Kindness for more
Ch1
Dana woke up in bed alone... She looked at her clock on her bedside, it was ten o'clock, William never let her sleep this late. She crawled from her bed, rubbed her face then slipped into her pjs, once she found them across the floor. She walked out in the lounge, she was all alone and thinking what to do next to keep herself amused. She hears William laugh from his bedroom, he's awake and sounds happy, she moves towards his room when the room opens
"...and the other went bang"
On point William giggles as he's being tiggled on his side, he turns into the culprit making him laugh, who leans into him, slightly kissing his hair
"you like this silly rhyme don't you? Your so funny"
Stood holding William in the doorway is skinner in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, laughing along with William, he looks up and sees Dana
"Oww hi... Umm morning"
he gives an uneasy smile, a little embarrassed
"morning both of you, I wondered if you were awake yet Mr William" says Dana laughing as William reaches his arms for her
"come on then" she says taking him,
He snuggles into her neck
"you need your bottle don't you? Its late"
Skinner looks down from the pair to the floor
"he's already had it" he says
"you gave it to him?"
"yes, sorry. He was grizzly at about 9 so I gave it to him... You said he'd want it at that time. Sorry"
Dana looks at him and steps close again, she kisses him on the cheek,
"thanks. Ill just change him, can you make me a coffee please?"
He nods and retreats to the kitchen. As she takes him back into his room, and sets him on his changing table
"were you having fun with uncle skinner? I think he likes you a lot"
William wiggles on the mat while Dana changes him.
"Mommy will have a drink then you can have some fruit, maybe uncle skinner can do that while I shower, what you think?"
Once he's changed and dressed in his new set she carries him back out, she drags his new floor mat skinner bought him across to in front of the sofa, she's sure he will learn to kick and make loads of noise with it.
"your spoilt little man"
"no he's not, just well loved" says skinner appearing with two mugs, he sets them on the table and sits next to Dana
"thank you" she says with a smile
She puts her hand on his leg, then leans into him, but he pulls away, she moves her hand to his cheek
"Dana please"
She pulls back
"what? What's wrong?"
He opens his mouth to speak but she jumps in
"so its only ok when you want it not me" she stands, she feels she can't sit with him, she thought he was better than this. She starts to walk towards the kitchen but is grabbed, turned and pushed against the wall
"yes?" she says in a angry voice
He grabs her face and is instantly kissing her, she melts into him and wraps her arms around him, pulling him closer. He pulls out, stroking her cheek
"Dana... I wasn't being funny with you, I'd never be funny with you. Last night meant everything to me, and I want it to carry on, but not in front of William. Its not fair to confuse him, he's seen his dad with you, its not fair he now sees you kissing me. Sorry if that's wrong for you"
She nods...
"not at all, it makes sense, I was just worrying you were regretting last night or thought I was messing you around as I didn't sleep with you"
"Dana, I didn't expect to Jump into bed with you, I actually don't want to jump straight in yet, I want to be with you and learn your beautiful body first. I know your conscious you see which is why I was surprised when you asked to lie topless with me"
Her hearts melting with each word, she moves and strokes his cheek
"thank you, I don't deserve you"
He pulls a stern face
"you've not got me yet, you need to ask me"
"umm... So Walter will you be with me? And take on my bundle of mess and noise"
He leans into her
"yes"
And he kisses her pushing himself closer to her, he pulls out of the kiss and wraps his arms around her.
"Can I ask something? Seriously"
"yes, what?"
"did you really think I expected to sleep with you last night?"
"I don't know, a bit, we were rather undressed in bed"
"Dana, I... I love you, always have, I never thought I'd kiss you, let alone lie with you like that in bed. It was amazing"
Both smile then kiss again, William starts to sound unhappy
"will you see to him, if I sort out his snack?" asks Dana
"course"
They pull apart and he walks to see William
"what's up little man?"
he picks him up, sits on the sofa, and William giggles at him. Dana stands watching them together, she knows she made the right decision in asking him to be with her, he idolises her and William, even better he loves her. It then hits her she didn't return the gesture, she does love him, she decides shower, put William to sleep then tell him.
She's in the kitchen sorting out Williams fresh fruit puree when she feels two hands on her neck,
"hello William, its almost ready"
She turns to see William being held by skinner laughing.
"Shall we put you in your chair then uncle skinner can feed you?"
Skinner nods, and puts William in his high chair. Skinner sits n front of him laughing, She hands him the bowl
"umm looks nice" he says
"I put his water on the table, he'll drink the lot after he's done, give him a little in between. But mind he grabs the bowl"
"ok, well be ok won't we?"
"ill jump a shower, then he'll be ready for a sleep, ok?"
"yeah were all good"
She walks across to the bedroom, proud of herself. She goes through her draws looking for some decent underwear, and clothes to put on, she wants to look good for her new man. She then slips into the shower, thinking about what happened the night before.
In the kitchen skinner is still feeding William, thinking about his new partner and what happened the night before. He'd acted so unlike himself but got the one thing he wanted. He was a little unsure of he'd pushed to far saying he loved her but she seemed ok with him. His thoughts were distracted by William grabbing the bowl, spilling some of the contents onto his t shirt
"cheers for that"
William just giggled.
"Right all finished, here's your water. Ill get some wipes for your messy face"
Once all cleaned, skinner picks him up and carries him to the sofa
"come on snuggles and sleep time"
He lays William across his arm then strokes his face, he starts to close his eyes, Skinners glad he can do this, and William is comfortable with him.
Dana steps out of the shower, dries herself then slips into her new clothes then steps out, she sees skinner nursing William and he's falling asleep on him. She quietly walks over and wraps her arms around his neck.
"hi" he whispers "you wanna finish him off?"
"yeah, that ok?"
"yeah ill go wash,"
She sits next to him and he hands William over,
"what happened to your top?"
"William did. You look nice"
"thanks"
"see you in a bit"
"ok"
And he walks into the bedroom.
He gets out his bag, finds a clean t shirt and undies, wishing he'd put some decent clothes in but he did think he was going to a motel, not be with Dana. He jumps in the shower remembering what happened the night before, wondering when he'll get the chance again. He gets out the shower, dries, and slips into his boxers then steps out into the bedroom
"umm... Nice..."
He looks up and sees Dana laid on the bed smiling at him
"well I hope you'll get used to it"
"oww I want to"
She stands and walks up to him. She runs her hands down his bare chest, he shivers under her gentle touch.
"Walt, hunny... Can I tell you something?"
He wraps his arms around her
"yes, what?"
"I love you"
He's stunned by her admission of love...
"I love you too"
They hug for a bit...
"How did this all begin?" says Dana...
