As I lay back on the sofa with my girl straddled on top of me, kissing me like she'd never been gone at all, I felt a hunger inside of me like never before. I needed her.
I sat up, pushing her down so she was laid on her back on the sofa as I manoeuvred myself to hover above her and plant a few more kisses on her lips. I sat up a little and pulled at my t-shirt, yanking it off her and throwing it across the room, leaving her in only her bra and panties. I couldn't wait a second longer.
Scooping her up into my arms, I carried her across the apartment, moving in and out of the boxes until I reached the bedroom where I carried us both inside, dropping her onto her feet and grabbing her around her jaw, pulling her back into me and kissing her hard. Using my other hand, I snaked it around her body and popped the clasp on her bra open and she let it fall to the floor.
Pulling away from me, she gave me a little grin as she stepped back until she reached the bed, where she sat herself down and lay back, moving her arms up and resting her hands on the bed above her head, extending her whole body into a perfect, curving arch as I watched. I moved quickly to remove my clothing until I had nothing left on, not wanting to tease the situation anymore. I'd been without her for so long and I needed her now; not like that time we had sex at the shop when we weren't together, but for real with her as my girlfriend.
I quickly moved to her, pulling her panties off and throwing them over my shoulder before grabbing her around her waist and lifting her up, moving her to the top or the bed where she giggled and got under the covers as I joined her.
Moving myself in between her thighs, my nose touched hers and the pair of mesmerising green eyes stared right into mine. Her hand came up and rested on my face, stroking my cheek with her thumb as she looked at me and I pecked her lips softly, not taking my eyes away from hers. I brought my own hands to her face, one cupping her cheek and the other brushing her hair away from it so I could see every inch of her perfect complexion.
'I need you,' she whispered, and I took that as my queue to move into her.
I brought my lips back to hers, kissing her quickly and breathlessly as I slid the head of my dick up and down her slit, feeling how ready she was for me. Tiny groans escaped her mouth into mine and spurred me on even more as I moved faster before caving and pushing myself into her.
'Oh,' she whimpered, her mouth falling open as she kept herself still to allow me to settle inside of her comfortably. I hissed as I felt her wrapping around me tightly until I was as deep as I could go, letting out a deep exhale into her neck as the indescribable feeling of being inside of her overwhelmed me.
'Cal,' she groaned. She didn't need to say another word. I brought my mouth to the skin of her neck and kissed her as I began to ride my dick in and out of her, moving slowly and going deep as I kissed her neck and nibbled her skin, loving the tiny moans coming out of her mouth.
I came back up to kiss her, moving my lips against hers until I felt the urge to fuck her faster and I did so, causing her to break away from our kiss as her mouth fell open and she began to moan out loud. Her eyes opened and met mine, making me press my face to hers, not breaking eye contact as I fucked her harder and faster. I felt no need to flip her over and fuck her from behind whilst smacking her ass like I usually would; I just wanted to simply make love to her whilst looking right into those very eyes. The love of my life was back with me and I just needed to be with her.
'I love you,' she panted against my mouth as I pounded myself into her a little harder and her back already began to arch up.
'I love you more, baby,' I whispered, kissing her again and fucking her as fast as I could without tearing my lips away from hers, feeling myself ready to explode into her.
'Oh my god!' she moaned, throwing her head back as her eyes squeezed shut and her body began to jerk.
'Ah shit, baby,' I groaned into the skin of her shoulder as I felt myself break and cum deep inside of her as I breathed shakily against her.
'Oh my god, Cal,' she moaned, as she panted to get her breath back.
'I have missed you so fucking much,' I sighed, tracing the tip of my nose across her cheek and then her nose and across her other cheek.
'You have no idea how much I've missed you too,' she whispered, tilting her chin up to kiss me once more.
I closed my eyes and kissed her back once again, taking in the feel of her body underneath me; her soft, creamy skin and the heat of it against mine. The perfect scent of her surrounding me and finally placing itself across the sheets where it belonged.
I pulled away from our kiss and glanced down to see her looking tired even though it was still early. We had been watching movies all day and eaten our body weight in junk food and now she needed to rest and sleep away all of the stress and drama she had endured the last few days.
