I was so happy when I got up the next morning, because everything felt in place, and I felt as though I really belonged when I woke up in the safety of Rob's arms. Rob was already awake, but being as sweet as he always was; he didn't want to disturb me in getting up.
We got up together and had another shower together, before I walked back into the bedroom and pondered as usual on what to wear for today. The Girls were supposed to be coming round today, so I wanted to wear something nice and flattering even.
I picked a fifties-style dress, with polka dots on it, and white-colored. I picked some wedges to go with it, and took in what Rob was wearing. He was wearing a grey shirt, with blue and red stripes down it, and left a few of the buttons undone.
He had on black trousers and shoes, and he looked absolutely beautiful as he always managed too. I couldn't really take it in properly, and I never would, I knew that. He turned round and grinned at me as soon as he saw what I was wearing.
''You look absolutely stunning, love.'' He told me pleased, as he wrapped his arms around me lovingly and kissed me gently. I sighed against his lips happily, and watched him carefully as he pulled away from me, a moment later.
''You look like a model standing next to me.'' He sighed. I rolled my eyes in response to his negative comments about himself.
''Rob, you look absolutely beautiful!'' I told him because it was true.
He smiled, and I let him lead me out of the bedroom, and we went downstairs, and into the living room, where his arms were back around me instantly.
''I love you, you know that?'' He asked me as he kissed me softly, gently. I kissed him back and instantly tightened my hands into the back of his hair, and kissed him back with the same gentleness as his own lips.
He pushed me back into the wall gently, and let our hands trail down each other's body eagerly, before he finally started to pull away from me. He smiled at me, and kissed me once more on the lips. ''I'll just go and call Kellan; see what time they're coming round.'' He explained to me.
I nodded, and let him kiss me again once more. I watched him as he walked out of the living room, and admittedly…I was checking him out. He turned to me as he reached the doorway, and grinned at me as he caught me looking.
''Like what you see?'' He asked me smugly.
I nodded, and snickered at my silliness. ''Hell yeah!'' I replied; making him laugh, before he walked out of the living room.
I sighed happily, and turned back to look out of the window, where I got a shock. There was a car that I spotted straight away, and that was just because it was the only car out of our house. There were no other cars or houses about, and this was a very suspicious looking car.
It was black, and had blacked out windows, and it was a very posh-looking, brand-new Mercedes Benz, and something felt wrong to me; something felt off. And I knew what it was; it was because I knew that cars didn't come round here a lot.
''Rob,'' I called quietly, but got no reply. ''Rob!'' I called again, as I started to panic about why this car was here. I heard him call back a yeah, and I heard his footsteps; sounding as if he was running, bless him.
He got into the living room then, with his mobile phone in hand, ready to ring Tasha and Kellan up, his eyes on me anxiously.
''Rob, there's a car outside, but it looks too suspicious. It has blacked out windows, and well…I don't know, it just doesn't feel right.'' I explained; feeling like a big idiot now that I explained it to him. But he didn't smile though, he still looked panicked.
''Is it still outside?'' He asked me anxiously. I nodded, and watched him run over to the window. He looked while I watched him, and he made me even more confused as he smiled in response. I looked out of the window to see that there was no car outside anymore.
I gasped in shock, because I was sure that there had been a car; I had seen it outside just a minute ago, and I knew what I had seen. It had been outside, and I knew that it had…and Rob didn't believe me, I knew he didn't.
''I think you're seeing things Charlie.'' He laughed, before tenderly kissing the back of my neck. I shrugged him off angrily, because he didn't believe me. He looked at me confused, so I spelled it out for him.
''Rob, it was there, I can promise you!'' I warned him; hoping that he would believe me. He sighed, and smiled at me in response.
''Well it isn't anymore, so just try not to worry, okay?'' he asked me worriedly. He kissed me gently on the lips, and I forced myself to nod; even though I had known that I had seen it.
''Okay,'' I sighed against his lips. I pulled away then, to ask about the Girls; because I wanted to change the subject. ''So is there any news from Kellan or Jackson?'' I asked him curiously; my arms tightening a little bit around his neck.
He shook his head, watching me softly. ''No not yet; they must be on the phone, because I can't get any answer from the house phone either.'' He told me, before kissing me again. I smiled against his lips, before pulling away again.
