan out as I climb off of the exercise bike in the gym after doing a 10KM cycle after all the weights and also a long run on the treadmill.

''You alright, Gaz?'' Robbie asks me as he slowly pads back over from the water machine with two cups of ice cold water for us.

''Yeah spot on, just me balls are killing after that bike ride though!'' I chuckle out as I take the plastic glass of clear liquid from Rob's hands.

Robbie almost chokes on his mouthful of water in reaction to what I said. So much so, that I need to give him two good slaps on the back to make sure all the water comes up from his throat and makes sure he is okay.

''Jeepers Bob, you alright?'' I say to him as I place a hand on his shoulder and rub slightly just to reassure him.

''Yeah..yeah I'm sound. Just your 'balls' comment just startled me a little bit, buddy..'' he says softly as he nods his head towards to the door to where the corridor brings us back to the changing so we can get changed in to our swimming trunks for the pool and Jacuzzi.

''Haha sorry mate, but just being honest and I think you know what I mean''

I wink at him cheekily as to which he pouts his lips in return. Rob said he wanted to go and do a few lengths in the pool, but I think I can fairly accurately assume that after his little water hiccup, that he will be joining me in the Jacuzzi for a little dip and relaxation in the hot bubbles.

I pull my sweat soaked sleeveless training top from my sticky skin and discard my shorts and socks along with it. Stripping my black CK briefs from my waist gets met with a wolf whistle from Robbie as my length swings freely for a few moments before it is tucked back in to protection within my blue swimming trunks.

''Easy now mate..you see plenty of it already, Bob'' I wink at him cheekily to which he merely shrugs his shoulders in acceptance.

Rob swiftly pops his black shorts on over his bum before grabbing his towel and follows me towards to the Jacuzzi that is at the end of the swimming pool. I press the 'ON' button and immediately the Jacuzzi roars in to life and the water is bubbling away at a lively rate. I place both mine and Rob's towels on the chair beside the hot tub before carefully swinging one leg over the side and stepping in to the hot, relaxing and soothing water.

''Oh yes..that's..that's better..'' I groan out loudly and slightly hoarsely as I sit in to the corner and stretch my arms out over the sides of the tub as Rob takes a seat on the side next to me.

''Bliss innit, mate?'' Rob says as he throws some water up on to his legs before sliding down the side and settles in beside me in the bubbling water.

''Ideal mate, isn't it?'' I mumble back to him as I lean my head back and relax.

''Gaz..''

What? What was that?

''Gaz mate..''

This time I hear it louder as I peel back my eyelids from my slightly heavy eyes as I feel Rob's hand shake my leg back and forth in an effort to get my attention.

''Hey. I didn't mean to startle you, but you were falling asleep on me, mate'' he says calmly to me.

''Here, pick your head up one tick, mate..'' he says to me.

I do as he says before he slides his arm along the side of the tub allowing me to res my head along his arm, almost like a pillow.

''Now, there you go. Close your eyes for another few minutes if you like. I'll wake you up in about 10 minutes, babe..'' he whispers as he plants a light kiss in my hair just above my temple.

''Mmmhh cheers Bob, you really know how to spoil me, don't you?'' I smile as I lean back on to his arm with my eyes closed and my hands in my lap.

''Anything for you Gaz, you know that, mate'' says softly as he moves his hand towards mine underneath the water and interlocks his hand and mine, resting them on my lap and linking our fingers around the others.

This is perfect. This is where I want to be. Forever and ever, and I'm going to fight to make sure that it stays like this.
