"Caleb's band is playing at the Stargazer tomorrow night" Angus mentions casually over breakfast Thursday morning
"Caleb has a band?" I ask, sounding far more surprised than I intended, I don't really know Caleb that well, I've only met him once, I have no idea what he does with his life outside of Saturday brunch at Skye Fitness but he doesn't look the type to be in a band, with his pasty white skin and stick figure body.
"Yeah, He's the lead singer, it's an alternative band called 'Happier', they're good too" He tells me, "Do you wanna go see them?"
"Yes, I'd love that, I actually love alternative music" I tell him excited, "We should invite Tess and Declan too" I suggest and he agrees, I send a text to Tess with details, she replies within seconds with a strong yes
"Molly will be there too, she'll love that you're coming, she liked you Zoey" Angus informs me and that makes me happy, I liked Molly, we had great conversation over brunch and I knew She and Tess would hit it off too.
Angus' phone vibrates on the table with an incoming call, I catch a glimpse of the caller before he grabs the phone, rejects the call and shoves it into his pocket. I don't say a word about it and I don't think he realised that I saw Steph's name flash up on the screen either.
"What are we doing today?" I ask, attempting to draw his attention away from the phone call and it works, he smiles widely at me.
"Zoey, my love, today we are going on an adventure." He announces to me excited, "You may want to wear pants too, just a suggestion"
Angus drove us to an indoor trampoline and foam park in Oasis Springs, this place was huge and there were adults and kids bouncing around.
"Are we allowed in here without children?" I ask Angus, a little concerned that someone will think we are up to no good
"Of course we are Zo, when I first started training Justin would bring me here, it's sneaky exercise" He explains
"Sneaky how?" I ask, I'm on to his game, he is making us work off the burger and cupcake but is masking it as an 'adventure'
"It's fun baby" He promises, grabbing my hand and leads me to a giant trampoline and we kick off our shoes, now I'm understanding why he said to wear pants today. He climbs on first and then helps me on, takes both my hands, we start doing small bounces, slowly building momentum until we are going higher and higher, he lets go of my hands, bounces back from me to give us space and I watch him do a back flip.
"That was pretty impressive" I cheer at him
"That was nothing baby" He calls out to me as he follows it up with a double backflip and I cheer at him again, "I love that you're impressed by this but not my car" he says, pretending to be offended and I laugh at him.
"I love the man, not his material possessions" I tell him, he slows his bouncing down and makes his way back to where I am, I stop bouncing and he grabs me around the waist and kisses me passionately on the lips, for a moment it feels like it's just us two.
"Fuck I love you girl" He whispers to me and I smile shyly at him, "Do you like our adventure?' He asks me
"I'm having so much fun, it's exhilarating" I can't wipe the smile off my face.
"I'm glad, I felt like you needed a day of fun with all the stress you're under, I wanted to give you one good day baby before they rain the shit down upon you" He explains
"Is it too late to quit?" I ask, half serious and he laughs a little.
"Zoey, everything you need to know for the exams you already know, theres no new information coming now and you are one of the smartest people I've ever met, you're number 2 in your class ranking. I believe you will blitz the exams and you're going to make an amazing vet one day and look back on these days and know it was all worth it" He says, building my confidence, looking at me in awe, people are jumping around us and we are just standing there, our arms wrapped around each other, having a heartfelt moment.
We drive home from Oasis Springs and I am exhausted from jumping but I had the best day, he reaches over and takes my hand and kisses it.
"I have some news" He announces to me
"You're pregnant? Congratulations, you're going to be a great dad" I joke
"That would be my worst nightmare at 22" He laughs, "Luckily my news is less scary. Immie is coming home next week, she said she will be back Thursday which works out great because we will be away and she can just step in and run things but it sucks because you won't meet her until we come home" He tells me, getting excited, He has wanted Imogen and I to meet for as long as we have been together and it is a shame it will be delayed by another week.
"I'm excited that I finally get to meet your sister, after all the amazing things you've told me about her"I smile brightly at him
"She's going to love you Zoey" He promises but I do feel a little nervous, Imogen is the only family Angus has and if she doesn't like me then it could effect his feelings too, "Just getting back to other thing that you joked about though, you took the pill today right?" He asks, nervously
"Yes, I took the 'don't make Angus a father' pill" I assure him
"Good" He says relieved
"Do you not like children?" I ask him
"I love kids, they're fun and I'm somewhat childish so I relate to them but I don't want any of my own yet, you're going to Uni next year Zoey, I wouldn't want anything to derail that and I've got a great work and life balance happening" He clarifies
"Can we stop for lunch somewhere?" I ask him, changing the subject and I can see the relief written all over his face, to be done with that conversation
"We can, what do you feel like?" He ask, smiling at me
"Surprise me" I tell him
He takes me to The Solar Flare Lounge and we order lunch and walk to the bar.