He watched me confused, making me giggle. As much as I wanted to carry on, the Girls might have been round here at any moment. And I couldn't wait, because I had missed my Girls, and I knew that Rob missed everyone too.
''You should keep trying.'' I told him, meaning about ringing Tasha up again. He sighed, but nodded anyway, and tried again. I laughed in response, knowing that he couldn't wait to see them. ''So when is your family arriving in America?'' I asked him curiously.
Rob's family had unfortunately missed yesterday's dinner with my Parents, and when they had rung last night, they had told him that they would be getting a flight today or tomorrow; after their flight was cancelled.
''They should be able to get a flight tonight, so they'll be here tomorrow.'' He explained. I nodded, and sat myself on the sofa, watching him as he put his mobile back into his pocket.
''No word from Tasha yet?'' I asked him. He shook his head, and went and sat down next to me. I accepted his arms happily, and snuggled into his chest easily.
''No not yet,'' he agreed simply. It was quiet for a long moment, and I wondered what he was thinking about. ''Charlie, when you saw that car…what did it look like?'' He asked me suddenly. I looked up at him, to find him watching me seriously.
''It doesn't matter; I don't think it was even there.'' I explained to him, sighing. I was sure that it was, but then I wasn't so sure that I had even seen it anymore.
''Are you sure?'' he asked me curiously. I nodded, and reached my face up to kiss him gently. He kissed me with a small amount of pressure, and let his hands move to rest gently on the sides of my face.
He pulled his body to mine more securely, moving up mine, and I let him, encircling my hands into the back of his hair and tugging on the strands gently. ''Rob,'' I moaned, as his lips started to search lower, and to my neck.
But just as we started to get into it, I felt his mobile vibrating in his jean pocket. He sighed, and forced himself to pull away from me. His body was still on mine, as he got out his mobile. I gently ran my hands through the sides of his hair, unable to stop myself, as he answered his mobile.
''Kellan?'' Rob asked, before finally moving fully away from my body. I watched him, sitting up properly.
''Okay then; I'll go and unlock the door now.'' Rob promised him. I realized that the gang was already on their way here, which made me happy. I would be getting to see them again soon. I missed them so much, as we weren't living together anymore.
Rob put the phone down then, putting it back in his pocket. He kissed me once more, before he went to get the door. However whilst I was on my own, I started to wonder about that car. Was I going insane? I had been sure that I could see that car, and then when Rob looked; there had been nothing.
I didn't understand it, and the more that I thought about it, the more that I was sure that I was just seeing things. It was the only way that I could convince myself that I wasn't actually going insane, or mad.
''Hiya Charlie!'' Tasha's thrilled voice woke me up from my brief daydream, and I looked around, and smiled at her as she walked into the living room. Kellan followed after, with his hand in hers, and Rachael and Jackson followed in too.
''Are you alright; you looked like you were dreaming.'' Tasha pointed out as she took a seat on our other sofa with Kellan, while Rachael and Jackson found seats.
I smiled at her in reassurance; as she did look panicked about me. ''I'm alright, I was just thinking about things.'' I explained to her.
''Well don't think too hard darling.'' Rachael commented, before laughing. I rolled my eyes in response, and looked about for Rob before noticing that he hadn't come in yet.
''Where's Rob?'' I asked them confused.
''Right here.'' I heard him reply as he walked back into the living room. I looked to him; he was smiling at me and in his hand, he had a pack of four cans of beers, as-well as Tasha's bottle of lambrini wine and Rachael's bottle of WKD.
I smiled back, and watched as he came and sit down next to me on the sofa, after putting the alcohol down on the table.
He put his arm around my shoulder, and I leaned easily into his chest, as we talked about our new house…and Rachael's pregnancy of course. She was so excited about having this Baby, but obviously nervous too, same as Jackson.
But she looked absolutely beautiful today, and I could tell that she had a healthy, pregnancy glow that pregnant women got. And I wasn't just saying that for the sake of it either; she really did look beautiful, and healthy.
It only felt like they had been here for an hour, when really they had been here for about four hours apparently. They started to leave, and although I begged Tasha to stay, she reminded me that she was only round the corner, and that she would stay another time; promising me even.
