I awake to the sound of the alarm on my mobile going off. Through my heavy eyes and early morning daze I reach other and press the buttons on my phone until the noise stops. I was surposed to have a lecture on Chaplin today but after last night I was undecided if I had enough energy to make it through the day. I roll over to find that Robert isn't lying next to me. This was enough to snap me out of my tired daze.
“Where the hell is he?”
I slowly get out of bed and grab an oversized t shirt and a pair of shorts and go look to Robert. I find him in the kitchen after following the smell of bacon cooking.
“Morning”
He turns around from the stove and responds. “Morning, how did you sleep?”
“Better than before thanks. I just don't know if I have slept enough to make it through the day.”
“Do you have any classes today”
“Lectures and yeah I have a two hour one about Chaplin but I really don't feel up to it.” The more I thought about it the more I managed to convince myself that I should just skip lecture and spend the day recovering. “God I'm a bad student.” I thought to myself.
“Well how about this. You stay home and rest and I can teach you about Chaplin?”
“Really you would do that?”
“Of course”
“That would be great, thank you”
He finishes cooking the bacon and plates it up along with sausages and scrambled egg and puts the plate in front of me on the table. While we sit and eat he says “so what do you want to do after we have finished eating?”
“Humm maybe go back to sleep for a hour or two.” After a moment of silence he finally speaks.
“I suppose I will allow it but only on one condition.”
“And whats that?”
“Well you did agree to go to dinner with me so I will allow you to sleep for a few more hours if you go out with me tonight.”
“Well Robert I have to say...*pause for effect*...I would love to!”
He literally grins the biggest grin I have ever seen and gets up to hug me. We finish eating and before I can even do anything Robert grabs my plate and goes to do the dishes. Hes standing with his back to me washing the dishes in sink. I find my eyes wondering down his body and stopping when they reached his derriere. It's like something took over my body and I couldn't stop myself. “Dam” was all I was capable of thinking.
He must have noticed somehow.
“Enjoying the view?”
His speech is enough to snap me out of it. “Whhaat? Oh sorry.”
“No problem my dear.” He returns to washing the dishes.
“It's time to get him back for earlier.”
I get up and slowly move over to him. I wrap my arms around his middle and pull him into a hug.
“Ah, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
I start to kiss his neck slowly, letting my lips linger on his skin. I felt his body pressed up against mine relax slightly, I knew I was playing with him but I didn't want to stop, I wanted to see his reaction. I continued kissing my neck getting further down his neck. At the same time I moved one of my hands down to his waist and kept going. I slide my hand up and down his inner thigh and hold my hand over his groin. I felt him jump and stare at me.
“No really, what are you doing?”
I didn't respond. Suddenly he grabs my hand and moves it off his groin up to his lips and kisses it. He then dries his hands and grabs my hands again and leads me upstairs back to my bedroom. When we reach my bed he picks me up and throws me onto the bed, earning a giggle from me. He then lies next to me and cuddles me.
“Robert?”
“Yes dear?”
“I'm not tired any more.”
“So what do you want to do instead?”
I thought for a while before saying. “Watch a film?”
“Yeah sure. What one?”
“Don't think I'm weird but it's a film I always like watching when I'm ill or cuddled up in bed.”
“What is it?”
“Sherlock Holmes”
“Hah! Where is the DVD?” He says while (I'm sure) judging me in his head.
I point to where the DVD is and snuggle under the duvet and get the control for the TV and turn it on ready. Robert puts the DVD into the TV and literally skips over to the bed to join me under the duvet and laid my head on his chest while pressing play on the DVD.
A couple of minutes into the film Robert speaks.
“So...why do you like watching this film so much?”
“For a couple of reasons. 1, The story I really adore, I mean come on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is amazing. 2, The acting is great.” “Why thank you” He says in a British accent exactly like Sherlock while grinning.
“And 3, because the overall filming making is wonderful. I would love to have been involved in the making of that film.” There was a bit of silence for a while before Robert spoke up again.
“I can't believe I haven't asked this before but what course are you studying?”
“It's called Creative Technology. It's a mixture of things including film studies, TV studio and business, copyrights and contracts.”
“Wow that sounds like fun and hard work.”
“Yeah it really is both of those things.”
“So what job do you want in the film industry?”
“Well I'm not too sure anymore, maybe producer. I like the idea of being involved in every stage of the films development.”
“Cool, well for what it's worth I think you would make a great producer. Your certainty bossy enough.” He says while raising an eye brow. That statement deserved a poke in his side from me.
“Thank you Robert.”
“No need to say thank you my dear.”
"Robert do you like watching yourself in your films?"
"Well I dont mind that much but I do find it odd as I always think I can do better."
"Your too harsh on yourself Robert your performace is amazing."
"Thank you Maria." He says while hugging me tightly.
We enjoy the rest of the film our eyes only diverting off the screen every now and then to look at each other and recite lines from the script in the correct accents. Robert obviously better than mine, despite me being the British one.
