Chapter Nine - Robin

“Is that what you think?”

“I don’t know.” He looked at her, and shook his head. “No. That’s not what I think.”

“Good, because I’m expecting you back in a couple of hours.” She sat up, and then pulled the covers up around her. “I need a shower. And you need to track down Carl and make sure he’s got everything he needs. I am expecting you to stay tonight. It’s Christmas day tomorrow, and you are the only present I want this year.”

“OK, you don’t have to make fun of me.”

“No. I mean it, Greg.” She slipped her hand around his neck and drew him close. “I want this to last. Surely it means something that we found each other after all these years.”

“Seven years and three months.”

“So you said,” she kissed him, and he pulled her close, his arms holding her tight against his body. It would be so easy to stay like this, for him not to leave. But she needed some time to get her head together. “Now. Go. I will see you later.”

She got up and went to the bathroom, before she shut the door, she said, “See yourself out. Come back when you’re ready, but please don’t bring Carl.”

He was out of bed, and retrieving his clothes, pulling his pants back on, leaving her one last look at his wonderful chest before he put one arm into the sleeve of his shirt. “Don’t worry, I won’t.” He looked up at her and grinned. “He is not going to ruin Christmas for us.”

“Good. I want you all to myself.” She shut the door behind her and leaned back against it, listening for him to leave.

“See you in a couple of hours,” he shouted.

“I can’t wait,” she called back. But was that true?

“What is wrong with you?” Her voice choked with tears.

Pushing herself away from the door she made herself turn the shower on, and when the water was steaming hot she stepped under the hard jet, hoping it would drum some sense into her stupid brain.

What was she so afraid of? A question she knew the answer to, but hated to admit. The problem was if she was serious about Greg, she would have to own up to her past. All the sordid bits no one else knew, not even Max. It was what had driven her to Hawaii, her need to escape. It was the thing that had driven her into the arms of Carl. Carefree, handsome Carl. A man she knew would expect nothing more than sex, because she had known then that she was no good for anyone worthwhile.

The rest of her relationships had also been based on those same metrics. She had gone out of her way to choose men who had no intention of having a long term relationship, she could see that now. Being with Greg had highlighted how bad her choices were, the worst thing is they had always been subconscious choices. If she could spend so long hiding from herself, how would she cope with laying herself bare for a man she barely knew.
