Collide
Chapter 9: I Think We're Alone Now
~Kelly~
The sunlight shown through the windows as my alarm went off. There was no doubt about it; it was time to get up whether I wanted to or not.
I smiled when I realized Matthew's arms were around me.
I turned around gently so as not to disturb him. I wanted to watch him sleep for just a moment.
I gently stroked the hair out of his eyes, and smiled even bigger. It had happened. I had finally made love with him. Still, I hopped he wasn't going to regret it when he woke up.
As if on cue, his eyes slowly opened. He looked at me for just a moment, then gently stroked my hair and gave me a gentle kiss on my lips. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
I grinned, and continued stroking his hair. "I slept wonderfully, thanks to you." My smile faltered a bit. "I just hope you don't regret what we did last night."
He kissed me again. "I don't regret it. I wouldn't have done it if I was going to regret it. I knew very well what I was doing when I did it. How about you? Do you regret it?"
I shook my head. "Apart from having my kids, there's nothing I regret less."
He took my face between his hands and kissed me a little more passionately this time. "I'm glad to hear it."
I sighed, and lay on my side, facing him. I propped my head up with my hand, my elbow resting on the mattress. "The question is now, where do we go from here?"
He stroked some hair out of my eyes. "You mean do I leave my wife for you?"
I looked down to the mattress. "It sounds so horrible when you say it out loud."
He placed a finger underneath my chin and gently lifted my face up so that I was forced to look at him again. "Honestly? I don't know. There's a child involved, so it doesn't make the decision so easy."
"But it's not always good to stay together for the kids. I tried that before," I reminded him.
"But I still love my wife," he stated without hesitation.
I felt my heart sink a bit. I looked away again. "So you don't want to be with me."
He moved my face up with his finger again. "I didn't say that. I love you too. I'm torn. I don't know what to do. I just need some time to figure this all out. Surely you can understand that, can't you?"
I nodded, and tried my best to give him a convincing smile. "I can understand that. This is a big decision. It's something you can't take lightly."
He nodded. "Exactly!"
I smirked, feeling a little cheeky. "So, does this mean we can still..." I trailed off as I ran my hands slowly up his chest. "Have a little fun?" I began kissing up the side of his neck.
"Mm..." He placed his hands over my bare back. "We can definitely have a little fun. We can have a lot of fun if you'd like."
I grinned. "I'd like that. So we can still carry on with our relationship—in secret of course—while you figure things out?"
He nodded. "As long as that's okay with you. I don't want to be unfair to you or anything."
I kissed him. "As long as it means I can still have you, I'm up for anything."
He kissed me again and straddled me.
I ran my hands slowly down his back. "Mm," I said between kisses, "as much as I'd love to do this again, it's going to have to wait. We have to work in an hour and a half, remember?"
He sighed. "Crap. I better get home and feed the dogs and cat. I don't have any clean clothes here besides."
"I can make you breakfast before you go if you'd like," I said.
He shook his head. "Na, I'll just grab something from home quick. I better go now before I run out of time. I still have to shower."
"Well, next time bring your clothes and the dogs over here and we can shower together," I said before pulling him in for another kiss. "Just leave extra food out for Moby. That's the nice thing about cats—they can fend for themselves."
"Mm, sounds like a plan." Matt kissed me again.
I grinned, and stroked his hair. "But, he is welcome to come here too if you'd like. I just figured being a cat, he wouldn't be a fan of traveling."
Matt laughed. "You got that right!" He kissed me again. "Okay, I really gotta go."
He got up and I watched as he redressed. He kissed me again. "I'll see you in a little while."
I smiled, and pulled him in for one more kiss. "I'll be looking forward to it."
He kissed me yet again. "Me too. Mm, I really got to go."
After one more kiss, he left.
I sighed with contentment, then grabbed some clean clothes and headed for the shower, a smile on my face the whole way there.
~Matthew~
My dogs greeted me happily, jumping up on my legs as I entered the apartment.