"Vodka and soda and light beer please?" Angus asks the mixologist
"Certainly sir" She replies and she wanders off to prepare our drinks.
"Thank you for today, I needed to destress" I say to Angus, I want him to know how grateful I am that he understands that I need to take time away from study.
"It was my pleasure baby, I remember what it felt like when I was studying for the exams and I wish I had an outlet to eliminate the stress" He explains
we collect our drinks, find a table and our food is served.
"I have to get an early night tonight, I've gotta be up at 5am for a run and then work" Angus informs me
"Do you want me to go home?" I ask, slightly disappointed that our time will be cut short
"Not at all, I'm just letting you know incase you wanted to have shenanigans, it will have to be before 8." He tells me, cheeky smile plastered on his face
"Shenanigans?" I am genuinely confused by that term
"Sex Zoey, if you want to have sex" He educates me
"Do you want to?" I ask, thinking he only does it because I want to
"Zoey I'm a 22 year old boy, I wanted it when we had breakfast, I wanted it at the trampoline park and if I'm being honest I'm thinking about it right now, hence why I brought it up" He tells me, laughing
"Yes, I would like to have shenanigans tonight" I announce to him, he grabs his keys from the table and jumps to his feet, takes my hand and we leave the Lounge in a hurry.
The drive back to San Myshuno takes about 25 minutes but they are the longest minutes of my life, even with Angus driving 10 kilometres above the speed limit. We ride the elevator up to the apartment in silence, he opens the front door and throws his keys on the bar, turns to me and says, "Pick a room Zoey.", I stop and think for a moment, my mind ticking over with all the possible opportunities each room beholds.
"Dinning room" I tell him, he picks me up, throws me over his shoulder and carries me up the stairs, places me down on the dinning room table and kisses me deeply.
"I'll be back in two seconds, I want you to be naked when I return" He says, running off to his bedroom and I begin to remove my clothing quickly, Angus returns just as I'm down to my underwear, he drops to his knees, slides my panties down my legs, disposing of them on the floor, opens my legs wider and places his soft, warn tongue on my happy button and puts two fingers inside of me and he starts working them both in unison, for every whip of his tongue his fingers penetrate me deeper, my hands are in his hair, my legs wrapped loosely around his neck and I can feel the energy building inside me and I don't know how much longer I can hold it back but I'm getting close. I feel his mouth pull away and his fingers slide out of me and he stands up between my legs. I look at him confused
"I didn't...arrive" I tell him, shyly
"I know Princess, I'm getting to it but I couldn't wait any longer to join you" He says, grabbing the protection from the table, rips it open, rolls it on and slides himself inside me, "Wrap your legs around my waist Zo and keep your eyes on mine." I do exactly as he asks, he starts off slowly, with one hand on bottom the other on the table to steady his balance, "Do you wanna go faster?" He asks me and I nod my head yes. He picks up speed, thrusting deeper into me, I hold his face in my hands and kiss him deeply, pull back and I once again lock eyes with him, I can feel I'm getting closer but I'm trying to hold back and wait for him
"You can let go baby" He tells me, I close my eyes and feel euphoria wash over me. When I open my eyes I see him, smiling back at me, "We're not done yet"
"I know, Im ready" I tell him and he starts again, faster than before and it doesn't take him long before his breathing becomes rapid and he starts moaning my name as he slams himself into me over and over, his body is tense and his eyes are closed when I feel him quiver between my legs and he lets out one last "Fuck" before collapsing carefully onto me in a sweaty heap. I sweep his hair out of his eye and he smiles at me.
"I love fucking you Zoey" He announces to me
"I love it too but could be call it something else?" I ask and he looks at me confused, "Something that doesn't sound like you picked me up in a bar, that signifies that we actually love each other" I explain and he smiles, he understands me
"I love making love to you my Princess" He clarifies and I kiss him
"Caleb has a band?" I ask, sounding far more surprised than I intended, I don't really know Caleb that well, I've only met him once, I have no idea what he does with his life outside of Saturday brunch at Skye Fitness but he doesn't look the type to be in a band, with his pasty white skin and stick figure body.
