Christian POV

Syed takes charge, moving our bodies together, and I can't believe how amazing he feels against me. I grin as I move to kiss him again.

"Christian?" I hear Lucy call.

Irealise the doors not locked, and she has this tendency to walk in on things I don't want her to see. So regretfully I press a kiss to his lips as I move away from him.

I wrap on my dressing gown as I leave him, surprised at the strength my legs have to walk. Syed gets up, and taking one last lingering look at me, shuts himself in the room next door.

As I let Lucy in, I see her spy the rumpled bed clothes, and turn to face me, rolling her eyes.

She presses on into my kitchen, and picks up the empty beer can, looking at the other one.

"Carrying on from last night? Is he hot? Where is he?"

"Anything I can help you with?" I ignore her question. If only she knew…

"Dad's being a twat, he grounded me"

"What did you do this time?" I sigh.

"It's not always my fault you know"

"I didn't say it was did I?"

"No….Well Dad and Jane were supposed to be out with Max and Tanya last night. So me and Peter invited some people around, it wasn't a party, it was just some friends. And that Liz Eccles came, I don't know who invited her. But she bought some weed around, I promise I didn't do any"

I cock an eyebrow at her, if she thinks I believe that she must think I'm a total idiot.

"But of course you know I'm the bad child, Peter's the goody two shoes, despite the fact he was screwing Lauren in his bedroom all night. So yeah it's my fault that when Dad comes back the house smells of weed"

"Don't tell your Dad about Peter" I advise.

"Would I?" She gives me a face that she thinks looks all innocent. "So yeah Dad's got me working in the chippy all weekend, my hairs never going to recover. And I need to revise. So….I was wondering…..you'd talk to Dad for me wont you?"

"He's hardly likely to listen to me is he?"

"He did the last time"

"That was different I spoke to Jane"

"Well speak to Jane" She looks up at me, giving me this angelic smile "Please?"

And I'm a sucker for that look, as well she knows, so I end up agreeing.

Lucy POV

Christian rocks. He really does, seriously for a man who's nearly forty he actually remembers what it's like to be young. Which is a lot more than I can say for Dad, and his current wife. That's kind of why I always go to him to fight my battles, plus his dislike for Dad helps. And he definitely remembers how to party, I mean take what I just walked in on, he's obviously been "partying" for most of the night. There's definitely been some guy in his life at the moment, a bit of a regular, there's something different about his smile. He's totally closed off about it though, which is unusual because he's such a gossip, always up for a laugh. I think maybe the blokes married, or really young or something, either that or someone like Phil!

I decide to sit outside his flat for a couple of minutes after he's gone, hopefully the guy will walk out and expose himself. As I wait, for actually a lot longer than I intended to, I run through the eligible men in the square.

Phil would be hilarious, especially with his ongoing feud with Dad. But maybe not so much Christian's type, he tends to like guys with gorgeous hair, not bald potato heads much.

Billy is a little whimpy for Christian, but you never know maybe opposites attract.

Jack….Oh I'd definitely love it if he'd become my step uncle type thing, free entrance to R and R much? But then there's a whole history with Roxy and Jack, and Roxy and Christian…..probably not.

Ryan is pretty darn hot, and I'd be a little jealous. In the right age range as well, and you know my uncles hot, so definite possibility.

Darren has an if eye scratchingly-annoying fiancée, who he unfortunately seems pretty devoted to.

Al, that would explain why Christian was so desperate to get me to stop flirting with the bloke, but I'm pretty sure Al was responding to me a little, might be bi I guess but I think I've seen him making moves on Roxie recently.

So best bet's Phil and Ryan, God totally hope its Ryan, the thought of Phil in Christian's bed makes me sick in my mouth a little. I'm just about to go home and give up before I see his door open.

Syed…

"Sorted" I hear Christian's voice behind me and jump out of my skin. "It's alright you don't have to do any of that best uncle in the world crap, you still have to do Sunday morning"

"Thanks" I say and hug him, I know he's surprised by my reaction but I'm a little speechless right now.

"Luce what's up?"

"Can I come up?" I ask, wanting to ask him about this.

He turns to look up at his window, this little smile on his face, he actually looks happy. "Not right now love, I was a little entertained earlier if you remember"
