Car Share: For Your Eyes Only
Chapter 4
"Kayleigh, you awake? Kayleigh?" John lightly nudges her bare shoulder as his eyes glance down at this stunningly beautiful woman lying in his arms and smiles when he sees her hair splayed out across the pillows like Aphrodite the Greek Goddess herself but it looked extremely likely he wouldn't be getting the response he hoped for from her. He checks again, to see if she might be pretending to be asleep - nope, she was sound asleep and from the look of it sleeping more blissfully than Snow White herself, noticeably she had an endearing smile on her face.
Overwhelmed, John reflects on the song in which made love to, Love Me Like You Do from that Fifty Shades of Grey movie, which for them seemed like the proper perfect song to describe their latest time. John's gentleman instincts were to make sure she relaxed as much as possible and that he handed over the responsibilities to her when they took turns for a repeat performance. The loved up pair honestly could not get enough of exploring each other. John had undoubtedly brought out the passion from within Kayleigh. She had become a woman on a frantic mission, pushing him to his limits which resulted in wearing them both out. Ah that would explain why she hadn't said given him a goodnight kiss before she fell asleep.
To tell the truth he knows he hadn't sworn off since he had broken off his engagement with Charlotte. Meeting the right woman was never off his mind. Take that time where he made a bloody pigs ear of himself trying to eye flirt with that pretty female driver in the Beetle on the way up to Bury one morning. She may have presumed he were the Psycho trying to lure her in instead. No other woman would ever batter their eyelids except for Kayleigh. He probably should have known those words "You're not gonna meet someone sitting on your arse" would come back to bite him on the arse.
Hours later Kayleigh stirs from her sleep, to find John sleeping comfortably despite the constant snoring and the fact he was hogging half the duvet! She speculates whether she may have drank far too much or whether she just was honestly drunk on love for him. She didn't actually know as last night had been such a whirlwind of a night for her. Becoming an avid Bond fan thanks to John's words of encouragement to give Skyfall a try. John officially asking her to move in with him. Then the two of them guaranteeing the night ended in memorable fashion by making love.
She found suddenly she was all hot and bothered, simply from feasting her eyes on him. John may be no George Clooney or Hugh Jackman but to her he was the most gorgeous, charming and sweetest man she had the pleasure of knowing. He was a trillion times better than the exes she had dated in the past who saw her nothing as more than than a girlfriend they would brag about to their mates about while out on the town for a lads night out.
Kayleigh never quite got round to thanking Cath Hilton for pairing her and John up for the supermarket's car share scheme because the likes of Pamela, Donna or Elise and even Dave Thompson would frustratingly keep preventing her from getting anywhere near her.
She turns onto her right-hand side. No sooner after she did this, she feels John's arms securing themselves around her waist, spooning her from behind and couldn't resist smiling to herself. Even in sleep they fitted together so excellently.
She responds by stroking his shoulder top back and forth. Kayleigh gets a cute reaction to her actions, the sound of John purring like a cat and sighing happily.
"Jonathan I've never had you down as a cat purrer." Kayleigh giggles.
"And you've only noticed this just now...you're unbelievable. Don't be going telling everyone at work I'm the world's greatest purrer in the bedroom because you know I'll never hear the end of it, if word gets round." John knows all too well when she tries to think of something juicy to tell her colleagues during their lunch breaks in the staff canteen or while she's outside having a breather.
"Oh I promise I won't." Kayleigh tries to persuade John he needn't worry. She is not the gossiper he believes she is. Since John started courting her, Kayleigh had completely respected his wishes for the full details of their relationship to be kept under wraps from her fellow colleagues.
"Do you swear you won't?" John asks. He trusts her without a shadow of a doubt. He knows he wouldn't be in love if he did not trust her.
"Oh I don't like swearing on things because I always think it means bad luck to the thing or person you swear on." Kayleigh hadn't changed her superstitious ways over the months, in fact they had got more laughable as of lately. She told John one day, she thought stepping on a black cat's tail was a sign of you winning the National Lottery.
An hour later, John got up and slid his boxers on before heading to the bathroom to use the toilet and to freshen himself up. Kayleigh had grown rather fond of having the privilege of viewing John's nice looking bum the morning after sharing his bed with him. This morning he had opted to tease her like mad, by not letting her see his bum in it's full naked glory and strolls towards the bathroom with the biggest grin on his face, when he caught a glimpse of her in the mirror now facing the direction of the bedroom door, mischievously reaching for one of the pillows and ready to chuck it at him.
"Don't even think about it Lady!" John stopped her in her tracks. She considered his warning of chucking the pillow at him. Her answer was predictable to say the least - as Kayleigh chucks the pillow at his shoulder but John dodges it very smartly.
"My hand slipped...sorry." Kayleigh claims she never intended to make use of the pillow. She weren't fooling John and boy he did know it.
"Try telling your face that." John points out, how the look on her face had inadvertently just given the game away for her.
"What? What's wrong with my face?" She asks him with a perceptible expression. She seems to remains totally oblivious as she touches her nose as well as her cheeks , so she could check to see what on the earth the problem was which John was referring to.
"Never said anything was wrong with your face. No what I mean your face seems to be suggesting differently, you know as if it's saying shit John's busted me, what do I do now?" John therefore describes in no certain terms what sort of picture he thinks her face was painting a couple of minutes ago.