I stroked her face as her eyes drifted and smiled to myself as I took in her beauty. 'Sleep, baby. See you in the morning.'
...
I finally managed to unpack the last box, placing the final few small appliances back into the kitchen and flattening the box, placing it by the door with the rest. I moved to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, opening it and throwing it back until it was practically empty. I was worn out from trying to get all of that unpacking done before she woke up. Even though I'd asked her to help me, I wanted this apartment back to normal for her so she could go get her things and have our life back to the way it was right away.
Heading back into the bedroom, I glanced down at my sleeping girlfriend, passed out on her stomach and snoring lightly. I smiled and leaned down, running my hand gently down the skin of her back before kissing it and heading back out to take a shower.
It was the first shower I'd taken where I hadn't stood feeling depressed and sorry for myself. I was actually smiling to myself as I washed, wanting to hurry up so I could get back out and wait for my girl to wake up so I could see her beautiful smiling face. I'd always loved the way her eyes would be a little puffy in the morning and her skin always flushed.
After jumping out, I got dressed into the clothes on the towel warmer and moved back into the lounge, tidying up the last of the mess before making a coffee for her and walking back to our room. I sat on the edge of the bed and rested my hand on her back, not wanting to wake her but feeling a little selfish because I just wanted her to be awake with me.
'Baby,' I mumbled, gently pushing on her back.
She immediately lifted up, turning to look at me with one eye shut as she focused before both eyes squeezed shut as she smiled and did a big stretch.
'Sorry for waking you,' I said. 'I just wanted to see you.'
'That's okay.' Her morning voice croaked as she giggled and sat up straight. 'Is that for me?'
'Of course,' I said, handing the coffee to her.
'Thank you,' she said, taking it from me. 'So, today we'll get this apartment sorted out, yeah?'
'I already unpacked all of my stuff,' I told her. 'I called the landlord, let him know we're staying. I also texted Tori and told her I was returning to the shop on Monday.'
'Wow,' she said. 'Everything is already back into place.'
'Except your things,' I said. 'Are you planning to move them back in today?'
'Of course,' she said. 'I'll drink my coffee and take a shower, get dressed and we can head to my dorm. I need to make a call and let them know I'll be moving out.'
'Okay, sounds like a plan,' I said.
I sat on the bedside as Bethan finished her coffee, talking to her about what happened with Penny and the professor and I couldn't help but feel sympathetic for Penny. She was experiencing a love for someone and she knew it was frowned upon and she knew she'd be judged; something the two of us were all too familiar with. Bethan was right to give her the advice to do whatever she wanted to do. Even though their situation was a little different because it risked them losing their places at the university, it was worth it if they cared for each other enough.
Bethan headed for a shower and I waited on the sofa until she eventually came out of the bedroom, dressed in her clothes from the day before.
'I feel gross,' she said.
'Don't worry,' I chuckled. 'It's just one day.'
We put on our coats and headed down to the street, getting into the car and making the trip back to the dorms. Once we got there, I parked up and followed Bethan inside, wanting to help her pack this all up so it didn't take as long and I knew if she was sitting talking to Penny then it wasn't going to get done, so I could do it myself.
Bethan knocked at the door before opening it and peeking inside.
'Hey,' she said, opening the door wide and signalling me to come in.
I stepped in and looked to see Penny lounged on her bed with her laptop.
'Oh!' Penny said as she saw me, sitting up on her bed. 'Hey, Cal.'
'Hi, Penny,' I said, giving her a small wave.
'I'm here for my stuff,' Bethan said a little awkwardly.
'Of course,' Penny said.
'I'll get started then,' Bethan said, giving me a smile.
'By the way,' Penny said. 'Daniel called me last night.'
'Oh my god, what did he say?' Bethan asked her as she sat down on her bed. Well...ex-bed.
I rolled my eyes as they began to chat and I headed to her closet to begin packing her stuff into a suitcase.
'He told me you visited and agreed to keep our secret,' Penny told her. 'He wants to meet me tonight.'
'That's a good thing isn't it?' Bethan asked.
'Well, I don't know what it's about so...it could go either way,' she said.
I continued to pack as the pair of them talked, a constant cycle of Penny feeling nervous as to why the guy wanted to see her and Bethan encouraging her that it would be okay.