"Hey guys! I know, I know, You're wondering where I was all night. I was at Kelly's. That lady who scratched you guys behind the ears and gave you belly rubs the last time she was here. Remember her? Yeah, you love her, don't you?" I headed into the kitchen to get out the food, and Moby casually came in, rubbing up against my leg. He was always full of love whenever I had his food of course.
After the pets were fed and chowing down, I grabbed some clean clothes then headed in for a shower.
Twenty minutes later, I was showered, changed, and shaved. I headed into the kitchen and made some eggs and bacon quick. I poured myself a glass of orange juice and sat down to have my breakfast.
I had just finished my breakfast and gotten then dirty dishes in the dishwasher, when the phone rang.
I answered in the third ring. "Hello?"
"Hey, baby! Good morning. How did you sleep last night?"
I smiled. It was Naama. "I slept all right. I had a little trouble falling asleep at first. I'm not used to sleeping without you by my side." But, once I had Kelly by my side, I slept like a baby. Of course, the fact that we made love helped a lot." I felt so guilty about it now that I was talking to my wife, but, at the same time, a little turned on as I thought of how Kelly looked last night when I made her climax.
"Aw. I had trouble sleeping without you too. It's only for six more days. The time will be gone before we know it!" Naama said, sounding cheerful.
` I held back a sigh. "So, are you enjoying Chicago so far? How is Aven? Does she seem to be enjoying it?"
"Aven's having a blast! You should hear her giggle and see her smile! We took her to the Lincoln Park Zoo. She clapped her little hands together and laughed whenever she'd see the lions, leopards, or tigers. She's big on the big cats apparently!"
I laughed. "I can totally picture that! Aw. I miss her already. I miss you both already!"
"We miss you too."
I glanced at the clock and knew I had to go now or be late to work. "Honey, I hate to do this, but I have to go. I'm going to be late for work."
"Yeah, all right. I'll call you tonight."
I shook my head even though she couldn't see me do so. That wouldn't work. I'd probably be at Kelly's. "Um, I'm going to be in an out. How about I just call you?"
"Well, I'd call you when you should already be in for the night, but whatever." Naama didn't sound angry at all, but she did sound a bit suspicious.
"Penn asked me to go see the new Jackie Chan movie with him tonight. We might go to the late showing; that's why. You know, we figured wed do a TV father and son outing like dinner and a movie or something." She could usually tell when I was lying, but that was only because I couldn't look her in the eyes when I lied. However, I was an actor, and now that I didn't have to look her in the eyes, I could be very convincing.
She bought it. "Aw, that's nice. All right, well have fun! I'll be looking forward to your call."
"Mm, me too." I felt horribly guilty.
"Have a good day at work today. Tell everyone I said hello."
"Thanks, I will. I love you." I felt like a jerk.
"I love you too. Bye, baby,"
"Bye Sweetie." I sighed as I hung up the phone. I hated what I was doing to her. I really, really did. I knew to most I must look like the scum of the earth. But I couldn't help what was in my heart, and I had somehow I had fallen hard for Kelly—me being a married man or not, I couldn't just ignore that fact. In fact, I think I owed it to my marriage to figure out what it was I wanted, or rather whom it was I wanted.
I sighed again then slipped on my coat and shoes, grabbed my keys, pat my dogs, and locked up and left for work.
I was just going to have to figure this thing out the best I could. That was all I could do.
~Kelly~
"Well, you look happy today! Did you get your kids back?" Blake said, coming over to me. I had only just gotten there two minutes before. It must have been that obvious.
I turned to her and tried to tone down my smiling. "No, I don't get them back for another five days. They're enjoying their time with their grandmother though! I'm just happy today. I love my job. What can I say?"
Blake smiled. "We do have a pretty great job, don't we?"
"All right, guys, head off to wardrobe. Have you seen Matthew anywhere?" Josh, our producer asked, coming over to us.
"Nope! I don't think he's in yet," Blake said.
"He probably just overslept. I'm sure he'll be here soon. You know Matthew—he's always eager to work!" I said.
Josh nodded. "Indeed he is."