I reluctantly let them all go, and went back into the living room to watch them all leave after saying my goodbyes. I went to have a cigarette with Rob outside, but after we came back into the living room; I saw the car again.
''Rob!'' I grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled him to the window, watching his expression the whole time.
''its right there, right?'' I asked him, because I knew that it would be. He stared out of the window hard, and I could
''Charlie; what are you talking about?'' He asked me confused.
''The car!'' I hissed as though someone might be listening or something. He turned to look at me with that anxious, confused gaze that I knew meant that nobody was there. I turned and looked out of the window myself to see that nothing was there; just our gate.
''Love, there's nothing there.'' He warned me before taking my left hand in his own. I sighed helplessly, because I knew that there had been.
''Well; there was.'' I warned him, because it was true.
''Well there's no car outside now, okay?'' He promised me. I nodded, but pulled away from his arms, because I was automatically starting to panic. I didn't feel mad, but then he kept missing it; so I kept wondering if the car was even there.
When Rob followed me up the stairs, and came into the bedroom; I was already lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking over about what had happened. He sighed, and walked over to the bed, and got onto it, from the other side.
''What's wrong, love?'' He asked me anxiously. He tucked a strand of hair behind my left ear, and watched me closely. ''Is it about the car?'' He asked me again; sounding just as worried. I forced myself to nod, still refusing to meet his eyes.
''Please…stop worrying…I don't want to hear that you're worried about it. If I see the car then I'll go out and see if it's the paparazzi.'' He promised me, before gently kissing my forehead. I sighed happily in response, and felt just the smallest bit happier.
''Okay,'' I promised him, even though I couldn't seem to keep my mind off of what had happened today. It was silly, but I couldn't stop myself from doing it.
''Thank-you love,'' he said, before he turned my head round, and pressed his lips gently to mine. I kissed him back automatically, and pressed my fingers into the back of his hair; tightening around the glorious strands.
His body automatically responded to my kiss, and climbed on top of my body carefully. I pushed him away gently, watching him closely. He watched me back with half-opened, lust-filled eyes, his lips slightly parted.
''What are you doing?'' I asked him confused, even though it should have been obvious to me. I just wanted to go to sleep tonight, because I hoped that it would make me feel better, and make me see sense.
''Making you forget your worries,'' He replied in that gloriously husky voice of his, before he gently lifted my body up; gaining a small gasp of shock from me, and he supported my head, ad he crashed his lips into mine urgently.
I groaned against his lips happily in response, and wrapped my legs around him easily, for better support. His hands then trailed to my hips, and down to my thighs, and gently started to pull up my dress.
I gasped, and his lips gently pulled away from mine, and started to make a pattern down from my lips to my chin and to my throat, and back up again. I wrapped my arms around his neck as gently as possible; for more support.
He pulled my dress up to my hips, and out of the way, before suddenly stopping completely and finding my lips again; pushing me back down onto the bed with his hands, and letting his body follow the movement easily.
I groaned in response again, before I could stop myself, and watched as he pulled away from my lips, and pulled away my dress from my body. He threw it on the floor-next to the bed-watching me the whole time that he did.
His eyes lit up as he took in my body, and I had to admit that I safely didn't know what he actually saw in me, and especially my body. He was so gloriously beautiful, and then there was me; boring and ordinary.
And even the way that he was looking at me; he was staring at me as though I was his air to breathe, the reason for him living, and the one thing he could ever want. And yet, it was only that way for me; I was sure that he couldn't be that in love with me, even though his eyes said differently.
''You are so beautiful.'' He murmured lovingly, before his lips came back and crashed into mine. There was nothing that I loved more then when we kissed, especially with his body pressed firmly against mine like how he was now.
We didn't have to make love, because even just him holding me, I felt at home. I really felt like I didn't need anything else, besides his warm arms, and gentle caresses. He was my home, and all I needed to get by was him.
I helped him out of his own clothes, and as soon as we were out of the barriers in the way, we made love, and as always; he was so passionate, gentle, and loving; all at the same time as he pushed and thrust himself deeper and deeper into me, and finally lost it.
I watched-while losing it myself-and took in his true, unbearable beauty. He was glorious in every single way, and I could never really get over it. I loved him so much, and I would never be able to want anything other than him…ever.