"Is it? Well I never would have thought that." Kayleigh bites her lip anxiously. Her face cringes up ever so awkwardly. She knows she can't withstand lying any longer.
"Come on own up you pillow throwing psycho" John cries with laughter. He couldn't quite get the words out without laughing.
Kayleigh laughs. She sticks her hands halfway up in the air as if to say 'Alright I'm guilty on being a pillow throwing psycho'. John enters the bathroom, leaving her alone to get changed into her clothes.

John insisted he would cook breakfast for the both of them. Kayleigh couldn't take her eyes off him. She loved every moment of being blessed with this VIP treatment she has of witnessing this kindhearted side of his. His full English breakfast was more tastier and less greasier than a Fat Boy, which pleased Kayleigh very much. She wasn't a fan of the Fat Boy breakfast to be honest even though she had practically ate the whole meal as she had been starving that morning they had breakfast together in Big Bob's Munch Box.
"Mmm John. I'm already looking forward to you cooking me breakfast every morning." The complacent look on her face all but confirms that his breakfast had earned a rave review from her.
"Kayleigh, you're free to chip in whenever you fancy with the cooking breakfast too you know. I mean you can cook, can't you?" John feels she should contribute now and again with the cooking breakfast and tea. He hopes she can cook and that she doesn't rely too much on meals you can just pop in the microwave for a number of minutes.
"Well you see about that John..." Kayleigh is on the verge of disappointing him on this particular subject.
"You can't cook can ya?" She needn't had said anything as John had worked this out before she was able to tell him this herself. He's fine with this reveal besides he thinks this will makes thing more fun, teaching her how to peel and slice potatoes, onions and fruit.
"Well I can only do toast, can't I." Kayleigh hopes he isn't annoyed with her.
"Looks like I've got my hands full with you haven't I, Lady." John chuckles. He was nowhere near annoyed with her. He looked forward to challenge of teaching her the basics dos and don'ts of cooking.
On the drive back up to Bury later that morning, Kayleigh was enjoying on another one of her daydreams. In this latest daydream Kayleigh wearing her pink pyjamas but with the room dim all around. She was watching a film which turned out to be a James Bond film but one with a difference, as John walks across the screen handsomely dressed as James Bond. He's performing Bond's the gun barrel opening-credits sequence. She shifts her legs and bum over the carpet rug towards the TV and goes to get a closer look, to see what on earth John does next on the screen.
The volume on the background music starts to gets higher and higher. Kayleigh recognizes the song as 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' by Starship. Kayleigh watched in awe as John made his second appearance on screen this time, wearing the same suit. He seems to be pointing his finger in her direction. He appears to be interacting with Kayleigh via the TV. The camera slowly pans out to reveal John sitting at a table in a French restaurant, with the second chair currently unoccupied.
"Looking in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand baby don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart"
Kayleigh points her finger at her chest and silently mouths "Who, me?". John nods his head and reaches his hand out through the screen, for Kayleigh to hold. She sighs, she can't believe what is happening. She gets up on her knees and holds her hand to him. Their hands connect magically and within the blink she finds herself in the restaurant sitting opposite John.
She takes a moment to take in the 360 degree view of this unnamed restaurant. As the music continues more in the background, she sees Stink Ray in his work uniform, sitting at another table, looking villainous and for some bizarre reason he's stroking a ginger cat with his left hand and using the middle finger of his hand, to show John what he thinks of him. It was obvious he wasn't happy. Kayleigh tries her best not to look over her shoulder at him, as John has instructed her not to. John has a point, he doesn't want either of them attracting attention from fellow diners.
"John!" Kayleigh shouts over the music as it was far too loud. The saying of his name triggers the action in the dream sequence to move thick and fast. John dashes out of the restaurant as fast as possible with Kayleigh in tow, holding his hand tightly.
"John. What's going on? Where's your Aston Martin car?" One significant factor Kayleigh had picked up on from watching Skyfall was James Bond's famous prized possession - his beloved car. She couldn't wait to see John being only the second person she knows to drive it. However as the two ran towards the car park with Stink Ray's face being projected on the nearby buildings, Kayleigh's heart swelled with excitement upon seeing the red Fiat 500L glowing as a spotlight descended on John's car from the sky above.
"Oh, all that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, and ever and ever
And we can build this thing together
Stand this stormy weather
Nothings gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now"
The daydream ends, thanks to John singing to Wake Up Maggie by Rod Stewart, only being the smarty pants he is, he's changed 'Maggie' to 'Kayleigh'.
"Sorry I fell asleep. I must be still tired." Kayleigh yawns. She feels a bit awkward because she had nodded off while he was talking to her.
"Not the first time you've done that this morning." John happily reminds her.
"John! Oh don't." Kayleigh's cheeks burned with embarrassment. Surprisingly she wasn't seeing the funny side.
"Kayleigh it's the weekend. You know you are allowed to catch up on whatever sleep you've missed out on during the week." John can't help but wonder if Kayleigh might feel she will never hear the end of Mandy and Steve's jokes about her bedroom antics with John, the very moment they step into the living room.
"I don't know about you but I fancy a muffin and a strawberry milkshake or a hot chocolate from the Drive Through." John suggests they stop off for refreshments from McDonalds, in a supportive bid to cheer her up, help take her mind off what Mandy and Steve might think of the bags beneath her eyes when they next see her.
"You read my mind Jonathan." Kayleigh responds with a relieved smile. She was glad they were taking a last minute detour before they would be arriving in Bury.