I headed off to wardrobe, hoping Matt got there soon. I didn't want him getting into trouble because of me. I'm sure waking up at my house had to have delayed him a bit. I should have set the alarm for earlier. Also, those extra kisses didn't help him with time either. I grinned at the thought.
Matt was back by the time I headed over to hair and makeup. We smiled eat each other in the mirror, but talked as if it were just another day and we hadn't had passionate sex the night before.
Our scenes together had gotten a little steamier. Rufus and Lily had had a major fight and were in their makeup stage.
I guess Matt and I were getting a little more intense in our kissing scenes than we needed to be, for the director cut us off. "Um, guys, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the scene, but could you tone it down just a bit? Matthew, you make it look like you're about to lay her down on the counter and do X-rated things with her. Kelly, you look like you'd let him. Being a nighttime show, we have a little leeway for stuff like that, but not to that extent!"
Matt blushed, and I was sure I was blushing too.
"Sorry!" We both stammered in unison.
"I'm too good at my craft I guess," Matt said, trying to joke his way out of it.
"I hope when referring to your craft you mean acting, because your kissing is not really up to par," I joked in return.
He gasped. "Well! See if I ever kiss you again!"
"Well, sorry to tell you, Matthew, but you're going to have to kiss her again to finish the scene. Just tone it down to PG-13, all right?" the director said.
Matt nodded. "Got it!"
He and I smirked at each other.
The director called action, and we did our best to keep our kissing to PG-13.
I never realized how hard that cold be! I had a feeling it was going to be a long day of taping.
~Matthew~
I thought we'd never be done taping. One of the crew members had subs brought in, so Kel and I didn't even get to be alone for lunch. I was dying to get her alone by the end of the day.
"So, what are you guys doing tonight? I know you must be bored out of your skulls—Matt without your wife and daughter, and Kelly without your kids," Leighton said, coming over to us.
"It's a little boring, but I manage," I said, trying my best not to look at Kelly. I was sure my face would give me away if I did.
"You know what? I enjoy the break. Don't get me wrong—I adore my kids. I just enjoy a break every now and then," Kelly said.
"Well, why don't you come out with us tonight?" Blake asked. She nodded at Leighton. We're doing a girl's night out Leighton, Taylor, Jessica, and myself. We'd love for you to join us. We're doing dinner and spa treatments, then movies at Leighton's."
"And We're doing a guys night out, Chace, Ed, Sebastian, and I. We figured we'd go to dinner, then maybe catch a movie and has drinks afterwards," Penn said to me. "You're more than welcome to come with."
Kelly answered first. "Oh, girls, that sounds lovely. Thanks for inviting me, but I'm really tired today. I was counting on just going home and ordering something in. I enjoy having the house to myself while I can, you know? I like to just enjoy the peace and quiet."
"Aw!" Blake said in disappointment.
Leighton placed a hand over Kelly's arm and smiled at her. "It's all right. We understand. Maybe next time."
Kelly nodded. "Definitely! Thanks so much for thinking of me though."
"And I already have plans with my buddy Jake. We're going to go to dinner. I haven't seen him in a while, so we're going to catch up over dinner, then come back to my place and watch a DVD. Thanks for the offer though. I'll catch you guys next time for sure."
"All right," Penn said with a shrug, sounding a little disappointed.
"Thanks for the invite though, buddy. I do want to hang out with you another time." I clapped him on the shoulder. I felt bad turning the kid down, but honestly, I couldn't go that long without having Kelly alone. She was addicting. One time was all I needed to get hooked.
Kelly and I quickly said our goodbyes, then headed out.
"Ugh! I thought we'd never get out of there!" Kelly said once we were out of the studio and no one else was around.
I nodded. "Tell me about it! Do you want to order a pizza in or pick up something to bring back for dinner? I don't want to eat out tonight. I need to get you alone or I'll explode."
Kelly smirked. "You should definitely wait until we get back to my place to do that. Preferably when we're in bed." She kept her voice so low that only I could hear it.
I moaned. "I really need to get you alone."
