Nobody said that moving on would be easy. That's what you thought, but you weren't expecting to have a fall so soon.
You didn't expect this. You didn't mean to get so attached.
Richard always used to tell you that was the only flaw in your otherwise perfect career.
You get too attached.
You left your biggest attachments behind in Seattle though, and came here to move on.
Before today you finally thought that you could do this on your own, then one day and 2 babies change everything.
You have the beautiful house and you don't want to go back there because there's no one waiting for you to return.
Not wanting to be alone you find yourself at Sam's, crying in Naomi's arms and gulping down the wine that Sam brings you. Unfortunately you're well aware that both of them have just come from bed, so after the tears have subsided you feel ready to go home.
Being alone is something you're not looking forward to getting used too.
Even after Derek left you moved in with Mark because you didn't want to be alone.
Now in your empty house you can only think of one person to call who understands what happened today.
Pete.
So, pouring yourself another glass of wine you call him, and half an hour he arrives. He finds you outside, crying quietly, and as he prises the glass from your fingers the tears stop falling. Placing the glass on the floor he moves to kiss your cheek gently and his lips feel soft and comforting.
Even though you know that sleeping with him will not solve your problems in the long run you're more concerned with just solving the loneliness problem, for tonight.
Pete is here and he doesn't even ask why as you take his hand and lead him upstairs to your bedroom. Once inside his lips find yours and he kisses you with a similar earnestness that he did at work. Small gasps of desire leave you as he fumbles with your clothes and lays you down on the bed. You unbutton his shirt and trousers and before you realise what's really happening you're both naked on the bed breathing heavily. His lips graze your neck as his hands roam around your body and all you can think is how much you need this, and even though that shower head is good it's no substitute for the real thing. He acts the gentleman and pleasures you first, caressing your clitoris with his tongue, first softly and then when you can't take his teasing he adds his fingers making you squirm and buck your hips into his mouth. His name tumbles from your lips as your mind and body explode with orgasm.
You lie there, trying to catch your breath as he moves next to you, kissing all the way up your body. He's hard and ready for you, and as he enters you all thoughts of the awful day you had vanish as you concentrate on pleasure. The sex is slow and you're surprised at how tender he is. He gently nips at your neck, breasts and ears as he cries your name and its not long before his name is re tumbling from your lips again.
No one said moving on would be easy, and even though you've fallen at the first hurdle you don't mind because he's not Derek, Mark or Alex.
He's Pete, and as you lie next to him sated and relaxed you don't feel lonely at all.
