Ella-Louise exited the bathroom wrapped in a towel, finding the room empty, Ziggy was probably still preparing dinner. She opened the brand new, technically old, wardrobe and threw on a dress. The dress she had worn for their date when he stood her up "Might as well let him see this now, he's gone to so much effort". She then sat at the beautiful dresser and applied a subtle amount of makeup and brushed her hair out. Spraying herself with perfume.
Just as she placed the perfume bottle back on the dresser, Ziggy stumbled through the door. Ella-Louise turned in her seat to look at him and giggled quietly to herself. His hair was in disarray, one side of his shirt untucked under the waist coat, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He looks very scruffy indeed.
He placed the two plates he was holding on the desk, in their right places, then rushed out the room again. Ella-Louise glanced over to the plates on the desk, seeing the food he had prepared and chucked to herself. Chef Ziggy had prepared beans a la toast.
He rushed back in the room, using his heel to close the door behind him, it slammed a little loudly as it closed and he winced, immediately apologising. He was holding two champagne flutes and a bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne. Placing the flutes on the table, he opened the bottle and poured the wine.
He picked both glasses up and stood himself up straight, holding one glass to Ella-Louise, who by this point had stood and was leaning against the dresser, just observing Ziggy as he rushed, faffed, and stumbled around.
"Champagne and beans on toast. My Ziggy, you really are spoiling me" Ella-Louise commented as she stepped towards him, maybe a little too close, taking his offering and smiling at him.
Ziggy blushed, realising the combination of food and drink maybe were a little off. Ella-Louise didn't mind, it was the effort he was making that she admired the most.
They clinked their glasses together and took a sip. "You look beautiful" he commented as he looked her up and down. "That dress is really becoming on you Ella-Louise" he gushed, causing her to blush slightly. "You look very dapper yourself" she commented before she noticed spilled baked bean sauce on Ziggy's waist coat and rubbed at it with her thumb laughing under her breath "Ziggy, you do make me laugh" she smiled at him. Ziggy rubbed his free hand at his neck, blushing again. Ella-Louise then pulled at his waist coat to bring him close to her so she could kiss him.
They could taste the champagne on one another's lips, and they both enjoyed it. Ziggy pulled away first "It'll get cold" he commented, then gestured for her to sit. He moved to a chair and pulled it out for her, "Wow, you're really pulling out all the stops today" she smiled, "And why not" Ziggy commented close to her ear as she sat down.
He then sat himself down opposite her and they raised their glasses to one another and took a sip before tucking into their meal.
Ella-Louise almost shot baked beans out of her nose with the first taste, creating a strange noise, grabbing her wine to wash it down with. Ziggy looked at her concerned "You ok?" he asked.
She grabbed a napkin at the side of the desk and cleaned up any possible visible mess she may have made of herself before speaking "Yes yes, fine. It's erm….it's lovely Ziggy" she lied. It looked like beans on toast, but that's definitely not what it tasted of. She didn't know what it tasted of, but she didn't like it, and she didn't have the heart to tell him so.
He smiled at her comment, and tucked into his food. He seemed to rather enjoy it. Ella-Louise tried to take another bite, as he seemed so eager to finish his plate, but the second taste confirmed her suspicions. It was awful. So she pushed the food around her plate trying to make it look smaller, like she had eaten more than she really had.
Ella-Louise glanced down at her watch, 4:25pm "Bit early for dinner" she commented, "I guess, but I missed lunch" Ziggy replied. Finishing up his meal, and picking up his wine glass to finish what was left to wash down his meal that he was very proud of. "Oh" Ella-Louise simply replied.
"Thank you Ziggy" she said smiling, picking up her glass and sipping as he topped his glass up. "My pleasure" Ziggy smiled back offering to top her glass up. He then noticed she hadn't eaten much, "Didn't you like it?" he asked, concerned tilting his head and studying her face. "Yes" she lied again "It's just I had lunch not long before coming home, so I'm not that hungry I guess" she smiled. Ziggy seemed to accept her answer.
They then made conversation, he asked her about how her day was, which she didn't really want to talk about, but she made sure to continue her praise of his thoughtfulness today. She really did appreciate and like what he had done with the room. The layout seemed to create the illusion of the room being bigger, even with large furniture. Little did she know that Ziggy actually had something to do with that, he could manipulate objects, such as walls, and move them. So unbeknownst to Ella-Louise, the room was actually slightly bigger.
They chatted about this and that, pleasant conversation, she asked how much he had spent on the furniture, he refused to say. She offered to give him some money towards the costs, he refused her offer. The conversation naturally drifted to how he was feeling about everything, and that he wasn't quite ready to go back to work. Ella-Louise confirmed that he was still welcome to stay, for as long as he needed, and she saw Ziggy's chest sigh and his posture relax. He didn't want to leave her, not yet.
"Oh I almost forgot" he jumped in his chair, grabbing the jewellery box to the side of him on the desk, "I want you to have this" he said handing it over to Ella-Louise.
She opened the box and saw a beautiful gold necklace with pretty heart pendant hanging from the chain. "Ziggy it's beautiful" she smiled lifting it out of the box to inspect it. "It was my mothers" Ziggy revealed, his smile turning a little more serious. Ella-Louise was very surprised he would want to give her something so personal to him "Ziggy I.." she began to protest, but he stood up and took it from her hands and gently put it on her "My mother liked you very much, and I know she'd be happy for you to have it".
Once he closed the clasp so it now hung around her neck he knelt down beside her, she looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes. She cupped his face and leaned towards him to kiss him. Their kiss grew more passionate. He began to stand up, bringing her with him. Wrapping his arms around her waist to pull her closer, she moved her hands to rake through his soft hair at the back of his head. Both their breathing sped up. There was a real want and need for each other right now.
Ella-Louise felt the heat growing in the pit of her stomach, she thought her heart would burst out of her chest. There was nothing like coming home to a man who had done the housework, she thought to herself. Simple, but true.
Ziggy's hands slowly moved to cup her rear and squeeze gently, causing Ella-Louise to moan. She felt his hands pull her rear, pressing her even closer to him so now she could feel something hard and hot against her thigh. The warmth of his cock against her exposed thigh, even through his trousers was enough to cause Ziggy to moan.
As they grew hot and heavy for one another, they slowly both became aware of raised voices of anger from the hallway outside. Students, room mates, swearing and tutting loudly. "Who the fuck did this?" one called. Ella-Louise pulled away from their moment of passion with a furrowed brow "What on earth is going on out there?" she asked, turning from him to open the room door to see what the fuss was about. Ziggy followed closely behind her.