Kelly grinned. "I just had pizza last night, so I'm not really in the mood for it. Let's stop by Le Pain Quotidian and pick something up to bring back. Is that okay?"
I nodded. "As long as you're the dessert, I'm all for it!"
She grinned. "Oh, I am most definitely your desert, just as you're mine."
I smiled too. I wished I could take her hand, but I knew the media would jump on that like a flee on a dog. "Let's go then. The sooner we go, the sooner I get you alone."
We headed to Le Pain Quotidian, and I was already thinking about having my "dessert" first.
~Kelly~
When we got home, we made sure we were safely inside with the door locked behind us, the lights on and the curtains pulled before we embraced. We had to be careful when it came to our relationship, we both knew. The media could be in places we'd never think they'd be. Not that either of us were all that famous, but one never know if there was anyone hiding in the bushes of my apartment, or what not.
Matt set our food down on the table then pulled me in for a kiss—a very passionate one at that.
I moaned, and wrapped my arms around him, ruffling his hair with my fingertips.
He picked me up and started carrying me to our bedroom.
I laughed. "But what about dinner?"
"Dinner can wait—you cannot. Besides, I'd like to have my dessert first," he said, his tone serious. He kissed me again, and lay me down onto the bed.
As his kisses intensified, so did mine.
I sighed with contentment as we helped remove each other's clothes. I still could hardly believe that I was so lucky to have him.
He was good with his hands—fast too! My clothes were already off me.
However, it only took me a moment longer to get his clothes off.
Before I knew it, he was inside of me, his hands massaging my breasts as he kissed me, his tongue, begging my moth for entrance, which I was more than glad to permit.
I ran my hands down his back then up to his hair. I loved running my fingers through it. I loved running my fingers through his hair as Lily, and I loved doing it as Kelly.
His lips were all over my neck now. He gently nipped and sucked at the skin there, and I knew he was probably going to leave a mark. Oh well. It was nothing a little makeup or a turtleneck couldn't cure.
He moved his lips back to my mouth, and I was eager to return the kiss, my fingers gripping his hair a little tighter.
He continued making love to me, and hit just the right spot to send jolts of pleasure up my spine.
My head was instantly thrown back and my eyes rolled back with it.
"Ugh, Matt!" He was so good. We had only made love once before, but he already knew my body; he knew what I liked.
I dig my fingers into his back, clenching my muscles around him. I wanted to give him the pleasure he was giving me.
He closed his eyes, and buried his face in my chest. "Kel..." He moaned, and picked up the pace, his mouth moving back to my breasts and he kissed and sucked at them.
"Mm, you're so good," I said, taking his face between my hands and kissing his lips.
"Mm, so are you, Baby. So are you!" He went back to kissing my neck, and I placed my hands over top of his tush to help guide him in more firmly.
He moaned loudly, his eyes rolling back a bit. He quickened his pace, his hands going back to my breasts. Did I mention he was good with his hands?"
I tightened my legs around him and continued to guide him.
It didn't take long for either of us to reach our peak.
"Matthew, yes!" It wasn't often that I called him by his full name. It was more of something Lily would do. But he was so fantastic at making love to me that I just felt like screaming out his full name.
"Kelly... Yes, Kelly, ugh!" I could feel his release, and it made me want more of him.
"You're so amazing, baby." He kissed me as he gently slipped out of me.
I grinned, and straddled him. I began kissing down his neck. "Mm, I want more."
He grinned as well, his hands on my sides. He kissed me. "Mm... I'll give you more, I promise. But first, I need some dinner."
I pouted. "But I thought dinner could wait and I couldn't."
He kissed me again. Don't think of it as dinner. Think of it more as refueling so that I have plenty of energy to give you multiple orgasms." His lips brushed against my ear.
Despite the warmth of his breath, it made me shiver. "Well, in that case, let's eat!"
He grinned, then got out of bed, and took my hand to help me out.
We didn't bother dressing. It was only us after all. Besides, I loved looking at him naked, as perverted as that sounds.
