Lessons still to learn

18 April 2010

The vibrating noise of a mobile phone moving upon the surface of the dressing table brought Elle into the world of the living. Stirring slowly, Elle slid from the bed to grab her smartphone, which was still buzzing in a distressed state, signalling that the caller had left a voicemail.

The voicemail was from her interior designer. Her house was finally ready! Elle was excited at the prospect of being able to go straight to her house, once they returned from the surprise William had planned

She slipped back into the bed, just as William brought a cup of morning coffee into her room, as had become their routine over her brief stay.

“Happy Birthday,” he greeted, his bedroom hair giving him a sexy tousled look that caused her heart to flutter, as he leaned in and kissed her tenderly, before sitting on the edge of the bed next to her.

“Thank you,” She blushed, as he gazed downwards to the low neckline of her sleep attire.

"I didn’t interrupt a call on the phone, did I?" He asked, as he tried to distract his eyes from wandering further over her luscious curves.

"No, I was just checking the voicemail, my interior designer said that my house is finally finished." She could not keep the excitement contained from her voice, even though it meant that her staying with him was now ending.

"Oh…" was all William managed to say. The pleasure he experienced from seeing her each morning shattered by the same realisation, that her stay would soon end. He knew she could not have stayed forever in his house, but he had expected to have her to himself for another day, at least.

She sensed his body tense up. "Will?"

"Just sad that the bubble we have been living in for the past few days is burst," he explained, in a matter of fact way.

Elle instinctively lifted her hand up to his cheek, to caress it. "I may not be living in your house, but that does not mean things will change. We will see each other." Her voice gentle, "Maybe even manage some proper dates, and let you woo me in a more traditional manner."

"Have I not been wooing you in a traditional manner then?" He smiled, feeling slight less melancholy.

"Well, ignoring our previous history, staying in a man's house, after knowing him less than a week, is not the usual for me."

"Mmm, true,” His fingertips traced the outline of her collarbone thoughtfully.

"So, anyway, I have no plans to abandon you, as soon as we arrive back from my surprise, if that is what you are worried about. I was hoping that maybe you would stay there for a night or two. We still have more things to talk about, and at the same time, we have to see Charlie and Jess at some point, now that she is being discharged." Elle also felt more comfortable with the idea of finally telling him about Christian on her own territory, rather than on his, in case everything came crashing down around her.