After about an hour and a half, I zipped up the suitcase and pulled it to the door, turning to Bethan.
'Oh, you're done,' she chuckled, blushing a little. 'Sorry, I got a bit distracted.'
'Well, I'll let you know what happens,' Penny said, standing to her feet.
'I hope all goes well,' Bethan said as the two of them hugged.
'You know what, Penny,' I said, making them both turn. 'I really hope that he tells you he wants to be with you tonight because you're a really great girl and you deserve happiness, but if he doesn't, then so what? Fuck it and fuck him because you'll know that he'll never get a girl as good and respectful and loyal as you and you'll find someone else worthy of it while he ends up regretting losing you, so just remember who you are when you see him tonight. Remember that he is the lucky one.'
'Wow,' she said, before her cheeks turned pink and she smiled softly. 'Thank you so much.'
'You're welcome,' I said with a nod.
'Need I say anymore?' Bethan chuckled.
'I think he said all I needed to hear,' Penny laughed. 'Oh, I'm going to miss you, roomie.'
'Me too,' Bethan sighed. 'Thank you for having me and being the bestest roommate and friend ever.'
'Sleepovers still on the cards always,' Penny said.
'Of course,' Bethan replied and the pair hugged once more.
Bethan pulled away, smiling to her friend before walking to join me at the door and I opened it, wheeling her suitcase out to the hall.
'Love you,' Penny said to her.
'Love you too,' Bethan replied.
Bethan closed the door behind her and I gave her a reassuring smile as we walked down the hall and got into the elevator.
'I'll miss these dorms a little,' she sighed as we stepped inside.
'Understandable,' I said. 'I'm glad you got to experience the dorm life for a little while, even though it was under shitty circumstances.'
'Me too,' she said. 'That's a positive. At least now I can say I got to do it and now I get to go back to my real home. I'm lucky.'
'No, I'm lucky,' I said, leaning down to kiss her forehead as the elevator opened.
We both headed out of the building and I threw the suitcase to the backseat before climbing in and driving back to Inwood, where we arrived at our apartment and I wheeled her suitcase back upstairs.
'There you go,' I said, placing the suitcase in our room. 'I'll leave that one just for you.'
'Okay,' she chuckled, heading to our room to get right to it.
I cracked open a bottle and headed to my desk, finally sorting through my designs while she unpacked. I was returning to work on Monday and Tori had sorted out my calendar for me and sent over my clients that were coming in on Monday that I'd previously had booked in. I made a move to find their templates that I had started and got to work on finishing them.
By the time I was done, Bethan headed into the lounge in her sweats and went to the fridge for a cherry cola.
'I really should stop drinking this shit and try sticking with water,' she said, opening it and plopping herself down on the sofa. 'If all of my teeth rot and fall out, will you still love me?'
'Hmmm...I don't know,' I said, teasingly, from my desk. 'Suppose the lack of teeth would be great for when you suck my-.'
'Okay!' she called. 'That's enough! Geez, a simple question turned dirty, I certainly am home.'
I laughed to myself as I straightened up my papers and got to my feet, heading over to the sofa where I lay down and joined her.
'You asked me and I was honest,' I chuckled.
'Too honest,' she laughed.
'Well, anyway, of course I would still love you,' I said. 'Jokes aside, I'll always love you no matter what. Even when you're old and grey and I'm changing your diapers.'
'Gross,' she replied.
'So you wouldn't do the same for me?' I asked her, jokingly.
'Well, I don't think I'd have a choice would I?' she asked.
'No, you're stuck with me forever and no one else is going to do it,' I laughed.
'Okay, I suppose it's worth it if it means I get to be with you forever,' she said with a bashful grin.
I smiled and reached out to caress her cheek and she turned her head and quickly kissed my palm.
'So,' I said out loud, picking up the remote. 'You had The Grinch yesterday, now time for Elf.'
'Christmas is over, Cal,' she laughed.
'Yeah, but we missed ours,' I reminded her. 'So this is ours now.'
'Oh yeah,' she said with a nod. 'Let's do it.'
'Okay, Elf it is,' I said, moving closer to her. 'The best Christmas movie ever.'
She rolled her eyes as she chuckled and batted my arm gently. 'Shut the fuck up.'