~Matthew~
I had never enjoyed dinner more than I had now. Eating with Kelly sitting naked in front of me was definitely enjoyable to say the least.
She was teasing me. She dipped her finger into the dressing that had fallen onto her plate, and then stuck her finger into her mouth to suck the dressing off. Her eyes locked on mine as she put the finger into her mouth.
I imagined sucking that dressing off her breasts. Before I could tell her exactly what I wanted to do with her, my cell phone rang. I looked to see whom it was, and saw that it was my wife. Crap! I had forgotten to call her.
I clicked the on button and tried my best to sound normal. I was so paranoid she was going to be able to tell where I was and what I was doing from the sound of my voice, as crazy as that sounds.
"Hey, honey, I was just about to call you," I lied. "Penn and I just finished dinner, and now we're off to the movie." I was already lying, so why not add a couple more lie to the list? I figured.
"Sorry. I know you were supposed to call me, but I got impatient. I miss you. I'm having a blast, as is Aven, but we both miss you still," Naama said.
I felt a twinge of guilt, but it wasn't enough guilt to make me tell Kelly we can't continue this. Nor was it enough for me to then go home. "I miss you guys too."
I only half listened as she told me about their time in Chicago so far, and about some couple at a restaurant whose argument go so out of hand that they got kicked out of the restaurant. I was too busy watching Kelly eat a breadstick to pay too much attention to the story. Her lips were wrapping around it as if it were a...
"Honey?"
"Hm?" I turned my attention back to the conversation. "I'm sorry, I must have zoned for a minute."
"I said, do you want to talk to Aven?" Naama repeated.
"Well, duh!" I said with a grin.
"All right, here she is."
I heard Naama coaxing Aven to "say hello to Dada." It seemed to work, for it didn't take long for my daughter's voice to come over the phone. "Dada!"
I grinned even brighter. "Hey, Aven! Dada misses you. Are you having a fun time? I bet you are. Chicago is fun!"
She laughed, and said, "Dada" again before Naama took the phone back from her. "She's really excited to hear your voice!"
I couldn't seem to stop smiling. "I'm excited to hear her voice as well."
My wife and I made small talk for just a bit more before I decided to wrap it up. "Well, we're just about to the theater. I better go now. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Ah. All right. Have a good night. Only five more days now!"
"Yeah, only five more days," I agreed. "You have a good night too. Tell Ashley I said hello. I love you."
"I will, and I love you too. Bye, Sweetie."
"Bye, Honey." I clicked off the phone.
"You didn't have to cut it short for me," Kelly said,
I shook my head. "I wanted to." I felt bad, but it was the truth. My desire to make love to Kelly was stronger than my desire to talk to my wife. I sighed. "I do have to go feed the dogs and cat though. My neighbor fed them lunch for me, but I can't ask her to feed them dinner too, or she'll get suspicious, and possibly let something slip to Naama when she gets back."
"Well, bring them over here, like I said before. There's plenty of room, and Oliver would love the company," Kelly said. She got up and stretched, her naked body being shown to me in a very nice position.
"Screw it!" I said. I quickly called my neighbor and asked her if she could stop by and feed the pets. She knew where I had the spare key hidden. "I completely forgot to feed them before I left for dinner. I'm going to be out with a friend until late tonight, so if you could walk the dogs too, I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much! I'll pay you tomorrow. Thanks again."
I clicked off the phone, and grinned at Kelly. "You're far too irresistible to leave right now. She has the same story Naama has, so I don't have to worry about her mentioning anything to her. Of course I'll have to stop by in the morning to feed the pets breakfast, but oh well. At least I can take you now and not have to wait." I turned my phone off and left it on the table, then headed over to Kelly.
Kelly grinned, then laughed as I picked her up. "Mm, are you as insatiable as I am?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.
I nodded. "Let's just say I have a feeling it's going to be a long night."
We grinned at each other, then kissed as I carried her to the bedroom to make love to her yet again. My wife no longer crossed my mind that night—at least not without my thoughts quickly returning to Kelly. For now, I liked it better that way.
